365 Days of Color Rock Candy Mani

Happy Friday Everyone!
I apologize profusely, I got a new job and the hours have cut back my nail time. I have some manis that i need to get into blog form and I promise to tackle them this weekend.

I got a order of 365 Days of Color a few weeks ago and they are absolutely fabulous!

The first of the 365 days of colors I got to show you is Rock Candy.

This was the one polish that got me so excited about this indie brand.

Shade

I could not decide for a good base color that would not throw of the glitter so I put it on a light grey since that was the only color that there was no glitter of.

 Base: Nail Life Gripper

OPI: "Cheer" Your Toys

365 Days of Color: Rock Candy

Top:Seche Vite

Gradient Sparkle

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to do something soft and pretty.

I used the sponge technique to do a gradient of CND Guava and China Glaze For Audrey.

I then put a coat of Essie Shine of the Times for some flakie goodness

 I'm thinking of adding a gold stamp on top. Hmmmmmm......but which one! ;-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Influenster Summer VOX BOX

Happy Saturday Everyone!

Yesterday I got my first Influenster box!

Influenster is a site that you fill out surveys to earn badges and if you qualify they will send you a lovely box of samples to try and then review!

Here is what I got in my box:

I'm so impresseed on the size of the samples!

It comes with a card that has a description of all the 

samples plus gives you the regular retail price of them.

 

 I was excited to get this shampoo and conditioner. Call me silly but love Heidi Klum so I was curious about trying this, it smells really nice. 

 The great thing it says is that it provides moisture for 12 hours. It has of course a smell like sunscreen in that pina colada kind of way.

 Heck yeah a full size bottle of Sally Hansen's new magnetic polish.

Of course I tried it tonight and I will post some pics of the swatch soon!

 Sorry about the flash but this is also by Sally Hansen and its therir new nail and cuticle hand creme. 

It had a good consistency when i tried it and has a nice citrus smell. Yeah!!

It says it will last through hand washing!

 Quaker Banana Nut Bread Soft Baked Bar!

It looks so yummy!

I will definitely be ripping into this in the morning!

 New Always Radiant Samples

 How cute is this little pouch bag? Totally going to be using this for the beach!

 Came with two tampons, three pantiliners and a pad.

Let me just say, tried the liner and it is super thin, its like nothing is there. 

Pretty sweet!

I hope you guys have a fabulous weekend!

Thank you for visiting!

Happy Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July!

Does everyone have some great plans for today?

I did a couple of manicures for this celebration.

The first one was using the nail foils I had gotten from dollarnailart.com.

It was my first time ever using foils and the application was pretty easy.

 I did find out though that these have HORRIBLE durability.

After a few hours they started to "peel" off. Its a fun effect but only for a event.

Lava Tides,Arctic Tides & Aegean Tides

 I then decided on this design:

 

 I used the sponging method to do the gradient design and

 used Julep America for the ring finger and thumb

 I used Kleancolor Silver Star to give the gradient a little pizazz.

I hope you all have a fun and safe 4th!
