Nail Art Inspiration Via a Challenge

Lately I have had no inspiration for nail art, so I thought I would make my own little Nail Art Challenge for when I needed an idea for nail art. I searched through past nail art challenges and pulled some themes and ideas and compiled them in to one really long list! If you would like to play along too feel free to do so. Please tag your posts with SBBNailChallenge or use #SBBNailChallenge on Instagram, that way I can see all of your amazing nail art! This is not a weekly challenge so don't feel pressured to post every week (unless you just want too), just when you are looking for some inspiration. Also no need to go in order, just do what sticks out to you. I started with Number 16 so keep scrolling ;)

Today I get to mark off number 16 Water Marble. I am not 100% happy with this because I got a couple of dings and a air bubble, but the parts that didn't get dinged look pretty good and I spent way to much time on it not to share LOL

I used two polishes that I recently won from Heather over at  Crazy Beautiful Makeup. I tried some other colors that I wanted to use but they just would not work for me, but these two worked amazingly and how cute is that packaging!

I usually pull from the outside of my polish ring to the inside, but after watching some videos on YouTube I tried pulling from the inside out and created a spider web like effect. I never knew there were so many other techniques to water marbling!

I hope y'all will join in my challenge with me :)

Don't know if I will be getting anything this time around, but wanted to pass along this awesome deal I seen on Facebook from Zoya!

Blogging Blues

I have been such a total flake when it comes to blogging lately, I think I have the blogging blues! I will have at least two nail product reviews coming up soon, but after that I have no clue. I  may go with micro-blogging on Instagram, so if you don't follow me already and want to keep up with me that will be the best place to find me. If you have Instagram, leave your user name in the comments. Hopefully I will get out of my funk soon.

I do however have some exciting news! Zoya is having another one of their amazing sales, 3 bottles of polish for only $12! The sale ends on July 6th. You can read all about it over on Zoya's Blog. It has been super slow loading with me, so just be patient.

I can not make up my mind which 3 colors I want, so if you have any suggestions leave those in the comments too :)

I love L.A. Colors

L.A. Colors brand nail polish is one of my favorites! It's super affordable, comes in great colors, looks great and wears great on the nails. I was looking through the sales paper for Fred's and seen they had a set of 7 polishes for $5, so I went out today and picked one up. It's a Color Craze Limited Edition Series 2 Modern Metallics, and I love a good metallic nail polish! The set comes with 6 color polishes and one clear coat, which I do not like at all. I love all of the color polishes though. I don't like the clear coat because if you use one of the stamper things it will smear it. I tried it over one of the test nails that i had stamped about a week ago and it ruined it as you can see in the image below.

Have you tried any L.A. Colors nail polish? What's your favorite?

You can see how the clear coat smeared the stamp image on the nail at the far left.

Great Deal at CVS

I have been looking for the Wet 'n Wild Mega Shield lip stick in the shade Birthday Suit for a while now and I finally found one at my local CVS and boy did I get a great deal on it! Currently CVS is having a sale on Wet 'n Wild products 2 for $3. The lipstick is normally $1.99, which is not a bad price to start with, so with the sale it would have been $1.50, but there was a coupon to save $1!! So in the end I scored the lipstick for only $.60!!

If you are like me and you love Wet 'n Wild products head out to your local CVS! The 2 for $3 sales ends on April 28th! If you already took advantage of this sale, what items did you pick up?

Amazing NYX Deal!

So my husband and I were out shopping the other day at a store called Fred’s and I was looking through a clearance bin and found some NYX lipsticks they had marked down to $1.70. I decided not to get them and regretted it so I went back to today to see if they had any left and they did. When I got ready to pay the cashier told me I owed her a penny! I asked her are you serious LOL so what an AMAZING deal!!! When I got home I was wishing I had of got some more, so I decided to go back LOL I found 2 more lipsticks ($.01 each) and an eye shadow ($.50).

Here is my receipt LOL
