Cirque - Kabocha

Hey guys,

So sad news, well not really sad but I went to Superstore yesterday on the suggestion that the NOPI Selena polishes may be hiding out there. No dice that being said I now know what a nail bar is. The hunt continues. I will find them. It's become an obsession.

So here's a polish I meant to post way back in October but well it clearly fell to the wayside.

This is 

Cirque - Kabocha

It's glow in the dark too except I found the glow to be a bit weak so all pictures I took didn't turn out so you'll just have to take my word for it. This is a bit sheer so it takes about 3 coats to get it mostly opaque. Could be fun for layer though. We can add that to my to do list.

My Top 10 of 2012

Hey guys,

So it took me a while to narrow down my top 10 because over the past year I have gone from owning about 20 polishes to close to 350 (I know that's small beans compared to most of the bloggers out there.) 

These are in no particular order. (click the name to go to the original post)

A England - Ascalon

Cirque - Dark Horse

 

Cult Nails - Flushed (swatch post coming soon)

 

Cult Nails - Charming (swatch post coming soon)

 

China Glaze - Ruby Pumps

 

A England - Tristam

OPI - DS Magic

OPI - I'm Not Really A Waitress

Zoya - Julieanne

 Sephora by OPI - Studs & Stilettos

So we can see no creme's made the list, that wasn't intentional clearly nothing blew me away enough to make my list. I think it'll be interesting to see this time next year if any of these are still on my list. Or if the same trends remain.

 

8 Days of Halloween - Day 2 - Black/Orange Crackle

Hey guys,

So for today's Halloween mani I have something just a bit more simple but still nice and festive.

I'm so in love with glow in the dark polishes right now and the glow under the crackle looks super cool.

The Cirque polish doesn't glow quite as bright as some of the other glow polishes I have but it's the perfect festive colour.

For this I used

Cirque - Kabocha

China Glaze - Black Mesh

8 Days of Halloween - Day 1 - Jack - o - Lantern

Hey guys,

So the plan is for the next 8 days (Holy crap Halloween is in 8 days??!!! I feel like I have totally dropped the ball this year. I need to horror movie it up this weekend) Give you guys a Halloween mani every day. I promise this is going to happen!

I love halloween!!

This is my Jack-o-lantern Mani.

It didn't turn out quite like I wanted but I still like it.

For this I used.

Essie - Fear Or Desire (orange base)

Cirque - Kabocha (orange glow in the dark)

Orly Instant Artist - Jet Black

Orly Instant Artist - Crisp White

Art Club - Neon Yellow

Cirque - Epoch

Hey guys,

So I would totally call this long weekend a success, ran some errands, spent time with my bestie, caught up on my PVR, and also got a good way through a couple of my favourite shows.
 I have another Cirque polish for you guys today. I can't wait until I can put another order in with them, I'm addicted.

This is

Cirque - Epoch

This is a teal/purple duochrome except of course the purple only comes out when the moon is at exactly the right angle in the nights sky... so in other words just the right light. It seemed to be nice and visible under the fluorescent lights at work but of course that doesn't help me when I don't have my camera. 

Cirque - Dark Horse

Hey guys,

So welcome to October. Fall seriously is my favourite season. Hello vampy colours and sweaters. My dad likes to say he hates fall because it means winter is coming. pffft BRING ON WINTER... Okay maybe not just yet. But with winter comes my birthday! Yay!

Moving on so about two weeks ago I got some Cirque nail mail! This is my first order from Cirque but I'm pretty certain it won't be my last! I only ordered 3 polishes but I'm trying to be good so I don't feel guilty when I order all of the A England Gothic Beauties. 

This is

Cirque - Dark Horse

I didn't realized when I ordered Dark Horse that it was just a glitter. But this is awesome 2 coats and it was pretty much fully opaque. So pretty I got so many compliments on this one at work.
