Born Pretty Store Bear Dispenser Review!

Hey everyone, today I have a quick review of a product from Born Pretty Store to share!

Last night there was a meteor shower, so we went out to my grandma's farm and laid on the sundeck to watch it. It was really cool to see but I went to sleep before it was over because I'm a bit of a grandma myself! Anyway, onto the nails!

I picked up this bear dispenser to put nail polish remover in for easier nail polish removal. I have used it for many months and I really love it! It can spray out a little wildly so to avoid any mess I just put the cotton pad right up against the spout.

The best thing about this is that I don't have to open one of my huge bottles of nail polish remover and risk spilling it. I have accidentally left this on its side on a desk and I'm happy to report it didn't spill!

Another plus about this is that it's quite cute! As you may know, pink is my least favourite colour so I hoped to get any other colour (the colour you receive is random), but it is still cute!

If you want to pick this, or any other nail art stuff up, be sure to use my 10% off code; SKBQ10!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back soon with some holographic circle glitter nails, happy Friday!

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review Featuring Sexy Black Lace!

Hello everyone! Today I have some fancy black lace nails and a Born Pretty Store review to share!

So I'm back to school now and finally back to blogging! We've all been pretty sad since Anna (our Swiss sister) left so it's been hard to be motivated to do anything. I'm trying to get some motivation because I'll definitely need it for school!

Onto the nails!

I started out stamping one of the designs from the plate BP02 with American Apparel Hassid. I couldn't always get the whole image to transfer, but I was having trouble with a stamper I'm not used to so that was probably why.

Next, I went in with a very sheer black polish that I mixed up for the look. You can hardly tell so before I use it next time I'll add more black!

I then went in with Hassid on a small paintbrush and added the curved blobs on the sides of a few of my nails. A coat of top coat (Essie Good to Go) and I was done!

I think this plate worked very well. I am a very inexperienced stamper and it still turned out pretty awesome-looking! I love the flowery lace designs that come on the plate and I think I'll be using it again!

What do you guys think of this look or the stamp design specifically? I love both!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with some red and yellow colour blocking very soon! Happy Friday! =)

Doctor Lacquer Testosterone Swatch & Review!

Hello everyone! Today I have an adorable thermal polish from Doctor Lacquer to share!

Today I have a quick post with lots of pictures for you guys! I'm still not caught up on here and I'm really not caught up on most of my other social media accounts so hopefully I can finally get caught up soon.

Anyways, onto the nails!

What you see here is three easy coats of Testosterone. It dried matte/satin and so freaking fast which was awesome! By the time I finished a coat on one hand the other hand was completely dry which was crazy to me! It had a great formula and was so easy to work with.

This polish is a cold-sensitive thermal, meaning it will only change colour if it gets colder than room temperature (hence why my nails and the bottle are blue). Because of this, I didn't see it turn purple unless I held my nails in ice water for about thirty seconds.

Here it is transitioning from cold (purple) back to warm (blue). Look at those adorable glitters! It's really cool that the purple glitters almost blend in to the polish when it's cold, it gives the polish a totally different look!

I absolutely loved wearing this polish. I've been pining for these polishes since they came out so I'm so happy to own the whole Hormonal Efficiency collection now!

What do you guys think of this polish or Doctor Lacquer in general? I'm madly in love with both already!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I'll be back with some negative space glitter nails and some negative space dry brush nails! Happy Thursday guys! :)

Born Pretty Store Nail Polish Remover Dish Review!

Hello everyone! Today I have a review of a super cute little dish from Born Pretty Store to share!

Today is my boyfriend's birthday and we've had a relaxing day of board game playing and sitting outside in the Sun. We are going to my favourite restaurant tonight for dinner which is also super awesome! It's a Japanese place if you're wondering. The plan for after dinner is to play more board games and watch more Avatar so it seems like today will continue to be lovely!

Onto the review!

I love this thing (link) because I used to use the lid of my acetone bottle, and this way I can close my acetone (after pouring some in here) which is a lot safer! It is easy to clean and with the lid on it seems to keep the acetone from evaporating away as quickly. The lid doesn't seal the container and it actually can spin around and sit in any orientation relative to the bottom (see above picture where it doesn't appear to be on correctly). I received this container a few months ago and there hasn't been a time that I haven't used it since!

Do you guys use any little containers like this while you're cleaning up? I am so glad I picked it out to review because I know I'll get a ton of use out of it! Also, it's on sale right now for $4.24 USD which is pretty cool!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! If you'd like to pick this or any nail art stuff up be sure to use my code for 10% off; SKBQ10!

Happy Saturday guys! :)

Elevation Polish Yeti's Healing Vibes Swatch & Review!

Hello everyone! Today I have a gorgeous charity polish for Nepal to share!

I chopped off my nails yesterday like I do, but since I'm still a bit behind you won't be seeing them for a while! I really should pick the length I like the most and maintain it but I never seem to do that. What do you guys think of my nails always changing lengths? Would you prefer if my nail length was consistent or does it not bother you?

Anyways, onto the nails!

What you see here is just one coat of Elevation Polish Yeti's Healing Vibes and a coat of top coat! That in itself tells you that this polish had a great formula! I'm loving these multichrome flakie cremes lately, I picked up another one called Cloud Peak in the same order that you will be seeing at some point!

I seemed to have trouble getting these pictures in focus and I guess I didn't clean up the top coat near my cuticles. I feel like I didn't do this polish justice so maybe I'll wear it again and take better pictures soon!

What do you guys think of Elevation Polish or this polish specifically? I really love this brand. I feel like all of the colours come in the exact shades that I love the most!

Thanks so much for taking a look guys! I'll be back tomorrow with some sunset nail art! Happy Monday! =)

Nicole by OPI I'm Stucco On You Swatch & Review!

Hey everyone! Today I have a swatch and quick review of a gorgeous purple textured polish to share!

Anna and I have been doing the 30 Day Yoga Challenge by Yoga with Adriene and it has been so nice! I was up being sick last night but by this evening I was feeling okay enough to do it. I'm glad I didn't fail already on day five :P!

Anyways, onto the nails!

What you see here is one coat of NOPI I'm Stucco On You and no top coat! The formula on all of these Roughles polishes is great, so easy to work with (not too thick like some textured polishes) and very opaque! Also, these pictures were taken on day four which is pretty amazing! Some slight tip wear and no chips!

What do you guys think of the Roughles collection or textured polishes in general? I'd love to know!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with tons of nail art, hopefully just about once a day! Happy Saturday! :)

Girly Bits Cosmetics Hoop! There It Is Collection Swatch & Review!

Hey everyone! Today I have swatches of the Girly Bits Hoop! There It Is collection to share!

All of the swatches are without top coat except for the glitter topper; You Spin Me Round. Excuse my peely nail beds in some of the pictures (I really should have just used top coat)! I would describe the polishes as crellies for the most part, though a few are definitely cremes. I'll try to describe their true colours because as we all know, photographing neons accurately is a major challenge!

I had no issues with the formula so all of the polishes were lovely to use! The cremes/crellies all dried down to a satin finish which is always cool!

Here is a picture of the collection taken with my phone. Sadly, my phone does a way better job at capturing the colours accurately than my sister's Canon Rebel that I use for pictures. I would say these colours are all very accurate except for the middle pink, You're My Hooper Hero, as it is more orange-toned in real life.

Onto the swatches!

First up we have the collection's namesake; Hoop! There It Is! It is a neon coral polish that is a tad more orange and even more bright in person! Shown here is two coats!

Next up we have These Hips Don't Lie! THDL is a highlighter yellow polish that is brighter and a little bit more green in person. I used three coats for the opacity you see here!

Here we have Hooperchondriac, a neon yellow-toned green polish. This one is showing up way too pale and not yellow-toned enough in these pictures. Shown here is three coats!

Next we have Hip Hoop Hurray!, a warm-toned purple! This picture is bang-on colour-wise except for the fact that it is a little darker in person. This was two coats!

Here we have You're My Hooper Hero, a bright warm-toned pink shade! Again, this one is a little more orange than either cameras would like to capture. Shown is three coats!

Here we have Don't Paddle Break A Nail, a cool-toned pink. This one is a little darker in person and this was two coats!

Next up we have I've Got High Hoops, a medium blue! This one looks pretty good except it's a bit darker and a smidge less purple in person. Shown is two coats!

Here we have three coats of It's Hoop To Be Square, a pale yellow-toned green ! This one is looking a little too pale and maybe the tiniest bit more yellow than in real life.

Next we have Get Indie Flow, a blue-toned purple polish! This one also looks bang on except it is a little too pale! Shown is two coats!

Here we have two coats of Thump Your Melons, a medium-toned orange! In real life this polish is a bit lighter and less yellow-toned.

Lastly, we have You Spin Me Round, a clear-based glitter topper with white, black and holographic microglitters! This is one coat of YSMR and a coat of top coat over Hip Hoop Hurray!!

Overall I really love this collection. I'm happy to add some neons to collection because I really don't have many! What do you guys think of these polishes? I have about five more posts to get up so I better get on them before I get more behind! Happy Tuesday guys! :)

Polished by KPT Bleu Is Beautiful Swatch & Review!

Hey everyone! Today I have a gorgeous Polished by KPT thermal polish to share!

I found out yesterday that I may have an awesome opportunity to volunteer in a lab at my school this summer! Nothing is finalized yet but I'll let you guys know what becomes of it! I may even be doing it full time until my friend Anna gets here! I'm really freaking excited!!

Anyways, onto the many pictures!

What you see here is two easy coats and a coat of top coat! The formula was a little thicker than most polishes but I like that, and despite doing thick coats it dried down flat! So it has great self-level and all that! It also dried to a satin matte finish which was cool, but I added a coat of top coat for maximum wear.

Above is the polish at it's warmest. It has the prettiest, glowiest shimmer that looks amazing at any temperature!

And here it is at it's coldest! I personally prefer it this way because I'm a huge fan of blue!

I really loved wearing this polish because it would range from just about the lightest to just about the darkest colour and back again over and over throughout the day. It seems to have a transition temperature range well-suited for human hands, go figure! ;)

I picked up one other polish from this brand when I made my order at Harlow and Co so expect to see a light purple holo called Lady Roxane relatively soon!

What do you guys think of this polish or this brand? Do you own any Polished by KPT beauties? I'd love to know!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I already have four more nail art posts ready to go picture-wise so I'll be back with tons of nail art! I'll be posting every second day for the next little while! Happy Thursday guys! =)
