China Glaze: Seahorsin' Around

Good evening readers! Today I have for you a polish from the China Glaze Sea Goddess collection: Seahorsin' Around. This is an amazing blue texture polish. The blue textures seem to be my favorite. This polish reminds me of the blue texture from the Mariah Carey collection! 

As usual, all photos are taken with my phone using a desk lamp as lighting. 

And I'm super excited, I just got an Olloclip for my phone and so I've included a macro of the polish. So preeeeetty! 

Seahorsin' Around was super easy to work with and covered in 2 coats. 

Thanks for reading! 

Back after a LOOOONG hiatus!

Whew!  How have you all been?? Sorry there hasn't been anything new for so long. I've been moving and had a bit of an accident with the pinky finger of my swatching hand. 

I decided to take a break from blogging for awhile and do other things. Unfortunately, during that time I managed to badly injure my pinky nail to the point that the entire nail just fell off. It hurt and looks terrible. I can't even include it in pictures at the moment. :( Maybe someday I can but that'll be a long way off. 

I'm kind of just getting my feet wet for now so today I just have a simple nail gradient I did. I used China Glaze What A Pansy and Essie First Timer for my colors. Just something basic to get back in the game with! 

I'm sorry for how wonky my nails are. I made the mistake of getting acrylics a few months back and they're still recovering. 

I'll be back with more soon! Thanks for reading and have a good day!

Illamasqua: Mottle

Good evening guys! I'm back with another quick post. Today's nails are Illamasqua Mottle, a cute speckled green! I love this color because it makes me think of mint chip ice cream. 

 

What do you think? Want some ice cream now? I know I sure do! That's all for the night. Thanks for stopping by!

Essence: Miss Universe

Hey guys! How have you all been? Good I hope. I've been well! Sorry for the delay in posting. I just have a quick one here for you today. 

I picked this up at Ulta the other day. It's a new color that hasn't been there before and it caught my eye! It's Miss Universe by Essence. A dark blue with blue and green shimmers. 

I like this color quite a bit and for one $1.99 it's a definite win!

OPI Liquid Sand: Alcatraz...Rocks

Good morning everyone! I have a short but gorgeous post for you today. I've been avoiding Ulta because I'm trying to save money for a Vacation coming up so I haven't had a chance to check out a lot of the new collections. One polish I kept hearing about was the new Liquid Sand polish from the San Francisco collection by OPI, Alcatraz...Rocks. 

I accidentally found one. It was hiding with The Bond Girls collection. I thought I had just written off Vesper too soon! Anyway, I looked at it and it was love at first sight. Alcatraz...Rocks is a stunning dark grey/purple base and tons of little tiny glitters in a ton of colors. It's just fantastic! 

And then a blurryish (my camera just wanted to focus. Haha I couldn't get it to go blurry!) one to highlight the sparkle. 

I see green and purple and gold in there and more colors show up in person. Out of all the texture polishes out right now, this ranks as one of my favorites. I did not put any topcoat on, but from the other blogger pictures I've seen, it's just as amazing with a couple coats. 

I would definitely recommend picking this up if you like the textured polish look!

KBShimmer: Blinded By The Bright

Hello all! This post has been a long time coming. I should have gotten to it sooner but I didn't. Oh well! I have a KBShimmer polish for you today. I love KBShimmer. They are one of my favorite indie brands. Today's polish is Blinded By The Bright, a bright (imagine that) neon yellow with gorgeous red and green hex glitter.

I just love this polish and have worn it multiple time since taking these pictures. All photos are in natural lamp light with a coat of Seche Vite on top. 

There you go! Amazing, right?? I'm so glad I picked this up. It's just a beauty. 

The entire collections can be purchased from KBShimmer's web site here. 

NOTD Pure Ice: Temptress

Hello! Good afternoon. I hope everyone's having a good week!

Today I have just a quick polish for you. I'm wearing Pure Ice Temptress. It's suppose to be one of their Velour polishes that dry to a matte finish but this one ends up really sparkly anyway. I wanted to take advantage of the pretty sparkle so I added topcoat. My photo is with one coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top. 

Temptress is a deep royal purple with a gold and blue shimmer. The gold is much more obvious in person. I'm sorry for my cuticles. They are terrible. I picked this polish up at Walmart. 

That's all I've got for today! Thanks for tuning in. ^_^
