Valentine's Day Hearts | Zoya Everly

Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Do you celebrate? My husband and I like to have a nice dinner out, but we usually try for sometime during February. The date isn't super important :)

Today, I have a quick and sweet Valentine's Day theme manicure that I did.

I used Zoya Everly from the new Winter Holos collection for my base. After applying top coat and letting it fully dry, I used heart decals and Zoya Isla to complete my accent nail.

Everly has that formula that Zoya has in all their holographics. It went on easily in two coats and was easy to remove.

Mother's Day Nail Art: Holographic Gradient

I hope you had a good Mother's Day yesterday, whether you're a mom or a mom like figure or have a mom or mom like figure in your life.

For today's manicure, I did a super simple holographic gradient.

A few years ago, I had a custom polish made with Daily Hues Nail Lacquer (now closed). I had a bottle made for my mom and I. My mom adores holographic polish so of course that was the finish of the custom polish. The maker and I decided on the super cute name Mom! You're Grape! to go with the color of the polish.

I combined the custom polish with Cupcake Polish Look at You Go-Go.

Green Mani March: Day 1

So it's been over 3 years since I have posted to this blog. But I've decided to return! I enjoy sharing my nail art and have enjoyed posting to my blog in the past. I'm really hoping to make this a regular thing again.

For my first post back, I'm starting a new series! I'm not sure if I've talked about it here in the past, but I absolutely love green nail polish. It's one of my favorite colors to wear, and I own quite a few shades in various finishes. Not as many as some though :) I tend toward minimalism a bit so I try to keep my collection down.

Since I love green polish and March makes me think of green with St. Patrick's day and spring, I'll be focusing on my love of green polishes this month.

This first mani uses OPI Don't Mess with OPI and Cupcake Polish Delishiously Jaded.

OPI Don't Mess with OPI is a pretty old polish and is from the 2011 Texas Collection. You could use another green creme polish if you wanted.

Cupcake Polish Delishiously Jaded is a gorgeous holographic green polish. It almost covered in one coat too! It also apparently has a blue shift, but I was blinded by the holo.

I used both of these to create this simple mani. The half moon element was freehanded.

If you're reading this, I welcome you back to my blog! I've still been lurking around Facebook and Instagram. I'd also love links to new blogs you think I should follow!

NOPI Khloe Had A Lam-Lam skittle mani

One of my favorite polishes of all time is Nicole by OPI Khloe Had A Lam-Lam. I'm not a huge Kardashian fan, but this darkened teal color is so great. I'm almost 1/2 way through one bottle so I'm gonna have to find another soon.

For today's mani, I added a holo topper of Hits Hefesto (the original!) then stamped using Konad Black and Bundle Monster BM305.

St Patrick's Day: water marble and holo goodness

Here's another St. Patrick's Day mani that I did. It's also my last one so it's fitting that I'm showing you today.

I continued with my "theme" of not doing traditional designs but rather just sticking with green polish (which I LOVE!).

I've got Nfu-Oh 66 on my thumb, index, and pinkie fingers.

On my middle and ring fingers, I did a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. I water marbled on top of that using OPI Don't Mess With OPI, SpaRitual Eye of the Beholder, and a tiny bit of Zoya Bevin.

Apple Mani and the Orchard

We had a family trip to the apple orchard today so I did some nails to match! I used Glitter Gal Light As A Feather as the base.

And here's a photo collage of my little guy there!

Ruby White Tips Kids Get Off....

I was recently contacted by Laura of Ruby White Tips to do a review of her polishes (Disclosure Policy) since we're both Rubys. Of course I said yes!

She sent me two great polishes to review. Today I'll be showing you Kids, get off Mommy's stripper pole.  Such an interesting name! I wonder where the inspiration came from. On the bottles, Laura will only puts Kids Get Off... unless you want the whole name, hence the title.

Laura describes it as a "black jelly holo with gold glitter and gold diamond shaped glitters."  The description is so simple, but doesn't even begin to describe this polish!

Since the base is a jelly, I choose to layer this over black. I put on one coat of Kids Get Off on top of one coat of my go-to black, Wet n Wild Black Creme.

This polish applies wonderfully, though I did have to do a bit of fishing for the diamond glitters which I didn't mind.

Look at the rainbow-y holographic goodness in this polish. Sooooo pretty! And the gold glitters really make this different from other polishes like this out there.

What's also great about this polish is that it is Big-4 Free, vegan, and doesn't contain spectraflair.

And look at this in the shade. Just as pretty. You can see the smaller gold pieces much better.

Have you made it to the end? Good! Because I have a surprise for you!!!!
