Creative Shop Stamping Plate Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Hooray, it's almost the weekend!  To kick it off I'm sharing three manis that I've worn recently, done with some of the new Creative Shop stamping plates.  I wish the Creative Shop plates got more attention in the stamping world.  I myself haven't been super aware of them but I'm glad that has changed.  After receiving these, I spent some time on her website and snooped around and I really like a lot of the designs she has.  I hope that my review here will open some more people's eyes to them and maybe we'll see them around more often.  I was sent #16, 17 and 18 and thought the quality and the image were great.  And, for those of you searching for long images, these are made for you.  Keep reading to see all the details...

UberChic Beauty Great Outdoors Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Though summer is (sadly) officially over, it's not too late to enjoy some outdoor time so I thought today would be a good day to review UberChic Beauty's Great Outdoors mini stamping plate.  There's something about this plate that has an autumn feel to it even though I think most of us do our camping in the warmer months.  There is something amazing about being outside in the fall though.  I spent last weekend at the cabin and it was amazing.  The weather was warm and the leaves have all turned and, since it gets dark earlier now, I got to do some skywatching.  The plate might not have stars on it but it does have trees and acorns and lots of other outdoors-y images.  Keep reading to see what else it has.

HPB Presents Glitter Toppers

Hey there!  The Hobby Polish Bloggers is a Facebook group full of folks like me who like nail polish so much that they feel the need to blog about it.  Every month we have a little link up for anyone who feels like participating.  This month our theme is Glitter Topper which gave me a good excuse to reach into those poor Helmer drawer that rarely see the light of day.  I had so much fun with the first glitter topper that I used that I ended up doing two manis to go with the theme, both inspired by nail ladies I admire a ton.

Press  Sample

Hey there!  I know I'm late in the game but on this lovely autumn Monday, I have swatches to share from the KBShimmer Fall 2016 collection, currently available at Color4Nails.  I personally love the crazy mix of finishes here.  There's anything you could want - cremes, glitters, holos and more!  Over the years I've become a big KBShimmer fangirl and always look forward to the new collections.  I wasn't surprised when swatching these that I had no issues whatsoever with any of the formulas.  She definitely knows what she's doing when it comes to making polish!  This collection is comprised of 12 polishes so I have a ton of photos down below so I'll just get to it without too much yapping!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Autumn

Hey there!  Today's nail art theme is Autumn so I hope you're not sick of fall nails just yet.  I'm still enjoying them because, as long as I'm wearing fall manis on my nails, it means there's no snow on the ground.  I used the theme as an opportunity to use a new polish Femme Fatale polish that even has Autumn in the name AND to use the layered stamping image from UberChic Beauty's Lovely Leaves plate that has been so darn popular and rightfully so.

It Girl Nail Art Review

Press  Sample

Hey there!  Today's review post is a big one.  Nicole from It Girl Nail Art,  sent me two of her latest stamping plates (IG110 and IG112) to try out, as well as two of her new cuticle oils and stamping polishes.   It Girl Nail Art is an indie company based out of Tacoma, Washington, USA and their products have always been of the highest quality so it's nice to see her branching out into areas other than stamping plates.  These new products are also great but, in particular, the cuticle oil fantastic.  I finished one already and am now looking at buying some more in some new scents.  Keep reading to get all the details on the new products as well as some info on how I did my manis that you see below.

Hey there!  This evening I'm bringing you the brand new collection from Delush Polish - The Knight of Thrones Collection.  These polishes are inspired by the males of Game of Thrones, to complement the previous Dames of Thrones Collection, but don't let that trick you into thinking these are all masculine colors.  These are for all of us who love keeping our fingertips colourful.  It is a lovely fall collection that includes some darker colors, some cozy colors, a glitter that screams autumns to me as well as a couple of brighter shades.  Keep reading to see all my thoughts and find out which ones I'm head-over-heels for.
