Luxe Lacquers Review & Swatches

Luxe Lacquers is a fabulous monthly subscription based nail polish company!  Every month they send you four sexy shades that will make any mani that season a total hit!!  What is even more exciting is that from now until July 15th, Luxe Lacquers is offering 25% off your first month's box.  Also, they constantly offer exclusive promotions and discounts through their Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.  I absolutely love the shades I was sent for the month of July!  Manis to follow.

4th of July Manicures

Boy oh boy where has the time gone?  Summer is underway, the World Cup is on, and I am in the midst of a major move.  I have refrained from sharing about this next phase of my life because for awhile there were quite a new things up in the air.  However, now that everything is settled I am pleased to say that I am moving from Los Angeles to San Francisco and will be starting law school come mid-August.  Needless to say, my posts will probably slow down during the move, and especially when school starts.  However!  I promise I am not going anywhere!!  I will continue to do nail art as often as my schedule allows and post everything to my blog.  My IG (@saraxbeara) will probably get updated more often.  

Anyways, 4th of July!  I hope all you pretty ladies had a wonderful holiday and got to see many fireworks.  For this Independence Day I did three looks (wish I had done four tehe).

Winstonia Nail Studs Review

I am so unbelievably lucky because Winstonia sent me several nail art wheels to review!  These studs are not only super cute and unique, but they have just been getting all my creative juices flowing!  I have four manis to showcase utilizing nail studs from each of the four wheels, however, there will be plenty more manis to come!  Check out my IG feed for more up to date manis (@saraxbeara).

Vapid Lacquer Outer Space Review & Swatches

**Disclaimer: I was sent these items to review.  All opinions expressed therein are honest and of my own accord.**

When it comes to cuticle care it seems like there are about 4,000 different products on the market.  I am constantly using a combination of about 6 different products on my cuticles at any given time.  So whenever I have the opportunity to test and try new cuticle treatments I jump at the chance.  Krys over at Vapid Lacquer was kind enough to send me some cuticle oil and cuticle balm to test out while I was swatching some pretties!

Color Club "Bundle of Joy" & Dance Legend "Avada Kedavra"

A couple of lovely ladies and myself on IG decided to get together and a cross-country traveling nail polish box of sorts.  I had seen the idea on an IG that I follow, and heard that there are a bunch of groups on FB that do very similar things.  This box was the start of our Nail Polish Tourist!  Each girl who receives the box has to do a mani with a designated "tourist" polish.  Check out the hashtag #thenailpolishtourist on IG to see all of our gorgeous manis!
