It's been about a month since my last post, which is really crazy - I promise I will post a blog update on everything you guys have missed me posting on Instagram and YouTube (which I have been active on!) soon, but with me moving (today!!) from New Jersey to Georgia, I just haven't had time to sit down and write a blog post.

Anyway, today I'm sharing with you a new Color Club collection from HB Beauty Bar called the Desert Valley Collection.

Sugar Spun Chocolate Strawberry Nail Art

 - SOME PRODUCTS PROVIDED FOR REVIEW -

 

Hello guys! I've got another scheduled post coming for you today as I enjoy myself in Las Vegas! I hope you are all having a great weekend so far.

So, I recently cleaned out my computer of all my old files and I came across some really old nail art looks that I absolutely loved (although my photography skills were definitely lacking back then!), and I thought it might be fun to recreate some of my favorites! Back in May 2013 (http://www.thenailpolishchallenge.com/2013/05/deadly-sins-challenge-day-3-gluttony.html) I did this really funky chocolate covered strawberry design using the sugar spun method, and it was actually one of my favorite designs from back in the day, so I decided to redo that manicure:

Delush Polish Spring to Conclusions Collection Swatches + Review

- PROVIDED FOR REVIEW -

Hello guys! I know I am super behind on posting these - as I mentioned a couple days ago, my computer has just been so slow so editing photos and writing blog posts is taking a really long time lately. But not to worry, I've got a new one on the way!

Anyway, today I've got the Delush Polish Spring to Conclusions collection that's new for Spring 2015. This set contains six gorgeous spring crellies packed with colorful glitters.

I am absolutely in love with the Delush crelly ("crelly" = somewhere between an opaque creme and a sheer jelly polish!) formula - application is so smooth and surprisingly opaque! Plus, I didn't have to fish for ANY glitters in this collection - they were on my brush easily without even storing the bottles upside down (although I do recommend doing that with all glitter polishes!) Anyway, let's get into it:
