Plastic Wrap Mani

Hey guys!

I tried out the plastic wrap technique and it wasn't a total success. If you haven't seen any manicures done like this, the process is pretty simple. All you need is two or more different nail polish and plastic wrap (yes, that stuff you use to wrap your leftover food up in). First paint your nails like normal and let them dry completely. Make sure you have little pieces of plastic wrap ready to use, roughly 2 inches by 2 inches. After your nails are dried, paint only one nail at a time and before it dries, crinkle your piece of plastic wrap and light dab off the still wet polish, wait for that to dry and apply our top coat! It's a pretty simple process. Where I messed up was my color selection, as you'll see. The colors I used were OPI Purple with Purpose and Zoya Reece.

It didn't turn out badly, it just didn't turn out as well as I hoped. If Reece was more opaque it would have been better I think. I thought about doing another color on top but in the end I didn't. It's definitely a technique I will do again! Hope you guys enjoyed!

Reece

Hey bloggers!

The last NOTD that I have before Valentine's Day is Reece, another polish from Zoya. Spring seems to be on it's way, at least temperature wise so I thought something with a little more Spring feel was fitting. This color is a little hard to describe because it's always changing in the light. The best way I can describe it is a light purple/pink with a yellow/light green shimmer.

Anja

Hi bloggers!

Sorry about the lack of posts lately, I know we keep saying that almost each post it seems like but we are trying to get back into the swing of things so I'll have a few NOTD looks coming up before Valentine's Day and of course a Valentine's Day look of my own that you should be on the look out for. Hello, run on sentence lol anyway on to the nails. This beautiful deep plum color is Anja from Zoya.

So pretty, so smooth. It went on perfect with only one coat. I typically do two coats at least but this one went on so well the first time, I just stuck with one. If you haven't tried any Zoya nail polishes, I would definitely recommend giving them a try! I have loved every color I've gotten from them. I think I have about 5 or so now and none of them have disappointed me. They are just quality polishes that have great wear times as well as beautiful colors. Also, if you check out their blog they have great sales too!

Oh! And an update on my New Year's Resolution, still going strong! Not only did I decide to stop buying polish, I decided to put roughly $10 in with my change that accumulates over time every month that I don't buy polish. Once the end of the year comes that money is either going to go into my bank account or towards something fun for me and my boyfriend, a vacation or a little weekend get-away or something! Anyone else still going strong with their resolutions?

China Glaze Senorita Bonita

Hey guys! It is HOT HOT HOT here! Jeesh!

I decided to beat the heat with my nails and think of the islands... I tried out China Glaze's Senorita Bonita! And oh yes, this was a beautiful lady.

This red toned purple is absolutely gorgeous! I tried to capture the shimmer and the shades that the duo chrome gives off, but it was hard, this polish is definitely better in real life.

This is two coats over a milky ridgefiller basecoat (ORLY)

Sorry you can see my red camera reflected in my nails! ha!

The shimmer really fails to be captured by these pictures, but I swear, it's there! This is one pretty purple polish (say that five times fast!) and you'll have to see it in person to realize how different it is from most other purples!

Stay cool out there!

Zoya Mira

Hey all! I hope everyone is enjoying Memorial Day Weekend! It's so nice to have wonderful weather and a long weekend! I received my one free summer collection polish from Zoya the other day and woud love to share it with you!

Zoya Mira! I had my eye on this polish since the collection came out! I waited to get it because of course it wasn't first on my list.

Other than nudes and red, purples are my favorite! Purple is my absolute favorite color, but sometimes on my nails it doesn't look so hot. Compared to Demi, Mira was a dream. Perfect in two coats, application was wonderful and I had no problems (well if you don't count my top coat woes).

 While wearing Mira I wondered how close in color it was to China Glaze's Grape Pop. Preeeeetty darn close. In person they look identical, but on camera they turned out a little funny because Grape pop had been sitting for a while and got color messy.

Next up, I have a few nude/pinky colors that I want to show you. Since my wedding is under three weeks away, I'm looking for the perfect color for my big day! So I am in search for the perfect pinky beige nude!
