Twinsie Tuesday: Pinterest Inspiration

Hey guys! It's Tuesday meaning, I have another Twinsie Tuesday post. This week's theme is Pinterest Inspiration. This actually took a while to do because once I was on Pinterest, I kept getting distracted with so many pictures! I was just pinning everything lol. I finally remembered why I had gone on Pinterest to begin with and found my inspiration! Check out what I chose down below!

I remember pinning this a while ago actually. I just loved the way people were using NOPI Be Awesome so that's why I pinned this pic, which you can see here. It's such a simple idea and just pretty! 

I used OPI Do You Take Lei Away? as my base, and used NOPI Be Awesome for the glitter placement. From far, my nails look awesome LOL! But up close I can see all the imperfections, especially all those bubbles! I tried guys, I tried but this is a total fail!

I hope you guys like it though! Check out what the girls did down below!

Dollish Polish & Jindie Nails 'SUPER HEROES vs. SUPER VILLAINS' : Batman & The Joker - Swatches & Review

Hey guys! Long time no see huh? Sorry about that! I've been busy, busy, busy, swatching a core line for a gel polish company and it's definitely taken a lot of my time. I'm almost done, so things should be back to the usual soon. In the meantime, here's an awesome duo collaboration between Jindie Nails and Dollish Polish. This time, they're doing a whole new series of Super Heroes vs. Super Villains! The first duo in the line up is Batman & The Joker. Today is the last day for preorder, so make sure to check out all the pictures and info down below!

I love it when Dollish Polish and Jindie Nails collaborate! They've made some really awesome duos. If you're not aware, they did a 'Famous Couples Throughout History' series which included Romeo & Juliet and Bonnie & Clyde just to name a few. I do not know if they will continue with that series, but in the meanwhile, we can preoccupy ourselves with their newest series of SUPER HEROES vs. SUPER VILLAINS! How awesome is that!? The Joker & Batman duo is available for preorder RIGHT NOW but will be officially released on the 27th of March. They're limited edition so if they run out before that, they're gone for good!

 Batman - Have You Ever Danced With The Devil In The Pale Moonlight? by Jindie Nails. 
This is a gray crelly loaded with gold and silver holo shimmer. It also has varying glitters in different shapes including dots, squares, triangles, and hexagons in shades of matte gray, matte black, matte yellow, and metallic gold and silver. I wore 3 coats for the pictures below. Let me tell you, at first I wasn't too fond of the base color, but once I put it on, it was so pretty and represented Batman so perfectly! The glitter combo is so perfect and the golden shimmer is such a nice addition. Jen did such a perfect job with this. Love the polish, plus the formula was super smooth. I did flip the bottle before applying it to have the larger glitters sink and have application be easier.





The Joker - Why So Serious? by Dollish Polish
This is a vibrant royal purple crelly, jam-packed with micro glitter of varying shades, including holo lime, emerald, burnt orange, indigo, blue, black, holo purple, iridescent blue, and sprinkled in are olive, orange, and indigo flakes. I wore 3 thin coats for the pictures below. Oh man, this is so gorgeous! I just love this! It's such a perfect combination of glitters and the flakes go so well in there. I tried so hard to capture the correct shade of purple but my camera hates me so I couldn't. It's way more purple than it's showing. It went on so smoothly and I got great coverage with two coats but decided to do three. 





Overall, I'm really impressed with this duo! I mean, Jindie and Dollish never disappoint to be honest, but I think this is my favorite collaboration of theirs. The polishes are just really creative and really well made. I most definitely recommend these to a die hard Batman fan, and basically anyone that loves polish! Again, this duo is available TODAY for preorder, but today is the LAST DAY! So make sure to get them. They will also be available Friday, March 27th. They are limited edition and each bottle will be numbered and mailed with an index card with all the info. You can purchase them either here, or here.

Twinsie Tuesday: Saint Patrick's Day

Hey guys! Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I hope you're wearing something green so you don't get pinched! This week's theme for the Twinsie Tuesday girls was obviously St. Patrick's Day. I kinda, sorta, took the easy route and did a really simple mani. But sometimes simple is better right? Lol anyways, check out what I did down below. 

At first I wanted to do a more detailed mani but it's 1:30 am and I have to be up at 8:00 am. So I realized that I had the perfect green polish. I decided to use Contrary Polish Shamrock & Roll from the March A box Indied. This is a bright lime green jelly with golden flakes and golden shimmer.
Without Top Coat
I used 3 coats for the picture below. I couldn't capture the right shade of green, it's a lot brighter and a bit more of neon. The formula and application was great.
With Top Coat
Use the links below to see what the rest of the Twinsie Tuesday girls did.

Twinsie Tuesday: Endometriosis Awareness Nails

Hey guys! I hope everyone is had a great start of the week. Mondays always suck for me lol I get lazy. But this week's theme for Twinsie Tuesday is really special to me so I was excited to post! This week, the Twinsie Tuesday girls are wearing yellow to bring awareness to Endometriosis. Endometriosis is a hormonal and immune system disease in which endometrial cells or uterine lining cells exist outside the uterine cavity which then swell up and shed outside of the uterus causing extreme pain and sometimes infertility. This female reproductive disease affects approximately 1 in 10 women worldwide. 


To be honest, I didn't know a whole lot of Endometriosis before this post so I'm glad I participated this week and learned a few things. I can't even begin to understand what these women must go through with all the pain every month. I don't have Endometriosis but I do have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). I was diagnosed about 2 years ago but I always knew something was wrong since I was about 15. I don't get pain like Endometriosis, but I can relate to the infertility aspect of it. My boyfriend (of six years now) and I haven't been trying to have a baby but we haven't been trying to stop it either and six years later, here we are with not a single pregnancy. At the moment I guess it's not something that I'm really worried about because I'm not in a hurry to have kids, but I know when we do start that chapter in our lives it will be really hard, both financially and physically. It's scary. Especially because that's the one thing that I'm supposed to be able to do because I'm a woman, and I can't. Finding out you have a disease that there's no cure for is stressful and scary, and if you're one of them, try to reach out to friends and family. You can also find more information regarding Endometriosis here. 

For today's nails, I did some simple daisy flowers using Zoya Daisy (wow I just realized the yellow is called Daisy! Definitely a coincidence.), Color Club Blank Canvas, OPI The It Color, and Enchanted Polish Flashing Lights. 

I rarely use yellow to be honest. So I definitely had a hard time choosing something that would actually go well together. I also wanted a design that would feel happy. I think I did that but I'm not sure, I'll leave it up to you guys to decide. I wore Enchanted Polish Flashing Lights for my pinky and pointer finger and used Zoya Daisy to draw the yellow ribbons. 


I then used Zoya Daisy as my base for my middle and ring finger and drew the white petals using Color Club Blank Canvas, and OPI The It Color for the middle. I then dotted a bit of Flashing Lights randomly. 



I really hope you guys like it! Make sure to check out what the rest of the girls did down below. And make sure to click here to find more information regarding Endometriosis.

Dollish Polish: Don't Be A Square Collection - Swatches & Review

Happy Thursday guys! I hope everyone is having a great week so far, and if it's not, don't worry, the weekend is soon! Today's post consists of an awesome collection! Do you like Pulp Fiction?? Then, this is the collection for you. Dollish Polish has created a beautiful collection called Don't Be A Square! More info down below.

I love Quentin Tarantino movies! Inglorious Bastards, Django, Kill Bill...all such great movies! But Pulp Fiction is definitely my favorite. I don't even know how many times I've seen it. I was really excited for this collection and to see what Dolly came up with. The Don't Be A Square Collection is being released Monday, February 23rd, just click here to purchase! This collection consists of 8 new awesome shades!

 Keep Calm & Call The Wolf is a soft dove crelly loaded with varying sized glitters in shades of heather grey, gunmetal, white, and chocolate brown. I used 3 coats with top coat. Doesn't this totally remind you of a wolf?! It's really cool and the colors are spot on. The application was great, it went on really smoothly and you get tons of glitters on you bush, no need to fish anything out.




Pretty Good F*cking Milkshake is a strawberry crelly loaded with matte squares, hex's, and dots in shades of white, orange, green, yellow, and red. I wore 3 coats with topcoat. This is so girly! It's pink and colorful! It's so pretty. Formula and application was great!



Don't Be A Square is a denim blue jelly with micro and medium square glitters in shades of turquoise, navy, royal, and sky blue. I wore 3 coats with top coat. This dries a bit matte, just add a top coat to make it shiny. No complaints on the formula and application.





Royale With Cheese is a dense silver micro glitter, accented with shades of green, orange, red, turquoise, yellow, blue. I used it for a glitter gradient over I Said, God Damn, GOD DAMN!. You can easily get full coverage with two or three coats though. No complaints on formula and application. 



Be Cool Honey Bunny is a Lucite green crelly with micro glitters throughout in shades of deep teal, turquoise, magenta, and honey. I wore 2 coats with top coat. I think this is my favorite from the collection. I just love this shade of green and the glitter combo goes so well. The formula and application was awesome, it went on smooth.





English Mother F*cker, Do You Speak It? is a soft rose/berry shade with subtle metallic sheen with a hint of red and pink glass flecks. I used 2 coats with topcoat. I really love this color with my skin tone! LOL Just had to share that. The formula and application was awesome, it went on really smoothly with no pulling! I tried to get a good macro of it but those flecks just didn't want to come out!


I Said, God Damn, GOD DAMN! is a blue-toned lilac creme. I wore 2 coats. This is a bit more purple than it's showing but I couldn't capture the color perfectly. It's so gorgeous though. I'm definitely ready for spring with this shade! No complaints on the formula and application!

Zed's Dead Baby, Zed's Dead is a rich mossy olive green, loaded with green iridescent flakes and micro flakes. I wore 3 coats with topcoat. I think this is one of those colors you either love or hate. Because I love green, this shade is totally perfect! Though the base is green and the flakes are green, the flakes totally do stand out against the base! The formula and application was perfect.




Overall, I'm loving this collection! There's a little something for everyone! From glitter to no glitter to way too much glitter! Wait, there can never be too much glitter LOL! If you haven't tried out Dollish Polish, well then, what are you waiting for?! This collection is being released this Monday, February 23rd! You can purchase them here. Also, make sure to follow Dollish Polish on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Pinterest, and even their own blog!

Twinsie Tuesday: Match Your Nails To Your Purse

Hey guys! I hope everyone's week is starting off great! Today I have another Twinsie Tuesday post and this week's theme is Match Your Nails To Your Purse. Check out what I did for this week's post down below!


So my usual bag is this black Roxy bag that's kind of blah so that definitely didn't inspire me LOL. So I instead chose this bag from Forever 21 that I've had for a while:

I don't use it everyday, but I do use it often. So obviously I had to do some quilted nails! I was actually pretty excited because I've never done that nail art technique. It looks easy, but I had a hard time with it. My lines kept coming out all crooked and unevenly spaces. Let's just say that the picture below is of my third attempt.

I used American Apparel Hassid, which has the most amazing formula. I got full coverage with just one coat but had to apply a second to be able to 'quilt' it. I also used China Glaze De-Light for the glitter gradient. The golden hexes are from the dollar store I think, I don't even remember anymore. This is definitely not my best work so I'll have to give this technique another go soon. I hope you guys liked it though! Make sure to check out what the rest of the girls did down below!
