Press Sample 

Hello! I'm kicking off this week with the gorgeous November Polish of the Month from Colors by Llarowe, Turning Leaves.  There are some changes happening with CbL because Leah Ann is taking some time off to spend with family so the site will be in vacation mode during the month of November. Due to this change, this polish will be available for purchase on October 29th instead of the 1st. You can visit the Llarowe Facebook page for more info. 

31 Day Challenge: Day 22 - One-Eyed, One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater

Press Sample Purchased by Me

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! I had a great Friday and Saturday with some amazing friends and gorgeous scenery (and temps!). Today wasn't so great, but I managed to do a little nail art tonight to continue on the 31 Day Challenge! Today is the "inspired by a song" prompt and I just had to do one of my favorite "Halloween" songs since I was a kid! (You can check out the mani I did based on my other favorite Halloween song in the 31 Day Challenge in 2014 here!)

31 Day Challenge: Day 19 - Galaxy Nails

Nothing to Disclose

Hello again! I have a quick post for you tonight with some nails that I absolutely love! Today's prompt is galaxy and I like these better than any galaxy nails I have ever done!

31 Day Challenge: Day 15 - Delicate Roses

Press Sample Purchased by Me

Hello everyone! I'm back with another look for the 31 Day Challenge! You may have seen my pic of my nail of the day on Instagram. I enjoyed wearing it so much while I was out running errands today! (I will have proper swatches of these soon!) I was so tired when I got home I didn't have it in me to freehand the design I had in mind, so I pulled out my stamping supplies and used a beautiful rose pattern over my NOTD!

31 Day Challenge: Day 10 - Gradient Skittle

Press Sample 

Hello again! I'm back with another look for the 31 Day Challenge! The prompt is gradient and I wanted to do something a little different than a traditional gradient so I went with gradient skittles.

31 Day Challenge: Day 6 - Violet Stripes and Dots

Press Sample 

Hello! I've fallen behind on the 31 Day Challenge - but better late than never, right? So I am trying to play catch-up and have Day 6 to show you tonight! I took inspiration for this mani from Sheila at Pointless Cafe and I love how it turned out!

31 Day Challenge: Day 4 - Green Swirls

Purchased by Me Press Sample

Hello, everyone! It's been a busy day and I just finished my nail art for today's 31 Day Challenge mani! I had a freehand design in mind but I didn't have time to do it tonight so I'll have to save it for another time! I pulled out more neons and my stamping supplies for today's look!

Colors by Llarowe: Winter Jellies and Crellies - Swatches and Review

Good morning! It's a brand new week and I am kicking it off with some jellies and crellies from Colors by Llarowe.  These were released for winter 2015 and are all currently in stock (though one of them is currently in the clearance section). They are gorgeous and I can't wait to show them to you!

Butterfly Skittles

Press Sample 

Hello! I am so glad this week is over! But I imagine most of us are. ;) Today I have a fun mani over the polish I showed you yesterday - 6 Harts Butterfly Floufs. I used 4 different Colors by Llarowe stamping polishes for this look! 

Holo Flora: Colors by Llarowe - Garden of the Gods with Stamping

Press Sample 

Hi lovelies! I finally have some nail art to show you! I have been missing nail art SO much! I just haven't had much time for it lately. I didn't have time for a freehand mani (hopefully soon!), but I did do some stamping and I love how it turned out!

The Digit-al Dozen Does Gradients +: Twisty Triangles

Nothing to Disclose

Hello, everyone! Happy Friday! I am so sad I wasn't able to post all 5 days this week, but I have a mani I am really happy with to close out the week! I love my gradient base and I did some fun freehand work on top - I haven't gotten to do freehand nail art in awhile and I have missed it so much!

The Digit-al Dozen Does Nail Heroes: Leah Ann from Llarowe

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Friday! I apologize for being so absent this week. I had all of my Digit-al Dozen manicures planned out but then I was hit with a 4-day long migraine and every time I thought it was easing up it would just come roaring back. I am finally starting to feel better and I wanted to at least join in on the last day of Digit-al Dozen week!

My nail hero today is Leah Ann from Llarowe/Colors by Llarowe. Leah Ann was the very first stockist - her website was the very first website to carry multiple brands of nail polish from all over the world. Without her, the nail polish community would not be what it is today. In the midst of that she created her very own gorgeous line of colors called Color by Llarowe. She recently stopped carrying other brands but her brand is still going strong and she creates some absolutely gorgeous colors and her formulas are, in my experience, always spot-on.

The Digit-al Dozen Does New and Improved: Day 4 & 40 Great Nail Art Ideas: Things That Fly - Dandelions

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Saturday! Today I have a mani combining my 4th Digital Dozen mani of the week with the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas theme this week, which is "things that fly." I have been wanting to make an attempt at dandelion nail art for awhile now and it fit both prompts so I took a stab at it today and I am pretty happy with the results!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas: Teal Fishtail Braid Mani

Press Sample Purchased by Me

Happy Saturday, everyone! I'm back with the Crumpet's Nail Tarts to bring another week of 40 Great Nail Art Ideas! I was originally just going to participate in one half of the challenge but I think I lost my mind and decided a few days ago to jump in with both feet and do both halves, which means one mani every week for this year-long challenge! This portion of the challenge has everyone using the same color prompt, but with varying techniques. My technique this week is fishtail braid and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out! Especially since I have not done very many fishtail braid designs before.

Indie Inlinkz: Favorite Fall Color (Plus Nail Art)

Purchased by Me

Hello and happy first day of fall! To celebrate the first day of the best season of the year several of us decided to get together and show off our favorite fall colors. The problem is I don't have just one favorite fall color! LOL! I love rich browns, vampy reds,  deep purples and rusty oranges and wear all of them year long, but especially in autumn!

I received the fall CbLs that I ordered on Monday (which I had just ordered exactly one week before on pre-order, that's super fast shipping!) and immediately put on Mocha Grande and have not wanted to take it off. It is so beautiful! So, I decided I would post it today, along with some autumn nail art.
