Belated Valentine!

Hey, everyone!  So I know it's a few days late but I really loved my Valentine's Day mani and I wanted to share it!

I recently obtained my first Cadillacquer polish from a blog sale and I knew it was the perfect color for Valentine's Day.  Cadillacquer's We'll Meet Again has flawless coverage in two coats and is pumped up with red glitters and lots of holographic microglitter.  I haven't ever been much of a fan of red and pink together, but this.... perfection!

As you can see, I also created an adorable accent nail on each hand with Sinful Colors Snow Me White and some pink rose water decals from the Born Pretty Store.  I freakin' LOVE water decals.  I think the pink roses just pop right off my nail surrounded by that Cadillacquer pink!

This is, as I said, two coats of We'll Meet Again over my usual Orly base with one coat of HK Girl on top.  What do you think?  Isn't it sweet!?  Perfect for Valentine's Day!


If you need some Cadillacquer of your own Llarowe.com provides this brand in the US at this LINK.  Here is the link to the main Cadillacquer Shop.

Born Pretty Store Water Decal Review and a Giveaway!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, my darlings!!!

Firstly, I want to wish you all a fantastic 2014 and the best of luck in all your goals!  I wish I could give something to each of you wonderful readers, but for now I want to share some really cool water decals with one lucky winner.

I fell head over heels for these rose decals when I saw a gorgeous neutral, but mixed colors mani done by a popular blogger who linked her blog page to the shop (where I realized that there are some freakin' awesome water decals at The Born Pretty Store).  I have a little problem, though: I cannot remember which blogger posted the mani that inspired mine and I would really like to give credit!  So if you know or it was your gorgeous digits, please inform me!!  Thanks! ;)

Here is a pretty self-explanatory pic of things you will need for the water decal application!  I used cool water.  The decals were crazy easy to use and the instructions on the package were very basic and anyone can do this!



The process was so easy that my daughter was able to help me out.  There is no rush like with stamping and you are able to move the decals around if you don't quite get the placement on target the first time or two.  I love that each rose is a little different and that the color was opaque enough on the flower so that the polish wouldn't show through and ruin the effect.  Use your favorite top coat over the mani, clean it up around the edges as usual, and voila!

Isn't this cute!?  And so much fun.  It's actually one of my favorite manis and I plan to duplicate it again in the future.  And now you can try out some Born Pretty water decals, too!  Just enter in the Rafflecopter below (after you read the rules, please)!
