Halloween Skull Stamping Nail Art

Pin It Halloween is SO CLOSE! Even though we may not be celebrating Halloween as we "normally" do, spooky nails are always a must do for the spooky season. 😊 

Zoya Amy stamped with Polish & Co Opposite Of White

Zoya Amy stamped with Polish & Co Opposite Of White

I love how Zoya Amy's shimmer shines through the dark black polish. I used Polish & Co.'s Opposite of White, which is my ALL TIME favorite black.

I can't tell you the last time I stamped my nails, but GEEZE what a difference using a clear stamper makes compared to the ones when I first started blogging! It's SO much easier to line up and place the pattern on your nail. Really takes out the guess work or needing to gently remove the pattern to redo it haha. 

CH49 Cheeky Plate

I used the skull print from the Cheeky CH49 stamping plate. I also used a stamper from Uber Chic Beauty that I bought maybe 2-3 years ago. I have the XL Clear Short, XL Clear Tall, and the XL Clear Stamper Head with Ring Holder and they are all FANTASTIC! No sponsored, I purchased them myself. Their customer service is also great to work with. 

I hope to get some more nail art in before the end of the month, but we'll see!

Have a Spooky Day,

Forget Me Not Friday - NUBAR: Reclaim

Pin It

The elusive Nubar Reclaim

Once upon a time Nubar released a polish called Reclaim. Sadly, when Lacey discovered it... She learned it was released in 2009 and was later discontinued (naturally...). DUN DUN DUN. After browsing blog sales for a year-ish and giving up on and off, she remembered eBay existed! So she searched eBay for awhile and a bottle never surfaced. One day, she got the bright idea, "set up a listing notification"! A few months later, a $13 bottle of Nubar Reclaim at "By It Now" surfaced. HUZZAH! Reclaim was finally Lacey's! She was blessed with the holographic green polish awesomeness in Fall of 2014 and just remembered she owned it. Way to go, Lacey, way to go.

Check out swatches of Nubar Reclaim after the jump lmfao.

Month of the Military Child

Pin It
As you may (or may not) know, April is Month of the Military Child. And today, April 15th, was the day chosen where everyone will wear purple to honor these children. Purple is the color that represents all branches of the US military. While I do not have children, my nephews are military children and I have a lot of military wife friends who have children!

I've been asked a few times what exactly is Month of the Military Child. It's simply a month to honor military children and their military families. As a US Navy wife, I have made many (not so easy) sacrifices in my life... and I can only imagine the sacrifices kids are forced to make (possibly multiple times) throughout their childhood. So April is the month that was chosen in 1986 to recognize military families and their contributions. If you want to know more about this month, you can go here. The website also gives some ideas of how to celebrate the month. :]

BLAH BLAH BLAH, haha here's the manicure I did for Month of the Military Child, after the jump.

SQUAREHUE: February Box - The Vintage Love Collection

Pin It HAPPY holidaylaceyreallydoesn'tlike! :D

Square Hue The Vintage Love Collection

Today I'm swatching and reviewing for you, SquareHue's February Box! If you aren't familiar with SquareHue, check out my original post. But, it's another polish subscription service! This month's box was Valentine's/love themed, makes sense haha. The February collection itself is called the Vintage Love Collection. Jump over for more!

Comic Book Nails

Pin It Sooooo I decided to do some nail art today!


I've seen this design floating around the interwebs for the past month or so. When I got my Cheeky summer plates, I was excited to use the comic inspired stamps! More pictures, color and plate info after the jump! :]

HARD CANDY: Beetle & Cheeky Plates

Pin It Hope ya'll had fun with the giveaway. What kind of things are you looking for in the next giveaway? :] Let me know! I know thing's I'd like to win, but I'm different from other people ;]

I drove 20 minutes away to grab Hard Candy Beetle because the closer Walmart's suck at stocking polish :[ Hands down? Totally worth the drive!

LOOK at this beauty!

 Hard Candy: Beetle, 3 coats

I was actually able to get the duochrome flashes when taking the pictures. It flashes purple, green and gold. Even then, the pictures don't do any justice to how gorgeous this is! For $4?! I'll take it! Maybe even 2 haha. I went to Walmart's website and searched for "Hard Candy nail polish" and then looked for stores in my area, pretty handy so you don't have to drive everywhere for a polish!

I've heard around the interwebs that this is a pretty good dupe for Orly's Space Cadet. I usually am not a fan of darker colors on me so I didn't want to dish out money for a polish I was iffy about. Nope, need Orly's version, totally in love! I stamped a design on as an accent nail, review of the stamping plate below also :]

Hard Candy: Beetle with Cheeky Plate C Stamping

I also picked up and decided to try a Cheeky Plate, this is Cheeky Plate C. If you're unfamiliar with Cheeky's nail stamping plates, they're pretty large plates with 42 images. You can find them on amazon :]

 Cheeky Stamping Plate C

I like these plates because the designs are pretty unique, the stamps seem larger to me than Konad or bundle monster's stamps (which is good for me because I have pretty large nail beds haha). The quality was OUTSTANDING. I can't even tell you how much I LOVE the plate I chose! There wasn't a stamp that didn't pick up, or didn't come out super clear. The detail in these stamps is awesome!

Here is another manicure I did (forgive the cotton ball string that ruined one of my stamps boooo!) using a full nail design. LOVEEEE!

Revlon Colorstay: Rainforest with Cheeky Plate C Stamping

Hope you guys will give Cheeky a shot if you're into stamping! It seems these plates don't disappoint!!

Until next time,
Lacey
