Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July to everyone! I have a fun American flag nail design to share with you.



I thought this design would be easy, but the red and white stripes gave me some trouble and they aren't as straight as I had hoped. Maybe it's a waving American flag? ;)

I'm gonna leave you with this awesome +Pepsi display I saw at the store. Nothing says America better than an awesome Pepsi product display!



Have a fun and safe 4th everyone!

Polish Information  Kleancolor: Cobalt (09) 
Kleancolor: Red (08)
Sinful Colors: Snow Me White
Wet n Wild: The Star of the Show

Day Six - Doticure

I've worked the early shift the last two days which lead to me getting a little behind on the Valentine challenge. As promised, I'm gonna complete this challenge. The sixth day was dots. I liked this theme because who doesn't love a nice dot manicure?














I love this simple elegance of this look. Even when using black, you still know it's a Valentine manicure. I'm so glad I'm doing this challenge and am looking forward to catching back up with the rest of the girls. Be sure to check out their hard work!


Colors Used
Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
Wet n Wild - Black Creme
Kleancolor - Light Red (79)

Day One - Red or Pink

I'm very excited to take part in datyorkLOVES Valentine Nail Art Challenge. I've started one challenge before, but sadly never finished it. This time is different and I will be completing this challenge! 

Red or pink? Heck lets do both! So I did. Right away I thought of doing roses after seeing Chelsea's amazing post on Get Nailed. I haven't done nail art in awhile since I've happily been swatching my new a-england and Zoya polishes, so it was really great to change things up.


























Here are all the colors I used for this manicure:




I'm so pleased with how this turned out. This look is so feminine and delicate. It's a great way to start out a fun challenge. I'd like to thank datyorkLOVES for sharing this and I can't wait to see what others come up with. Will you be participating?

SoFlaJo Party Time Nail Polish Collection

I am so excited to share this indie polish with everyone. Back in December I was lucky enough to win day 15 of Holly Jolly Holiday Advent Giveaway. My prize was SoFlaJo Party Time Nail Polish Collection. SoFlaJo is run by an incredibly sweet woman named Jody. As busy as running a blog can be, Jody is also a personal trainer and a lacquer mixing wizard! Her shop has a great array of fun and unique polishes, and I'm ecstatic to share these with you:




Blue-Ray is a marvelous blue shimmer. It has a subtle matte finish before a topcoat. The shimmer is so pretty with hints of light blue, white and purple. This is three coats plus top coat. Blue-Ray is my second favorite in this collection.


Ballroom is a dusty red that turns to a warm gold when moving your hands in the light. Smooth application. This is three coats plus a top coat. 

Last to Leave is a light sea foam green with a grand shimmer that reflect wonderfully in the light. Normally I'm not a fan of how green looks with my skin tone, but I loved this color. This is three coats plus a top coat


Hidden Gem is a steel blue that leans towards a slate gray color. Scattered holographic glitter completely pops along side the vibrant blue and green flecks. Easy application this is three coats plus a top coat. Hidden Gem is hands down my favorite in the Party Time Collection


Red Carpet is a warmer dusty red than Ballroom. This matte polish was easy to apply and fully opaque in three coats. The finish has a slight grittiness before the top coat which I liked. I reminds me of the new sand polishes coming out.


Yule Tidings is a fun mixture of Christmas color glitters in an olive green base. Filled with large mirrored hexagon glitters, along with smaller dark green, red, and rainbow round shaped glitters. I love a polish that requires no fishing to retrieve the hexagon glitters. I easily applied Yule Tidings to my nails and got the hexagon glitters with out trying. Sadly Yule Tidings was limited edition and no longer available.


Ice Dancer is a holographic topcoat with a brilliant combination of blue, silver and brown glitters. Ice Dancer is wonderful all by itself or adds a dazzling shimmer to your favorite polish. Alone Ice Dancer is fully opaque in 3-4 coats. 


 L-R Silver with Ice Dancer(1 coat), Black with Ice Dancer(1 coat), Blue-Ray with Ice Dancer(1 coat), Ice Dancer (3 coats)




Over all, I'm a total fan of SoFlaJo's lacquers. Unique and vibrant along with a rich formula these polishes are a hit. All of these polishes, minus Yule Tidings, sell for $10 for the .5oz/15ml size or $5 for the 5ml size. You can buy SoFlaJo's polishes in her SoFlaJo's Website Shop or her Etsy Shop.

Note: Jody is in the process of changing her labels and will be discounting many of the current polishes in her shop that have the old labels on them. Normally $10, the ones that she has left with old labels will be $7. Stock is limited on many of them, and not all of them are included. There are some mini sets included! Complete sets in mini and full size have discounted shipping prices.

Candy Cane Nails with Ciaté Enchanted Rose

Christmas is just days away, and that gives me a chance to step out of my comfort zone. I rarely wear red, but was immediately drawn to an exclusive red glitter from Ciaté's Mini Mani Month advent calendar. Hidden behind advent door number 8 lies Enchanted Rose.

Enchanted Rose is a gorgeous and alluring red glitter in a clear base. It has a marvelous sparkle and shimmer. It's a glitter that I found myself staring at when ever I could. In dim lighting enchanted rose was great but in full sun, it truly turns into a showstopper. This is two coats of Enchanted Rose over Ciaté's Dangerous Affair plus top coat.























As mentioned Enchanted Rose is an exclusive color to the advent calender, and in my opinion,  a fun treat for any nail polish enthusiast. You can buy the calender from Ciaté for $58.
