Are you dizzy with excitement about nail polish?

 Nation!!  I've missed you!!!  It hasn't been too, too long, but I've missed you much.
 I've just been busy and tired.  I wore this mani last weekend.  It's called Snake in the Grass and is custom created by Pahlish.
 It applied brilliantly in two smooth coats.  I used two coats of Poshe on top.
 I really love this polish.  And it has teeny, tiny bars!!
I ordered this polish and several other Pahlish polishes from Shannon's Etsy store here.

 See that sexy hot pink shimmah?!  It looked nearly RED at times...but I'm afraid I failed to capture that hawtness in these pictures.
 This is the ever flaming gorgeous Sephora + Pantone Tangerine Tango Shimmer at three coats.
 It's from the Sephora four piece Pantone nail polish set.
 It's so, so, so, so, so perfectly beautiful.
 It reminds me a more intense, vivid version of Zoya Sienna, which I recently posted on.
 Application was no problem at all and I got a really solid three days out this mani, which is always a pleasant surprise for me.
Snatch it up, Nation!  Don't wait!  :)

EDIT

I've added bottle comparisons with China Glaze Riveting.  They are quite similar!

 I don't know if you can tell here, but it was quite obvious to me as I looked at them both in my hand, but Riveting has a stronger gold shimmer and Tangerine Tango Shimmer has a stronger pink to gold shimmer.
Otherwise, they look to be nearly the same!  Riveting may be just a touch more saturated.  I hope this helps.

 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 three coats of Sephora + Pantone's Tangerine Tango Glitter.
 I was worried that I would need four coats for opacity, but it worked out fine with three.  Yay!
 This polish would be great for layering over other colors, and it's awesome on its own.
 Here it is shown with just a coat of Gelous over.
 It's so bright and fresh and fun!
 I love how the glitter looks so firey in these pictures.
 Weirdly enough, I decided from the beginning that I was going to wear this matte.  I pretty much never do that.  :)
 Here I've added two coats of Essie Matte About You.
 I really like it!
 I know most of you are probably thinking, "I LOVE MATTE GLITTER!!!"
 I do, too, it's just so hard for me to sacrifice the SHINY.
 Sometimes it's good to break out of the comfort zone, though, right?
 I can actually see myself wearing more matte glitters in the future.  Watch out!
I'm loving the Pantone polish set so far.  I recommend that you get one!  I'll be posting about the shimmer polish in a few days.  The creme one is the only one I haven't worn yet.

 Here is Pantone + Sephora's Tangerine Tango Matte polish, from the four piece polish set.
 I used two coats of polish here.
 I started with a coat of base coat.  Then I used a coat of polish.  Next I used a coat of top coat.  And finally I finished with another coat of polish.
 It was all very quick and easy and the application was great.  Everything dried very quickly, as well.
 This is a very vivid, deep orange that borders on neon - if that's possible.  It's not neon, but it's super intense.  It leans a little red, as well.
I don't often wear mattes, but I have to say it was fun to have matte nails for a change!  This color is really cheery and HOT.

 Check out Zoya Sienna!
 *wolf whistle*
 This is three delicious coats topped with two coats of Poshe.
 It doesn't need to be smoothed, if you are wondering - the only reason I used a second coat of top coat is because I was trying desperately to speed up the drying process before getting ready and going to work.
 Thank goodness these pictures turned out lovely!
 I did have some bubbling (boo) and it took somewhere around 8 hours for this to fully and 100% completely dry.  Bonkers.
 Also, after it had finally dried all the way, I noticed some shrink near a few of my cuticles (but it didn't seem to happen at the tips).  Ughs!  I took these pictures immediately after finishing the mani, which is why you don't see any sad, sad shrink.
All this to say that I absolutely loooove Sienna but must figure out a better way the next time around.  The plan is to let the coats dry a bit in between and to use a different top coat (or layer Seche Vite over Poshe or something).

 This is the lovely China Glaze Ray-Diant.
 I used three coats and then a coat of Gelous followed by two coats of Seche Vite.
 Above is a random indoor picture because I liked how the multi-colors popped.  It's like confetti!
 And now I'm going to spam you with many pictures because I think they all turned out nice and I can't bear to cut any of them.  :)
 Hopefully you can see and enjoy the green to gold shift.








Application was good, although I could have used some thinner by the third coat.  I wore this for three days and was quite fond of it.  I'm looking forward to using the rest of the Prismatic Chroma Glitters!


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.
