Spring Into Fall!

Konnichiwa!

I hope you guys have had a great week! I'm so happy that Fall is coming despite it still feeling like the middle of Summer here in Florida. Fall has been my favorite season and I hate that we don't really 'get the season' here. However, that doesn't stop me from loving the colors and fashion trends.

I love doing colorful manis so even though it's soon to be Fall--I'm still stuck in Spring.

700 GFC Follower Giveaway!

Before I get onto the really good stuff, as per my usual routine, I have a sappy speech for you!

I'm sure many of you don't want to read anything and just want to get into entering, and that's fine. Just know that I thank you so much for your continuous support on my blog. I know I'm not the largest out there or even that popular, but to be where I am now is something I didn't think would happen a year ago. I'm sure most of us bloggers feel this way and this just sounds repetitive, but with every 100, 50, or even 10 new followers I get, I'm reminded of how far I've come and how happy I am doing what I do. I love getting such warm and reassuring comments from you guys. I know I've been slacking in replying and commenting back lately (I always try to answer questions, however) and I appreciate that you keep coming back and supporting me anyway! Without further ado, I thank you all so much. You are much more than just a number to me, you guys are reason I continue to blog.

Cellairis Case Inspired Manicure using Pomegranate Lacquer

Products in this post were provided to me for the purpose of this manicure.

This post contains affiliate links. See my Disclaimer for more information.

This manicure was inspired by an iPhone 5 case from Cellairis.

The base for this manicure is Fit For A Prince from Pomegranate Lacquer's Royal Fairy Tale Collection.

For the rhinestones, I used a wheel from eBay as well as the round rhinestone wheel from MASH.

(The smaller ones are MASH and the larger are the eBay rhinestones)

The base and top coat used is LVX's 3-in-1 Treatment.

To easily pick up and place the rhinestones, as you can see in the video, I used a wax pen from BornPrettyStore.

I hope you guys like this mani! It was really fun to do and I love how colorful it is. Unfortunately, as cute as this case is, I can't use it. Therefore it will be going into my giveaway stash! :)

Raindrop Inspired Nail Art with Watercolor Accent

This post contains product(s) provided to me by the company.

See my Disclaimer for more information.

For this mani, I used Essie Bikini So Teeny for the base on all nails. For the watercolor accent nail, I used LVX Callais, Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, and La Couleur Couture 1976. For the rhinestones, I used a nail art wheel from eBay (larger) and the MASH Rhinestone Wheel (smaller) for the "water drops".

I have a lot of swatches coming for you guys! I can't wait to share them with you but I didn't want to leave you with nothing during this busy time. I'm hoping to squeeze in an all watercolor mani in between swatching and maybe even make a video tutorial of it, I'd love make more use out of my YouTube account!

Kolt Polish Sponging ft. MASH plates

Today I have, what I think, is a fun and colorful mani using Kolt polishes and MASH nail art products.

For this stamping base, I used Kolt HD polishes in Power Blue and Pink LED, as well as Kolt Dual Chromes in Universe and Aurora Boreal over China Glaze Liquid Leather.

For the stamping, I used the MASH Silver Glitter stamping polish and the MASH-39 plate.

I'm still new to stamping so I'm not well experienced with it yet, however I've loved experimenting with these polishes and plates. The stamping polishes come off so opaque, giving a nice and full design. (When I don't mess it up!) I absolutely love the combination of colors and the stamping design together.

The Kolt polishes can be purchased from Harlow & Co. for $6-7 each.
You can find the MASH Silver Glitter stamping polish here as well as the stamping plate set here.

Rhinestone Heart Accent Nail

For this manicure, I used Lime Crime Parfait Day (which was so kindly given to me by Traci of drinkcitra!)

and rhinestones from MASH. The rhinestones come in a small compact wheel which turns easily to create an opening to your color of choice. I have another rhinestone wheel which is from eBay and I've always felt like it was unnecessarily big for the amount it held and it made it more difficult to retrieve the rhinestones. I've really enjoyed how compact and accessible this wheel is.

You can find this 2,400 piece rhinestone wheel here on www.mashnails.com for the price of $7.99 USD.

You can also find 1,200 piece rhinestone wheels for the price of 4.99-6.99 in various shapes such as moons, stars, butterflies, hearts, and tear drops.
