Polish 'M- 'Spring Style'

Happy Sunday Sunday!

I have a great Spring polish for you today.

I'm sure all of you have heard of Polish'M.

Today's post is my first ever polish from them,

and I was very impressed.

Here's 2 coats of 'Spring Style'.

'Spring Style' is a pastel pink base with a slight, iridescent/pastel purple shimmer to it.

Alos, you can see that it has almost every color of glitter imaginable.

These glitters come in little, medium, and large hexes, circles, and squares.

It's just perfect.

From the Vault- 'Pelican Grey' & 'Snowglobe'

Well even though it's in the freaking 60's in January here in TN,

I'm going to at least have some snow of my nails!

Today's post are definitely form the vault.

They're two polishes from at least a couple years ago:

one from China Glaze & one from Kawaii Nail Lacquer :)

Here's the combo:

This is 2 coats of 'Pelican Grey' and 2 coats of 'Snowglobe' :)

Festive and sparkly!

FrOzEn !!

So my daughter, like every other person in the entire world,

is obsessed with Frozen.

When I saw a nail polish bearing the same name-

I knew I had to get it.

Here's 2 coats of Candy Lacquer's 'Frozen' over 1 coat of Zoya's 'Robyn' :)

'Frozen' is a clear base that's jam packed with silver and light blue glitter & holo glitter.

It's GORG. Just look how it sparkles in the sunlight!

It's best over a base coat of some solid color, so the glitter can really look dense.

My daughter is in love with this polish now,

and I am, too!

I've used several Candy Lacquer polishes,

and they've been nothing but great.

What do you guys think?

Favorite makeup & nail looks of 2014

Happy New Year!

I wanted to do a quick recap of my favorite makeup and nail looks of 2014.
And by quick, i mean QUICK.

Thus, these picture collages of my favorite makeup looks & manis :)

Christmas Classics series- 'Peppermint Kisses'

I've got another post in my yearly Christmas Classics series today.

This is another one is from the previously known Lush Lacquer (now Polish Me Silly)

from about 2 or 3 years ago :)

'Peppermint Kisses' is a white base with red, pink, white, and green hex & square glitter.

It's a little thin, so at least a few coats are required to reach opacity.

This IS a polish that you have to dig into to get some of the glitters,

but it's nothing too time consuming.

I wish they still sold this;

it's a great one!

Candy Lacquer's 'Santa's Sweet Shoppe'

Happy two days 'til Christmas!

Now that winter break has started,

I have a plethora of Christmas posts to catch up on.

So... expect a ton of them in the next few days. 

For today,

here's 'Santa's Sweet Shop' by Candy Lacquer over OPI's 'Pink Friday'.

'Santa's Sweet Shop' is clear top coat with almost every kind and color of glitter.

Most prominent are pinks, reds, oranges, and some neon colors.

It definitely looks like to me what Santa's real candy shop would look like

:)

Christmas Classics series- 'Frosty'

Happy Monday!

This is my last full week of work before Christmas,

and I'm ready to power through it ;P

I have another Christmas classic for you today,

and it IS a classic- one of the oldest Christmas polishes I have!

Here's 'Frosty' from the (what used to be called) Lush Lacquer,

but now Polish Me Silly.

This is 2 coats :)

This lovely, white based polish with all kinds of green and red glitter has held up beautifully over the years :) It's not gloomy or thick,

and still goes on pretty well.

Too coats is really I needed to reach opacity.

Though they don't sell this anymore,

(boo)- it will always be one of my favorites! :)

Candy Lacquer 'Candy Cane Fiesta'

I posted the other day about my new christmas polishes from Candy Lacquer.

Here's the first of the two of them,

'Candy Cane Fiesta'!

*pictured here over 2 coats China Glaze's 'Merry Berry'*

This polish is adorable and packed with almost every kind of glitter there is.

Hexes (of all sizes and colors), circles, squares, rectangles, snowflakes, hearts, flowers... and yes, candy canes!

I almost wish this polish had a different name, even though it's cute.

Because of the name, I was expecting to find several little candy cane glitters.

Instead, I seriously found, maybe, 3.

I ended up having to go back to the little baggie of extra glitter that came with this polish to find a candy cane.

I'll add the bag to the bottle and have plenty for next time, though!

This polish had a great consistency and went on as a beautiful top coat over this CG.

Definitely one of my new, favorite Christmas manis!

:)

What do you guys think?

Christmas nail mail!

Nail mail days are always some of the best.

Today's post consist of two Christmas polishes from Candy Lacquer.

I haven't used Candy Lacquer in a half year or so,

but the last polish I got from there was great.

Can you guess which these are? ;)

Stay tuned for these babies to be swatched! :)

Easter polishes!

HAPPY EASTER!

Today is the day the Lord has made :)

I will rejoice and be glad in it!

Praise God for such a wonderful day today.

Also, I have some exciting and adorable Easter polishes for you!

Both from Pop Culture Cosmetics!

This is 'Bunny Trail' over Essie's 'To bUy or Not to Buy'

Secondly, 'Easter Dress' over Sinful Colors' !

Pop Culture Cosmetics- 'Happy Daisy'

My second PCC polish is this happy, festive top coat.

Here's 2 coats of 'Happy Daisy' over 

2 coats of Sinful Colors' 'Unicorn'.

'Happy Daisy' is a clear top coat filled with all sizes of yellow

and white hexes. There are a couple white daisy glitters in there,

but their super hard to get to, even with a toothpick :/

Despite that, this is such a happy, lighthearted mani that I don't even care

if the daisies come out or not-

the combo is still adorable!

What do you think?

Pop Culture Cosmetics 'Smart & Sassy'

I haven't had a Pop Culture Cosmetics polish in awhile,

but when I saw their new Spring/Easter polishes-

I had to have some.

Here's the first of several,

'Smart & Sassy' over Sinful Colors' 'Cotton Candy'

'Smart & Sassy' is a light pink jelly filled with large blue stars,

Large blue, neon yellow, and pink hexes, small & square iridescent glitter,

and yellow, blue, & pink micro-glitter.

I was quite pleased with this polish?

It's super adorable and great for Spring :)

Indie Polish.

:)

Here's 'Everything But the Kitchen Sink' :)

'Everything But the Kitchen Sink' is a clear topcoat filled with various sizes

and shapes of glitter: hexes, shreds, micro glitter- everything :)

If not black, the colors of the glitter were all Spring-like,

which is what prompted be to buy the polish now.

It's a super cute top coat :)

'On a Clear Day'

OH HAI.

Did you think I'd forgotten about you?

I haven't! I've just been SUPER freaking swamped.

I've been going to bed as soon as all my stuff is done and daughter is put to bed,

and the time that's usually able to be spent on myself (i.e. blogging)-

I've spent going to bed early instead :x

Anyway, I have a polish from a completely NEW indie maker!

Well, new to me anyway.
