The Essies 2017 Top Ten Finalist Nail Art Tutorial- Negative Space Ikat

Hello lovelies! I am so thrilled to share with you that I am one of the top ten finalist in The Essie 2017 nail art contest! Isn't that amazing?! I still can't believe it. My first entry was this Drag Marble Swirls video tutorial. For the next round of competition I was asked to create another nail art look using the Essie Spring 2017 Collection. I came up with this bold, negative space ikat design. Pretty eye catching, don't you think? I'm always a little afraid of trying negative space designs, but I think it works so perfectly here.

Nail Art Doodles With Essie (Brushing Up On Freehand Skills)

Hello my lovelies! It has been ages since I've done any freehand nail art. I've found that it's one of those skills that if you don't use it, you lose it. Not to say that I was in any way a master to begin with, but I could feel my abilities falling behind. So here's some nail art that I attempted with a detail brush. If it looks like I didn't have a plan going into it, that's because I didn't!

UberChic Beauty Love & Marriage 03 and Party Time Stamping Plates Review

Pretty & Polished Veil Collection Nail Art and Review

*provided for honest review

Hey everyone! Today I have a post that is WAY overdue. I will heartily admit that I struggled with this one. This was my first foray into thermal polish territory and I was slightly overwhelmed. The polishes I have to share with you are the Pretty & Polished Veil Collection. This is a six piece collection of thermal toppers that become transparent with heat. Sounds pretty cool, right? Well they are cool! I just had a learning curve with how to photograph and best show these off to get over. I've been holding on to this post going back and forth with whether I should just start over, but I've finally decided I just need to show this and I think you'll get the point!

Nicole Diary Water Decal Review

*provided for honest review

Hey everyone! Today I have for you a review of a new brand, Nicole Diary. You may have noticed that I recently did a nail art mani using one of their decals (here). I stuck with the one accent nail again, but this look has a bright tropical vibe.

*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.

Paint All The Nails Presents Dotticures

It's time again for another Paint All The Nails linkup! This time around we chose "dotticures" for our monthly theme. I've had an idea for a specific mani involving dots sitting around for months and months. I spent quite some time trying to think of a design for today, I can't believe it didn't come to me sooner.

Hello lovelies! Today I am sharing with you another UberChic Beauty stamping plate review! The theme for this new Uber Mini plate is Nautical, one of my favorite themes ever.

This plate is packed with a great mixture of pretty, fun, and adorable images. Let's sea (haha) what I came up with!

ABC Challenge: B is for Beach

Who's ready for week two of the ABC Challenge? I am! First off, I have to tell you how utterly annoyed I am at myself for forgetting something I had been planning on foreeeeever. Part of wanting to do the ABC Challenge was to do photos of hand poses in the American Sign Language alphabet (ASL interpreting is what I studied in college). I completely forgot to take photos for the first week, and only remembered after I removed my mani. Luckily I remember this time around, so here is the letter "B"! And it stands for...

Nautical Nails With Pahlish

Hello my dears! Today's nail art is joining the list of one of my favorites I've ever done!
