Twinsie Tuesday Special Edition Anniversary Post: Recreate Another Twinsie's First TT Mani

Today is a special edition anniversary post from the girls in the Twinsie Tuesday group. Normally we post on Tuesdays (obviously), but for the group's anniversary, we did manicures inspired by another participant's first TT post.

I was so excited when I was assigned to Stephanie (A Little Polish) because I absolutely fell in love with her TT debut mani and immediately knew I eventually wanted to recreate it! Here's what her mani looked like:

The technique Stephanie used has a very grungy feel to me, though not actually what is known as a "grunge mani". I love the brush stroke-y look in this!

Barielle Review - Straight A Coral

So I was recently contacted by Barielle and was beyond ecstatic when they asked me to join their team of bloggers and review products! Yes, I review for Born Pretty Store, but I consider this to be my first big "contact" because it seems like everyone and their brother reviews for BPS. It is not very exclusive. In fact, I sometimes wonder how they make any money at all when they have so many reviewers. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining at all, but I just kind of feel like a big girl in the nail world now! ^.^

Anyway, the Barielle rep had me choose a few things from their online shop (Which arrived in under a week, might I add! Amazing!) and I am going to share one of them with you today!

Here's what they sent: a gigantic scrub, some delightful hand cream, a few beautiful polishes, and a matte (topper) polish that can be worn alone or over color. Today I am going to show off the pink polish you see in the bottom left. It is called Straight A Coral.

On the website, the description of this polish I feel is probably mixed up with another one. It is referred to as "creamy neon green". Clearly, it is not green. Neon though, oh boy is it ever!

Twinsie Tuesday - Nail Care Routine

This week for Twinsie Tuesday, we'll each be sharing our nail care routines with you.

What I'll be showing you today is not my everyday nail care ritual, but more of an ultimate, comprehensive medley of tips and practices that will take care of everything from whitening to moisturizing, the whole shebang. 

Born Pretty Store Review - 3D Full-Nail Applique

Today I have a pretty neat product from Born Pretty Store to show you! I'm not sure what exactly to call these, though. I'd say they fall somewhere in the "rhinestone" category maybe?

I know these are not for everyone. They are 3D and stick up off the nail quite a bit, but I love them! I love how they look a lot more than I thought I would!

My base for this mani is the same set of nail stickers from BPS that I posted yesterday.

Born Pretty Store Review - Glitter Nail Strips

Born Pretty Store is selling some new nail strips and I have a set of them to share with you today!
