Paint Box Polish: The Knight Bus Collection - Swatches and Review

Press Sample 

Hello, lovelies! I am still in Oklahoma but scheduled this post ahead of time so I could share this awesome new collection with you! Pam, the super sweet lady behind Paint Box Polish, is a huge Harry Potter fan (and has done other Harry Potter themed collections in the past) and decided to do a collection inspired by The Knight Bus scene in the third book/movie, Prisoners of Azkaban.  It's one of my favorite stories out of the entire series so I was super excited to see what she came up with!

Nothing to Disclose

Hello and Happy Saturday! This week's theme for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas is Geeks! I hadn't done a Harry Potter in a very long time and had this one in mind to try, so I figured now would be a great chance! So for today I created some dementors from Harry Potter!

Digit-al Dozen Does: Fandom - Harry Potter

Press Sample Purchased by Me

Happy Saturday! I'm here a day late and a  dollar... er, two manis.. short for DIgit-al Dozen week! I apologize for being so behind all week. This sickness has been pretty bad. I am still feeling it today but I am definitely feeling better than I was earlier in the week. I had this mani ready to show you last night but my internet was out, so if that hadn't happened I would  have at least posted my last mani this week "on time." But, enough about that, let's get to the reason you're here! Today, my tribute is to one of my favorite fandoms, Harry Potter.

Mystical Winter Frost... or Expecto Patronum?

31 Day Challenge Day 24 - Inspired By A Book

Hello everyone! I was super excited for today's challenge! I didn't start reading Harry Potter until this year (yes, I am WAY behind) and I absolutely LOVE it! I am so glad I finally read it and caught up with the rest of the world. LOL

Since I wasn't into the HP series back when it was new and books were still being written (and movies still being made), I never did HP nails when other bloggers were celebrating movie releases and such. This seemed like the perfect occasion to attempt some HP nails of my own!

Crest and description of each house at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

The Deathly Hallows symbol - representative of The Elder Wand, The Resurrection Stone and The Invisibility Cloak

I decided to do one nail for each house and to place the Deathly Hallows symbol on my thumb. 

Keep your eyes open and see if you can spot all the different "props" I used!
