Leopard and Tips:)

Happy Thursday Dolls!!!!  Hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend!!! As the wife of a Veteran, I salute the families of the fallen soliders who died in service of their country. I could only imagine the grief and loss that they experience!!!

On to the nail fun!!!! I was looking at Pinterest the other day (not an uncommon event at all!!!) and ran across a pin of some pretty fabulous nail art by Polish Art Addict you can see her original post here.  I used China Glaze For Audrey, Flip Flop Fantasy and Wet n' Wild Black for this mani:) I free handed the tips and leopard spots. Then I sealed it all up with 2 coats of SV.



I am super happy with the way this mani turned out. It is bright and fun and took no time at all. What do you think of this mani, do you get ideas from pinterest too???

Nail Art Fun

Happy Monday Ladies:) Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!!!! I was under the weather all weekend:( Can I just say I hate being sick!!!! Anyway last week I was perusing Pinterest and ran across this awesome Pedicure and just had to try my hand at it!!! Well after I did my toes I couldn't stop myself from doing my hands too!!!! For this Mani I used Wet and Wild Black as my base and for the designs I used regular acrylic paints (they pop better against such a dark base, without need for secondary coats) all followed up with a coat of SV:)



 And although I detest feet pics, here are my toes:)
My toes took approx 2 hours to do:( mostly because I couldn't reach my toes all that well because of my big preggo belly:) My hands took a little over 1 hour, but for results like this it was well worth my time!!! So, do you like it???

Zoya Bubbly Collection

Happy Tuesday Loves:) Hope all of you Mommies had a fabulous Mothers Day weekend!!! I know that I did:)  Anyway, I couldn't wait any longer to show you these fabulous six polishes from the Zoya Bubbly Collection:)  I have been so impressed with Zoya's Summer Collections and this is no exception!!! Bubbly is a collection of  Holographic Glitter infused Jelly's:) 
Some of the products in this post were sent to me for review. I was not paid for my review of this product and all opinions are my own
 First up is Binx, it is described as a orchid purple. I would say this polish is more of a medium purple/pink blend and absolutely Gorgeous!!!! Here is 3 coats and a coat of SV:)


Harper is a Cotton Candy Pink Jelly with a slight gold undertone:) This color is just perfect for Summer toes!!!! Here is 3 coats and a coat of SV:)


 Alma is up next:) This polish is a warm peach/gold metallic and is my least fav of this collection. Don't get me wrong this polish is absolutely stunning but it washes out my skin tone and makes me look sickly:( Here is 3 coats and a coat of SV!!!


 Jesy is one of my favs of this collection:) This polish is a rich coral/orange blend that reminds me of a summer sunset over the water. Perfection!!!! 3 coats and 1 coat of SV:)


 Stassi is a vibrant rich green with a gold sparkle that just sings in the sun!!! This polish should have come out back in March, talk about a St. Patty's day Bombshell!!! 3 coats and a coat of SV:)


 Finally Muse is my absolute fav from this collection!!! This polish is a rich Blue jelly with a very slight Gold undertone. This polish has so many different facets, I really just can't take my eyes off of it!!! 3 coats with a coat of SV:)


This collection is the counterpart to the Tickled collection , both are available now on www.zoya.com:)  you can grab the entire collection for $54 or $9 per color:) What are your favs from this collection???

Zoya Tickled Collection

Hey Dolls:) TGIF!!!! This week has been absolutely crazy!!!! Nesting has taken full effect in my house:) With the weeks flying by until my little girl is due, I have realized I still have a ton to get done... But this week I have been super productive!!!  I have painted the nursery and the hallway (No worries, I wore a mask and the hubby helped) Cleaned my entire house and finish all of the laundry!!! and I swatched the Zoya Tickled Collection:)

Some of the products in this post were sent to me for review. I was not paid for my review of this product and all opinions are my own

First up is Rooney, is a medium pink with definite purple undertones. Gorgeous and Classic all wrapped up in one polish:) Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV!!!


 Rocha is up next:) This Beauty is describes as a classic folly red but I disagree. This polish is a rich orange/red with a hidden shimmer, it is the perfect summer color. Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV:)


Kitridge is up next. This is by far my favorite polish in this collection!!! It is a bright bubblegum pink that pops even against my pale skin:) Here is 2 coats and a coat of SV! (btw my label says Kirtridge, but this color is listed on the Zoya website as Kitridge)


Wendy is a medium coral/melon pink that is stunning!!! This polish is not super bright but I have a feeling that this polish can hold it own against a tan:)


 Tilda is a gorgeous grass green:) This polish is the color of leaves when the sun shines through them:) I Love it! Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV!!!


Last in this stunning Collection is Ling:) Ling is a vibrant medium blue, This is darker than sky blue, I would say it is almost pool blue just a little darker and beautiful!!! Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV:)


This collection is available at Zoya.com:) You can grab the whole collection for $54 or each color for $9.  My must haves for this collection are Kitridge, Rocha, and Ling:) Which ones are your favorites?
