[Sweet] Tart




Pretty & Polished Tart

This is another one of the polishes I picked up from Pretty & Polished. I used two coats, topped with two coats of Seche Vite. I don't think the base color looks too awesome on me, but I love the mixture of glitters suspended in the milky pink-ish purple base! I don't think I could stress how pretty this glitter polish is, so I'll let my pictures do the talking for this one (:

Your Royal Pinkness




Orly It's Not Me, It's You + Wet n Wild Jewels For Your Highness

I managed to find the Wet n Wild Be Jeweled collection at Rite Aid, and I decided to pick up the ones that were left because I heard that some of them were dupes for the China Glaze Prismatic Chroma Glitters collection. I wasn't really feeling the China Glaze collection to begin with, but since the Wet n Wild ones are a fraction of the price, I figured it wouldn't hurt trying them out. I love layering my polishes, and I thought the glitters would make a great addition to my arsenal of layering lacquers!

The one I have to show you guys today is Jewels For Your Highness. I really liked the glowy fuschia glitter, and thought it'd be great paired up with a pink! I wasn't expecting much, but I really loved how it turned out--it's so glowy! The shimmer seemed to transform the base color into a cooler, blue-toned pink, and the multicolored glitter speckles look really cute up close :D

If you have both these polishes (or something similar), I definitely recommend trying out the combo for yourself! It was so hard to capture this combo, so I feel like my pictures don't do it justice!

Purp-eal






PA Nail Color A72 + Milani Jewel FX Lavender

Just a random combo I came up with, because I thought the colors would look awesome together :D
Yeah or naw?

Guest Post on L'Iconoclaste


I know it's been a while since I've done a nail design... it's been really hard finding time to unleash my creativity so I've just been layering a lot recently. I really want to get back to doing some more sneaker match-ups soon, but for the time being, I wanted to share with you some tribal nails I did as a guest post for L'Iconoclaste! Feel free to hit the image above or click here to check it out (:

Indie Train




Etude House VIP Girl BL505 + Pretty & Polished Hello Dolly

Yep, I jumped aboard the indie polish train with my first purchase being from Pretty and Polished! I totally love all the ones I picked up, but I just have one to show you today. You can get a glimpse of how pretty Hello Dolly is in the bottle. It's composed of white, pink, lavender, and holographic glitters of mixed sizes and shapes. I'm dying to layer this over a pale/pastel pink next!

Car Feature: Crystallized Hybrid














This Lexus CT 200h was a huge hit at Motion Auto Show (especially with the ladies!) so I thought it deserved a post of its own.

Meet Goose! The owner Matt named this car after the flying creature because of its white paint job. There's no crazy paintjob on this ride (just the stock white), but this whip is set apart by the real Swarovski crystal accents! Matt meticulously decked out his ride using double stick tape. Surprisingly, none of them have fallen off, even though drives this car and has washed it several times!

I'm not a fan of the VIP style or hybrid cars, but this one really takes the cake. Props to Matt on outshining them all (:
