The End of Summer Nail Art & End of My Garden

End of Summer Flower Nails using Seche Calla Lilly and Born Pretty BPY36 Nail Decals Swatches

For our #CBBxManiMonday prompt this week, we chose the end of summer.  Pretty vague prompt which makes it even harder to decide what to do.  Which is how I got to Labour Day with no Mani Monday post ready.  But this morning I decided that with fall around the corner, I was giving up on […]

Alter Ego Nail Polish Base Coat & Top Coat Comparisons & Reviews

Alter Ego Nail Polish Base Coat and Top Coat Comparisons

Finding that perfect base and top coat is hard.  Especially when it can change by the brand of polish you pair with them too.  Lately, I am lucky to get polish to last more than 48 hours so am on the hunt for that perfect combo that will work with the majority of polishes.  So […]

Ciate Star Struck Swatches

Ciate Star Struck Nail Polish Swatches and Review
