40 Great Nail Art Ideas: Films and Hehe Stamping Plate Review

Hi there! Today I am combining two posts because they go so well together. This is my second week participating in the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge. I was looking forward to this week's prompt- "film"- because I love movies and the possibilities are endless. I was also looking forward to sharing with you this awesome Hehe stamping plate that I was sent for review. If it's not obvious to you already, the film(s) I chose was the Harry Potter series. Can you see how the theme and this plate were made for each other? Accio awesome nail art!

Paint All The Nails Presents Pantone Color Of The Year

Hello lovelies! Today the ladies and I from Paint All The Nails are coming together once again for our monthly themed nail art linkup. Are you as excited as I am? Well let's get right to it! This month's theme is "Pantone Color Of The Year". This year there were actually two Pantone colors chosen. The colors are Rose Quartz and Serenity, otherwise know as pink and blue :P.

Pink Skittlette With UberChic

Great news guys! I have a new computer! A friend of ours built it for us, wasn't that so nice? Thanks dude (he's never going to read this)! Only thing is, I still need Photoshop installed, and an auxiliary camera card reader. So for now I will be showing you another post I've had saved up in my draft file. Why haven't I published it yet? Good question, I don't really know why. You can tell how long I've been hanging on to this though by looking at how GREEN the grass is in the background. All of my outside photos have white backgrounds now, haha.

piCture pOlish Blue Skittlette

*nothing to disclose

Happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend. I had a fun time with friends and family, it's a little sad that it's at an end. At least I'll have some keepsakes in the form of (what I know will be amazing) family photos taken by my very talented cousin. 

Back to the blog- I am still computerless. I have high hopes this will be remedied soon. In the meantime I have these photos that have luckily for me been sitting in my draft folder. Typing this out on my phone is limiting so again I will be brief. Today's nail art is a simple look created with three piCture pOlish shades and nail vinyls. PiCture pOlish makes some amazing blues and I wanted to show some of them off together. This was originally a possible entry for last year's PP Nail Art Quarterly. With some help from a friend, I chose to enter this look instead. This mani has been sitting by the wayside ever since. I still like how it turned out though and hope you do too!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas Challenge: 3 Shades Of Purple + Geometric

Hello everyone! I am excited about today's nail art because it is part of a challenge that I have just joined in on. This is my inaugural post for the Crumpet's Nail Tarts 40 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge. The idea behind the challenge is that everyone gets the same prompt (today's is "3 shades of purple") and then your assigned a more specific prompt out of the list of 40+ ideas (I was assigned "geometric". I like how structured it is, and yet there's still plenty of room for interpretation.

So I would like to tell you more about my mani and so on but this is proving to be a bit difficult at the moment. I woke up this morning and found my computer won't turn on! I made the unfortunate choice of leaving the writing until the morning. I'm just glad I was able to edit and include the photos last night! Anyway writing this on my phone is proving to be a challenge as I don't really use it much in the first place. So enjoy the pictures!

Colores de Carol 2016 Valentine Collection

*provided for honest review

Hello my dears! Today I have a collection that I have SO been looking forward to sharing with you! This is the Colores de Carol 2016 Valentine Collection, comprising of four polishses. At first glance it looked similar to last year's collection. Then you get a glimpse Single Lady, an unexpected sea foam green holo. The other outstanding difference to me is the inclusion of an oh-so-squishy pink creme/jelly. There's more, but I'll get to that in a moment.

Very Emily's Gradient Stamping

Hello my dears! Today I have an attempted recreation of a YouTube tutorial by Very Emily. Emily has recently started her own YouTube channel and I've had so much fun watching all of her videos. YouTube has never been a go-to place for me. I just don't spend that much time on it. But I have enjoyed watching Emily's videos and started to think that maybe I've been missing out. I really appreciate how simple, straightforward, and short they are. And of course, in case it needs mentioning, they are totally beautiful!
