Shark Week 2015!

Hey guys,

So every year I do a shark week manicure, you've seen them before. Type Shark Week into the search bar to the right to see past years.

Well it's been a long while since I'd done any kind of nail art, and sadly apparently I suck at it now, or maybe I was just rushing things because I was hungry. Anyways this was inspired by a picture I saw on instagram. Except the one on instagram is so much better.
My sharks look more like sucker fish... Or tape worms.

As the boyfriend said "everything but their mouths is good" yeah I get it but at that point I was a tad too lazy to fix anything so 2015 we have some really shitty shark nail art.

Ugh  it's upsetting.

I used A England - Tristam as a base. It's probably the best part

Lacquer Lust - Pearl - June Birthstone

Hey guys,

So finally after a weekend of disgustingly hot weather we finally had some rain and it was glorious. 

Today I have the June Lacquer Lust birthstone to show you guys. I'm happy to have more of these to show you after having to skip May. 
This was a super light lilac/grey holo. very much coloured the same as a Pearl. Super pretty. A rather subtle holo but still beautiful.
This was two coats.

Butter London - No More Waity, Katie

Hey guys,

So like many people I too am obsessed with the Royal Family. Especially Kate. She's flawless and I'm pretty sure the most down to earth Princess since Diana herself. Anyways enough gushing. So I bought this from NPC with their exclusives deal. I love the grey and purple mix. I actually thought I had lost this polish before swatching it but turns out it had just rolled under an armchair. Pfewf
Some people talked about how the purple glitter wasn't prominent enough but I was happy with it.
This was 2 coats

February Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

Today I have my February Julep box to show you. Initially when this month's window popped up I had intended to skip this months box well somehow that turned into me taking the box AND adding three add-ons. Let me tell you I'm sure happy I did, this month's box was CHOCK full of freebies.
Along with my 6 polishes I ordered I got 2 surprise polishes (one not pictured since I had it already), the special Valentines day polish, and 5 extra bottles of the Valentines day polish to give to friends.

January Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

Today I have my January maven box to show you. This months theme was Chrysalis which means change. There are some changes to the maven program this year, they're going to really start focusing on beauty products as much as polish instead of polish with a side of beauty products. We'll see how this goes.

A England - Virgin Queen

Hey guys,

So today was the worst, my body is not happy with the return to reality. Although I came home from work to find a bunch of packages of stuff I had ordered from Boxing day sales so bonus! It's like Christmas the Sequel.

Today I have another A England for you, this is a frosty grey/champagne. What can I say great application here. This was two coats.

November Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,
 
So remember how last month I talked about how long it took for my box to get to me. Well this month was the exact opposite, I usually get my Julep boxes about mid month but this month my box arrived within days of me getting the shipping confirmation. All in all I was super impressed! If Julep is turning over a new leaf with their shipping department then I know a LOT of people will be happy.
 
I loved this month's box such great colours.

Zoya - Caitlin

Hey guys,

So fun little fact about me I have been thinking a lot about lately and that was the fact that my Dad named me after a Miami Vice character. If that isn't just the classiest thing you've ever heard I don't know what is.

Anyways I don't know why it took me so long to buy this polish since it is my namesake. I wish I had gotten it sooner. This is a fantastic mellow, grey-purple lilacy-mauve colour. With fantastic application.
This is two coats.

OPI - Pirates of the Caribbean Minis

Hey guys,

So while I was going through my spreadsheet and adding swatch links I noticed a bunch oh polishes that never got swatched. What surprised me most was the Pirates of the Caribbean minis, I'd had these since I started my blog and have used them in several different manis. Apparently I had never swatched them individually though. I love this collection so I'm excited to finally show you.

Dollish Polish - One Choice

Hey guys,

So I don't know about you guys but I had a busy Sunday in my pjs. Today I started linking the polishes in my Stash spreadsheet with their swatch post. Well of course this uncovered a bunch of polishes I always thought I had swatched but apparently never did (usually polishes I use in nail art, or just ones that got put on the back burner by accident) So I had a big OPI swatchathon, and I'm sure there will be more in the future.

Today's polish is inspired by Divergent, now I LOVED Divergent (the novel) like blew through it in a day loved it. I liked the movie even though I think Shailene Woodley is a nutball, but come on Theo James is a BABE. That being said I wasn't really a fan of the rest of the books. But anyways. I love me a white crelly.

Inspired by the 5 factions, this white crelly has the 5 colors to represent each faction, Abnegation, Candor, Erudite, Amity, and Dauntless.

This was 3 coats.

Dollish Polish - I Want To Believe

Hey guys,

So like most nights I had really grand plans for exactly what was going to happen tonight, I was going to finish my quilt, finish one or two dragon eggs, shampoo the basement carpet, along with tidying and vacuuming the basement. Wellllll... I finished my quilt, and shampooed part of the carpet so that's better than nothing right?

Tonight I have a beautiful, haunting? grey polish. Honestly I want to watch The X Files... but I'm a huge chicken. I but I swear I want to. I need an X Files buddy.

Inspired by Mulder and his desire to learn the truth, finally, a polish that brings to mind all the skin-crawling moments that the X Files has given us! This blue-tone gray crelly with blue/green flash is chunk full of rainbow micro flakes, and green and blue micro glitters and shreds.

I love this, this was two coats

Dollish Polish - You Know Nothing Jon Snow

Hey guys,

So I just finished baking 72 cupcakes, doing all the dishes, and vacuuming the basement. This is the first time I have sat down in 5 hours. And I'm running on 1 cup of coffee and frosting. In short this may be what dying feels like. Please remind me how I get myself into situations like agreeing to make a crap ton of cupcakes for a work bake sale. I have my tattoo appointment tomorrow so hopefully I can pawn some off on my poor artist.

So I've been waiting for a while to kick this collection off! When Dollish Polish announced they were teaming up with Accio Lacquer to create the Ultimate Fandom collection I immediately knew I was screwed since I needed all of them, and I belong to every single Fandom except one (we'll talk about that when we get there) So lets kick this off the the Game of Thrones inspired polish. This isn't the first GoT polish DP has released, you can search my Dollish Polish archive for Cold Winds are Rising, but this is awesome.

Inspired by Jon Snow and the Nights Watch, this winter white cream is loaded with silver/white micro flakes, blue/green iridescent glitters and black micro glitters.

I love this, this is three coats.

Different Dimension - Excelsior!

Hey guys,

Yay it's Friday! I don't know about you guys but I have a super busy weekend ahead of me, Forced farm labour tomorrow, and then Corporate Challenge stuff on Sunday. Plus I have been roped into a quasi-blind double date tonight (shoot me please) so I have a feeling this weekend is going to fly by. I know it's a long weekend for all my South of the border neighbors out there. Lucky.

Today I have the last holo from Different Dimension to show you guys, I have wanted this one for a while. Mostly because it reminds me of Silver Linings Playbook. This is a white/grey holo that also has a bit of a pink sheen to it in the light. This is three coats.

This is
Different Dimension - Excelsior!






Also because it was requested here is a picture of Apollo!

Nicole by OPI - Goodbye Shoes

Hey guys

So sorry for the lack of post yesterday I was having an awful night and just couldn't bring myself to type up a really half assed post. Although I have decided starting today things are going to get better, no more mopey crummy days. Here's to good times. I also got my hair cut today! Exciting! I decided I needed to seriously lose some length for summer.

So a couple months back I bought a couple of the NOPI Carrie Underwood polishes, I already posted Carrie'd Away. so this is the other one I picked up. This is a blue-grey creme that is quite mellow and subdued. Nothing too special here, nice formula - 2 coats.
