Julep ~ Myrtle

Hi!! I usually dont do red and to me red is red. I know there are different shades and all that but its just not a favorite of mine. That being said, this polish is the perfect red. Rich enough for holidays but bright enough for anything!! Love it!! For this swatch i used 3 coats no top coat. Their polish must have top coat built in because its sooooo shiny :) and again the polish was a dream to work with. Went on smooth and dried quick. If you are looking for the perfect red look no more because this one is it!!

Julep ~ Elle

Hello!! This time i have Elle!! A very dark royalty type purple. Didnt like this so much in the bottle but its magic on the nails. Again a very superior formula. Two super easy coats without top coat!! Dries nicely and timely. What do you think??

Julep ~ Libby

Hey everyone!! Sorry about the lack of posts. Its the holidays so it's just been busy!! I hope everyone is ready for Christmas only a few days left!!!!! Anywho, here we have Libby a beautiful teal creme. Totally opaque in two coats. Probably the best formula in any polish brand I have ever tried!!! It went on like butter and shined like I had top coat on when I didn't. I have actually heard conflicting reviews for the julep polishes. Well my review is amazing it was awesome. Besides the fact that I just woke up to a julep box with 7 polish is in it as a surprise from my mother :) the dry time isn't bad either. Overall a super high quality polish. Checkout Libby!! enjoy :D

Bling Biscuit Lacquers ~ Dark Waters

Hello again ladies :) Here i have Bling Biscuits Lacquer Dark Waters. This is such a gorgous blue. It is very sheer though. I never really liked sheer polishes before but i have learned to layer and adapt!! I put 3 coats of this polish over black and a pastel blue. Its sooooo pretty. Not positive but it looks like a foil polish but sheer if thats possible lol. The formula was good but streaky on the first coat. Totally evened itself out on the second and third coats. Dry time was great!! And the logo is the cutest ever!!! Enjoy this wonderful polish :)

Painted Polish ~ Aurora

Hi all!! Here is an awesome micro glitter!! This is Painted Polish Aurora. It looks like a rainbow of colors but when i looked closer i could only see 3!! Pink, blue, and yellow. I like this way more than i thought i would. Went on very easily and with great coverage!! All pics are one coat over pastels with topcoat. Great dry time as well. Hope to get more of these in the future!! Enjoy :)

Influenster Rose Voxbox

Hello!! This post is not a nail post but it involves polish... does that count? Just wanna give you a quick review of the products i was given from Influenster :) If you dont know what this is it is a product testing site. You dont just get free stuff. You have to review it, take pics, all that good stuff :) if you are interested please email me!! I have invites :) (jstmynails@gmail.com) Ok, i loved this box!! It had lotion, chocolate, nail polish, and more. Lets start with the Dr. Scholl's for her cozy cushions. I actually passed these along to my mom because i wear flip flops all year long lol. I did ask her how they were and she loves them. She wears steal toe boots for work and she said her feet are always warm and comfortable. Even when working outside in the winter!! So i would say A+ for those :) The Lindor chocolate, what can be said?? It was gone before i even knew what else was in my box!! Of course it was smooth and heavenly. Its my favorite chocolate so they did good!! The lotion i got was Vitabath hydrating lotion in wild red cherry scent. Smells so good i could eat it. My daughter always has a reason that she neeeeeddddss to put the lotion on for lol. And a little goes a long way!! The only issue i have is that it is a little greasy. Not for long cuz it all soaks in pretty quickly but i still am not a fan of that feeling. Now the mascara. I have very long dark thick lashes naturally so i dont use much mascara. This i am no help with. I did use it to try it but to me it seemed like every other kind. Still clumped a little bit as well. Sorry i cant be of more help with this one. But as for the Belvita breakfast cookies, OMG!!! I could eat those for every meal every day. Soooooo yummy :) cant wait to try more flavors. And they kept me full for quite a while!! Aahhh last but not least, my Kiss gradation set. I love the idea of this but wasnt totally pleased. I have a review a few posts back including pictures. Each of the 3 polishes are great on their own. Gonna have to give this set another try. How did you enjoy your rose voxbox??

Christmas Manis!!

Nothing to review or swatch today but here is a few shots of a Christmas mani i just finished :) i used Pure Ice silver mercedes sugar cookie. For the red and green i just used some Avon stripers and a dotting tool over nail tape!! Enjoy :)

Adding more christmas manis to this post!! These are a chevron tip with gold star studs. The base is essies as gold as it gets. The tips are winter wonder by sinful colors. Wanted something cute and festive but not super girly!! SUCCESS :) Enjoy!!
