Hello everyone! 

How are you doing? Good I hope! Today I'm sharing a sweet and simple post and it's all because of my lovely friend Kristin (link below on where you can follow her and her nails!). Ugh, she's such a sweetheart and to be even sweeter than sweet she sent me a surprise! My very first Cupcake Polish! 

I was super excited when she randomly sent me a tracking number. I couldn't even believe it when it got to me. It arrived and I immediately put it on.  I wore it for 4 days. Day four barely had signs of tip wear, I rarely wear polish that long ever. It's just so pretty in any light!

Today I'm bringing you two manicures I did using Polish'M polish and Sharpie markers!

I used the markers to color on some foil and my brush dipped in isopropyl alcohol to liquify my sharpie colors (one color at a time as I went along painting). I also dabbed my brush to remove excess color because I didn't want it to run away all over making a huge mess that's hard to remove. 

For the first manicure I gently painted my colors on randomly over a dry base of Polish'M Silver lining which is gorgeous. Silver lining dries with a gritty glitter texture which is perfect for painting on a sharpie base! When that was dry I topcoated with a quick dry top coat and stamped using an image from BornPretty plate Bp-64 (10% off code listed in sidebar in case you'd ever like to use it). 

OoOoh fun with sharpies and stamping. Lol, I really thought this was a fun mani. 

For my second mani I used Polish 'M "Gold Digger" as my base. I did everything the same as the first time, only this time I painted the colors in a gradient and blended them together. I really enjoyed this one, the art I wanted to add was a fail... But it was still a gorgeous manicure in my opinion anyway.

Must..have..sharpie..shopping..spree.... soon! 

Thanks for hanging out with me today! Have you ever done a sharpie manicure?

*polishes were sent by the maker for some sharpie art! 

Today I'll be sharing swatches of the LE July-August Once In A Wild collection by FingerPaints. This collection has six polishes and they're definitely getting ready for fall. My favorite season! Even though it's summer where I am, I'm over the triple digit heat already and it's just starting lol! Since I can't have fall weather I'll take fall polish, so....Onto the polish! 

Amazon Sky

Amethyst Accent

Once In A Wild 

Exotic Emerald

All of these are two coats plus topcoat. 

Amazon sky, Once In A Wild & Exotic Emerald all dry to a gritty glitter matte finish. Even though I love textured polish they look best top coated in my opinion. 

The formula on my bottle of Exotic Emerald was on the thick side, a few drops of thinner fixed that.

This collection will be available at Sally Beauty Supply through August. 

That's all for today's post. Thanks for hanging out! 

Until next time!

*Press Sample & Review 

Today I'm happy to bring you a review on some amazing Glass nail files from Mont Bleu! They sent me a few of their glass nail files to try and I'm in love! Mont Bleu  manufactures not only glass nail files but other decorative beauty items as well. Many have Swarovski crystals added to them for some gorgeous sparkle. They also have beautiful hand painted pieces. They have so many options and beautiful designs, there's something for everyone and then some! I'm really interested in picking up their file with a hard case so it has the extra protection while being carried around in my purse! 

Here are the files I got to try! 

These are from their classic line which are beautiful colored handles that gently gradient themselves to a more gentle faded color as it gets towards the file end. They come in three sizes, large (7.68in), medium and small. Pictured here are the Medium (5.32in) and small (3.54in) sizes. 

The small files are perfect for home or  to keep in your purse or car. My nails love me so much more when I'm always prepared lol! 

I also received two files with Swarovski Crystal decor and they're lovely! Let's take a peek at those. 

I have these in the large size (7.68in) and the small (3.54in). That is one big file, I'll probably use that beauty to keep hubby's nails nice and trimmed. I love the Swarovski accents though!! Ohh ahh!

They're so pretty and sparkly! 

These files are extremely well made. They're etched and will last a lifetime if you take care of them properly. When I feel like mine aren't filing as well I give them a gentle wash and dry and they're like brand new all over again!

I've tried some really crappy "glass files" that were coated and not etched. And those give glass files a bad name. These are the real deal. Awesome, amazing, I can't even handle how much I love them. They can easily take off length if you prefer to file rather than cut your nails. Or just a light touch to maintain your nails. And I find they don't shred the edge of my nails like normal nail files and emery boards. 

www.design-glassware.com is where you can find these files and more if you want to pick one up!
Find them on Facebook and Instagram! 

Thanks for hanging out with me today! 

Until next time!

*Decals were sent to me by the maker for review. Polish was purchased using my own resources. 

Today I have some easy nail art using three zoya pixie dust colors and quatrefoil  stencils from vibrant vinyls! I've been so lazy in the art dept that I feel like I just want to use all the vinyls, so I can have super easy and fun nails in no time. This might be one of my favorites. 

Links below on where you can find Zoya & Vibrant Vinyls. 

Polishes used for this manicure are Zoya Purity for my base, and my gradient is made up of Nyx, Stevie & Arabella

I really loved the final look of this one. Gradient all the vinyl manicures!
