Stamped Flowers Using Julep Polishes!

April 15, 2014

Hey Ladies! Today I have a BornPrettyStore Image Plate Stamped mani used with Julep Polishes !

I know most of you are like wow Julep! No way!?

But yesyess it is true!

 They are wonderful for stamping.. I recently had a feeling they would work really well seeing as they have a very 'runny' formula. So I gave it a try & here's my end result.

Polishes used;

Julep - Maren (pink) for this I used two coats, You could go for three if your using it alone & don't want your nail tips to show. But since I was stamping over top I didn't think it would matter.

Julep - Elle (purple) this is the polish I used to stamp the image from my BornPrettyStore Plate. & as I hoped it worked wonderfully. Only problem is that since it is such a 'runny' polish you may need to scrape your Imagr Plate twice. But other than that no complaints !

& of course I used my BornPrettyStore Image Plate m64

Matte'd Geometric Nails !

April 12, 2014

Hello beautiful ladies! 

Today's Blue Mani is dedicated to NAAM which is the National Autistic Awareness Month! 

It may only be celebrated in the states but I wanted to show my awareness with a little design :)

I was inspired by a image on Google Images

But I don't know her name to give her proper credit.

I started out with a base & let it dry.

Then I layed a piece of tape down and applied a different color. Do the same to every nail & let dry.

Finally you add another piece of tape down wherever you'd like and apply your third color. Do this to every nail let dry & apply a matte or shiny top coat!

For this design I went matte for the finish to he apart of the Nail Polish Queens Community on G+ ! 

Hope you all likeee !

Polishes used; 

China Glaze - At Vase Value

Julep - Margaret

BornPrettyStore Stamping Plate & Polish

April 08th, 2014 

Hello everyone! Today's design is from a BornPrettyStore Image Plate w. BPS Stamping Polish

Over top of O.P.I's Miami Beet. 

I must say I love the end result! This color is a must have in anyones collection, its on of my favorites! But honestly girls I couldn't believe the difference Stamping Polish has over regular polish.. Boy am I ever impressed! So impressed I'm going to be doing alot more stamping from now on.

Yesterday morning I received my BornPrettyStore Stamping Polish, I got Black & White in a bundle for I believe $3 or $4 something. So I decided to try it out today on a BornPrettyStore Image Plate I got a while back and it's amazing! Especially for the price i definitely recommend it!

Julep's April Maven it Girl Box Swatches && Julep's Vanish

 So I woke up this morning to both of my recent Julep orders, which I was not expecting to get on the same day! Boy was I ever a happy girl!

 This month's 'It Girl' box by Julep included

Bailey - a beautiful blue that would be great for Nautical Nails, Flora - a beautiful shimmery purple, & Maren - a gorgeous shimmery pink.

I also added on Brigitte & Jet for $7.99 !

Veiw my swatches below!

 Then I received my 

Julep Vanish Cutile Remover & Softener

I went out on a lim on this bad boy and bought it mainly based on how many review it recieved. 

I didn't think I would ever buy something based on its reviews but I swear they were that good I just had to have it! So far I have used it three times within 2 days I think I'm going to use it 2 times daily till I see a major improvement then lower it to 2- 3 times a week.

&&& 

I will be giving this a separate review once I see more changes & improvements. So far I've noticed it does make my cuticles softer & removed some ofbthebdead cuticle skin!! So far so good !

Half n Half

April 04th, 2014 

Todays design is a Half n Half Mani.

Its so easy to do and can work with so many colors!

All you need is a base coat , your half coat & some scotch tape.

Apply your base color and let it dry.

Add sctoch tape down the middle of your nails.

& paint the half not covered with your top color.

Apply a topcoat & there you have it! 

A half n half mani !!

I love these colors together except the fact that the beige was such a thin polish I had to use 5 coats on each nail to make it appear as it did in the bottle & it was my first time using either polish and its halfway done! Never using that one again! 

But other than that one little problem I really love this mani and the colors ! Hope you all do too !!

Polishes used ;

Julep - Jennifer (beige)

Julep - Margret (light blue)

Another blogger inspired mani ! This one was by DramaQueenNails !

I really liked her idea of doing the strips with the leopard print & then adding a little bling ;)

Its a beautiful mani & really stands out which is always a plus for me !
