Back when I used to review products, I tried to select things that I would use beyond the initial review. This tag tracks when an item sent for review is used. To see only the initial reviews, check out the review tag.
[press sample] Today the color is pink! (And mustard, which I think looks fantastic combined with pink.) Born Pretty’s “Cosmos Bouquet” from their Candy Color stamping polish set is that perfect pink between this might be red and dark enough to work perfectly against white and black backgrounds. Here’s my Read More
A simple nail art today with a super bright shade of red. I am enjoying the #pantone2019winterchallenge since its polish swatch focus forces me to stop piling more details in on a single nail art. Today’s shade is Cranberry, although Ine (@inegeek) has already posted the prompt for next week: Read More
[press sample] I went pink today with as much Halloween cuteness as possible. And what could be better than piling on iridescent glitter and some review items from Beauty BigBang: mermaid sequins in the form of stars and moons (J9735), opal rhinestones (J4197-5C) and a rhinestone glue gel to keep Read More
[press sample] Today I bring you my other favorite nail art of this season. You know I adore things that glow in the dark. I wore this for as long as I could and it was still hard to convince myself to remove it. But the tip wear was getting Read More
Today I get to play with a theme that I love but haven’t really tried yet: eyes! So, thanks, @glamnailschallenge! Now someone else needs to give me an excuse for more eyeball nail art because I have more to give in this area. I think it should be obvious that Read More
[press sample] I’m always excited when spider or bug prompts show up. So today’s design jumped ship from @clairestelle8’s Halloween prompts to @glamnailchallenge’s spider prompt. I really wanted to explore some ugly prettiness and neutral shades with just a touch of color. So I painted in all neutrals and ended Read More
[press sample] Today I’m reviewing two items from Born Pretty: a golden stamping polish called “In Fire” and a their space-themed Outer Space-L001 stamping plate. For my design I tried to cover all three uses of the polish: base, stamping, and filling in the stamping. The cat on my middle Read More
[press sample] Somehow, my timing really worked out. I finished my 6-week Zentangle drawing journey only a few days ago and what should arrive but my latest review package from Beauty BigBang. I was excited to play with all the new shinnies so today we’re looking at a lovely 12-grid Read More
Oh boy do those cats talk. Especially at night when you’re trying to sleep. Then they go yodeling around the house as if they are looking for you even though you are where you always are…in bed trying to sleep through their insanity. Now I’m the lucky one because I Read More
[press sample] Wow. I can’t believe I’ve reached the end of my reviews. Having to stop painting my nails because I was reacting to the fumes really backed everything up and now reviewing feels like the new norm. I picked this last polish because I found the khaki-looking nature of Read More
