Nailed It and Cult Cosmetics

I've been absent from the blog for much longer than I had anticipated post-move. I'm pretty settled in now though, and though I haven't been posting, I've been busy!

I've started a new partnership with a company you may not have heard of, but certainly need to know. Cult Cosmetics and I have partnered together to begin bringing you custom designed nail art kits based on looks I've created, and available through the Cult Cosmetics store.

Each kit is designed with all the tools you'll need to recreate the look they're based on. Currently, there are three kits in the works, one of which is available now! It's based on the following look:

The kit is $14.99, and if you use NAILEDIT during checkout, you'll get 10% off!

It is also accompanied by a video tutorial, produced, directed, and narrated by yours truly. ;) You can see the video at the product page, or on my YouTube channel. Subscribe to be sure you get all the latest video updates too!

It's a novel concept. No need to sign up, and you get a look, a kit, and a tutorial video showing you how to make it for only $15. You get a lot of stuff too, including:

• essie's Knockout Pout
• Color Club's Where's the Soiree? (black)
• Color Club's French Tip (white)
• Black striping tape
• White striping tape
• A two-way dotting tool

And though you can duplicate the look exactly, you can also go nuts with your new supplies and create something else you like!

So pop over to CultCosmetics.com, and take a look at all the kits available, and be sure to use NAILEDIT for 10% off your order.

Winstonia Subscription-Free June Grab Bag

Winstonia is a great online resource to purchase high-quality and inexpensive nail art items. I reviewed their awesome brushes and stamping plates previously.

Starting today, June 10 and available through June 30, Winstonia, is now offering what they're calling their June Grab Bag.

For $10 (and free shipping for U.S. orders), you can pick up the June Grab Bag, which includes the following items:

• 2 pots of glitter powder 
• 3 rolls of striping tape 
• 10 pieces of alloy decoration (either bows or crosses)
• 1 roll of metallic transfer foil 
• 1 pack of feathers (5 feathers/pack)
• 1 blender makeup sponge

The colors and options for each item varies. In the promotional pack I was sent for review (which will be coming to Nailed It soon), I got:

• Blue and red glitter powder
• White, gold, and purple striping tape
• Bow decorations
• Silver holographic foil
• Baby pink feathers
• A blue blender sponge

Unlike most other packs like this out there right now, the Grab Bag is not subscription-based. You can check out each month's bag, and decide if you're interested or not. No contract to sign and commit to, just one-time purchases you make yourself.

Winstonia will ship the orders within 24 to 48 hours and most orders arrive within 3 to 7 business days. Also note that coupon codes do not apply to the Grab Bags.

Pick one up for yourself (or a friend), or pass the info along to your loved ones as an easy, affordable, and exciting gift to give to you and your nail art needs. I don't know about you, but my honey is rightfully clueless about most things nail-related, so just pointing him to this site would be a perfect and easy gift for both of us!

If you're not interested in this month's items, be sure to check back in July for a completely new bag of nail art tools!

These products were sent to me at no cost by Winstonia.

Short moving hiatus

This is the state of our apartment right now.

On Saturday, I'm moving to a new place here in Boulder, so this week is annoyingly about packing and not nails. 

I will return next week though. Have a lovely weekend!

FAQs now available!

Have you had a burning question about me or my blog?

I've compiled a list of FAQs for you to puruse at your leisure. Access it here, or just click the link to the page at the top of my blog (shown above).
