Just Another MANICure Monday... AKA Inspired!

Happy Monday!!!! I'm here yet again for another Manicure Monday post... One thing I can honestly say: If I'm NOT here for ANYTHING else I'm here for my weekly Manicures. lol


I was going to go with the typical "Valentine" Mani but figured everyone would be sharing those this week so I decided to do the opposite. This week as the host of "Manicure Monday my nails were inspired by the colors of the soriity AKA. Mimi of (Lipgloss and Binky should be very PROUD of me. *Claps hands* I must say that that the ladies of this sorority has been nothing short of amazing. They have REALLY supported me when it comes to my business. When $ALES are low there is ALWAYS an AKA sitting back ready to place an order. So, I salute and honor them this week w/ my Mani for showing my business so much LOVE!

Just Another MANICure Monday.... TR Love Cosmetics Review!

HolĂ ! Happy Monday Loves…

Last week I shared that I purchased Tami Roman of Basketball Wives the new nail polish & gloss from her TR Love Cosmetics. Well, I got an opportunity to use the nail polish and I can honestly say that I’m very impressed with the overall results.
1st off let me just say upon ordering the polish it shipped really fast and it arrived safely and secured as I have my share of HORROR stories with polishes being mailed.
 



The polish came on very smooth and dried fairly fast. (drying fast is ALWAYS a concern for me because I like to polish my nails on the go) I applied (2) two coats however the color came on evenly with just one coat.

Color: Make it Reign - With Flash

The only hiccup I ran into is the way that the top screw off… Be very careful because the cap is not connected to the actual paint brush top and when I initially open the top polish splattered over my hands and clothes but I no worries I was quick and had polish remover on deck to clean it up.


Color: Make it Reign - Without Flash


What I like most is what you see is what you get. The color applied exactly how it appears in the bottle which I LOVE because I have ordered color from other lines and it appeared totally different once the polish was applied. That’s totally unlikely with this brand. Also, I’m in awe with the shape of the bottle and how it can be easily stored on my polish shelf! It’s obvious Tami knows her polish… Kudos to her and her new cosmetics line; she has definitely gained another polish addict customer in me! But WAIT... I just found out that the line will be sold in 400 Walgreen stores!!!! That's major... I know out of the 400 stores that it's coming to the "ATL" I just hope it's coming to a Walgreen store near me!

Just Another MANICure Monday... 3D Nail Art!

Happy Monday Loves… Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend!
My weekend was FUN filled and if you follow me on Instagram you already know what I mean. Which I will be sharing more pics later this week.


1st let me just tell y’all that I came home to a box of Nail Polish MESS – the nail polishes exploded (from the heat) in my mailbox. This was my 1st time ordering nail polish off eBay and I’m highly disappointed! I have tried to contact the seller but haven’t heard anything back as of yet. Also, I was told that I would get 15 bottles of nail polish and only received 12 which only 4 bottles survived the shipping! From this experience along… I REALLY don’t think I will be ordering nail polish from them again.


To make-up for the disappoint I decided to play in my FALL nail polish colors

But low and behold it was time for a fill in so on Saturday I took a visit to the nail shop but before going to the nail shop to my SURPRISE I had a box waiting for me at my front door from GILT!


It was filled with Nail Polish Goodies… this made me feel much better since I just had that awful experience just the day before. GILT packaged the items very well and securely. So, I decided to go with one of the colors from my package.


I love the quality and color of the nail polish but I can't say that I love the 3D Nail Art... I'm not totally 100% sold on that!

 Sooo, I am the host of Just Another MANICure Monday this week and I will be holding it down the next few weeks until my girl Mimi gets back in the game… so, please be sure to link up weekly! I miss you all and your FABULOUS Mani’s!!!!

Just Another Manicure Monday + Giveaway!

Lawdddd… y’all I didn’t think I was going to make it to see another week!!!! I have literally been down but not out!!!! The pain that I’ve experienced over the past week is indescribable.  If you follow me on Instagram then you know that I’ve been extremely sick… I’m thinking about doing a blog post about it. As of today, I’m not fully at 100% but I’m thankful that I’m able to see a new day!!!!
Getting right into my Manicure for this week… I spotted a Instagram post via Chrys of Married-to-Make-up about the new Wet-N-Wild Art Craze Nail Polishes (Limited Edition) on sale at Walgreen for .69 cents



I have not used ANYTHING made by Wet N Wild since like grade school. I’ve heard a lot about their lippies and make-up but when I saw the new Art Craze Nail Polishes sick or not I knew I had to have them! So, I sent my daughter to the store. That’s the advantage great part of having a daughter who can drive and has her own car… *giggles* However, by the time she had reached the store the $ALE must have ended by the time  she got to the store because instead of them being .69cents they were .99cents which was no problem because that is STILL a very reasonable price for nail polish being that I just spent like $5 for my last polish purchase.

At any rate, my life have been a spiral of ups and downs this past week I decided to try all of the colors out. So, to test out the polishes I did a nail swatch on each finger. This is not my BEST job doing my nails but I think they turned out a pretty RAINBOW BRITE considering my circumstances.




I don’t have the white pictured but I used it as the base coat then applied the color. I didn’t have a problem with any of the colors but the green polish brush was defective to the point I had to cut it as all the bristles were “out of whack” but I’m not going to make a huge fuss about it being that the price was unbelievable. I love the color palette and how the colors turned out. I like the colors so much that I’ve decided to do a GIVEAWAY!!!!!


 The giveaway will consist of 3 FREE bottles of Art Craze Nail Polishes of your choice. This is also my way of saying: “THANK YOU” to everyone for the calls, text messages, emails, IG Love, Twitter and Facebook messages. You all are greatly appreciated!!!! J

~The WINNER will be randomly selected via Raffle copter.  and announced on Tuesday August 6th~

Just Another Manicure Monday... Jawbreakers

Happy Monday Loves… Cheers to another week!
If you are a Mother I hope your Mother’s Day was filled with Happiness, Joy, and Peace!!!! I can say: my Mother’s Day was beyond blessed and I’m completely back from vacation and what FUN I had!

This week manicure was inspired by my blogger buddy Jeimy over at Jeimy's Fashion Love Affair as she posted a pic of her manicure on Instagram (see below) and I was highly inspired.

 I use 2 newbies from my KleanColor collection: White & Peaceful Heart
 

~Smiling~
I’m thoroughly satisfied with the outcome… 



Of course I had to add a little sparkle - It wouldn't be me w/o the sparkle!
My daughter stated that my nails reminded her of Jawbreakers… What do you think?

Just Another Manicure Monday

Another Week; Another Mani… I was contacted to do a review on 2 Sisters Cosmetics Nail Polishes and with JOY I excitedly agreed because ANYTIME somebody say: “Nail Polish” I’m on board!


 I received three (3) polishes securely packaged but little did I know I was receiving magic in a bottle!  


I was highly impressed with the bottles and the colors as I received as pictured (l to R): Try Me, Fantasy and Ready or Knot 


 (Above) No Flash & (Bottom) Flash


I am completely satisfied with the way that the color came out and the fact that the polish dries really FAST allowed me the opportunity to get some chores around the house done. Lastly the added bonuses of the polishes being Toxin Free, Eco-Friendly, and Made in the USA  


 (Above) Flash & (Bottom) No Flash


 I took pleasure in knowing that I was able to polish my nails without the added FUMES and SMELLS

As stated on their website to sum it all up 2 Sisters Nail Polishes are Naturally Flawless as I must AGREE!



I absolutely adore the polishes and color selection; that I have already made plans to purchase the entire collection.

NOTE TO YOU: After doing a little research I found that as it turns out, our nails are quite porous and our bodies absorb what is put on them. Additionally, there is blood flow right under the nail beds which means a direct pathway for chemicals to travel into our bloodstream. The chemicals found in the majority of nail polish are quite toxic, containing what’s referred to as the “toxic trio” – TolueneDibutyl Phthalate (DBP), and Formaldehyde. This trio of chemicals is known to be extremely dangerous to the human body.

Just Another MANICure Monday!

Since today is: Just Another MANICure Monday & it’s time for me to get a fill-in… I decided that I would share my latest polish haul with some color swatches. As many of you know I’m a POLISH ADDICT and I just recently indulged in yet another polish haul. Hmmm… DO I NEED HELP???!!!! Nope, I think NOT! HA!

Left to Right: Kiss Goodbye, Pink sleepless, Mocha, Diamon Gold, and Cooper

Left to Right: Clear, Black, Pink Star, Mango, Disco Ball, Sheer Lilac

As previously mention Klean Color is my #1 Polish right now mainly because of the price but they seriously have GREAT colors and the POLISH apply smooth with no chips, cracks, and/or peeling and the polish actually dry fast and last so I have absolutely no compliments.


Left Hand are the polishes in Pic#1

Right Hand are polishes in Pic# 2
When it's time for a fill-in I do color swatches to help better find the color I want... Please note only 1 coat was applied
Ok, so I told y’all I REALLY don’t have many polishes as folks may think I have. I’m at an E-Z 50 - 60 bottles of nail polish. I’m not sure what my ultimate goal is but Curls and Mo tagged me in the Nail Polish Video Haul and I’m not quite ready for that yet. I wanna step my polish game up just a tidbit more before I do a full polish inventory video. J
