Digital Dozen: June Birthday Mani

Hey y'all. Long time no blog. I feel like I say that every time. Mommy life is hard and I don't have quite the free time or energy that I used to have, so posts are few and far between. However, I wanted to pop in and participate in the Digital Dozen's June Birthday celebration. It was a little selfish of me, cause it's my birthday and I picked the design.
The original design can be seen below, but first I'll show off my nails.
For this design I started with a base of Cirque Colors Carpe Diem, then using a ton of the Vice Collection (Hedonist/yellow, Lean/purple, Wanderlust/blue, Taboo/violet) as well as Fire Island/orangey-red. I stamped over that using a design from UberChic 1-03 with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief. I tried to stay as true to the design as possible, but it got a little wonky towards the edges. Here is the original design for reference:

Be sure to pop over and see other members of Digital Dozen's interpretations. They all look really great.

Bohemian Tribal with Bellaluna Cosmetics

Moving chaos is still in full swing y'all! I legit packed up my clothes last night and forgot to leave out clothes to wear. Super smooth right? There are boxes everywhere and it's getting hard to navigate in our apartment. I didn't know we had that much crap. I thought I got rid of most of it when we moved from Kansas. Anywho...
I did this bohemian tribal-ish look with three colors from Bellaluna Cosmetics Bohemian Collection. My base is a stunning purple glitter bomb, Wild Child. The pink is Gypsy and the blue is Wanderlust. They both have beautiful shimmers in them, which don't quite translate for this look.
Can I just say that I'm really impressed with how crisp some of my lines are since I freehanded this. Most are wonky, but I'm getting better! :-) Do you ever let a collection inspire you?
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Sunday is here again. That means Monday is tomorrow. Boo Hiss! Monday's are the worst. I think we should start a petition to make weekends four days long and work weeks three days long. Who's with me?! Anywho...today I have a new collection from Bellaluna Cosmetics to show you. These five polishes make up Samantha's new Bohemian Collection. I totally love the way they all work together. Be aware, this will be a picture heavy post, because I couldn't pick just one shot to show you each polish.
Up first is Sunset in Paradise. You've seen a sneak peek of this one. Sunset in Paradise is a beautiful bright orange jelly polish filled with orange sparkles. There's a flash of silver holo just for a little added something! I used three thin coats here and as you can see, I have no visible nail line.
Next up is Wild Child. I'm in love with this glitter bomb y'all! This is mostly different sized light purple glitters but it also has pink, blue, silver, gold, and copper glitters thrown in. The copper glitters are a real stand out, I love them! This was two thin, easy coats for full coverage.
Wanderlust is so beautiful and creamy. It's a lovely aquamarine blue polish filled with blue and holographic shimmer. It's a real stand out. Two thin coats for full coverage.
Next is Metanoia. This glitter topper is filled with shredded glitters in teal and magenta flakies in a holographic base. I've worn two coats over Wanderlust. I did have to use the dab and spread method with this one, but that's pretty typical with glitter polishes.
Finally, we have Gypsy. Oh Gypsy, how I love you and your golden shimmer. This muted magenta polish is filled with the most beautiful golden shimmer. It's stunning. I used two thicker coats here for full coverage.
Can you pick a favorite? Mine are definitely Wild Child, Sunset in Paradise, and Gypsy. You can find Bellaluna Cosmetics on Etsy, where her polishes retail for $8.50 each. You can also see her on Instagram and Facebook!
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
