<br />
Today I have a wonderful review and swatches of a beautiful holiday collection for you all. When Cassie of Lemming Lacquer e-mailed me, I have to admit, that I didn't know much about her brand. I had seen some swatches around Instagram, but I wasn't very familiar with it. After looking into it and talking to a couple people I decided that it seemed like Lemming Lacquer would be a great fit on my blog so I accepted. Boy am I so glad I did. I absolutely love this collection.<br />
<br />
Better Watch Out is a holiday collection with a twist. Cassie created a really well thought out collection inspired by the Winter Solstice and old Yuletide stories about dark creatures and sinister figures that came around if children misbehaved. I love this take on the holidays especially since I actually celebrate Yule in my home. I love how unique both the colors and the inspiration for these lacquers are.<br />
<br />
Now for the photos? Are you ready? First up is one of my favorites (who am I kidding? I loved them all). This is Gryla.<br />
<br />

Gryla is a beautiful flashy blue holo with almost a metallic feel to it. It is completly unique in my collection. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used two coats of Gryla for these images and she went on super smooth and easy. At first I thought I may end up with brush strokes, but they easily smoothed out as the polish dried. I added one coat of shiny topcoat to make the shimmer really stand out in these images. </div>

Yule Cat is a black base loaded with holo shimmer and glitter and shine and all sorts of beautiful silvery goodness. Look at that baby glitter! This is where I wish I was good at videos, cause you have got to see this in action. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did two coats of Yule Cat plus a thick coat of topcoat to smooth out this glitter bomb. I found the formula to be thick enough to hold the glitter but not so thick that it was hard to work with. Yum. </div>

I hope I can make up a little for my long absence today with a HUGE post full of beautiful Fall China Glaze lacquers. The Great Outdoors collection has been out for a while, but if you don't already have them they are definitely worth picking up.<br />
<br />
Fall is my favorite time of year and these colors really showcased the kinds of polish I love to wear when it starts getting cold.<br />
<br />
First up is a beautiful polish called Sleeping Under The Stars.</div>

Sleeping Under the Stars is one of the colors I was most excited about. It is a deep dusty blue with a creamy finish and filled with a beautiful copper shimmer. The shimmer is much more apparent in real life, but you can see it the most in the bottle shot below. </div>

Change Your Altitude may have photographed more on the grey end of the spectrum, but it is a grey with almost a putty tone in real life. I love the color of this polish, definitely unique in my extensive stash. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did two coats of Change Your Altitude for these swatches and then added topcoat. I did find this polish to be kinda goopy and it bubbled slightly on my nail. Since the rest of this collection was stellar, my guess is that my bottle wasn't sealed properly and thickened up a bit. I'll be adding some of my trusty thinner for the next time I use it.</div>

Cabin Fever is a reddish copper to reddish gold duochrome lacquer. It looks best layered over a black undie and looks awesome in low light. </div>

I started with a base of Cult Nails Nevermore for these swatches and then added two coats (I really could have left it at one.) of Cabin Fever. I left it without topcoat for the photos. The formula was great, but I do suggest a light hand for the least amount of brush stroke lines. </div>

I painted on two coats of this lacquer for these swatches, and used a coat of topcoat. I found My Lodge or Yours? to be a good formula though I did have a few streaking problems, it evened out on the second coat. </div>

Check Out The Silver Fox is an almost gunmetal silver while still managing to be super bright under lights. It is really unique and one of my favorites in this collection.</div>

Just like Wood You Wanna, Check Out The Silver Fox is a one coat, no topcoat needed, fantastic formula polish that stamps wonderfully. </div>

I know it looks black here, but Free Bear Hugs is a super deep, super vampy red jelly like creme. It is absolutely gorgeous. I will wear this all the time. YUM. </div>

<br />
I know I know, it has been an awfully long time. If you
follow me on Instagram, you know I've been slightly more active over
there, but... my blog fell to the wayside. I'm so sorry.<br />
<br />
Life sometimes
gets in the way of online life and when you're also dealing with
personal issues, everything compounds. I do my best to be active here,
but unfortunately sometimes my life gets to where I have to make myself
the most important person. I've had some of those moments over the last
few months and I had to make the decision to step away until I was able
to come back.<br />
<br />
If you've been following me for a while you know that I am not shy about the fact that I have major depression and anxiety disorder. I've been struggling with both lately and I had to make the decision that I was more important than my blog or my shop or whatever else was going on with my online life. I'm playing catch up now, but while I was away I came to an important decision.<br />
<br />
This blog was started as somewhere I could share more about my nails and my art. It was somewhere that I could post reviews of colors I loved and post lots of photos of nail art I did. Somewhere along the way it stopped being my soapbox and became a place of stress and anxiety for me. My posts went from excited to business. I stopped doing nail art and spend countless hours painting my nails then taking it off and painting my nails then taking it off. It's gotten tiring.<br />
<br />
Now don't get me wrong... I love polish and it is a big part of my life still. I don't mind taking a review job here and there, but it has to be a brand I love. It has to be a brand like Sweet Baby by Donna, Nvr Enuff Polish or Doctor Lacquer, where I really stand behind them and their brand. I don't want to get burnt out again, and for the most part, I'll be posting only on my Instagram. I'm going to be trying to get one post up here every other week to start, whether it is nail art or a review.<br />
<br />
If you've gotten through all of this I commend you. I think I've been rambling for the most part. The bottom line is, I need to take a step back and not expect as much out of myself. I want this blog to be something I love again. If you have Instagram PLEASE go follow me there, because I am there much more often. (Also there are kitty photos.)<br />
<br />
One last thing, I have a few reviews that have been mostly done for ages now, but haven't been posted. I'm going to start posting them the next couple days since they're so late, but I hope you enjoy.<br />
<br />
Much Love,<br />
<br />

Day 4 of the 31 Day Challenge is Green! If you don't know what the
31 Day Nail Art Challenge is you can head over to the FAQ over at <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com/p/the-31-day-nail-art-challenge.html">Chalkboard Nails</a>. She does a great job explaining everything.<br />
<br />
Also,
make sure you're following along with the hashtag #31DC2015 on social
media (especially Instagram) to see what everyone else is doing for the
prompts. <br />

I had the hardest time deciding on a design for green. I had about 5 ideas and I tried three of them before finally deciding to just start with a gradient and see what it inspired. It turns out that it reminded me of a background in a beautiful <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/521713938062098753/">piece of jewelry</a> I saw on Pinterest, so I decided to recreate something similar on my nails. I did a combo of freehand and stamping that I think captures it pretty well.<br />

I think it captures the essence of the piece very well! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with a gradient using Black Luna Lacquer <i>Cat Eyes</i> and China Glaze <i>The Grass Is Lime Greener</i>. I loved this combo of greens and although it seems like my bottle of <i>Cat Eyes</i> doesn't really glow anymore, it couldn't be happier with how the gradient looks in the light.<br />

I wanted to keep it looking like artwork, so I used a tiny brush to lightly dab the paint on for the tree and the lower treetops along the bottom. The black is just my black Stripe Rite Striper and the darker green is Cult Nails <i>Grunge. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my <a href="http://uberchicbeauty.com/products/uberchic-nail-stamp-plates-collection-2.html">2-03 Plate</a> from Uber Chic Beauty along with my trusty Cult Nails<i> Nevermore </i>to stamp on the birds along the top. I added a shiny topcoat as you can see above, but of course I also had to try these matte. Allison <a href="https://instagram.com/whimsicalicious">@whimsicalicious</a> said they look more "eerie" that way. What do you think?</div>

Day 3 of the 31 Day Challenge is Yellow! If you don't know what the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge is you can head over to the FAQ over at <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com/p/the-31-day-nail-art-challenge.html">Chalkboard Nails</a>. She does a great job explaining everything.<br />

Now, how about something softer for the yellow prompt? I had planned on a neon manicure for this prompt, but then I was looking through my plates and fell in love with this simple image with the triangles and I knew I needed something softer. <br />

After everything dried, I used an image from Uber Chic Beauty plate 2-02 to stamp on the yellow with Lacquer Lust Tanzanite.

To finish off the look I added two small dots of Zoya Solange on my pinkie. I added topcoat to all but that nail and then once they were dry I added a coat of matte topcoat.</div>

I'm back! I have my Orange nails for the 31 Day Challenge to share with you today. If you don't know what the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge is you can head over to the FAQ over at <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com/p/the-31-day-nail-art-challenge.html">Chalkboard Nails</a>. She does a great job explaining everything.<br />
<br />
Also, make sure you're following along with the hashtag #31DC2015 on social media (especially Instagram) to see what everyone else is doing for the prompts.<br />
<br />
Now, shall we get right into orange? I got the most exciting package in the mail Monday, it was my Uber Mat from Uber Chic Beauty!! (OMG Yay!!!) Well of course, I tried to do decals right away the first night I got it. I already had my red nails done, so I decided to try out some decals for this prompt. I failed... miserably. The decals were crunchy and thick, they wouldn't lie flat on my nails and it looked completely awful. So of course I went to my amazing friend Donna @workinggirlnails and she suggested some things. I tried again and this time I changed to a non fast-dry topcoat and I made them thinner. Success!<br />
<br />
Wanna see? Of course you do, that is what you're here for right?<br />

I had a really hard time coming up with something for orange since it isn't a color I wear a lot so I asked my girlfriend for help coming up with something. She suggested Tiger Lillies, and when I saw that I have a stamping plate with one on it I knew that would be perfect as an accent nail. </div>

I used a decal technique by laying down a coat of Wet n' Wild clear polish on my Uber Mat for each nail and then stamping over it once mostly dry with Cult Nails Nevermore. I used Uber Chic Beauty plate 1-02 for the Tiger Lilly on my thumb and MoYou London Doodles 07 for the other 4 nails. </div>

After I stamped I used various orange polishes to fill in the stamped design on the mat and then I left it to dry for a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the meantime, I painted my nails using three coats of Jolie Polish Stop Coral-ing Me Around and then used a fast dry topcoat to finish them off. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once my decals were dry I very very carefully peeled one of them off my Uber Mat and cut out the part that I wanted on my nail. I put a thin coat of topcoat on my nail and then laid down the decal with the shiny side down so the black stamping showed with the colors behind it. I patted it down on my nail so that it adhered and then cleaned up around the nail with acetone.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the decal was in place, I used my favorite topcoat to go over the whole thing and seal it in and make it super shiny. I repeated these steps with each of my nails to complete the look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what do you think? I think my middle nails remind me of some sort of fancy Indian dress. I love them so much.</div>

Am I crazy? Yes, I definitely am. I finally have some free time, so what do I do? I coerce my good friend Allison (<a href="https://instagram.com/whimsicalicious/">@whimsicalicous</a> on Instagram) to join me in killing ourselves via nail art for the next 31 days. Welcome to the 31 Day Challenge 2015!<br />
<br />
If you don't know about the challenge, it is a 31 day nail art challenge with a different prompt for each day. You can see them below:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6M4xZ1o4I7-oCUXC-kYjdtpm3z76S4KQ7HmLOGVe2FZYoF1UPGfSIqFBljJz9Ebgo1LZC01uPFMBKJZUHxzHOpTjDWHju2MUyxY8hGeSbyjAAEXOTfynl0D2M1vjigAr9e5JJMnuCKcCm/s1600/31dc2015-prompts-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6M4xZ1o4I7-oCUXC-kYjdtpm3z76S4KQ7HmLOGVe2FZYoF1UPGfSIqFBljJz9Ebgo1LZC01uPFMBKJZUHxzHOpTjDWHju2MUyxY8hGeSbyjAAEXOTfynl0D2M1vjigAr9e5JJMnuCKcCm/s400/31dc2015-prompts-3.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div>

<br /></div>
There are a bunch of ladies that do the challenge every year after finding it online ages ago and I have been trying to join in for years, but this is the first time I am completely dead set on it. If you are also doing the challenge (or it you want to, its not too late!!) and need some nail art templates, you can find challenge specific planning pages on my <a href="http://www.stormandstars.net/p/downloads.html">Downloads</a> page! If you want more info on the challenge, please head over to <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com/p/the-31-day-nail-art-challenge.html">Chalkboard Nails FAQ</a>!<br />
<br />
Today's prompt for the challenge is Red. I promised myself I would only post 1-2 photos of each manicure for this so I wouldn't have to edit tons of photos in addition to doing nail art every day, but of course this is just too pretty to only show a couple photos, that would just be silly, so you get 6 (haha)!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I started this nail art with a base of <a href="http://illyrianpolish.bigcartel.com/">Illyrian Polish</a> Sinister Haze, a beautiful putty grey holo with tons of red shimmer. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my <a href="http://uberchicbeauty.com/">Uber Chic</a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"> Beauty</a> Plate 1-02 to stamp the rose image on my thumb and
Plate 1-03 to stamp the filigree pattern on all my other nails. Now, I
know what you're going to say... Lex, you didn't stamp on all four
nails... Oh, but I did. And it was a big fat fail. </div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mighty Red Baron was not cooperating with something and the stamping
came out light and unfinished. So... being dedicated to the idea of this
manicure, I first painted over my ring and pinkie with a coat of Mighty
Red Baron and then I took a tiny detail brush to the other three nails
and I hand painted the entire design over the horrible unfinished stamp. Tada!! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added topcoat to finish off all my nails and then one crystal each to my ring and pinkie. I am so in love with this and I'm so glad that I screwed up my original mani so that I could do this much better one. :)</div>

I have a special Birthday blog post for you today!<br />
<br />
When my bestie Alix (@teoqeg) asked me to join in on a birthday collab for her partner in crime, Lynnae and I saw what her list of likes were I knew I had to do something inspired by Kirakiradoodles. I've been eyeing her instagram page for quite some time now and I've wanted to do an inspired by mani for a while.<br />
<br />I couldn't decide on just one design, so I went with a skittles kind of nail art for this mani. Happy Freaking Birthday Lynnae! I hope you love it! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started this nail art with a base of OPI Alpine Snow (white) on my index, middle and pinkie nails and a base of Essie Borrowed and Blue on my thumb and ring fingers. After I painted on the bases I added a fast dry topcoat to give me a smooth surface to paint on and to keep the polish under it safe in case I had to wash off any mistakes.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the topcoat dried, I used a whole bunch of acrylic paints to add the designs I liked the best when going through @kirakiradoodles Instagram page. It was so hard to even choose these designs!! </div>

So I was going to be posting the last matte in the Spring Fling line from Chick Pick Polish today, but then I realized I did the nail art for it without ever taking photos of the polish alone >.<<br />
<br />
Instead, you are getting the first in the Chick Pick Polish neons collection. Neon Pink! Be warned, this color is BRIGHT. You should probably get your sunglasses... Ready?<br />

Wow!! Neon Pink is a searing pink polish that leans more red on the nail than in the bottle. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I layered two coats of Neon Pink over a base of white for this look. My camera completely freaked out over this color. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some stamping and freehand nail art to this look using <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/">Born Pretty Store</a> plate <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/starfish-shell-theme-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp10-p-16857.html">BP-10</a> and a black striping polish.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped this design on with my squishy stamper and Cult Nails Nevermore and then added a matte topcoat before adding the freehand design. </div>

In keeping with our piCture pOlish goes geeky theme, I have another geeky nail art complete with a new language stamped upon a piCture pOlish. Lets just get right into it shall we?<br />

I started with a couple coats of piCture pOlish Instinct from my review post over <a href="http://www.stormandstars.net/2015/07/review-picture-polish.html">here</a>. I added a fast dry topcoat and let it mostly dry before moving on.</div>

The polish is bright blue and my mind was already on geeky languages, so
of course I reached for my Geek 05 plate again, and this time I used
the Gallifreyan image. </div>

I used my squishy stamper and a deep metallic blue, Essie Aruba Blue to stamp on all 5 nails. Afterwards I added a coat of Seche Vite to seal it all in and make it shine.</div>

When I was swatching piCture pOlish Chillax, I loved it so much that I knew I wanted to pair it with a great glitter and do a nail art with it. I was thinking about all the glitters I have and the one that stood out to me is one of my favorite polishes of all time, Cult Nails Toxic Seaweed. Toxic Seaweed is a deep green glitter in a green jelly base with added copper flakies. The two polishes looked great together, and this is what I came up with!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD8_eKtOQdg6nk6yH97dShf_tnigdWDHyClkAXW0tw0Cjlt0z_vAPoIplb6VLfrVRUBTm4aL_symulwPqCBrUhvs8mCx83NYGuQac-OIWw84fIbG-1NsB_g82uGD2eo_fCZxD0N9I_uTWQ/s1600/Elvish+001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD8_eKtOQdg6nk6yH97dShf_tnigdWDHyClkAXW0tw0Cjlt0z_vAPoIplb6VLfrVRUBTm4aL_symulwPqCBrUhvs8mCx83NYGuQac-OIWw84fIbG-1NsB_g82uGD2eo_fCZxD0N9I_uTWQ/s1600/Elvish+001.png" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with a base of Chillax on my thumb, index and middle fingers and Toxic Seaweed on my ring and pinkie. I chose a copper foil lacquer, Essie Penny, for the art and added two dots on the pinkie and ring fingers with a large dotting tool from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/2way-dotting-marbleizing-tool-nail-paint-p-515.html">Born Pretty Store</a>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted to stamp on the Chillax fingers, and my lovely girlfriend helped me choose the image plate. Of course, she chose something geeky. She loved this elvish image off of the <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/geek-plate-collection-05.html">Geek-05</a> Plate from MoYou London, and the pattern works really well with these earthy colors. I topped the whole look with a coat of Seche Vite to finish off the look. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You know where there are flakies, there must be matte topcoat, so I added a generous coat of OPI's matte topcoat to the look for the beautiful finish below. </div>

It's been a while since I did any nail art just for me without an event or review or something else to go with it. When I got my package from Uber Chic Beauty last week I wanted to do some nail art right away and I've been doing stamping manicures ever since. I did a few to go with some review polishes I got, but as soon as I got a chance I did this simple stamping manicure just for me!

Chillax is a beautiful jade green creme. It applied wonderfully, the formula was great. The color in photos shows a little more aqua than it actually is, so please keep that in mind. </div>

When piCture pOlish asked me if I wanted to review some of their shades, of course I said YES! I have built up quite a little collection of piCture pOlish in the last few years between two blog fests and a few overseas swaps. I really love everything from them that I have, so I knew whatever they sent would be fabulous.<br />
<br />
Well, I could not have been more correct and I have the first one to show you all today. Say hello to piCture pOlish Scandal!<br />

Today it is past time for more Chick Pick Polish goodness!<br />
<br />
I've had these swatches done for a while but have been a bit behind in posting. These are from the same Spring Fling collection I reviewed <a href="http://www.stormandstars.net/2015/04/chick-pick-polish-get-in-lime-boys-and.html">here</a>, <a href="http://www.stormandstars.net/2015/04/chick-pick-polish-marma-laid-in-shade.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.stormandstars.net/2015/04/chick-pick-polish-on-brink-pink.html">here</a>. All of these bright shades have a shimmery matte finish. It is really quite gorgeous.<br />
<br />

Blue So Fine is a beautiful bright blue shimmer lacquer with a smooth matte finish.</div>

After this mani dried I decided to add some subtle stamping. I did a gradient stamp using a couple Lime Crime lacquers and a Born Pretty Store plate. It came out super subtle, but I really liked how it looked anyway. </div>

I'll definitely have to use this plate again with a less subtle polish, but I do think the lacey pattern works well this way. </div>

Let Me Violet You is another shimmery matte lacquer, but it is a little more sheer than the others. The color runs to the blue end of the purple spectrum. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a very super special review AND a detailed nail art for you all today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been seeing these beautiful <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#stormandstars">Jord Wood Watches</a> all over my Instagram page, and was even looking into getting one for my girlfriend for her birthday, so I was so excited when I heard from Dan at Jord and he was asking if I wanted to review one of their time pieces. Of course I said yes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dan asked if I would do some nail art to go with my post about the watch and well... how can I say no to nail art? I really had a lot of fun putting together this post for you all, so I hope you love it. First I'm just going to show you and talk about the watch a little bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose the <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/series/dover#42/%23stormandstars">Dover Series Zebrawood and Cream</a> watch. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3dExV75RHfJGfa39AkXOtj6lEGgzbz63RzRjOjihBJI9gc95VjOy5DHALe-4yqyLaWGC0kGUcFdIeY6JiU1YnuLYAFEYVepg3Y4oDwpB1JV64RlZTWc69LCJsoEv1WgC_p-KQa-n9MWRC/s1600/Jord+Watch+001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3dExV75RHfJGfa39AkXOtj6lEGgzbz63RzRjOjihBJI9gc95VjOy5DHALe-4yqyLaWGC0kGUcFdIeY6JiU1YnuLYAFEYVepg3Y4oDwpB1JV64RlZTWc69LCJsoEv1WgC_p-KQa-n9MWRC/s640/Jord+Watch+001.png" width="640" /> </a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see in the photo above, this beautiful timepiece came packaged just as beautifully. When I opened the package there was this great little wooden box and inside was a cute pillow with the watch around it. Even the tag on the watch with the <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#stormandstars">Jord</a> logo was made of wood, which was a great detail.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing I noticed about this watch is how amazing it is to be able to see the gears moving inside. I am such a geek and I love little details like that. The majority of the band and the bezel around the face are made of Zebrawood and another darker wood. I really love the contrast between them. The face is open on both the front and the back, which is really unique and interesting.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I chose the watch I wanted <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#stormandstars">Jord</a> gave me the option to size it before they shipped it. It was really easy using the tool they have on their site to print. I love how this watch sits on my wrist and will definitely be wearing it a lot. </div>

I had so many ideas for nail art to go with my new <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#stormandstars">Jord</a> watch, but in the end I decided on something that really went hand and hand with just a little more bling.</div>

I started out with the idea of doing something zebra print since the watch is made with Zebrawood. I looked in my collection and tried to match the base color as close as I could and ended up with OPI Love Angel Music Baby on my thumb and index fingers as the base for some acrylic paint zebra stripes. I also used this lacquer on my pinkie and hand painted the <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#stormandstars">Jord</a> logo using a chocolate brown acrylic paint. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On my middle finger I started with a base of Pahlish Raggedy Man, Goodnight and then hand painted some numbers to represent the watch numbers using different shades of acrylic paint and a small brush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted my ring finger with a couple coats of Ethereal Lacquer Macabre and then added a bunch of gears I had from a friend to it. I was so happy I had these watch gears to use in this mani, I think it really gave it a little something extra special. </div>

I think this nail art and the <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/series/dover#42/%23stormandstars">Dover</a> watch look great together! I'm so pleased with how they go hand in hand. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course I couldn't help but add a coat of matte topcoat to see how that would look. </div>

The matte version of this nail art is much more subtle but super super pretty and really shows off the details of the hand painted designs.</div>

Ok, now that I've done that, I'll talk about this manicure. (hehe) On a whim, and since we had both already done a neon gradient on our nails, my bestie Nessa (@nessapocalypse on Instagram) and I decided to do some bestie twin nails and add a tribal pattern to our nails. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We didn't go with any specific pattern and we both free handed the design. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with a white base using OPI Apline Snow and added a gradient with China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, That's Shore Bright and Glow With The Flow. I used the polish painted directly on a makeup sponge for the gradient. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After everything was mostly dry I used a black striping polish and brush to freehand the tribal pattern. I pulled inspiration from a lot of places, so there really isn't an exact design I was replicating. </div>

I have been waiting for this day for a long time. And I have been holding on to this nail art for a couple months.<br />
<br />
Today the Supreme Court ruled in favor of legalizing gay marriage nationally in the US. While it has been legal here in Massachusetts for quite some time now, the emotional reaction I have had from this historic day has left me in tears on and off all day. The outpouring of kindness and love and hope from my social media feeds is amazing. <br />
<br />
I have been dating my beautiful girlfriend for almost 7 years now and to know that no matter where we live now, if we decide we want to choose marriage we can do that is a feeling like no other.<br />
<br />
So I am sharing this rainbow manicure with you all today to commemorate this wonderful decision.<br />

I started this nail art out with a couple coats of Digital Nails Supernova, an amazingly holo silver glitter bomb. </div>

After the glitter was dry I used the four Polish Pusher Sheer Perfection lacquers to paint on a rainbow just using the polish brushes and overlapping the colors on my nails. </div>

I'm back today with another nail art using the Doctor Lacquer Something Spacial: Stars collection. This is a simple stamping done over my favorite of the four colors, Betelgeuse.<br />
<br />

Betelgeuse is a red based tri thermal and it separates so well! I started with a few coats of that and then added a quick layer or Seche Vite and let it dry. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the nails were dry I used Cult Nails Nevermore (Black) and my MoYou London Hipster 07 plate to stamp this design. To me this looks almost like a circuit from a computer or something. </div>

Do you ever use thermal nail lacquers? What are your favorites?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="text-align: center;">
You can find these
and other Doctor Lacquer polishes in their shop either on <a href="http://doctorlacquer.storenvy.com/">Storenvy</a> or <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DoctorLacquer">Etsy</a>.
These lacquers are available both in full size bottles and in "medium"
sized bottles, which is what I am holding in the photos. I love the
medium bottles because I almost never use a whole bottle of polish and
these look just like the fulls size as well as having a normal cap and
the same wide brush. Totally in love.</div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="separator" style="text-align: center;">
Don't forget to follow
Angelyn on social media so you can keep up to date with collections, releases,
sales and restocks as well as see other swatches of her lacquers!</div>

With the first official day of summer just around the corner, I thought I would share some super bright summer themed nails that were really easy to do!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizJANOsNBr4axIb6fCMVd11o5imngGdi2RsTHTIhOQsGIdOHSvPY9M5H_bXwNlEHQfFbK85rC185BAFZytamXEzHA4AKi0TMrFEt11vdXWkT72W3dZGOv0xChJ5VQv1DYoEqh-UTXax08a/s1600/Summer+Sunglasses+001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizJANOsNBr4axIb6fCMVd11o5imngGdi2RsTHTIhOQsGIdOHSvPY9M5H_bXwNlEHQfFbK85rC185BAFZytamXEzHA4AKi0TMrFEt11vdXWkT72W3dZGOv0xChJ5VQv1DYoEqh-UTXax08a/s1600/Summer+Sunglasses+001.png" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started out with a base of China Glaze Red-y To Rave on all but my ring finger, to which I applied OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. I added a quick coat of Seche Vite and let them dry mostly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the nails were dry, I used my Hipster 07 Plate from MoYou London and OPI MBFSW to stamp the glasses on my thumb, index and middle nails.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a gradient to my ring finger using a makeup sponge loaded up with OPI MBFSW and China Glaze Red-y To Rave . Once the gradient was dry to the touch I stamped on some more glasses using one of the MoYou London Time Traveler plates and Color Club Cosmic Fate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added two coats of Zoya Destiny to my pinkie nail for some texture.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished everything but my pinkie off with a layer of shiny topcoat. I'm so happy with how these came out and I think they're just perfect for summertime!</div>

I have some more nail art for you all today using the Something Spacial: Stars collection from one of my favorite brands, Doctor Lacquer! I'm going to get right into photos today since you all know how I feel about this brand already.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started out with a base of Doctor Lacquer Fomalhaut, which is a tri thermal that shows purple, gold and green with a strong green shimmer. This is such a unique polish even in my extensive collection. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the base dried, I used Cult Nails Nevermore to stamp on a pattern from the MoYou London Hipster 07 plate. I topped the look off with a shiny top coat.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted to go simple with the stamping with how complex the polish is, and this worked out so well! How do you feel about nail art over thermal lacquers? I feel like it is a great way to jazz up a manicure in a simple way that looks great and more complicated than it really is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="separator" style="text-align: center;">
You can find these
and other Doctor Lacquer polishes in their shop either on <a href="http://doctorlacquer.storenvy.com/">Storenvy</a> or <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DoctorLacquer">Etsy</a>. These lacquers are available both in full size bottles and in "medium" sized bottles, which is what I am holding in the photos. I love the medium bottles because I almost never use a whole bottle of polish and these look just like the fulls size as well as having a normal cap and the same wide brush. Totally in love.</div>

I am back with some more nail art! (and really, nail art this time, not just different colored fingers)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was sent <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/1sheet-nail-water-decals-transfers-sticker-sweety-pink-striped-heart-pattern-p-12301.html">this uber cute package of water decals</a> from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/">Born Pretty Store</a> a while back and I knew I wanted to do something overly cute with them. I thought about it a while and decided to use the designs on the hearts as inspiration for the nails they would go on. So gradients, polkadots and stripes won out!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love love love how these came out!! The only nail I wasn't 100% happy with is the index, and that is just because my white ended up kinda grey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started out with a base of OPI Alpine Snow on all of my nails except my thumb, that I started out with a clean coating of Cult Nails Nevermore (I just bought five in the final sale, I'll be heartbroken when they're all gone.) I used a makeup sponge to add in gradients on my middle, ring and pinkie using Alpine Snow and Cult Nails Falling Hard and on my index using Alpine Snow and Nevermore. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After they dried a bit I added some dots inspired by the ones I did over <a href="http://www.stormandstars.net/2013/01/neon-polkadots-in-candy-land.html">here</a> a while back using Falling Hard on my thumb and Nevermore again on my middle finger. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When everything was mostly dry I dipped the water decals I had decided on in a bowl of warm water, then slid them off the paper and placed them on the nails.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a lot of fun doing this. It was great to try and match the nail art to the decals and the end result was super girly and cute!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Moar nail art! Ok... it's more like kinda skittles/skitlette on a really lazy day, but i really love how it looked and wore it for at least a few days, so it deserved a spot here. I used some of my favorite lacquers in this mani and I hope you love them too!<br />

On my pinkie and ring fingers I painted on one of my newest favorites, the April LE from Ilyrian Polish. If you haven't tried out Ilyrian, you are missing out.

Look what I have! Nail Art!<br />
<br />
When I was reviewing the Stars portion of the Doctor Lacquer Something Spacial collection I decided to add some stamping to each one of them and share it with you later. Well... it's later! Here is the first one I did using Doctor Lacquer Antares.<br />

I started with a base of Doctor Lacquer Antares and then I added a coat of fast dry topcoat. After that was dry I used Colors by Llarowe The Mighty Red Baron and my MoYou London Hipster Plate 07 to stamp on the lips. To finish it all off I used one more coat of fast dry topcoat. </div>

I really love the outcome of the stamping over the thermal lacquer here. I love how the lips almost blend in with the darker orange color or Antares. This design would be perfect for a summer party or beach day. </div>

I finally completed the 2nd half of the gorgeousness that is the China Glaze Electric Nights collection. I've had the worst luck with my swatch hand nails the past few weeks but they finally grew out enough and held out long enough for me to get the remaining 6 polishes photographed. There are three cremes in this post and the other three lacquers are neon glitter in clear bases. <br />
<br />
I absolutely in love with all these shades, but lets start with Glow With The Flow.<br />

First of all, no it does not glow, unless you are using a blacklight. This neon pink creme is absolute perfection. Barbie could not have done better herself. </div>

I used three thin coats of this lacquer for these images and it applied smoothly. The formula is a bit on the thin side, but if you take your time and don't get too much product on the brush there are no problems with it. I did not add topcoat for the photos. </div>

First off, this is my favorite name of the entire collection. As a former raver and electronic music fan, I really enjoyed the names of all the lacquers in the collection, but this one made me giggle. Can I Get An Untz Untz is a clear base full of neon blue, green and sparse purple glitters in varying hex sizes. </div>

I layered one coat of this glitter polish over Manglaze Mayonnaise, a white shimmer lacquer, for this look. I added topcoat for the photographs. The glitter in this polish is suspended well and I got plenty on my nail with one swipe. I didn't have to fish for glitter and the base wasn't too thin or too goopy. </div>

Let The Beat Drop is a clear base loaded with magenta, pink and orange neon glitter hexes in varying sizes. I love it over white!</div>

I painted on one coat of this neon beauty over a base of Deborah Lippmann Fairy Dust and then topped with a shiny top coat. I only wish that you could all see how pretty they are together since the photos washed out the pink shimmer in Fairy Dust. </div>

Point Me To The Party is a clear base swimming with a rainbow of neon colors in different sized hex glitter. I'm super in love with this look for summer and am thinking about some nail art I can do with it for sure. </div>

I used one coat of this glitter polish over a base of the lovely Jolie Polish White Crelly and I am in looooove. This combo works so well for me. The formula on the glitter was great and after a quick coat of topcoat everything smoothed out like glass and looked really amazing. </div>

The one thing I did notice with all the glitter lacquer is that the bases are slightly tinted. I
do not know if this is from bleeding glitter or not, but I am guessing
it is as the neon glitters are notorious for bleeding. If you're going
to be angry at bleeding glitters, purchase with caution. </div>
