I can’t have too many sweater stamping patterns in my life. This plate is an instant favorite. It’s starting to really warm up here, we don’t get much of a winter to begin with..so sad. Since it’s almost spring I went with 2 of the less wintery patterns for my manicures.  And I’ll be saving the other images from this plate for a lot of looks next winter! 

Let’s take a quick look at the 4 that are on the wintery side. 

Each one picked up like an absolute dream! The detail is amazing. I really love all of these images, like a lot. Why can’t it be sweater season all year?! Why?!

For this mani I wanted a sort of delicate look and I’m so happy with it!

This is one of my favorite prints...

This is my second cat eye gel and I love it just as much as my first. The formula is a dream! I applied one thin coat and cured it for 30 seconds. Then I begin working one nail at a time. First by applying a second coat as neatly as possible and then holding the cat eye magnet a few millimeters from my nail for roughly 30 seconds. Then I cure for another 30 seconds. Once all of my nails are done I apply a coat of no wipe top coat and cure for one last 30 second round. Those few simple steps leave this really lovely effect and I can not get enough. I really look forward to adding more magentic shades to my gel collection.

Thanks for hanging out with me today! Until next time!



*Received for swatching/review. All opinions are honest and 100% my own based on my experiences.

The bbb stamping polishes have a shorter round brush. I love this because it leaves the perfect amount in one swipe to fill the entire image while scraping. They’re also nice and opaque. 

For this look I didn’t top coat over the stamping. I did try it on my nail art mat and also manicures that I’ve done since this one and with a floated bead It didn’t budge. If you’re interested In the base color I’ll be back to talk a bit about it in my next post so stay tuned! I used an image from the Dixie Plates Mega Mani Mix 01 plate. Links below! 

I’m pretty pleased with the opacity of this white shade. It did have some minimal smearing but that could be prevented by waiting a little longer before top coating. Or using a larger bead of top coat. My base for this one was a group exclusive made by The Don Deeva. Even though it’s no longer available there are many other amazing shades that are! I also used one of my favorite images from the Ejiubas Don Deeva collab stamping plate! I’ll leave a link to The Don Deeva shop and the Ejiubas store below!

Silver Mirror Effect/ Aluminum Flakes

Next using the same application method I tried the transparent Chameleon flakes over both black and white. 

These flakies give totally different looks depending on your base color. I love the pastel feel but I definitely love them over black. My polish choices are Wedding Gown White and Little Black Dress both by Glisten & Glow. 

I’m a huge fan of nail art flakies and powders. These are easy and fun to use. These two and many more color options are available through the links below!

I hope you enjoyed today's post, until next time!

For this mani I’ve taken two thin coats of a black soak off gel over a completely dry coat of UNT Ready for take off peel off base coat. This makes gel swatching a breeze. Once cured I applied a thin coat of the Lily Angel no wipe top coat and cured it under an led lamp for 60 seconds. (On the label of mine they have the cure times switched, under an led mine was cured perfectly in just 60 seconds, not 3 minutes which I assume is actually the UV cure time.) Then I applied a small amount of the Holo Chameleon powder and rubbed it in with a sponge eyeshadow applicator. I applied one more coat of Lily Angel no wipe top coat, washed, dried and moisturized my hands. The end result is gorgeous! I can’t get over this finish.
