Londontown Usa Lakur 2015 Spring Glitter Collection

*press sample

Hello lovelies!

Today I have the spring glitter collection from Londontown USA Lakur. This collection contains 4 micro glitter toppers that are delicate and perfect for spring. Each swatch is one coat over a base color and topcoated. The base colors I chose are also from Ltul and will be listed under the swatches if you're interested.

Onto the swatches!

Glasgow Glamour over London Calling

Cheshire Plains over Trolley Away

Manchester Nights over Lovely Jubbly

Avon Gorg over Chuffed To Bits

These micro glitters are in a base just thick enough to spread them nicely over the nail in minimal strokes. I feel like too many would leave it sticky and could possibly cause glitter pileups. They're super delicate and I like that. I bet they look great over dark colors too! That's all for this post. I hope you enjoyed it. Be back soon with more from Londontown Usa Lakur. These retail for $16 usd online. Talk to you soon!

Xo, Lo

Insta dri stamping

*Press Sample for review*

Hey hey! Today I have three Insta dri polishes to share that were sent to me for review. I decided to include a stamped accent nail using each polish. I think I'll start doing this for all of my Insta swatches. Seems like a great idea since we all love to see if they stamp well!

Leapin' Lilac stamped with UberChic Beauty 1-01

Plummet stamped with UberChic Beauty 1-03

Re-Teal Therapy *more teal in person* stamped with Born Pretty Store plate Bp-24

All of these are two coats plus topcoat. Lovely formula as usual from this line. I also think all three stamped nicely over a white base. I don't think they would pop over a darker base though. All in all I'm happy with these. What do you think?

Are you into stamping? Do you have any favorite "non stamping" polishes that you use? Let me know down below!

Until next time!

Circle Back Around

*I Bought This

Hello everyone!

Today I have a very short and sweet post with a couple pics of Circle Back Around by Polish 'M. This one is a white crelly base with amazing small circles of different colors and two tiny sizes of matte black glitter. It's divine! Swatches shall we....

The formula is amazing, two coats of fabulous. No fishing, after being upside down for 5 minutes this is what I got. And I loved it. I mean LOVED it. I can't get enough of Polish 'M and her awesome polish.

She even has an amazing fan page where she offers some fun things like special group customs.

Group Custom #1

If you'd like to be a part of that group you can send your request HERE
if that link doesnt work she has her group listed in the about section on her polish page listed below.

She's offering the last bottles of Group custom #1 so if you're interested in purchasing I'd hurry and like her page to find the post on that!

I have to say her polishes have me coming back for more and I'm not even mad at it. That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed today's post.

Let me know In the comments below how you feel about circle glitter!

Until next time!

Essie

Essie Flowerista Swatches and Nail art

* I bought this

Hello everyone! Today I have swatches of the Essie Flowerista collection and some freehand and stamping floral nail art! (I will admit my life has been a little hectic and I've had these for awhile now. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things!)

I was so excited to have my love Sahyly from LyLyNails mule these to me. If you don't know what that is, it's when you send someone you trust money to have them purchase and ship polish to you if you don't have access to them yet, or if you (like myself) want to save some money on a collection since she can get them much cheaper per bottle than myself. Anyway I should really stop rambling now.

Onto the swatches and nail art!

Flowerista

Garden Variety

Blossom Dandy

Petal Pushers

Perennial Chic

Picked Perfect

Unlike a few "pita" Essie colors that I own I really enjoy these. All of my swatches are two coats + topcoat.

Im also trying to get back into doing more freehand art. It's just that I do really love stamping also. So here's a little bit of both.

Flowerista, Perennial Chic, Garden Variety

Garden Variety, Blossom Dandy, Flowerista

Perennial Chic with stamping from UberChic 1-03 and some tiny bullion beads.

Thanks for hanging out with me for this post. I hope you're doing well! Are you an Essie fan? Let me know in the comments below!

Until next time.

gradient

Opi hawaii nail art

*I bought this

Hey guys! Im here again with another short and sweet post! Today I'm bringing ya some nail art that is a bunch of things in one. I'm pretty sure I've stated that sometimes I just can't stop, this is one of those times. For this manicure I've used 3 shades from the Opi Hawaii collection, more info on them below.

I started off with a base coat of Opi "Do You Take Lei Away?". Once that was dry I started my gradient of DYTLA and "Hello Hawaii Ya?". To add a bit more character to the background I decided on the water spotting/shredding method using "That's Hula-rious!". Once that was dry I went and stamped it using two images from the Bundle Monster 2014 cyo set. So many layers to this one. I really enjoyed it though, and I hope you might as well.

What's your favorite nail art technique? As you can see I love so many I combined three into one lol!

Until next time!

Salon Perfect watermarble for spring

*I bought this

Hello everyone! I hope you're doing well. I won't be taking up much of your time today/tonight. I'm just here to share my Salon Perfect watermarble for spring.

For this marble I used "In Love" & "Bellini" by Salon Perfect. Once that was dry I grabbed my dotting tool and some white acrylic paint for the simple flowers and dots. I also used Bellini for my accent flower on a base of In Love. I hope you enjoy this mani!

Let me know what your favorite season is down below, and why! Im actually a fall lover, even though spring floral manis are my favorite. Lol

Until next time!
