Mani Muse Monday

I don't know if you've noticed the little picture on the side of the blog but it's for Mani Muse Monday.



What this entails is you pick a muse, then do a manicure inspired by it! I thought it would be a fun thing for other bloggers, nail polish lovers and anyone else to join in on. I have an inlinkz code set up (hopefully it works) and you can grab it here.

On to my mani muse Monday manicure. I chose an adorable gift bag a friend gave me. I loved the teal color, the pops of red and the polka dots on the bag.

For my nails I used China Glaze For Audrey as a base on all of them. Then I stamped my middle finger with China Glaze Snap My Dragon from Pueen Plate 22. For my ring finger I did a gradient with Shimmer Polish Jasmine. On my index and pink I used China Glaze Dandy Lion Around for the dots.




I had a lot of fun doing my first Mani Muse Monday. I hope you join in on the fun next week!

Pink to Black Gradient Nails

Hey, how's it goin? I have some pink and black nails to show you. I was contacted by Refinery29 to enter their nail art contest early on Instagram (you can follow me here) and these are what I came up with. I used China Glaze Escaping Reality and Orly Liquid Vinyl.

What do you all think? I wanted something edgy but clean at the same time. The lines remind me of an old Adidas shirt I used to have. A little throw back to the 80's!

Shimmer Swatches and Review

*PR SAMPLE*


Hi there!  I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks.  Life has been busy and great! I have some more beautiful polishes to show you today from Shimmer Polish. I love her polishes and they apply beautifully! All the swatches below are with one coat of Shimmer Polish over a base color with a top coat of Seche Vite.

First up is Candace.  Candace is gold and iridescent glitter set in a clear base.  I layered this over OPI Russian Navy.

 




My favorite out of the bunch is Mary. Mary has red,  silver and glitter.  I layered this over China Glaze Snap My Dragon.









I think Natalie is a beautiful polish and perfect for someone who wants to wear glitter but not have it to flashy.  Natalie is dusty blue,  gold and copper glitter and I layered it over Essence Strawberry Creme.









Oh,  Irene!  I love Irene, lots of sparkle, great coverage and a beautiful polish.  This one is Champagne Silver.  I layered this over Sally Hansen Gilty Pleasure but you can wear this one on its own.






Jovie, I feel like a princess wearing this one! It's pink opal which I think is a great description. It's so soft,  shimmery and beautiful!  I layered this over China Glaze Pinkie Promise.





Whch ones are your favorites? You can purchase Shimmer Polish at her Etsy storeShimmyshimmer.com  and don't forget to like her Facebook page, she has a promo code on there for 20% off!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for reading!
