Pepperoni Pizza Nail Polish! - Leesha's Lacquer

Hey there everybun!

Long time no see!

Guess what I have for you all today? Some awesome, bitchin' pizza nails, that's what!

This is Pepperoni Pizza from my Foodie's Paradise Collection. It's a crelly that is opaque in 2 coats, but requires the dab and place method due to the large size of glitters. I put a BUTTLOAD of glitter in this, about 3 to 4 times more than normal, so there's tons of little pepperonis to go around.

My Foodie's Paradise Collection is available for pre-order NOW, in my shop.

Leesha's Lacquer is 5-free, Cruelty Free and Vegan. We offer both Full sizes ($7) and Minis ($3.50).

We also ship worldwide!

Thanks for stopping by everybun!

KKCenterhk Review - N.NAIL Star Neon Pink 2mm Studs

*product sent to me to review in exchange for my honest opinion

Hey there, everybun. 

I totally KILLED it at the Craft Show on Saturday and made some connections with others that I hope will get my business growing even more.

I had tons of fun but I only got one picture of my booth that I'll post at the end.

Continuing my "good blogger" streak, I have for you today a stellar (haha!) review of some star studs from KKCenterhk. I've reviewed studs like these in the past, and now I want all the colors because they're so fun to use!

Shooting stars, anyone?

Yes, that's right, in all of my super creative creativity I've come up with these cute little shooting stars.

These are 2mm Star Studs, which were perfect for this design that I did with striping tape.

Rainbow French Tips

Hey everybunny!

Happy Friday!

I, for whatever reason on Wednesday, decided it was an opportune time to do all of my nails. Now I usually don't do all of my nails because I usually only get to wear them all for a day or so before I have to take them off and do them again. I generally have mismatched nails because I hate to go bare so it's nail art and designs for the blog on the left, and whatever color I'm feeling on the right. But for these past few days? My nails have been a match made in nail polish heaven!

I just grabbed for cremes and I'm not certain what the colors were. I was hoping to finish the rainbow with purple but not all of my nails cooperated in line even-ness. 

These were soooo fun to make and to look at! I got so many compliments and basked in the glory when I told whoever complimented me that YES, I MADE THESE!

I'm so proud!

See you all Monday for some more polish fun!

Rambles of a Polish Addict Guest Post #2

 

Hi y'all! I'm Katherine from over at Rambles of a Polish Addict and Leesha asked me recently if I could do a guest post for her while she was away on vacation, and I came up with this fun dream catch nail art for you. Leesha reached out to me recently when my bunny passed away (sad face) and sent me a custom polish in Foofy's honor, which I've included in this mani as well.

 

For this look I used Sinful Colors Hazard as the base color. And two coats of the polish Leesha sent me on the ring finger for an accent. Just two coats and the glitter was nearly fully overing the base color, it's a total glitter bomb! Packed sooo full with all that glitter and it all looks so pretty on the nail, I love it.

 

 

For the rest of the details I did them all with acrylic paints in various colors and a tiny little detail nail art brush. It took me a while to think of something when Leesha asked if I'd like to do a guest post, of course I said yes right away, but then thinking of what to do.. that was harder. But then I thought of something I've been wanting to do for a while and never could find a reason to. And I also wanted to be sure it would be something different than what's been on my own blog lately, and since I've never done dream catchers and have been wanting to, it was perfect!

 

So I hope you all enjoy themeven if they were more bright and summery than necessary for these winter months.

Thanksgiving Gradient

First of all, I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving if you're celebrating it and if you're not, have a Super Okay Thursday !

I did some pretty cool turkey nail art last year, but this year I got lazy and decided to just do a gradient because it's easiest. So here it is! It doesn't even bare a slight resemblance to anything thanksgiving related (unless you count cooking over a fire?), but it's all my lazy butt churned out!

In real life, the gradient looks much more smoothly transitioned, but here you can't even see the light orange that leads from the yellow to the darker orange.

Hopefully you all have a much prettier and more successful Thanksgiving mani and most of all, I hope you all pig out for me!

I will sadly be going to the early Black Friday sales that begin at 6, so imma have to stuff myself early.

Have a lovely Thanksgiving, ya'll!

KKCenterhk Review - Rabbit Water Decals

*This product was sent to me for review

Hello everybun! I have a lovely product to review from KKCenterhk, once again! Today I have for you the item by the name of N.NAIL Forest Rabbit Bunny Deer Bambi Squirrel Hamster Apple . The title, however deceivingly long it is, is actually just super cute images of a bunch of rabbits, some deer, some squirrels and apples as well as mushrooms and coconuts? I think they're coconuts. But anyways, the images are all super cute.!

Here is what it looks like

This was my first time using water decals. I looked up a tutorial on YouTube. But for those of you who don't know, basically it goes down like this.

1) Cut out the image you want

2) Take the plastic off of the top (just like a temporary tattoo!)

3) Submerge the image you cut out fully in a container of water (I used a mini cup) for about 20 seconds

4) Take the image out of the water and use your thumb to slide it off

5) Press the image down onto your nail and well-ah!

I crinkled a few of these images and was happy to see that they smoothed out as long as I fixed them quickly

This is without top coat, as I wanted to see how long they would last. (I was also afraid that seche might ruin it, turns out it doesn't!) And they lasted a few hours of me cleaning, taking a bath and doing dishes, with minimal scratches.

 These are $2.56 plus shipping. I LOVED these as my first experience with water decals!

The colors are almost exactly what they look like in real life now!

Wooo , have a floral frenchie as a celebration!

Sinful Colors - Slate
Sinful Colors - Black on Black
Sinful Colors - Unicorn
Sinful Colors - Island Coral

I'm excited, are you all as excited as I am? :D

Light em' up, up, up. I'm On FIIAH!

Man I LOVE that song, it was an inspiration for these babies..

Yes, that is right! I'm throwin' some fire nail art your way!

I've been LOVING my migi nail art pens that I just bought at the state fair this year, so of course I was just messing around and used them for these nails. My nails look SO PINK in these pictures and I have no idea why..I just added a fresh coat of acrylic so that may be the culprit..

Anywho, I've done a crap ton of nail art this past week so prepare yourselves for some nail art over load!

Tape Mani

Hey everybun!

I know I've been absent for quite some time now. Well, I promise this week I'll pull myself together and get some fresh mani's out there. I've just been super busy with making all the things for the craft show. From nail polish racks, to tshirts and nail sets and polish AND EVERYTHING!

But have no fear, a back up mani is here!

This is a simple tape mani I've had floating around in my unposted folder.

I'll see you all soon with a halloween mani!

KKCenterhk BLUESEA Rainbow Bowtie Review

Hello everybun!

I'm super duper excited because today I have a product to review from KKCenterhk. 

I received two items to review and today I will be reviewing their 

*   BLUESEA Bowtie Rainbow Colours Nail Art Decoration [BLUESEA-VB03D]

Click the link above to see what I'm talkin' bout! 

Speaking of that, I noticed right when I got these cute little bowties that they look to be blue, yellow and pink in their picture, but in person they actually look green, yellow and pink.

That is no matter for what I had in mind for these BUT it is something to remember when purchasing this product. Of course, all computer monitors vary in color, but keep in mind in person these look green, yellow and pink.  

HELLO KITTY!!!!!!!

Yes, my love for hello kitty drove me to these bows the minute I saw them! They are obviously a little large (they do not lay flat on the nail), so they're not very practical for everyday wear, but for a night out these would be a lovely decoration. The exact sizing is 10mmX6mmX2mm.

On their page it says to use a little glue, but I just used my seche vite top coat and they're actually really sturdy. I've been wearing these for 3 hours now and have done various activities from putting on a jacket (a hello kitty jacket!) to eating and typing and these lovelies have yet to fall off.

The colors I used were

Finger Paints - Watermelon

ULTA - Limelight

Julep - Abbie

Sinful Colors - Snow Me White

and
Wet n Wild - Ebony Hates Chris

These Bowties retail for $4.00 for 2 bows. Shipping rates vary by weight. And WOO you can use them on acrylics, natural nails and uv nails.

Mia Secret Crackle - White

Hi everybun!

Looking at these nails now, don't they remind you of tie dye? Or those tie dye fruit roll ups? Mmmm, I love fruit roll ups...

Underneath this Mia Secret Crackle in White, is actually a failed ikat design. I got angry with it and reached for the closest thing to cover this up, which turned out to be the Mia Secret! I had previous issues with other crackles I used NOT crackling enough and after a rough patch in my crackle relationship I decided out of exasperation to give it another go.

Somethin' musta worked right because look at the lovely little crackles this produced! Yeesh do all the layers of polish make my nails look thick though. This was actually the Julep - Abbie that I had on about a week ago. It took 4 coats for opacity so on top of the numerous other coats (failed ikat design, top coat, crackle, top coat) of course my nails looked faker than fake!

Oh well, the design is pretty anyway! 

Have a lovely Thursday and I'll see you all tomorrow with the ER31DC!

Julep - Abbie

Hello all!

I was totally going to do nail art for today but for all the work I had to do to apply Julep - Abbie, I just had to do a swatch review!

My dog, (yes I meant to type Dog! Believe in the power of Dog and all shall be forgiven!) do these look thick don't they? That's because I was dumb and believed I would achieve full opacity without using a white base. This was 4 coats! And look at the bottle! I used this polish once before on one nail (my ducky nail from my animal nails last week) and now look at it! It's almost half gone!

I swear my my nails did not look this thick after I did my acrylics!

I have some nail art planned for this, I wouldn't want to waste all of that polish and not make something pretty out of it!

So word from the wise! DO NOT use Abbie alone! Use white as your base coat and then use Abbie, trust me it will save you another manicures worth of  polish!

Happy Monday! And remember, this Wednesday will see a lack of nail art because the giveaway is will be set to go!

Polka Spots

Hi everyone!

I'm racing the clock because I completely blanked on an idea for today's mani!

Then I remembered Sophie was having a competition that involved polka spots and the randomness began!

I also went on a huge China Glaze haul today because Sally's is having a buy 2 get 1 free through the month of April.

So here it is!

The colors I used in rainbow order were :

China Glaze - Passion for Petals

China Glaze - Celtic Sun

China Glaze - For Audrey

China Glaze - Fancy Pants

I also had a random easter egg laying around that sort of matched and this happened :

I love my little polka spots!

Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge - Day 3

It's Day 3 (which is really week three) of the Extra Relaxed 31 Day Challenge. The First thing I thought of when I heard yellow was Bumble Bees! So Bumble Bees it is!

For the Yellow I used the Yellow that came with my Beautifully Bright 3 piece set from Elf.

and the Black is Nina Ultra Pro - Black

I used my trusty fine point sharpie for the little Buzz's

Here's a shot without the buzz's, which I think looks way to empty!

No mani so far has made me look forward to summer so much! Even though bees are terrifying, they remind me so much of swimming at the lake and that, I do miss!

Be sure to check out everyone else's Yellow nails today!
