Press Sample
Welcome to 2019! New Year's Eve is not a holiday I obsess over but today is a new year with whatever goals you may want. I totally rocked my 2018 resolution! I flossed every day of 2018. Yay to dental health! I keep it low key with my resolutions. But let's talk about blog resolutions...

| Welcome to 2019 Nail Art |
First, let's talk about blog goals. I've sort of given up on "growing" and trying to focus on just sharing my love of nail polish and nail art. It's tough to see hard work go into my posts and get like 20 likes on Instagram. What gives? There's no growth. I have way less followers on my personal instagram (which is only for people I know), but get triple the amount of likes on my posts. So again, trying to focus on sharing the love of products and not focusing on numbers.
Secondly, I'm really going to commit to some blogging breaks. I did 20+ posts a month in 2018 which is nice, but I do need to settle on a week off here or there for my sanity.
Lastly, I really want to do more nail art. I got really bogged down with swatching and doing individual polish posts. You'll see I've combined Polish Pickup into one post instead of 6+ posts. It allows me time to get back into art.

On to the polish and details of the art! I started with a base of two coats of Stella Chroma Rose Til Champagne. This was part of the Limited Edition Winter 2018 Duo which is no longer available.
On my inner nails, I outlined 2019 in Stella Chroma Axe Fight and used sequins from Beauty Big Bang in silver and gold inside the numbers.
On the outer nails, I used Beauty Big Bang XL 033, which I reviewed HERE. I originally planned on doing this as a separate mani and then decided to combine it! I stamped the upper left image in black and then colored in the stars in Stella Chroma May the Schwarz Be With You and Snowy Evening. I top coated everything and well, I love it!

Metallics are stunning in the shade. Just look at how the colors pop in the shade. Perfect way to wear my nails to start the new year.
