Are you dizzy with excitement about nail polish?

 This is three coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Perfect Pear-ing.  I got it on sale at Target a few weeks ago along with a few others.
 Dare I say that this is a crelly!?  I don't think I've ever used that term before, but it totally came to mind as I was applying this polish.  It's not as opaque as most cremes and definitely has a slight squishiness to it!  What say you?  Crelly or no?
 I love this color.  I find it to be rather unique to my large collection of minty colors.  It's more spring green and lime green than most mints but still has a distinctly mint feel to it.
 The application was easy, though I was kind of annoyed to need three coats.
My wear time sucked with this one, but to be fair I have been playing with my base and top coat combos lately, so more than likely that is to blame versus the actual polish!  I believe I was wearing the Dior Gel top coat here, which absolutely did not dry quick enough.  I'm still testing it out in various ways, though, so I haven't made up my mind completely on it.

 I recently purchased my first YSL nail polish.  This is 34 Jade Impérial.
 It is arguably not the sexiest color ever, against my skintone.  However, the formula is absolute perfection!!
 What's more?  I'm obsessed and in love with the brush!!  It practically did my manicure for me.
 I love this so much and definitely need more YSL polishes in my life.
Do you have YSL polishes?  What's your feeling on them?

 For this mani I used Orly Lucky Duck and Illamasqua Mottle.
 I used two coats of each and both had very good applications.  For the Mottle fingers (index on my right hand) I am pretty sure I used a coat of Gelous under my regular top coat.
It's sad that I'm that far behind on my posts that I can't remember for sure!  :(  All the more reason to post more frequently and catch right up!  :)

 This is two coats of Dior Waterlily.  It's a creamy, springy mint green with subtle shimmer.
 Waterlily is scented!  It's a pretty light scent, and within about 12 hours of having this on, I could barely detect the fragrance any longer.  I would say it's a light, kind of rosy floral scent.
 I had fully intended to leave Waterlily alone and wear it by itself.  However, I couldn't handle it.  It was just too plain on its own!  Call me a hopeless glitter lover.
 I added a coat of Lynnderella's Attitude Adjust-Mint, which is a most obvious and fitting pairing.
I love wearing mint greens.  Waterlily is particularly flattering and I was pleased to find that it applied very easily (despite the big mongo brush that I normally kind of hate).

This is three coats of Estessimo TiNS The Relax Mint.

The Relax Mint is a beautiful minty aqua golden shimmer loaded with holographic glitter.

Did you get all that? Minty aqua. Golden shimmer (tons!). Lots of holographic and silver glitter. It's crazy!!

I needed a little bit of extra magic the other day, so I felt it was only appropriate to bust out a TiNS polish. TiNS do not disappoint, my friend.

This last picture is one I took just after painting them. I was holding a bottle of OPI Suzi Takes the Wheel.

Right now I'm wearing Misa Fountain of Youth. It's likely coming off later today, but it's had a pretty good run!

You'll have to pardon my junky application. I had put this on really, really late at night and was super tired.

This is three coats. It's a shimmery soft, sheer mint green.

It reads a little frosty on the nail, but I still find it to be beautiful and not overly obnoxious.

Application and wear is great. You do need to be somewhat careful when applying, to avoid brushstrokes.

I really like having this in my collection. It's different from every other mint (mostly cremes) I have! It's an ethereal beauty and reminds me very much of an old and dearly beloved cream eyeshadow I used ages ago.

First, let me start by saying how super happy I am that I got Milani Dressmaker. I found the display at the only CVS in my area that seems to get new/limited Milani collections, only to see that the spots for Dressmaker were empty! Horror!


I decided to just order it off the Milani website and bite the bullet with shipping. Around eight bucks is still way better than around $30, right? Plus, I never did get Jade...and there is no way I'm going to get it for huge bucks on Ebay.


I used three coats here. The pictures don't do it much justice since it was a rainy, gloomy day. It has a lovely slight shimmer.



My skin just looks ridiculously pink in the picture above. Greens do that to me. I'll either look really yellow or really pink, but never normal. Still love them!!


This Is Me!

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.
