Something simple, something easy

I always love a mani that I could wear anytime of the day, a mani that anyone can do!


This definitely isn't one of my best but I enjoy the simplicity of this. Plus, the color combo is fun, wouldn't you agree?

PS - I will have an update soon about my recent giveaway, stay tuned!

PPS - it's my birthday tomorrow! Any polish recommendations?!

Born Pretty Store Dried Flower Nail Art Review

Hello! I'm back! Boy does it feel good to be back! I apologize for my absence but I am sure we all know how it feels like when life happens. But I am finally back!

Today I have an awesome review for you from the Born Pretty Store. Born Pretty Store is a site in which they manufacture nail art products and sell them at the best price and provide the best service. They also have free shipping worldwide!







Firstly, I have to say that I really enjoyed these little dried flowers on my nails. They are extremely unique and so delicate looking.

The dried flowers were a bit tough to apply because once I put it on, it wouldn't stay flat/curve with my nails. None the less, I absolutely love them! The nail art flowers also came in a pack of 12 different types of flower with a variety of colors but I only showcased 3 of the 12.

You can find the dried flowers nail art here. Overall, the nail art flowers were lovely. I really enjoyed these and had a lot of fun.

You can also use the code AGL91 for 10% off your entire purchase.


 Would want to try some of these?

A Break From Swatching

Since lately all I've been posting are reviews and I was out and sick for so long, I thought a break from that would be nice. I love doing reviews but nail art is just as fun!



It feels good doing some nail art again. I'm certainly not the best at it but I do enjoy it and I have fun.

For the base I used China Glaze For Audrey, for the gold glitter, I used Ulta High Roller, and that was a hot mess to clean up. For the rest of the colors, I used acrylic paints to avoid smearing and/or smudging. Anywho, I love the results and the color combo. Theres something about turquose and brown that I absolutely adore. It's like the perfect pair!

Guest Post from Did My Nails

This is so awesome - I'm just gonna get right to it!

Supposedly this lady here "claims" that she isn't too great with nail art. Say what. Tell me what you think!
 ________________________________________________________________________

Hello! My name is Elizabeth, from Did My Nails, and I'm very happy to be able to pitch in while Anna's wayward nail is in recovery. I asked if there was anything in particular she wanted me to do for this post, but her only specification was, "Surprise me!" So with free rein and in the mood to try something new, I chose Anna's adorable footprint logo as the basis for some black-and-white nail art.


 My base colours were Nfu Oh 132 (black), OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (near-white), and Zoya Dove (lt grey). There's also China Glaze Recycle (med grey) on the thumb and middle fingers. Most of the details were done with dotting tools, except for the index, which is just some narrow swipes with a striper (Orly Crisp White). And the glitter on my pinky is Ninja Polish Sticks 'n Stones, which Anna thoroughly rocked my world by sending me in a recent swap. I squeaked like a little girl when I unwrapped it. There may also have been a dance of glee. So I definitely wanted to incorporate it, along with the little footprints.


I had so much fun doing these nails! I do keep thinking I managed to dot too many toes, but they seem to add up to ten. ^_^

Say what? Isn't that little foot print on her nail the cutest thing ever? I really almost died. I truly love this so much! This just blew me out of the water!

Elizabeth, thank you so much for guest posting for me! I love your nail art, such a perfectionist! So crisp and clean looking with not a single smudge or smear!

On the other hand, my nails are growing so very slow. Sad panda.

Isn't Elizabeth's nail art fabulous?

SPOTTED! Target Salon Express

A while ago, I saw on Nouveau Cheap's blog at Rite Aid they were selling the Salon Express Nail Art Stamping Kit. I was a little bummed out because I live in the midcoast and there are certainly no Rite Aids around here. But guess what?! Earlier today as I was browsing and shopping at Target I spotted the very same Salon Express Nail Art Stamping Kit for only $9.99 (obviously with tax). I remember when I purchased my Konad Stamping Kit I bought it for roughly about $25 which ONLY contained the two way stamper + scraper (which the two way stamper was an extra $1 because it’s a two way stamper versus a regular one) along with only 3 image plates. I sort of got ripped off but I honestly love it, so I guess it’s not too bad. It was Black Friday so I kind of went crazy. However, if you live in an area where there are no Rite Aids, check out your local Target! (By the way, I purchased one for myself!) It’s only $9.99! 



The kit includes:
Nail design stamper
5 pre-designed image plates
Image plate holder
Nail polish scraper

Do you plan to pick one up yourself if you spot one?
