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
So I needed a gallon of acetone, so picked up some polish! All the clearance at Sally’s was an extra 25% off, so there was that, lol. And I’d forgotten that they had put all their Essies on clearance, so I had to get some! L-r The It Factor, Model Clicks, Once Upon a Time,… Read More Fun Sally’s Beauty Supply haul
