China Glaze Metro Pollen-tin & BornPretty Black Studs

Hey dolls! We’re one step closer to the end of the work week! Some time ago I picked up several shades from the China Glaze City Flourish collection, which was released for spring 2014.

Twinsie Tuesday ~ Inspired by a Book ~ Zoya Spencer

Valentine's Day Nails

Twinsie Tuesday ~ Valentine’s Day Inspired

Hey dolls! More Valentine’s day nails for you today, yay! Sorry, that was a little bit of sarcasm. Hubby and I aren’t huge on Valentine’s. We shower each other with gifts regularly and show love throughout the year, so there’s not much need to buy things on the 14th at an outrageously marked up price. I’ll get off of my

The brush was relatively wide and the formula, while a little thick, applied easily. I used three coats for opacity. The polish does dry to a textured finish, but not quite in the same manner
