Cheetah Hearts

Here is another mani I did on my friend's nails!!!

We found the inspiration for this by a pin on pinterest, done by this blogger.

I used Jordana French white for the base, and Sinful Colors black on black for stamping. Then I went in and free-handed a heart using my stride-rite striping polish and outlined it in black.

She loved them and it really reflected her personality :) I was pumped I could re-create something like that :)

Also, you guys can follow my pins on pinterest by clicking here. I have non-polish boards as well so just follow the nail ones if you are so inclined :)

When did you last get inspired by a pic you saw??

Quick Valentines Post!!

 Here is a quick pre-valentines day mani!

This is on one of my friends nails, and she is still in nail polish overload after just HEARING about my stash lol. Needless to say, she has alot of mani's planned.

These were done with two coats of NYX Advanced Salon Formula in Delectable, and Jordana's French White. I used my bundle monster plates, but I forgot which ones.

Any cool mani's planned for v-day??

Brand Wrap Up: Jordana

*** EDIT: Jordana just released some amazing new glitters, check it out here. I will be picking up purple party for sure! **


Final Day: Rich Green!

(I know I said a week, but I only had one more to swatch so I figured what the heck)

I love this green! I seriously think it is my favorite green in my whole collection! It applied beautifully with two coats. I cannot make up my mind if I want to call this a cream or a jelly so lets just say it is both!



My Final Verdict on Jordana:
This has been my first experience with this brand, and I must say that I am impressed. For the price, I think they make great creams that would add to any polish-lovers collection. I was shocked when I tried to look up swatches before I bought them, that not many bloggers own/review them. They deserve a lot more credit! I would love to try more of their jellies and creams. They do an okay job with the other finishes, but they pale in comparison to the coverage and beauty of the creams. I will definitely buy more of these!!

Jordana Lavender Fields

Day 7: Lavender Fields

 I love this color!! I had weird application issues like odd bumps but I think that was due to something on my nail and not the polish. This covered very well with two coats and no top coat. I like the way it looks with my skin tone as well, almost like they wash each other out but in a good way.... I dont know! haha

It was a great cream just like the other ones I have reviewed.

Jordana In Love

Day 6: In Love

This was my first true issue with coverage in Jordana polishes. I needed three coats and it could have used more. I am not really bothered by visible nail line though. Something else that bothered me: it looked much more pink in the bottle, and on the nail it seemed very orange. Other than that it was a pretty shimmer polish, shifting from light to darker orange/pink. These pictures are without top coat. I liked this polish but I was not 'In love' hahaha. I'm so punny :)

What do you think? Love it or Hate it?

Jordana Chiffon

Day 5: Chiffon

I am on a never searching quest for a good nude for me. There are two issues.

1. I hate nudes

2. I am paler than pale

For these reasons, I cannot seem to find one that complements my skin tone. I saw this and thought it possibly could because I liked the color.... Now I am not so sure. But it applied wonderfully and it only needed one coat (I applied two however). This is also without a top coat.

I am going to leave it up to you! Does it look gross or good. Be honest!!! I will love you no matter what! :D

Jordana Boy Oh Boy!

Day 4: Boy Oh Boy

I really applaud Jordana for their cremes. I saw all the reviews that I could for Jordana and everyone raved about the creme polishes and I totally agree! They really hit it out of the park with this one. I love it! It really reminds me of the perfect summer blue. Like the color you want the ocean to be haha :) This was a one coater, but I used two out of habit. This is with no top coat, and it really shined. I am in love with creams lately, no idea why haha. 

Don't you love this blue? Am I the only one loving creams???

Jordana Mellow Yellow

Day 3: Mellow Yellow

This first drew my attention because it was a yellow jelly. I don't think many companies try this because yellows are hard enough to layer on its own. But I think Jordana nailed it with this. It had wonderful coverage in 4 coats (remember its a jelly!) and still kept that gummy awesome look. I honestly wanted to wear it on its own that is how much I loved it. To me, it is really unique in finish and coverage. This is without a top coat also!

How do you like it??

Jordana Purple Glam

Day 2: Purple Glam

No Top Coat:

With Top Coat:  

As you can tell, the top coat really helps but It would probably be better with a second coat of it to really even it out. This is a deep royal purple with bar and micro holo glitter. It is really pretty but needs a thick amount of top coat to not look bumpy and weird. This is with 2 coats, so far jordana is living up to good coverage!!

How did you like this one??

Weeks Of Swatching!

I have decided to do a week of one Brand every once in awhile, as you may have noticed the poll says Zoya won (and I am working on that) but I already had a week of Jordana swatched :) SO here goes nothing!! :)

Day 1: Jordana Pink Bunny 

This was my first experience with this brand, and I must say it was a good one!! It was great coverage! Ignore the strange bumps on my nails (something got caught in there) and you can tell it's a very smooth creme polish. No top coat! I used two coats but it could have easily been done in one! 

It really reminds me of true pink and bubblegum :D Yum!

Black Friday Haul :)

Since I have been gone there have been TONS of nail mail days, and unfortunately I just unpacked them and screamed without pictures ;) haha

So I figured I would show my black friday/cyber monday nail polish haul!!

Here is the full haul! 33 polishes total.

Instead of having a one day sale, Zoya (because they are so awesome) had tons of flash sales. I sent their twitter posts to my phone, so I managed to catch quite a few :)
