Girlosity Cosmetics New Releases Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Press Sample*
Today I have the some new releases from from Girlosity Cosmetics.  Two are from her 1 year anniversary and the other 3 are from her Love Collection.  Girlosity Cosmetics products are 5-free, so they don't contain the 5 harsh chemicals that can be found in polish.

Now let's get to some swatches!

3 Empties: Dream Polish Gem Glow Cuticle Oil, Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle and Fortune Cookie Soap Whipped Cream

Greetings and Nailutations,

It's another installment of 3 empties, where I review 3 products I have used up and express my opinion on how well they worked, how they smelled, their packaging and if I'd make a repeat purchase.

Candy Drop Duo: Wishful Caking and Celebration Of Friendship

Greetings and Nailutations,

Now let's get some swatches!

Little Nail Girl Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Press sample*
Today I am going to share 3 polishes Little Nail Girl sent me.  Little Nail Girl is a 5-free, vegan friendly and cruelty free nail polish brand.  Little Nail Girl is operated by one owner and is hand made in a lab so it's a little different than an indie brand...it's called a boutique brand.  I was sent Aidan, Tina and Nichole.

Now let's get to some swatches!

St Patrick's Day Nails Using Different Dimension Static Vision

Greetings and Nailutations!

It's St. Patricks Day Eve!!  This post is the last of my trio of St. Patrick's Day manis. I had to dive into green and gold again - sorry I couldn't resist!

I used Different Dimension's Static Vision, which is a lovely jelly holographic polish.  Photos show 2 coats with Heather's Hues Top That Top Coat (1st and 2nd photos) and Heather's Hues Heart Of The Matter (3rd and 4th photos).

I added stamping using MPolishes Guilded, It Girl IG103 Plate and Clear Jelly Stamper soft stamper and topped it with Heather's Hues Top That Top Coat.

I hope you enjoyed the green and gold party!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Be sure to avoid getting pinched (unless you like it *wink wink*) and wear green!

Happy Polishing,

St Patrick's Day Nails Using A Drip Drop Nail Paint Prototype

Greetings and Nailutations,

Or should I say "cheers" as my Irish friends say.  It's getting close to St. Patrick's Day and the green manis continue!

Today I'm sharing a prototype from Drip Drop Nail Paint.  Jessica, of DDNP has holiday grab bags with 3 prototypes and I love them!  This was one of the ones I got in my recent purchase of a St. Patty's grab bag - it is a white glitter crelly with multi color glitters with a focus on green hearts.  Photos show 2 coats with Heather's Hues Top That Top Coat.  I love that it isn't "in your face" green.

I added some light stamping on 2 fingers using Painted Polish Woodland Whimsy and a What's Up Nails Creative Shop Stamper.  I also used Ellagee Lickity Split Latex Mani Mask for easier clean up. The matte top coat is Heart Of The Matter from Heather's Hues.

Do you do anything to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?  I'm boring and just wear green....but maybe I'll convince the hubby to cook some green food!  (He does all the cooking.)

Happy Polishing,

St Patrick's Day Nails Using Bliss Polish and Drip Drop Nail Paint

Greetings and Nailutations!

As we approach St Patrick's Day - the green festive manis will be showing their "tips!"  The next few blogs posts will be dedicated to green themed manis!  I'm also doing this with a group of gals, so be sure to check out their manis at the bottom!

I started with Bliss Polish The Pay Off, a green glitter jelly with green and gold hex glitters as my main base.  I decided to make a pinky accent of Drip Drop Nail Paint's Gold Veined Mirrors.  I topped it with HK Girl Top Coat from Glisten and Glow and let dry.  I loved the base so much I had to take a photo of it and a macro and a brush shot!

Then I decided to add a gold accent design using Nails Redesigned stencil and Drip Drop Nail Paint's Gold Veined Mirrors.  My top coat here is Heather's Hues Heart of the Matter - because one must matte all the jellies!

Do you have your nail color or outfit picked out for St Patrick's Day?  Are you ready?  Be sure to check out all the amazing manis below that showcase St. Patrick's Day!

Happy Polishing,
