Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the weekend. :) I recently got this VIP gift box from People Magazine as a Klout perk. It was really well put together, and I'm enjoying a lot of the stuff in it, so I thought I'd share them with you.

[Review + Swatch] Zoya Magical Pixie - Summer 2014

Press Sample Affiliate Links

Hi guys! I'm excited to share Zoya's newest Magical Pixie collection with you today. These textures are just like the ones released in spring, but with much better formulas this time. It's still a chunky texture, but the formula was perfect. Not all thick and goopy like the spring collection, but thin and easy to use.

[Nail Art] Mani Swap with Vaniliamamor

Hi everyone! I recently did a mani swap with the lovely Bella of Vaniliamamor. This was actually my first time doing a mani swap! I was drawn to this mani Bella did inspired by Zachary Brown's painting: "Lilli’s Poppies". This is my version of it. :)

Polishes Used

OPI Coca-Cola Red

Milani White On The Spot

Zoya Suri

Barielle First Class Ticket

Sinful Colors black striping polish

I think I could have done a better job with the ring finger, but overall I love how this turned out. Who knew mani swaps could be so much fun? Apparently everyone but me. -.- *makes mental note to do more*

If you'd like to see which mani of mine Bella recreated, visit her blog here! Thank you, Bella for doing this with me! ^^

Until next time,

[Pretty Jelly x Sticky Nails Collaboration] Maleficient Inspired Polish + Stencil Sets

Hi everyone! Hope you're all enjoying your Memorial Day weekend! I have some more exciting news from Pretty Jelly, so I wanted to share them with you.

I've been working behind-the-scenes with another Iona of Sticky Nails to create Maleficient inspired polish and stencil sets. You can see the stencils below, but they're super detailed and easy to work with. Iona was so wonderful to work with and so amazingly talented! I'm really excited to finally reveal these sets to you.

We created these sets to pay homage to the upcoming release of Maleficient. One of the sets is inspired by Maleficient, while the other is inspired by Princess Aurora. We named the sets after the Once Upon A Dream song, and the dark new rendition by Lana Del Rey.

The following images are courtesy of Sticky Nails.

Enlarge this pic to see all the stencil images!

The I Know You set comes with a blackened green linear holo and a sheet of stencils featuring iconic images of Maleficient like her headdress, crow, and dragon transformation. This set will be sold exclusively at Sticky Nails Etsy store.

This one's Once Upon A Dream on my nails. It's a light blue linear holo with pink sparkles reminiscent of Aurora's dress. This set also includes a sheet of whimsical stencils with images like forest animals, flowers, crowns, and dresses. Once Upon A Dream is available exclusively at the Pretty Jelly Etsy store.
