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
I belong to a lot of brand specific Facebook pages, and I always enter the giveaways they have- usually they’re just posts you have to comment on, or add a gif, something like that, and heck, you never know! And in the months of August and September I won 3 different polishes doing that! Then… Read More Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
I have had this polish for a long long time! I belong to Makeup Alley, mostly posting on the Nail Board, and we have weekly “themes” for the year (in quotes, because of course there’s no obligation to do the themes!). I was kind of uninspired, so I looked at the themes, and the one… Read More Try Another Thursday- Femme Fatale The Necromancer
Tonic Polish is a great brand, I have really liked everything I tried! Pepper is a gray purple mauve with OG UP (a special red/green flashing pigment). This color is a little more…subdued? than I usually wear, but man oh man, it’s soooo gorgeous! I did 3 coats. It was very easy to work with,… Read More Try Another Thursday- Tonic Pepper (a day late!!!)
This was a Polish Pickup polish for the month of September (2018). The theme was Horror Movies, and this polish was based on the movie IT. Now, I’m more of a suspenseful/creepy movie person, not full on blood and guts horror, so I have neither seen the movie or read the book. But I can… Read More Try it Tuesday- JReine Hiya Georgie
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
This was Nine Zero Lacquer’s polish for the Road to Polish Con in February 2017. I finally wore it! It’s a mid tone pink foil, and it’s so shiny! The picture above is a pretty good representation of the color. In some lights it has a bit of a purple tone to it, like the picture… Read More Try Another Thursday Nine Zero Lacquer VIP? Not Me!
The May Polish Pickup theme was The 90s. I’m an 80s girl myself, but I can appreciate a good 90s polish, lol. And this is an amazing polish!! It’s such a great summery orange. To me there are 2 kinds of orange, the bright summery kind (like this one) and then the more burnt/Halloween… Read More Try it Tuesday- Anchor and Heart Isn’t it Ironic
This is a gorgeous polish. I have to admit, I was scared to try it! It’s a cream polish (eek!!), it’s dark and would probably stain, it’s hard for me to make the cuticle area look good with this kind of polish- but oh my gosh, it was amazing! This is a gorgeous color,… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Nicole by OPI Feeling Very Cherry
I really like both these brands, and when they did a duo I decided I needed it, lol. And then Ethereal had a mix up making the polish and made an oops- so those who ordered got the oops for free! Here they are. The “real” Ethereal is on the left, called Necromance, the JReine… Read More Nail Mail- JReine and Ethereal Dark Magic Duo
