Blog Tweaking!

I've been messing around with the blog tonight, tweaking things. Below my header banner, you'll now see a 'recent posts' bar. This will help you access recent blog posts faster, instead of having to scroll down the entire blog. You'll see 8 thumbnails, and if you hover over them you'll see the blog's title. Click on any of the thumbnails and it will bring up the post for you. Let me know what you think! :-)

Rouge Louboutin by Christian Louboutin

For my birthday my husband got me Rouge Louboutin, by Christian Louboutin. I know, I know... you're saying $50 for a nail polish?! I wanted it for the aesthetic appeal, and because it makes a great collectors piece for a nail polish blogger's collection. Would I buy any of the other colors when they come out? Probably not. I just wanted this one. Sometimes it's just fun to splurge, and especially for your birthday since it only comes once a year! Some girls like shoes... I like nail polish!

This is going to be picture heavy, so please click below to read the rest of this post! 

I got my Helmer! :)

Thursday was my birthday, and one of my gifts this year was an Ikea Helmer! Coveted and utilized by almost every nail polish blogger in the blogging world. The Helmer is capable of holding 500-600 bottles of nail polish.

Picture Heavy, so more after the jump! ;-)

ILNP: Masquerade (H)

I picked up two colors from ILNP new fall collection. Masquerade (H), and Champagne Blush. (I'll show Champagne Blush another day). I've wanted the original Masquerade for awhile, but I never got around to picking it up. So I was really happy when ILNP released a holographic version with their fall collection.

Masquerade (H) is a multi chrome. It changes from Green, Pink, Red, Copper... so many pretty colors! This is 2 coats, plus Seche Vite topcoat.

Born Pretty Store: Stamp QA83 Review.

✯ PR Sample ✯

The Born Pretty Store recently sent me some items to review. One of those items was stamp plate QA83. I thought this particular plate would be perfect to try some more leadlight technique with.

I started with a base of OPI Alpine Snow. I stamped with Konad Black. Then I used my OPI Sheer Tints to fill in the design. Finished with Seche Vite. I have to say I really like this Born Pretty Store stamp plate [QA83], the etching is just right and the design stamps perfectly. I can't wait to get some more. :-)

My OPI Mini Sheer Tints,come in handy for doing leadlight stamping. I just kind of dab it on my nails, so it doesn't smear the stamp too much. I'm not perfect though... since this is only my 2nd attempt. :-p
