JINsoon X Barney's Swatches & Review

**Products Provided**

Hey everyone! For today's post, I have another fabulous review for JINsoon x Barney's New York collection. Since the last collection, Tila March, was the first time ever trying out JINsoon, I was completely convinced with their lacquers, especially their quality and colors.

 Even though within the collection there are two shades that are common, doesn't mean they're not so different. Especially, combined with a very unique glitter topper! ;) The collection is sold exclusively with Barney's and said "to express the modern and luxurious simplicity that both brands represent". So lets get to it:

JINsoon X Tila March Swatches & Review

**Products Provided**

Hi everyone! It's almost July and I can't believe how fast this year went...which means its also my soon to be 2 year blogniversary (hint hint possible giveaway!). On that note, for today's post I have some exciting nail mail I received last week, JINsoon x Tila March spring/summer collection. The collection consist of five vibrant cremes, and they are bright and beautiful.

The inspiration for this collection were based on Jin Soon Choi and designer Tamara Taichman of Tila March love of expensive hues. And of-course to showcase some of Tila March patent leather bags, sandals and JINsoon high gloss lacquers. So let get to it:

Springtime Lace Nails

**Products Provided**

Hello everyone! Springtime is here and what a better way to showcase this lovely season by creating something bright, lace and florals. The perfect combo, I say. Even though it snowed yesterday...I know!  A few weeks ago I reviewed some of Bonita Cosmetics Greetings Earthlings Collection (more photos and details here).

I was super excited to use theses pretty colors, as they are perfect for a gradient I planned to do. The formula and application is amazing, they're even perfect as a stamping polish (if your ever curious). This specific design is one I've wanted to do and had planned since last year, and I love created florals.

Chevron and Heart Nails

**Nothing to Disclose**

  Hey everyone! Valentines is almost near, and what a better way to start the week with some heart design, and of-course some chevrons. I for one do not think Valentines is for just couples, but a way to show love an affection for everyone else (friends, family etc). However, for me it's actually one my least favorite holidays lol...I see no point to it, but that's just me.

Either way, I find any excuse to create some heart designs! ;) I few weeks ago, I gifted myself by purchasing some KB Shimmer polishes, which believe it or not, one of my top favorite indie brands. I even was excited to use some chevron nail vinyls from Whats Up Nails (which btw is my new favorite store).

Born Pretty Store: 5pc Nail Art Bushes

**Products Provided**

Hello everyone! For today's post, I have a 5pcs nail art brush set review, from Born Pretty Store. They have tons of amazing inexpensive nail art tools and accessories. With tons of new arrivals every other week, which is exciting to look through! A few weeks ago I received these assorted brushes, and was anxious to work with them. Like nail polishes, I tend to collect tons of nail art brushes; for nail art or for a canvas.

There's no need to buy really expensive brushes, because ideally they are best quality. That's never the case, most of all, it only depends where you purchase them. I truly believe Born Pretty Store carry really good brushes, especially for those who are looking for sets (beginners and advanced). The sets consist of  3 detail brushes, 1 stripping brush and a flat brush, in a sealed package.

Have noticed all my stamping designs?! I for one love a freehand design, however, sometime you just have those lazy days, and those are mostly for stamping. But how can I not resist to take the chance to try them, especially for those quick and easy nail art.

ncLA: Holiday Duo Set Rock 'N' Royalty + Nail Art

**Nothing to Disclose**

Hey everyone! After a few days of taking a bit of a rest from blogging, today I have a few swatches and Valentines Days nail art design, for the first day of February. Last year, in December, I was super excited to win my very first giveaway from @nananailpolish; a set of ncLA Holiday Duo Set: Rock 'n' Royalty.

I can remember the first time, two years ago, when I heard about this brand, and purchased my first polish from them called Poolside Party. Which is a fun peach creme, perfect for the summer.
So I was extremely excited to get this set since I've eyed them for a while.

Rebel Houndstooth

**Nothing to Disclose**

Hey everyone! A few days ago I was invited to participate, on instagram, for a birthday collage for Marii from @nailistayco, birthday. I love participating on these collabs, they just make the persons day when they see one of their designs recreated on their special day.

Luckily I purchased the same kit, and was dieing to use it. One of the designs, I was very excited to recreate, was her houndstooth design she used with Orly Rebel Chic Kit. I thought it looked amazing, even including how it was suppose to be for Halloween. This was such a fun and easy kit to use.

Hey Everyone! Who out there, on the tri-state area, is ready for this Blizzard?! I know I'm not lol! So for today's post I have a super fun lace stamping nail art design. A few days ago I received this lace pattern stamping plate Born Pretty Store. They have tons of amazing inexpensive nail art tools and accessories. Especially, new arrivals every other week, which is exciting to look through!  

Lately I've been eying on their selection of new stamping plates. I tend to pick them, mostly out of curiosity! Normally, I prefer to do my designs free-handed. But how can I not resist to take the chance to try them, especially for those quick and easy nail art.

The plate I chose is the 10 stamping plate circular shape, with 1 large  designs and a few smaller seashell patterns, each perfectly different to use. I was surprised how difficult it was to choose a specific design to do. I choose the large pattern, which I took advantage of coloring in.

Rosa Nails

Hi everyone! Yesterday I reviewed Deborah Lippmann new Spring 2015 Collection (review post here). I absolutely love the colors all together I had the perfect design to create with them. One of my favorite shades on the collection is Like Dreamers Do. Its one of those greyish nude-like shades I would definitely recommend to have in a nail polish stash.

Since I love this shade so much, I know a bright and colorful floral print would look perfect, especially with the special holiday coming up. For this look I was inspired by one of my favorite websites, especially for major inspiration, Rifle Paper floral print.

Pacifica: Holiday Trio In Reds & Heart of Gold Swatches & Review

**Products Provided**

Hey everyone! Recently I received a wonderful nail mail from a new to me brand called Pacifica. I honestly never heard or even tried this brand before, but apparently my sister did. I don't even know how I missed it, she's more a fashionista than a polish addict like me haha. I was completely captivated by their beautiful colors! Perfect gifts sets for the holidays!

 

Pacifica Beauty not only sells amazing nail polish's, but many other beauty products. All of their products are gluten-free, 100% vegan and cruelty free. Which is not easy to find these days, especially when your finding 7- free formulated polishes! ;) For today's post, I have their Holiday Trio in Holiday Reds and Heart of Gold. So lets get to it:

For today's post, I have for you all my second part of Bonita Salon Colorful Palette The Artist Collection. These are much brighter, close enough as pastel shades.

I truly love this collection. It speaks to me since I used to intern in the Metropolitan Museum in New York and for my love of art! Each of the polishes are named after one famous artist or one of their works. Which is pretty cool! I will be splitting up the post, not to overwhelm you guys with tons of photos ;).

Pretty Woman: Seashell Kit Review + Nail Art

**Products Provided**

 Hello everyone! Although summer is at it's end,  I wanted to take the chance to create a last 'hooray' to summer using Pretty Woman Seashells kit. Now I never...curious...but never used any assorted crusted seashells for nail art, I just wouldn't know what design to do. So that actually was the result in what happened. I just didn't know what to do!  

So while I was browsing online for some ideas, I remembered one of my favorite nail artists Emun from Nail Polish Distraction on Tumblr. She creates many unique and absolutely perfect nail art designs, especially these seashells.  Finally having my inspiration, I opted to do just one of her designs. 

Glittery Tribal Nails

 **Products Provided**

Hey everyone! I don't about you guys, but I just couldn't help recreate this popular design I've been saying on all of the social medias.  Just the other day I swatched and reviewed Pretty Woman nail lacquer. As part of their 'Back to School' launch they will be having on all of their social media, tomorrow Monday August 25th. It's such a glittery and girlier design. 

 For quite some time, I've wanted to try out this design. Although I did first see it on instagram by @rachell_rachell, in which she created a fabulous tutorial. Every since then it has been on my to do list. So what a better way do it with this amazing texture polish from Pretty Woman.

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 ;).
