UberChic Beauty St. Patrick's Day, Basketball Love, and Soccer Love Stamping Plates Review

*Press Sample

Hello lovelies! I have an unusual (for me) mix of stamping plates from UberChic Beauty to share. I am not a team sports athlete or fan but I know many of you are so I hope you enjoy the looks I've made with the new basketball and soccer themed images. I also have a couple looks I've created with the new St. Patrick's day plate which have me looking forward to the holiday. Let's take a look..

Colores de Carol Ice Cream Parlor Collection & Lucky Me (St. Patrick's Day LE)

 *Press Sample

Hello lovelies! I am currently on a glitter crelly kick and couldn't be happier with these new shades from Colores de Carol! I love to incorporate these into nail art looks because there are so many colors from the glitters to coordinate with. I've posted a couple nail art manis using these polishes on Instagram (if you're not following me you should check them out!). Let's get to the swatches..

St. Patrick's Day Holographic Rainbows

Happy St. Patrick's Day ladies and gents! Since I don't own any green clothing (does teal count?) I wanted to do something festive on my nails for the holiday. So don't you dare pinch me!

15 Gorgeous Green Nail Polishes for St. Patrick's Day

Green-tings lads and lasses! If you've been following my blog, you'll know that in the past I haven't been that big on green. But I think it's time to admit that I have been converted! I have so many STUNNING greens that haven't seen enough love, and what better time to share them, than this month for St. Patrick's Day? I have compiled a list of 15 fabulous shades which are a mixture of mainstream and indie polishes. Some of these are just what you'd expect for the holiday, but I've included a few unexpected shades as well. Enjoy!

Gold Is A Leprechaun's Best Friend

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Who's doing something fun to celebrate? We don't celebrate the holiday in our home, so just a regular ol' boring day for us. But that doesn't mean my nails have to be boring!

Oh What Luck! St. Patty's Day Mani

Hello everyone! My kitchen remodel is all done, and it looks great. We're trying to put things pack together and I'm still getting used to the changes. Adjusting takes a lot of mental energy for me in my old age.

I have one more St. Patrick's Day mani for you. Growing up I never liked this holiday because of the requisite wearing of my least favorite color- green. I can't say I like the holiday any better now, but I am pretty happy with how this mani came out.

Colores de Carol Gilded Shamrock March Exclusive

Today I have another green for you, one that for me is very wearable as greens go. Starting this month Colores de Carol will be releasing "color of the month" polishes, that are only available the month of their release. This is the first one for March, very appropriate for St. Patrick's Day. 

Feeling Irish For A Day With Zoya Staasi

Hey everyone! I feel like it's been so long since I've posted! I have been going through a kitchen remodel and it has made life more complicated than usual. It's coming along well though, and I'm so excited for a new kitchen! With the tiny bit of extra energy that I've had, I did some simple nail art. 

Luck O' The Irish Water Marble

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! This isn't a big holiday for me. Growing up we never did anything to celebrate except to wear something green to school. Even that was done without enthusiasm, I just wanted to make sure I didn't get pinched. Green is my least favorite color. Also, if I have Irish in me, it's marginal. I don't drink, and corn beef and cabbage has never sounded appealing enough to try to make. So there are my reasons for not doing anything special to celebrate. All the same, that doesn't exclude me from trying out some nail art for the occasion!

This mani is a little crazier than my recent St. Patrick's Day nails. In this mani I wanted to include some Leprechauns' gold too. I love how it sparkles! Don't you feel lucky just by looking at it?

I have yet to do a water marble with a consistent design. I basically can never get the polish to do what I want. So I just try to find a part that looks cool and go with it. My water marbling skills haven't changed since my first try, but I still have fun with it. I kind of like to be surprised by how each nail turns out.

What I used:

China Glaze Lighthouse- yellow gold glass fleck
Wet n Wild Fergie Glowstick- day-glo green
Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas- deep green
Seche Vite top coat

What do you think of the design? What do you do to celebrate St. Patrick's day? I love to hear your comments!

St. Patrick's Day Half Moons With Zoya Hunter and Opal

I have a quick St. Patrick's Day mani for you today. The star of the show here is Zoya Opal, a polish I bought months ago and can't believe I'm just now showing off! What better time to do it than for the upcoming holiday? I have another St. Patty's theme mani I hope to have for you on Monday, so don't forget to tune in!

Artificial lighting:

To create this manicure I applied two coats Zoya Hunter, then applied fast dry top coat. After they were nice and dry I placed reinforcement labels over my cuticles. Then I painted on one coat of Zoya Opal, then a matte top coat before removing the labels.

Outdoor lighting:

What I used:
Zoya Hunter
Zoya Opal
China Glaze Matte Magic
Sally Hansen Dries Instantly
Reinforcement labels

Hope you enjoyed! Let me know what you think in the comments. :)
