Rica - Squishy Plum Tonal Roses

Press Sample: Squishy Plum

     I feel like I haven't done nail art in ages! With the passing of yet another birthday, I've been mourning the loss of my mid twenties. I'm getting old. So, so old. I shouldn't be worried about me age, but I can't help it. It's left me uninspired and just feeling blah. 

    Don't mind me being melodramatic. Keep on reading for how to recreate this rose nail art that's perfect for autumn!

The Beauty Buffs - Black and White

      Hey, babes! The Beauty Buffs are back again and this week is something I'm all about. Black and white. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I love me some black clothes. I'd say 80% of my wardrobe is black. I'll never get tired of it. For this look, I drew inspiration from one of my favorite tops I picked up at Asos this summer. Check out all the details and a link up to other great black and white posts after the jump!

       Today's post a is blast from the past! Grab your acid wash jeans and hold on to your scrunchies because this collection is going to knock your socks off! (Was that too much? Oh, well!) As much as I hate to admit my age and my fleeting youth, I'm an 80s baby. Late 80s, but 80s nonetheless. 

  

        80s to the Max is a super fun collection of a glitter topper, a thermal, a glittery creme, and three glitter crellies. Rica has outdone herself again! Don't miss this one...

Rica Polish - Enchanted Minnie

Press Sample

     Whew. What a week it's been! Working all day pretty much every day has been exhausting. By the time I get home every night, it's hard to muster the will to do anything. I can't lie. My poor nails have been neglected. Thankfully, I had a bit of time last week to take this new baby for a spin! 

       Rica has a new edition to her line. Enchanted Minnie is lovely pastel mix with mouse ears. Check out lots of pictures after the jump!

Red Coat Tuesday - Layered Stripes

Press Sample - Rica Oh, Crab!

     It's Red Coat Tuesday! I don't know about you, but last week's episode had me wanting to punch Allison in the face. As always, I won't post any spoilers. This season is going to be a bumpy ride. I knew it wouldn't come to an easy resolve. 

      Anyway...I did a simple layered stripe look. For the red, I used a new polish from Rica. Oh, Crab! is part of a collection that I'll have a full post on later. For now, check out all the details under the cut.

Valentine's Day Mixed Manicure

     Happy Valentine's Day! I debated for over an hour about this manicure. I'm so happy I decided to use this set of polishes. They work really well together! 

     I don't have plans for the day because I'll be at work. Dude and I have been together for 7 years so this is our 8th Valentine's Day. We're not fans of huge crowds and never go out on holidays. Instead, I'll be making dinner on Saturday or Sunday. I'm thinking veal or lamb with a cauliflower mash and some fresh veggies. Eh, enough with the boring stuff! 

Check out all the details under the cut!

Rica - Nirvana

Press Sample

      Let's get back to our regularly scheduled program, shall we? I have a great holographic polish to share with you! I've worn this twice since a I received about two weeks ago. I would have shared pictures the first time around, but the weather and work is doing a number on my hands. I had a nasty little cut on my middle finger; it's good as new now.

     If you're a fan of purples, holographics, and blue flashes, you need to see this Rica polish. I shared a video of this polish on my Instagram last week, and today I have lots of pictures. Don't miss out on the full review after the jump!
