Happy Birthday Felicia! Felicia Day Nail Art!

Hey guys! today's post is to commemorate Felicia Day!
I'm not sure how many of you know this (or how many of you know who she is)
But I'm a super big fan fan girl of Felicia! 
She is super awesome and I love everything she does, and completely respect her to the fullest!
It's her birthday and I've been wanting to do nail art about her for almost a year,
I planned to for Dragoncon but didn't get to go :(


Here's a rundown of what is on each nail.


  • Pointer - The Flog Logo, though she isn't currently making them anymore I highly recommend you to go watch them! I miss her Fave Fives!
  • Middle - This one is my favorite! It's Codex's gear/costume from The Guild!
  • Ring - The Geek & Sundry Logo, here is the Youtube channel. It's amazing, just watch everything she does.
  • Pinky - I wanted to do a nail for The Guild but I couldn't fit it all and decided to do the G!

Kbshimmer Clearly On Top, A England Holy Grail, Zoya - Ziv, Jaqueline, Chyna, & Purity, China Glaze Adventure Red-y, and Illamasqua Nuture. Along with various Acrylic paints!


My mani isn't near perfect but I'm really happy with it!
Anybody else HUGE FD fans?

Fun Layering with Elevation Haba Xueshan and Huangshan!


Hey guys, I have a fun layering combo for you today!
I'm loving my new Elevation's and I've been playing with them up a storm! And I came up with this!
 A Haba Xueshan & Huangsham glitter sammy!

Elevation Haba Xueshan and Huangshan Layering (1)

First I started off with Rimmel French Manicure Pro shade 140, French Rose. 
I think I used two coats. Possibly one.
Then I added a coat of Huangshan, once dry I added a coat of Haba Xueshan.

Then I decided to add another coat of French Rose to jelly sammy it :)

Of course I decided to mattify it! I can't decide if I like it better shiny or matte!
I used
 Butter London's Matte Finish!

Shark Bite - Two coats.

_______________________________________________________


Shark Bite is a gorgeous rose shimmer from the SoFlaJo Wet Dreams Collection (Love it)
It's really very pretty and super shimmery! It's red/purplely/mauvey and super interesting!
I don't think I own a polish like it. It dried fast and it's also very easy to remove.
Shark Bite went on very easily, the formula was a great consistency and went on very controlled.
Not runny but not thick either - pretty perfect!
 I forgot to take pictures before I removed it but it is also so stunning matte!
I will have to wear it again to get matte pictures for you guys!

SoFlaJo polishes are available for purchase from the SoFlaJo website and from Etsy.
They are priced at $10.00 /15mL fullsize or $5.00 /5mL mini.

Stay up to day with SoFlaJo via Facebook and Twitter!


What are your thoughts on this polish? Have you ever tried SoFlaJo?

Glitterdaze American Royalty - Swatches & Review!

Hi all! Today's post is featuring GlitterDaze American Royalty!
And holy crap, I can't believe it is almost the Fourth of July! Where has the time gone?

GlitterDaze American Royalty

American Royalty - Three thin coats.

"Its that time of year again; backyard BBQs, pool parties, and get togethers.  Now you have the perfect patriotic polish to wear to all of these events! American Royalty is our little twist on the classic USA themed polishes; it has multiple shapes and sizes of red white and blue glitter in a light sky blue base as well as some gold accents to give it a little dash of class.
Apply three thin and even coats, top with a thick and glossy topcoat!"

Mattified with Butter London's Matte Finish.

I used three thin coats for American Royalty, there is SO much glitter in this polish!
Seriously my camera had a hard time focusing on it! I even had to re-swatch it!

Despite being so glitter packed it goes on pretty smoothly and easily. And no fishing needed.

There were some shardy bits that wanted to stick up a bit but nothing crazy.
Just use 2-3 coats of topcoat or buff the bits sticking out lightly and use a thick topcoat.
I really like how different AR is than all of the other "America inspired" polishes I own.



You can purchase GlitterDaze products from www.GlitterDazeNP.com

You can purchase this beauty for $11.00 for a 15mL full size polish, or $4.00 for a 4mL mini.

Follow Sana to keep up with GlitterDaze on FacebookInstagram and Twitter!


What do you all have planned on the fourth?
We are going to see my sister and just hang out, and probably play some board games
