Are you dizzy with excitement about nail polish?

I have another StrangeBeautiful for you. It's a teal from volume 4. I only needed two coats.

It applied so perfectly. I can't say enough about how great the formula is on these!

I don't do a lot of cremes, you'll notice; at least, not by themselves. It's because I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it's so hard for me to get the surface to look smooth with the polish and the top coat! One tiny bubble infuriates me.

Also, I do love me some glittah, shimmah, and general blingtasticness. That being said, I did enjoy wearing this just as is. It's so smooth, pretty, and such a calming color.

This was truly glitter-ific! I used two coats of Nina Ultra Pro Purple Xing and then topped it with a coat of NYX Girls Dreamy Glitter.

I placed the stars with toothpicks, because I didn't think they'd go where I wanted them otherwise.

I had a little shrinkage on a couple tips, but nothing too bad, thankfully.

I like this mani - it was fun and really pretty.

I have some other Nina Ultra Pros that I picked up but haven't tried them yet. They look promising.

I'm still working my way through old manis that somehow got lost and forgotten! Here is Nubar's Knight's Armor.

I did two coats.

It's really fabulous and I love all the chunky glitter!

Yes, it was a pain to remove, but totally worth it for me.

Have I raved to you yet about the Acetone polish remover tub/pot that you can buy at Target stores? If so, forgive me for mentioning it. If not, listen close! Target sells a white plastic tub of pure acetone. It's their own brand, but says Studio Tools on it. If you love to wear glitter, like me, then you need to buy this A-SAP! Buy two, in fact. :) It has pink plastic spike scrubbers inside it and you stick your finger in then rub it against the spikes. Glitter and flakies are removed rather easily. Voila! The acetone is a bit drying, yes, but if you can moisturize your hands and cuticles after, you'll be okay.

What's this I see? A stunning purple holo?!

It's Etude House PP007. Just two coats.

It applied beautifully!

Cute little bottle.

It's more of a magenta purple or maybe like a light plum, but still very lovely.


I took a lot of pictures. It is just too pretty!


I ordered this and a few others off of their USA website, here.

Okay, okay, this is THE mani that popped into my head a little bit ago and prompted me to realize that I'd somehow neglected to post a handful of manis from months ago. Sheesh! I feel better now.

Three coats of pa A96.

This is a perfect green jelly. Perfect, I tell you!

I managed to have cuticle oil all over my finger tips and nails in these pictures, so don't mind the added oily texture on the nail surface! I was probably too excited about the awesomeness of the polish to even notice at the time.

Why doesn't this come in a jumbo sized bottle? Huh?

Then I added pa AA06 on top.

Sorry for the dry cuticles and lame indoor only pictures.

I shamelessly used a toothpick to fish out the larger glitter shapes and place them on my nails. I couldn't bear to just let luck take care of the dispersion. :) Someone told me these nails looked "Christmas-y," which caused my brow to furrow a bit. Someone else said they reminded them of game tables and poker, which I thought was pretty cool! Either way, I love it no matter.

Here is Sally Hansen HD in Hue. I did three coats.

This is a very frosty, bright, light yellow with shimmer. It's really glowy and attention-seeking!

I took several different pictures of this in various types of light and settings, but most are too awful for me to show you. These two are the only decent ones. Truthfully, I had a bit of trouble on the application. There were several bumps, lumps, and bubbles. Mostly bubbles, I fear. I cannot stand bubbles. I loathe bubbles.

I have only one picture of this, taken in my bathroom. I did two coats of Orly Viridian Vinyl, no top coat.

The picture doesn't look too terrible, but the application was rather dreadful for me. The polish was thick and goopy and I felt that it was hard to control and went on unevenly. I was so unhappy about the application and overall appearance that I took this straight off even before it dried. Maybe I'll give it another shot sometime...after thinning it?


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.
