Enchanted Polish - Magical Mystery Tour

Hey guys,

Okay so by now my love for Enchanted Polish is probably evident I was so lucky to get my hands on the polishes I did, a big thanks to NPC for that.

EP does such amazing multichromes with a holo sparkle to them. This one was absolutely did not disappoint. This was one coat over black. It's actually pretty similar to Across the Universe except this one is much more teal than blue.

Here is Magical Mystery Tour underwater to show the multichrome.

OPI James Bond Swatches

Hey guys,

So for some reason it took me FOREVER to really get my act in gear with OPI's James Bond Holiday collection. So long that I actually had to enlist help from Melissa who lives in a different province. Fortunately her search was fruitful and she managed to find 3 of the polishes I was looking for, and at a spectacular price as well. Then I came across the other one I wanted on a random trip, for not a spectacular price.

Anyways without further adieu here are my James Bond swatches!

Deborah Lippmann - Sweet Dreams

Hey Guys,

So a few weeks ago NPC announced that they would no longer be carrying Deborah Lippmann due to their distributor no longer carrying it so as a result almost ALL of their stock of DL polishes went on sale. Initially I didn't really read the e-mail and decided to pass seeing as I was on a low-buy and I always figured DL polishes were more hype then anything. Well once Miss Melissa alerted me to the fact that this would likely be my last chance to get my hands on them obviously I caved and bought WAY too many. 

Here is the first of my moment of weakness. This was three coats of this bright pink flakie. I had no problems with application or removal.

Nail Pattern Boldness - Oodiful

Hey guys,

Today I have my second NPB polish for you guys. This beauty is inspired by Oods! If you don't know what an Ood is I guess you should probably click here. There, all caught up? Excellent. So yes semi-obscure Doctor Who reference polishes? Yup yes please. Don't get me wrong I love all the TARDIS themed polishes and yes given the chance I will BUY ALL THE TARDIS POLISHES!! But it's always cool when indie makers mix it up.

This polish really is Oodiful, it's a grey crelly with pink and white glitter. This was a breeze to apply I used three coats for good measure but two probably would have been fine.

I should probably mention you can find Nail Pattern Boldness on etsy.

Nail Pattern Boldness - Slow Invasion

Hey guys,

Yay for Indies! Yay for Doctor Who! Did anyone watch the Finale a couple weeks ago! Now we only have to wait for November 23 for the 50th Anniversary!!!

Today we have a brand that is new to me, and I am SO happy! I ordered 2 polishes and a bottle of Glitter Food which arrived broken (my first polish casualty!) that being said all it took was an e-mail and some FANTASTIC customer service and a new bottle was dispatched right away.

This was 3 coats of this amazing square glitter packed jelly. I had to do some fishing for the bigger glitters but overall had no problems with formula. Plus I love the square glitter and the reference to the Doctor Who episode the Slow Invasion. Amazing.

Avon - Flash

Hey guys,

Today I have the LAST Mirror Shine to show you, I'm actually pretty excited to have these OUT of my drafts. As they've been sitting there for too long. I don't have a whole lot to talk about here so looks like this will be a short and sweet post, good for a Sunday.

This one is a silvery-champagne same careful 2 coat application just like the other ones.

Avon Mirror Shine - Flash

Avon - Blast

Hey guys,

So just as a quick heads up I'm going through some intense family stuff right now so be prepared for a interruption in blog posts. I don't foresee any problems but there is a chance that the blog may have to go on the back burner. I'll disclose a bit more later but for now that's all I'm going to say.

Today I have another Mirror Shine polish from Avon. Formula on this one was the same as the others easy application as long as you're aware of brush strokes. These polishes apply great and most all of them could almost be one coaters but I always do two coats for good measure.

Avon Mirror Shine - Blast

Avon - Beam

Hey guys,

Yup more from the Vault today. You've seen a few of these Mirror Shine polishes by now, and I have a couple more for you in the coming days. I actually forgot how pretty this polish was, I never really wore this when I initially bought it like 100 years ago.

Not much to say here, two coats, careful application due to brush strokes. Your typical foil.

Sally Hansen Swatch Spam

Hey guys,

So I'm going to try to clear out some old back log so that these don't wind up getting buried for too long. So for a couple days bare with me with some old & musty back log posts so I can move on to new stuff! Yay!

This post is comprised of Christmas presents I got at Christmas (see what I mean when I say old and musty??) Each of these was given to me by one of my lovely co workers.

Zoya - Kimber

Hey guys,

We have another Pink Wednesday! Actually I'm running low on my pinks in my back log so no guarantee next Wednesday will be pink but I'm sure you can all live with that.
Today I have a super fun pink Zoya for you! This was from last Summer's Surf collection (I'm only missing one now, I really LOVED this collection). The formula on this was a bit streaky. I can live with 3 coats though considering how gorgeous this is.

May Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

So I finally have my May Julep Maven box to show you guys! This was actually the first month that I've seriously considered skipping the colours were mostly stuff I already had and I'm not a big lipstick wearer. In the end curiosity got the best of me and I couldn't say no. I didn't get any add-ons this month though.

This time around I went with the Boho Glam box.

Avon - Romance

Hey guys,

So those of you who know me personally know how much of a planner I am, (which seems kind of weird sometimes) but I LOVE organization (unless you see my room, that doesn't count).
I love spreadsheets, alphabetization, and labels. So in an effort to buy less polish I am making a sincere effort to swatch and WEAR (the wearing is the big part) all my untried which aren't out of control right now, they're sitting somewhere around 20. Normally I would just swatch each polish in a night and called it a day, untried are no longer untried.

Then I run into the problem of having all these polishes that I haven't actually worn, they've only been swatched, which is silly. My other dilemma comes with sitting staring at my pile and trying to decide which polish to wear next, this for me is sometimes a long drawn out decision.

So what did I do? I made a schedule. I mapped out exactly when I was going to wear each polish. I have this in a spreadsheet and in a calander and even in reminders in my phone so I know exactly what comes next.

Extreme? Maybe, but it makes me feel better

That was kinda lengthy sorry. Today I have a random polish gifted to me by my bestie Nicole. It's a frosty mauve from Avon, aside from having to be careful about brushstrokes I had no problems formula wise and the brush on these polishes is fantastic. This was 2 coats.

OPI Skittles

Hey guys,

So we're going to need a bigger boat. Okay I mean helmer. Not that my helmer is FULL, but it's getting to the point of me constantly shuffling polishes around to make everything fit. My OPI is spilling into my CG drawer, my indie drawer is full, my "randoms" drawer is full. Yup. Time for a second. This is so bad. When I got my helmer I was all OMG I have so much room. Well wtf? Do I think polish is like gas and will expand to fit it's container? And I just have to keep buying until it's full? I don't know but long story short is my OCD can't live this way. Looks like a trip to Ikea is in order >.<

Anyways here's just a random fun skittles manicure. I absolutely love the way these polishes fit together. This also reminds me I need to re-swatch Polka.com

For this I used

OPI - Polka.dom

OPI - Casino Royale

OPI - I Saw, U Saw, We Saw, Warsaw

OPI - OPI... Eurso Euro

OPI - Vant To Bite My Neck?

Rainbow Honey - Oni

Hey guys,

So today I have the last of my Rainbow Honey's and yes by this time I am DYING to place another order. I'm trying to be strong though, low-buy and everything. I'm also trying to tell myself I'm saving myself for a big China Glaze haul and the Dollish Polish restock next week. Here's hoping I can be strong.

This is the last polish from The Yokai collection. This could very well be THE perfect fall colour. I really love brown polishes, I find they really like my skintone. This one was no exception. This was 2 coats.
