China Glaze Halloween 2017; Happily Never After

Evening lovelies!  Hope you had a nice Wednesday.  It's my kids short day so I get to spend a little more time with them.  Since we skipped gymnastics and soccer was canceled we went on a bike ride around our neighborhood to look at houses with Halloween decorations up.  A few were done up, but most only had up a few things, a pumpkin, spider webs.  We'll have to do it again closer to Halloween to see if things got more festive and spooky.  Since we are talking about Halloween I thought I'd share the newest China Glaze collection.  Happily Never After is the Halloween 2017 collection and it's pretty fantastic!  You can pick these up now at your local Ulta or Sallys.  Alright, let's jump in and check them out!

Chloe + Isabel Nail Polish Trio

Good morning dears!  It's Monday, boo.  Thankfully I have a pretty little nail polish trio to share with you today.  Maybe it will make your day better.  I'm not sure if you've heard of Chloe + Isabel before.  It's a fun fashion jewelry brand that has recently ventured out into makeup, bags, candles, accessories and....nail polish!  I've been a merchandiser since 2011 and love having the perfect piece of jewelry to wear with every outfit, but I did feel the brand was missing something.  I'm really happy they expanded their product line up.  Once I saw they had a nail polish kit I had to snatch that up right away.  You can purchase this trio for yourself or as a gift for $28.  From now until 12/28 you can save 25% site wide with the code FFHOL25.  Let's jump in and check out the polish!

July 2016 Destination Duo, Lolo Pass Montana; Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer & 6 Harts

Good evening dears!  I have a fantastic duo to share with you tonight.  You are probably aware that Julie from Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer has a monthly Destination Duo box, a polish duo created with another indie maker where they both use a scenic/vacation picture for inspiration.  This month the guest maker is the lovely Courtney from 6 Harts and the inspiration is a picture she took of Lolo Pass in Montana.  With just that little snap shot of the woods I can only imagine how beautiful and scenic Montana is.  I am always in awe when I see wooded parts of the country and stunning mountain ranges.  Where I am from it's mostly just golden (read dried out tall grass and weeds) hills.  But it's pretty in it's own way too.  So the details you want to know about.  The July Destination Duo will be available on 7/7 at 3:30pm Eastern.  The box will be $30 shipped within the USA, $20 + shipping international.  There are 30 boxes total split between the 2 shops so you can head over to either once the time hits and start shopping!  Now let's jump in and check out this box!

Here is the inspiration picture of Lolo Pass, Montana. 

And here's a bottle shot of the polishes!  You will also get that fun little baggie of glitter as an extra.  You can fancy up wither polish by adding the glitter to the top.  It's not recommended to put the glitter into either polish though.  

Happy 4th of July!

Good evening!  Happy 4th of July!  Some of you are probably getting ready for fireworks, how exciting!  It's only 6pm here but we are probably just going to stay home and avoid all the madness and crowds.  Besides, we've enjoyed a nice relaxing day at home, watching movies (Independence Day of course) and playing on the slip n slide.  I threw together a quick mani and am pretty pleased with how it turned out.  So feel free to head over to my Facebook page and share your 4th of July manis there, I'd love to see them.  Now let's check out what I've got on.

KBShimmer Summer 2016

Good evening beauties.  I'm excited to share this post with you because it's full of fantastic colors and finishes for the Summer season.  When I think of the Summer, I think hot weather, dips in the pool, vacation to a tropical paradise, bbq's in the backyard.  KBShimmer's Summer collection is inspired by similar ideas; the beach, cool drinks, and time with friends!  Loving the ideas behind these polishes because there's really no better time to sit back and relax, soaking up the good life.  The Summer collection launches tomorrow, 6/1.  Each polish will be $9.25.  So since this post is pretty large let's not dilly dally and jump right in!
