Conjured By Amanda Wampler: Swatches and Review

Hi Everyone!

It feels so good to be blogging again!  I'm so sorry for the lack of posts recently, I just haven't had any time to write up anything.  Hopefully soon I'll be able to have a good blogging schedule.

Today I'm sharing with you some swatches of a new indie brand called Conjured By Amanda Wampler.  I've got three polishes from the Drums of War collection to review; I think you'll love them!
First up is For The Alliance!, a gorgeous blue and gold glitter.  This can be worn over another color as a topper, or by itself.  I chose to use three thin coats on their own for full coverage.


Hero-Lust is a beautiful blue polish with a holographic shimmer.  I just love this one, it's so bright happy!  I used two perfect coats for the picture below.



Swipe is a bright pumpin-y orange with a holographic shimmer.  I used just ONE coat for this one!  Perfection!


Formula:  The formula on all three polishes was amazing.  I had no issues whatsoever. 

Overall:  I had a fantastic first impression with these polishes, I love them!  

Be sure to check out Amanda's Etsy shop to pick up a couple of polishes if you like the look of these!  You can also follow her on Instagram.
Have a wonderful week!

Umbrella Nail Art

Hey Everyone!
Today's post is umbrella nail art!  I posted this on my Instagram a while ago, but didn't get around to blogging about it until now. 

I really love these, they're just so cute and happy!  I started with a base of Barielle Enduring on all my nails, and then painted the umbrella on my accent nail. 

To do the umbrella, I started with the outline and then filled in the spaces with different colors.  I used Jenna Hipp colors for all of the umbrella.  To finish off I put Northern Lights top coat on all of my nails.

Ok, that's all for today, let me know how you liked these!  
Have a wonderful weekend!
