BYE Felicia

I'm not super loving the Month In Review posts or the Weekly Nail, so I'm stopping both of them. My nail polish is lasting way longer than a week so I think I'll just throw some pics on here whenever I feel like it.

Bye Felicia blog post series I always start and always discontinue.

XOXO

Weekly Nail: ft. Happiness Boutique

Sorry I'm a minute late on this! I do my nails on the actual Sunday, so this is what my nails will look like all this week. 

This week, I am featuring an online boutique called Happiness Boutique. I don't know how many of you have been following since pre-marriage days, but I used to wear A LOT of rings. I took all of them off my left hand when I got married, and then I just haven't bought any more.

This eye ring reminds me of that scene in A Series Of Unfortunate Events ahaha. I am a big fan of dainty/gold jewelry. My goal is to have a bunch more on my right hand. I love those gypsy-esque vibes that come from wearing lots of rings. Anyway, here's the link to their ring gallery! 

If you use the code "emmyjake" you can get 10% off until August 22nd! They have free shipping and a monthly reward program if you're interested.

Ok I am also going to show you guys how last week's nails held up. Nothing is worse than spending the money on nail polish and having it chip :(. So, last week's nail polishes can be found here and I think they held up really well! I'm still really obsessed with Zoya. I'm sad they don't have an affiliate program or anything because I would be all over that.

XOXO

Weekly Nail: OMGZ

Ok can I just tell you guys that the nails I did 2 weeks ago lasted ALMOST 2 WEEKS! Usually I have chips after the first day or two, but they seriously didn't chip until like day 6 or 7. I am going to make a gif of these though, so you guys can see for yourself.

I mainly switched to Zoya cause it was 5 free, but I am sticking with it because it's really good quality and lasts forever. I think it might be the top coat?

Anyway, you can just freehand these scallops! It really is pretty easy :)

XOXO

Weekly Nail: Sunsetty

I am so disappointed in these photos but these nails were seriously IMPOSSIBLE to photograph. They kept blending whenever I made them brighter, so I just gave up.

Anyway, did anyone get my Baby Mama reference? Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are my favorite power couple even though they aren't a couple.

OH. And also Zoya is having a buy 3 get 3 free sale, which means that it's like $4 a bottle which is a GOOD DEAL. Go buy some. Just enter the code "34free" and follow them on Instagram to see more deals. I am obsessed with their polish.

XOXO

Weekly Nail Is Back

That's right! I'm bringing the weekly nail back because I miss it. Also, if you have tips on how to photograph nails please let me know. My nail photography is ghetto AF.

I don't know if I ever talked about it here, but about 2 months ago I made the switch to natural nail polish. I got rid of all the nail polish I had accumulated over the years and bought 2 bottles of Zoya polish. I have been SO HAPPY with Zoya so far and would recommend it to anyone. I've decided if I'm invited to go get a manicure I'm not going to say no, but for the most part I want to stick to the natural nail polish. I've been really enjoying it so far!

For these ombre nails I used this color, this color, and a makeup sponge! It's actually pretty easy. You just do a base coat of the lightest color. Then, draw two lines on the sponge with each polish (one line per polish). Then you just stamp it on your nail! It will get all over your skin, but I just removed it with a q tip after and it was NBD. 

I want to do a blue to green ombre next!

XOXO
