China Glaze is just so good at nail polish, lol. This is Spring in my Step, a light pink cream. It had an okay formula, a little streaky and patchy but I powered through, lol. You can kind of see the patchiness here, but irl it’s not noticible. It’s a pretty color, not really my… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Spring in my Step
I’ve been wearing a lot of Super Moons lately- if I want something that I know will be gorgeous, and long-lasting and will only take at MOST two coats, I go to Super Moon. This first one, Beta 174, was truly a one coat polish!! The formula was great, and I love this beautiful shade… Read More Try More Thursday on a Friday, lol- Three Super Moon Betas!
Ever After is no longer a brand, but I pulled out some to try, and this one is pretty. It has a really pretty shimmer running through it, which I like. And it’s a pretty shade of blue, too. Good formula, I did three coats. LynBDesigns I Have No Time for Jam Hands- A Gilmore… Read More Try More Thursday- Ever After Mermaid, LynbDesigns I Have No Time for Jam Hands, Olive Av Aster
Illyrian Spark is super pretty. It’s an older Illyrian (round bottle), and I just love the purpley pink holo. It was three coats (probably could have done just two), and the formula was good. It’s such a pretty pastel polish! I just love the flakies and the holo. Then I wore Moon Shine Mani’s Duo,… Read More Try Them Tuesday- Illyrian Spark, Moon Shine Mani Poirot’s Chocolat Chaud and With Mini Marshmallows
This is China Glaze Blue Sparrow- I had no idea it was a matte polish until I put it on! This was from their 2008 INK collection- the same collection that brought us Celtic Sun. So cool, right? It almost has a shimmery vibe even though it’s matte. The formula was easy- even as a… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Blue Sparrow
Lollipop Posse is now Garden Path Lacquer. I pulled out Talking to Myself at Night to wear. I am such a sucker for these types of blue polishes Look at the gorgeous pink shimmer.

The formula was beautiful- I did… Read More Try Them Tuesday- Lollipop Posse Talking to Myself at Night, Ever After Polish Gilded Rose, Supernatural Lacquer Lasso of Truth
So I know it’s 2022, but here are the swatches of the OPI Holiday collection that I purchased. You can still purchase these, and spoiler alert, I love them! I got all the holos and the blue cream. So we’ll lead with my favorite, Mylar Dreams- the pink holo. It really is a one coater,… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- the OPI Holiday Collection
This is a cool polish from Painted Polish– it’s microglitter! Cool, right? It was full coverage in three coats (and a bit of a pita to remove, little microglitters everywhere, lol) But of course I adore the color. The formula was easy to work with. Then I wore Pahlish Calcifer. A great polish! I love… Read More Try More Thursday- Painted Polish Snowberry Slush, Pahlish Calcifer, Ever After MPT 7
When I first tried China Glaze’s Twinkle Twinkle Little Starfish, it was SUPER sheer- so I put on my JReine VNL first, then did 3 coats of Twinkle Twinkle Little Starfish. Oh, yes, this was when my dumb middle nail broke! Ugh. Oh well. It’s pretty, and fine, and it was a total PITA on… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze Twinkle Twinkle Little Starfish and Color Club Foil Me Once

Of course, kids, hubby and job also kept me busy! I didn’t have a ton of mainstream polish faves-… Read More Mainstream Nail Polish Favorites for 2021!
