Anger.
Hi ladies! My crappy internet at this house hates Blogger apparently, and decides not to upload pictures, so my Twinsie Tuesday post will be late again today:[ I've been scheduling posts for a few days, and apparently, I'll have to do them all like that right before my classes start so I can use the school's wifi. So sorry TT ladies [especially Jenn, my copycat mani draw!]. I hate this wifi! Grrr.

My Scarlet Knights Mani!
Today is the first home football game of the season here at Rutgers! So you know where I'll be:] This is my last football season here [senior year.. terrifying!], so I'm determined to get to all the games I can. This mani is definitely special to me. I'm so happy with it! I ordered a bunch of customs from Lacquistry a little while ago and Jenna was absolutely AMAZING with the creations she whipped up! I asked her for a red, black, and gold glitter polish for my school's colors and named after RU's mascot, the Scarlet Knight. And ladies? It's gorgeous. Really stunning. I put one coat over Revlon Velvet Rope here. This is also the mani I wore on my first day of senior year!
The only bad thing about this mani... the bubbles:[ My Glitter Tamer is quickly becoming unusable. Anyone have any replacement suggestions??:]

Dollish Polish: Koopa King!
Hi all! I'll probably be still internet-less when this post goes up, but I wanted to make sure you all had something to look at:] This is the mani I wore when I moved into school, and I'm basically obsessed. I wore it for 3 days! That's quite the achievement. Here's 2 coats of Essie Bikini So Teeny with 1 coat of Dollish Polish Koopa King.
I thought this was really so fun to wear. It just looks so cute! Normally, I'm not a fan of bar glitter, but it somehow really really worked in this polish. I can't wait to layer this over some more colors! While the first Dollish I tried was a disappointment, this definitely redeemed DPs for me. Great formula, and while it's not PACKED with glitter, I think the coverage was perfect for a topper.

Twinsie Tuesday: a Fugly Polish
Note: I have not had internet or access to a computer for 3 days now:[ This is the first time I've been able to temporarily connect, so I'll be posting my TT post [which was written but wouldn't post] and some more that I'd wanted to schedule. So sorry about this!!
Guys, I'm freaking out.. It's my first day of my senior year at college!! :[ What the heck?! I have the perfect mani on right now, so it's making me a little happier. But still. So weirded out right now.. I can't believe how fast it's gone by!
I know you all want to see my fugly nails heehee;] This is actually one of my favorite polishes on me. Last time I wore this, I got a lot of compliments from my more fashion-forward friends. But it is such a strange color, and I'm sure it doesn't float everyone's boat, so I think it qualifies as a fugly polish, yes?? Without further ado, here's 2 coats of OCC Swamp Thing!
Love or hate?? I really want to know what you ladies think!!

Aphrodite Lacquers Review!
Happy Sunday, everyone. I just moved back to school yesterday, and I hate hate hate unpacking, so this is my break:] I have 2 lovely glitters from Aphrodite Lacquers today. They're both from the Friday Night Glitter Bombs collection just out, and when Rebecca and I were talking, she mentioned that they'd be great for jelly sandwiches. So that's exactly what I did!
Disco Ball is described as "sheer polish, with a silver shimmer, and multiple different silver, black, and white glitter". Shimmer city here! I love the black glitter over the dark base, and I like how the purple shimmer of Daddy's Girl looks over the white square glitters:]
**Some polishes were provided in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and are not influenced by this.**
Over 2 coats of Wet N Wild Fuchsia-Rama
Sandwiched between Fuchsia-Rama!
Eeeee! Catfight is described as "sheer red polish, with a pinkish purple shimmer, and multiple different red, black, and white glitters, including small red round holo glitters". The shimmer just would not show up on camera, but it's really nice IRL. I'm a sucker for pink and red combos, so this had me sold. I'll definitely be wearing this over 3 coats of Fuchsia-Rama next time. Also, I keep thinking of this polish as Catfish, not Catfight...
Disco Ball over Essie Berry Naughty
Over Berry Naughty, under Sinful Colors Daddy's Girl

With both of these, the formula was good and the glitter was pretty easy to get on the nail and spread. I love the addition of the shimmer, it makes the polish just a little more special to me. And again, Aphrodite Lacquers can be found here!

Nail Clouds!
So I was inspired by this week's color blocking TT post! I decided to do some more nail art [I know. Weird!] -ish stuff and did a nail cloud mani! This was actually really easy, and I really love the whole effect. Like a funky french, but more... bubbly looking. AND I get to use 3 colors at once! Always a plus. I did this one with Revlon Provence, then Barry M Raspberry, then Sinful Colors Rainstorm for the last clouds:]
Sorry about the wear, this was after 2 days! I must have really liked this mani haha
Provence on its own. For some reason, I wasn't a big fan of this polish on me. I gave it away, I think I'm gonna stick with Essie Lilacism for now..
Sorry about the wear, this was after 2 days! I must have really liked this mani haha

Feenix Swatches and Review
Hello lovelies! I have some great polishes to show you today from Feenix Polish :]
First up is Country Roads. My feelings on this one have been like a roller coaster. Loved it in the listing pictures, wasn't impressed with it in the bottle IRL, then really liked it again when it was on the nail. I was a little disappointed the the multi-chrome shown in the picture wasn't apparent in person, but I really love the polish for what it is. I'll stop blabbering for a second.
This one is right up my alley. Vibrant blue jelly, with tons of glitter. Swoon! I really adore shades like this, I can't get enough. It's like a mini galaxy:] Or a pumped up version of Essie SSN. This was at 2 coats, and the more sheer spots in these pictures don't exist at all in person.
Formula on both of these was good, flowed well. I got a ton of glitter payoff in DwtBDO, and CR was good in terms of opacity. I think you might be able to get away with 2 thicker coats there.
So there you have 2 stunners from Feenix Polish! be sure to check out that Etsy store, she really has some stunners in there. I'm lusting after Cammie, Falling for You, Halloween Party, Clots of Love, Shake Your Tailfeathers, Feenix Rising, and Embers !

3 coats
With flash.
LtoR: 3 coats Country Roads, 1 coat CR over Finger Paints Sketchy Character, 1 coat CR over Zoya Penny
My favorite way to wear this is definitely on its own, it looks so cozy and plush to me. I'm definitely wearing this around Thanksgiving time, I can't wait. There's definitely a duochrome aspect to this polish, and it's really unique. The shimmer is really stunning in this.
2 coats
