HARE Bisbee!!

Hi everyone! My second post in a week! Yay! Do you like my new blog look?! I was ready for a change! Today I have Hare Bisbee to show you! OMG. Love at first sight. Apparently, this polish is pretty hard to get but I was able to grab a bottle! It's a turquoise base with golden glitters of different sizes suspended in it. It is named for the Gold mines in Bisbee, Arizona according to Hare's description! I layered one coat of this over one coat of Zoya Frida, a turquoise/green jelly!

HARE polish Bisbee and Zoya Frida.

So gorgeous! TONS of glitter!

Application was great! I didn't have to dig for glitter and I got a ton of it on each nail! I've never had to dig for any glitter in my Hare polishes because they are so packed full with glitter! I love glitter! On to the pictures!

My thumb nails grow super long really fast so I cut them down and this time I think I made them a little too short...But I'm sure they'll grow out in a week!




Once again, Hare continues to be my favorite Indy brand. They are so unique and beautiful! I also got two of her new polishes, Electric Flame and Bury the Hatchetfish and I can't WAIT to try them! If you want some Hare polish of your own you can find it on Hare's Etsy store which reopens soon I believe or get it from Llarowe. Be patient! It is hard to get a hold of but wellllllll worth the wait!

IKAT Print Nails!

Hi everyone! I know it's been awhile again, I need to get better about posting more! I just get busy with school and I just got a new job at Sephora! So excited! I've been wanting to try more nail art like I said in my dotticure manicure post and I've gotten some really good ideas from a beauty blogger named MissJenFABULOUS. I LOVE her video blog and tutorials on her youtube channel! She gives some awesome nail tutorials and I decided to try out her IKAT print manicure. Ikat print is really popular right now in clothing and a bunch of other stuff. It looks kind of like a tribal print. So I watched her tutorial and it seemed pretty easy so I decided to try it on two accent nails since it was my first time to try it. It turned out so AWESOME in my opinion! It is one of my favorite manicures I've ever done! I used my index and middle fingers as accent nails and painted the rest of my nails with Butter LONDON Trout Pout, a super pretty coral/cantaloupe color. For my Ikat print I used Lime Crime polishes in Once in a Blue Mousse, Milky Ways, and Lavendairy. I LOVEEEE Lime Crime.

Left to right: Trout Pout, Lavendairy, Milky Ways, and Once in a Blue Mousse.

I thought the Ikat print would be hard to do but it was so easy thanks to the tutorial from MissJenFabulous. And I absolutely love the turnout! I'll let the pictures do the talking:)









Cute, right?! I love it and I love how easy it is! Next time I'm going to do the ikat on all of my nails! BTW, the black was done with an Orly black striper brush. You can get one at Ulta for $5. The key is to do little strokes so it doesn't look perfect and more like true ikat print. Go watch MissJenFabulous' tutorial here and try it out yourself!

Oh and on a sidenote, I don't know if you have noticed but my cuticles aren't dry and cracking anymore! I've been putting on LUSH Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter every night before bed and it is a miracle balm! I highly suggest getting some from Lush's website! Especially with the harsh winter coming up! They give you a ton in a jar too! Great amount for the price!

Great size jar!

I've been using this a ton since July and look how much is left!
