Anchors Away

*Press Samples

Hi, everyone!

Wow, I've been gone for a while. I honestly didn't mean to stay gone this long, but life gets in the way. Anyways, I'm back and plan to make up for all of the time that I've missed!

Here is my first manicure, to get me back in the swing of things!  It features some of my favorite brands, so let's get right into it!

Let's start with the basis of all manicures: nail upkeep. I've currently been using a four-way buffer* from Born Pretty Store to keep my nails in shape! I would consider this buffer one of the best I've ever used - it hasn't shown a lot of wear and I've been using it for a while now! You can find it on Born Pretty Store's website for $1.99 USD!

For my pinky I started off with two coats of Zoya Ryan*. Then, I added the cute seagulls from the QJ-197 water decal sheet*, which retails for $0.99 USD at Born Pretty Store! I'm a little upset that they didn't transfer like I'd hoped, as they don't have a white background. I was, however, very happy with the way the anchors transferred onto my thumb (not pictured).

For my ring and index fingers I started off with two coats of OPI Red My Fortune Cookie. Then, I transferred full nail water decals from the BP-W07 sheet*. For my middle finger I started off with two coats of Wet n Wild French White Creme and I used a decal from the same sheet. The BP-W07 water decal sheet retails for $1.99 USD.

I really love the way this manicure turned out! It is definitely a great summer send off mani!

Hi everyone!

Can you tell that I have been on a water decal kick lately? They are seriously my new favorite thing! This is my last post about them for a while though, seeing as I have used my collection up! :)

I ordered the $0.99 lucky water decal bag from Born Pretty Store and I loved the two sheets I received. I got JS-018 and B-090, both of which have super cute designs! For this look I used the B-090 sheet and Essence Off to Miami!

Princess Water Decals

Hi everyone! 

Sorry I haven't been around for the last few weeks. I got a job at a popular coffee chain and I can't wear nail polish for food safety reasons, which makes blogging a lot harder. I'm going to try to post on a more regular schedule, so we will see what I can manage. :)

For today's look I used the QS-017 water decal sheet from Born Pretty Store. This sheet features most of the Disney princesses in one way or another and is super cute! I chose to apply these two decals over China Glaze Petal to the Metal! You can find these decals at Born Pretty Store for $2.65USD, plus use the code YSG10 for 10% off!

Hi, everyone!

I have been loving water decals lately! They are perfect for fast nail art looks. Today's look features some of my favorite types of decals: flowers!

I started off with two coats of my favorite teal, which is a unnamed Color Club. I applied the decals and added top coat to complete the look!

The water decals are the G103 Rose Water Decals from Born Pretty Store. For $2.86 USD you get one sheet of twenty decals. They are good quality and very easy to use! You will get the perfect placement every time!

Zoya Ana & Born Pretty Store Water Decals

Press Sample

Hey y'all!

Today's look is a super simple, yet delicate look using a new satin polish from Zoya and a water decal from Born Pretty Store! 

 

I started off with two coats of Zoya Ana.

The rose decal came from a sheet labeled HOT-133. I cut the rose out, like you would a temporary tattoo, saturated it with water and the decal slid right off! I placed it on my nail, cut off the excess, and top coated it to make sure it wouldn't budge! 

I'm a fan of water decals as you can move them around to get the perfect placement!

The HOT-133 water decal sheet from Born Pretty Store retails for $2.55USD. Don't forget to use the coupon code YSG10 for 10% off!
