Cupcake Polish Color4Nails Exclusives (Enchanted/Whimsy)

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today I have a couple of swatches of Cupcake Polishes that are exclusive to Color4Nails called Enchanted and Whimsy.   Cupcake Polish is a 3-free indie brand based out of Dallas, Texas.  I was already a fan of Cupcake Polish's colors but, in addition to being beautiful shades to looks at,  these two seem to have an even better formula than I'm used to from them which is a nice bonus.  Before I get to all the details, it is important to note that both of these shades are a one-time run which means they won't be restocked so, if you're interested, get them before they're gone.

Manis for Rose from Manicured & Marvelous

Hey there!  Today's post is meant to send my fellow Digit-al Dozen-er, Rose of Manicured & Marvelous, all sorts of good feels and healing vibes as she's dealing with some pretty crappy health stuff.  Jessica of Be Happy Buy Polish put together a group of us to recreate some of Rose's designs to cheer her up.  I'm such a big fan of Rose's nail art that it was really fun to go back through her Instagram feed and see all her looks.  Seriously, her nails and her art practically make me drool!  I picked a sexy dotticure from over two years ago to recreate.

HPB Presents Neutrals & Neons

Hey there!  A second Sunday post?  Yes!  I've been feeling like a slacking blogger lately so I decided to write up another post today while I'm just hanging out watching Netflix.  This month, the lovely group of ladies known as the Hobby Polish Bloggers is having a link up with a Neutrals & Neons theme.  I love neons and I'm lucky enough to have snagged the pipe dream polish ANIVC collection before it was discontinued and the newest collection, Mellowed Out Cremes, which happens to have a neutral creme in it called unwind so I mixed up the two collections here.  I can't decide which of my designs worked out better that both combined these colors, the Uber Mat and some striping tape so I'm posting two.  You can decide which you like better :-)

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Music

Press  Sample

Hey there!  For the second time in a row, I'm late for my 40 Great Nail Art Ideas post.  I don't know what's up with me lately with getting posts written.  The nails are done, the photos are cropped, I just can't find the words to describe them I guess.  But, better late than never, here is my mani for this week's music theme.  Originally I had done a goofy one for a song I don't love but that is crazy catchy but changed my mind about it (though I'll still post it on my Instagram later today) and decided to use another one of the new Clear Jelly Stamper layered stamping plates instead.  After all, it is the Music and Notes plate and it was sitting in front of me waiting to be used.  It was pretty much fate.  AND it allowed me to do a song that I enjoy much more.

Delush Polish High and Mightea Swatches and Stamping

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Recently I was sent a few polishes from Delush Polish's latest release to review.  To quote Delush Polish, the  High and Mightea collection is "inspired by the quintessential British tradition of high tea, our collection invites you to indulge in our guilt free menu of whimsical color combinations and delicious bakery infused scented cuticle oils. Prepare to be transported to a London tea room where your senses will savor the rich and flavorsome long time tradition."  I think this is such a cute theme for a collection and her polishes (and, especially the names) really embody the spirit of a fun yet classy tea time.

I also received the newest stamping plate from Delush Polish, also named High & Mightea, that I did four easy stamping manis with.  Keep reading to find all the details.
