Color Street Nail Strips

 *These strips were free samples.





Hi guys! Today I have a different type of post. I did a wear test on some Color Street samples I was sent. Just for funsies. These are not the best pics since this was all done on my right hand. The first color I was sent was called Moon River. A dusty deep blue with silver glitters. I loved the color so much. I had never used strips like this before. They adhere so well. They even stretch a little to fit YOUR nail shape perfectly. Here are some progress pics. 


June 21st

July 1st. Look how amazing these still look after 9 days!!

July 3rd

July 3rd. I took them off 2 days early because I was starting to pick them off 😳


The second sample I was sent I recorded how to apply them. That will be on my YouTube. These lasted the entire 2 weeks and I beat them up really good. I changed diapers, did dishes, swatched about 15 polishes, plus the normal wear and tear. This color was called Tokyo Lights. A gold and fuchsia glitter bomb. I loved it so much. 

July 16th

July 16th. This was my fault. I have a sharp curve in my nail and I didn’t adhere it as well as I should have. I also nicked the side 🙄

This was after removal. You remove it just like regular polish! Pic to show that there is no leftover damage!! I got these both from my friend Patricia so I will leave her shop link below! Each set comes with a small file, nail prep pad, and the nail strips. The pack comes with 16 strips in 8 different sizes. Here are the prices: 

$11: solid colors and clear nail art

$12: glitter

$13: glitter nail art, nail art

$14: french 

All packs are Buy 3 get 1 free except french which are Buy 1 get 1.

I highly recommend these if you don’t want to touch up your nails every few days. This is a super simple, no mess way of having your nails painted. And no dry time! The price is pretty good too. I actually thought they were more expensive so I was schooled. Thank you so much to Patricia for putting up with my forgetful self! I asked her polish names multiple times 😆 Make sure you watch my application video to see how easy these are to put on! Have a fantastic weekend y’all ♥️

Dr.'s Remedy ~ Peace, Love, Sunshine Collection ~ YouTube Swatches

Dr.’s Remedy ~ Peace, Love, Sunshine Trio

 *These polishes were provided for review



Hello! How has your week been? Mine has been pretty typical of a stay at home mom with a 6 month old! My son is just a super happy baby so its almost all fun... almost lol. Today I am bringing you the Peace, Love, Sunshine Collection from Dr.'s Remedy. Remember them? I have had them on my blog a few times. In case you don't, here is some info. Dr.'s Remedy polishes are formulated by doctors. They are vegan and totally safe to use. I won't weigh this post down so I am going to link their info HERE. Please go visit and see what they have to offer. Oh! One more thing. The polishes are filled with things like: tea tree oil, biotin, wheat protein, and other vitamins! Ok. Moving on.  

                                       





Sweet Soleil is a soft buttery yellow creme polish. I expected to have issues with the application but I had none!! Yellows can be picky so I was very happily surprised. The formula of this polish is perfectly creamy while also being very opaque. If you polish on the thicker side you could get away with 1 coat. I used 2 coats for my swatches. 














POLISHED Pale Peach is a gorgeous pale peachy pink. This color leaned nude as well. This is perfect for the end of summer. PPP is also a super work friendly color. Just one of those super simple must haves. Again, this was really opaque. Well, they are all very opaque. I used 2 coats for my swatch. 









TACTFUL Turmeric is the perfect sunset yellow-orange. Ya know the one I mean? The super bold sun? That one! TT really stands out on the nail. It has an extremely nice creme formula. This is screaming summer to me. I used 2 smooth coats for me swatch. 








Overall this collection really comes through for the later part of summer. Not even gonna try and say that I won’t use these all year because I will. They are just completely effortless to apply. The Peace, Love, Sunshine Collection is actually all sold separately so you don’t have to get all three together. You can mix and match with any of their colors. Dr.’s Remedy polishes are $17.25 a piece. Absolutely worth it considering the ingredients and quality. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope to see you soon :)

Moonflower Polish ~ August 2020 PPU ~ YouTube Swatch

Moonflower Polish ~ August 2020 PPU

*This polish was provided for review


Hello!! How are we all doing? Staying safe and healthy I hope 🤞🏼 Where I am it is thundering and lightning so this is the perfect time to write about this amazing beauty from Nadia of Moonflower Polish


Lightning Crashes is a “dark purple base with purple-to-blue iridescent micro flakes and scattered holo. It can be used as a regular polish in 1-2 coats or as a stamping polish. Lightning storms over Orlando Florida. Meteorology is one of my favorite sciences. The area of Central Florida where I live is known as Lightning Alley because it's the spot with the most lightning strikes in the northern hemisphere. The unique shape of the peninsula means there's usually going to be a thunderstorm in the afternoon, due to the collision of sea breezes from the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.” This is a deep grape color with blue flashes. It’s fantastic. I mean, I may be biased because blue and purple are my favorite polish colors, but I doubt it. The formula is perfect and only takes 1 coat. Could it get any better? YES! It stamps perfectly! I used one coat for these pics plus top coat. 












Amazing right?!?! Polish Pickup’s theme is Weird Science and it will be open from August 7th - August 10th. Lightning Crashes will be $12.50 with a cap of 75 US and 5 UK.

LynBDesigns ~ June 2020 PPU

*This polish was purchased by me


Hey guys! How are we all doing? I'm doing really good! We just officially started the process of buying a house. There have been lots of pauses because of covid but we are finally on track. We live in a 1 bedroom apartment with a 5 month old so its a little cramped here. In the now house I will have my own nail room!! It's actually going to be called the "noffice". Half nail room, half office. Pretty much my nail room with the laptop and printer in there 😆 I'm psyched!! Wait, are we here for polish? Ok, let's get to it.


LynBDesigns was inspired by the Maui mule for the Cocktails & Mocktails theme. The Lei'd Back is described as a dark purple (cold) to denim blue (warm) to peach (hot) tri-thermal with red to green to gold shifting aurora shimmer, pink to gold shifting flakes, and violet to pink to copper to orange shifting flakes. Since we are buying a house funds are slim right now but I had to have this. I am such a sucker for a thermal polish. They are just so much fun. The formula on this is spectacular and the thermal effect changes with ease. I am sooooooooo glad I got this one. I used 3 thin coats for my pics.
