I don’t have a lot of Essie polishes, but I decided to pull this out to try, and it’s beautiful! It’s a periwinkle- like a deep periwinkle- cream polish with a really easy formula. I don’t know if I’m just getting better at polishing with cream polishes or I’ve just had good luck with creams… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Essie Pret a Surfer
I got this polish, Get Cherried Away, at Sally’s during a half off clearance sale. I’m still bitter that the Sally’s I liked by me closed. They had some good polish! LOL This polish is from the Coca-Cola collection they did in 2014! It’s a really pretty cream, like a purply magenta, inspired by Cherry… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Get Cherried Away
I don’t have very many Orly polishes in my collection (My Nail Polish Rack app says I have 28), but I only have 2 Orly Colorblast polishes, and this is one of them, Warm Hugs (I’m assuming from Frozen, lol)- though I think this is a great summer color! It is a really really pretty… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday Orly Color Blast Warm Hugs
I wanted to try a Zoya and grabbed one randomly out of my Zoya drawer, and it was Journey! It’s a shimmery red/orange polish. The formula was divine! And the color- gorgeous! I did 3 coats. Zoya has lots of sales and promos (especially around Earth Day and Black Friday), and are consistently awesome. This… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Zoya Journey
Doesn’t OPI do hot pink well? Here is another gorgeous one- La-Paz-itively Hot. I can’t for the life of me (and a thorough Google search) figure out what collection it’s from! I did discover it’s from 2010ish- and there’s a shiny and a matte version. This is the shiny version. This was 3 coats, and… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI La-Paz-itively Hot
Pink pink pink!!! My favorite nail polish color! I consulted my nail polish rack app, and I have 345 polish classified as pink, 76 classified as magenta and 43 classified as fuchsia (and 10 berries, which could be pinks…..). Lots of pictures ahead! So I pulled out 4 random China Glaze pinks to try out,… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- 4 random China Glaze Pinks!
I finally wore a Butter London polish! This is Chimney Sweep, a charcoal black shimmery polish. The smears on the lid of the bottle are from my cuticle oil, lol. It was a good formula, easy to work with. This is 2 coats. I like the shimmer in this, too, and the charcoal color is… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Butter London Chimney Sweep
This polish is from the China Glaze Giver collection from Fall 2014. I think I found this at Sally Beauty Supply, since that’s where I get most of my China Glaze polish. And I always wait for their 50% off clearance sales, so I get them cheap! It’s a light taupey gray cream. This was… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Five Rules
This was from the China Glaze Street Regal collection from Fall 2017- so let’s get around to wearing it finally, lol Do you see the price tag? I got 50% off that during one of their clearance sales! So I paid less than $.25 for it! Yay! This was one coat! It looks black mostly,… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Glamcore
Holy bright polish, Batman! It’s called Peace, Love & Polish, and it’s totally groovy, lol. It’s a bright neon pink with a gold shimmer running through it. I think the shimmer running through it made the formula more easy to work with. It wasn’t streaky or weird at all. It’s really pretty and so bright,… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday Color Club Peace, Love & Polish
