Todays haul and nail mail from this week

I decided today that since I'm loving my Cult Nails from yesterday to much to take off today I would show you the 2 nail mails I haven't posted yet as well as one I got today and what I bought today.

I was very surprised today on how much self control I had!! I went into Trade Secrets, Cosmo prof, Claire's and Sephora and came out with only 4 things for myself!!!!

I also received my spring surprise, the 365 days of color nail mail and a new stamper I ordered a while ago :)

First with pictures of the haul :)


OPI Avoplex to go and Essie Matte about you *both for my swap with Zoe*, Lush Lemony Flutter *finally had to try this stuff after hearing so much about it and I'm already in love with it* and Make up for ever HD Powder *Best finishing powdering Ive ever tried, works on like any skin tone*


Zoya Carly from the new Surf collection *was really hard to choose just 1 but I had to be good*, Claire's Candy Shop *a dupe of Deborah Lippmann's Ive been lemming after* and my new double sided stamper *this took like 5 weeks to get there :( *

I think I had a pretty productive day buying this stuff, i did come across the new OPI Spider-man collection at Trade Secrets but decide to hold of until Cosmo prof gets them so that I get my discount he he. Gotta save money to spend on other polish stuff :)

Now for my nail mail!!


I love supporting Indie polish makers so when 365 days of color started selling there I had to get all five *Funfetti, cotton candy, explosion, summer dreams and old time movie*. She had super fast shipping and was a delight to email back and forth with and her polishes are even better in person!! I believe she now also carries these in full sizes if your interested :)


And last but defiantly not least is my awesome Spring Surprise from Carrie <3!!! She got me A Perfect 10 Sweet thang, Revlon scented Apple-tini fizz and Pinapple fizz, NYC matte top coat, Hard CAndy Beetle, and Confetti Pink Confetti, as well as a flirt stamping kit with a flower plate!!! So cant wait to try some of these out, will defiantly use them for some of my untried posts :)

But dolls, im exhausted so going to go read a bit, tomorrow I promise ill ahve a pciture of a enw manicure <3

FP Circus Peanuts and Zoya Rica

So ive seen alot of people do this color combination and since Zoya rica happeneds to be one of the two Zoyas I own I figured id try it out and see just how amazing it is!!

Now i wasnt going to buy FP Circus peanuts but I did just for this mani. I found it was a bit thick to apply but 2 careful coats did the trick.



It definatly a very pretty color and I think it would be great for the summer.

Now I layerd 2 coats of Zoya rica, which is an amazing color!!! So sparkly I loveeee it!!



I love how it shines from like yellow to orange to a pinky red. It has to be one of my favorites right now. Also this color applied sooo nice. Could of gotten away with one coat but for some reason I always like to do two :)

My first half moon mani

So ive seen sooo many gorgeous half moon manis latley so I thought id give it a try. Since I had no hole reinforcers I dedided to free hand it :) Which was wayyyy harder then it looked.

For the base I used 2 coats of Zoya Pheobe

I found that the formula was a bit thick and tricky to get nice and smooth, which sucked since you can see every rivet in a matte I find.

I then used my brand new Cult Nails Toxic seaweed to create the half moons.


I absolutly loved this color. So nice to apply, and I used 2 coats for this application. I could have gotten away with one but wanted it a bit more intense.

I then did a top coat on everything besides the ring finger.

Overall im really happy with this, just wish my half moons were a bit smoother :)
