*Press Sample*

Hi everyone! I've decided to jump on the crazy train and join in on the 31 Day Challenge! I've really felt blah lately and I need something to jump-start my creativity. Challenges always seem to inspire me, so I'm going for it! I don't know if I will be able to post every single day, but I'm going to do as many as I can. I'm excited to get started!

Zoya Petals Collection

Hi everyone! If you haven't figured it out, this week is going to be Zoya week on the blog and I have a long overdue post to share with you, the Zoya Petals Collection. I have had these swatched for ages, but have totally neglected to post them. Luckily, Zoya keeps their collections available year-round so you can easily pick these up on their site and they are beautiful colors that can be worn anytime. Stay tuned because I will be sharing the other Summer Collection (Seashells) as well as the Fall Urban Grunge collections over the next few days!

Paint All the Nails Presents Color Block

Hi everyone! Today I have a brand new edition of Paint All the Nails Presents and this month's theme was Color Block. I have always been envious of ladies who can do clean freehand lines when color blocking, but I've been too nervous to try it. I finally decided to give it a go, and it wasn't nearly as hard as I imagined! Now let's see what my inspiration was!

Girly Bits What Really Happened in Vegas (2016)

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! I'm excited to show you the 2016 edition of the Girly Bits Cosmetics What Really Happened in Vegas Collection. This is a sparkling 5-piece collection inspired by the annual trip to Cosmoprof in Vegas. Here is a short explanation of the inspiration behind these polishes from creator Pam:

Each year we attend Cosmoprof North America at Mandalay Bay in Vegas. 2016 brings the 3rd collection in the WRHIV series, which have names that are inspired by memories from the coordinating year’s events in Vegas.

With each of the polishes, I've also included Pam's inspiration for all of the polish names with my . swatches. The WRHIV 2016 Collection (along with the LE What Happens in Vegas, Ends Up on Twitter) are available now in the Girly Bits shop.

Hi everyone! You are going to see several posts from me today that I wanted to post earlier in the week, but my computer/editing program has been giving me nightmares! I was finally able to get everything working this weekend, so I'm going to start by showing you some new releases from Great Lakes Lacquer including one that I'm particularly excited about...a custom that I collaborated on which is the first in the Ladies of GLL series! Mariah is going to be teaming up with a member of her blogger team each month to create a gorgeous custom which will be available during that month. There are also several single pours going up as well and these will be first-come first-serve so be sure to grab them before they are gone! The single pours and my custom, Never Gonna Give You Up, will be released in the Great Lakes Lacquer shop tomorrow (8/15) at 7 PM EST.
