KKCenterHK Plaid Bow

Good morning, dolls!

I have a couple of product reviews to share with you today :)  First up is a product that I received back in June.  I tried it, took photos, edited them and then never got around to posting them *slaps hand*....

Isn't this bow super cute??  I decided to stick with the "Burberry-esque" design and I really love the way it turned out.

 Now, as adorable as these are, I have to say I had a hard time making them stay on.  Because it's such a large bow, there is a lot of exposed free edge (as you can see above).  I tried nail glue, but after about an hour I snagged it on something and it popped off :(  I think when I re-use them again, I'm going to put them closer to my cuticle so that they are more secured in place.

Name: BLUESEA Bow Shaped Brown With Checkered Nail Art Decorations

Until next time!

Julep + Trina Turk: A Match Made in Heaven

Good morning all :)  I'm pretty excited about my Julep purchases this month so I'm just going to jump right in!

For the month of September Julep has teamed up with fashion designer Trina Turk and come up with some awesome colors for the Fall.  I am the proud owner of 5 polishes out of this collection :)

L to R: Delaunay, Alma, Otte, Hoch and Annie

I'm still waiting for Gunta to come in the mail, it's a pretty royal blue :)  These polishes are cremes that all apply like a dream!  Alma is my favorite yellow that Julep has produced thus far.  Here are a couple of mani's I did using these polishes...

These two pics are of Alma and Annie combined with Revlon Calla Lilly

 3 coats Calla Lilly, 2 coats Alma and Annie...

 

 These next 2 pics are of Delaunay and Otted combined with Felicity, a gold that I received in Julep's August Maven Box :)

 Again, 2 coats of Delaunay and Otte...

Julep also added a mascara to this month's Maven boxes...

My eyelashes are quite wimpy/non-existent on there own.  This volumizing mascara worked wonders!

 Love it!

All in all I'm really pleased with this months Julep collection :)

Until next time!

Naked Nails, Products & Hauls... Oh My!

Hey there lovelies!

I don't think I've mentioned it but, along with learning / doing nail art, this is my first attempt at growing out my natural nails.  I've decided that I want to document this with pics and some comments through my blog.  I do apologize if this does not interest you in the slightest, BUT... I also will be sharing nail polish hauls and some products that I absolutely love and use on a very regular basis.  So, stick around :)

The following pics are of my left and right hands just after I removed the polish from yesterday's post...

The very first thing I noticed was that I take way better care of my left hand (the "modeling" hand) than my right hand... and that just seems a little unfair, so I shall be remedying that soon lol.  They don't look too terrible but I do have some splitting at the tips that I'm dealing with.  I bought some crystal nail files and I hope that they will correct this problem :\

I've had a couple of people ask me what happened to my left ring finger and I thought I should fill you all in.  I'm a dumb.  And a klutz. I was removing those purple fimo bows with M.A.S.H.'s super pointy nail art tweezers and I slipped... and gashed my finger pretty good.  It's healing faster than I thought and I'm sure my hand will be picture perfect again soon lol.  Now onto my polish hauls and favorite products!
