Hello, hello! Can you believe it’s already the first week of April? Every time April rolls around, I get the urge to revisit The Wasteland: “April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.” I have always loved Modernist poetry and literature with a fiery passion and wish I had more time to just read. This April, I have a few monthly polishes to share with you, one of them being Colors by Llarowe Spring Forward which is the Polish of the Month for April 2018. Let’s take a look at the polish below.

China Glaze Xpress-Ahh! – #vintagepolishfriday
I don’t think that I have ever been a fan of a simple brown color for my nails. The closest I ever came to it was when I became obsessed with Tom Ford Bitter Bitch strictly because of the name. Do you remember when I wrote up my April Fool’s post regarding this polish? Oh boy, that was pretty funny especially the comments. Feel free to check it out here. Now, the reason why I’m talking about brown polish is because I have an interesting polish for Vintage Polish Friday that just happens to be brown: China Glaze Xpress-Ahh! Let me show you what I did with it below. Continue reading “China Glaze Xpress-Ahh! – #vintagepolishfriday”
KBShimmer Fig-Get About It
I made it through the weekend, and I survived Saturday at Chuck E. Cheese’s with my brats. Jonas was on his best behavior for a while, but it seems that he gets very shy when he is the center of attention. When we started singing to him so he could blow out his candles, he started crying! I think he just felt overwhelmed with all of the attention because he got over it fairly quickly once we moved on. He was also crazy scared of Chuck E. Cheese and refused to touch him when he came out for the birthday dance. It was pretty funny, and I got plenty of pictures and videos. Besides that, I didn’t have too much going on this weekend and spent a couple of hours swatching a few polishes. As you may recall, last week KBShimmer announced their rebranding. I think it’s gorgeous and am so happy that the polishes come in boxes now–they have such a luxe feel to them. I was able to pick out a few polishes from the core collection to share with you since they are now all rebranded in the new bottles. The shade I have for you today is KBShimmer Fig-Get About it. Let me show you some swatches below. Continue reading “KBShimmer Fig-Get About It”
Pueen Transparent Soft Stamper
Do you remember the first time you heard about nail stamping? For me, it was around 2010/2011, and I was just starting out with my true nail polish obsession. I had always loved getting my nails done and enjoyed the process of being pampered. In fact, I started getting acrylics because I wanted to kick the nail/cuticle biting habit, and it actually worked! Once I was past that, I started getting weekly manicures and then started buying polish. Who could have imagined that I would end up with thousands of bottles? I do believe that I discovered stamping on youtube and quickly bought a bunch of stuff from Amazon–all Konad. I actually still use the same Konad stamper that I’ve had for like 7 years! I know that stamping has grown in popularity, and we now have many options; one of those options being clear stampers. I have hesitated trying them because I am a creature of habit, but I recently bit the bullet and purchased the Pueen Transparent Soft Stamper. Is it a winner or a dud? Let’s read below to find out!
