Nine Zero Halloween Collection!

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Today I have the Nine Zero Lacquer Halloween collection to share with you! Yeah yeah yeah, I know that Halloween is in one day but I have confirmed with Jess that these will be around for a bit so you can still purchase!

Tricks No Treats is a while crelly with purple, green, and orange matte shards. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat. I would recommend setting the bottle upside down for a minute to let some of the glitters sink to the top (which sounds very weird to write out, ha!)


Jack-O-Lantern Juice is an orange jelly with matte black shards. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat. A second coat of topcoat might be needed to completely smooth out some of those shards.

Cauldron Fire is a black jelly with orange holographic glitters. This is quite stunning and about 50 times prettier in person! The sparkle is very evident! I say we get Jess to make this type of polish in every holo glitter, yes?? This was 2 coats plus two coats of topcoat.

The Witching Hour is an orange, purple, black, and green micro holo glitter. Again, another that is really much much more sparkly and intense in person! 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Spooky Lights is the Halloween version of Twinkle Lights and Patriot, with orange, purple, green, and black glitters. 3 coats plus topcoat.

Black Cat Optional in a silver holographic glitter with orange and black and white glitters mixed in. This is 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Also returning this year is Swamp Thing, the lovely green polish she released last year.

What do you think? Which of these is your favorite?

Talk to you soon!

Round 29: Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Press Sample


It's time again for Bestie Twin Nails with Alaina from The Little Canvas! Today we are doing a simple orange and black dotticure AND I have two Sally Hansen polishes to review for you!

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Black to Black is a standard black creme. It's very black and could be considered a one coater but I wanted a tiny bit more so I did two coats. Orange Zest is an orange creme and this had a thinner formula, needing 3 coats for complete opacity.




Then I dotted OMGhost from last year's Halloween release onto my ring finger, along with Black to Black. And for the flakies on the middle finger, I added Nine Zero Lacquer Flakie All The Things!

We wanted to add some "goobley eyes" to the pointer finger. My daughter calls googley eyes "goobley eyes" and it just cracks me up every time she says it, lol!

Different Dimension Whatchu Talkin' Bout Willis

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have another Polish Con polish to show you today! My friend Jess was kind enough to pick this up for me in September at PC and I'm sooooo lucky she did!

Different Dimension Whatchu Talkin' Bout Willis is a deep berry holo with holo glitter. I love the addition of holo glitter in holos that I'm seeing lately; it really adds something to the polish to make is sparkle even more!

This was 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired by the Weather

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

We've been having some seriously gorgeous weather lately and I saw the most beautiful sunset last week and was inspired to do a gradient for this prompt. And it just so happened that I had three Pretty Serious polishes sitting in my acrylic rack that were perfect for this sunset!

I started with a white base and then sponged Pookie (blue), Honey Puff (yellow), and Peachie Poo (peach) onto my nails until I reached the desired opacity and then topped it off with topcoat. I thought about trying to draw some trees but you know how awful I am drawing trees so I decided to leave it as is, lol!

Zoya Urban Grunge Collection - My Picks! Plus A Giveaway!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I absolutely loved the Zoya Urban Grunge collection for Fall this year but I was super good and only bought a few polishes during the Zoya Trade In promo (essentially only paying for three polishes). These are all amazing so let's just get to it.

August is a slate gray creme. This is probably a one coater except that I had the tiniest patch that I needed to level out so I just did two coats on all of the nails, lol. AMAZING formula. Seriously.


Mallory is a deep cobalt blue creme. Clearly this was essential for me to own, as I own nothing like this.... heehee. Okay fine. But I love this color!

Wyatt is a deep hunter green creme. This was 1 coat. Amazing formula. Dead. Dying. Done.

Alicia is a silver holo with a touch of gold holographic glitter. This looks rather generic in the bottle but it's truly stunning on the nail. This was 2 coats.

Finley is a deep royal purple with Zoya's tried and true scattered holo formula. I LOVE this shade of purple. It is so rich and royal and just... ughhhh so pretty! This was 2 coats.

And then OBVIOUSLY there is Merida. Like... there are no words. This is amazing. It's stunning. Glorious. Rich. Luxe. FREAKING AMAZING. Just go buy it immediately.

What are your favorites from this collection? Did you pick up any??

Now for the giveaway! It isn't directly related to this post but I just couldn't really wait to post the link so I added it to today's draft lol!

Great Lakes Lacquer Leaves In The Lake

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

As bummed as I was to miss out on attending Polish Con in Chicago in September, I have been able to get a few leftover exclusives here and there. I was so glad to be able to purchase the Great Lakes Lacquer polish, Leaves in the Lake.

This is a dark navy jelly with red, orange, green flakies. I used 3 coats here, plus topcoat. This picture does this polish no justice; it is sooooo much prettier in person! The flakies in the jelly really stand out!

Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired By Your Phone Case

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose


Today we are doing manicures inspired by our phone cases. I have a lovely pale rose gold case but since I just did a rose gold mani not too long ago, I didn't want to do one so similar. So I pulled out this beautiful polish from Fair Maiden Polish, Vintage Romance. I only have a few Fair Maiden Polishes but thus far, they've all had fantastic formulas and this was no different. 

I used 2 coats here. 

Be sure to check out the other Twinsies Phone case inspired manicures!

Wet n Wild Lettuce Be Friends

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Affiliate Link

To round out Wet n Wild week, I have Lettuce Be Friends from the Summer Sizzle 2016 collection.

This is more of a minty green than a lettuce green but either way... I like it. 2 coats with a nice formula.


I've said it multiple times but the Wet n Wild Megalast polishes are some of my very favorite from the drugstore. They have great formulas and are very consistent.

Rite Aid is running a 25% off sale with your Plenti Card and free shipping on orders over $34.99 through 10/8/16. Use code OCT25.

Wet n Wild Split Pea Soup

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Affiliate Link

I have another Summer Sizzle Wet n Wild polish to share with you today! This is Split Pea Soup, and I mean, what else is there to say about this color other than it's perfectly split pea soup colored.

I used 2 coats; the formula was great and it covered evenly.


I did want to mention that I bought these at Rite Aid and right now, Rite Aid is having a 25% off sale with your Plenti Points card plus free shipping on all orders over $34.99 through 10/8/16. Just use code OCT25. This is an affiliate link, by the way, but it's also just a really great deal even if you don't use this little linky poo right here :)

Wet n Wild Cali Sunshine

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have a few Wet n Wild polishes to show you this week, all from the Summer 2016 Nail Sizzle collection. I've had these for a few weeks, thinking they were from the fall collection but alas, I was wrong, lol!

Cali Sunshine is popcorn butter yellow. Or maybe a sunshine yellow, ha! This was sheer and even on 3 coats, I could still see my nail line but you have to know that I just LOVE this color and the formula was good.
