Conversation Heart Collection

Hi there!

I hope everyone had a super wonderful and fun Valentines Day! I have always loved Valentines Day, even when I didn't have a Valentine. I just love hearts, and true love is something pretty spectacular and special! I also love going out on Valentines Day! Who doesn't love heart shaped food?!! What were your V-Day plans? Did you do your nails? We would love love love love love to see them!! You can share them here on this post in the comments if you'd like, or you can share them on our Facebook page!

Today I want to share with you the Conversation Heart collection from My-Stash Lacquer. When I saw her post these- I was in love. I just love pastels and light colors so much.... and glitter.. These were right up my ally! These are soooooo cute! I just LOVE them so much! They are super spring-ey and fun pastel so you could even wear them after Valentines Day! They dry a semi matte with fun glitter!! There are four gorgeous colors in the collection! I am going to post them in one post because I don't see them available in her store anymore :///!

When I got them it came with super cute pink mustache tissue paper and a little note that said that the glitters settle because of the matte base, a good shake mixes em' right up! I rolled each of them for less than a minute since I had just gotten them and the glitter seemed to disperse fairly. I was just so excited to try them out ! 

UR A QT, Kiss Me, Luv Ya, Be Mine

The first color I want to show is UR A QT. I could not believe how much I loved this one. Its got an awesome amount of shimmer glitter but with the matte base its not too much. It is such a perfect yellow.

Here it is with two coats no top coat.


 Isn't it perfect? I can't get over it. I love yellow nail polish but I was so surprised It went on so perfect and it looked really so nice on me! I don't have a top coat on in the second picture, my flash made it look that way :/.



 The second color is Kiss Me its a super gorgeous pastel Orange! Orange is my favorite color in life so I couldn't wait to try this one. I love this color so much and the glitter just makes it look even more fantastic!

Here it is with two coats no top coat.


Again, I am just so amazed with how nice this color applies and how nice it looks on me! As much as I love yellow and orange polishes, sometimes they just don't love me! So these are such a treat !



Next is Be Mine. I just love this soft pink so much! This is a GREAT spring/ Easter color too. It kind of looks like a speckled egg! The pink glitters add just the right touch to this beautiful color. They are subtle and not in your face.

Here it is with two coats no top coat.


This is definitely in my top 10 list of pinks I love!




The last color that I have to show you is Luv Ya! It is a super pretty pastel purple with tiny holographic glitters. Purple polish is my favorite so I really could not wait to try this color and show you! I love love love love love love love it!! I don't have a ton of pastel or even light purples so I am really happy to have this in my collection. Its so pretty.

Here it is with two coats no top coat.



I seriously loved this collection so hard. It is so pretty and fun and happy! I can't wait for spring to get here even more with these polishes! They were so nice to apply and super easy to remove, even with the glitters!

I used these for my Valentines Day mani. I had to use flash for the red writing to show up so the colors are a little darker!


Have you tried any My-Stash Lacquers? I am a huge fan! Check her out and give her a 'like' on Facebook and take a look at her Etsy page. Her polishes are super affordable - full sizes rage from $6-6.50 and she has a mini special 3 for $8 or $3 each!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy and had a wonderful Valentines Day!

Valentines Day/Anti Valentines Day

Hello lovees!

When I was doing my waterfall mani a few weeks ago, I decided that I was going to give it another try on my other hand with some different colors. I decided that I would try some Valentines colors. I used Hedy's Ma.nish.ma Nuclear Pink for the base. Its dries matte, so I thought doing a whole matte version of the waterfall nails would be cute. So for the lines I used Art Club Duo Pen Red, Art Club Duo Pen Holo Silver, Art Club White. I had originally wanted to try polka dots in Valentines colors, hence my thumb being polka dots. I decided I didn't want to do them all that way, but I was going to keep it. I used the the same base color and same silver, but for the red I used Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Red and the Sally Hansen I <3 Nail Art Pen in White. Since the lines weren't matte finishes, I decided to use My Stash Lacquers Shaken, Not Stirred for my top coat. While doing the top coat, I smudged my thumb. I just left it though cuz I was being lazy. lol

Then a few days later I decided that I wanted to do a Anti Valentines Day mani. I had tried doing Zoya Storm as a base with a red and black Hard Candy polish, but it looked terrible together. lol So instead I did this. I had taken off the first mani and did this one, so the first mani left a mess that I really didn't notice much until I was taking pics. lol So excuse the mess. haha

I got Zoya Storm for Christmas from Panacea. When I had looked at pictures of it in the past I wasn't all that fond of it, but when I tried it I fell in love! Its definitely my favorite black polish now! Such a gorgeous color! Finished the mani off with some hearts in Rock It by Orly. I just love these two colors together, I think they look so gorgeous together!

Happy Valentines Day!

Hi there :)

I know I told you all already how much I LOVE Valentines Day! :D I am so sad that I have to work tomorrow! My Husband and I for the last few years have stayed home and made heart shaped raviolis and watched scary movies. We might still watch scary movies when I get home but we won't have time to make the raviolis...  There's always next year! Do you and your honey have Valentines Day traditions?

 I was so excited for all the super amazing Valentines Day mani's I was going to do, then drew a blank and life happened and I never really got around to them. I finally have today off and wanted to do at least ONE V-Day mani!

I chose a pretty pale pink from Pure Ice called Love. How perfect! I really do love this color but I don't think it is a stand alone color for my skin.


I used Pure Ice - Wet T- Shirt to do a tip on all my nails except my accent nail which I used Pure Ice - Come Closer. I was really pleased with how well the colors went with each other. I also did a small heart on my ring finger with Wet T- Shirt.



Thank you all for reading ! I hope you enjoy. Happy Valentines Day!
