Twinsie Tuesday: Halloween Inspired!

Hey lovelies! Sorry about the late post, I'm currently stuck in California, waiting out the hurricane on the East Coast. I pray everyone's doing well over there!! :/ I came to Cali for a wedding [which was amazing!] and my plane back got cancelled, so... here I am! Worse places to be, right? ;] Anyway, today I have my Halloween inspired mani to show you today. I planned on wearing this on actual Halloween, but I don't have a good blood red polish with me here. #nailpolishproblems. I've seen this over on a lot of polish blogs recently and I have no idea who came up with this idea [let me know if you do!], but I loved the idea and figured I could totally get away with this! So here's my blood dripping mani using Essie's Clutch Me if You Can on bare nails.

Heehee.. I love this one! So perfect and really really easy. I just did mine with one end of a bobby pin:]

Go look at my Twinsie's manis today to get spooked out!

Guest Post from Chelsea!!

Hello everyone! I'm Chelsea from Nailed and it's my pleasure to be back here again on Sarah's blog with you all. :) I always try to do something glittery and sparkly on my guest posts for Sarah, but this time I thought I'd switch it up a bit and go with some matte glitter!

I could spend--and let's be honest, have spent--hours on Etsy searching for awesome new indie brands. All that time is worth it for that moment when somewhere in a sea of swatches and bottle shots, you stumble across a polish that you fall completely in love with. That's what happened with me and Nail Pattern Boldness Flipping Out Hard. Flipping Out Hard is a mix of neon yellow, blue and green matte glitters in a clear base. This is arguably the polish that put NPB on the indie map and it's easy to see why!

The formula on Flipping Out Hard is a bit thick but not unworkable. I used three coats here and you'll likely want a second coat of topcoat to minimize the grittiness.

This is such a fun polish! It's super neon in person and my camera kind of got freaked out by how vivid the colors truly are. It's definitely a polish people will notice! You can pick up Nail Pattern Boldness on Llarowe.

I hope you all enjoyed having some fun in indie land with me today! Thank you so much for having me back, Sarah! :)



Thank you for this amazing post Chelsea!! Flipping Out Hard is AMAZING!

Twinsie Tuesday: First Swap

Happy Tuesday! Today, we're supposed to show you a polish we got in our first swap... But I can't remember mine for the LIFE of me. However, I did come across 2 polishes from an early swap, so I'm counting it;] These 2 are insanely lovely frankens from the ridiculously talented Ash of Art Evolve!

Guest Post from Meredith!

 Hello Everyone! This is Meredith from Polish and Charms! I have a fun, although short, little guest post for you today! This is OPI Fly with an accent nail of OPI Gargantuan Green Grape. For the OPI Fly I used 2 coats and for Gargantuan Green Grape I used between 3 and 4, I had a few spots where you could still see visible nail line.  I want to thank Sarah for letting guest post today!! 

Thank you so much Meredith! Both those polishes are GORGEOUS and I love them paired like this! <3 i="i" nbsp="nbsp">

Sowwy..?

Hi ladies! So sorry about the lack of posting these past few days, I was insanely busy on Thursday with my choir's fall banquet, then got really sick that night till now. Also, I sliced the pad of my pointer finger pretty badly, so I'm taking it as a sign that the nail gods are displeased. I'll be back tomorrow with some amazing guest posts and a giveaway though!

Guest Post from Jenn!

Hello, loves!

I am so excited to be featured on SeeSarahSwatch!  I really admire Sarah for her talent as a blogger and lacquer mixologist!  Thank you, Sarah, for allowing me to grace your blog!

I have for you...

(natural daylight)

This gorgeous polish is OPI Red Lights Ahead...Where?  This creme lacquer is super opaque and only need two thin coats!  I cannot get over how bright and corally this shade is!  I am loving it for the this wonky, hot weather we are currently experiencing is southern California!

To top off this beauty, I needed to add a bit of sparkle, so I used Miliani Gold Jewel FX!  I really love this combo!!

Thanks you a bunch, Sarah, for letting me come visit, and I hope your nails grow back super quickly!  Breaking nails is no fun!

Thank you so much Jenn for this post!!! <3 i="i" nbsp="nbsp">

Two Triple Layering Experiments

Happy Twinsie Tuesday! Today, we were supposed to use 3 different polishes and layer them to achieve our manis. So I did a couple that I was trying to be unexpected with, but I'm not a 100% happy with any of them. Ah well! Here's some of my attempts haha. Oh and you're only getting 3 fingers, my pinky nail is sad and broken :[

Attempt #1

Sally Hansen Ion [which is gorgeous and what I wore all weekend]

+ Lynnderella Night Shade

+Milani Rad Purple [not thrilled with my application here, but the concept was fun!]

Attempt #2

Zoya Wednesday

+ Literary Lacquers A Midsummer Night's Dream

+ Darling Diva Polish Regulus [it made this weird murky purple...]

I hope my Twinsies had better luck with this than I did! :]
