The Fancy Side

Just a quick post before I go to bed. I wanted to show you all the adorable Christmas tree mani I did. I love this one so much I already want to redo it. Next time I want the tree on one finger though. 

I started off with a base of Bellaluna Cosmetics Peppermint Stick* then used Lightning Bolt Nail Vinyls to mark off the tree. The shape of the bolts really lends itself to the tree which is awesome. I then polished the tree in Zoya Verushka* a beautiful matte green. I almost left it just like that but at the last minute I decided to add some "lights" to the tree. Cirque Electric Circus turned out to be the perfect polish to create twinkling lights for my tree. 

What do you think? Do you like the tree between two fingers or should I try it all on one next time?

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Today on the blog I have a new to the scene, hot off the presses, indie brand. I'd like to introduce you all to Samantha and Bellaluna Cosmetics. Samantha was kind enough to send me some polishes to show to you all. No lie, these are the bomb dot com. All of these polishes are LE from her Winter Collection. Run and get yours before the disappear. Before we dive in, this will be a picture heavy post as I have 5 different polishes to show you. Stick with it to the end. It's worth it. I promise. 

Up first we have Enchanted Woodlands. This is a red glitter bomb that leans coral in some lights. It's filled with red and silver holographic glitters that really make it pop. I'm wearing 2 coats for the swatches. 

Next we have Cinnamaspice. First that name is adorable and second, love this polish. It's a light brown base filled with gold, holographic gold, and micro gold dust sparkles. Umm don't you just want to drink warm apple cider while looking at this one, cause I do! I've used 3 coats for full opacity here. 

Peppermint Stick is one of my favorites! It's a milky white jelly polish filled with tiny red glitters and micro green glitters. Its a gorgeous combo. This is 3 coats. 

Next we have Toffee. This one is a surprise favorite for me. This creme is spot on y'all. Gorgeous formula, easy to apply, plus the color is stunning. Toffee is a pink leaning nude tan that I cannot get enough of. 2 coats gave me full coverage. Can't beat that. 

Finally we have Sugar Plum Fairy, a royal purple jelly base filled with beautiful holographic sparkles. Totally something fairies would wear. This is 3 coats for full coverage!

Well what do you think? I told you they were awesome! For being brand new to the scene Samantha did a wonderful job with these polishes. I think she nailed both the trends and the classics here. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next, I predict great things from her. Be sure to visit her shop at https://www.etsy.com/shop/BellalunaCosmetics.  You can also visit her Instagram and Facebook pages as well. As a special bonus I've also done holiday looks with each of these polishes. They'll be up soon! 

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
