Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired by Fabric

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose


Today we are being inspired by fabric and I had a super cute pattern all picked out and then it was just a dramatic disaster when I went to create the manicure so I had to start from scratch, lol.

I was thinking about what I could do when I looked down at my pajama pants and thought "oh! I can do that in like 5 minutes time!" because of course it was Monday night at 10:30pm when I remembered that I hadn't completed my mani!

So my fabric manicure is inspired by my pajama pants, ha. I'm not sure where these pants are from but they are lightweight for the spring and super cute!



I started with a base of China Glaze Aquadelic, 2 coats. I let that dry for a few minutes and then dotted China Glaze Make Some Noise and used Call of the Wild for the cherry stems. Then I used Kalahari Kiss for the leaves and attempted to use Sally Hansen OMGhost for the cherry shine thing and also for the dots.


Yeah yeah, not very neat but I was in a hurry lol! If I had taken my time, I think this would have been super cute! Maybe I'll try again when I'm less hurried!

Stardust Polish Week: Lovely Lilac, Blue Skies, and Gnome Made

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

As we come to the final day of our little Stardust Polish Week, I'd like to ask if you enjoyed this? Is there a particular brand that you would like to see featured for the week? It doesn't have to be an indie, but if you have one in mind, please let me know and I'll see if I can accommodate that request :-)

Today, I am bringing you polishes that are sadly no longer available from Stardust Polish. Sorry to do that to you but I had to show you these beautiful babies!

Lovely Lilac is a beautiful lilac holo. The holo in this is not very strong, it's more of a glitter but the color is just beautiful. I did two thin coats with topcoat.

Gnome Made is one half of the Gnome Box that Drema and Rica from Just Rica release monthly. This is a medium blue jelly with pastel blue, green, and purple circle glitters and some green hexes. 3 coats plus a top coat.

Blue Skies is one of my all time favorite Stardust Polishes. It's a gorgeous tealish, aqua-ish holo, it has a perfect formula, and I mean.. LOOK AT THE COLOR! The first picture is without top coat, the second is with topcoat. 


So I hope that you guys enjoyed this Feature Week! Like I mentioned above, if you have a brand or feature that you would like to suggest, please let me know!

You can purchase Stardust Polish here. Be sure to follow her on Facebook and Instagram for sneak peeks are upcoming restocks and new releases!

Talk to you soon!

Bonita Colors Cocktails in Aruba and Miss Piggy

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I recently took advantage of one of the Ipsy Offers to purchase an offer from Bonita Colors, which included two polishes and two velvet lip creams.

Cocktails in Aruba is a gorgeous a seaglass teal color. This was two coats and could have probably benefited from a third but I left it at two.

Miss Piggy is a dark magenta pink creme. This was two coats.

I've spoken before of Bonita Colors and I love these polishes. I love the square bottles, I love the price... I love 'em! You can purchase them at Rite Aid drug stores or online at bonitacolors.com.

Talk to you soon!

Love, Angeline Swatches

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have some swatches of the most recent Harmonious Gemstones from Love, Angeline and I threw in a swatch of one of her glitters for good measure.

First, the glitter is Since The Beginning of Time, a glitter bomb that features every glitter Natosha has used since she opened up shop. It was densely packed and this was one coat over China Glaze Boho Blues, with topcoat.

Now onto the Harmonious Gemstones!

First is Rubellite Melodies is a pink polish. The Gemstones are typically pretty opaque in one coat, but two is preferred for full opacity. This was two coats with no top coat.

With topcoat:

Rhythym in Aquamarine is an aqua colored polish. These were all the same formula, 2 coats. Actually, all of these were 2 coats :-)
No topcoat:

With topcoat:

Rhapsody in Cymophane is a yellow gold polish. Again, 2 coats. No topcoat:

With topcoat:

Score-d Garnets is the red gemstone and I love this one. Again, 2 coats, no top coat.

With topcoat:

Finally, Triadic Gemstones is a multi colored gemstone and it's pretty amazing. This was again two coats, no topcoat.

MACRO!! With topcoat! Let's just gaze in the beauty of this. Soooo amazing.


You can purchase Love, Angeline polishes here.

Nicole by OPI My Lifesaver with Rainbow Honey The Worst Possible Thing

Hey guys! Sorry for the late post today. After my hyper mode yesterday, I was beat today! I had to take a nap. Yeah, I'm getting old, lol!

So... I am pretty sure that I will never be a blog post without glitter. It might be considered a sickness, at this point :-p

I started with a base of NOPI My Lifesaver, which I snagged in a two pack from TJ Maxx a while back. (The other color was Top of my World). My Lifesaver is a lovely mint green creme. I used two easy coats here, no top coat. Look at how shiny it is!



Because I'm obsessed with glitter, I added a layer of Rainbow Honey The Worst Possible Thing. I loovveed this! 



It was glittery but not IN YO' FACE glittery. So so pretty!

Word of warning, My Lifesaver is a stainer :-/ Wah wah. Double up on basecoat!

Talk to you soon!
