From The Vault: NYC Soho

Hey guys!

Super old drafted post today; I really need to get cracking on uploading and drafting new posts! The pictures have been taken, I just haven't had time to sit down and write the posts!!


NYC SoHo is a super super pale pink. Normally, this is really boring to me but at the time, I liked it.


Two coats, no top coat.

I dabbed a little bit of Milani Hot Pink glitter on the ends. 

Talk to you soon!

Orly Dark Shadows: My Picks And An Ozotic! (Picture Heavy)

 Hey guys! Did everyone have a nice 4th of July? I didn't even see any fireworks :-( I'm old and lame, lol.

I picked up two of the Orly Dark Shadows polishes when they were on super clearance from Sally's a few weeks ago. You know I grabbed the blurple, right? Obvy.

Mysterious Curse is a blurple polish. I think it's technically plum LOADED with blue shimmer, but it's so much blue shimmer that it looks blurple. 

I used 2 coats below. This was a little thin but not too bad. I feel like it's a pretty consistent Orly formula.... never too thick, never toooooo thin, but usually a little thinner than most. If that makes sense.

I decided to try one of my new Ozotics because I ordered the darn thing, I should use it and see what all the hype is about. I'm not gonna lie: I've never been a big fan of Ozotic swatches. I kind of figured that it was a "you need to see this in person" situation but holy crap.... YOU NEED TO SEE THIS IN PERSON! It's completely amazeballs. Now I will never use this polish again because they are being discontinued. So I will hoard it forever.

1 coat of Ozotic 532 over Orly Mysterious Curse.

Gaahhh.... droolllll......


Moving on to Buried Alive, which is such a completely morbid name but gorgeous color. I'm not into the whole vampires/zombies/walking dead thing.... but I love this color.

2 easy coats, no top coat. 

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

Happy 4th of July!

Hey guys!

Happy 4th of July! I managed to squeeze in some patriotic-ish nails among all of my swatching yesterday. Does anyone have super fun times plans for the 4th? I'm going to a cookout at my parents house, after I work out. Gross..... working out is dumb. But it must be done. Sigh.

Anyway, I was using one of my polishes that I received in an awesome swap (which I have to photo and share because it's super awesome) and realized it was perfect for 4th of July nails!

P2 Divine is a sheer white jelly polish, loaded with iridescent shimmer. I used 3 coats for the photos below. 

Then I busted out my Nails Inc Royal Arcade and Milani Jewel FX Red glitters. 

One more coat of P2 Divine and the patriotic sandwich is complete! 

On my other hand, I did my thumb, index and ring fingers in the red glitter, and middle and pinky with the blue glitter. But I didn't take a picture of that, lol.

I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable day! Don't play with firecrackers, you'll blow your hand off!

OPI The Amazing Spider-Man Collection

Hey guys!

Spider-man, Spider-man, does whatever a spider can; spins a web, any size, catches thieves, just like flies... look out! Here's comes the Spider-maaannnnn!!

I hope you enjoyed my song, haha!

I picked up 5 of the Amazing Spider-Man polishes from OPI. I passed on the frosty pink :-/

First, is Just Spotted The Lizard. This is the Chanel Peridot dupe and since I will probably never own a Chanel polish, I am happy to have this. It's a lovely gold green duochrome.

I used 3 coats for the pictures below.

I used the shatter, with which I'm a little obsessed over the gorgeous teal color, over JSTL and I LOVE this combination. 

Next, Number One Nemesis. This was a PITA to photograph. It's more gray green/charcoal than in pictures. It just looks blurry. I need to figure out how to better use my camera :-/ This is 2 coats.

Into The Night. A beautiful cobalt blue metallic color. This is my second favorite of this collection.

Two coats. 

My Boyfriend Scales Walls. I originally passed on this color, because I apparently have an aversion to white nail polish. But the more I saw it, the more I wanted it. And I love it. It's a grayed out white, so it's very wearable and not IN YO FACE white. This is 2 coats, no top coat. 

I am excited for The Amazing Spider-Man movie. I'm apparently a nerd because I love all of the super hero movies. And I'll definitely be sporting some Spider-Man nail polish when I go see the film :-)

Orly Naughty

Hey guys!

Did everyone have a nice weekend? Today is my last day of vacation... Sigh!!

Today I have a post that is kind of old; I'm not even sure when I took these pictures but I figured I'd better get it out of my draft folder. I'm running low on drafted posts, I need to swatch swatch swatch!!

Orly Naughty:

In the bottle, this looks dark brown. However, it's actually a super super super dark red color. I was surprised when I was applying it and it turned out to be red!

2 coats, no top coat.

Color Club Kiss Me Mistletoe

Hey guys!

I hope everyone is still having a good weekend. We got to see some friends from out of town last night and that is always fun. Did a little shopping... some relaxing... I do love vacation time!!

This is from the Sally's exclusives from Christmas time. It was on super clearance :-)

Kiss Me Mistletoe is a metallic pale green polish. After I applied this, I was like "oh crap, it's exactly the same as Color Club Perfect Mol-Ten", but that is not true. This polish is more frosty and less metallic.

 Two coats, no top coat.

I have no idea what Mistletoe smells like so maybe this scent is accurate. Couldn't tell ya. I do know that it wasn't terribly scented so even if it was incorrect, you probably wouldn't notice unless you love the smell of mistletoe. Do people love the smell of mistletoe? I have no idea.
