Essie did 2 polishes in honor of Mercury being in retrograde, and they are so so pretty! First up is the pink/coral color, Happy Medium. Both polishes have the same pearly shimmery finish. I did 3 coats of both as it starts out sheer, but builds up perfectly in 3. It’s so shimmery! And I… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday – Essie The Universe in Reverse (Mercury in Retrograde II) duo
I was born in the 70s, so Sesame Street is my jam. I truly grew up with Sesame Street, so I had to pick up at least some of these! And then Sally’s had all their China Glaze polishes for $3.99 (and I got a couple from Polish Pick). But first, some classic Sesame Street.… Read More Nail Mail & Sally’s Haul China Glaze You Do Hue Sesame Street Collection
Elevation Polish is no longer being made/sole, but I’ve found several in destashes and have picked several up. This is Mount Agepsta. From looking this up on the Web apparently this has real diamond, sapphire, amethyst and quartz powder in the polish, which is cool. Spot the cat hair on my pinky! It’s a unique… Read More Try Another Thursday- Elevation Mount Agepsta
I picked a random Orly- from the 2007 Hot Stuff collection for Mainstream Mani Monday- Blue Collar.It’s quite a lovely blue! I did only 2 coats of this. Though I’m turning into a habitual 3 coater, I do stop at 2 when it’s obvious a polish doesn’t need it, lol. It was a super easy… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Blue Collar
This is a pretty blurple multichrome with flakies from Illyrian Polish. I can’t for the life of me remember when I got this, but it’s in the older bottle style, lol. It’s good at 2 coats. The formula was easy to work with, nothing I remember that was hard to work with. You can see… Read More Try Another Thursday – on a Friday – Illyrian Polish Prototype 35
You don’t really hear too much about Starrily, which is too bad! They did just do a collab with Kelli Marissa on YouTube (this polish wasn’t part of that collab, that’s just what the most recent news about them was, lol). This is Sunset Boulevard, and it’s gorgeous!! This is a orangy pink foily multichrome-… Read More Try it Tuesday- Starrily Sunset Boulevard
This is such a pretty polish! It was a custom by Supernatural Lacquer for the Rainbows and Unicorn Pee Facebook group in April (2019) called Narwhalways and Forever, isn’t that so cute! A beautiful polish! I personally don’t understand the fascination with UP (unicorn pee), especially since now it doesn’t seem like it’s super rare… Read More Try Another Thursday- Supernatural Narwhalways and Forever
I am super excited to share these polishes with you today! 786 Cosmetics reached out to me to try their polishes. This brand is unique in that their polish is halal. Halal is an Arabic word meaning lawful or permitted, used in relation to food, meat, cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals and other things. From… Read More Try it Tuesday- A New (to me) Brand, 786 Cosmetics!
I don’t have a lot of Essie polishes, but I decided to pull this out to try, and it’s beautiful! It’s a periwinkle- like a deep periwinkle- cream polish with a really easy formula. I don’t know if I’m just getting better at polishing with cream polishes or I’ve just had good luck with creams… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Essie Pret a Surfer
I had bought this polish from Different Dimension awhile ago, so I just pulled it out of my DD section for fun! This was from Polish Con 2017, held in Chicago (where Lake Shore Drive is- fun fact, Oprah Winfrey used to live on Lake Shore Drive). And it’s…meh. I mean, it’s okay, but I… Read More Try Another Thursday- Different Dimension Lake Shore Dr
