Lauren B - Aire Of Bel-Air

***Press Sample***

Hello Lovely People!
Today I would like to show you a nail polish I received recently from  Lauren B Beauty. This is on the high end side brand and their polishes retails for $18.

These polishes have a special over-cap, so you can use a square or cylindrical handle for more control. Each formula is eco and vegan-friendly (with no formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, DBP, toluene or camphor), and proudly made in the USA. 

This is Aire Of Bel-Air, a bright sapphire blue creme. The formula on this was smooth and applied easily, it was completely opaque in two coats and I didn't experience any staining on my nails. 

For the design I stamped using the plate XL Designer 2 from DRK and Mundo de Uñas stamping polish in Fiji.

I enjoyed swatching this polish, the quality of the formula makes the application flawless. 
Lauren B nail lacquers are available at their website http://www.laurenbbeauty.com  and retail for $18 each.

Thank you very much for reading!

Movember Nails - Sephora X Kapow

Hello Beauties!
Today I wanted to share with you the  "Movember" Nails I did to support the boys.

Movember - a global movementSince its humble beginnings in Melbourne, Australia, Movember has grown to become a truly global movement inspiring more than 1.9 Million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to participate with formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Ireland, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and the Czech Republic. In addition, Movember is aware of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas supporting the campaign and men’s health cause across the globe, from Russia to Dubai, Hong Kong to Antarctica, Rio de Janeiro to Mumbai, and everywhere in between.
No matter the country or city, Movember will continue to work to change established habits and attitudes men have about their health, to educate men about the health risks they face, and to act on that knowledge, thereby increasing the chances of early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment.
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo's, these men raise vital awareness and funds for men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.

I used Kapow from Sephora X, this one is from the Electric's collection. Kapow is an electric neon blue with a very subtle pink shimmer and micro light blue flakes. This dries to a matte finish but I applied top coat. This is two coats.

I stamped using the plate DRK-B and light blue polish from Konad and the plate W109 from Winstonia and black Konad nail polish.

Have a great day everyone and thank you for stopping by!

About Harlow &Co

Harlow & Co. sprung from an obsession with beautiful nail colours - however, a lot of these nail colours and brands were not available to Canada! Something had to be done, so owner, Katie, went to work sourcing nail polishes that are currently not available in Canada or are hard to get in Canada with all those “icky” shipping costs and long waits. Harlow & Co. was born of this hard work and we take great pride in the products we’ve hand picked to sell to you!

All of the brands we stock are cruelty-free and most are Big 3 Free!

Brands such as Glitter Gal, piCture pOlish and Ozotic are all out of Australia and have been gaining more popularity in North America with their exposure on numerous “nail blogs”, so we just had to bring them to Canada! We are the only North American e-tailers to carry both Barry M and Models Own, which both originate from the UK. And we are home to Nerd Lacquer, an American based indie lacquer company that is both a little nerdy and a whole lot of pretty!

We strive to bring you the best in the nail polish kingdom and we hope that you’ll enjoy our obsession as much as we do!

Happy Independence Day Venezuela!

Hello everyone!
As you all know, I'm Latina.  I love the USA because it's a great country that has given me too many things, but I can't forget my roots.
Today my country, Venezuela is celebrating it Independence and I did a manicure inspired by our flag, I hope you like it.

I did a water marble except on my ring finger, I stamped using the image plate DRK-A and Nfu Oh 61
I used the same blue for marbling and on my ring finger, it looks different because I had a white base.
