Aurora - 4 Alarm Fire

Hey guys,

Here is another one from my bestie. This one is actually quite similar to Mighty Mango.
This was from a brand I had never heard of before. Nice application, I definitely wouldn't be opposed to trying more of these.

This was three coats

Sally Hansen - Mighty Mango

Hey guys,

This is a polish that my best friend gave me. You all know I've changed my tune on Sally Hansen from when I started this blog. I really liked the application on this nice coral.

This was two coats.

Morgan Taylor - My Carriage Awaits

Hey guys,

Today I have the next polish in Morgan Taylor's Cinderella collection.
This one was a coral creme, actually I think there may have even been some SUPER subtle shimmer in this one, but I can't remember so we'll just go with a creme polish.
Nice application, this was three coats.

March Julep Maven Box

Hey guys

Today I have the March Julep Maven box to show you guys!
There were a lot of jellies and soft springy colours in this month's collection but I decided to go with this trio, along with their new invisible lip liner, Get In Line, which I HATED. It felt waxy and made my lipstick clump.

Julie G - Sushi For Two

Hey guys,

So this past weekend was Canadian Thanksgiving, and while I didn't really do anything special other than head to karaoke last night. For the most part I had a fantastic weekend and I do not want to go back to work tomorrow. Just more days like this.

Tonight I have the last polish I currently have from Nicole, this one is from a brand I have heard of before but didn't own any of. This one came without a name on it but a little research revealed this coral to be Sushi For Two. Overall just a really nice coral creme. This was two coats.

Zoya - Elodie

Hey guys,

So it's really late so I'm just going to keep this short and sweet and jump right to the point.

So Zoya is hands down my favourite commercial brand (I just went on a bit of a shopping spree so you'll see the fruits of that shortly) So when Nicole got this in a subscription box I was jacked that this was coming my way. This is a nice jelly coral. The rest of the polishes in this collection (Gossip) were perfectly opaque biut this one was fairly sheer, but built up nicely. I love the squishiness of this.
This was three coats.

OPI - Where Did Suzi's Man-Go

Hey guys,

Well lets roll right into another set of OPI minis I have been sitting on for way too long. My bestie got me these after I shoveled her driveway while she was out of town.
This is a gorgeous orangey-tangerine corally colour. I LOVE IT, so summery. Application here was fantastic. This is two coats.

May Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

So a couple months ago Julep announced their crowdfunded campaign for their new Plie wand which they stated would revolutionize the way you apply polish. You could choose several levels if you wanted to donate each with different rewards or incentives. One of the levels was you could pre-pay for your May Julep box. I figured I was going to wind up getting this wand anyways and would likely get my box so that was the level I chose. At first Julep was going to be changing the caps of all their polishes to make them compatible with the wand. This threw people into a tizzy, the idea of changing the caps or having mismatching caps was not their best idea. However they changed the design and made it compatible with the current caps. Good job Julep.

March Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

I have my maven box to show you guys!
This month I got my usual It Girl box but with 3 add ons. I am really loving the Riviera collection. Maybe because it actually reminds me of the French Riviera which is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Or maybe I just love the great spring colors that remind me that "Hey guess what, It's SPRING" (even though as I type this there is still some snow here) It gives me hope.

Sephora X Ariel Collection

Hey guys,

So I have Sephora's Whatchanailcallit set for you today, this is the third set in Sephora's Disney princess collections, the other two were Sephora by OPI but now that Sephora has moved on to their own Formula X or Sephora X thats what these guys are.

Overall I'm not happy with the switch since I had some problems with this set, BUT I did get a refund so I can't complain too much. See more after the jump

China Glaze - Shell-o

Hey guys,

Did I save my favourite jelly for last? OF COURSE I DID.
This coral is BEAUTIFUL. A total biotch to photograph because of how bright it is but THAT being said the formula on this one wasn't bad at all especially compared to come of the other ones. Yes I'm looking at you Isle See You Later.

So as this wraps up Sunsational week and it ran longer than I intended I'll give you a sneak peek of whats up for this week.... A England baby!!!

This was 3 coats. Such a fantastic summer colour!

China Glaze - Itty, Bitty & Gritty

Hey guys,

So I'm currently done with my massive untried pile, and while I am waiting for a handful of new polishes now I'm working SUPER hard not to buy more since I am super stoked about what I have in store for you guys. If you follow me on IG there is a possibility that you may get an odd sneak peek. So far only my girl Melissa knows what I'm up to, and she is pretty excited.

So I really hope to be able to acquire more of these CG Texture polishes because I LOVE them. I picked this one up with my NPC points. 

This is a bright coral polish. I applied very much like Bump & Grind, a little thick but not hard at all to work with. This was two coats.

Gossip Braided Manicure

Hey guys,

So some new things. I ordered a UV/Gel Polish system, not really for me at all. Clearly me using gel polish would just be silly seeing as how often I change my polish. It's more for my family/friends plus I really want to see how it works. I will be blogging about it for sure along with the wear and tear of the manicure... Does it really last 2 full weeks?

Also I would like to curse A England right now. Seriously Adina, I think you are one of the most amazing people in the polish world for coming up with the most amazing nail polish. But you need to stop making so many beautiful polishes all at once my bank account cannot handle it!

This is the first "braided" manicure I've attempted. 
I used three polishes from the Zoya Gossip collection.
Zoya - Lo
Zoya - LC
Zoya - Whitney

Essie Summer Colorblock Manicure

Hey guys,

This weekend was absolutely nuts for me. I'm fairly certain I need another one just to recover. Saturday meant getting up at the crack of dawn (literally) and heading to go volunteer for my work golf tournament. Then heading straight from the golf course to go babysit two of my favorite little ones. Then not going to bed until disgustingly late. Only to have to be waking up again to road trip. It's seriously time for me to go slip into a bit of a coma. 

This is my summer colorblock manicure I did with some new Essie colours I picked up.

For this I used

Essie - Fear Or Desire (Orange)
Essie - Tart Deco (Coral/Peach)
Essie - Cute As A Button (Pink)

Zoya - Mischa

Hey guys,

So today is Day 1 of the horse show but I don't ride until tomorrow so there is a good chance there may not be a post until Sunday night or Monday. Just a heads up

This is another polish from Chelsea's collection. I was in the mood for some Zoya so I picked this one out.

I don't know exactly what it was but I really didn't like this polish, whether it's my skintone or maybe it needs to go over a layer of white. This really wasn't my cup of tea. Or maybe it's because it reminds me of Mischa Barton whom I cannot stand. We'll never quite know for sure.
