Margarita on the Rocks Here!

Hi ALL!

I am very excited to be here with my very first blog post! A Year ago when I started collecting nail polish, I never thought I would be here. I signed up for a nail polish sub box in December of 2012 and it was all downhill from there. I joined Instagram later on in March and posted my first water marble on St. Patrick’s day. The past year I have met several fabulous ladies on IG who have encouraged and supported my nail polish addiction! I am really into nail art and love trying new interesting techniques. I love stamping, glitter gradients and different polish combinations. Here are several pics of mine from Instagram so you can get to know a little bit of what I will be posting.

I think Winter may be my favorite season for nail art. I did these last month.

Enchanted Polish A Little Fishy Told Me

I normally try not to share photos of polishes that are hard to obtain (without spending a fortune), but since this polish was for a good cause and was available as a pre-order for an extended period of time, I don't mind sharing it here. This is Enchanted Polish A Little Fishy Told Me. This polish was made in honor of Talia Joy and part of the proceeds went to support BASE Camp.

Although I don't normally wear light or pastel colors on my nails, I got a lot of compliments when I wore A Little Fishy Told Me. It's a pale mint blue (it's not really a mint green) with subtle shimmer and linear holographic. It's a very gorgeous color, and I actually enjoyed wearing it a lot.

The formula for A Little Fishy was similar to other Enchanted Polishes, not fantastic but not terrible (hopefully no one kills me for saying that). It was thick and reasonably opaque and I used three coats. I hate to admit that I'm not a massive Enchanted Polish fan like so many other nail polish addicts. They are beautiful polishes (and adorable bottles) but there are so many fantastic indie brands that I'm not sure why Enchanted Polish gets so much hype!

This was a different color for me but I loved it. Did you purchase Enchanted Polish A Little Fishy Told Me? Do you love Enchanted Polish or are you indifferent like me?
