Stairway to...

It's the final day of the Digital Dozen Bling Week challenge!! Today I tried to do something a little more exciting! It's been such a busy time for me lately and my creativity is suffering!  These I did with some GOSH Holographic (the new version which is a bit easier to use than the old) and some fancy scissors and tape.  I don't do many tape mani's...mostly because I lack the patience to wait for them to dry in between coats but this one was pretty and easy!  I hope you enjoy it!

With Liberty and...

Today's post is kind of a two-fer. It's day four of the Digital Dozen's bling week and it's also a chance to show off two of the new Zoya Pixies! These are VERY blingy but in a really nice, subtle way.  I love that they're opaque in two coats, unlike the last round of Pixie Dusts.  They're also really sparkly and even though they are textured it's not a super obvious or annoying thing. I used Liberty and Solange for this mani! Don't forget to check out what the other ladies came up with for this challenge!!

Feather Light

It's day two of Bling Week with The Digital Dozen! These nails aren't super bling-y but they're more of a subtle bling!  I used Zoya Julie and Gei Gei for the base colors and they're so shimmery in the sun!  Then I added some Nails Inc Edinburgh to the accent nail!  I love how understated and fun they turned out!

The Digital Dozen Does...Bling!

It's time for another Digital Dozen challenge week!! This weeks challenge is Bling! These nails were actually something I did to be festive for a recent trip to the zoo, but they're also very bling! Leopard is still hands down my favorite go-to pattern for nails in a hurry because it's SO easy to do and it always looks great.  Don't forget to check out what the other ladies came up with for today!!

Colors Used:

China Glaze I'm not Lion and Mahogany Magic

LA Nail Art Pen in Black

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards...

These are some simple nails I did for an event awhile back.  Since the event was for butterLONDON, it seemed fitting to use their colors for my nails!  I started with Fiver, a gorgeous mint green which is perfect for Spring and Summer.  Then I wanted to add a copper accent on it somehow.  I started with the idea of a half moon but then I decided, for whatever reason, to try out some arrows.  I used The Old Bill and a small art brush for that.  It could use some better precision, but I really loved the results!!  I hope you all enjoy them and thanks for following!!

U is for Unpredictable

I have a super pretty polish to show you for today's ABC Challenge. The letter for today was "U" and I dug out this China Glaze color that I haven't used since I originally got it. It's called Unpredictable and it's from the New Bohemian collection.  The collection was made up of mostly duo chromes and this is no exception.  It's a green to blue shift and it's just gorgeous. I also loved that these have some shimmer to them and an overall metallic effect so they're just really cool from all angles. This is two coats of Unpredictable and it's got a pretty flawless application. Happy to fall in love with this one all over again!

Bad Ass Polish Copper Waters

Today I have another swatch of Bad Ass Polish for you. This is the second of the new collection that I have for you! The first was Chocolate Covered Cherry.  This one is called Copper Waters. I want to remind you again that one of the great things about these polishes is the way they are packaged.  They come wrapped in felt inside of a super sturdy cardboard tube,

and then when you open the tube, you get a little thank you along with some directions on how to use the felt if you'd like for removal of the glitter polishes.  It's actually quite handy although it's not my glitter removal method of choice.

These tubes are wicked sturdy and they do an amazing job of protecting the polishes during transit to you or if you have to move them or if you're just clumsy like me and tend to drop things!! You can see how incredibly durable they are by watching this video of the creator, Amy, throwing the polish filled tubes into the air and letting them fall onto concrete!  Packaging aside these polishes are just gorgeous and complex.  The swatch above is three coats of Copper Waters with no base color.  It's a predominately blue and gold glitter mix, but like the other Bad Ass polishes, it has a whole host of other gorgeous colors that pop when it hits the light.  I also love that these can be layered up for full coverage or they can be easily thrown over the top of another polish, so they're very versatile.  They dry pretty smoothly as well and don't seem to eat top coat as badly as many other glitters I've had. I really can't wait to try layering this one over some other colors!!

These polishes were sent to me for my honest review. I have not been compensated in any way for my opinion.
