butter LONDON All Hail The Queen

Hey guys!

butter LONDON All Hail The Queen is a taupey (almost holo) polish. This was 2 coats. I'd call it more of a shimmer than a holo. Application wise, this was quite fine. butter LONDON seems to have a quite consistent formula and I don't usually have issues with their polishes.

NOPI Alex By The Books with Jindie Nails Swoon

Hey Guys!

Don't forget to check out what Amanda and Sarah are posting! I can't believe that March is almost over. Crazy!!

Alex by the Books is a light turquoise creme polish from the NOPI Modern Family collection. While it's not a terribly unique color, it's so pretty and lovely for spring. I need spring!

This was two coats, no top coat. While I loathe the NOPI bottle, I have to say, their formula's are consistently solid. I almost never have any issues with NOPI's! Whoot!

I added one coat(ish) of Jindie Nails Swoon. I did have to fish the giant glitter pieces out but I mean, it's kind of awesome, right? 

What do you think of the neon glitter trend that's happening in indies? Like it? Love it?

Inspired by.... Fashion Footing??

Hey guys! Did you have a nice weekend? What did you do?? We painted and painted and finished registering! Yay!!

So this is a post that I did for Cris at Let Them Have Polish back in October because... well, I totally forgot to do a Pinterest manicure for today. TECHNICALLY, this could be considered inspired by Pinterest because it did get posted to Pinterest, lol. And it makes me so very happy every time I see it on Pinterest :-) And since I never posted it here, you get to see it today.

I started with a base of Wet n Wild Black Creme, my go to black. One coat people! Then I placed the glequins on the nail, one by one. My ring finger was definitely my favorite but I am not a terribly patient person so there was no way that was going to happen on all of the nails! LOL

NOPI, Ruby Kisses, and W7

Hey Guys!

I used NOPI Sealed With A Kris, a beautiful deep red almost jelly. This was 3 coats. 

Then, I added one coat of Ruby Kisses Ruby Slippers. So so pretty! Smelly, but pretty!

Finally, I dabbed a W7 Gold glitter onto the ends of my nails. It's quite Christmas-y, right? I know, I know... it's March.

March Untrieds: Lush Lacquer Birthday Cake

Hey Guys! Don't forget to go see what Amanda and Sarah are posting!

I received this polish in a prize pack from Marisa umm... in like September, lol. Yeah, I'm wayyyy behind. 

Anyway, Lush Lacquer Birthday Cake is a white jelly with rainbow microglitter. I think I used 3 thin coats here. I would wait a minute in between coats to prevent dragging/clumping.

Thanks Marisa!
