Fall Leaves Nails

Hello again!

It has been absolutely forever since I did a nail art design, and I really apologize! I've been caught up with balancing school and a bunch of other things. But I have not forgotten about nail art, and I've been doing my best to catch up!

I really wanted to do a nail design for fall, so I decided to do this french tip design with leaves and a chevron accent!

China Glaze "Keep Calm, Paint On" Swatch and Review

Hello everyone!

Today I have another swatch and review for you! I received China Glaze "Keep Calm, Paint On" in my recent haul from Live Love Polish.

In case you don't know, Live Love Polish is new an online nail shop. They offer great brands like China Glaze, Model's Own, NCLA, Color Club, and more from all over the world! The best part is that Live Love Polish guarantees authenticity for each polish, so you don't have to worry about getting knockoffs. They get their products directly from the brands rather than unreliable discount suppliers that could be selling fake, defective or expired nail polishes. Live Love Polish also has fast shipping, and yes, it is international!

"Keep Calm, Paint On" is a light green/mint green creme with a subtle silver shimmer. This polish is sooo pretty and the little bit of shimmer is only slightly noticeable but it makes a huge difference. It is so beautiful!

I Got a Helmer!

Hi everyone! :)

My nail polish storage has significantly changed over the past few months. I went from storing them all in a jumble inside a plastic container, to filling my huge desk drawer with them, and now to a Helmer!

As you could probably guess, I kind of keep running out of space for my polish. #nailpolishaddictproblems.... Before I picked up this Helmer, the bottom drawer in my desk was completely lined with polish; not an inch to spare.

I took a trip to Ikea (which was pretty intimidating) and by some miracle was able to find the Helmer pretty easily. I was convinced we were going to get lost! :) I chose not to buy it online because I wanted to see the Helmer before I bought it, and to be honest I needed more storage pretty quickly... No time for shipping! 

China Glaze "Too Yacht to Handle" Swatch and Review

Hello everyone!

I'm back with another swatch from the polishes that I got from Live Love Polish!

(More info about Live Love Polish can be found on my last blog post and at the bottom of this one)

I have been so excited to try out this one! I've been eyeing "Too Yacht to Handle" for a long time. I love blue-green colors and I have been wanting to add this one to my collection!

(Oh, and if you haven't already noticed, my nails keep getting shorter and shorter. My squares have been breaking like crazy on the corners!)

"Too Yacht to Handle" is a bright aqua/teal creme that leans more towards blue in brighter lights and more towards green in darker lights. I am wearing 3 coats with top coat in the photo above, and it is shown in natural lighting. As you can see, the green tones really come through in the slightly darker lighting.

The first swatch I have decided to share with you is LVX "Aster" I had never heard of this brand before, but I was pleased to find out that this they are 5 free, cruelty free and vegan. Their polishes are also unfortunately a bit pricey: $16 a bottle. But, when seeing the price it is important to keep the quality in mind, and this polish doesn't disappoint.
