Born Pretty Store: 100pcs Set 1.2mm Gold Flat Round Studs Review

 Hey everyone! Hope all of you had a lovely weekend and holidays! Today I have another review from Born Pretty Store, a 100pcs Set 1.2mm gold flat round studs. They have tons of amazing inexpensive nail art tools and accessories. With tons of new arrivals every other week, especially studs, which is exciting to look through.
I can honestly say these are my favorite studs. They're absolutely perfect to use for that 3D look.  These studs are completely different from some of the regular studs being sold on their site. I couldn't wait to try them, especially with this design. So lets get to it:

Mani Swap: When Life Hands You Lemons...

  Hey everyone! I have an exciting post for you guys today. It has been a long time since I've done a mani swap, so it is an honor to do one with one of my favorite french bloggers Coraline from Cocos Nailss. She's super sweet and talented, I just love how her nail art design look on her nubbins.
I really had a hard time, choosing a design I wanted to recreate for the swap. I think I have a full list I've always wanted to do. I first choose this cute red and nude beige floral design. But I didn't like how they turned out, so I went for my second choose, her gorgeous lemon design.

Mani Swap + Day 14: Floral Nails

Hey everyone! Well I can honestly say these challenges are not easy to keep up. However, I am super excited for today's post, with the lovely and talented Paulina from Paulina Passions, if you don't who she is then you most be living in a bubble! She has tons of gorgeous designs, especially her florals...aaamaazing!
Definitely one of my top favorite bloggers, and I was beyond honored that she accepted to do a mani swap with me. Since she was also doing the 31 day challenge (and doing an amazing job), we both decided to do it for today, since the theme is non other: Florals. Very fitting for the floral master! :D

Floral L.O.V.E Nails

Hi everyone! Although we're so close to September I couldn't resist to post up some floral nails, I did a few weeks ago. These were inspired by the talented Danielle from @nailsbydaniellet. She has tons of beautiful nail art designs, you should definitely check her out. I really love how she can create her designs as a fellow nubbin (a person with short nails, in case you didn't know ;).
  When I first saw this design, I absolutely fell in love (literally haha!) It took awhile for me to figure out how created these. Those are the ones, I always seem captivated to do! If your interested in seeing a tutorial on these, let me know.

Mani Swap: Simple Nails

 **Nothing to Disclose**
Hello everyone! Happy Friday! Hopefully all of you, wonderful readers, have a lovely weekend!  I really don't have much planned but for sure will be spending time with my family. So for today's post,  I am really excited to show you guys a mani swap I did with the talented ladies, Daisy and Rathy from Petite Peinture. 
 
Well in this case it was just Rathy, who chose my vintage floral design I did last year for Revlon (originals on top and recreational on the bottom).  She did such a beautiful job, I honestly can't stop looking at them. They are definitely one to follow (social links on the bottom ;).

Summertime Nails

  Hey everyone! It's finally summer! Not as if I'm celebrating, it's actually my least favorite season, but it doesn't mean I can't do some themed nail art! I seriously enjoy looking at summer nails, they're always bright and fun to do. Beach themes, fruits, animals or even palm trees (which are very popular!)
While I was browsing online for some inspiration, I stumbled by this furniture place that had some reeaaally cute bean bags, that had an anchor and a turtle on it. How cute and summery!

Birthday Dotticure Cupcake Charm Nails

 Hey loves! Well I'm going to make this a quick post, since it's my BIRTHDAY!! :D Yesterday, I just received an awesome nail mail from my nail bestie Judy from @judyrox. She was soo sweet to sent me a few polishes from the brand called Kiko Nail Lacquer.
 Now for those of you who lives in Europe, you would recognize this brand. Unfortunately, they don't sell them here in the US, so I'm pretty excited to say I, finally, own Kiko Nail Lacquers. Just in time, for me to wear at least one of them for this special occasion.

Pink Florals for Spring!

 Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting for awhile, I've been occupied with so many things. So I finally have some blogging time and I am super excited for today's post. Therefore today's post, I am entering it in Julep's Spring Nail Art Competition, I was honored to be asked to participate. Of-course I accepted, so here's my Spring inspired nails.
 As I was looking through the web for the perfect inspiration, it was quite difficult to choose. So I've decided to be creative and make up one on my own. So this is what I came up with. I think you can say, I was in the mood for something simple and bright!

O' Christmas Trees

 Hello everyone! Hope all of you had wonderful weekend! I can't believe how close were are for Christmas, it's definitely been a quick. Anywho, I can honestly say that this holiday is definitely my favorite. There are so many nail art ideas and soo little time to do them. So I've been splitting most of my nail art on Instagram and Tumblr. 
Makes it easier for me to talk about the one's I've done already. So for today I have another wallpaper inspired nail art. I was browsing online again and saw this really cute wallpaper (or I believe it was a card...I don't know), however, I knew I had recreate it for my nails. So here they are:

Alphabet Nail Art Challenge: P for Pumpkins

Hello my lovely Readers! Ugh I am almost finished with my Alphabet Nail Art Challenge. Honestly I wanted to give up and create different nail art designs, but I will always go back to my "inspiration block". Now I am determined to finish the challenges no matter how long it takes. So here's my next Alphabet Nail Art Challenge: P for Pumpkins.
 I really loved this design. I was browsing online to find the perfect pumpkin nail art and sadly I couldn't find one, so I end up with this. I've even created a tutorial to share with you guys: Glam Express. So here they are:

Alphabet Nail Art Challenge: O for Owl

Hi Everyone! It's beginning to look like Christmas...well the malls and outlets are. I can't believe were in the first week of November, and all of the stores are coming out with Christmas decorations. Can't wait for Black Friday, all those sales! Well I was shopping the other day and saw these cute wrapping papers on display, so many Christmas inspirations. 
One particular wrapping paper caught my eye, which became my inspiration for my next Alphabet Nail Art Challenge: O for Owl. I loved the color combinations. Even the owl was cute. I just knew I had to do my nails on them. Here they are:

Happy Halloween!!

Hiya Everyone! Happy (early) Halloween!! I can not believe we're half way there towards the end of the year. October flew by incredibly fast! For today's post, I have my last Halloween nails...until next year!I for one really don't really like wearing costumes, so I've decided to do a mix'match theme on my nails. It was definitely hard to choose a design, so I've decided to to them all. 
These are just about my favorite Halloween designs this year. I for one don't mind creepy looking nails, since I love horror films. However, these are pretty cute and I enjoyed painting them. So here are my nails:

Alphabet Nail Art Challenge: M for Mosaic

Hey everyone! Guess is that time for another Alphabet Nail Art Challenge...M for Mosaic. I just love doing mosaic nails, don't you?! I've done many mosaic nails on my past nail art. However, this one is quite different. For one it's bordered and two I've always wanted to try my skull nail charm, I had for months now.
I really loved how it turned out. I've been brainstorming on how to create this mani, but it turned out more than I expected! Hopefully all of you as much as I did! It will be difficult for me when I will have to remove them. :( So here it is:

Alphabet Nail Art Challenge: K for Kitten

**Purchased by Me**
Hi everybody! Wow I'm so close to the end of this challenge, so bare with me! For today's post I have for you is another alphabet, K for kitten...well skeletal kitten. Since were in the month of Halloween, why not create another glow in the dark mani, obsessed! I have this really cute Halloween decoration, that I really love, which is a skeletal cat balloon.
Isn't he cute! So I thought to dedicate a mani on this cutie. I was really proud of myself on how far I came along in my artistry, not the best, but good enough. This has to be my favorite mani, I've done this year, so far & I hope you guys enjoy it to!
