Beautifully Disney - Pop Of Minnie Set

Hey guys,

I'm really sorry for going MIA but I've had some family stuff going on behind the scenes here and life has been just a little bit crazy so I can't promise much this month. I'll try to keep you posted. However if I suddenly vanish into the ether a bit please forgive me as there is just a lot of stuff going on.

Today I have another of the discontinued Beautifully Disney mini sets for you. I also got this one while I was in Disney World with my cousin. This wasn't my favourite of the ones I bought but if greens and oranges are your thing this may be for you.

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.
Anyways for polish swatches click for more after the jump

Julep - Joni - November Birthstone

Hey guys,

So I am thinking of moving to a 3 post a week schedule. Life is just getting busier and I hate knowing that I skipped a day. I'm hoping that a Mon-Wed-Sat/Sun post may take some of the pressure off. What do you guys think?

Today I have Julep's November birthstone to show you guys. I'm not a huge fan of orange polishes but I actually quite liked this one. The November birthstone is Citrine, this was two coats.

Supernatural Lacquer - Charlie

Hey guys,

Alright I am so DONE with being sick. All day I have been flaked out on the couch snuggled up. It's getting old. The worst part is I know I need to get up and go to work tomorrow. Blech.

Tonight on the blog I have a new Supernatural Lacquer to show you guys. This is from their Ladies of Supernatural collection. I got quite a few compliments on this periwinkle blue crelly.
 This was three coats.

Dollish Polish - Can I Touch Your Mango

Hey guys,

So last night I went over to a friends house and we just stayed up talking way later than expected. So then I went home and proceeded to watch the latest episode of Outlander (OMG! Right?!) so of course it was around 3 am by the time I finally went to bed. Well needless to say this morning when I was SUPPOSED to wake up early, well that didn't happen. No regrets though.

Today I have the Mortal Instruments inspired glitter topper. I won't lie I can't remember this line for the life of me. That may be a sign I should probably read/watch it again. Maybe after I finish my massive book list.

Inspired by one of the best pick-up lines ever, Can I Touch Your Mango is sure to leave you craving a can of tomato soup. It's made up of a complete cornucopia of peach, mango, and coral glitters with a splash of green to make one mango-reffic glitterbomb topper!

While I don't exactly dislike this, I'm not a huge fan of this colour combination.
This was two coats over yellow

Nailtini - Mango Rita

Hey guys,

So I can be in denial all I want, I'm getting sick. Sore throat, runny nose and it feels like my head has been stuffed with cotton balls. Regardless I will keep telling myself I am not getting sick. Actually as soon as I write this I'm going to take a hot bath.

Today I have a polish that came from my best friend Nicole. She received it in a subscription box that you can see here. This is a brand I had heard of but never tried. They actually have a subscription box of their own. I am in love with this polish it's a peach shimmer that has a bunch of subtle holo micro glitters mixed in.
Great application too. This was two 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.

Julep - Kyla

Hey guys,

So I had a rather chaotic weekend, I flew out to my cousins wedding which was beautiful. Then today when I went to go home after sitting at the airport for several hours my flight got cancelled. So now I'm going to be out of town a little longer than initially expected. Oh well. I'm going to try and keep posting. 

Today I have a really pretty jelly with iridescent orange glitter. This is a great summer colour if you can pull off orange. This is one coat over Essie Tart Deco.

Enchanted Manicure

Hey guys,

So after already checking my local Michael's store I had to drive about 25 minutes into the city to a different Michaels to try and find wooden plaques and stryofoam eggs. This is my life as a crafter.

Mixing it up today I have my last Disney manicure that I had in my drafts to show you guys, I've been sitting on this for a while, I'm not exactly sure why since it's not like I hate this at all. I love the movie Enchanted. It is probably one of my top 10 (at least top 15) favourite Disney movies, and contrary to what everyone is saying about Frozen it was totally the first Disney movie that called bullshit on the love at first sight thing. Plus Patrick Dempsey and James Marsden. So here we have Giselle (her eyes are a tad close together but whatever), her dress, the posioned apple, and the Prince's poufy sleeves.

Enchanted!

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.

Zoya - Dhara

Hey guys,

I hope everyone is having a great Saturday so far, I am currently spending this beautiful day in my basement keeping my dog company while our furnace ducts are cleaned and having a mini Melissa & Joey marathon.
Also last night while I was taking my sandal off my thumbnail on my left hand totally bent forward, of course I panicked. Weirdly enough there is a big crack in it but the nail is still totally intact. So I reinforced it with a teabag and crazy glue. Hopefully that will work for long enough until it grows out a bit.

I have another Pixiedust to show you guys. This is a tangerine textured polish. Perfect for summer. Doesn't it remind you of a fresh orange? This was a bit on the more sheer side for a Pixiedust. Nice application though, this is 3 coats.

Dollish Polish - I Survived The Fire Swamp

Hey guys,

So I really needed an extra day to get over my awesome weekend, I totally had post vacation blues today. I'm sure I was not the only one in that boat. On a different note has anyone seen The Way Way Back? I watched it last night while I was trying (or not trying) to fall asleep and I LOVED it. I've been telling everyone about it today, I may be a little obsessed.

In other news all day Dollish Polish has been revealing their new Fandom collection that is set to debut on the 30th. I want them all. Which makes NO sense because I am not in all the Fandoms (mostly just The Walking Dead so far, I am a card carrying member of the rest of them) but lets be real. NEED. I need them all.

Keeping in the theme of Dollish Polish I thought I would show you another from the Princess Bride collection. Of course this reminds me that I need to watch that movie. This is a orange-red jelly shimmer with orange glitter. Initially I had this over red, but then decided to swatch it over Julep - Karen which is a peach colour. I like this much better. This is two coats.

April Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

So I was super stoked when the reveal for the April box was released. The box was chock full of bright vivid colours, which I love. There was actually a lot of fantastic unique (to me anyways) colours in this box, so after a short battle with the rational half of my brain the compulsive half decided this month was an upgrade month. The colour descriptions are a bit interesting but that is neither here nor there. Oh man was I happy I went for the upgrade, click for more after the jump.

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.

Anyways click for more after the jump.

Zoya - Beatrix

Hey guys,

I am so excited for the weekend! That week was a weird mix of flying by and crawling. Next weekend my cousin is in town and I can't wait, it is going to be a crazy weekend full of Disney movies, nail painting and a trip to West Edmonton Mall. I can't wait.

So a few weeks ago I was staring at my Zoya drawer and I decided I needed more Zoya's since I love them. So I splurged a bit and ordered about 11-ish I decided to grab this orange PixieDust from the summer collection of PixieDusts. This is a bright tangerine orange. It had a little bit of sheerness to it, if you look closely you can see some VNL. This was two coats.

Julep - Marjorie

Hey guys,

So let's recover from yesterday's St. Patrick's day disaster with a good old swatch! Although I'm really contemplating redoing a pond manicure soon. THEY JUST LOOK SO COOL! Man I really wish I could dazzle you guys with some great story today, but I really have nothing. This will be short and sweet I guess.

So this is a great tangerine orange shimmer polish. Of course this was pre-lightbox so my skintone is WHACK.
This applied great in 2 coats.
