Taupe and Lace || Nail Art

This week for my nails, I used one of my nail stamps. I love how they turned out. I highly recommend nail stamping if you like nail art. Super fast and easy with impressive results.

Hello World!! Bold Blue Nails

I'm back! Man, I've missed you guys!
So in the last two months-
My honey got a new job in Milwaukee- we lived in Colorado Springs
Packed or sold everything
Moved to Milwaukee
I came back to Colorado to work for three weeks
Back to Milwaukee
Looking at buying a house for the first time! (I will be writing some tips about buying a home down the road, learned so much)
Reconnected with lots of friends, we both went to high school here...so we are moving back home, haven't lived here for 12 years!
I think that's everything.

New nails -
The blue is from my September Birchbox Color Club Insta-This $8- awesome color! One of my winter favorites - looks cute alone, or paired with neutrals/bolds.

Then on pointer and ring finger I used China Glaze Crackle Black Mesh $4, if you haven't used crackle nail polish...first off where have you been? Second go get some, every brand makes a similar polish now. Super easy to use and it is a really cool effect - just paint one coat, try your best to not paint over where you've already painted, then watch it split apart, really cool to see, then when dry use your favorite top coat.

Missed you all! I'm so excited to share with you all the exciting stuff I'm doing/making/finding/trying!

LA FRESH® Eco Beauty Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover Wipes Review

 Received in my June Birchbox

"How it Works - Each travel-friendly pad contains enough remover to get rid of the polish on all ten nails. But it doesn’t stop there: the formula is packed with soothing aloe, glycerin, and Vitamin E, plus horsetail and rosemary extracts to keep our nails strong and healthy. Did we mention that it’s free of sulfates, parabens, and artificial fragrances" - From Birchbox website.

MY THOUGHTS:
Each package claims to work on all 10 nails, I wanted to give them the best test so....I tried them two separate times once with black polish & and once with glitter polish. It worked good on the black, but did have some trouble with the glitter. I loved the smell and they are very convenient. I would say they are perfect for travel or if you don't use glitter. They also make make-up remover wipes I'd like to try.

Cost: $9.99 for 18 wipes
Buy here

If you try these, what did you think?
