Skittle Stamping

Hey Guys!
Hope you are having a great Friday!

I had some of my Julep polishes on my desk and just loved the combo
 that I had to do a look with them.

It is weird cause I used the same Konad white stamping polish but when I stamped it on the green one, it came out slightly yellow.
Oh well..I still like it.

My 35th Birthday Nails!

Hey Everyone!
Happy Friday April 12th!

Today is my birthday and I wanted to show ya'll what I chose to wear today!

I didn't want to do like the typical cupcakes or balloons but wanted to go out comfort zone and do something I've been wanting to try.

I wanted to have some fun and try doing some non stamped flowers.

I used a striping brush for the branches and a dotting tool for the flowers. 

I guess they are kind of cherry blossom inspired.

Julep Fast Dry Topcoat

 China Glaze Fairy Dust

Konad Special Stamping Polish Black

(Since I have not set up my nail room, I am working with all my Juleps and some others. I did not have a brown in my refined stash so I took the Konad black and added a little bit of nail thinner to get it watered down to paint with a stripper brush)

 You can see in above how I put the Fairy Dust just on the branches and flowers to add just a bit of bling. I think something would be wrong with me if I did not use Fairy Dust on my birthday!

Just love that topcoat.

I even did the design on my non dominant hand!

Below is the comparison of the two hands:

 Left Hand

 Right Hand

Not to bad for painting with my non dominant hand. I realized I made the flowers slightly smaller. I guess I have a rougher application of a dotting tool with the dominant hand. lol

Julep Maven March It Girl Box Mani

Hey Guys! Happy Monday!

As promised, here is the mani I came up with using

 the colors in the Julep Maven March It Girl Box.

These colors are just perfect for spring!

 I decided to use a sponge technique to get the watercolor like background.

I also could not wait to use my new Winstonia Plates!

Here I used W111

 From Top to Bottom:

Julep Freedom Polymer Top Coat

Julep Simone

Julep Teri

Julep Shenae

I forgot to take picture of it but used Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Silver Sweep for the stamping.

I really love how these came out and I hope you do too.

Thank you for checking these out and I hope you have a fantastic rest of your week!

Julep Maven March "It Girl" Box

Happy Saturday Everyone!

I know it has been a while and I am so sorry. I had gotten into a car accident. I was driving and hit some water, hydroplaned and hit a tree. 

Luckily the only injuries I sustained was a super sprained wrist and I broke my tibia and ankle.

My beautiful Challenger was totaled but I am just so thankful that these were the only injuries!

Ok so onto the Julep Maven March Box!

 This month's theme is Get Ready to Play.

 I totally think I will be taking inspiration for the card and doing a look with a matte topcoat to mimic this chalk idea in the card.

As a bonus they included this Strawberry -Mint Lip Balm

Oh my goodness is this tasty!

It is super soft and very moisturizing!

Here are the three colors and the descriptions are from Julep's site:

From Top to Bottom:

Julep Simone: "Soft pastel lilac opalescent shimmer"

Julep Teri: Tropical coral pink crème"

Julep Shenae: "Pastel mint green opalescent shimmer"
