Nails & Ootd

Hey ladies today im wearing opi kiss me on my tulips stamped with Moyou London pro collection plate xl 10 to match my outfit.
Formula wise, opi kiss me on tulips was perfection. Applied well, dried quick, and had a shiny finish even with no topcoat. That's what i love about opi, most formulas are quick drying and long lasting. A little on the expensive side but you get what you pay for! This was also my first time using Konad stamping polish. Oh wow! The black and white are so heavily pigmented, thick and slow drying. How have i been stamping without these? I used Seche Vite to seal it in. I hope you've enjoyed viewing! Thanks! Much love, Brooke

Lottie Dottie

Hey lovelies, hope your having a wonderful day. I recently recieved two bottles of polish from K.B. Shimmer Bed and Bath, lottie dottie white and totally tubular. Indie polishes are my new obsession! I must admit i was a K.B. Shimmer virgin before these. Lottie Dottie white is the one I'm using for my nail art today. Its a white creme jelly loaded with turquoise and fushia glitter. There's also some bar glitter in it. As with any glitter polish, removal is a pain in the ass.
The base is Orly French White with a stamp from my cheeky wild at heart jumbo plate which retails for $10.99 usd and can be found on Amazon and the cheeky beauty website. I stamped with opi no room for the blues and an unnamed purple from L.A. Colors.
Hope yall enjoy! Thanks for viewing! Much Love, Brooke

Matching Nails & Outfit of the Day!

Hey lovelies, today Im bringing you a sponged gradient nail art with a little stamping on top to match my dress. I just love coordinating my nail and clothes! My nails are my favorite accesory, lol. The sponged gradient was done using a makeup sponge and Hudson and Rebel from Zoyas 2014 Awaken collection. I stalked the stores awaiting the release of this collection, lol. Hudson is a beautiful lilac purple shimmer. Rebel is a sky blue shimmer. Both of these are loaded with shimmer. I thought together they just blended perfectly. The stamp i used is from Moyou Londons pro collection plate #13. I hope you all enjoyed this post. Thanks for viewing! Much Love! Brooke

Flower Power!

Heya ladies im excited to show you this flower nail art made using my new Moyou London stamping plates. I absolutely love these plates. The quality is amazing. I've bought afew Moyou plates now and the quality is always amazing. I never have to worry about the image not transfering due to not being etched deep enough. The details are amazing also! I just can't say enough about these plates. They retail for $12.99 usd and are available on Amazon and the Moyou london website. The base for the nail art is Orly Waterfall. A blue toned pink creme from the fall 2013 Surreal Collection . The formula was a bit thick but evened out nicely in two coats. I really like this pink color. Orly can be found at Sally Beauty Supply, Ulta and their website. Stamping plate can be bought on Amazon and Moyou Londons website. Thanks for viewing and I hope you've enjoyed! Much Love! Brooke

Valentine's Day nail art

Hi ladies and gents I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day and weekend. It's been snowy and cold here in the southeast United States. I was actually snowed in for a few days including Valentine's Day on Friday. So what's a girl to do? Pamper herself, lol. Foot bath, mani & pedi, facial masks & treatments, and a good hot bath. Ahhh.
So now on to my Valentine's Day mani. Everything I used on this manicure can be purchased at Walmart. Even the stamp I used! The pink is Salon Perfect In love. I love salon perfect nail polish! It's made by American National Industries sometimes referred to as AII, makers of China Glaze and Seche Vite, the best fast drying topcoat on the market. Salon Perfect nail polish can be purchased for $3.98 a bottle. They have some of the same colors as China Glaze but with different names. A great alternative to those who don't wanna spend much on polish. You get some of the same wonderful colors and formula as those popular colors from China Glaze but $2.00+ cheaper. This color did take alittle longer to dry than most other colors I've tried from S.P.I think this one's dupe is C.G. Make An Entrance. The stamp I used is from Fingers. Ive seen it at several drugstores too, Walgreens and Rite-Aid. It is of good quaility and all images transfer. Excellent buy for around $6.00. It comes with two image plates, a stamper and scraper.

My nails are dipped in gold!

My nails are dripping gold! Hello to all! Im excited to show you all this mani, well the polish really. This is Mariah Pure 18k real gold and silver topcoat. This was introduced Christmas of 2013 but I couldnt bring myself to buy it until after the holidays due to its 30$ pricetag. I paid half price for it on Christmas Eve but im just now getting around to using it. My base is la colors circuit. There isn't really alot i can say about this one except i love it and the application was a dream. It practically applied itself. Below is one coat pure over one coat la colors circuit. I cant wait to use it over different colors and incorporate it into some nail art!

Happy New Year ( almost a week late, lol)

Hi ladies & gentleman I've been super busy this holiday season so this post is almost a week late. I'm sorry for neglecting my blog & viewers. I hope to be able to do atleast one scheduled blog post a week.
On to my mani. The thumb, pointer & pinky fingers are China Glaze Glitz & Pieces. Ring and middle are Sally Hansen Extreme wear in Celeb City. I love this pretty silver polish! Its a beautiful sparkling silver color, and the application was great also. Some silver polishes trend to be on the streaky side but not celeb city. As i must confess celeb city is my go to silver. Glitz and Pieces was a little harder to apply. The large round and hex glitters are so dense you kinda have to paint it on and then go back over the patchy areas to make sure the large glitters & pieces are evenly spread about. Usually with splatter type polishes i use a base color and one coat of the splatter polish but with this one i used no base and two coats of glitz & pieces. I'm happy with the outcome!
