Love, plain and simple.

Hi bloggers!


Since Brielle is getting married this weekend, a post about love is only fitting! When trying to decide what I wanted to paint my nails, I looked at the group of polishes that I have yet to use, this Zoya color yelled "PICK ME!" loud in clear and I couldn't have been happier with it. The color by Zoya is called Colbie. 

 

Something else I'm really loving right now is my love ring from Forever21. I just love it, plain and simple.  I've worn it quite a lot since I got it and for under $5, makes it even better.

 

Hope y'all enjoyed and that you have a week full of love and happiness! I know we are!!

Bridal Series: Essie Better Together

Hi everyone! Sorry long time, no blog. I'm taking two summer classes and the final plans are coming along for the wedding, AND! My mom is in town! Woo. 

Anyways, now that I have time to take a breath, heres a brand spankin' new blog! (ps, I finally bought a new Seche Vite! Thank the gods!)

Essie's Better Together! 

I have been coveting this nail polish since I saw the posters for Essie's new bridal collection called Borrowed & Blue. 

Better Together is a light pink and sheer. This is two coats. 

Better Together applied like a dream and topped off with a coat of Seche Vite! NO bubbles! Yay! This polish is so beautiful! It is the most perfect pail pink, it makes my nails look nice and clean without saying "hey look at me!" Which is totally what I'm going for since It's about me, not my nails (for once)!

I couldn't be happier, and I think I have found my wedding nail polish, through all the nudes, this is it. Essie's Better Together is also significant because our song for our wedding is "Better Together" by Jack Johnson. 

Thank you for all your support through the bridal series, and I can't wait to try out more nudes and more importantly variety in my polish in the future! See you (maybe before) when I become a Mrs!

Signature Look

 Hi bloggers!

While Brielle has a favorite color, I have a favorite look. It's just so hard for me to pick a single color so today I'm sharing with you all my favorite look which is the accent nail! I love doing an accent nail because I get to use more than one color and typically get to use a glitter polish (which from my last post, we all know I love!!). For this look I used two butter LONDON polishes, All Hail the Queen and Rosie Lee as an accent.

This combo is one that I have worn multiple times which is surprisingly, I don't wear the same color combos a lot but this one always catches my eye and they just go perfect together! I'll be wearing this mani this weekend for a wedding I'm going to (my dress is hot pink :D).

Unless Brielle posts something this weekend, this could be our last post till next week so be patient with us please!

Glittery Cracked Goodness!

Hi bloggers!

Sorry for the lack of posts the past few days! Brielle and I have both had a pretty busy weekend, as will the next two weekends be for the both of us so bear with us please!

I tried out two of the nail polishes I posted about in my previous haul post. I picked Finger Paints in Laugh My Art Off and Sally Hansen Crackled Overcoat in Fracture Foil. I'm completely in love with glitter polishes and crackle ones as well so I got the best of both worlds with this one!

Close up of the glittery goodness! Excuse the slight messy edges, they weren't cleaned up yet! 

 

And the last one with the crackle overcoat. I loved, loved, loved how this turned out! To make things even better, it got the stamp of approval from my boyfriend :) he said it looked like I could "shoot lightening bolts out of my nails or something sweet" lol

I really liked the Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat. After being slightly disappointed in the China Glaze Crackle Glaze and it's crackling ability, I was a little hesitant with this one. OPI's Shattered polishes still rank #1 for me when it comes to crackle polishes I've tried but so far, Sally Hansen is a close second. 

Hope everyone has had a good start to their week!!

Bridal Series: Essie Topless and Barefoot

I loveeee me some nudes!

Next up: Essie Topless and Barefoot, a pinkish nude. Opaque and a nice polish in all.

I got this polish in... April I think. Loved it! LOVEEEEEEDDDD it. It's such a pretty pink nude color and it matched really well with my skin tone. But now, It's gone all thick and gloopy. What is my nail polish's deal?? I haven't stored them in a different place than I normally would. I mean, they're in a stack n store in the corner of my room, no real direct sunlight, it's cool, no real humidity, what's the deal? Maybe I should stick my favorites in the fridge for a while... I really don't want to buy thinner, but I have a feeling that's exactly what I'll have to do.

Well, along with being gloopy, my polish bubbled...again. Man! I have to get on top of things. I used two coats as one was streaky. (I'll have to see if my Sand Tropez polish is the same as topless and barefoot, since I bought them at the same time) Well, this is two coats with a coat of seche clear (yes, I know this is a base coat, I used it as a top coat - I'm desperate, okay!)

Okay, here's Topless and Barefoot!

While taking pictures, I decided that two coats of polish wasn't enough! I tried some top coats! L to R: OPI Teenage Dream, Sephora by OPI Only Gold for Me Top Coat, Sally Hansen 05 Diamonds Top Coat, and CND Effects Gold Sparkling #570. 

I couldn't believe how much the CND Gold Sparkling top coat changed the color of the polish to the eye! It was crazy, it looked like it had yellow undertones vs pink! 

I'm glad we have another contender for Wedding day nails! Moving forward!

Bridal Series: China Glaze White Cap

Hey everyone! Here's another polish to add to the competition for wedding day! I bought White Cap a while ago, I thought it was such a pretty shimmery white polish, perfect for spring and summer. Such a fresh polish!

White Cap applied really well, no problems there, I used three coats just to get an even coating and a stark color, two would have done the trick, it was just a little sheer for me. I was so happy to see that on the nail, it wasn't just white shimmer. It had gold reflux, which would look fantastic with my ivory wedding dress. SO GORGEOUS!

I love this color on the nails! It was soo pretty! Taking it off was awful though, ugggghhh pulling apart my cotton pad. I really want to try felt to help with my glitter polish removal, maybe when I get around to buying Seche Vite, haha.

Okay, here it is!

Happy Hump Day!
