NOTD: Butter London- Henley Regatta

Lately I've been really impressed with Butter London. It's 3 free and tends to last longer than other nail polish brands.



I'd seen Henley Regatta for a while and was really excited to see that Ulta had it in stock recently!



Unfortunately, I was not really impressed with this shade. In the bottle, it looks like a gorgeous pigmented teal color. In reality though, it is a glitter with not much pigmentation and it flaked off of my nails within a few days :(

NOTD- Zoya Holly

I FINALLY got around to trying my Zoya Holly polish that I got in my Birchbox a few months ago and love the color!


I used the Julep Peacock nail appliques that I got in my Julep Mystery box as an accent nail.


Unfortunately, the Zoya polish looks very turquoise from the bottle so I thought the color and the appliques would go together perfectly and in reality they end up madly clashing!

NOTD- Essie Case Study

I've been kind of obsessed with taupe and nude shades lately, so when I saw Essie's Case Study at Target the other day it was a no brainer!


I used my Konad and OPI's Elephantastic Pink for the zebra stripes on my thumb and third finger



Also if you haven't yet, be sure to enter my NARS Danmari palette giveaway as tomorrow is the last day left to enter!

Holiday NOTD Using my new Konad!

As it is nearing Christmas, I thought it would be fun to do something a little festive for my NOTD:


 This was my first try with my new Konad stamper! I used Sephora by OPI Charge It! for the pattern on my middle fingers.


I also used the glitter I got with my December Julep Box on my thumbs


                       For the base color, I used Wocka Wocka by OPI's  Muppet Collection


It's kind of sloppy because I was in a hurry, and the color is much more of a deep red than the pictures show :{

Overall, I like the Konad. It takes some getting used to and practice, but seems like it will be a lot of fun in the future!

NOTD- Sally Hansen Salon Effects and Julep Helena

So, after months of wanting to try out the Sally Hansen Salon Effects in houndstooth, I finally found them in stock at Wal-Mart in a double pack for $10!


I LOVE the houndstooth print, but I think it would be a bit too much for all of my nails so I used it as an accent nail:




On the rest of the nails I used Julep's Helena polish:


Also, I am SUPER EXCITED to have reached over 100 followers! I will be hosting my giveaway very soon- I am thinking about giving away a NARS Danmari palette!

NOTD- OPI Muppette's Collection: Excuse Moi

A while back, I got the mini OPI Muppette's Collection to try out:

I got it for $12 from Ulta, so gave me a good way to try out several of the colors for cheap!


So far, Excuse Moi is the only one that I've had a chance to try out, but I love it and am definitely going to get the full size!


The color is a gorgeous light pink with mostly silver glitter, and a few pieces of iridescent glitter that turn green and purple. It's super sheer though, so I put 3 coats on to get this look.

I also got a few new toys to try out :)
