Tropical Sunset Gradient featuring China Glaze and UberChic Beauty

Mainstream Polish Thursday, June 30, 2016
Sometimes I need a subtle nude, and other times I need something entirely obnoxious and loud. This mani happened back when we were having a ton of rain, and all I wanted was some sunshine. When you live in Oregon, you know that sometimes you have to make your own sun. That's exactly what I did. I started with a base of Daisy...

Going on a Hike with Scofflaw Nail Varnish

Indie Polish Tuesday, June 28, 2016
The final @clairestelle8challenge prompt was fairly open-ended. It simply calls for glitter, which could result in just about anything. Since I finished all of my untrieds, I wanted to take this opportunity to revisit some of my most loved shades. Scofflaw Nail Varnish Love Letter to Bob Ross/Happy Little Tree duo holds a very special place in my heart. I've always enjoyed Bob...

Beachy Water Marble featuring Bohemian Polish

Indie Polish Saturday, June 25, 2016
I've done a few beach themed manis in the past, so I wanted toss it up a bit for this @clairestelle8challenge prompt. With the recent release of the Bohemian Polish Washed Out 3.0 collection, I felt as though it was only fitting to use one of those. Just a note for clarity, the Bohemian Polish was given to me for review. It does...

Bohemian Polish Washed Out 3.0 vs 2.0

Indie Polish Thursday, June 23, 2016
Bohemian Polish Washed Out 3.0 vs 2.0- Press sample I wanted to give you a better idea of what changed between the Washed Out 2.0 and 3.0 collections. They both marble, so the biggest difference is the change in opacity and color. I've taken each color from the 2.0 collection and compared it to the updated 3.0 version. In each photo, you will...

Cupcake Polish Jingle with Zigzag Nail Art

Indie Polish Tuesday, June 21, 2016
I can't even believe I'm typing this, but Cupcake Polish Jingle was my very last untried. I've officially worn every shade I own, and it feels great. I can finally go back and rewear my favorites without feeling bad about unloved polish just sitting around. Jingle is so pretty that I could wear it on its own, but I wanted to pair it...

Bohemian Polish Summer of Love Collection

Indie Polish Monday, June 20, 2016
Bohemian Polish Summer of Love Collection- Press sample I promised two collections, so here's the second one. Summer of Love is a five-piece collection from Bohemian Polish inspired by Courtney Love. Each shade was inspired by a song, but I'm not going to tell you which ones. If you can guess any of the songs, be sure to leave me a comment below. I'm...

Unicorns and Shorties

Indie Polish Saturday, June 18, 2016
I don't know if you guys will remember this, but practically eons ago Firecracker Lacquer gave me her very first Halloween themed collection for review. It contained We All Float Down Here, which ended up being one of my favorite Firecracker Lacquer shades to date. Today's nail art challenge prompt calls for unicorns. I wanted to go for something light and playful, and...

Bohemian Polish Washed Out 3.0 Collection

Indie Polish Friday, June 17, 2016
Bohemian Polish Washed Out 3.0 Collection- Press sample I don't think I've been this excited about neons since the Bohemian Polish Washed Out 2.0 collection. There have been a couple of minor changes to this collection, but they are all for the best. What's new with the third release? These are much brighter and more opaque than their predecessors. There's also an eight...

Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer May Destination Trio

Indie Polish Wednesday, June 15, 2016
Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer May Destination Trio- Press sample I know this is crazy late, but USPS decided to take my polish on vacation before it landed here. I'm a little bit jealous that my package got to visit Alaska before I did. Anyway, let's dive into the Destination Polish Trio. This month's trio is a collaboration between Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer, Northern...
