21st Birthday Mani!

Woohoo, it's my birthday! I figured I would spice my mani up a bit and do a cupcake nail. Now I'm not that great at nail art and my clean up was a bit messy because I was in a rush. I think it turned up pretty cute though! If you can't tell from the title of the post, it's my 21st birthday! So it's party time tonight! Not really, I'm just going out with to eat with friends,but regardless I think it's going to be fun! I bet you can't guess what brand I used for this mani? If you guessed Zoya, you are correct! I seriously can't get enough of the Zoya Beach & Surf collection, and I have a slight love affair with Zoya anyway. I'm pretty sure it's my favorite brand. Sorry if you guys have been Zoya-ed out! I used Zoya- Rory with just a tiny bit of Zoya- Shelby and Essie- Marshmallow on my cupcake.

Amy's Nail Boutique- Cotton Candy

Today I have another matte glitter to fuel your obsession! It's a layering combo with Cotton Candy from Amy's Nail Boutique. That gal Amy sure makes some pretty polishes! I'm not sure if both glitters in this polish are matte or if the blue is regular and the pink is matte. I can't quite tell, but it's a simple yet pretty polish. I'm sure I've said it before, I'm not to keen on glitters I have to layer. I generally like glitters that will eventually become opaque. For matte glitter, I can make an exception! I was originally going to layer Cotton Candy over Zoya- Dove but went with Zoya- Kristen instead. I'm saving Dove for another matte glitter combo. Zoya- Kristen is a pale grayish-blue, and as with most cremes from Zoya, was opaque and smooth in two coats. Kristen went more blue on me which is what I had hoped for. I also did two coats of Cotton Candy and ended with a nice amount of glitter on the nail. I feel like this is a really girly mani without being pink, flashy and in your face. Picture time!

Super pretty, no? I'm really excited because my next post is going to be my 21st birthday mani!! I was going to do that mani tonight but we have a little girls birthday party tomorrow at work, and like I've said, my job is a mani killer! For those of you wondering, I work at Lush Cosmetics. I figured I should mention that sense I mention my job in posts all the time :) I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far! Has any one tried any of Amy's polishes yet? 


I died when I saw this so I though I would share. It's necessary to sing it like the song :D

Essie- Mojito Madness With Stripes!

Boy, oh boy, I sure love me some green polish! I saw this pretty baby at Walgreens and just had to pick it up. I'm not on a no buy or anything..... ;)

I knew before I put Mojito Madness on that I was going to love it. I also knew I wanted to add some type of design. I had yet to try out my striping tape I ordered so I pulled it out and this was the end result! I call this design, "American Eagle Chic" LOL! Doesn't it look like a polo shirt you would get from American Eagle!? I love it regardless, and I was very happy with the application of Mojito Madness. It has perfect two coat coverage. As for it being my first time using striping tape, it was fairly easy. I did my two coats of Mojito Madness topped with a coat of Poshe, laid down the tape, applied a thick layer of OPI- No Room For The Blues, pulled off the tape, LET IT DRY (very important or it will smudge when you apply your top coat), laid down the silver stripe and applied a second coat of Poshe. And that my friends, is how you can achieve your "American Eagle Chic"mani at home! On to the pictures!

WOOOOOOO! I am currently 11 followers away from 100! Seriously, you guys have no idea how excited I am to do my giveaway!!!! Have you guys ventured into the world of striping tape?

BTW, did any of you watch the Pretty Little Liars season premier? What did ya think???

Lush Lacquer- Spring Fling

How's everyones weekend going so far? I of course have another indie to show you today! It's Spring Fling from Lush Lacquer on Etsy. Now I'm not sure how I feel about this polish. I mean it's pretty, but it isn't what I expected. On me it turns into this peachy-pink but in their swatches it shows up as a true pink and it states that it is a "mauve-pink". I'm sure the peachiness comes from it's golden shimmer, which like I said is very pretty, but on my skin tone it's...blah. I'm also sad that the a majority of the hex glitter is stuck to the side of the bottle. Spring Fling is opaque at two coats but I did three because I wasn't happy with the amount of hex glitters on my nails. I'm super excited for some of their new polishes they released earlier this week! I'm on a June no buy though so maybe if I'm lucky i'll receive some from the wonderful ladies in my birthday group ;) Or maybe i'll buy some as a birthday present to myself seeing as how I turn 21 on the 11th, woohoo party time!!! Anywho, on to the pictures!

Three coats of Lush Lacquer- Spring Fling
One coat of Gelous
One coat of Poshe




Have you guys tired any Lush Lacquer polishes yet? I have about 14 followers to go till I can do my 100 follower giveaway! It would be so awesome if I can hit 100 by my birthday! I'm almost to excited for the giveaway to wait, it's gonna be awesome!!!
