Megan Miller Review - Pink Lily & Foxy

I contacted the people behind Megan Miller polishes and the sent me these 2 lovelies to review. I cannot help but gush over how adorable their bottles are! I have yet to see any polish bottle that is as cute! The Nfu-Oh bottles are cute too, but these Megan Millers take the cake in my opinion. :) I love the cork handle and the feather accent.The cork handle surrounds a small plastic handle with the brush attached. No worries about the cork just...

Lady and the Tramp Nail Art

I have some more Disney nail art for your enjoyment! Lady and the Tramp has been highly requested and it's taken me a while to get inspired enough to actually do it. I couldn't make up my mind on how to do the other nails and background color, but I'm really happy with how they turned out.These were requested by Angelica, and 2 anonymous followers. Of course I had to feature the iconic spaghetti kiss scene. ;) Tutorial:I started with Essie Very...

Zoya - Dea

I bought this recently just because someone else had it listed on their favorites. I don't have a lot of browns in my stash so I thought it would serve a purpose even if it ended up not being my favorite. It's actually quite nice! It's a perfect milk chocolate color. :)Super easy 2 coats here.Side by side with Barielle Coco Bar (a true medium brown), you can see it's definitely not a dupe!I can't say that I know of many milk chocolate colored...

Drippy Cupcake Nail Art

So I did the nails of my coworker the other day. She's the one I helped design the cupcake nursery for. I told her she had to have pretty nail art for her baby shower, so she came over a few days ahead. Here's what we came up with. I don't remember what exact polishes I used. But you can learn how to make the cupcake accent nail by following my tutorial HERE. She ended up loving them and they lasted for something like 4 days before chipping. I'm...

Zoya True Collection

I got 4 of the six shades. So if you were looking for Cho or Tru, sorry but those are the 2 I didn't get. Here we go!FarahThis is 2 coats. It's the typical Zoya perfection that is an opaque cream finish. I wanted this because it resembled OPI Skull and Glossbones (fyi they are not exact dupes). I missed out on getting S&G and I kept seeing it pop up on bloggers favorites from 2011 lists. So this satisfies that need.BevinThis was also a perfect...

Barielle - Grape Escape (on shorties!)

I recently wore Grape Escape again, but after I shortened my nails a good bit. I prefer the look of my nails when they are short. But I get hung up in just changing polish and I don't think to file them unless something is uneven. So sometimes it gets away from me and I have crazy long nails that I didn't even realize and don't like! It's a 1 coater, but I used 2 thin coats here. Topped with Seche Vite. If you want to see the same polish...

WnW - I Need a Refresh-Mint

So Wet N Wild, now we're name stealers? What happened to originality? (China Glaze has a  Refresh Mint). I found this display of new WnW Megalasts that have a new bottle shape and a new brush. So I picked up the color that is most "me." It's a light teal color similar to ChG For Audrey, Orly Jaded, etc. I'll do up some comparison shots.It applied very easily and was opaque in 2 coats. Good formula.  These polishes have a new "ManiCurve...
