BruisedUpDollie Nails: vibrant vinyls

UC Art Deco Chic Matte Mani

Hello lovelies! Today I’ll be sharing some of my favorite products that can be found in the Vibrant Vinyls shop! Besides offering amazing Vinyls, April stocks all sorts of goodies from nail art items, wax melts to facial care like peel off masks and more! A few of these are new to me and instant favorites, I've been using them for a couple of weeks now. A couple are long time favorites that I wanted to talk about, lets jump into the post!

First up is this Limited Edition Pink Sea Salt Scrub.

There are a couple left in the shop so if you’re interested now would be the time to grab one! This is a great exfoliant for dry skin and elbows! Ingredients: Pink Himalayan Sea Salt, Coconut Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Cranberry Seeds, Fragrance Oil.

Romantic Rose Sugar Scrub

How pretty is this scrub with the rose petals infused throughout! Ingredients: Romantic Rose: Sugar, Coconut Oil, Vitamin E, Grapeseed Oil, Rose Petals, Essential Fragrance Oil, Liquid Colorant.

I like to alternate weekly between these two scrubs. My hands, elbows and legs are so smooth! I love them. I definitely recommend these scrubs if you need some moisturizing exfoliating goodness in your life.

Another of my all time favorite items is the Strip Me Softly Acetone Additive.

These are amazing for adding moisture into your skin while removing your polish. Add 1 vial to 8oz of Acetone and you’re good to go! These come in a ton of different scents and they’re high up on my list of must have products!

A favorite for using with Vinyls, Fast & Hard top coat!

The Fast & Hard top coat. Dry to the touch in under 3 minutes and rock hard in 15. This can be used over nail art and stamping. With a light hand I’ve never had an issue with it disturbing nail art. I try to float all of my top coats gently over any art, no matter the brand.

This one is a NEW favorite of mine VV Cuticle Cream.

The VV cuticle cream is really fantastic! It’s light and creamy, absorbs nicely and doesn’t feel greasy or oily. I actually use a small amount multiple times a day as a hand creme it’s that good!

These are just a few of the many awesome things you can find in the Vibrant Vinyls shop. I hope you stop by and try some things out soon!

Vibrant Wax?!

Hello lovelies! Today's post is going to be a lot different than what you usually stop by to see, but it's going to feature a shop that I really love, Vibrant Vinyls! This is where you can find a wide variety of nail art related items. And now I'm even more in love because April is soon going to add a new product to her shop.... wax melts! I've been a wax lover for a little over a year now. I have several warmers and lots of random wax melts stored away lol. Shhh I like to collect things ok?! Well not really but I do obtain a nice little stash and slowly melt through the seasons. When I got the chance to try out some of the upcoming Vibrant Wax I couldn't wait, I melted one moments after snapping some pics!

These little cupcakes were so cute! The cotton candy scent is light and sweet.

If you've been a reader for awhile you'll know that I love roses and all things floral. This one is a beauty to look at. The scent is reminiscent of a favorite childhood cereal which always makes me think of lemon and I love lemon, this beautiful wax tart is a sweet citrus-y bakery scent.

The rooms in my home are fairly large. The throw was nice and the lovely scents lasted a good 8-10 hours. You may experience a longer lasting scent experience if your rooms are smaller than mine. I also melted one using a tealight warmer versus an electric warmer and I feel like the throw from my tealight is always less than my electric warmers.

Over all I think they're great and I can't wait to order some other scents soon! You can find Vibrant Wax in her shop on the 14th! And be sure to stop by the VV Facebook page or my social media to spot the wax melting video I shared! 19 seconds (sped up) of melting awesomeness!

If you love melting or manicures and nail art, I highly suggested stopping by and trying out some things!

Vibrant Vinyls all the things!

fast and hard top coat

Vibrant Vinyls Fast & Hard Top Coat Review

Hey guys! I'm here with a review for you, A vibrant vinyls review! And since I'm sure you've read the title.... You know it's on her new fast dry top coat! I couldn't wait to try it out and share my thoughts on it with you!

So.....I hate when I've stamped or done art with a red polish over a crisp white and it turns my mani pink. *womp womp* so I wanted to test this out. And here's my result!

I'd say this is a success. Very little change in the white. And my image is as crisp as it was when I stamped it. I waited 45 seconds or so before top coating.

Next up Is this sponged stencil look. I used vibrant vinyls new illusion stencils, a white base and a few rock candy jints from The Don Deeva.

Another success! I waited 30 seconds or so before top coating this one. The only smudging is where some of my polish slipped under my vinyl during sponging.

Then I decided to put it to the most ultimate test I could think of. I have a random black stamping polish that I rarely use because no matter what top coat I use, it smears it beyond recognition. I own a lot of top coat, and not a single one was I able to use for it.

I recently created this look using some don deeva polishes with stamping using the black that could not be topped. As you can see, I did have some smearing, but very very little near my cuticle. But holy shit, I can't even. If I had waited a minute longer I bet I wouldn't have had any smearing at all. Now this impressed me.

If you're using this over nail art I recommend a very light hand and floating a decent sized bead. In my experiences most of my smearing was caused by too much pressure and the bristles then cling to the art.

The dry time for a rock hard mani is around 15 minutes depending on how many coats you're wearing or how thick they are. Once again Vibrant Vinyls is wowing me with her products. If you're a top coat lover. This is one worth trying!

You can find Fast & Hard top coat, vinyls, stencils, cuticle oil and more in her shop!

Nail Prep & Clean by Vibrant Vinyls

Hello lovelies! It's time for another nail care review! This one is going to be on the Nail Prep & Clean from Vibrant Vinyls.

A clean oil free nail plate is just part of the whole routine to making your mani last longer. I know a lot of us that are super active in the nail community don't wear our manicures very long at all. Peel off base coats are really popular because of this. The faster we can switch our manicures the better! BUT there's always someone who loves to wear a manicure for longer than a day. This is also great for anyone who uses gel nail polish.

Nail prep & clean is great for removing dust and debris from the nail after cuticle removal or after the nails have been gently buffed. It will also dehydrate your nail plate. Removing the oil from your nail plate will allow your base coat to adhere better to your nail. This along with thin coats of color, wrapping your tips, avoiding polish on the sidewalls or flooding of the cuticle & of course a good top coat, should give you a manicure that will last 5+ days. I've seen a lot of success doing this on my girls. My youngest can keep a mani on for 11+ days. It also depends on body chemistry. Because some may only get 5 days of wear, like my oldest.

I tested this out for myself and here's Cindy! I know, every time I give her a shout out here she's always a hot mess. No, I haven't learned how to properly handle her yet. But I'm trying I swear! Lol. The whole point is.....

Here's my manicure after 7 days! I have some growth showing and tip wear on my pointer mostly. Other than that it was holding up great. I got a chip in it around day 9. And I got cotton stuck to a couple during a swatch-a-thon, so I removed it later that day. Not a bad run by any means if you ask me! This mani was prepped and cleaned, base coated, 2 thin coats of color, and top coat.

If this sounds like something you'd like to try here's all the info on vibrant vinyls that you need to know!
