Baroness X Ice & Fire Collection | Fall 2017 - Press sample

Are you guys excited?! One more sleep and winter will be here! If you are anything like me, you have been anxiously awaiting the upcoming season of Game of Thrones. Today, to celebrate the upcoming season, I have swatches from the new Baroness X Ice & Fire collection. This is a ten piece collection inspired by all things Game of Thrones. Each polish (aside from Night's King) was inspired by one of the noble houses.

Please join me in humming the Game of Thrones theme song while we dive into these swatches!

Morgan Taylor WTF Devil Emoji Nail Art - Press sample

Bad day at work? Crappy exam at school? I've decided to channel those feeling into some heartfelt nail art. When Morgan Taylor released their Designer Plates Stamping Kits I knew I could make good use out of the emoji plate.

This might have been slightly inspired by the fact that I had to work instead of attending Cosmoprof North America... 😈


For this look I started with a base of Morgan Taylor Little Black Dress and All White Now. Once the white dried I stamped over it using the emoji Designer Plate and Put A Wing On it.

I don't think I will ever get over how perfect Painted Polish micro glitter polishes are. Just when I think I have one of everything Lexi releases something unique. Painted Polish Anchors Away isn't a new release, but this is my first time wearing it. I believe Anchors Away was first released as part of the At Sea: Volume II collection, but I'm not 100% certain as the collection is not on the website.

Painted Polish Anchors Away

This shade has entirely captured my heart. From the teal micro glitter to the holo twinkle, there isn't anything more perfect than this shade right now.



Micro glitter can be textured, but I didn't find this to be much of an issue. One medium layer of top coat was enough to do the trick.

I love all things neon, so when I finally had the chance to wear my "new" Native War Paints shades I knew that I had to do a water marble with them. I quote new because I bought them during the November 2016 Black Friday sale.

I have fairly limited experience with Native War Paints, but almost all of their polishes water marble, so I figured I would take a chance.


For this look I started with a base coat of white. Once that dried I marbled Native War Paints Plutonium, Red Butler, Shy Violet, and Twinkle. They are kind of unusual shades for neons and a water marble which is why I felt compelled to put them together.


I absolutely adore the shimmer in all of these neons. It really helps them stand out from the rest of the neons on the market.

Neon Unicorn Stamping featuring Harunouta & JulieG - Press sample

Sometimes life calls for something extra magical. Today was one of those days. I decided to pull out my JulieG Spring Collection 1 for some unicorn themed fun.


For this look I smooshed JulieG Tropical, Bikini, and Dream in Pretty on my thumb, index, and pinky fingers. On my middle and ring fingers I used Bohemian Polish Half-Life as the base. Once that dried I added a quick dry top coat, and applied the unicorn and rose decals I created from the Harunouta Unicorn Plate.
