UberChic Beauty Party Time Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today I have a fun new stamping plate from UberChic Beauty, the Party Time plate.  I know it's supposed to be Blue Monday but hopefully the two fun manis I've done with this plate are fun enough that they'll help you chase away those blues!  The plate was designed to celebrate UberChic's 2 year anniversary but my manis celebrate other occasions.  The first design celebrates my bestie's birthday today and the second works well with the upcoming Chinese New Year celebrations.  Keep reading to see all the details about this plate and today's looks.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Coral and White

Hey there!  This week's color prompts for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas is one that just screams summer - coral and white.  I had the personal prompt of "stamped' which made it a pretty easy one for me since stamping is my first love.  I decided to keep it super simple and just stamp white over a coral creme.  A lot of the time the simplest manis are my favourite, as was the case with this one.  I don't often use tribal stamping images but I'm going to start to more after liking this one so much.

Sunday Stamping - Inspirational Word Nails

Hey there!  Today's Sunday Stamping challenge of Inspirational Word Nails couldn't come at a more appropriate time for me.  My Uncle Dennis was diagnosed with esophageal cancer two years ago.  Since then he has undergone surgery and chemo and suffered two heart attacks.  Unfortunately a couple of months ago it was discovered that the cancer is back, has metastasized and is now incurable.  But he's going to fight to stay around as long as possible.  He is the sweetest man - he will do anything for someone who needs help.  It feels silly to just do my nails in honour of him but I guess I did it anyways.

The Digit-al Dozen does Neon: Day 3 Sunset Nail Vinyls

Hey there!  It's the middle of The Digit-al Dozen's Neon Week and for today I have a double gradient that I did with B Squared Lacquer's EDM Collex and some sun nail vinyls from Twinkled T.  I thought, it's summer so why not do something hot and sunny?  Keep reading to see all the details...

Shark Week Nail Stamping

Hey there!  It's the Discovery Channel's Shark Week.  Before this year, I'd never paid any attention to shark week because I figured it'd just be a lot of gory violence but my sister likes it so I've watched a few shows this week and turns out it's really quite informative.  So I was inspired to do a Shark Week mani last night which is currently making me laugh/cringe overtime I look at my nails today.

Water Marble Nails with B Squared Lacquer's EDM Collex

Hey there!  On Monday I posted swatches of the latest collection from B Squared Lacquer, the EDM Collex.  Of course, before I even swatched them, I wanted to see if they could marble.  I had problems with them spreading at first but, after a good shake, they did indeed marble!

B Squared Lacquer EDM Collex Swatches

Nothing to Disclose

Hey there!  I don't normally buy whole collections but it seems like, with the awesome neon collections coming out lately, that I just can't help myself.  I'm one of many people dying for the Pipedream Polish ANIV neons but it seems I'm just not on the ball enough to be able to snag those.  But I did get my grabby hands on the new B Squared Lacquer EDM Collex and I swatched them this weekend to post for those of you that may not have seen them yet.

The Digit-al Dozen does Patterns on Patterns: Day 2 80's Double Stamping

Hey there!  For my Day 2 Patterns on Patterns Digit-al Dozen mani, I have the biggest eyesore!  But the 80's weren't exactly subtle in their fashion sense so why should my 80's themed nails be subtle?!  These are really busy and I actually quite like them now that I'm seeing them again.  And you can't go wrong with a good glow in the dark polish...so when using 6 glowers, it's guaranteed to be a win, haha!

31DC2014 Day 2 - Orange Gradient Dotticure

Hey there!  It's Day 2 of the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge.  So far, so good.  After posting last night's red nails, I had to take them off to do today's "orange nails".  And I decided to try something I've never done before - a gradient dotticure!  For this I followed this tutorial from Chalkboard Nails.  I'm frequently scared of dotticures because I have problems with spacing/size consistency but those issues don't matter here which makes this style really quick and easy.
