#PolishlandPresents | Whose Woods Are These? + Coupon Code

Happy Friday! Today I’m here with my first featured shop in my #PolishlandPresents series. This shop is near and dear to my heart because it’s run by a family I know and love. However, rest assured this Etsy shop is super awesome! Let me tell you about this unique brand.

ABOUT WHOSE WOODS ARE THESE?

Whose Woods Are These? shop owners Lauren & Michael

Whose Woods Are These? is run by husband and wife team Michael and Lauren. The couple discovered early in their relationship that they share a love for antiquing, and so they wanted to create a crafting business that allowed them to turn this hobby into a new passion. Whose Woods Are These? turns vintage glassware and tins into upcycled, handmade candles. Each candle is hand-poured, and truly on trend right now. In fact, shop owner Michael explains that Whose Woods Are These? is the real Anthropologie because all of the items in their shop are hand-picked from the antique stores the couple visits throughout the year. How cool is that?!

Fun Fact: The shop name Whose Woods Are These? is inspired from Robert Frost’s famous poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (read it HERE).

MY FAVORITE WHOSE WOODS ARE THESE? ITEMS

Each item in the Whose Woods Are These? shop is one-of-a-kind, so you’ll have to act fast if you see something you love! Never fear – the owners are constantly creating new relics of whimsy for you. These are my current favorites from their shop.

Pink Roses Tea Cup and Saucer Set

Whoose Woods Are These? offers many beautiful tea cups. I love the pink roses on this one. The scent is Royal Chrysanthemum, and this is a soy candle like all of the candles in the shop. It retails for $18 HERE.

Miss Piggy Jelly Jar Candle

How cute is this Miss Piggy candle?! It is made in a vintage Welch’s Jelly Jar and features her Muppets in Space outfit. At only $12, this Rain scented candle is an absolute steal. Make sure to grab it HERE before this unique item is gone!

Vintage Inspired Floral Nail Art featuring Water Decals from Born Pretty Store!

Happy Thursday! Today I have another review of some water decals from the online retailer Born Pretty Store. I’ve tried water decals a few times now (see my King of Pop Manicure HERE), but this time around I had more control over my nail art design and decided to take it in a vintage direction. Let me show you the water decals and the manicure I created!

Floral Water DecalsUnlike the other water decals I’ve tried in the past, this sheet does not have any pre-made shapes or designs. Instead, the design is separated into rectangular blocks that can be cut into any shape or size. I decided to cut the decals into a variety of shapes to keep my manicure interesting!

Vintage Inspired Floral Nails Vintage Inspired Floral NailsI began my manicure with SinfulColors Mint Apple, a beautiful dusty green with shimmer (full review HERE). Once my polish was completely dried, I cut the decals into the shapes I desired, removed the protective film, and dipped them into water for a few seconds. The water decals work just like temporary tattoos. The design slides right off the paper backing when wet, and you can easily position the decals onto your nails using your fingers. Once the decals are dry, finishing up with a top coat and you’re good to go!

Vintage Inspired Floral NailsAll in all, I’m really loving these water decals! I only used two of the rectangular blocks on the sheet to create this look, so I can be sure to get more use out of it in the future. You can purchase this sheet of decals on Born Pretty Store’s website HERE for just $2.98. I chose design number 10, but there are lots of others as well. As always, use code FZL91 to get an extra 10% off your purchase, and enjoy free international shipping. Let me know what you think of my nail art in the comments!
