Hello lovelies! If you follow me on Instagram you'll have seen me post most of these look already. I have six Hehe plates to share today, but more to come in the next few weeks.

Their designer is so creative! Let's take a look..

The Holo Hookup March 2019: London Calling

 *press sample

Hello my lovely Society Sisters! March's The Holo Hookup theme is "London Calling" and I think the polishes match it so well. Of course this is coming from someone who's never been to London or the UK, but I think I've watched enough British movies and tv shows to know ;). Also as someone who's from Seattle I think this could have worked with that city if you swapped the red shade with green. Real quick, if this post is full of mistakes please forgive my sleep deprived brain. My youngest two are sick and I am so out of it! This month the contributors are the three permanent indie brands- Cupcake Polish, Different Dimension, and Glisten & Glow- with guest brand 'Ard As Nails!

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.

UberChic Beauty Collection 26 and Bottoms Up Stamping Plates Review

*press sample

Hello lovelies! UberChic Beauty just launched their new website as well as a new Collection 26 and Bottoms Up single stamping plate. I found lots of images that I wanted to use as usual from the three plate collection. I kept it down to just four manis so that I could get them done in time for the launch. The Bottoms Up plate posed a little more of a challenge for me to figure out what images to use. The majority of them are alcohol and coffee themed, none of which I consume, so I had to get a little more creative. I'm pretty happy with the nail art I've created from these plates! Let's take a closer look..

UberChic Beauty Collection 22 and Got Chevron? 01 Stamping Plates Review

*press sample

Hello lovelies! I have some UberChic Beauty stamping plates to share with you today! There were so many images I loved in Collection 22 that I had to do two from each plate. The Got Chevron plate has some pretty good images too, but I was hoping to see just a couple more traditional chevron images from it. I kept each of these looks pretty simple so they're all totally recreate-able. 

Rainy Days With Zoya

*purchased by me

Hello lovelies! It's been a lazy week spent inside watching the rain, wind, and lightning storms. All this wet Spring weather has put me in some kind of mood, and I've found myself reaching for polishes that reflect that with moody shades. I pulled together these four Zoya polishes that seemed to be made for each other and created some rainy day nail art. Before we get to that I wanted to show them each off individually.

UberChic Beauty Got Chevron 02 Stamping Plate Review

*press sample

Hello lovelies! Today's post is short and sweet. I have just one stamping plate to share with you- the UberChic Beauty Got Chevron 02. The images I chose were giving me some trouble initially using my firm clear stamper. I decided to try my sticky and squishy stamper and that helped me get the images perfectly. I am really happy with both these looks and hope you enjoy..

My Favorite 16 posts in Four Years of Blogging

I started compiling this list a couple weeks ago but it's taken until now to finish it. My original plan was to do a list of my top eight post from the last four years. I browsed through all 590 post I've done so far and came up with over 50. I worked on whittling it down as much as possible and finally settled on my favorite 16 instead. Even that was next to impossible so I fudged a little with some "honorable mentions" at the end. I hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane!
