Hello lovelies! Today I'm reviewing three of the new Powder Perfect stamping plates. I am super impressed by the variety and quality of design in all three.

My Favorite 16 posts in Four Years of Blogging

I started compiling this list a couple weeks ago but it's taken until now to finish it. My original plan was to do a list of my top eight post from the last four years. I browsed through all 590 post I've done so far and came up with over 50. I worked on whittling it down as much as possible and finally settled on my favorite 16 instead. Even that was next to impossible so I fudged a little with some "honorable mentions" at the end. I hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane!

Colores de Carol Romantique Collection (A Nail Polish Society Collaboration)

Hello my wonderful Society Sisters! I am so excited about today's post because I finally get to show off this collection I've been collaborating on with Colores de Carol! Born from my affinity for brown polish, I had made the suggestion of a holographic collection that was all neutral. The lovely and talented Carolina ran with it and came up with eight gorgeous shimmery, holographic, creme shades. Then I did my thing (my favorite hobby inside of a hobby) and came up with all the names. 

I wanted to come up with a theme that fit the mood of all the shades and tied them together. The soft, neutral color palette exuded a sort of intangible feeling of intimacy and romance. The stream of consciousness flowed as I envisioned a sensuous laid-back woman; beauty that comes from a quiet confidence; those sophisticated Parisian women with a certain.. je ne sais quoi. And so the Romantique theme was imagined with French derived names that I feel fit each shade very nicely. Let's take a look..

Hello lovelies! I have a beautifully bright and colorful post for you today! The KBShimmer Summer Vacation collection consists of eight shimmery shades full of special "holo glow" flakes. I photographed my swatches under artificial light which always kills the holo sparkle, but in person they are all very sparkly. The formulas were all great and applied nice and smooth, except for one which dried down a little bumpy. They were also all two coaters except for the yellow, which is no surprise for that color. Is your interest piqued? Let's take a look..

Aloha! I have five festive glitter toppers from Colores de Carol to share with you today! The two shades with smaller glitters were the easiest to apply, and the ones with larger glitters take a little more care in application. I really like the combo of colors and especially the micro holographic glitter that my camera struggled capturing. Let's take a look..
