So it's #TheLacquerRing time again and I've been waiting for this for months. It's FINALLY my time to pick y'all! I've been waiting and waiting and now the girls have to do my color and my design prompts. Muahahahah!

Ok, maybe I got a little carried away there. But seriously, the color is TEAL because I love teal. Favorite color ever! I cannot get enough of it. I love it so much I pulled out 22 bottles and whined to my husband that I couldn't pick just one. I made him pick 5 for me and I used one for each finger. Lets take a look.




Which teal polish is your favorite?

The Lacquer Ring is back. Today is the first installment of July and Jessica from Once Upon a Polish has picks this month. Her first choice is the color Chartreuse. I'm not going to lie, I reverted to a 5 year old for a minute and laughed at "shart" for a minute when I heard the color choice.

Ok, so I get that it's actually Sunday. Apparently I suck at scheduling posts. This was intended to go up yesterday, but I fail, so instead, here it is today.

Today's look for #StampingSaturday, starts off with a base of Butter London's Trustafarian. A light green holographic polish. This is 4 thin coats. It takes at least that many coats to be fully opaque.







What do you think of this look? I'm a fan of the way it came out.

I then stamped over Artful Dodger with Sally Hansen InstaDri in Silver Sweep, my go to silver stamping polish, with the NC-001 Plate.

I then dabbed Cirque Potosi on near my cuticles. Potosi is a shreaded silver glitter topper. Sadly, I didn't love how Potosi laid on the nail, I had pieces sticking up and it really bothered me. So much so, that this mani didn't last a full 24 hours.




Are you a fan of shredded glitter? I don't think I am.

Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll! Well tomorrow, but as I plan on spending the morning on a plane and the rest of the day gorging myself on delicious food, I'm wishing you a Happy Turkey day now.

I wanted to wear something simple but pretty for the holiday, so I went with Butter London's Bit Faker.  Bit Faker is a beautiful full coverage bronze glitter. It is super unique and simply stunning. This is a stand-alone beauty.

I'm back with another Shorty McShort Shorts design to show you all today! I know you are really excited to see my nubs, but as I'm all about honesty in blogging, and I can't grow them out over night, here they are. Also please excuse my photos. I sent my light booth off with the movers, and I'm having difficulty catching true colors in the photos without it. I'm lame, I know.

I decided to wear Butter London's Trout Pout. If there is one polish I think everyone should own, it is so this color. Then to make it a little fancy I pretty much blinged out my ring finger with rhinestones. Like, I went crazy on that.

What is the one polish you think everyone should own?

Hi all! Today I'm really excited to show you a look that kind of made my camera freak out a little bit. ;-) KKCenterHK recently sent over some products for me to review and today I'm going to show you the Circular Nail Studs in 2mm Pink.  These studs are the perfect size, you can easily wear more than one on a nail and they are a juicy light pink color. Lets take a look at the nails. I've never had the opportunity to use studs on my nails before, so I was very excited to take these on a test run.




For the base of the nails I used Essie Off the Shoulder. Once that was dry, I taped out a big triangle using Scotch Tape and painted it with China Glaze Pool Party, a bright neon pink. After Pool Party dried, I taped off an even smaller triangle and filled it in with Butter London Snog. At the top of each triangle I placed a stud. To place the studs, I dotted on some Seche Vite top coat, placed the studs, waited a few moments, then topped the whole look with more Seche Vite.

Overall, I really like this look. The studs were great. They didn't catch on anything and wore easily. They also put up with a lot of abuse before one finally popped off.

If you are interested in getting these studs, you can find them here. There are 50pcs in a pack for $4.23.

Enjoy & until tomorrow, Amy Lee
