Simple Gray Studded Look

Today I have a super simple look to share with you. I don't usually wear bold or dramatic looks to work, but sometimes it's nice to spruce things up by wearing something a little more than a plain color.

Products Used:
-KBShimmer - How You Dune?
-Born Pretty Store studs

I wore this for a couple of days this week before taking it off, but it felt perfect. The studs were simple, yet sort of cute edgy (I mean, they are studs so how can they not be sort of edgy) and I love neutral grays like this.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Twinsie Tuesday: Summer to Fall Transitional Polish w/ Born Pretty Store Studs

This week's Twinsie Tuesday theme is Summer to Fall Transitional Polish. I can't believe that it's September and that summer is basically over! Crazy!!

I couldn't just pick a transitional polish, I had to do some nail art as well.

The polish that I picked was OPI Skull & Glossbones. You know I love a good greige color and this one is one of my favorites, I think it can be worn in any season, so why not Summer to Fall :)

I added a blingy nail with some silver and gold studs from Born Pretty Store. You can find the studs HERE. The studs come in a pack of 500pcs in 3 different sizes and two colors.

Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired by your bag

Happy April First!! I can't believe it's already April.

This week's theme for the Twinsies is Inspired by your bag. I really love my bag, its a Kate Spade crossbody bag and it's perfect for my lifestyle.

This is the bag:



Source: Kate Spade

The inside of the bag has a black and white striped lining and I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture, but the accents/hardware is gold.

Here is my look:

Polishes Used:
-KB Shimmer - Eclipse
-OPI - Alpine Snow
-Hard Candy - Matte-ly in Love

I really love how this came out! It is a simple yet classic look in my opinion. The accent nail representing the bag's lining and the gold stud representing the gold spade stud on the purse. (If only I had a spade shaped stud, I would've been in heaven)

What do you think? Can you see the bag interpreted onto my nails?

Born Pretty Store - Studs

Today I am showing you another awesome product from Born Pretty Store. STUDS! I had seen other bloggers using studs and never really thought they would be for me, until I got them, and now I am seriously in love and can't believe I haven't used these sooner.

Here is the picture from the Born Pretty Store website:

Here is the link to the studs: http://www.bornprettystore.com/silver-square-stud-rhinestone-acrylic-nail-p-2859.html

Here is how I used the studs:

I decided to use a neutral base so that there would be a nice contrast of soft and hard with the studs. I actually work this the first day back at work and felt like it was completely professional. The studs also stayed on all day at work with lots of typing, I just applied them over top my wet polish and coated with Gelous and OTD and it was a surprisingly smooth finish. I kept touching them but they never even loosed up, which is great!

Pros:

-The studs stayed on all day long

-Easy to apply and place

-Can do numerous neat designs placing them in the "Square" or "Diamond" position

-Free Shipping on all orders from Born Pretty Store

Cons:

-None really, but just be careful to pour a small amount of studs out on a contained surface, if they entire bag accidentally spills out, it would be a pain to clean up, but you will have this will all nail art supplies.

Don't forget that Born Pretty Store has these and tons of other Nail Art supplies, and if you order, use my promo code below to save 10% on order!
