This is a China Glaze polish from their 2009 Romantique collection- I didn’t get it in 2009, I’m sure I got it after 2015, when I started seriously collecting polish, and I’m sure I got it on clearance at Sallys! It’s a pretty purply mauve color with shimmer. It’s a pretty polish, not anything spectacular-… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Joy

Of course, that means you can… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Sephora Formula X Hyped
This is such a pretty jelly-like summery color! I did 3 coats just for the jelly squishiness of it. It’s an orangy red – this is a pretty color accurate picture, though some of my pictures show it a little more orange than it is irl. It was the easy crelly formula that China Glaze… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Sun-Set the Mood
This is such a pretty pink cream polish from Zoya! In case you didn’t know, I’m scared of creams, but this was nice and easy to use!

Essie did 2 polishes in honor of Mercury being in retrograde, and they are so so pretty! First up is the pink/coral color, Happy Medium. Both polishes have the same pearly shimmery finish.
