So this was a great summer mani! Orly Artificial Orange, from their Electric Escape Summer 2021 collection. Phew, that’s bright! It’s a cream, and it had a bit of a tricky formula, but worth the effort. It was quite opaque, but did need two coats. It’s a great neon orange! I have really been enjoying… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Artificial Orange
I ordered the Lisa Frank polishes from Ulta (thanks to a b-day gift card, they didn’t cost a thing, lol Hits the Spot, and the Dancing Dolphins trio, Purrrty in Pink, Sundae Sunshine, and Easy Tiger.

China Glaze Crown for Whatever surprised me- it’s a navy blue matte! Isn’t it so cool! It was from their 2017 Happily Never After Halloween collection. It was so fun! I loved watching it dry matte. A little lumpy on one nail, but not streaky! And I love the color. It accentuates the dip in… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Crown for Whatever, OPI Cajun Shrimp
So last November, on Thanksgiving actually, dd was super sick and we ended up going to an Urgent Care. They were fast, but prescribed a medication that we had to go get (couldn’t wait for later) at the ONLY open pharmacy open, at a Walgreens. So we waited and waited several hours. And while we… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac
Tried out some Zoyas! This is Mason. Super pretty red/violet shimmer. It was a thinner polish so I did three thin coats. Just love the dent in my middle finger nail! Idk what that is from, just a natural thing in my nail bed I guess. I like Zoya’s shimmer formula, and it wears well.… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Zoya Mason and Zoya Bee
I needed a quick mani and this was sitting out- I’d got it on sale somewhere and hadn’t put it away- so I started slapping it on- and it’s a textured polish!!!!

Okay, Color Club, these holos, though! They’re all amazing, and this one is GORGEOUS! This shade is absolutely beautiful, and it was a one coater.

Color Club really does holo so… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Color Club That’s Rich

And this is under artificial light, not even sunlight. It’s such a rich color purple. More rainbows! And then I… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Yet MORE Color Club Holos
I got 4 of this collection. Formula was good- I did do three coats of each one, and they were full opacity. I really like these polishes! First up is Feeling Opti-Prismic, a light pink color. This was the sheerest of the polishes, but there is no visible nail line at three coats. Pretty and… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- 4 OPI Infinite Shine Hidden Prism Polishes!
