Manicure Monday: Purple Licious

Lately my nails have been breaking and splitting a ton.
This is actually helping strengthen them.
Apply as your base coat polish.

I love metallic polish!  This is now a favorite of mine!
Apply in 2 coats.
I love glitter polish, but Milani is the best and fastest drying glitter polish.
Apply as much glitter as you want!  Let dry for a full 3 minutes.

Manicure Monday: Sugar Crush Chevron

Here is a simple, fast, cute and bright Spring nail art design.  Once again, we want to thank Nails with Zing for giving us this Manicure Monday!

I've used this Sally Hansen Sugar Coat brand before and followed the directions of 2 thin layers of polish.  But I didn't like the results, it looked awful.  But with this I did one thin layer of polish and it actually turned out great!



See my pretty sugar "dipped" nails?


I added hand painted chevron stripes to make these fun and cute for Spring

Nail Ritz Kit Review

 
Details: Professional Nail Art Nailritz is great for nail art enthusiasts.  About Nailritz: 2 in 1 double sided polish pens.  Directions: twist off cap to paint.  Pull cap off to draw.  Squeeze to design with the pen.  Twist and join rings to easily combine your favorite colors.  Convenient to take on the go, anywhere.  Patented designs for brush applicators and micro-pen nail art tips.

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary nail kit in exchange for an honest review, and to help with a company sponsored giveaway.

My Review: I was introduced to this nail company 3 years ago, but when I was introduced the nail logo was already washed off, the pens so the owners couldn't tell me who or where they got their nail art pen set.  So when I got this company's invitation, this was Christmas to me!  I am so stoked to give you my testimony about this company.  As someone who has been working with nails, nail polish, nail art designs for over 17 years, finding great products is key.  I love these pens!  They are amazing; because of their micro-tip and its accuracy it gives for very detailed nail art.  I love that each pen is double sided, and that it comes in themed kits like: Neon, Shimmer, Princess etc.  This way you can get a whole set of 5 pens, 10 colors and have them all be amazing.  The mirco-tips are super easy to keep clean, but can bend if not treated with care.  The brushes are a really fun way to enhance the pen's versatility, and usability so you don't have to have on hand multiple bottles of polish, instead of just 1 or 2 pens.

On top of those really great features, Nailritz is a Vendor so you can order with two different retailer options: Drop Ship Dealer Program, or the Wholesale Stocking Dealer Program.  And to one-up that option, you can become a Nailritz Consultant, and or become a Hostess and host your own in home Nailritz party.  I am totally signing up for a home party, I have a Bridal shower I'm in charge of coming up, I think this would be a way to celebrate the Bride and her friends.

Pros: amazing! love this product

Cons: nothing

My Rating: THUMBS UP
