I pulled out an Orly polish, Off Beat, and it totally has UBS (ugly bottle syndrome). I had never used a polish with such bad UBS, but I’ve always heard it doesn’t affect the polish, so I thought it would be good to try it for myself. The white at the bottom half of the… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Off Beat
This polish was from the 2014 Gwen Stefani collection. It’s a really pretty purple polish. I actually found this randomly at a Dollar Tree, so that was awesome! This is a great blue leaning purple (blurple). The formula was great. It’s a scary cream, lol, but I didn’t have any issues and thought it looked… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI I Carol About You
I got a couple of the China Glaze OMG Flashback polishes on clearance at Ulta, and boy are they great! This is BFF on the left and IDK on the right. Both polishes were easy to work with. I’d heard that it was easy to get bald spots when you add coats (like it will… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- (on a Tuesday! LOL) China Glaze OMG! Flashback- BFF and IDK
Here’s my last (but definitely not least) Grinch polish from China Glaze! And it’s my favorite! Because of course the hot pink. I had swatched the other polishes, then had tragic nail breaks on both middle fingers. So here’s the shorties! This was a super easy polish to work with, 2 easy coats, and this… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Who Wonder

I got 4 of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas polishes, and I wanted to share 3 of them. So from my least favorite, Deliciously wicked- this was a tough formula, and I didn’t love the finished product up close. It was okay, here’s a closeup so you can kind of see- it was a little… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze The Grinch Who Stole Christmas polishes!
This is polish was from OPI’s Hawaii collection for spring/summer 2015. It’s called This Color’s Making Waves. It’s a really pretty polish! It’s a multi-chrome polish, and has that thin multi-chrome formula, so I did 3 coats. It was a really easy formula to work with, not too thin so it floods the cuticles.… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI This Color’s Making Waves
I don’t have a ton of Essie polishes, they’re just not my favorite for the price, but when they released their summer 2016 collection, Shimmer Brights, I bought the whole thing! Essie doesn’t do yellow polishes very often, from what I’ve seen, so the fact that they made their 1000th polish a shimmery yellow was… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Essie Aim to Misbehave
This is one gorgeous polish. It’s a dark green satin, and it is beautiful! There are some brush strokes on application, but they go away totally when it dries, as you can see in the close-up. Look at how pretty this looks! And the color is the perfect green for holidays. … Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Zoya Verushka
