Lucky 13 Lacquer Mist and Shadow, Cloud and Shade Review

Indie Polish Wednesday, April 30, 2014
Hey guys. Today I have Mist and Shadow, Cloud and Shade from Lucky 13 Lacquer. After seeing all the lovely swatches out there I knew I finally needed to wear this beauty. Mist and Shadow, Cloud and Shade is a periwinkle crelly with two sizes of square holographic glitter, blue holographic hexes and tiny blue dots. The formula was a nice consistency, and...

He Picked My Polish Again!

Mainstream Polish Monday, April 28, 2014
I had so much fun with last month's He Picks My Polish challenge, that I asked Brian to pick for me again. I'm not going to lie, his ego was pretty inflated last month with all of your compliments. When I showed him what you all said he replied back with "you're welcome" in a kind of cocky tone. I'm pretty sure he...

KBShimmer Rollin' With The Chromies Review

Indie Polish Friday, April 25, 2014
By now I'm sure you have heard of the super amazing multichromes KBShimmer released a while back. I finally got my hands on one and they hype doesn't even begin to describe how much I love this color. Rollin' With The Chromies is a holographic multichrome that shifts between purple, blue, and green. The formula on this was perfect. It was neither too...

A Beautiful Day for a Hike

Lifestyle Wednesday, April 23, 2014
It's a rare treat when we have a weeks worth of sunny weather this time of year. After spending most of the week working in the yard, Brian and I decided to get out of town to enjoy a new hike a few Saturdays ago. We recently got into hiking, so we try to take advantage of every sunny day that comes along....

Different Dimension- Light It Up Blue

Indie Polish Monday, April 21, 2014
I first saw this color on Chalkboard Nails last Spring and knew I had to have it. I tend to waffle on polish purchases and ended up waiting too long to snag this beauty. When it was finally back in stock, I didn't hesitate to grab a bottle. Light it Up Blue was inspired by Autism Speaks and World Autism Day. For every...

Black Heart Beauty- Sweet Dreams

Mainstream Polish Friday, April 18, 2014
I have to start off by saying that I am a HUGE fan of quirky nail polish. If it glows in the dark or changes color I need it. When I got this awesome skull I had to know if it lived up to it's glow in the dark claims. Sweet Dreams is a glow in the dark, neon pink creme with small...

Spring Floral Stamping with Ulta and Sally Hansen

Wednesday, April 16, 2014
Today I have another unique stamping combo to share. I wanted to get away from stamping with black, white, gold & silver for once. After rejecting several other color combos this is what I settled on: I used two coats of Ulta- Maine Attraction and sealed it with a layer of Poshe Top Coat before stamping. Once everything was dry I stamped over...

My First Juleps & a Review

Tuesday, April 15, 2014
I know some of you are die-hard Julep fans, while others completely despise the brand. These were gifted to me by a friend who just wasn't in love with the colors. I love natural colors, so these were right up my alley. Roc Solid is a grey cream. Pictured above is two coats with no top coat. The formula was really runny to...

NeoCell Review & Giveaway

Monday, April 14, 2014
I was recently contacted by NeoCell about trying a few of their products and giving away the same products I tried. Considering that their products are useful from both the athletic and cosmetic side, it seemed like an obvious choice. NeoCell specializes in collagen based products. Why collagen? Well, collagen plays a huge role in the make up of of our bodies. It...

Conjured by Amanda Wampler Custom Polish Review

Indie Polish Friday, April 11, 2014
Hey guys! Today I have a custom color from Conjured Polish. A dear friend of mine wanted a dupe of a very hard to find, out of production color. She loved it so much that she ordered a second bottle for me. Mamma Mia is a reddish-brown scattered holo. I used two thin coats to achieve full coverage. It almost had full coverage...

Dollish Polish Floral Stamping

Indie Polish Wednesday, April 09, 2014
I'm slowly getting into stamping when I have the time. There are so many gorgeous manis out there now that stamping plates are readily available. I finally got the hang of stamping a few months ago. I started with three coats of Dollish Polish- Totes Magotes and sealed it with Poshe. Once that was completely dry I stamped over the top with Essie- Penny Talk using BM-205....

Ulta- Maine Attraction Review

Tuesday, April 08, 2014
I'm back with another color from Ulta. A good friend spoiled me rotten when they were having a huge sale on polish, so I have a handful more scheduled in the future. Maine Attraction is a robins egg blue crelly. Shown above is two coats with Poshe Top Coat. The formula was nice and flowed easily without flooding my cuticles. I have a...
