I have some exciting news!  Over the past couple years my nails have gone from an accessory to an obsession.  I have hundreds of nail plates and about 300 nail polish colors.  And for the past few months I just couldn't get the idea of creating an indie polish brand out of my head.  So about a month ago I ordered some supplies and went to work.  I found that I really do love creating polish.

I decided I would name my line "Nail Hoot" and I would launch when I had five colors for the first collection.  The first collection is called "The Beginning".  This gorgeous liquid sunset polish is named Leviticus, and it is the third polish in my new line.  So far I have created four polishes, so I only have one more to go until launch!  Oh, and in case you're wondering, all of my polishes are 5-free.

And just today my bottle labels finally arrived:

  

Here's a sneak peak at the first four colors:

I don't have a definite launch date for Nail Hoot yet, but I expect to launch in less than a month.  The polish will be sold on Etsy.  The store is still being set up as of now, so to keep up with the line you should like and follow our Facebook page:

I am excited!  What type of color do you want to see from an indie manufacturer?

Mani Monday: MoYou Kaleidoscope 04 and Color Club Holo

What better way is there to start out the week then with a beautiful manicure that makes you spend the whole day staring at your nails?  This is especially true if you type all day at work like I do.  Here is what I'm sporting on my nails today:

I absolutely love this manicure, it is really stunning in person and I have gotten a lot of complements on it.  It's a skittle manicure composed of five different Color Club Holos from my collection.  Let me pause here and add that I own all 12 of the Color Club Holo line and they are absolutely gorgeous, stunning, and worth every penny!  I regret not buying them sooner.  Here is a picture of the polishes and plate I used for this mani:

Here is a closeup of the lovely MoYou Kaleidoscope 04 plate:

This manicure was a really fast one.  It only took about an hour and ten minutes for me to complete.  I started out with a coat of Gelshine Base Coat (Sephora by OPI) and cured it under the UV light.  I then painted each nail a two coats of a different color.  I then stamped a different design on each nail using my Konad Black Special Polish for stamping (the only black stamping polish I trust!).  Finally, after all that had ample time to dry, I applied a coat of Gelish Top Coat.  I carefully placed my nail gems where I wanted them, cured the polish, then added a second layer of gel top coat and cured again.  Viola!  Easy, fast, beautiful nails that have the staying power to last a couple weeks!

St. Merry by Gogo Only Stamping Plate Review

A brand new plate manufacturer showed up on Amazon a couple weeks ago.  The manufacturer name is Gogo Only and they have a released a single plate called "St. Merry". This is an extra large plate that comes in a pretty sleeve, priced at $12.99.  It has 50 full sized images and 10 single images:

 Naturally I had to buy the plate right away!  Look at all those cute designs. For only $13, this plate was calling to me.  I ordered it with my prime shipping and it arrived two days later.  At the request of many ladies, I then proceeded to make a You Tube video review.  The synopsis is that it is a GREAT plate that I highly recommend!  To see my complete review of the plate including image sizes and swatches, check out the video below:
