This is a really pretty polish from Ethereal Polish called Amethyst of Fire. It’s not super purple, like I associate with an amethyst, it’s more pink, but I LOVE pink, so it’s all good. It has a jelly formula with awesome iridescent flakies. I did 3 thick coats to really build up the flakies and… Read More Try it Tuesday Ethereal Lacquer Amethyst of Fire
I saw these polishes online and immediately needed them- just for the amazing bottles!! But alas, they were only released in Canada (or at least, not released in the US!). An amazing friend from Makeup Alley went to Canada and got me 3 of them!!!! These are amazing. This is my favorite, Fuchsia Palace, because… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- 3 L’Oreal Le Vernis a L’Huile polishes
These Illyrians were part of the July 27 release. They took a long time to get to me, but Illyrians always do it seems. I got Astroworld and Red Planet. I’m a ~little~ worried about Astroworld. I didn’t like Bee’s Knees multichrome/flakie/magnetic, and it seems like this is along those same lines, so I will… Read More Nail Mail- Illyrian

I am not a fan of multichrome polishes generally. Especially the green/gold kind. But when I saw pictures of 1850 Artisan Polish’s September 2018 custom for the Polished Gamers Facebook group, I just had to have it. Here’s why. Isn’t it beautiful?? I love this color, it’s magenta, and of course it was hard to… Read More Try Another Thursday- 1850 Artisan Polish Hyrule Sunset
These first two polishes are from Ulta, they had a 50% off clearance sale, and I picked up these textured polishes! I wasn’t sure I wanted either of these, but I did at 50% off, they’ll be so fun to try. The pink one is the pink leather polish from the Grease collection, called Electrifyin’… Read More OPI Random Polishes and a Sally’s Haul!
This was a group custom in 2012, then re-released in 2017 (I think). Apparently the maker’s husband suggested the name, lol. It’s a full on hot pink glitter bomb! I did 2 coats, it’s got great coverage! It looks kind of cool in the close up! I love hot pink,… Read More Try it Tuesday- Pahlish Glittoris
Oooooh, a bright pink glass fleck Hello Kitty polish!!! OPI did their Hello Kitty collection in 2016, and it was so fun! This polish, Say Hello Kitty! was in a limited edition package with some Swarovski crystal bows. Hmmm, I wonder where I put those, lol. I did 3 coats to get it totally… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Say Hello Kitty!
Tonic Polish did a collection based on the Quenten Tarantino movie Death Proof, which I have never seen, so I have no idea what the names of the polishes refer to. I am ~trying~ to be on a limited buy, so I allowed myself to get two. I got Butterfly, which is a topper. I’m… Read More Tonic Nail Mail Stuntman Mike and Butterfly
I like Bee’s Knees polish, but I really didn’t like this polish. I think I just really am not a multi chrome person. This is a multi chrome magnetic with flakies. In this outside picture you can see the tip-wear, which I tend to get with multi chromes. For some reason, they seem to… Read More Try Another Thursday Bee’s Knees The Magician
