Supernatural Lacquer - Solstice Festival Trio

Hey guys,

Today I have the first of three Christmas trios from Supernatual Lacquer,
Yeah I get these are a bit late.

Stef totally out did herself this Christmas offering up 9 polishes this holiday season. This particular trio was based upon the Winter Solstice. Application on all these was great.

Supernatural Lacquer - The Four Horsemen Collection

Hey guys,

Soooo yeah it's been a while. I'm still around not dead. Just a little bit under motivated to post.
That being said today I have a whole magnetic collection from Supernatural Lacquer to show you guys.

This collection was inspired by the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse. These were released last Halloween.
Application on these was really nice. I did find I had to hunt for a good magnet, the ones provided with other magnetic polishes I own didn't seem to want to do much. So it was a old Montreal Canadiens jersey magnet I pulled off the fridge.

December Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

So since December is my birthday month and I was into this month's box I decided to treat myself and use my Jules for a full polish upgrade (ALL THE POLISH) and then a couple add ons of their new Whipped Lip mousses, and a cuticle oil which I love.

Nicole by OPI - Mer-Maid For Each Other

Hey guys,

So this was a mini I got from my bestie Nicole, but it came without a name, however by doing some research I have discovered it to be Mer-Maid for Each Other. Which is close to Just Spotted the Lizard by OPI but this one is more blue/green/gold then green/gold.

This one was very pretty and quite nice to apply. This was three coats.

OPI - Rollin' In Cashmere Gwen Stefani Set

Hey guys,

So I think by now we can all agree that I have completely dropped the ball on this year as far as timely posting goes. For instance, I got this for CHRISTMAS from my nail polish BFF. Swatched and wore it forever ago and am just NOW getting around to posting it. Ugh lifes priorities.

This is the Rollin in Cashmere set from OPI.

Julep - Tatiana

Hey guys,

So this post as been sitting in my drafts forever so time to clear it out.

This is pretty much a fall colour, and seems like it would be perfect for an October manicure so of course I had swatched it in February or something ridiculous like that.
Pretty nice, maybe too orangey for me. However this may be your cup of tea.
This was two coats.

Esmaltes Da Kelly - Rapunzel

Hey guys,

Wooo two days in a row.

I really feel like this polish needs no real introduction. THE COLOUR, THE SPARKLE - Oh man. However I don't know how much I would really attribute this polish with Rapunzel.... why is it not Purple? or even gold like her hair. I don't know this colour seems way more Jasmine to me... Oh well thats really the only negative point I have about this.

This one is a teal holo glitter in a teal jelly base. And I LOVE how sparkly this one way.
This was three coats for build up.

Esmaltes Da Kelly - Belle

Hey guys,

So it really just occured to me I don't know what is going to happen once I get through all the backlog I have on here, Hopefully I can go through and reswatch a bunch of old polishes that need it, or posts will just dip to when I have something to post. I really hope that doesn't wind up being the case, I love my blog and I love doing my nails. I just feel like this is the middle child who just gets left to their own devices.

Anyways Today I'm going to show you some polish from a brand that is new to me, but I ordered before my Disney World trip because obviously DISNEY.
These are a I BELIEVE Brazilian indie brand. Please correct me if I'm wrong. So I ordered four so hopefully barring any forces of nature I will have those four to show you this week.

First up is Belle. a gold, holo GLITTERBOMB. Yep full on glitter. Gold isn't usually my colour but I'm a major sucker for Belle. I quite liked this one.
This was three coats. Pretty easy application.

Beautifully Disney - Tangled Web Set

Hey guys,

So when I was in Disney World in February I picked up three different nail polish sets, basically any one I could get my hands on. Since picking them up they have since discontinued the beauty line which crushes me since Disney and Nail polishes are two of my favourite things. And now you can only get them for $$$ on ebay. Soul crushing.

This is the first of the three sets I have to show you. The villain inspired sets and you guys know how I feel about Villains
The Tangled Web set.

OPI - DS Mystery

Hey guys,

Oh OPI Designer Series, I had almost forgotten the love affair I have with you. I love the DS polish line, however they are just so flippin' expensive. So when I saw this puppy on sale at NPC I had to snag it. It could have been the grossest color ever. It was DS so it was going in my shopping cart.

However, it wasn't gross it was a dark midnight purple full of gold glitter micro flakes. And I LOVED it. Plus it makes me want to sing Sarah McLachlan's Building A Mystery. Beautiful application too.
This is two coats.

October Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

Happy Halloween!! I hope everyone is having a spooky day!
Today I have my October Julep Maven box to show you guys. Honestly I didn't think I was going to get my box this month it just showed up earlier this week WAY later than normal. Hopefully this doesn't become a thing because I'm impatient and all that jazz. This month was full of dark vampy colours, last October I got the full collection but this year I just went with normal box selections.

LVX - Caviar

Hey guys,

So tonight I am dying, okay not literally but I am so out of shape and I had a really intense lesson tonight (serves me right for deciding to ride in the same lesson as my in-shape friend Jill) and every part of my body hurts, my lungs are burning like they did in grade 9 gym class when they made us run laps. It's embarrassing how out of shape I am.

Tonight I have a polish from a brand I've never seen before. This also came from Nicole from a subscription box. Now I know this polish looks kind of gritty in the pictures but this is without a topcoat. I used this as a base for a galaxy manicure so I didn't put top coat on for the pictures. I should have, the gold glitter in this just made it ever so slightly bumpy. A single coat of SV would have fixed this.
This was two coats.

Cult Nails - Swanbourne

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of post yesterday, I was at the farm helping move 300 bales of hay. So it was a busy day, and amazingly I managed to make out with only cracking the very tip off of one nail. So I'd say that is a success overall.

Today I have a polish for you that Nicole got from a subscription box. A long time ago I was quite a fan of Cult Nails but after a bit of a snarky comment from the owner I quickly fell out of love, and haven't bought any of her polishes since then. Anyways this was a polish I had always wanted anyways so talk about Serendipity that it would one day show up in my collection by surprise.
This is a dark brown jam packed with gold shimmer. Application was okay, it was a weird combination of runny and goopy. This was two coats.

Dollish Polish - The Status Is NOT Quo

Hey guys,

Okay so now we get back to the Dollish Polish Ultimate Fandom Part Deux collection. This was the bonus polish in the collection, bonus as in when you bought the whole set this one came free. You could still buy it separately. This one was inspired by Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, what Joss Whedon and friends put out online during the writers strike. If you are a Whedon fan and haven't seen it check it out. I'm usually not one for gold but this one was actually quite nice!

 It's a brand new day, and this is certainly the polish to wear if you are going to rule it! Inspired by Dr. Horrible and his need for change, "The Status is NOT Quo" is a gold shimmer, loaded with gold shreds, flakies, and micro glitters.

This was three coats.

OPI - 50 Years of Style

Hey guys,

So once again I don't have much to say on account of being sick and having a pounding headache. I'm done with being sick seriously. Oh I will say that I'm watching American Ninja Warrior and holy when did Tim Shieff turn into such a fox?

Today I have the next OPI Mustang Mini to show you. This is a gold frost so be careful of brush strokes. Other than that this is a pretty nice gold and actually doesn't clash horribly with my skin tone.
This was two coats.

Supernatural Lacquer - Atropos

Hey guys,

So you know when you come across a new show you've never heard of before then realize all the episodes in the season have aired so you can binge watch the whole thing? Well that just happened to me with Dominion, seriously if Angels are even a little bit your thing check it out. If nothing else I enjoy looking at Christopher Egan.

Today I have another Supernatural Lacquer polish to show you. I think after this one I just have two more to show you. This is a sheer shimmery rose gold. You could definitely layer this over something else for a bit of a different look but this is it strictly on it's own. Like I said this is a bit sheer. This was three coats.

Julep - Alexis

Hey guys,

So it's going to be a busy weekend for me, already I've spent the day painting lawn chairs for a bonfire tonight. I know that may sound kind of weird but really who wouldn't want a lawn chair with their name on it?

Today I have an awesome purple to show you guys, this is a purple and gold duochrome. This is a beautiful colour for fall and application was fantastic this was two coats.

Dollish Polish - I Volunteer As Tribute

Hey guys,

So in vacation mode this is going to be short and sweet since I am headed out the door right away.  Also there is a fly buzzing around my hotel room. It is going to drive me insane.

Today's polish is inspired by the Hunger Games, fantastic movies but even BETTER books.

Inspired by the girl on fire, this black jelly with red, orange, gold flakes, and red, orange, copper & yellow glitters micro and medium hexagons.

This is three coats.
