Q: What's Black and White and Red All Over?

A: This stunning, gorgeous, hot polish! ACV really outdid herself this time. I'm in looooove with this! Take a look at 3 coats of Fine Print:

Yep. Totally in love. Anyway, I'll be at my church festival all weekend painting little girls' nails, so wish me luck!

Sliiiiiiiiime

Hello all! I'm having a great day, I hope you all are too:] I did some major hauling last night, so you'll see that really soon.. I have a fun green polish for you today from Lush Lacquer: Slime Time! Sidenote: I want basically all the polishes from that shop, it's ridiculous. This one is my first purchase, and I like it a lot. It is a little on the sheer side, but 3 coats makes it opaque and you really get a lot of glitter on each nail!

Isn't this one just so fun? I'm in love with the blue glitters in here, it really makes it special for me.

Twinsie Tuesday: Half Moon with Pastel & Neon

This week seriously flew by so fast for me, I can't believe it's Tuesday already! Anyway, the Twinsies were supposed to do a half moon mani using pastel and neon polishes. Now considering I don't really have neon polishes and I also don't have circley stickers, I think this came out well! I cut out the half moon shape using mailing labels and used this neon glitter I have in the works:]

Not the world's prettiest mani, but I like it enough:] The base I have going on underneath this is a jelly sandwich of OPI Care to Danse? and The Hungry Asian's Mumbling.

This is seriously so much better IRL. There's these teeny holographic glitters that look so pretty in the jelly sandwich. and the silver glitters look white, which I also love a lot.

I can't wait to see all the manis my Twinsies came up with!

Beach Day = More Orange

Hello! I've scheduled this post because as you read this, I'll be at the beach with my friends from school, HOPEFULLY getting a tan [finally!]. So in honor of beach day, you get to see more orange polish, because it's just about the most summery thing I can think of.

It looks so citrusy to me:] This is 2 coats of OPI Ya'll Come Back, You Hear? and 2 coats of BB Couture Horned Devil. The OPI has a terrible, terrible name. Just.... why?? Buttttttttttt, it's a pretty, squishy, shiny jelly, and it looks great under Horned Devil. Speaking of which, that iridescent microglitter? Makes me want every single BB Couture in the planet.

What is everyone up to today?? Anyone get that Zoya Pintrest Trio last night?

The Color of the Year

Ever since Pantone , announced their Color of the Year, Tangerine Tango, I've been hoarding orange things. Polishes, shoes, blazers.. I'm in love with it. Also, I'm basically the dream consumer, advertising really gets to me, so it's no wonder I'm loving orange haha. I have 2 oranges to show you today, a mainstream polish and an indie:] First up to bat is Essie's Orange, It's Obvious!

So first of all: I hate the name. However, this polish is really really gorgeous, so I'm willing to overlook the awkwardly long and dumb name;] The formula was amazing, almost a one coater but I put 2 coats on to smooth everything out. And it was really self leveling, too. Plus, the color looks great on my skin [not to toot my own horn or anything], AND I wore it for over 3 days. For a creme to hold my attention so long is a feat! Plus, I got no chipping and barely any tipwear!

Now, Alta Costura Vernis' Drama:

I believe this was 2 coats, but I've worn it out with 3 when I just wanted more glitter! Haha. The hearts in this are my absolute favorite part, I love it. And the orange jelly base is squishy and perfect and shiny. I had to search a little for the hearts, but nothing too bad. Plus, the maker of these is such a sweetie. And I have a LOT of ACV polishes, and I really love them all. You'll be seeing them a lot, hopefully in the next month:] 

Sparkles by Julie Review

Hello, all! Today I have a new-to-me indie brand, Sparkles by Julie, to show off! I got 3 of her lovely polishes a little while ago and she was incredibly sweet about setting up a listing for me, and according to her Etsy shop description, she's hurt her wrist:[ So I'm sending some get-well-soon wishes her way! 

So in addition to being really nice, Julie has also got some great polishes. I got 3 of her minis and I actually do love them all. Pictures first, more talk later. 2 coats on each polish, by the way:]

Water Lily

Lost in Space

Coco

Are you as in love with these as I am?! I can't even. Water Lily has got to be my favorite at the moment, though I know I'm going to be wearing Coco all autumn long. Plus, 2 coats and they're really opaque. I didn't have any problem at all with the formula, really great and flowed well for me. Anyway, I'm off to sit in the sun, since it's the first nice day we've had in a while here!

Not-So-Summery

So I have today this really gorgeous polish that I love, but is sooo not even a little summery haha. This is Buried Alive from Orly's Dark Curses collection, and it's just an amazing shimmery, glowy brown. I wasn't usually a fan of brown polish, but I think that if there's any shimmer or something, I'm automatically in love. This has a pretty morbid name, but I guess I get it in the context? I don't really know much about the movie this collection is based on, but I'm definitely glad that this polish came out because of it! 

Mmmmm shimmer<3 The formula on this was really great, 2 smooth coats. Really pigmented, too!
