b.i.t.c.h. by jaclyn: Garden Hoe with stamping nail art

I'm doing this a little bit backward, posting nail art before the collection review; but I just had to share this right away! I'm quite pleased with how it turned out and let's just call this a sneak peek of me wearing Garden Hoe, shall we?

I used hehe stamping plate 4 and MDU stamping polish 24 for the butterfly, SH Extreme Wear White On for the vines, stamped with a brand new stamper from Chelle Lee which is available to order online, and then I placed a few glitters from the May Flowers glitter topper to finish the look.

Black Dahlia: Holo Petals collection



The Holo Petals collection from Black Dahlia consists of six polishes; three scattered holos and three linear holos. These launched earlier in April for spring and are available now!
Every single one of these polish's formula is phenomenal. A smooth easy to apply formula goes a long way with me, especially when they're nearly opaque in one coat! If I were a bit more heavy handed, I could have gotten away with one, but I wore two coats for all the photos. The glitters and glass flecks in these really add dimension and make them unique. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Magical Moss: Silvered celery green linear holo with silver and aqua micro glitter and blue glass flecks
