LLOLA Meet Up & Sally Hansen Sugar Shimmer "Taffy Tart"

The second meet up of the Los Angles Lacquer Ladies was a huge success!  Once again, I had such a fun time hanging out, but especially shopping with the beautiful and talented ladies in this group.  I always love meeting new faces and seeing old friends.  This meet up's theme was "Friendship".  I chose the theme thinking that everyone would come up with really creative designs representing friendship.  However, the night before the meet up I was stumped!!  I love what everyone came up with and cannot wait for the next meet-up!

China Glaze Textures Part I

Sometimes I go through phases where I am just obsessed with a type of polish or color.  Right now I am a texture hype.  I love everything about them.  Matte, shiny, glittery, pastel, neon, vampy, you name it I want it. I have been hunting high and low for any and all textures that peak my fancy.  China Glaze has a very fantastic set and when I initially saw it, I knew I had to have them all!  In this post I will show two manis featuring all three manis pictured above.  Later on, I will post the second half of the collection.

The first manicure I have for you today features an indie company that I just recently discovered and made my first purchase from.  Pictured here is a jelly sandwich of Pinwheel Polish "Flambeau" and "Fiesta Night Parade".

Uni VoxBox

**Disclaimer: Influenster sent me this complimentary package.  I am not a paid affiliate of this company or any brands mentioned therein.  Any views and opinions expressed are honest and my own.**

Boy oh boy did I let April get the better of me!!  I totally spaced on posting this Influenster Uni VoxBox that I received a few months ago.  I was beyond excited about receiving this VoxBox because of the imPRESS press-on manicure, Redrose Real Tea, and who doesn't love free pens?

Philly Loves Lacquer "Milk was A Bad Choice", Ruby Wings "All Dolled Up" & Day 17/20

Easter this year fell on one of my favorite "unofficial" holidays out there.  I apologize in advance if this offends anyone, but I was born and raised in Southern California, minutes from the beach.  'Nuff said.

In honor of 4/20 Polish Pusher came out with a rasta topper.  I had to have it.  She was so sweet to even include a free mini.  I love me some minis :)

Every year for Easter, the boyfriend and I go to Mexico with his family.  Since I knew painting time was going to be limited, I opted for funny over festive for my manicure for the weekend.  

Also, please excuse my sad excuse of a nub nail.  I had a horrific break the day before I left and was unable to file my nails while on vacation.  I am currently nursing my nail back to full length.
