31 Day Challenge: Day 18 - Half Moon Spider Webs

Nothing to Disclose

Hello! I have a late post tonight, but I love this look! I am not usually a fan of half moon manis on myself. I love them on other people but they always seem odd on my nails. I wanted to think outside the box for today's look and was feeling in a Halloween mood so I decided to make some half moon spider webs!

Press Sample 

Happy Hump Day! We are finally getting close-ish to the weekend! I am still working my way through the 31 Day Challenge. Still slightly behind but I am enjoying it and doing it as I can, which is what's important to me! Today's prompt is animal print and I really wanted to challenge myself to think outside the box of typical animal print and decided to do some peacock feathers!

Darling Diva Polish: The Watch Your Pack Collection - Swatches and Review

Press Sample 

Hello and Happy Friday! There's a storm moving in outside and I can't think of a more appropriate collection to tell you about on a "dark and stormy" night than one inspired by werewolves! The show Teen Wolf, to be more specific. This is the Watch Your Pack Collection from Darling Diva Polish and there are some frighteningly pretty polishes in it! Okay, I'll stop with trying to make the post have a spooky theme. I honestly haven't watched this show and don't know if it is spooky. I mean, it should be, because werewolves. Also, once the calendar hits August I'm SO ready for it to be Halloween. I know it's still more than two months away, but I want it NOW.

Now, let's get to the polishes!

The Digit-al Dozen Does Gradient +: Radial Gradient Plus Stamping

Nothing to Disclose

Hi everyone! It is Digit-al Dozen Week again and this month our theme is Gradient +. I am excited for this week because I love doing gradients and think they are perfect when combined with other techniques.  Today I decided to push myself and do a radial gradient. Ive done them before but they are hard so I am trying to practice and get better. 

Darling Diva Polish: There's No Crying in Baseball for April's A Box, Indied - Swatches and Review

Press Sample 

Hello! I am super sick but crawling out from the fog of this horrible virus turned intense sinus infection to share a gorgeous polish with you guys! This is Darling Diva Polish's There's No Crying in Baseball, which is kind of an ironic name for today, because today there was some crying in baseball. We lost a baseball legend today, Joe Garagiola Sr. I am a huge baseball fan and had so much admiration and respect for this man. You will be greatly missed! And, for all of my fellow Arizona Diamondbacks' fans who were lucky enough to listen to him in the broadcast booth, I will never hear or say the word "buckethead" without thinking of Joe.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas: Turquoise Leopard

Press Sample (Previously Reviewed)  Purchased by Me

Happy Saturday! I managed to squeeze in my mani for this weeks 40 Great Nail Art Ideas Challenge! This week's prompt is the color/patter prompt - color is aqua or turquoise and my pattern was leopard. I bought a gorgeous leopard print background that was on clearance at Michael's a few weeks ago because I wanted to use it as nail art inspiration and this was the perfect chance!

Darling Diva Polish: More Wine Nao!

Happy Hump Day, everyone! I have a quick NOTD post for you today! I wore this polish for about a week and a half - even removed it a couple of times to swatch but put it right back on. I just really love this one!

The Digit-al Dozen Does New and Improved: Day 5 - One Stroke Flower

Purchased by Me

Hello, everyone! I am incredibly late with my final Digit-al Dozen mani this month, but I figured it was better to be late than not finish! Computer issues and migraines have made blogging especially difficult this week but I missed so many Digit-al Dozen posts the last few months I was determined to finish this one, even if it is late.

I am really glad I decided to do this mani today because I've been wanting to try one stroke flowers for, literally, years. I believe I first saw them right around the time I created my blog, which was 4 years and 3 months ago (time flies!). I didn't think I was able to do any nail art then, especially anything as intricate as flowers. It really shows me how much I've grown and changed since I started blogging!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas: Glitter or Flake Topper

Press Sample

Happy Saturday! My nephews are here today and we are going to decorate for Christmas so I am super excited! But first I wanted to get a quick post up for my nail art challenge this week. The color theme this week is "glitter or flakie topper" and my pattern was "half and half." I knew I wanted to make it Christmas-themed, but with a twist. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Darling Diva Polish: Redelicious (Exclusive to December's A Box, Indied) - Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Hello again! I am back with another Darling Diva Polish! This one will be exclusive to December's A Box, Indied. A Box, Indied is Reloaded with a lot of new and exciting changes. The theme for this month's box is Re-Vamped - I'm all in for anything with the word vamp! ;)

A Box, Indied is no longer subscription-based. Instead, there will be an open pre-order on the 1st and 2nd of each month. All of the makers will then work to fulfill orders as soon as possible and all boxes should be on their way to their new homes by the 15th of the month. I think sounds like a great layout, and I'm excited about the new makers involved. It should be a fun year ahead! For now, let's get to the reason you're here - photos!

Darling Diva Polish: Hug My Face Collection (AKA Alien Collection) - Swatches and Review

Press Sample 

Hello everyone! I feel like it's been forever since I posted a collection review. Life has been slapping me upside the head lately and I feel like I've been a pretty crappy blogger. I'm hoping to be able to get back on a more regular schedule soon. I am going to be out of town next week but I have some guest posts lined up for you, as well as some posts scheduled from me. Hopefully I will be able to get caught up very soon!

Today I have a collection that launched a few weeks ago and is currently available! This is my favorite type of collection - a wide variety of colors and finishes so there is something to please everyone! I have a lot of photos so keep on scrolling for the Darlin Diva Hug My Face Collection!

Gradient Honeycomb

Press Sample  Purchased by Me 

Hello and happy weekend! Happy long weekend to most of my US readers. I have a nail art post for you tonight! A nail art post and it isn't even Digit-al Dozen week. LOL! I've been so busy lately that I haven't had much time for blogging, which has put me behind. Because of that I've spent every spare moment trying to swatch and get caught up. But this has not left anytime for nail art and I have not been enjoying my nails like I normally do. So last night I decided I was going to do something fun. I spent over 4 hours trying to pull off a successful water marble. I wasn't happy with the results, but I think I have figured out what I was doing wrong and plan on trying again soon. Even though my attempts weren't successful, I did have a lot of fun trying. And then I decided I was going to put on something I could wear as a full mani and just have fun looking at.

*Both brands featured in this post are having Labor Day sales so make sure you check out their social media accounts!*

I recently received the Darling Diva Polish Hug My Face Collection (AKA the Alien Collection) to review and they are so stunning. I couldn't wait to play with them! I will have full swatches soon, but for now, here's a little sneak peek.

Darling Diva Polish: The Princess of Power Collection - Swatches and Review

Press Sample 

Hello! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! I was going to show you this fabulous collection last week but time just keeps getting sucked into a vortex for me and I'm behind on EVERYTHING! I had an amazing time in Las Vegas meeting with so many bloggers, indie makers and non-indie brands. I have so many new pretties to show you! My nails suffered while I was gone and are super short now, but they will have to do for the time being. I swatched this collection before I left for Vegas, so my nails are longer than any newer swatches will be.
