Oh my heck, this was the cutest mani! The base is China Glaze Cuba Diving, a gorgeous turquoiseish blue. The formula was excellent! This is two coats, great opacity. And then to make it super fun, I pulled out KB Shimmer Spotted!! Excuse all those weird bubbles in the top coat, not really noticeable irl!… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Cuba Diving topped with KB Shimmer Spotted
Well, this polish is aptly names! Wham, Pow indeed!! A BRIGHT neon orange cream! This polish is stunning and the formula is amazing. I’m pretty sure this was only two coats. That color!!

This polish was from the 2015 Electric Nights collection, just as I was getting into nail polish. I actually think I picked this one up later, not in 2015, but can’t be sure. China Glaze Red-y to Rave. This is described as a neon red, but it’s orange in my opinion. When I researched this… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Red-y to Rave
I love light polishes, but sometimes they don’t love me. This one loved me! LOL! Orly Stratosphere. To be fair, this isn’t really white- in my app, whoever put it in characterized it as a pastel blue?? I don’t see that, I see a purple leaning gray. See? And it was a little patchy, you… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday-Orly Stratosphere, Essie I Need a Vacation
I love a navy polish! This was kind of hard to photograph, I got a lot of reflection off the shiny nails, lol. OPI My Favorite Gal Pal, from the first Hello Kitty collection. Here’s a little better picture. Navy is tough, too, if you get it on your cuticle it really likes to cling!… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI My Favorite Gal Pal- topped with a cool topper, Emily de Molly Waiting for the Sun!
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.

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.

Then to Then to a gorgeous… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Color Club Cherubic, OPI Feel the Chemis-tree
