Essie Seen on the Scene was from their 2016 Shimmer collection. This is kind of a mid toned warmer pink. I don’t have a lot of Essie polishes, they’ve just never really floated my boat, but this was okay. I did 2 coats, and the formula was fine. I thought it might be a… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Essie Seen on the Scene

Okay, I was born in the ’70s, and one of my favorite songs from waaaaaaay back was the song Hotline by the Sylvers. My cousin and I even made up a dance to it (I remember like 2 moves, it was a loooong time ago). This is Fair Maiden Polish Hotline Bling. I saw this… Read More Try Another Thursday- Fair Maiden Polish Hotline Bling
Color4nails has some great sales, and they had a bunch of polishes on sale, and some stamping stuff too.

LOL Here’s… Read More Color 4 Nails Sale Haul
Today’s polish is Native War Paints No Tricks Here. This was an April Fool’s Day polish in 2016, that they brought back by popular demand in 2017. It’s described as a medium blue with a red/orange shimmer. Here’s a close-up of the shimmer- I see maybe more pink than orange or red. It’s… Read More Try it Tuesday- Native War Paints No Tricks Here
Cream polishes scare me, and pastel creams especially! I just never seem to get them right. One of my all-time most hated polishes is China Glaze’s Refresh-mint, a light mint cream. But this light mint cream is not bad! I didn’t have any trouble with it, though I did end up doing 3 coats for… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI That’s Hula-rious

I don’t feel like Glitter Daze gets talked about a lot in the polish community- they have a business Facebook page, but not a fan page, they don’t participate in Polish Pickup (not yet, we can hope), but they do participate in “boxes” once in awhile, and they did this polish, Shibazakura Hill for the… Read More Try it Tuesday- Glitter Daze Shibazakura Hill
