Mani Monday–Ikat Gelpolish Mani with Cassidee from Sew Much Baby

by . Posted on

I had the pleasure of doing Cassidee Edmunds nails recently and loved getting to know her better! She is the most talented, sweetest girl–check out her website–it’s loaded with tons of adorable baby and mommy headbands, carseat canopies, and other absolutely darling baby accessories. All of it handmade by Cassidee!

I was racking my brain, as usual, trying to decide what theme I wanted to go with on Cassidee’s nails and finally realized that I’ve never done an Ikat mani. Which was perfect because I am in LOVE …

I am so excited about this mani! Not only are they some of my favorite nails I’ve ever done, I also got to hang out with Allison Hinson for a few hours and I have missed her so much! Here’s a cute pic of our little get together…

Isn’t she beautiful! And let me tell you, her inner beauty exceeds her outer beauty, which says a lot. Allison is quite possibly one of the kindest, sweetest, most genuine people I have ever met. And she is crazy beautiful! And an insanely …

by . Posted on

I am in love with this color scheme! I will go ahead and apologize in advance because you will probably be seeing a lot more of it! 🙂

The colors I used are as follows:
Peach–Gelish I’m Brighter Than You
Grey–Gelish Fashion Week Chic
White–OPI Alpine Snow (the best gel polish white)
Gold–Gelish Golden Treasure with loose craft glitter pressed in.

Here’s a spunky outfit to compliment the look! I’d like you to take special notice of the bag. Valentino. Enough said.

One of my favorite nail polish brands is FINALLY releasing their gel polish collection and I am super excited to try it!

www.Gelaze.com

I found out about this amazing bit of information through the ever trusty Instagram world. Here are a few pics from @ChinaGlazeOfficial

If you go to www.Gelaze.com you can find tons of information about Gelaze but to sum it up it’s going to be totally different than most gel polish brands because you don’t use a basecoat (which is similar to Bioseaweed Unity Gel Polish.) It looks like …

Bioseaweed Gel Unity All In One Gel Polish

by . Posted on

I was so excited when I got the chance to review this product. I’ve been super curious about it because the company, Bioseaweed Gel, promises it’s unlike any other gel polish on the market. I’ve tried so many brands now and can tell the subtle differences between all the brands, as I’ve mentioned in past reviews. Bioseaweed Gel Unity All In One is different because you don’t have to use a base or top coat, which I was super skeptical about, and the color coats dry hard, not tacky. Also, …

4th of July and Patriotic Nailart

I honestly love the 4th of July so much…for so many reasons. The top reason being that we live in the greatest country in the world and I love the USA so much! 🙂 My birthday might be the day before the 4th of July as well, so for as long as I can remember every time we celebrate my birthday fireworks and huge festivities are involved which always made me feel super special. My mom used to always buy me the cutest little red, …

Check out these cute, fun nails! I originally did them on my friend Tennille with Gelish gel polish and then decided to recreate them on myself with regular polish. Here is Tennilles version:

I used Make You Blink Pink by Gelish and then an assortment of bright gel polish colors for the flowers. You have to do a white base under the flowers in order to get them to really pop and stand out! 🙂

Here is my version with regular polish:

I used China Glaze Flip Flop
Fantasy for the base and then …

Gelish I’m Brighter Than You–Neon Peach Gel Polish is amazing!

I just wanted to share these adorable nails with the world!

We used Gelish I’m Brighter Than You which is a neon peach and hard to capture on photo. I then did OPI GelColor Alpine Snow on her ring finger with Young Nails Mani Q Green 101 for the chevron stripes.

When I do the chevron stripes I freehand them and do thin coats until I reach the desired effect, usually in about 3-4 coats. I use a thin striping brush …

Summer Nails with I’m Brighter Than You, Chevron, and Feathers

The new Gelish Neon Collection is PERFECT for summer! I was skeptical when I saw they were releasing another neon collection because they did the Rio Collection about two years ago and I didn’t think there was a need for more neon colors. However, there was! These neons are more like China Glazes neon …
