Sunday Stamping - Fall Nails 2015

Hey there!  Wow, it feels like ages since I've done a Sunday Stamping post!  The Sunday themes went on hiatus for a bit of the summer and then I couldn't participate in last week's but I'm back doing as many Sunday stamping themes as I can.  This week "Fall Nails" was picked as the theme so, even though I just posted a fall leaf mani on Monday, it's always the changing colour of the leaves that I think of when I think of fall...  

UberChic Beauty Collection 5 Stamping Plate and Folder Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  I'm finishing the work week with a review of the latest UberChic Beauty stamping plate collection.  Collection 5 was released two weeks ago.  Luckily it's still in stock so I thought I should get this post up as soon as I could.  Usually I do a separate post for each UberChic stamping plate but, since next week is a Digit-al Dozen week, I wouldn't have had time and, quite simply, didn't want to wait another week!  At the end of today's post I also have a quick review of their plate holder which is a dream for all of us who want to keep their UberChic plates in pristine condition.

Stamping Over Watercolour Nails

Hey there!  This week's 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge prompts are "watercolour" and "most precious polish".  I did a watercolor mani with my pipedream polish A Night In Vegas Cremes collection.  I know I use these polishes an absolute ton but I would say this collection is probably my most precious because they're pretty hard to get your hands on.  I was lucky and was able to grab them during a restock while they were still announcing them.  Of course then I covered most of it with stamping...because I love me some stamping!

Autumn Leaves Stamping Decals

Hey there!  Happy Labour Day to my fellow Canadians and my American friends.  I don't often complain about long weekends but Labour Day makes me sort of sad since it's sort of the last weekend of summer.  It is definitely feeling like fall here.  Our leaves started turning a couple of weeks ago already so these autumn leaves stamping decals that I wore were, sadly, very appropriate.  Luckily, even if I don't love the end of summer, I did love this mani!

Red, Purple and Aqua Negative Space Water Marble Nails

Hey there!  This week's Crumpet's Nail Tart's 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge themes were water marble/water spotted and Red/Purple/Aqua.  Since getting the pipedream polish ANIVC's I have learned to love water marbling so that's the option I went with.  Since PDP doesn't have a red, I chose to use Clearwater to make a negative space marble over Lacquistry's Rediculous (because I like my red's sparkly).

Taylor Swift VMA Outfit Inspired Nail Art

Hey there!  My sister was watching the MTV Video Music Award's on Sunday and I couldn't resist peeking at it every once in awhile myself.  The biggest thing I took away from it was Taylor Swift's outfit....as soon as I saw it the first thing I thought was "that would make awesome nails".  So I gave it a try last night and have to say I love how they turned out!  

LYZ Cosmetics Tea Tree Nail Care Kit Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today I'm reviewing the Tea Tree nail care products from the indie brand, LYZ Cosmetics.  LYZ Cosmetics is based in Singapore but sources all their 3-free, cruelty-free and vegan ingredients from Australia.  I use quite a few of tea tree body/face care products and love the smell so when I was asked to review LYZ's tea tree line of nail care products, I couldn't resist giving them a try.  I was sent a base coat, top coat and cuticle oil to test out.  I've never reviewed products like these before so hopefully this review is comprehensive enough for you to understand how these products work.  Keep reading for all the details...
