I saw these polishes online and immediately needed them- just for the amazing bottles!! But alas, they were only released in Canada (or at least, not released in the US!). An amazing friend from Makeup Alley went to Canada and got me 3 of them!!!! These are amazing. This is my favorite, Fuchsia Palace, because… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- 3 L’Oreal Le Vernis a L’Huile polishes
Oooooh, a bright pink glass fleck Hello Kitty polish!!! OPI did their Hello Kitty collection in 2016, and it was so fun! This polish, Say Hello Kitty! was in a limited edition package with some Swarovski crystal bows. Hmmm, I wonder where I put those, lol. I did 3 coats to get it totally… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Say Hello Kitty!
This is China Glaze’s She’s a Mane-iac, from their 2017 My Little Pony collection. It is a gorgeous pink shimmer, but IT STAINED MY NAILS TERRIBLY!! Sorry for yelling, but nothing has ever ever stained my nails before! This stained my nails, cuticles, everything I touched hot pink!!!! Also, I got a new light and… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze She’s A Mane-iac
This is a great polish, Color Club’s Right On, a bright purple neon! I did 2 coats, and was super surprised that it actually dried matte. But then I remembered that neons usually do! This one is unusual, in that it has a little bit of shimmer in it, which to me always seems to… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Color Club Right On
Whim was a brand that used to be at Ulta, but it isn’t there now. I picked up a couple when they have 50% off their clearance. I was just building my polish collection, and I didn’t have a yellow cream polish. This is Whim Lemon Drop. At the time I didn’t know just how… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Whim Lemon Drop
Essie Seen on the Scene was from their 2016 Shimmer collection. This is kind of a mid toned warmer pink. I don’t have a lot of Essie polishes, they’ve just never really floated my boat, but this was okay. I did 2 coats, and the formula was fine. I thought it might be a… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Essie Seen on the Scene
Cream polishes scare me, and pastel creams especially! I just never seem to get them right. One of my all-time most hated polishes is China Glaze’s Refresh-mint, a light mint cream. But this light mint cream is not bad! I didn’t have any trouble with it, though I did end up doing 3 coats for… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI That’s Hula-rious
This is a gorgeous glowy purple polish from OPI’s 2012 Germany collection- such a great collection! Please excuse the cat hair in my pictures- I do believe it’s Kitty Purry fluff, here she is! This is really pretty- but it was a really weird formula. It went on patchy, streaky and weird on the first… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Suzi and the 7 Dusseldorfs
This is a nail polish I got when I bought a bunch from someone in my neighborhood, when I was first trying to build a collection. I didn’t know then that I don’t love these light white/cream colors on me, lol. This was hard to work with, kind of clumpy and streaky. I had to… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Kiss the Bride
This is Morgan Taylor’s Rebel with a Cause, from their Winter 2014 collection (Glam Rock collection). It’s a pretty burgundy color, and was great in 2 coats. It has some small flecks in it, it’s not a cream finish. Here’s a closeup you can see a little bit of that. The formula was easy… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Morgan Taylor Rebel With a Cause
