Press Sample Saturday I came home from work to find the Zoya Satins collection waiting on my coffee table! (Read: I stalked the tracking for a week and had my mom stay home to make sure I got it this past weekend.) But anyway, let's not get off track.
Last night I came up with the idea to do a wavy neutral rainbow
Fun right?

A little over a week ago I sent out this tweet to see what were the best vinyls, but with minimal feedback I went searching on Etsy. Boy oh boy was I pleased with what I found!
Around the same time I got the Satins, my order for these nail vinyls were in my mailbox. Umm hello? Nail fate!

I started  by laying down my vinyls and painting half each nail a different color to create an cool two-tone effect.

My thumb is Rowan & Ana, my index is Ana & Brittany, my middle is Brittany & Leah, my ring is Leah & Tove, and finally, my pinky is Tove & Sage.

Overall all the formula was okay; the shade I had the most issue with was Ana and I definitely recommend thin coats.
I did have a small issue with streaks so once I removed the vinyls I finished with a layer of satin finish top coat that I got a couple of years ago.

Purchased by Me Earlier this week I finally took the plunge and went full on stiletto. After having square nails for a decade, and transitioning in the almond stage for about a week, I finally filled my nails into pointy stilettos.


Monday night the Mr. & I finally got the time to celebrate Valentine's Day. he took me out to dinner, then the movies (About Last Night is pretty funny by the way), and afterwards he turned to me and said, "hurry up before Sephora closes." After being together for the better part of a decade, he's becoming pretty good at surprising me and I've done a pretty good at grooming him to feeding my addiction buy me nail polish. Anyway, I picked out Formula X Seismic and here we are.
Seismic is such a great shade of orange with a subtle shimmer. but the formula itself isn't the greatest. It's streaky, it drags, and doesn't self level. For $10.50 I expect better and would definitely skip out on this guy and try to find a dupe somewhere.

You're probably wondering what glitter topper I'm wearing. Well , that would be Ooh La Lacquer Pixlexia. I bought it on Etsy a few weeks back and pretty much fell in love with the square blue, pink, green, silver holographic glitters. And for $4 why the heck not?



Yay for my new stiletto nails! Can't wait until they grow out! Happy Weekend!
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

Press Sample Okay, so this post wasn't technically posted on Wednesday but it's only 1am and I haven't been to bed yet. That has to count for something right? #LateNightBlogSesh!!

Anyway, all procrastinating aside, I recently got some interesting nail art stickers from Sticky Nails on Etsy and felt like nail artin' it up in this bitch. Here's the end result!


Sticky Nails has five different sticky nail art stencils to choose from, the particular pattern I used is the chevron design.

I didn't want to do the typical  chevron mani so decided to get creative with the different sizes on the sheet and then freehand some checker print and stripes.

And if you have long nails like me these will fit with no problem!



Iona advises that you let your base color dry completely before you place the stickers on your nail bed. To speed up the process I used Dazzle Dry Top Coat over my white base.

With all the the elusiveness surrounding Connect the Dots (and every other Lynnderella polish for that matter). I've decided to take my search elsewhere. And that's how I found All That Glitters Etsy Shop!!
