Lace & Lacquers' Manicure Favorites

I thought I was the queen of planning blog posts after successfully planning posts for 2 trips! But stupid me ran out of posts and swatches for this week. WOMP WOMP WOMP! Good thing I have a back up. So without further adieu...

I've received a few messages, comments, posts asking what my favorite products are. You might have the same question, but you might not of seen the posts! So, I decided to do a quick lil' write up.

Favorite Top Coat: Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat by Seche (No I don't experience shrinkage. I keep my bottle full with Seche, add thinner to it frequently and seal my tips. Voilà! No shrinkage.)
(Runner Up: Out The Door Fast Drying Top Coat By INM)

Favorite Base Coat: Stuck Up Base Coat by You Polish (I have a review, here!)

Favorite Nail File: Purifiles Disinfectable Files #2109 Green Core 100/180 grit by Flowery (I buy mine at Sally's Beauty Supply - they don't have them on their website :( I probably own like 15 LOL)

Favorite Nail Strengthener: Rejuvacote by Duri Cosmetics

Favorite Cuticle Balm  Cuticle Butter (any scent) by Fortune Cookie Soap Company
(Runner Up: Sunny's Miracle Balm (any scent) by 365 Days of Color)

Favorite Hand Lotion: Skin So Soft Firm & Restore Age-Defying Corrective Hand Treatment by Avon (When I need something thicker: Stassels' Moisturizing Beeswax Salve by Julie Siemek - I've been using this forever!!)

Favorite Polish Remover: Remove Plus Nail Polish Remover by Zoya (I use pure acetone for clean up.)

Favorite Clean Up Brush: Concealer Brush by E.L.F.

Favorite Nail Stamper: Squishy Double Ended Stamper - I got mine off eBay for less than $3 from overseas. Any of the stampers that look similar to Winstonia's version is the same! (I use an old credit/gift card as a scraper).

Favorite Nail Stamping Plates: Cheeky and Bundle Monster branded plates. (I prefer them over the original Konad plates.)

Hope this helps some of you find new products! :] Did I miss anything? Just ask/let me know and I'll add it to the list.

SINFUL COLORS Anemone & BORN PRETTY STORE Bow Water Decals

Sinful Colors Anemone and Born Pretty Store water slide decals

Hey there, stranger! Today I have two product reviews in one post, reviewception? I recieved Sinful Colors Anemone from PINCHme and some cute bow water slide decals from Born Pretty Store to review for ya'll. Check out what I think below :]

Sinful Colors Anemone

Sinful Colors Anemone

Sinful Colors Anemone

Sinful Colors Anemone is an orange coral creme polish. Funny thing is, I wanted this polish and I probably put it down 2-3 times at Walgreens! Soooo I'm happy I received it to review. This color is awesome, fun, bright and perfect for summer.

I know not everyone is a fan of Sinful Colors but I love to work with these polishes. Their formulas are usually pretty great and I love using them for undies and in nail art :] For $2, these polishes always exceed my expectations. I did 2 coats of Anemone. I had no issues with application or dry time. I wore it for 3 days (with Seche Vite) and I had 0 tip wear.

Sinful Colors Anemone and Born Pretty Store water slide decals

Sinful Colors Anemone and Born Pretty Store water slide decals

I decided to add one of the bow water slide decals from Born Pretty Store. The blue bow looked great against the bright polish. I added some yellow and blue polka dots to compliment the bow on my accent nail. I think it came out pretty freakin' cute! :] What do you think?

Like the bows? You can find them here! They're usually $2.86 but they're currently on sale for 25% off at $2.15 a sheet. If you're interested in how to apply water slide decals from Born Pretty Store check out my previous post - here.

You can also get a 10% discount using my discount code, LACJ61, and Born Pretty Store always offers FREE shipping!

If you're interested in PINCHme, the program I got the Sinful Colors polish through, you can sign up here! They have a lot of different samples to try, and they go fast... so you gotta act quick! This program is not for bloggers only, btw :]

Have an awesome weekend!
