Happy New Year!!

Hello lovelies! First I just want to wish everyone happiness, joy, and love in the new year. May good things come to you and your families! Everyone partying, please be safe and have a DD if you are drinking.

Tipsy Tow service provides a complimentary ride and vehicle tow up to seven miles from the point of pickup to drivers who have consumed alcohol on New Year’s Eve and the Fourth of July. Tipsy Tow service is available to members and non-members. Ask for a Tipsy Tow by calling 1-800-400-4222.

Anyhow, here is my post for tonight! I am gonna show you Law of Attraction by Formula X for Sephora. Its their new polish that they replaced the Sephora by OPI with. My sister got this for me for Christmas and OMG I am so in love! Its such a gorgeous color and the formula is just awesome!


This is 1 coat without a top coat

This polish is so cool because it some light it looks silver and in others it looks gold. It has a purplish/blue chunky glitter in it too. The base is also a sparkly glittery combination. The bottle is cool, reminds me of Butter London how it has the brush handle cover. The only downside to this polish is the brush sucks. Its real skinny and has a stubby handle. I hate that. However, it doesn't affect my decision to buy more of this brand. The one thing that will stop me is if they tell me its NOT cruelty free. Which I will be really sad about. I couldn't find any info about it online. I figured since its new nobody has really asked about it yet. However I am going to message them and find out, but I didn't want to wait to share it cuz its so pretty. I just assumed since their previous polish line WAS cruelty free that this one probably is too. I can hope. lol

The glitter in this goes on evenly, no digging! WOOT WOOT!! I thought it was a perfect color for New Years cuz of the silvery goldness to it! haha plus anything sparkly works good for new years!! haha

Ok, well I hope everyone enjoyed my short post! Have a great new year and great week! xoLeah

Delaunay & Happy Holidaze

Hi there!!

I hope everyone had a super wonderful Merry Christmas! Hope that you got lots of love and smiles. And of course I hope Santa was good to you and yours! My Holiday weeks have been swamped. I have barely had time to paint my nails or sit down and write blog posts. So sorry for my lack of posting! I am definitely ready for the New Year and the Holidays to be OVER!

Did you have any fun nails for Christmas? I would love to see them! You can post them on our page if you would like!

I didn't have a lot of time but I did want to paint my nails some fun Holiday colors so I chose Delaunay from Julep. This was one of the first colors that I ever had from Julep! I never tried it until the other day. What was I waiting for?!?!?! OMG ! I love this red so much. I love red nail polish almost as much as purple! I can't believe that I waited this long. Its so bright and creamy. Such a dream to apply. Here it is with two coats.



 I used a Holiday glitter topper from My-Stash Lacquers. This was so sparkley! I had a hard time capturing all the sparkle! This was a fun topper and very quick, easy, fun and festive! I wish I would have had a little more time but I was really pleased with this!

 

 Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

PS.

Happy New Year to every one! PLEASE do not drink and drive! It is not worth you life or anyone elses. Please be safe. Have fun!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!


I seen this on Facebook not too long ago and I love it because this is exactly how I feel about the whole situation with people being offended about people saying a certain greeting. Its just rude. You don't have to celebrate it, just respect that they celebrate something different and let them great you how they great people for their holiday. You wouldn't be offended if someone from another country told you hi in their language would you? Anyways, thats just how I feel. So happy holidays to everyone no matter what you celebrate!

 I really wanted to do a lot of Christmas mani's this year, but I have absolutely no Christmas spirit. My kids have been rotten. Even now being Christmas Eve they're screaming at each other and fighting over everything. Its mostly my oldest, he antagonizes his brother and gets him going. My youngest is such a good boy when his brother is at school, he's a different person when he comes home.

I have really been depressing on my last few posts, I am sorry... 

Ok, so here are my Christmas nails. I did two different ones. One on each hand. So the right hand is messy haha. I used mostly all Milani for both manis. Here is the first one:

I smudged the thumb a little, so please ignore that. lol




For that mani I used Nabi White underneath all the glitters. For the middle finger glitter I used NOPI Heavenly Angel. Then here are the Milani colors I used from thumb to pinky: Silver (glitter), Ruby Jewels, Green Glow, Gold (glitter). Green Glow was a very transparent polish. I had to put like 5 or 6 coats on. Its a very pretty color though. I should probably throw out this nabi white polish too cuz its so thick and goopy, its gross. Yet I keep using it for manis because I know right where its at instead of searching for my other whites. lol

For my next mani I used Milani Ruby Jewels, Nabi White, and NOPI Heavenly Angel.




Please ignore my dry skin. This was right after I got out of the shower and the shower dries me out!

I really love using Ruby Jewels for Christmas manis because its sparkly and red. I used it last year I believe too for my Christmas mani. Heavenly Angel is just so pretty and looks like sparkling snow flakes, I love it! I think this is the first time I've used that polish. 

Hope you guys enjoyed my post and have a great Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate!! Tonight my family and I are going to my parents to do our annual Christmas party. Everyone be safe! Merry Christmas! xoLeah

Merry Christmas from my family and I!

Black Metal Magic

Hi there!

Today I want to share with you the very last color that I have from the Wet n Wild Fergie Heavy Metal collection! I hope you enjoyed the collection as much as I did! Are there any colors that you just had to have?

The color that I have for you today is Black Metal Magic. It's the only color in the collection that is not really a Holiday color. Its a black and silver glitter topper polish. Demon snow was what first came into my head when I wore this. I am not a super huge fan of snow so demon snow goes well for me lololol!

Here it is with two coats over Wet n Wild Fergie Heels of Steel- with topcoat.


This is a fun color and not really Holiday specific! Super Heavy Metal!

This was a really nice collection. I was very pleased. Wet n Wild is my favorite drug store brand and the Fergies never disappoint!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Shaken, Not Stirred by Leah

Omg I totally just realized something... I almost did this polish that I am about to show you called "Shaken, not stirred." by My-Stash Lacquer over top of Honey Ryder by OPI. Then I realized it probably wouldn't look right, but wouldn't that have been a funny name combo. Two 007 names. XD

Haha sorry, aaaanyways.... Last week for my mani I showed you Carnival by My-Stash Lacquer and I LOVED it. Panacea showed you one by the same brand too. These polishes are seriously so awesome. Her glitters are amazing. The base for these is like the perfect base, goes on so smooth, isn't drippy at all either.

This one, "Shaken, not stirred" is a sort of  iridescent, small glitter top coat. Dries with a matte finish. It also dried very fast! I tried it over two colors this week. I decided not to do it on a clear nail because the glitters are so small and stuff that I just feel nobody would really use it on just a naked nail. So I used it over Ulta Ruby Slipper on one hand, and Ebony Hates Chris on the other.

The sparkles look red, green, and gold to me. In the bottle it looks white.

Over Ruby Slipper it looks very Christmasy or nice for Thanksgiving even! Over Ebony Hates Chris it has a Halloween look! I am sure over other colors it will have different effects too, so fun!!

Hope you enjoyed my post, enjoy some lovely swatches. I forgot to put cuticle oil on for a couple pics, so ignore my dry fingers/cuticles. lol Winter hates my skin.

Mustache Carnival

Hello lovelies!

I am here to show you a new indie brand today! Woot woot, how excited are you?! I don't even remember now how I found this brand............... I think I seen swatch pics on Instagram now that I think about it. So anyways, I am super glad I found her!! The brand is My-Stash Lacquer and there are mustaches on the bottle! OMG I was so excited because I love mustaches!

Ok, so at first when I received Carnival, my first thought was "I hope I don't have to put on a million coats or dig for glitter." I was extremely impressed, this stuff is AWESOME! The base picks up the glitter SOOOOO well. When I painted my first thumb with it I didn't scrape off the brush because its glitter I thought I would need a few coats. One coat without scraping off the excess was more than enough glitter! So amazed! lol Then I did one coat where I scraped off the extra on my middle finger and it was still awesome, but since I love glitter so much, I did the rest of my nails without scraping off the excess polish. 



I wanted to show it over black because I really love glitter over black, so I used Ebony Hates Chris by Wet n Wild. I also did an accent nail with no color underneath, just naked nail. This is also one non scraped coat. The colors in it are so pretty and the glitters really sparkle in the light, its so gorgeous! Didn't take too long to dry, used Seche Vite for a top coat and it dried about the same speed as any other polishes. 

Not that I expected it to, but it didn't smell strong. I honest to God have no complaints about this polish. Danielle was so nice and she sent me my polishes for review so fast! It also lasted me for a while. The day I picked it off (I have a problem lol) it didn't have any chips in it!

This is definitely my favorite glitter that I have so far. Hope you guys enjoyed my post. Have a great week! Here are a bunch of pics to enjoy! :D
