Pink Hibiscus Beauty: Snow Flakies Collection


I had the opportunity to review the Snow Flakies collection from Pink Hibiscus Beauty and it's such a fun collection.
Jes, the owner, grew up in the northeast where they had heaps of snow. To make the winter more fun, she has created the Snow Flakies polish collection where every single polish has flakies in it!
These are all available at the Pink Hibiscus Beauty Storenvy.

I wore two coats with topcoat for each polish except for the topper (noted near photo). The formula was good with no issues to report.

With each collection, Jes has also sent a bottle of her cuticle oil to me so I've been using it for a while now and I can say I really enjoy using it! They smell delicious and absorb super fast, which is important to me since I need to shoot fairly quick after the swatch is done. If you haven't tried her cuticle oil yet, give it a shot!

Nail Polish Meme

I posted a meme on facebook a few nights ago and so I thought I'd share it here too.

Nail Art: Dotticure

Is anyone still visiting my blog?

I ask, because I've been absent.
Life is happenng. Adulting is being done. Blog was neglected.
For that, I am sorry.
I expect the coming month to allow me to post more frequently.

With that, how about some delayed nail art from around Christmas time? Maybe I should pretend it's a Valentine's day look..Red for roses and green for leaves?
Either way, it's still cute and was very easy to create!

The base color is two coats of Literary Lacquers Stinky Litte Truck from the 2015 Community Collaboration Collection. The dots were created with polishes from the Crème à la Mode winter box - Digital Nails Arboreal, a glass like jade green and Indigo Bananas Scarlet Night, also glass like but red. I used a dotting tool to apply the dots and then topcoated to finish. Easy peasy and all the polishes played nicely together!

I hope you've enjoyed the mini review and will be back to visit me again!
