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.

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.

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.

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

Julep - Leona - April Birthstone

Hey guys,

So today I have this year's Julep Diamond birthstone honestly this one doesn't seem way different from last years. This one has more of a blue/pink shimmer to it. 

I like this one but for some reason I'm feeling fairly meh about this one. I just feel like it is so similar to last years I just feel like they could have done more. I dunno what do you guys think?

This was three coats.

Lacquer Lust - Diamond - April Birthstone

Hey guys,

So has anyone been watching or maybe even watched The new Daredevil series on Netflix? I've watched about half of it today, pretty brutal but also pretty dang good. I recommend it if you're into that sort of thing.

Today I have the Lacquer Lust birthstone holo for April to show you, I don't know if I will be able to get my hands on the May birthstone so this might be the last one until June. We'll have to see. I need there to be a restock at Harlow and co STAT.
This is a pretty (off) white holo. Nice application.
This was two 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.
Anyways for polish swatches click for more after the jump

Supernatural Lacquer - Meg 2.0

Hey guys,

So yesterday I was at a wedding of two of my very good friends, one of the best weddings I've been to in a while, that's for sure. As a result though I feel like my weekend has FLOWN by. I need another day.

Today I have another of the Women of Supernatural collection to show you, This is a light pink crelly full of purple/pink glitters. I love how pretty and girly this one is.
This was three coats.

Kiss Nail Dress - Double Lutz

Hey guys,

So a while back Influenster sent me some press on nails to review, basically the way influenster works is they send you something then you have to review it and then complete "challenges" then if you complete all the challenges they send you a thank you gift. Well my thank you gift finally arrived.  It included another set of the press on nails and then a set of these Kiss Nail Dress nail strips.

So I thought I would try out these nail strips.
The only other nail strips I have tried are the Sally Hansen real polish ones. It doesn't really say but these aren't real polish, they're basically stickers. They come in a bunch of different sizes and this one has two different options for looks.
As far as instructions go there wasn't really anything too helpful about application or removal.
They didn't want to lay flat, and because they aren't made of polish you couldn't really stretch them to fit and lay flat.
So on my cinderella hand (eep yes there is a picture of it in it's misshapen glory) I tried to use a coat of SV to seal the edges, well THAT was a mistake, the top coat basically ATE the strip. Whoops.
Then there aren't any instructions on removal, I'm always leery of just peeling things off of my nails. But Apparently that is what you're supposed to do.

Anyways long story short I hated these, and for the price (I think about $7-$10 a pack) I will just buy the  Sally Hansen nail strips. Oh and my boyfriend said that my nails looked like they were wearing underwear. So that happened.

So my advice - Save your money.

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 Am The One Who Knocks

Hey guys,

So I am FINALLY done all my little half finished projects, at least the ones off the top of my head. I likely have others I just haven't touched in months. Man it feels good. Like I can now start something new! Woohoo!

Okay so today's polish is Breaking Bad inspired, I won't lie I stalled out in season 3 but anything Breaking Bad reminds me of one of my besties Melissa. Breaking Bad is her jam. So I dedicate this one to her. As for me. It's a light based crelly so that's all that matters to me. I love this one so much.

Inspired by Walter & Jessie's infamous blue meth, this light blue crelly is jam-packed with varying blue shade micro glitters.

This is three coats.

Scottish Flag Manicure

Hey guys,

Okay so I know I'm a bit late here but lately I have been obsessed with Scotland, I want to go so insanely bad. Basically it just seems like a magical place with such rich history. Well yesterday Scotland voted on an independence referendum. The vote was almost split down the middle, the "No" side won.

I won't pretend to have an opinion on this, I am not Scottish, in fact I heard somewhere that ancestor's of mine were forcibly removed from Scotland for stealing sheep (I sort of doubt this is true, but heck who knows?) but most of the people I saw talking about it wanted a "Yes" vote. 

Anyways, in honor of this big day for Scotland I decided to do a Scottish Flag manicure.

my ring number is super funky and the blue is likely way off (I saw all sorts of different blues so I picked my favourite) but anyways. 

Scots - this one is for you.

OPI - Angel With A Leadfoot

Hey guys,

So tonight seemed to be the premiere night of a few shows, let start with this: Does anyone here watch the Mindy Project? Danny's dance at the end, I died laughing. So great, I love that show. Mindy Kaling is one of my many spirit animals.

Today I have another Mustang Mini for you. Yep. it's WHITE. Personally I find white to be a bizarre colour to have in a collection. Just plain white. Nothing special about it. It was pretty generic as far as whites go. A bit streaky and kind of a pain, but overall pretty much your average white. I also can't figure out why my nails look so whacked in these pictures, let's blame hand position.
This was three coats.

Supernatural Lacquer - Yellow Fever

Hey guys,

So I enjoy trips to our local fabric store. Fun fact I love to sew. I am so not patient enough to make clothing or anything but I've made stuffies and quilts and other random stuff. Well I've been contracted to make some eye patches for my coworker's son to help strengthen his weaker eye. I have no idea how it's going to turn out but I'm excited to try.

Today I have the last Supernatural Lacquer to show you guys. Another white crelly, this one a bit more sheer and yes you guessed it, I loved it. I know I sound like a broken record but I love all of this. The black circle glitter in this is perfect along with the neon yellow.

This was three coats.

Supernatural Lacquer - Jefferson Starships

Hey guys,

So today the weather here was dismal. On Saturday it was plus 26! Then today it was 3 degrees and rainy/sleet/snow ALL DAY. All our ponies had their winter blankets on today. Yuck. Seriously, that's being a bit bipolar there Mother Nature.

Today I have another gorgeous Supernatural Lacquer to show you. This may be my one of my favourites that I have to show you this go around. It's a white based glitter which just makes my heart sing! Plus it's jam packed with neon glitter and so many stars! I love it. This was three coats, although 2 would have been fine.

Julep - Bunny

Hey guys,

So tonight I had a great dinner catching up with a friend I haven't seen in a long time. Sometimes there is nothing better than just talking for hours about random stuff. So much fun.

Today I have a different polish to show you. Okay so this is a white polish that has got golden glitter in it. Except the golden glitter is all but invisibke to the naked eye and in pictures. Although if you squint hard and do the hokey pokey while singing the macarena song you can barely catch a glimpse of it in some of the pictures. Basically this is just a nice white polish. It applied nicely though! Two coats.
