China Glaze Holiday Polishes

Hey Everyone!

Yeah I know I'm late on these, if you wanted to see these when they actually came out, but I think a lot of bloggers have pictures of them because they aren't that hard to grab! I still want to have pictures up for my own use, and yours too, so I'm posting these! Better late than never, I think ^_^

I only have four of these, and of course, one is a gold. I swear, I'm not really sure how many times I have to tell myself that golds look odd on my skin before it will sink in!

I've got more pictures and reviews after the jump!

Zoya Payton

Hello Again!

Today I've got Zoya's Payton for you. This one was a frustrating one to review because the color and sparkle are great, but I'm not quite sold on the formula. First, the good part. Check out more pictures after the jump!

St. Patty's Day NOTD

Happy Monday!

Short post today! I just wanted to post what I'm wearing for St. Patty's Day! I like stripes, so this is a simple little design. I can barely call it nail art, but I did use nail tape so I feel like I'm allowed at least that, right? I'm getting a little rainbow vibe from this one too.
I used Butter London Swinger and China Glaze Running in Circles. I swatched these two colors together and liked them in my 5 ways post, so I decided to wear them together.

Hope you have a good St. Patty's Day!

5 Ways: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Lazy Sunday!

Well, it will be for me. I had all these plans today, but it's supposed to rain pretty much from now until much later this evening, so I'm gonna hang out here and watch hockey. We really spanked the penguins yesterday afternoon, and I'm hoping we can spank 'em again today. Not to mention, I'll get to talk a lot of smack to my pens friends in the process, which I would love.

I haven't done a 5 Ways in awhile, so I decided while I was figuring out which green polish I'd wear on Monday, I'd swatch some colors and maybe inspire someone.
I've only recently found that I have the courage to wear green, honestly. I love wearing green clothes, but I wasn't too sure about it on my nails. I'm happy to say that my phobia is gone :)

Check out the jump for more pictures and thoughts!

Zoya Normani

Hello Again,

Happy Friday to you. I'm actually sick today. I've felt pretty bad ever since I ate crab meat and had an allergic reaction to it the other day. That's unfortunate because I think crab meat is delicious, so I'm pretty bummed out to know I won't be able to eat it anymore :(

Anyway, I'm going to do something a bit different for this post. Usually, when we post swatches of things up on our blogs, we like to show you a freshly painted manicure so you can really see a polish at it's best. Well, today I'm going to show you what a polish looks like after a week of wear. Behold, the lasting power of Zoya's Normani!

I've got a few  more (color accurate) pictures after the jump.

China Glaze Side Saddle

Hello Again!

I took some time off! I've actually missed posting on here, and thanks to some inspiration today, I'm going to start back. I've been a bit down, so I hope posting some regularly will help to pick my spirits up! I don't think I have any regular followers, so I can't really say I hope you've all been well, like I know you, but I do hope you're at least having a good week!

I've got a short post today, nothing fancy. I found this one awhile ago, but I never did post it. This is China Glaze's Side Saddle. It's old and I'm betting if you like CG, you've seen this one before. If not, you're in for a treat because it's nice! Here is Side Saddle:

Lighting: Sunlight

Lighting: Shade

I remember having to do three coats of this because it's patchy, and even with three it had a slight patchiness around the tops to it. I'm not even really sure how to describe this one, in terms of color. Burgundy reddish brown? It's got some shimmer to it, which you can see a bit in the sunlight picture. It's a good fall color, for sure. I better post these fall colors before spring rolls around!
This is one old, but you can still purchase it from places like Head2Toe Beauty. What do you think of this one? Maybe I'll start posting some of my older polishes on Thursday and call it throwback Thursday nail day, until I can get all of my bottles swatched..
Thanks for stopping by!
