How I didn’t have Essie Chinchilly already in my collection I do not know. I was HEAVILY influenced by Mediocre Mani, who likes this color for interviews. And I was like, oh, I probably need that. I did a big order on Polishpick.com, but they didn’t have Chinchilly, so I picked it up on Ebay!… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Essie Chinchilly
Slowly getting through my Zoyas! This is Esme. Kind of light coppery orangey shimmery polish. If I remember correctly, I did three coats and it was an easy formula. It’s a great fall polish (I mean, you wear whatever you want whenever, but for me this would be more of a fall shade). Then I… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Zoya Esme and Formula X Prismatic
This Essie is so pretty! And it’s a cream! Essie Secret Story This is a very jelly formula, isn’t it such a pretty color! And even though this is three coats, you can see a bit of vnl. More so in pictures than irl. Doesn’t this look squishy??? I love it! Just a big fan.… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Essie Secret Story, Orly Brittany Beach
I love black polishes, and this one from Color Club is so pretty! Especially when I have shorter nails. This has some silver shimmer running through it. I only had to do two coats, the formula was fine. I got this when they did their $1 mystery polishes. Just always really love a black polish!… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Color Club Showtime and Orly On a Whim
Color Club Cherubic is a classic Color Club Halo Hues polish. It’s such a pretty champagne colored neutral holo!! I did do three coats but an easy breezy formula. I am not much of a neutral polish girl, but neutral with wow, that is awesome! See that rainbow???? Gorgeous. Then to Then to a gorgeous… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Color Club Cherubic, OPI Feel the Chemis-tree
Soooooo, Zoya Maddy is not at all my type of color. But Zoya got me, because my oldest daughter is named Madison, and we’ve always called her Maddy, spelled like this (often we see it spelled Maddie). So of course I had to have it. It looks okay, but dang the formula was hard to… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Zoya Maddy and China Glaze Guava Mama
I finally picked up Essie Ballet Slippers- if you can see the yellow sticker, I got this at Kohls for like $2, lol. So of course I got it to try. And yes, it’s streaky for sure! This is three coats- you can see some streaks on the ring finger and pinky. It’s a pretty… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Essie Ballet Slippers, Essie Petal Pushers, and OPI I’m in the Moon for Love
These are my only two Essie Expressie polishes in my entire collection. I got them because I saw a swatch video and really liked the colors, so I popped them into an Ulta order to get to free shipping. First is Sk8 with Destiny. A light periwinkle. It’s super pretty, but the formula was terrible,… Read More Polish I Wore- Essie Expressie- Sk8 with Destiny and Trick Clique
I’m back!! I’m going to try to be a better poster in 2024. With the death of my husband in early January 2023, it really threw off a lot for the whole year. I’m trying to get back to a more “normal” (whatever that means) life. And that life includes LOTS of nail polish! I… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Sinful Colors Bee Envious- Busy Being Queen and She Stings
I typically don’t do jellies, but these came in the Kelli Marissa x Orly Halloween collab, so I tried them out! First up, Oasis Jelly. Three coats and it’s a touch patchy. I’m sure if you do jelly sandwiches that patchiness goes away. Teal isn’t my favorite color, but it is a good Halloween color.… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Kelli Marissa Jellies
