Essie Spring 2018 Collection

*press sample

Hello friends! I am so pleased to share the Essie Spring 2018 collection with you! The collection has a nautical theme and I think the color palette reflects that for the most part. I have a real soft spot for anything nautical so my heart was already in it before I even tried them on. The best part is that the formulas were all fantasic- really smooth, with nice opacity, and I didn't have any issues with application. Let's get right to it..

UberChic Beauty Nautical Mini Stamping Plate Review

*provided for honest review

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. If I could have my whole house nautical I would! For now though all the nautical things are going on my nails, and I'm loving it. This plate is packed with a great mixture of pretty, fun, and adorable images. Let's sea (haha) what I came up with!

Nautical Nails With Pahlish

Hello my dears! Today's nail art is joining the list of one of my favorites I've ever done! I did it at the same time as my Delicate Dry Marble With Pahlish nails I shared last month, using the same technique. I've been sitting on these photos waiting for the right time, and I can't wait any longer! 

OMD2 Challenge Day 25- Roses

Many of you may recognize this mani as a recreation of Paulina Passion's Nautical Rose Nails. She did them back in February, and they're still one of my favorites of hers. I fell in love the instant I saw them. I've been wanting to try them ever since. I don't typically copycat manis so closely. But with this one I wanted to get as close to original design as I could manage.

My Yacht Is Yar

I loved this look even more than I thought I would! White nails have always made me think of junior high when kids used to paint their nails with Wite-Out. Now I love the crisp clean look. It makes me want to wear white linen pants. In reality I have a rule against white pants. I'm too messy and I know I would just end up with chocolate on my butt.

 I began with two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. Once that was completely dry I used striping tape to mask off the nail,  and then painted the space with OPI Dating a Royal.

The next day I tried it with a matte top coat and I think I like it even more. Unfortunately some of the blue smeared, but I'm wondering if that's because I didn't put a top coat over the blue.

I have the feeling I will be sporting the white nails again in the near-ish future.
