Hi Everyone!

My friend, entrepreneur and Mary Kay rep Sarah (link to her page here)  Posted a Youtube video of on the best way to do Ombre nails (view video here)  I liked it so much I took the challenge.  These are the polishes I used to recreate this mani.  Pure Nail Lacquer's  Virtuous and Honesty and Krafty Gurl's Platinum. (note: Platinum is not yet available on our site)

I used two coats of the light pink Virtuous as a base for all 10 nails.  Then with a cosmetic sponge, I sponged on the Honesty polish until I achieved the look that I wanted.  Once that was dry.  I sparingly used on coat of the Platinum and one coat of Seche Vite topcoat.  Below are the results.  Tell me what you think?

Swatch and Review, Pure Nail Lacquer - Loving Me

Hi Everyone!

As to no surprise and for obvious reasons, I'm a HUGE supported of indie polish and polish designers.  I've started my own collection of my favorite indie polishes and thought I'd start off my first review with a designer I recently ran across through Instagram.  Pure Nail Lacquers.  Pure is owned by Danielle who is the sweetest sweetest person, although I've only corresponded with her via IG and email, I can already tell if I ever met her in person, she'd be the same as she is "virtually".

My first swatch from her collection is "Loving Me".  (Excuse my short nails, I'm still in recovery from LONG term acrylic nail use)  This polish is a beautiful light purple, not quite lavender, almost mauvy creme color.  I paired it with Krafty Gurl's "City View" from our Fall Collection.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE these polishes.  I really could have just done 1 coat of this polish and be done with it.  That's how smooth and pigmented it is.  I did two coats on this swatch for good measure and one sparingly done coat of City View.  I wanted the glitter to be an accent only as I wanted the polish to really show through.  I'm really looking forward to collecting more of Danielle's line, she has some amazing colors at unbelievable prices.  Each polish is $5 for a full sized bottle and you can get them here at: www.purebeautyshoppe.myshopify.com

Meet "Sea Glass"

I just can't seem to capture all the facets in this glitter.  It's such a complex mix.  I used various sized hex  and square in aqua, mint, lime, pastel blue and green and for that glass effect a touch of iridescent glitters.  I am so in love with this one.  It was inspired from my recent day trip to the Gulf beachside here in Florida.  Just goes to show, all encounters and every part of your life can be an inspiration for creativity.   Ill have this up on the Etsy shop soon.  Stay tuned for the next one :)
