Julep - Peace Love and Sienna

Hey Everyone!

Today I have a work function to go to so I wanted something "classy" lol Although I'm sure this look doesn't qualify as classy to some but for me it's more subdued. Check it out!





The merlot creme is Julep Peace. It's a very pretty color but the formula wanted to flood my cuticles and cleanup was a little tough since reds tend to do that but I was happy with the end result so not too big a deal.



For the ring and pinky I used Julep Sienna as my base and layered Julep Love over. I love Love! Haha!



I've never doubled up square studs like this before, I think it's a pretty cool look.



Thanks for stopping by!

Lucky Lacquer - Sweet Pea - chevron mani

Hey Everyone!

Are you currently in a candy coma? I am. I ate wayyyyyyy too many kit-kat bars, why are they so delicious? Damn you kit-kats! Just kidding, I love you lots xoxo

So it was kind of snowing here, not the kind that sticks just the kind that lets you know – hey, I’m snow and I’m back and I’m going to make your life a living hell for the next oh I don’t know like 17 months. That’s what it feels like. Winter is coming y’all, it’s coming. I decided to rebel with an “It’s still Summer in my head” mani.

This gorgeousness is Lucky Lacquer Sweet Pea. A very bright pink creme that leans a little coral. It’s fab right?! I used 3 coats here, normally I could get away with 2 but my nails are a little long and my nail line is darker than your average bear so at this length I need an extra coat. Formula is super great. 2 polished thumbs up!

And btw, you can use my code STAR for 10% off your entire purchase at Lucky Lacquer. Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyy! Isn’t STAR the greatest coupon code ever?

For my accent nails I used a base of Julep Sienna. Sienna is probably my top gold polish of all time, ironically it came in my very first Maven box. If you apply it a little thicker and carefully you really could get away with one coat. Super great formula. Then I applied my mini chevron nail vinyls from Vinyl It Up. The minis are my fav size chevron. Then I applied another coat of Sweet Pea and removed the vinyls for these adorable chevrons! It’s chevron cuteness overload up in dis bitch. I added gold 2mm studs that I got from ebay.

This color combo is just insane, pink with gold = amazing. Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Skull King mani - Sinful Colors Neon Melon Julep Tazeen and Brandt

It’s almost Halloween Everyone!

So I did MORE Halloween nails of course. A few weeks back I bought the cutest skull charm on ebay, it’s neon yellow with a little gold crown. I thought it was a really great color combo with the black eyes so I came up with a matching mani. Check out my neon skull king mani!





For the pointer and pinky I used Julep Kate a white shimmer as my base, I used 2 coats. Then I topped the white with 2 coats of Sinful Colors Neon Melon, a highlighter yellow. It is very bright but not the brightest highlighter yellow out there, I love it! I thought it was a little thicker than other versions of this color.



For the middle finger I used Julep Sienna, a great neutral shimmery gold. Then I topped with 2 coats of Julep Tazeen, a full coverage glitter. At first glance Tazeen just seems to be a gold color but after a second look you see some green to it. The hint of green looks perfect with Neon Melon, I love how they look together.





I used Julep Brandt on the ring, 2 coats. Brandt is one of my most used colors, it’s the perfect off black crème. Great for when you don’t want just straight black, it’s got character lol. I applied the skull charm to a coat of freshly applied HK Girl Topcoat. It is so cute, I love it so much!



You know how sometimes you have an idea for a mani in your head and then it doesn’t come out good? Yea, well that didn’t happen here lol This is exactly what I was hoping for! I like how this is a Halloween mani but not your typical, and Neon Melon is perfect and I can’t wait to wear it in the middle of the cold winter when I need a little brightness to bring me out of the snow. Thanks for checking out my mani!
