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
First, OPI On Pinks and Needles. I just don’t wear tons of toppers, though I do like them and trying to get better at wearing them. This was very thick. I did my best, lol. You can see the base is tinted pink, so it colors the white polish base to a light pink. See… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- 2 Pink OPI Toppers!
China Glaze Thatway- this is from AT LEAST 2009! I have no idea how old my bottle actually is, lol. You can see from the Sally’s sticker this was at least back when China Glaze polishes were $7 full size, and I got it on sale for $.99. The formula was awesome! It didn’t need… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Thataway and OPI You’re Such a Budapest
Sometimes you just need a full on glitter bomb. I tried this in three coats on its own (pointer and middle finger), and over a gray Zoya (maybe Cary?) in one coat. Look how much glitter comes out in just one coat! And the three coats is pretty much full coverage. A nice pretty even… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Pine-ing for Glitter, Color Club Wing Fling

I went to visit my parents at the beach in NC, and that trip has lots of Sally Beauty Supplys on the way, so I stopped at a few! Many of the ones I used to go to where I live closed, so it’s fun to go to a Sallys to see what was on… Read More Nail Mail- Sally’s Haul Sally Hansen and Morgan Taylor
This was a Target exclusive Essie collection and I really liked it! Spoiler, my favorite is at the end. Surprisingly, this pink, Extra Credit, is my least favorite of the three I picked up, but I still really like it! I watched a swatch video and they noted this was the color of pencil erasers,… Read More Mainstream Main Monday- Essie Study Tips
I picked Mustard the Courage on a whim when I made a polishpick.com order. Because everyone says how great it is, and I do like it! I love the shade and the formula is great! A great fall color, not too brown or green leaning. It’s really great CG color, highly recommend! Sleeping Under the… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Mustard the Courage and China Glaze Sleeping Under the Stars
I held off, I tried not to buy it. BUT I HAD TO. And I haven’t even ever had Dippin’ Dots. Nope. But I got the whole China Glaze Dippin’ Dots collex. I got it off Ebay. It was less than $30 for all of them. I was kind of dumb, I had ordered other… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Dippin’ Dots Collection
China Glaze really just….slays….Halloween polish, lol. Here’s Glitter Goblin. A full on, hardcore glitter polish. See how sparkly? I did three coats just to get full coverage. Next is China Glaze Hex Boyfriend. A deep dark green matte polish! Phew, talk about a tough formula! It is one of those China Glaze mattes that dries… Read More Halloween 2022 Mainstream Mani Monday China Glaze Glitter Goblin, China Glaze Hex Boyfriend, China Glaze Night and Slay
