Zoya Carter Pixie Dust Nails!

Just a quick post tonight of a Zoya Pixie Dust Swatch! I bought "Carter" recently and wanted to just wear it plain. Plus last time I tried a pixie dust gradient it came out kind of weird I thought.

This color is gorgeous though, I took these photos outdoors, which is unlike me usually. I was down the Cape at my Aunt's house when I wore these so I didn't have my light box. Plus it's better to see the sparkle outside. Do you guys like textured polish?

I used:

• Zoya: Carter

Born Pretty Stud Review

It's revieeewwww time guys!

I have some fun Born Pretty Store studs today! I did a pretty simple look with the round gold studs on top of a few polishes. These were pretty sparkly. I used my only OPI DS for the first time as the base color, then added a pink glitter gradient which you can barely see. It's there, I swear...haha. Then I added a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust to make it even more sparkly. Gold studs on top, top coat, done!

The studs came in a wheel full of different silver and gold studs. There are circles, squares, stars, hearts, triangles, diamonds and rectangles. So many options! I can't wait to use others! The whole wheel is only $3.99 and they have free shipping! Plus you get 10% OFF if you use my coupon code: XCL91

Do you think they're flashy enough? Haha.

In the sunlight!

I used:

• OPI: DS Extravagance
• Milani: Disco Lights
• China Glaze: Fairy Dust
• Born Pretty Store: Studs
• Rica's Glossy Glam Top Coat

I have some sports nails tonight. I'm not a big sports person at all, but I love going to games because they're way more fun than on tv. Me and 3 of my girlfriends try and go to at least one Red Sox game every year, so we went to the game this past Tuesday. Obviously I had to do some Sox nails...I did the Red Sox logo on my middle finger, a baseball nail, and some red & blue nails.

Oh and we won the game!!
