Polished by KPT - Various Polishes: Swatches, Review, & Nail Art

press sample

Hello, all! I have swatches of some incredibly striking Polished by KPT polishes to share today and I'm so excited about them! While these polishes aren't specific to any particular season, this set of polishes includes a good spread of the pretties that KPT carries in their shop.

KPT carries stunning holos, thermals, glitter toppers, and much more (including so delicious smelling and easy to use cuticle oils!). Overall, I'm really impressed with these polishes and if these 7 are any indicator of the rest of the brand, I think I'll have to add to my newly started KPT collection soon. Let's take a look!

For the Love of Polish - May Galaxy Box: Swatches, Review, & Nail Art

Hello, all! I have a great monthly box to share with you all today! The monthly indie polish box, For the Love of Polish, is a collaboration between Polished for Days and Illyrian Polish. Each month they invite another indie polish maker to join them for a specific theme and create magic! This month, the theme is Galaxy and their guest is Starrily...and you really can't go wrong with that! I also couldn't resist doing a galaxy nail look with each of the polish. Let's take a look!

The Digital Dozen does Fairy Tales - Day 3: The Golden Bird

Nothing to Disclose

Day 3 of The Digital Dozen does Fairy Tales is upon us (yay!), and holy wow am I discovering just how many classic fairy tales are out there! Hans Christian Andersen and the Brother's Grimm each have such prolific works that it's a bit daunting attempting to narrow down potential stories. I've taken to the 'scroll-and-scan' technique, where I scroll down the list of fairy tales and scan for titles that jump out at me.

Tonight's fairy tale manicure is the result of this technique as I have never heard of this story before, but I instantly liked the premise. The Golden Bird tells the story of a king who has a tree of golden apples, but each year, one golden apple gets stolen. Obviously (I mean, we need some conflict!), the king is a bit miffed by his apples disappearing so he sets his 3 sons on the task of discovering who is stealing the apple.

The Beauty Buffs - Metallic: Galaxy Nail Art

Hello, all! Hope your week is going well! I'm finally (and excitedly!) able to get back into the swing of things and post with the talented ladies of the Beauty Buffs! This week's theme is Metallic! I'm not usually one to wear metallics, but I like challenges like this because it makes me think outside the box! In the end, I really like how this turned out!

The Digital Dozen does Summer - Day 1: Stargazing Nail Art

Nothing to Disclose

Hello, all! Guess what week it is!? Yup, the best week of each month - Digital Dozen time!

I'm starting things off with one of my favorite summer time activities, stargazing!

The Digital Dozen does Red, Green & Gold - Day 2: Galaxies!!

Nothing to Disclose

Today is day 2 of the Digital Dozen does Red, Green & Gold and I mentioned in my post yesterday that I really wanted to challenge myself to do something that wasn't "christmas-y"so...it's possible that you're about to see some of the weirdest/ugliest/most awesome (??) GALAXY nails ever! 

April Nail Art Challenge - Galaxy Nails

Can you believe that I am actually done with one of the themes for the April Challenge BEFORE the day it's supposed to start!? Aren't you proud? ;) 

I can't take all the credit for being early. One of my best friends, who has been incredibly supportive of my nail art, has wanted me to do galaxy nails for as long as I've been doing nail art. Frankly, galaxies intimidate me! While I was going to do these for the challenge, I figured I'd do them early because tomorrow is her Birthday party and I wanted to have a surprise on my nails for her! 

I used A LOT of colors for this mani. Possibly too many? I've never done galaxy nails before and it was much harder than I was expecting. I'm still not entirely sold on these yet - I go back and forth between loving and hating them. But I suppose that can be normal. What do you think? Good or gaff?
