justifying all this nail polish
I’m really excited to share my first product sent for review today. It’s the Clear Jelly Stamper set from Born Pretty Store. I’ve got two manicures to show you that I made with this stamper set. Read on to find out what I thought, and for a discount code at the end.
At the end of January, I joined a challenge group called Nail Crazies Unite. Week one only got posted to my Instagram and the Facebook group, but this week I am on top of things enough to get Week Two – Love Song up before the deadline. I had a pretty spectacular fail with my first attempt at a love song manicure, which involved double stamping over the red textured polish you see in this manicure, and you can see that on Instagram as well, but let us never speak of it again.

I dug through my stamping plates for this image I knew I had somewhere, and I pulled it out before she got here.
I must apologize for the random silences around here lately. My life in a minor state of upheaval, and I don’t have a sufficient buffer to have the blog trundle along as if nothing is happening behind the scenes. It’s mostly good, but it certainly is taking up some time.
Aside from that though, today I have some cute cupcakes from my new stamping plates, and a wee bit of glitter on Sandra’s nails. Sandra’s had a bit of breakage lately, and I keep harassing her to moisturize more, but it’s an uphill battle. I know she;s working on it though. See more after the break.
