Swatch From Pure Nail Lacquers - Virtuous

Hi Everyone!

I keep telling myself, my nails will grow eventually, and they've grown out quite a bit since I decided to go all natural, about 1/2 way up the nailbed.  I want to focus on natural nail care and maintenance.  Have I had thoughts of going back to pretty acrylics??  Oh yea, for sure, but I made the commitment and am moving forward. :)

For the last week or so, we've been featuring polishes from the fabulous Pure Nail Lacquer line.  Today I decided to use Virtuous.  This is a creamy sheer baby pastel pink.  I can so see this being paired in a reverse french mani or used as a base for a bold/pastel design.  It's a semi sheer/opaque look in two coats which is what I used in the pictures below and I paired it up with one coat of Krafty Gurl's Pink Palooza which is one of our "confetti" type glitters in hot pink black and white. (the bold/pastel look)  What do you all think?

Swatch from Pure Nail Lacquers - Sea Breeze

Hi Everyone!

I'm not going to review the rest of the collection I purchased from Pure, however, I'll be swatching the colors I received.  This one is Sea Breeze.  A beautiful sky blue creme.  I paired it with Krafty Gurl's Summer Days and now I feel like going to the beach!!  I had these two on my mind together since I first saw the color on Danielle's site.  I'm pleased that what I had visualized really works well together.  Remember, click on the link to purchase any of Pure Nail Lacquers line.

Meet "Classy Camo"

I had hoped to get this one out before Memorial Day, but as a homeschooling Mom the end of the school year can be super busy and just downright nutso!  This definitely was inspired by the many Heroes in my life.  My Dad, uncles, cousin, all my brother in laws, 2 of my sister in laws are all veterans of the military.  There's nothing plain about this one though, it's jam packed with miss green, light green, chartreuse, golden sand and bronze hex glitters in a variety of shapes and sizes.  Ladies this ones a sparkler!!

I'm Back!

Well, it's been what it seems like forever since I've been back using the blog.  It's been an adventurous year filled with ups and downs.  But as the song goes... "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" right?!

Anyhoos..... January 2013 I decided I needed a new adventure in my life, so when I was in one of my deep thought sessions with myself, I felt I needed to go back to what I enjoyed doing most.  In 1995, I went to beauty school to become a Nail Technician.  I worked in a local salon for quite a while and then life got busy and complicated and I needed something a bit more stable in my life and pursued other income avenues.  It wasn't surprising to many that when I decided to embark on this new journey it would involve nail art.  I've always enjoyed it and being a crafty person at heart, it is another creative outlet for me.  Thus the Krafty Gurl Nail Dazzle glitter polish line was born.  I'm loving interacting with bloggers, self proclaimed nail polish addicts and women all over the world who have a love of nail lacquer.

The intention of this blog is to become the center point, joining all my other social media resources together.  I'll be posting here first, before I post anywhere else.  So stay tuned for some great contests, giveaways, debut products, reviews and new projects.

Thank you for your support and encouragement!
