 *press sample

Hello my lovely Society Sisters! April's The Holo Hookup theme is "Mythical Creatures" and each one is magical and ethereal! These light shades are perfect for Spring without being obvious pastel shades. Because of the light and delicate quality of these polishes they were especially hard to capture all the little details. So just trust that the photos don't do them justice! This month the contributors are the three permanent indie brands- Cupcake Polish, Different Dimension, and Glisten & Glow- with guest brand Illyrian Polish!

Happy New Year, Welcome 2019!

Happy New Year my lovely Society Sisters! I am so ready to start things over with a fresh new year. How about you? I was looking at my New Year's post from 2016 (here) and had to laugh at my goal setting. This year I'm feeling inspired to make bigger and better goals for myself. Resolutions sound a little too.. resolute.. and rigid for me right now. Goals seem to be a little more flexible and forgiving. Maybe that's just me.

Hello everyone! I usually plan out the color schemes of my reviews better, but somehow every mani here turned out to be green! I think my brain was receiving subliminal messages and I just had to go with this Spring theme full on.

What's Up Nails New Stamping Plates & Vinyls + Tools Review

Hello lovelies! Today's post is nail art (yay!) created with a few products I was sent to review from What's Up Nails. They have recently launched under their house brand name, six awesome new stamping plates. The designs on the plates are really beautiful and the etching is high quality. I was sent another product not shown above that has presented a learning curve for me so I'll have to have a second post for when I figure it out!

31DC2016 Day 10: Quatrefoil Gradient

Hello lovelies! It's already day 10 of the 31 Day Challenge! Can you believe it? Only 21 more days to go.. Aye yai yai. Deep breaths.. I can do this! Today's mani is inspired by the "gradient" prompt. I cannot believe how crisp and clean the quatrefoil design came out with my vinyl stencils. I think that may be the best I've ever done before. As the Challenge goes on I keep thinking, now THIS mani is my favorite so far, and today's nails make me think that once again. 

31DC2016 Day 7: Greek Marble

Last night I spent hours trying to decide on a design for today's "Inspired by black and white" prompt. I had lots of vague ideas but nothing solid enough for me to get started on one. I think the reason inspiration was evading me was because I had already come up with an idea- probably about a year ago. I've been waiting to do this just for the challenge and then totally forgot. I'm so glad I finally remembered!

31DC2016 Day 3: Honey Bee Nails

Hey ladies! Day three of the 31 Day Challenge and I'm so excited about this mani! This is one of the only designs I've had planned out for the month. It may look familiar because I was inspired by this bee mani from Chalkboard Nails, one of my all time favorites of hers. I've been wanting to recreate it ever since and now seemed like the perfect time. It may have something to do with these beautiful black eyed susans (?) in my yard that match so well!

ABC Challenge: M is for Mermaid

Happy Friday ladies! You know what that means.. ABC Challenge day! Today's prompt is the letter "M", we're halfway through the alphabet already! If you still want to join in the fun, there's no time like the present. Read all the info you need right here.

ABC Challenge: I is for Ice Cream

Hello my lovely society sisters! I am so excited for today's ABC Challenge! First off, thank you to those on Instagram who helped me choose my theme! I originally planned on an Independence Day design because the timing was perfect. Then I remembered this ice cream design I've been wanting to do. I kept going back and forth and just couldn't make up my mind on my own. The votes went in favor of ice cream, so there you have it!

What's Up Nails Vinyl Stencils and Stickers Review

*provided for honest review

Hello everyone! How's your weekend shaping up so far? For today's post I have reviewed some What's Up Nails products, specifically their nail vinyl stencils and stickers. I had previously only tried their X-pattern stencil design (here and a modified version here), which I loved. So when the offer was extended to try some more designs for review I was all over that. I've done two different looks in this post. Read on to check them out!

Blue Cirque Reciprocal Gradient

Hello everyone! Today I have some quick nail art for you. For this mani I had the idea in mind to do a vertical reciprocal gradient using  X pattern stencils. I tried it on my other hand first and realized you couldn't really tell what was going on at all. So I tried a different approach, clipping off some of the Xs. I'm still not sure if it would have been better to remove some of the vinyl from the sides instead of the top. I guess I should have done more experimenting first. But the way that I went with made a big enough difference that I liked how it turned out. I hope you do too!

Moo Moo's Signatures Skittlette

*purchased by me

Hey hey ladies! I have a simple nail art post for you today! It's a pretty, not-quite-Spring but not-quite-Winter combination that I am loving right now. I had been lusting after this complex gray shade- Moo Moo's Signatures Molly Moo- and was so excited to get my hands on it. When I finally got around to purchasing it I decided to snatch up these two pastel shade as well.
