First Experience: Hare Asteroid Turf

Okay, this is going to be fast....I just worked a 17 hour shift and I think I'm tired (not even sure lol!). So this is Hare Asteroid Turf. It is a green jelly base with pinkish/purplish glitter. It's awesome! I don't have anything like this in my collection. This is with three coats. 

Sorry my cuticles and my nails suck in general...the job has torn them up.

Again I'm sorry I haven't been posting so much. I've been trying to add a watermark to my photos before I do my post but it takes me forever! I need something that I can edit/crop/add watermark and then post in less than five minutes. I'm going to go soak my hands in olive oil lol!

Until next time (hopefully soon),

Pretty and Polished Galax-E

I was extremely lucky to win Tough As Nails Lacquer 100 Likes giveaway back on July 3rd. I received my package roughly a week and half ago. It was so exciting!!! I've never won a giveaway before. Below is on of the polishes I won. A full size bottle of Pretty and Polished Galax-E. As cheesy as this sounds, it does look like space on my nails. It's a black base with different colors of micro glitter. I only needed two coats. This is with no topcoat.

Pretty and Polished has been a win in my book every time. I always like what I receive and it's a quality product. Pretty and Polished sells on Etsy (her shop will be open tonight at 8pm EST for a small restock) and over on Llarowe. She did a wonderful thing recently and offered a pre-sale. I can't wait to get my package. I can't wait to debut Tough As Nails Lacquer polishes that I also received in the giveaway! She currently has some listed on Etsy. 

Until next time,

F4 Polish Bubble-Yum

 You may remember from yesterday I did a post about Piper from F4 Polish. Well today  I have its pink sister: Bubble-Yum. It to has the white glitter but also different colors and sizes of pink glitter. I'm not a huge pink fan but I liked how bright this polish was and as we know, white glitter is my crack:)

Up close and personal!

I did two layers over China Glaze QT. I'm not a huge fan of this combination (too much pink) so I think next time I'll layer it over black. 

After trying 2 of F4 glitter polishes I can say the formula is great. The glitter is very easy to work with. This may be super weird but when I shake it I can hear the mixing ball...which is something I like!!! I love the sound and when I don't hear one it makes me nervous lol! 

Question: do you guys every add your own mixing balls to a polish?

Pretty and Polished Phoenix

Do you ever buy a polish and it looks just 'okay' in the bottle. This happened with me and Pretty and Polished Phoenix. Now it looks pretty in the bottle but damn! It looks awesome on the nails!! Blew my freakin' mind. Phoenix has an orange tint with small yellow, orange, and red glitters. Floating throughout you'll also see red hexagonal glitter. 

I did two layers over China Glaze Riveting (which is great also and I need to wear it alone so I can do a proper review). 

Up Close and Personal

Pretty and Polished has yet to let me down! Chels does great work. You can check her store out on Etsy here. Currently she is out of stock but follow her on FB for updates.

Nautical Nonsense by AmyNailBoutique

Another indie polish for everyone today. This was my first purchase from AmyNailBoutique. Okay, seriously, I had shipping confirmation within 20 minutes of placing my order! Nautical Nonsense is a matte white and blue glitter in a clear base. I was super creative and put it over white (haha). I used two coats of Nautical Nonsense. It spread easily and dried quickly. I was drawn to this one because of the matte glitter. I'm really liking that right now. 

In the picture below you can see the white glitter. The combinations for this will be endless.

Floam....And Welcome!!

First of all......holy shit!!! Welcome new followers. What an awesome thing to wake up to. I've been reading your responses to the question 'what is your favorite nail polish' and have seen this color come up a new times. Floam was created by Nail-Venturous (currently her shop is closed). It is a neon blue/yellow/green glitter in a clear base. It's supposed to look like.....well duh floam!!

I actually tried to wear this a few weeks ago. I used the polish alone and before I could take pictures I peeled it off (bad, bad yes I know). So this time I used 2 coats of Floam over 1 coat of China Glaze DV8. I topped everything off with Cult Nails Wicked Fast. 

Floam is very thick and dries fast. I think this makes it hard to work with. Is it worth it? Yeah, when I wore it the first time I received a ton of compliments. It seems to make people reminiscence to the 90's lol. 

Just be patient while working with it! A ton of different combinations are possible with this color. Oh and PS: I'm scared to take this one off!

Until next time,

Pretty and Polished Custom!!

A while back I ordered from Pretty and Polished. A color was missing from order. Wasn't a big deal. When my polish did arrive Chels included a custom polish!! I was shocked by the gesture. It made my day:) Check out the layering I did below. 

I used 2 coats of China Glaze Virtual Violet and 2 coats of the custom Pretty and Polished (it doesn't have a name). It's like she read my mind on what I like in a nail polish color. I see silver, blue and purple!!

Until next time,
Don't spill your polish:)

LushLacquer Birthday Cake

Another indie brand for you today! They are popping up all over the web.  Here I have LushLacquer Birthday Cake. It is a white base with multi colored glitter. You can even see tiny areas where there is some bar glitter. It was a little thick but workable. The 2 coats I used dried relatively quick. I used 2 coats of Cult Wicked Fast to really smooth out that glitter. The best part...I took this picture after wearing it for three days. I think it still looks like a day 1 mani.

AquaDaisy Succulent (Color Focus on Blue)

I was recently introduced to AquaDaisy nail polish while browsing on Facebook. I immediately went over to her Etsy store and snagged up a bottle of Succulent. The color is described as a mint green with several sizes of pink/fuchsia glitter. I personally think it leans more on the blue side. This is an amazing color and it dried fast, which is one of my favorite aspects of a polish! This quickly become a favorite. 

Seriously, go check this shop out here!
