Ever After: Princess Collection (First Edition)

Disney's iconic princesses serve as the inspiration for Ever After's exclusive collection of fairy tale nail polishes. Each of them aim to capture the essence of each Disney Princess: her grace, her sparkle and her legendary beauty. Begin your once upon a time adventure with the first three polishes of the series.

A Kiss Would Be Nice, Yes? - Zesty lime green filled with silver sparkle micro flakes and holographic rainbows. Inspired by Princess Tiana from the Princess and the Frog.

A Whole New World With You - Princess Jasmine sports the hottest look in Agrabah, and you can too! This perfectly matched sea foamy blue polish is filled with sparkles and rainbows. Shining, shimmering, splendid! Are you ready for your magic carpet ride?

Once Upon A Dream - A flirty rose shade, packed with silver shimmery flakes and holo rainbows. Inspired by the romantic love song Princess Aurora sang in Sleeping Beauty.

I wore two coats of each polish, formula was smooth and easy to apply as I've come to expect with Ever After brand polishes. These were all quite dazzling with mirror-like shine and sparkle, just as a Princess should be!
Fantasy, romance and adventure await you! (Yeah, I know it's 'just' polish, but a gal can dream!)

Ever After is launching these in limited quantities along with several other new polishes on Friday March 4th at 5pm Central time.
Come back and visit me to see what else is launching Friday at Ever After!

Oceanic Nail Art with Grace-Full polish


After my review of the True Blue collection, I was inspired to do a little nail art. I went with an oceanic theme, and used the polish called Barrier Reef Coral as the base. I hope you enjoy it!

To stamp, I used my clear jelly stampers from Aliexpress. They are fairly squishy and have clear handles - such a brilliant idea! I especially like that the one came with a cap.

The plates I used are:
Finger Angel V09 for the octopus
Finger Angel V15 for the foamy water design, fish, starfish and jellyfish
Vivid Lacquer 24 for the bubbles

Stamping was done with Mundo De Unas stamping polishes.

What do you think of the sea life motif?

Destination Duo: Boston Mass


This month the Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Destination Polish Duo is a collaboration with Ever After. Their polishes were based on a photo that Julie took of the lavender windows on Beacon Hill while visiting Boston, MA.

Blue-Blood Brownstone - Brick red linear holo with purple shimmers and a strong purple flash.
I wore one coat with topcoat, the formula was smooth and easy to apply.

The Lavenders - A purple jelly with scatter holo, lavender holo glitter and red shimmer.
I wore two coats with topcoat and love the squishy depth and red sparks that flash with movement.

The duo will also include Ever After Cuticle Crelli in a lavender scent. It will be available for a limited time beginning tomorrow, February 25th through 29th at the Blue-Eyed Girl shop. The box will cost $25 shipped within the USA or $25 with a prorated shipping fee outside the USA.

I love the inspiration photo and I think the polishes were really well executed. I hope you've enjoyed the review and will follow me for more!
