The Nail Challenge Collaborative - July 2015: Travel

*purchased by me*

Hey there! Today I have for you my third post in The Nail Challenge Collaborative July Travel theme.  I'm slowly getting caught up finally!  For this one I went with travel by boat for my mani.  

I started with a base of Elevation Polish Kawagebo for my base.  The lighting kind of is off on the first picture. This one is more color accurate.  I used Boston Nail Art Nautical Blues waterslide decals for the anchors and captain's wheels.  

I'm still getting the hang of waterslide decals.  I am happy with how this turned out though. 

Thanks for reading. 

Red Coat Tuesday Featuring Zoya Demetria

*purchased by me*

 

Hey there!  Today is the season finale of Pretty Little Liars so it was decided we would bring back Red Coat Tuesday which I couldn't be more excited about!  This season has actually been really good in my opinion, and I'm just hoping for a big reveAl tonight!  

 

For my Red Coat Tuesday post I started with a base of Zoya Demetria which is a very unique, but beautiful red.  

When my base was completely dry, I added Green Goddess Creations Pretty Little Liars water slide nail decals. I received these as a gift from my friend Joy and have been waiting to wear them. I think they are perfect for the summer finAle!  

Each slide is one of the main girls, Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer plus the It's Me Bitches A decal!  I did have a little trouble getting the water decals not to have air bubbles, but otherwise I'm happy with how they turned out.  

I'm so excited for tonight's episode, and I can't wait to see who Charles is. Supposedly we are going to finally come face to face with A, but we've heard that before so we'll see!  

How have you felt about this season? Any ideas who A is?

Born Pretty Store Maple Leaf Water Decals

*press sample*

Hey there!  Today I have for you these cute maple leaf water decals from Born Pretty Store.  

I've never used water decals before and was surprised how easy they actually were.  They come with instructions on the package which was great. You cut out the decal you want, remove the plastic, and submerge the decal in water for 10-20 seconds.  It slides off the paper, and you place it where you want it on the nail. Then you dry your nail with a paper towel and seal it with topcoat. 

I layered these decals over two coats of Smitten Polish Penny Dreadful. They will look great over a lot of different base colors though. 

I had picked my review items back in September and thought these would be perfect for fall. Unfortunately they didn't get to me until last week though.  I still wanted to try them out, and I think they're really cute!  

As I mentioned in a previous post, Born Pretty Store is great for affordable nail art supplies.  They ship from China though so it can take a while for the items to get to you. Here is their website, and you can order these water decals here. Use code SGSG10 for 10% off your order.  Now through December 17th, they are having a massive Christmas sale so make sure you take a look!  Please like them on Facebook and follow them on Instagram.
