Julep Mila and Daphne with Winstonia W113

Hey Everyone,

Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a fantastic day! 

Today I am playing with the Winstonia plates.

They really stamp well and have some great designs.

 I love Julep Daphne, its like a dusty robin egg blue that i feel just looks so great with the silver.

This has so many different colors but is still subtle...if that makes sense. 

But it had that soft blue so I thought the Daphne would work.

Thank you for coming over and see you next time!

Hologram Gradient Dot

Hey Everyone!

Hope you are having a great Friday Eve!

I of course have been playing with the lovely China Glaze Hologlam polishes I got for my birthday.

I wanted to create a look where the dots started off dark and then changed to light.

I really liked the combo of the pink with the greys.

Colors Used from left to right:

Astro - Hot

Cosmic Dust

Galactic Grey

I also will rave about the longevity with these hologram polishes. With some other ones Ive had, they will start chipping in one day. These lasted a good three days before I started getting tip wear.

Thank you so much for taking time to stop by.

Till next time,

Julep Maven May It Girl Box

Happy Thursday!

I have for you my It Girl Julep Maven Box!
This box is just so pretty and the colors.....beautiful!

How beautiful is the packaging this month?

The special gift are these adorable rose hairpins.

 These polish colors are just so luxurious looking together. No surprise that I am in love with Paris. I mean I am such a sucker for a holographic glitter top coat.

 From Top to Bottom:
(Descriptions from Julep site)
Paris: "Multidimensional holographic glitter top coat"
Clara: "Opaque peach creme"
Coco: "Oxblood crème"

Ohhhh.....How pretty is that topcoat?!?!?!

I decided to show ya'll what I do with my ribbons from the boxes.
The ribbons are just so pretty to throw away so i tie them on my "crystal" chandelier style lamp
 I have in my nail room.

Thank you all for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic rest of your Friday Eve!

Julep Jill Seal Salt Finish Polish and Stamping Test

Hey Everyone!
Happy Tuesday! 

I got this Sea Salt Finish Polish in my Julep Mystery Box and I just had to test out how they are to stamp on.

I used a couple of stamps that were solid and then a couple that had a whole nail design with some detail.

Julep Jill

 As you can see, the whale and mermaid stamped pretty well. The whale had just a bit that had a hard time sticking in the center but I know if I redid it, it would be perfect.

The seashell all over design came out good overall, there were a couple spots where the polish didn't transfer but nothing really noticeably.

The bamboo design I tried on the pinky was a big fail. It just didn't want to stick in that center bit and I tried it twice.

Overall I think that as long as using solid images that this type of texture can be stamped on. Im sure the others would be good too but....I can lose my patience quick with stamping so I'm gonna stick with solid ones. :-)

See ya next time,

Green and White Girafffe!

Hey Everyone!
Happy Thursday!

My super awesome friend Brandi makes these fabulous hair bands that she calls Sassy B Bands! 

These suckers are great.

 Not only are they in cute patterns but they do not slip....like not at all.

Click here to visit her Etsy shop.

She does custom stuff too so feel free to drop her a line of what you are looking for!

I was inspired by my three Sassy B Bands and  I had to do some corresponding nail designs.

The first one I have to show you is of the green and white giraffe print

 Matches pretty darn good right?

Julep Sea Salt Mystery Box Arrived!

Hey Guys!
Happy Wednesday!

My mystery box arrived!

 So as you can see I got a nail file and toe seperator thingies as a bonus gift.

So as the description says, we are going to get one of the new Seal Salt Finish polishes in this box. There were three colors and I really was good with any color I was gonna get and I have zero textured polishes so I was excited to try one out. 

And for polishes:

I got three dupes in this box. One was  Vivienne but  I really like so that was not as disappointing. Another dupe was the Matte Top Coat which ehhhhh.....and the third was Simone. To be honest.....I didn't even realize I already had Simone till I went to put on my racks. LOL

 From top to bottom:

Descriptions from Julep site:

Vivien: "'Champagne bubbles'- a full coverage multi-dimensional gold glitter"

Jill: "Smoked beige Sea Salt Finish"

Claudette: "Smoky brick red crème"

Simone: "Soft pastel lilac opalescent shimmer"

Matte Top Coat: "Apply to create an ultimate matte suede finish."

 Here is the way that Jill came out with the texture.

I applied one thin coat, waited for it to dry completely then applied another thin coat.

 I did not use a base coat with this. 

I wasn't sure how I would like the textured feel and look but....I gotta say that I'm kinda digging it.

You know I'm gonna try stamping over this too...Ill keep you updated on that.

Alrighty guys that is all for today but thank you for taking time to stop by and

 I hope you have a great day!
