Purjoi Stamping over CdC Spring!

Hello friends! Over the life of my blog I've shared a few posts on Purjoi products. I'm a fan of their soak off gels, their apple scented liquid latex and of course the clear jelly stampers! When Joi reached out about her next project I was excited! Purjoi now makes stamping plates! Soooo... I've got some stamped manis for you today! These images are all from the jumbo stamping plates. These plates are 4" x 6" with 20 images per plate.

I Deserve A Me Day -05A

I love this image so much! It's always been a dream of mine to travel and see the Eiffel Tower. My base is Colores de Carol Olivia.

I Deserve A Me Day - 05A

This combo gives me a retro tile feel with heart details lol! I sort of really love it though. My base is CdC Aria.

Farm Fresh - 04A

I can't even with this image!!! Sleep + sheep = sooo cute! And I love that they have two styles of faces. My base for this one is CdC Mila.

Eiko - 01A

I live for this mani! There's not a thing I don't love about it. This image is amazing! My base is CdC Abbey.

Eiko - 01A

This image would be amazing for lead lighting or decal/reverse stamping! I went simple with white over CdC Aria.

And one more from the Eiko - 01A plate

Bamboo images are some of my faves so I wanted to give this one a try! I could wear green manicures everyday. My base is CdC Amelia.

Hey, Sweet Stuff - 03A

I had a hard time choosing which image to use, but donuts seemed like a good choice! My base for this one is CdC Lily.

Hey, Sweet Stuff - 03A

I recently saw this image used for an ice cream manicure since it's supposed to be waffle print and it was the cutest manicure ever! I'd check out purjoi's instagram to see that one! Of course I was like, lemme just use this like a fishnet image lol! My base is Polish My Life Vail, topped with CdC Camellia.

Over all these are nice plates. The images stamp well and I didn't have any issues. I just now noticed a patchy image on the I Deserve A Me Day plate and I'm going to email to let them know that now.

Purjoi products are definitely worth trying! The stamper shown in these photos is the Clear Nail Stamper Protective Cap 2.8 cm and it retails for $6.99. The jumbo plates are $12.99 and the round 5.6 cm plates are $2.99.

So Much Goodness Review & Hairspray Marble Nail art

Hello lovelies! I've recently had the honor of getting to try some things from So Much Goodness! Let's just say it didn't take long for me to fall in love!

Let's get started!

Shuga Shuga Exfoliating Sugar Scrub

$6 usd for 4oz.

This is an all natural sugar scrub. It contains pure organic coconut oil, Raw sugar, SMG Oil cocktail, Castille. This is an unscented product. A little goes a long way with this one. I like this type of oilier sugar scrub for my feet and elbows I feel like it tends to be a deeper moisturizer and it keeps my skin nice and soft. The granules are nice and don't dissolve too quickly. If you need/love scrubs like this I'd give this one a try!

SMG Base/Top set $15 usd

This is a trio of base and top coat, you can find these seperately on the site as well. All About This Base is a smoothing base coat. Great for ridge filling! I have minor ridging so I can't really test this one out but it did leave my nailbed pretty and ready for color! There's also Stick It To You which is the SMG sticky base coat. Sticky base coats tend to help adhire the polish to the nail. If you love sticky bases here's one for you try! Last I have the Supa-Kwik quick dry top coat! This is a glossy top coat. I noticed on the site it says nail art and stamping friendly! I need to test this out!

SMG Bomb Balm comes in 1/2oz for $5.75, 1oz for $8.50 & 2oz for $15.25 usd.

This balm contains Coconut & Mango butter, beeswax, essential oil, SMG oil cocktail. This does contain nut oil so if you're allergic please stay away from this one!! It also comes scented, and there are many scents to choose from! I received mine in cucumber melon and it's great. Nice and fresh. Cuc melon was one of my favorite scents when I was younger so this brings back good feels! It also works great! I've been using this at night though it could be used anytime. It absorbs nicely and doesn't have a greasy feel.

I hope you're ready for a mani cause I definitely had to test this out!

SMG Purple Nurple peel off nail tape & base coat. $5 usd.

I didnt test this for base coat purposes as I don't really care for latex based products for that use. If you'd like me to try it please let me know and I will do just that and reply in the comments with my results. I did however use it for a hairspray style marble mani!

Here I've applied one coat of Purple Nurple around my nails.

After the two dips! Ohhh what a pretty mess I made. And sadly also got onto my skin lol!

Here is after I peeled the pn off. You can see how clean my skin is compared to the left overs where I didn't use the pn for protection! Great right, very little clean up around the actual nail!

The final look

So many pics of this one! I couldn't get enough, my apologies! I'll leave a small list of the polishes used below. As for Purple Nurple & the rest.... Definitely a fan! I'm obsessed with products that give me good results and this post is full of them.

acetone additive

Vibrant Vinyls not just vinyls!

*press sample

Hey lovelies! If you've been hanging around with me here for awhile you'll know I love nail vinyls, decals, stencils etc. One of my favorite makers is Vibrant Vinyls and today I have some products to share that aren't vinyl related but are awesome none the less!

In this post I'll be sharing pictures and my thoughts on these V V items! Vibrant vinyls is now offering bags of 10 latex free wedge sponges for $1.49 in her shop! She knows many of us love to sponge over vinyls.

Vibrant Vinyls Liquid Latex $4.99 usd.

The thin brush allowed me to get right up on my sidewalls. I used the stem of the brush to dab on the latex that was coating it and smeared it with the brush all around for easier clean up.

I decided to gradient and stamp. Since I also stopped to take pictures this dried really stiff, so I ran a brush of acetone gently over the latex so the polish would meld to it.

Pulled off the latex and it left very little to clean up.

And my finished manicure. Base gradient colors are Niola & Lillian from Colores De Carol. And the stamping image is from UberChic Beauty plate 1-03.

Last but not least is a new favorite. An acetone additive to help keep you moisturized while using pure acetone or acetone based removers. This is Strip Me Softly. $3.99usd

Shaken bottle on the left vs. non shaken on the right. The directions are to shake the vial and add it into 6-8oz of acetone or other removers to help keep you moisturized during mani removal or clean up. I chose to add one vial into 8 oz of pure acetone.

Vibrant-Vinyls Strip Me Softly Vs Pure Acetone

Here I've taken off my manicure using strip me softly + pure acetone on my middle finger. And pure acetone on my ring finger. As you can see my middle finger has no nasty white dry leftovers from the acetone. If I had used 6oz of acetone (or a normal remover plus strip me softly) I would have been even more moisturized. I'm still super impressed! I chose the scent orange, and it's a gentle but pleasant scent. This also comes in Lavender or Unscented. Must have for any acetone lover!

Vibrant Vinyls also offers scented blue cross cuticle remover in a dropper style bottle for $3.99usd. This is my favorite cuticle remover and now I have some in the Rose scent and I love it even more. Drop it on your cuticles and 30 seconds later you're ready to push those beauties back and scrape off any dead cuticle. Wash your hands and you're ready for your next manicure!

You can buy any of these and more at www.vibrantvinyls.com
