i have some new favorite products

I feel like I’ve been using soo many good things recently that I might have mentioned here and there or haven’t even gotten around to it yet so I figured we were due for a new favorite things list! I am going to organize it by categories because there are kind of a lot 🤭 let’s get into it!

I’ve been working on it all summer so far and it’s truly my dream class that I wish I had been able to take myself years ago. It starts next week on 8/5 through 8/19, and there is still time to sign up! This is an online class with pre-recorded videos that you can watch and learn from on your own time.

I go over Russian Manicure prep (including the new way that I’ve been doing cuticle work that I LOVE), soft gel overlays, hard gel restorations and overlays, how to refine and shape nails (also with a new scheme that I love since it takes the guess work out of shaping), and so much more. I put all of the details here on my site.

(Also, if you want to take the class but the dates are tough for you, send me an email and we can find a solution! I most likely won’t be offering this class again soon and I really want you to be able to take it now if you want to.)

Erica’s Long Flame Diamond Bit - This is a little larger than their other flame bits and I just find it so much faster and easier to use!

Baby Powder + Powder Puffer - I like to puff a little powder on the nails right before using the diamond bit for cuticle work. It soaks up oil and helps keep the skin dry which makes prep easier!

Kinetics Cleanser - I didn’t think I would really needs this but I gotta tell you it’s sooo drying and gets rid of any trace of oil on the nails. I will definitely be buying more of this when I run out.

Kinetics Dehydrator - There’s just something I love about using a tiny brush to precisely make sure the nails are perfectly dehydrated. You can never be too sure ;)

Kinetics Bonder - If you have any gel lifting problems, you NEED this. It’s magic.

The Big Suck Dust Collector - I’ve had this for a few months now and it’s just AMAZING. It’s small and so powerful and such a good price for the quality.

Staleks Cuticle Nippers - I was looking for a really great pair of cuticle nippers that were a little easier to find than my other favorites and I am so happy to say I found some!! Staleks makes amazing tools and I’m really enjoying these nippers.

Kinetics Pink Spark - I finally got a chance to use the Kinetics Effects Hard Gels as a full manicure and I’m just obsessed. I used Pink Spark which is a milky light pink with gold and pink micro shimmer in it and then just a top coat and I feel so chic and cool whenever I look at my nails!!

Kinetics Jelly Gel In Milky Pink - I got the pink Jelly Gel for restorations because I use the pink hard gel so much. When you match them together the restorations are literally undetectable and it makes refining the nails so much easier. I’m all about meaningful short cuts recently if you can’t tell :)

My current nail obsessions that I have to do soon or have done recently are: bubble nails, aurora chrome nails and fruit gradient nails.

Yogurt Nail Bbogle Bbogle Nails - These are super sheer jelly polishes with different types of sequins inside that are PERFECT for the bubble nails trend. I especially love the aurora 3d bubble sequins! I think this new Eeeya collection is sooo cute too and it already has the mag gel in it which is lovely.

Yogurt Nail Fruits Magnet - I really love how bubble nails look with a super silky bright magnet gel underneath and I just used one of these with the Bbogle polish on top, it was a perfect combo! And this collection has so many cute juicy colors.

Yogurt Nail Chewing Gum - These are bright and sheer and jelly and they blend together so perfectly. I used them for a tomato gradient nail set on my friend and I think I need to come up with a new fruit to do on my own nails using these stat.

Micro Stars from Amazon - I found some in every color of the rainbow, prepare to be sick of seeing them!!! :)

Aurora Chrome Powder - I just got this new aurora chrome from Sweetie, it’s duo toned and soo pigmented!! I really want to do a french tip with them!

Kinetics Sun Care Cream - I have been using this all summer and I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about this but I just love it SO much. It’s not greasy like some sunscreens are, and it has a really nice light clean scent. I have been using this all over my hands and arms this summer. Also, Kinetics is having a buy 2, get 1 free sale on their hand creams that ends TODAY! In case you want to stock up. I also love their Rich Cream and Scented Cream!

Kinetics Dry Oil - My go to cuticle oil right now!

Merit Clean Volume Mascara - I got this recently and it’s my new favorite mascara EVER! It’s a tubing mascara that’s really lightweight and actually keeps my lashes curled and doesn’t flake off or smudge. It’s SO easy to remove too.

Quince Italian Leather Platform Flip Flops - These are the Y2K platform sandals of my dreams. They’re so comfy and I’ve been wearing them so much this summer!

Soloman XT-Whisper Sneaker - This is my second pair, I just love them sooo much, they’re so supportive for walking and I gotta say I do love not having to tie them every time :)

That’s all for now!! So many good favorites, look out for them in action on my socials and if you have any questions, let me know!

Also, be sure to sign up for my Kinetics Online Certification Class before 8/5 if you want to join this time!

BYE! 💋
