I decided to make a blog to share new beauty finds, beauty and nail tips with the rest of the beauty lovers of the world.I in no way shape or form claim to be a professional, I have had no formal training; Just an everyday girl showing my makeup, beauty, and nail looks. I hope to post anywhere from 3-5 articles or posts a week :) I hope you enjoy!

  27. oh pick me pick me…I would love to win prize number 1

  28. eklinman says:

    Oh, prize one has a stamper! I’ve been putting off trying stamping because I don’t want to slowly accumulate all of the supplies. A good stamper is the one I’m most worried about!

    • Amanda (Mae) says:

      lol I am warning you, once you start you will never stop… at first its the determination of mastering it becuase there are some hardships learning it, or at least for me, then everytime once I have gotten better now, everytime I go to pick colors for a mani I look at my stamps first! lol

      • eklinman says:

        But that makes so much sense! Stamps are really intricate while still being hand-done! And most likely faster than trying to paint the design by hand :-/

      • Amanda (Mae) says:

        oh absolutely! the only bummer is that your base color must be VERY VERY Dry. so sometimes I get lazy and put seche vite and then stamp, but then you have so many layers of polish. But when you stamp, when you put the drops on the stamping plate, scrape and put onto the rubber stamp, if you feel it, its essentially dry. When you press on to your nail, depending on the design some pieces stick up and you have to work with it and press on to your nail.

      • eklinman says:

        huh, never thought of that. I guess it’ll take some tinkering! I hate waiting for base polish to dry. Thats why my gradients always end up messy.

      • Amanda (Mae) says:

        yep, just definetly one of those things that takes some work is all :)

  29. Ow sweety I missed out this great give-away! Have fun picking a winner. I joined on this last day.

  30. Congrats on the upcoming Blogaversary!!! Thanks for having the giveaway for us ❤
    Both prizes look great, I think the first one would be really cool for me because my stamping set is kinda meh.
