Silver and Aqua Faux Watermarble Stamp

Hey Guys,
Happy Sunday!

Today's mani came from inspiration from a Monster Energy Drink. I know weird right? The color combination was just so pretty!

Julep Robin

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On

Sally Hansen Insta Dri Silver Sweep 

 Bundle Monster BM-320

I really like this stamp cause it sort of gives you the look of a watermarble without all the messy work.

I hope you all have a great rest of your day and see you all next time!

Julep Spring Mystery Box Color Block

Hey Guys,
It's Friday!

Today I have a design that uses three of the colors I got in my Julep Spring Mystery Box to create a sort of subtle, soft color block.

I just love the combo of the soft blue grey of Julianne with the soft pink of Grace. 

I also alternated which color I put a coat of Camille to give a iridescent glitter pop to.

When I showed my Dad he said..."That has a 60's vibe." He's too cute. I love how he likes seeing what I'm painting and to even check out my polishes I get. Super supportive of my addiction!

 I started off with a base of Kate because Grace was just too sheer. 

Even with the base it took three coats to get it opaque.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Thank you all for stopping by and I will see you next time!

Julep Spring Mystery Box

Happy Wednesday Everyone.

I finally got my Julep Spring Mystery Box in the mail today. 

Took two weeks to get to me but I did get some real beauties here and......no dupes!

 It is always a gamble when getting a mystery box but luckily I got all new ones!

This box just oozes spring! I need this around me today
cause it is raining so bad here in southern Mississippi!

 I love that they used a separate box with lid which I will totally reuse. 

I got these descriptions from the Julep Site unless otherwise stated:

Camille is not listed on Julep site but is a limited edition opalescent glitter topcoat

Sarah “sheer pink coral with iridescent glitter.” 

(This one is no longer on the Julep site but I did some searching and found came out in May 2012)

Julianne: "Smoky grey blue crème"

Grace: "Classic 'go-to' light pink sheer"

These two glitters are just so pretty. I'm such a sucker for shiny things. :-)

 Description from site:

"Quench dry, dull skin with Julep's ultra-moisturizing body crème. Gently exfoliates with pomegranate and papaya enzymes, while shea butter and a powerful blend of jojoba, avocado, and kukui nut oils provide deep and lasting hydration. Leaves your skin soft and smooth to the touch."

It smells really good and I think I will like it better than the Grapefruit Body Frosting!

  

The other extras that were included are the three hair ties we received I believe in the January Maven Box, a emory board, a pack of ten One Step Polish Remover Pads and some chocolate eggs. Yeah those eggs didn't make it a minute. lol

My April Maven box should be coming any day now so look out for that post. 

Thank you again for visiting and have a great rest of your day!

Light it Up Blue for Autism Awareness

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Today is the day to shine awareness on Autism.

I do not have any family members that are affected but I have a good friend I worked with in Savannah who has a son with Autism. 

 I am showing my support with this blue mani I'm sporting today.

 I used these three to create a sponged, mottled effect background and then put a coat of the China Glaze Fairy Dust to just tie everything together.

I also used Marion to stamp on the pinkie.

I decided to do a sort of skittle with the puzzle piece ones. on the index i did the blue background with white stamping. The middle is a lighter blue background with silver stamping and the pinkie is a white background with blue stamping.

Konad White Stamping Polish used on Index

Sally Hansen Insta Dri Silver Sweep  used on thumb, middle and ring

China Glaze Fairy Dust used on all on top of base 

 Bundle Monster BM-321

I tried to use the heart that had the puzzle pieces in it but it kept coming out smeared. I used all my Konad stamping polishes and just never looked good.

Bundle Monster BM-319

This puzzle full nail design was a pain in the butt! 

The bottom part is not etched enough so it never got a full opaque enough of polish, even when using Konad. I tried scraping super light and still nope. 

I got it to work enough to use but man it was causing a bunch of cursing. LOL

Winstonia W112 Basket Weave Stamping

Hey Guys! Happy Tuesday!!

Today I have another mani using the Winstonia plates!

Winstonia W112

I really like this basket weave design.

 As always I used my fave silver for stamping, Sally Hansen Insta Dr Silver Sweep and 

for the base I used Essie Bobbing for Baubles.

I have seen so many posts from people about this Essie color so decided to break down and get it. It is such a great Navy and the application is so smooth and opaque in 2 coats. 

Thanks for taking a look and have a great day!
