Are you dizzy with excitement about nail polish?

 This is the mani that never was.
 I started with two coats of Illamasqua Elope, which is a dreamy Crayola green jelly.
 You can see in these pictures how it dries shiny yet almost a little bit matte?  It's kind of strange.
 I love it.  It's just perfect.
 Elope was meant to be a base for the new Hare polish called Asteroid Turf, which you see below.
 You also see Pretty & Polished Old Skool, which comes into play in just a moment.
 I carefully layered a coat of Asteroid Turf over Elope, but was not satisfied with the results.  It was a little too streaky somehow, so I quickly slapped on Old Skool to try and lessen the yeeuugh.
 These pictures don't look too shabby, really, but in real life I just couldn't swing it.
 It freaked me out, plain and simple.
No top coat in any of these pictures.

 This is two coats of Sephora Torrid Shimmer (kind of a silly name) and then two coats of Pretty & Polished Inked over the ring fingernail.
 I did the same accent on my right index fingernail.
 I rushed the coats of Inked, so it could have been smoother had I been patient.  Also, an extra coat of top coat would not have hurt that nail, either!
 I think the purple and the orange make a lovely pair.
 I'm also glad I got a set of these cool chunky glitters from Pretty & Polished!  I'm sure to have lots of fun with them.
If you are getting tired of orange, take heart - the end is near.

 This is two coats of Pretty & Polished Party on my Yacht.  I ordered it from Chels' shop on Etsy.
 It applied very easily and wore super well on me!  I got three days out of this mani and loved wearing it.  I received many compliments, too.  It's so darn cute!
In these pictures I just had one coat of Out the Door over top.  On day two I added another coat of Out the Door and then two coats of Poshe.  I know - it sounds crazy and excessive, but I thought it looked better in the end.  I'm thinking if I had just done Gelous and then one coat of something else, it would have been fine.

I'm really looking forward to trying more polishes from Pretty & Polished!


This Is Me!

My photo
I love color, beauty, creativity, animals, and being care-free. I'm not care-free, in reality, but would like to think it's an attainable state of being! I do like to bend the rules when it serves a greater purpose and I'm all about being authentic. Here I am, take me or leave me! I suppose I'd call myself a sensitive soul. I think I feel things more deeply and ponder things more thoroughly than your average bear.
