This is a really pretty polish from Ethereal Polish called Amethyst of Fire. It’s not super purple, like I associate with an amethyst, it’s more pink, but I LOVE pink, so it’s all good. It has a jelly formula with awesome iridescent flakies. I did 3 thick coats to really build up the flakies and… Read More Try it Tuesday Ethereal Lacquer Amethyst of Fire
These Illyrians were part of the July 27 release. They took a long time to get to me, but Illyrians always do it seems. I got Astroworld and Red Planet. I’m a ~little~ worried about Astroworld. I didn’t like Bee’s Knees multichrome/flakie/magnetic, and it seems like this is along those same lines, so I will… Read More Nail Mail- Illyrian
I am not a fan of multichrome polishes generally. Especially the green/gold kind. But when I saw pictures of 1850 Artisan Polish’s September 2018 custom for the Polished Gamers Facebook group, I just had to have it. Here’s why. Isn’t it beautiful?? I love this color, it’s magenta, and of course it was hard to… Read More Try Another Thursday- 1850 Artisan Polish Hyrule Sunset
This was a group custom in 2012, then re-released in 2017 (I think). Apparently the maker’s husband suggested the name, lol. It’s a full on hot pink glitter bomb! I did 2 coats, it’s got great coverage! It looks kind of cool in the close up! I love hot pink,… Read More Try it Tuesday- Pahlish Glittoris
Tonic Polish did a collection based on the Quenten Tarantino movie Death Proof, which I have never seen, so I have no idea what the names of the polishes refer to. I am ~trying~ to be on a limited buy, so I allowed myself to get two. I got Butterfly, which is a topper. I’m… Read More Tonic Nail Mail Stuntman Mike and Butterfly
I like Bee’s Knees polish, but I really didn’t like this polish. I think I just really am not a multi chrome person. This is a multi chrome magnetic with flakies. In this outside picture you can see the tip-wear, which I tend to get with multi chromes. For some reason, they seem to… Read More Try Another Thursday Bee’s Knees The Magician
I’ve got a FEVER! A fever for more COWBELL!!! And here is Girly Bit’s More Cowbell! I bought this solely for the name, but it’s a beautiful blue leaning gray holographic. Easy in 2 coats, no problems at all with the formula- it is definitely on the thinner side, but easy to manage. … Read More Try it Tuesday- Girly Bits More Cowbell

Each maker gets to pick a theme, and then do a polish for that theme for several months in a row (different polishes each month).

In honor of September Polish Pickup starting today for September, I’m posting my last month’s haul- it was a big one, lol. Join the Polish Pickup Pack on Facebook for tons of previews and videos of upcoming polishes.

Okay, let me preface this post by saying I am a HUGE John Singer Sargent fan. Huge. His painting Carnation Lily, Lily Rose is my most favorite painting of all time. I have seen it in person at the Tate Museum in London, and am surprised I wasn’t reprimanded by the guards for staring at… Read More Try Another Thursday- AEngland Carnation Lily, Lily Rose
