The clear stamper phenomenon has taken the world by storm from the time the very first one entered into the wild. There has since been many versions and I was super excited to get to try the clear jelly stamper from Winstonia. This hugs the curves of my nails well and doesn't hurt to stamp with it. When my nails are super long I have trouble using some of the clear stampers as they tend to be super firm (or at least the original is.)

I love these stencils! I am not good at them as you can tell by the video but I don't feel terrible using these because they are super affordable and I can just keep practicing without breaking the bank. I have many clear stampers now and I love that these are available now! That was one thing I always hated with other stampers was having to hope that I was placing things in the right place. With the clear stampers there is no more guess work and you can see where you are placing the stamp. It pairs well with the born pretty stamping polish which comes in many amazing colors.  The stamper didn't need any priming and was super easy to use. It picks up like a dream and I am super happy with it.

Madam Glam Color Changing Gel Polish

From Indigo to Blue

First up is My Boo a pretty indigo to blue color changing gel polish. For the application I used 3 coats as I found myself applying really thin coats, 2 coats did not cut it. The formula was really easy to work with and glided on the nail with ease. I am loving this combo.

CHINA GLAZE LITE BRIGHTS COLLECTION

China Glaze Lite Brights Collection

Hello!! I'm excited to share with you this recent purchase of the China Glaze Lite Brights 

Collection. I found them to be the cheapest on Ebay.

Or you can find them on amazon here.

In this Collection there is a total of 12 gorgeous colors, including creams, shimmers and two with micro glitter.

I put links to what is on amazon or if your an Ebay user you can click here. 

Hot Flash - under day light bulbs in light box

 First up is Hot Flash

This is such a gorgeous watermelon red. Its not 100% opaque, it reminds me of a jelly polish but not as sheer as one.

This is two coats with top coat.

 

Bite Me - Under day light bulbs in a light box

Next, Bite Me is a bright pink with little bit of gold shimmer that dries to a semi matte finish. Your looking at 2 coats with a top coat. 

I'll Pink to That- Under day light bulbs in a light box

I'll pink to That is pretty barbie pink with a hint of fuchsia. This is color is very opaque in two thin coats.   

Lip Smackin' Good- Under day light bulbs in a light box

Next up is Lip Smackin' Good. This is a pretty pink has a slight pink shimmer. The shimmer does not stand out to much. 

This is two coats and you will want a top coat. 

Papa Don't Peach- Under day light bulbs in a light box

Papa Dont't Peach is a coarly bright orange with gold micro glitter. Dries a bit textured, you will want a top coat to bring out the glitter and to have a smooth finish. This one was a little thick, thicker then We Got The Beet. I have 3 thin coats with a top coat.

Look at the gold micro glitter!!

None of Your Risky Business- Under day light bulbs in a light box

Next is None of your Risky Business. None of Your Risky Business is beautiful orange pastel creme. With two thin coats to be opaque with no white base topped with a top coat.

Whit it Good- Nail swatch is natural lighting

This is Whip It Good. Whip it Good is a yellow cream with hint of green. Your looking at two thin coats with a top coat. This color was hard for me to capture. 

Lime after Lime- Nail swatch is natural lighting

Lime after Lime is for sure a neon/pastel lime green. This one was streaky when I was applying. I used 3 coats with a top coat.  This color was also hard for me to capture.

What I like about Blue- Under day light bulbs w/flash in a light box

Next is What I Like About Blue. This  Blue has a gold shimmer to it and leans more towards a turquoise. This is two thin coats and dries semi matte. I used a top coat to enhance the gold shimmer.

I Got a Blue Attitude- Under day light bulbs in a light box

Next is my favorite. I got a Blue Attitude is Blue/Purple depends how how you look at it. Either way it is so pretty. I did not notice the very little shimmer until I was editing the video. 

This is two thin coats with a top coat.

Let's Jam - Under day light bulbs in a light box

I'm very excited to be sharing swatches from new indie brand Nellie Belle's with you today! Funny story, my nickname growing up was actually Nellie because my dad's bowling nickname was "Woah Nelly!". I even have a Julep polish named Nellie because of that! Back to the polishes though...

The Essie watercolor collection is one I had been drooling over since a sneak peek was posted on Instagram. I was so excited when they said they would work with me on a review for this collection. The nail art themed collection idea has been very popular this year and I have had so much fun with these collections. Jelly polish has always been one of my favorite polishes and these are no exception.

Sadly you can see that my nails lost a bit of length while I was swatching. My pinky snapped and I gave in and trimmed them all down and started the swatching again. On the longer ones I alternated between white and no base but on the shorter ones I did them over a white gel polish. On highest bidder though I only used the polish with no base.

Isn't it just the best surprise when you buy a mystery grab bag and end up with something from your wishlist? This little gem came in one I received a little while ago and I was so stoked! Lucky 13 Lacquer Life Is Short and You Are Hot has been on my wishlist for ages and I honestly don't know why I didn't get it sooner.

A long time ago in a galaxy far away I found an awesome Disney themed topper from a new to me indie brand and was lucky enough to receive a mini of it from a friend! At the time King Triton from Blue Sparrow Trinkets only came in a mini and I love minis so I was totally cool with that. Until I saw the polish in person and it blew my tiny little brain. For months it sat untried as I was afraid to use up all this awesomeness. When I finally did break down and use it I kept it on for 4 days so you know it's true love.

It had been too long since I last did a jelly sandwich, my favorite easy nail art technique. This look might have been more at home in spring instead of the summer of neons. I loved it regardless though!

This yellow from top shelf lacquer is such a gorgeous color for summer. I highly recommend it. This whole collection is amazing. The Bornprettytore plate is my go to plate. This is a plate every nail stamper needs. It features a lot of popular images. That is why I love it so much.
