Hi there!

Press Sample

Have you been enjoying the weekly Road to Polish Con series?  I hope so.  For Week 5, we have three more delicious polishes from some Polish Con veterans.  Not only do Different Dimension, Cupcake Polish and Glisten & Glow make amazing holos but the three makers are such great friends in real life.  It is always great to see them hanging out together and having a good old time at The Polish Convention.  Week 5 exclusives will begin selling on Sunday, so let's go ahead and take a look at the rainbows!

Random Nails of the Day

Hi folks!

Press SamplePurchased by Me

With all of the reviews I do, I hardly have time to share the manicures I actual wear during the day.  I figured I could group them all together and share them here once and a while.  I got this idea from my friend Jen at AggiesDoItBetter.com.  This is collection of manicures that I actual wore for the day during the past month that haven't been posted on my blog or social media yet.  Usually, these photos get tossed into a folder on my phone for times when I don't have anything new to post.    But they want to be seen!  So let's give them their own time in the spotlight :)

Disclaimer...some of these polishes may be older, limited edition, discontinued or otherwise hard to find.  I apologize if you fall in love with something and have a hard time finding it.  But by checking out these makers, I am sure you will see something you will love even if you can't find one of these specific polishes.  Get ready for #notd spam!

Awesome Sauce Indie Box - Lisa Frank Box

Hi all!

Press Sample

I have another fun Awesome Sauce Indie Box to share with you today!  This new box is inspired by Lisa Frank.  Lisa Frank brings me back to grade school.  Her neon bright designs were the highlight of school supplies for me.  Unicorns and puppies and dolphins and fairies...so many fun things for young girls.  There are four indie polish makers contributing to this box as well as one indie nail decal maker.  Different Dimension is the guest maker for this box!  These polishes are bright and girly and sure to be a huge hit.  Let's take a look at the limited edition polishes offered in the Lisa Frank Box!

Pun with Pokemon - Exclusive Color4Nails Collection

Hey guys!

Press Sample

I have a fun little collection to share with you all today.  My favorite indie stockist, Color4Nails, has teamed up with six different indie polish makers to create a collection of polishes inspired but the resent Pokemon Go craze.  I will admit...I am one of the people that fell hard for this game.  I had never played Pokemon once in my life before but got hooked on this game as soon as it came out.  Hunting Pokemon in the real world?!?  Yes, please!  If you are a Pokemon fan as well, you will love the inspiration for these shades.  Each of the polishes in this collection are inspired by a favorite Pokemon.  They will only be available from the Color4Nails online store.  And the names are super punny which is a bonus.  You are going to want to catch them all!

Inspired by the Supernatural for the #31DC2016Weekly

Hi!

Purchased by Me

I know I am a little late on this week's prompt, but at least I have it for you now!  Being out of town on the weekends really messes with my blogging schedule.  For this prompt, I went with a classic supernatural being, the mermaid.  Everyone loves mermaids.  Mermaid nails, mermaid hair, mermaid fin blankets and pool gear...we see them all.  Who doesn't love The Little Mermaid?  Nobody because it's an awesome Disney classic.  For my mermaid inspired nails, I decided to go with a teal mermaid tail design.

Different Dimension - Cosmologically Speaking part 3

Hello lovelies!

Press Sample

I have some shifty shimmers to share with you today.  Different Dimensions has just released a little collection of 5 polishes with tons of shimmer and bright saturated colors.  I took a ton of photos of these polishes to try and get all the angles.    They all have a little bit of a duochrome effect and are filled with holographic sparks.  The sparks make these quite gritty in texture so a thick glossy top coat is definitely needed.  For all of these swatches, I did a final macro using two light sources to try and show off the shiftiness.  This collection released last week, so they are all available now.  Let's take a look!

The Holo Hookup - Elements

Hi folks!

Press Sample

This week has been a little bananas for me.  Things are always hectic when we are down a person (or 3) at work.  So even though I am pooped, I can still share some rainbow holo awesomeness with you!  The Holo Hookup with a monthly box of limited edition holographic polishes.  There are three regular contributors and one special guest contributor for each box.  The Holo Hookup mainstay indie brands are Glisten & Glow, Different Dimensions and Cupcake Polish, all of which are known in the community for their amazing holographic polishes.  For the month of February, the special guest contributor is Takko Lacquer, which is not a stranger to this blog.  The theme of February's box is 'Elements' and each of the four contributors was given one of the four classic elements to be inspired by: Earth, Air, Fire and Water.  Such a cool idea and such cool polishes in this box.  Let's take a look!
