Betty Cora Press on nails Review & Giveaway!

 

Sometimes I want my nails to look nice, but I don't always have the time or the funds to get them professionally done. My solution? Press on/Glue on nails. They look just as good at a fraction of the price, and if you are like me & hold onto them after they fall off you can use them more than once. I recently found a brand online called Betty Cora who offers a wide range of nails for both your fingers & your toes. One of my favorite features about their website is that you can sort your search by nail shape, color or season to help you find what you are looking for quicker. I was lucky enough to be sent a few sets to try out & review along with hosting a giveaway. 

They have a lot of fantastic designs, so it took me a while to decide which nail sets, I wanted to review. I tried to go with an assortment of shapes and lengths to try. The prices on the site are great the nails range in price from $7.99-$10.99 however if you look in the clearance section some go as low as $3.99 and they even have a mystery grab bag for $1 so there is something for every price range. 

One of the first things I noticed & love about the nails when I opened up the box to apply them is that it comes with both nail glue squares and regular liquid glue. I was in a rush when I put them on last week so I went with the glue square option, I had all of the nails applied & was ready to go in less than five minutes. The nails look great, they feel great and they are quite sturdy. They lasted for about five days before the first one popped off. It might not seem like the longest amount, but I think that is a pretty good time given how much I did with my hands during that time including being in the pool & a hot tub. If you've ever worn press on nails with the glue strips then you know that sometimes they won't even last a full five days before they start coming off. They were easy to keep clean & looked great the entire time I had them on. 

When I was ready to take them off, they were easy to remove & I love that they did not get misshaped when removing them. I've had fake nails in the past that get a little bend in them which then cannot be reused as it doesn't sit flat. The nails also come with a nail file, a manicure stick and a prep pad. The glue strips come in an assortment of sizes so you can determine which is best for your nail size. There are a ton of cute designs I would love to own so I can see myself placing an order in the future to get some of the other designs I like. They add more to their website through out the year so keep your eyes out for new designs.

Glossique Nail Wraps Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others. The products mentioned below have been provided by the Glossique for the review free of charge.****

 I enjoy having my nails look nice but I have to admit aside from painting a base and adding maybe a top layer and a few nail decals I am not good at nail art so when I want something extra cute or fancy I turn to nail wraps to rescue me. Some nail wraps are a huge pain in the butt because you have to heat them up, but that isn't the case with these nail wraps by Glossique. These nail wraps do not require heat in order to apply and there is an easy process to apply them. Each sheet comes with nineteen wraps, which is enough for applying two sets to your nails because when you cut them in half each side of the sheet is enough for one set. To apply themyou'll need to first push your cuticles back, I generally like to trim mine but you don't have to do that. Next you'll need to wipe them with acetone (nail polish remover pads will do) because less oil will help the wrap stick better, however if you are like me and don't like the smell of nail polish remover this step isn't 100% necessary, I skipped this step and mine stuck quite nicely.





After pushing your cuticle back and wiping your nails off you will need to select the size wrap you need for each finger, You may trim the sides to make it more narrow if needed (I found I didn't need to cut anything off aside from the tip due to the wrap being longer than my finger nails). It is better to have the nail deco narrow on your nail vs. being too wide. It is ok for your natural nail to slightly show on the sides. It says you shouldn't touch the underside of the wrap too much because you don't want the oils from your skin to get onto the wrap so gently removing the wrap and placing it onto your nail is the best, then simply smooth it out over your nail and cut off any extra sticking off your nail. I found these wraps easy to apply, and if you run into any issue with smoothly them out it is easy to do you will need to gently lift the wrap back up and re-smooth it back down to help smooth any ridges out. I received a set of candy cane wraps and a snowflake/snowstorm set and I love them both! The Candy cane set I used as an accent nail set during the holidays and I am currently using the snowstorm set, I think it looks like blue flames because of how bright and pretty the wraps are.  The sticky side looks like snake scales and is pretty sticky to help keep it on your nails and the wraps are pretty durable and water proof. To remove simply grab the wrap by the corner and peel it off then wipe your nails off with a nail polish remover pad to remove any extra stickiness left behind. Each set cost $14.95 and they sell a large assortment of designs, if you are looking for something specific they separate everything into different categories on their website to make it easier for you to find what you're looking for.

Paficica Beauty Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by
Pacifica Beauty for the review free of charge.****

Pacifica beauty is becoming my favorite beauty brand more and more every time I test out the products they send me because the products are high quality, have wonderful color pigmentation and the packaging is some of the best I've seen. I was recently sent a trio of their new polishes to test out, right from the moment I opened the package I knew these colors were going to look lovely when applied to my nails.



As you can see it originally arrived as a trio however tragedy struck and while I was taking photos of the bottles one of them fell and broke upon hitting the floor. I was so sad because it was one of the three bottles I was most looking forward to using but there is no use crying over spilled milk. The two remaining polishes were Wonderland and London Tomboy as seen above. Each of the polishes shown here are available on the Pacifica beauty website for $9 along with a number of other eye catching shades and high quality makeup. Pacifica Beauty is 100% Vegan and Cruelty free!

 

In the bottle London Tomboy looks like a deep green with hints of blue but when applied to the nails reminds me of a forest green, it is quite dark but reminds me of the holidays. The Winter wonderland looks like an off white but when you look at in on the brush seems to have glitter in it, when applied to my nails and looked at closely I did not notice any glitter. The Wonderland to me in person seemed to give off a light pink hue it wasn't quite white but also not quite beige. London Tomboy is a perfect match for a bold gold and it looks good with or without a clear top coat. In the photos of my nails shown above I have on a single layer of London Tomboy which spread on smoothly and evenly without any issue and two coats of the Wonderland because the first coat looked slightly sheer and I wanted it to be more solid. I've been wearing this polish for five days now and it actually hasn't chipped too much it has only chipped around the very tips of my nails which I personally think is pretty good.

Jamberry Nail Wrap Set #2 Giveaway!

I meant to get this giveaway up and posted yesterday but my day ended up being much busier than I anticipated, but a giveaway being posted a day late never hurt anyone so let's get to it.

I have a second set of Jamberry nail wraps to giveaway! This set includes a full sheet of Webs & Monsters ($15 value) the website says it is a juniors wrap but depending on the size of your nails you will still be able to use these without any issues. (There are wraps that would fit all my nails in this set so almost everyone should be fine). It also includes two sets of sample wraps which can be used for accent nails.

These monsters are cute enough to wear anytime, not just at Halloween. Look at how cute the little fuzzy yellow monster is.

Jamberry Nail Decal Set #1 Giveaway!

Every Holiday it is fun to do some themed nails to celebrate the occasion, Pintrest holds a few hundred fun options for nail designs for every holiday there is. My only problem is I am not talented what so ever when it comes to nail art so I rely on nail decals/wraps and stickers. Such as this great spider web design (not jamberry brand):

One company that sells a large assortment of nail wraps is Jamberry and I know there are nail decal lovers everywhere who go nuts over their products. So I figured why not giveaway a set of nail wraps?





One lucky winner is going to receive a full set of Dem Bones ($15) and two sets of sample wraps which you can use for accent nails. Time has slipped away from me a bit this month so I know you won't be able to use the bones set in time for this Halloween but you could always save them or say heck to it and have a spider web manicure anyways!

Win a Ulta bag packed with beauty samples!

Product samples can be a blessing is disguise, with food they can help you find delicious new things you want to pick up or they can save you from buying something that doesn't agree with your taste buds. Costco is one of my favorite places to pick up some of my groceries because they have sample days, I've found a few great things I ended up buying and I also received the chance to try one or two things I contemplated buying and decided against it once I tasted it. When it comes to makeup product samples can help you find new must have favorites for your makeup collection and they help weed out the duds that would have been money wasters.



I am a big fan of sample products and have grown quite the collection from visiting Bridal shows and local events that give out beauty samples, and I want to share some of these goodies with you. I've put together a grab bag of product samples with a few full sized products thrown in for one of my lucky readers and it comes in a cute pink Ulta makeup bag!



This grab bag includes a little bit of everything, there is shampoo & conditioner samples, makeup samples, perfume samples, nail product samples and even some clip in hair extensions. Everything is brand new and ranges from sample size to full size, there are too many items to list so it will be a surprise goodie bag aside from what you can see in the photos above. There are 14+ products in this goodie bag and you never know how many more could be added between now and the end date for this giveaway.

This giveaway is open world wide, don't forget to use the daily entries to raise your chances at winning this lovely sample packed bag. Want to know who won the Spa Finder gift card + goodie bag? Keep an eye on my facebook page the winner will be announced there within the next 24 hours.
