Orly Mirrorball Swatches & Review

Mainstream Polish Monday, October 31, 2016
Orly Mirrorball may be the closest thing I will ever have to a religious experience. While I don't suffer from obsessive-compulsive-holo-purchasing disorder, I do appreciate a good holo. Before you tell me how old Orly Mirrorball is, I'm well aware that I'm quite late to this party. It was one of those shades I always meant to pick up, but it just never...

Halloween Ghosts & Cats featuring Painted Polish

Indie Polish Saturday, October 29, 2016
This will most likely be my final Halloween themed mani... at least until my Born Pretty Halloween plate arrives. For the final #clairestelle8halloween prompt, we are simply supposed to do something Halloween themed. With such an open-ended prompt, there are really unlimited options. I chose my favorite Halloween stamp for this one and called it good. Today's look features Painted Polish Get Your Ghost...

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Destination Duo featuring Firecracker Lacquer- Press sample Can someone please explain to me how it's Wednesday already?! I feel like I am losing time or something. Ok not really, but I swear it feels like I blinked and ended up nearly in winter. It certainly is odd to wake up in complete darkness knowing that I have no choice but...

Dem Bones Halloween Nail Art featuring Girly Bits Cosmetics

Indie Polish Tuesday, October 25, 2016
I'm a little bit sad that this is the second to last prompt in the #clairestelle8halloween challenge, but all good things must come to an end. The current prompt is "bones" so I wanted to pep it up a bit with something punchy. This look features Girly Bits Cosmetics Up All Night to Get Lucky (press sample), UberChic Beauty Halloween 02, and Sinful...
