I really enjoyed this polish! Perfect really for any time of year. Kind of understated elegance, if you… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Sweet Temptations
Unfortunately Sephora Formula X isn’t sold anymore- I think you can find them on occasion at TJ Maxx and places like that. I can’t remember where I got this one, I think in a destash, and the color is just so me! It’s a great color- and it’s MATTE! 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! This maybe leans a little on the cooler side of pink, but it is pretty neutral. I did 2 coats. I didn’t have any issues with the coats… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Zoya Eden

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. I did 3 coats of both as it starts out sheer, but builds up perfectly in 3. It’s so shimmery! And I… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday – Essie The Universe in Reverse (Mercury in Retrograde II) duo
I thought I’d try the first 4 random OPI blue polishes I grabbed from my OPI melmer! First one up is Cosmo with a Twist, from the Fall 2015 Starlight collection.

I picked a random Orly- from the 2007 Hot Stuff collection for Mainstream Mani Monday- Blue Collar.It’s quite a lovely blue! I did only 2 coats of this. Though I’m turning into a habitual 3 coater, I do stop at 2 when it’s obvious a polish doesn’t need it, lol. It was a super easy… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Blue Collar
Sometimes you get a mainstream multichrome! Here’s China Glaze Pondering. The blue green shift is really pretty, and easy to see! I did 3 thin coats- not only am I a habitual 3 coater almost always, but I do find that multichrome polishes are usually on the thin side and you need 3 coats for… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Pondering
