Image
~ What Addiction? ~ That is the - EXACT - same thing I ask when people claim I might need an "intervention." I am PERFECTLY fine, mom. πŸ™„ lololol Although, maybe I should also stop growling at people when they say I have too much polish & stop glaring when they say it's the same shade polish, when it's clearly not.🀨😀 *triggered* LOOOOL 😏😁   Aaaaaanyway, πŸ˜… I was sent a 4 piece collection called 'Speckle My Fancy' to swatch & share with you all by the amazingly sweet Ana herself. ~ Her new & upcoming Indie Nail Polish company is called What Addiction? Polish . Which is the most fitting name, actually πŸ˜‚ #SayingForAFriend 🀫πŸ€₯ Lets start with the packaging, which was not only so adorable, but very appropriately done so! The polishes came wrapped in their own individual bubble pouches, then wrapped with glitter accented tissue paper, & sealed with a cute thank you sticker. It included a business card, which...

How to Apply Loose Glitter

Image
Hey, lovelies.🌻 I am frequently asked for tips & tricks on how I apply glitter onto my nails, so I thought I'd share the wealth. In the application videos, I'll be using glitter sent to me by Wickedly Sick Nails . Let's get started!😍  I use a peel off base coat because I swatch a lot of things, & well, because it's easier to take off that way but you can use a regular base coat as well. My Favorite Regular Base Coat is all natural basecoat by OPI & my favorite top coat is a Walmart brand called PRO-FX quick dry top coat Salon formula.  I put a base coat of my choosing followed by a nail polish color similar to the one found in the glitter mix (so it won't contrast). That way, if you happen to miss a spot, it's not visible. I do 1 to 2 coats of said polish color depending on how sheer the polish is & let that completely dry. Then, I use American Classics yellow stopper. It is supposed to originally be used as a yellow...

What was the very first indie polish that you purchased? My very first indie polish was off of Etsy. I ordered those 5 polishes from @ AnnBoyarLuxuryBoutique . They made gorgeous polishes & I bought them after seeing @ NailArtByFrida PR them. Unfortunately, they are not available anymore for the time being.😣 2. What's an indie polish lemming that you want but have never been able to get your hands on? Lemming? Hold up, πŸ˜…πŸ˜Ά. "Ok, Google.πŸ€” Define lemming... ... ... ... Lmao what?

Behind the Lens : the Making of my Nail Tutorials

Behind the Lens The Making of my Nail Tutorials Hey, lovelies! 🌻    I am always messaged questions about how I make my tutorials & any tips I have to offer. After holding a poll on my Instagram story, a lot of you seemed to have wanted me to share the wealth! Which is awesome & totally happening right now, actually, as you read. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜ I got some replies asking why I was so okay with sharing my golden tricks about how to start a blog or how I make my videos... My answer - Another nail artist is not my competition. We both are passionate about the same things. We both need to succeed. If I was struggling to stay true to what I loved most (nail art) & I was stuck in a hunch, I personally know many that would do the same for me.    πŸ’žPlease know that I did my research & went through trials & errors trying to find the perfect apps that worked for me. These are the apps I have found to work best & remain stable & consistent up...
