Mary Kay Into The Garden Nail Appliques

These limited edition nail appliques contain 16 decals in a variety of sizes and a mix of floral and lace designs.  I think these are beautiful and would be perfect for an Easter Mani.  I wore them over Mary Kay's nail lacquer in Pink Magnolia.

Born Pretty Camellia Nail Stickers Review and Discount Code!

*Product sent for review*

Today I have a review of the Camellia Nail Stickers from Born Pretty.  They are lovely silver metallic and clear flower stickers.  The package contains large and small size flowers in different styles as well as half flowers and you get them all on one sheet.  I applied them once my polish was dry and sealed them with top coat.  They released easily from the sheet and adhered well.  I loved the way this mani turned out!  Get these for your spring nails!

Happy 4th of July!

I'm back!  I've been away on a summer vacation, but I'm here just in time to post my 4th of July mani.  I normally do a fun red, white and blue design.  This year I wanted something different and "Lady Liberty" by Cirque was just perfect!  I topped it of with a coat of "Fairy Dust" by China Glaze to add some sparkle.  Have a safe and happy 4th of July!!!

Ariel

Ariel is my all-time favorite Disney Character.  I just love her.  I think it’s because she’s not your typical Disney Princess.  Yes, she’s half fish, which isn’t typical, but that’s not what I’m referring to.  Ariel didn’t just sit around waiting for some Prince to come and save her, she took the initiative.  In fact, she actually saves the Prince in the beginning of the story! Take that Snow White!  Ariel wanted a new life and sacrificed everything to get it.  She left her family and her home, went out on her own and took a huge risk for a chance to be with the one she loved.  I could go on and on about how much I love and relate to this little cartoon character, but I’ll just leave it at that.

 

 

This manicure would have looked great if the stickers actually stuck!  You can see how they are lifting.

Think Spring!

While most of the world is enjoying the first signs of spring, here in the Arctic it’s still white and <freezing> cold (and it’s gonna stay that way until JUNE... Ugh).  At least I can enjoy a little bit of spring on my nails, right?

This color is a lot like “Four Leaf Clover” from China Glaze as it doesn’t photograph true to color.  It’s one of those greens that turns blue on camera. 

Blizzard

This mani was inspired by a recent blizzard that we had a few days ago.  The swirls look like the wind as it was twisting and turning and carrying the snow along with it.  I would have preferred to use snowflake stickers rather than stars but, I didn’t have any.  So the stars had to do.
