Its a Confetti Nail Party!

If you can’t be at a party, bring the party to you!

Charlotte Russe‘s Nail Polish line, Love Charlotte has some of the prettiest colors for this season. I purchased a pastel peach polish and a gel polish with assorted colored confetti sparkles.

Charlotte Russe’s Love, Charlotte Nail Polish. ( Peach and Confetti)

The pastel peach polish is a lovely color but unfortunately, I had to use 3 coats to get the look I wanted. My first coat of the pastel peach polish was streaky and extremely light!!!

The Gel Confetti Polish is not the gel polish that can be done at the nail salon but it does have a gel consistency, that I adore!! I plan on trying to use this polish by itself. The light pink tint with the assorted confetti sparkles are simply beautiful! I think it looks better in the bottle!

I am not happy with the results, but the confetti effect does remind me of a party theme!

A Box of Goodies from Julep

Who can deny a box full of goodies?

Last week I received this wonderful box from Julep and could not wait to post my review!

Julep is a women empowering company, that specializes in making women connect and feel great about themselves through their products. I ordered the Bombshell box and received two nail polishes, cuticle oil and a hand cream packet. Here is the best part, I received a $20 value box for $3.99, ALL BECAUSE JULEP HAD A BOX SPECIAL!!! This box was my intro/subscription box for the month of June.

I only payed for shipping!!!! 🙂

Julep nail colors: Natasha and Paris, cuticle oil and Rock Star Hand Cream.

I absolutely love Julep’s polishes. They paint on very smoothly and dry in no time!! The Bombshell Box is just my style. I love a good bright color and an added touch of sparkle to just about anything. The cuticle oil is has a light fragrance smell and provides an easy application with a rolling ball and the hand cream is very moisturizing. Just what’s needed for these hot and dry summer days.

If you become a Maven (member) at Julep.com, you can purchase a box and have one shipped to you automatically every month for $20.00. I was considering ordering just this one box and canceling my subscription, but I love the polishes so much that I am anxious to see what arrives in my next box this month!

The site also sells single polishes, beauty and body products and many other amazing sets.

Alysha, one of my close college friend’s, told me about this site and the special box offer and since I received it, I could not be any happier with the results and company! My friend is a blogger and shares great posts on finding jobs, interview/work outfits, beauty tips in preparation for work and other information regarding corporate jobs. Check out and follow Alysha’s blog at: http://www.classtocorporate.blogspot.com.

I definitely can say this company is good at connecting women and providing fabulous nail colors to brighten up any day!

Thank you Alysha and thank you Julep!!

Magna Nails

Magna Nails is a product that I have seen on tv and could not believe that it would actually work. I recently purchased the Magnetic Nail Polish and guess what? IT WORKS!!

Salon Effects: Groove

I had previously posted about purchasing the Salon Effects color Groove and decided to post photos I found of the finished look. Salon Effects I would definitely say are good for people who are on the go and that want a wonderful turn out that requires less work, no mess and look professionally done. I also ended up adding glitter to every other nail. Loved it!!

I plan to buy more of these!

Newspaper Print Nails

For so long I have been wanting to try this effect on my nails and I finally got around to do it!

The steps are pretty simple!

Things You’ll Need:

• Rubbing Alcohol (Can use any brand)
• A nail polish color of your choice
• Newspaper
• Clear polish for base and top coat

Submerging newspaper in alcohol.

Placing newspaper piece on finger.

After painting your nails with a solid color and applying a clear top coat, your ready for printing time! Cut or rip pieces of newspaper large enough to fully cover your entire nail, submerge the pieces into the alcohol and place a piece on your nail. Press down and hold it for at least 5 – 10 seconds. To have a more effective print, hold the piece of newspaper on to your nail longer. Repeat the process for each nail and cover with a top coat of clear and WAH LAA Your all done!

HAPPY PRINTING!!

Water Marble: A Burst of Blue

 

After posting Nail Lacquer Addiction, I was followed by Shannon, I browsed throughout her blog and found some amazing make up cosmetics that I wanted to purchase and this really neat step by step process on doing Water Marble nails. I had to press this post because I was almost tempted to remove my current color and give it a try, plus I thought other readers would enjoy it. Can’t wait to try this!   Water Marble: A Burst of Blue.

Nail Lacquer Addiction

I have a slight pet peeve with chipped nails, which results in me frequently having to change my nail polish color. Here are a few colors I haven’t been able to stay away from this Spring.

The color above is Wild Child by Funky Fingers.

The colors below from left to right are: Secret Story, Tart Deco, Case Study, and Borrowed & Blue. All nail lacquers are by Essie.

Do you have any nail polish color addictions?
