These are my only two Essie Expressie polishes in my entire collection. I got them because I saw a swatch video and really liked the colors, so I popped them into an Ulta order to get to free shipping. First is Sk8 with Destiny. A light periwinkle. It’s super pretty, but the formula was terrible,… Read More Polish I Wore- Essie Expressie- Sk8 with Destiny and Trick Clique
I’m back!! I’m going to try to be a better poster in 2024. With the death of my husband in early January 2023, it really threw off a lot for the whole year. I’m trying to get back to a more “normal” (whatever that means) life. And that life includes LOTS of nail polish! I… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Sinful Colors Bee Envious- Busy Being Queen and She Stings
I typically don’t do jellies, but these came in the Kelli Marissa x Orly Halloween collab, so I tried them out! First up, Oasis Jelly. Three coats and it’s a touch patchy. I’m sure if you do jelly sandwiches that patchiness goes away. Teal isn’t my favorite color, but it is a good Halloween color.… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Kelli Marissa Jellies
First, OPI On Pinks and Needles. I just don’t wear tons of toppers, though I do like them and trying to get better at wearing them. This was very thick. I did my best, lol. You can see the base is tinted pink, so it colors the white polish base to a light pink. See… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- 2 Pink OPI Toppers!
China Glaze Thatway- this is from AT LEAST 2009! I have no idea how old my bottle actually is, lol. You can see from the Sally’s sticker this was at least back when China Glaze polishes were $7 full size, and I got it on sale for $.99. The formula was awesome! It didn’t need… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Thataway and OPI You’re Such a Budapest
Spreading Cheer quad- Aphrodite, Sooki, Mae, Morgan Fa la la la la quad- Dakota, Sarah, Alegra (the only repeat for me) and Veronica All Spruced Up quad- Envy, Olivera, Lidia, Giada Who knew Amazon had great Zoya deals??? Live your life with love in your heart and glitter on your nails!
Sometimes you just need a full on glitter bomb. I tried this in three coats on its own (pointer and middle finger), and over a gray Zoya (maybe Cary?) in one coat. Look how much glitter comes out in just one coat! And the three coats is pretty much full coverage. A nice pretty even… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Pine-ing for Glitter, Color Club Wing Fling
Zoya had a 70% off sale, so I needed some polish! I got Ali, Matilda, Roxy, Elliot Celi, Blaze, Lola, Kalista Then I got the Y2K trio Tamiah, Sparrow and Malana. Overall, I’m super excited for these polishes!!
I went to visit my parents at the beach in NC, and that trip has lots of Sally Beauty Supplys on the way, so I stopped at a few! Many of the ones I used to go to where I live closed, so it’s fun to go to a Sallys to see what was on… Read More Nail Mail- Sally’s Haul Sally Hansen and Morgan Taylor
This was a Target exclusive Essie collection and I really liked it! Spoiler, my favorite is at the end. Surprisingly, this pink, Extra Credit, is my least favorite of the three I picked up, but I still really like it! I watched a swatch video and they noted this was the color of pencil erasers,… Read More Mainstream Main Monday- Essie Study Tips
