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
I am not the biggest fan of neutral polishes- I want my nails to be noticed, darn it! LOL, but this is a gorgeous polish. ILNP‘s Dinner Party. I actually won both of their 2017 fall collections last year (so amazing!!!), and this is one I had untried. It’s a pinky beige nude holo- super… Read More Try Another Thursday- ILNP Dinner Party
This Painted Polish polish was a Polish Pickup polish from September 2018, the theme was Horror Movies- this polish was inspired by the movie Zombieland (which I have never watched). But I recently tried Painted Polish and loved the polish (it was Paving Rainbows). This base color is actually close to Paving rainbows, but filled… Read More Try it Tuesday- Painted Polish Zombie Kill of the Week
This polish was one of the leather effect polishes in their Grease Collection from Summer 2018. Soooooo- this is weird. You’re supposed to do 2 coats and it dries to a “leather effect.” Also, you’re not supposed to top coat it to preserve the effect. As you can see in this closeup, it… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI Electrifyin’ Pink
Hella Handmade Creations does a monthly sale (the next date is 11/14-11/21) where you can buy polish from various indie polish makers. It’s similar to Polish Pickup, but in HHC case, each maker picks their own theme, then makes polishes for that theme for several months in a row. August JReine Sweet Snow (inspired by… Read More Nail Mail Hella Holo Customs for August and September
This is a beautiful green polish- when I saw it I had to have it! Which is unusual, as I’m not usually a fan of greens- but that orangy red shimmer really makes it a gorgeous polish! This was from their Winter 2017 collection, and is named after the maker’s step daughter. Here’s a… Read More Try Another Thursday- Different Dimension Alexandria
I’d forgotten I’d ordered these Ethereal Lacquer Halloween polishes, even though shipping was really quick! These are so pretty. L-r Trick, Treat, Witch’s Brew I really like her polishes, can’t wait to try them! Live your life with love in your heart and glitter on your nails!
I’ve seen pictures of and posts about Pipe dream Polishes, and decided I needed a couple. As far as I can tell, they stopped selling polish in 2014, so I stalked destashes! I saw this polish, Queenly, and snapped it up! It’s a rich deep purple with holo. It was easy… Read More Try it Tuesday- Pipedream Polish Queenly
