My blog now has its very own domain!


I was bursting at the seams with excitement making myself wait (nearly a month!) to post about this! So reset your bookmarks and bounce in your chair with me will ya?

I've also been waiting until this special day to show some nail art with a stamping plate that I bought from Vivid Lacquer, plate #VL001.

When I saw Sarah's stamping with it, I had to have it - plus it goes right along with my blog, don't ya think?

I used OPI Sapphires in the Snow and Nail Fantasies Twist and Shout for base colors and for the stamping. They both stamped really well, and the plate was super easy to use!


I'm so super excited about tomorrow's blog post and I think you will be too! Stay tuned!

Darling Diva: Rescue Me

You may remember the post I did a while back with the Home of the Brave polish from Darling Diva of which she donates 100% of the proceeds to Disabled American Veterans. Well, she's gone and done it again, only this special polish is for doggies, eeee!!

Basset Buddies Rescue (BBR) is an all volunteer group that rescues, fosters and places homeless basset hounds into loving, forever homes. If you want to read more about BBR, their website is http://bassetbuddiesrescue.org/basset/.

She chose this charity because they've helped her find three basset hound doggies to call her own and she has seen first hand how wonderful the BBR group is. Again, she is donating 100% of the proceeds for this polish.

Please show your love this Valentine's day by helping a good cause. :)


Rescue Me is a clear based glitter topper filled with hearts, squares, bars and tiny pink shimmer (love shimmer in polish like this!). I wore this over Revlon First Class which is a Target exclusive in the Top Speed line, however; I think it is very close in color to Superstitious.


Since it has bars, the dabbing method tends to work best for application, however; it can be applied in the usual way it just takes a little more brushing to even it out.


I think she's created a gorgeous polish for an awesome cause! What better way to celebrate Valentine's day?



Rescue Me can be purchased at Darling Diva's Etsy Shop or follow Darling Diva on facebook.
I noticed she is running a facebook special until her new collection launches Saturday - so be sure to use FACEBOOK15 if you're making a purchase at her shop today or Friday.

Products provided for review.

Pinks, oh my!

Color Club's I Believe in Amour is such a pretty shade of pink!

This is three coats plus topcoat. I wore this under The Polish Bar's By Starlight glitter topcoat.


I picked up this Love & Beauty polish at F21 a few weeks ago. The name on the label is Magenta and it has a sticker on the cap that says Raspberry. I didn't really notice whether it was scented because OMGLOOKATTHEPRETTYCOLOR! I fell hard and fast for this one! Two coats, like butter to apply and absolutely gorgeous to look at!
I wore this underneath The Polish Bar's Party Dress.
