Sinful Colors Copper Pot

Sinful Colors is one of those polish brands that always seems to find it's way in my shopping cart when I am at the grocery store. It is really affordable and offers a ton of colors to choose from. In my most recent purchase, I picked up Copper Pot. It looked so bright and glowy from the bottle, I knew I had to have it!

Julep Kimberly

I'm doing a bad thing. I am sharing something that is unavailable, yet again. I am so sorry! I am trying to get my polish organized and I am discovering polishes I may have worn but never shared on my blog. So, today I have Julep Kimberly. I think I got this around a year ago, but it was definitely in the spring time. This is a lavender purple with black speckles that remind me of a robin's egg! I know robin's eggs are blue, but same concept, right?

Swirly Nail Art

I have a swirly design to share with you today. It looks like a water marble, but it involves no water! I saw this technique posted by MelyneNailArt on Instagram and I loved it! I immediately wanted to try it out. I grabbed some of my favorite colors from Color Club and went at it! Melyne uses an interesting and messy technique that just drops wet polish on top of wet polish drops. What you end up with is somewhat difficult to control, but I love the effect.

Black and Red Collaboration When Colours Collide

I just a have a quick post to share with you today. I was able to participate in a group collaboration with the theme of black and red.  I've been wanting to do a black and red gradient for a while, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity.

Side French Nail Art

Press Sample


I have a clean and simple nail art design for you today. I think we all are aware of the classic french manicure, but I wanted to switch it up a bit. It is so simple, but adds a bit of interest to a mani. I started out with a nude color and added some holographic blue. The polishes I used in this design are Rimmel London Caramel Cupcake, which is one of my favorite nudes. It dries really quick and almost creates the look of mannequin nails with my skin tone. After I painted two coats of Caramel Cupcake, I placed a french tip nail vinyl on the side of my nail and added Cirque Colors Royal Hawaiian from last year's Juicy Collection. I love that collection so much, it is so vibrant! I knew Royal Hawaiian would look great paired with a nude.
