Happy New Year's Eve!

Happy New Year's Eve! Hope you all had/are having a great day/night! For my NYE mani I wanted a super blingy black and gold look. I started with Colors by Llarowe Vincent, a black creme. I then painted half my nail with Enchanted Polish Flashing Lights, a gold holo microglitter, and half with Lumina Lacquer The Snow King, a mix of various gold, silver, and pinky purple glitters. Super sparkly, exactly like I wanted! Take a look:

NOTD: Rainbow Polka Dots!

Hello! Today I have a fun rainbow dotticure to share with you. I started out with a base of Lilypad Lacquer Rainbows In Space, a black holo. Then, in ROYGBIV order, I used Colors by Llarowe Man In The Red Suit, Orange Crush, Woodstock, Gemini Rising, Aly's Dream Polish Patriotic Blue, Colors by Llarowe Smooth Criminal, and Tank Tops & Flip Flops. Lots of colors made for a super rainbowtastic mani, take a look!

Enchanted Polish August, September, October 2014

Hello! Today I have Enchanted Polish August 2014, September 2014, and October 2014 to share with you! As you probably know, these polishes are special in that they are mysteries - you don't know what they look like until you get them! So if you haven't gotten yours yet and don't want to ruin it for yourself, I suggest you leave now (but come back later!).

no spoilers (but look at the pretty holo reflection on the counter!)

And now for the pretties!

left to right, up to down: September 2014, October 2014, August 2014

First up is August 2014, a magical green-y teal multichrome that shifts blue and purple. It is totally mesmerizing! Two coats here.

blue than the other (teal) fingers?

blurple-y purple shift

Next up is September 2014, a bright pink-ish red holo with pink shimmer. This is soooooo beautiful, I am in love! It also happens to be quite similar to Cranberry Cosmo, which is quite difficult to find these days - so if you've dreamed of CC, this would be a much easier to obtain, just as beautiful alternative! Two coats here.

Lastly is October 2014, a super dark blackened olive green holo with green-y gold shimmer. Very fall, very holo! Two coats here.

All such beauties! I love them all :) These polishes were a one-time preorder, but if you love them and want them, you should definitely be able to find them in the Facebook polish sale groups or Storenvy pretty easily (and for not too much either)!

Have a wonderful day! ♥

Hurray for Halloween! Part Two

Hello hello! So it should be pretty obvious by this point that I am totally obsessed with Halloween polish. So, today I will share even more with you :)

🎃

First up is Pahlish Caramel Apple Orchard, a lovely candle apple red holo, with Lynnderella Very Pretty Vampire, a mix of red, black and burgundy glitters, layered on top. I love this mani! Always fun to get to reuse a polish in a totally different way :)

I'm Obsessed With Doctor Who Polish

Hello friends! No point in wasting anyone's time with a paragraph on how long it has been since I last posted (but of course it has been a ridiculously long time). So instead let's just get on to the pretties!

left to right, up to down: Digital Nails Fantastic!/Allons-y+Pahlish The Clock Strikes
Twelve; Smitten Polish Her Name Was Rose+Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer Is That a
Technical Term, Jiggery Pokery?; Spellbound Nails Leave The Brakes On

All of which, as you may have guessed from the title) are polishes inspired by Doctor Who, which is the greatest thing in the world, of course (no room for discussion there, it just is). Since season 8 started a couple weeks ago, I have been in even more of a Whovian groove than usual -- rewatching the new series properly all the way through (even though I am always watching episodes here and there) and actually using some of the dozens of Doctor-inspired polish that I obsessively hoard. Yay for using untrieds!

♥♥♥

First up is a gradient mani using a base of 2 coats of Digital Nails Fantastic!, a dark slate gray creme with bits of graphite mixed in (cool!) which is of course to represent the equally cool Ninth Doctor. I then sponged Digital Nails Allons-y! (Ten♥) a charcoal holo with gold shimmer, on the tips. I finally dabbed a little Pahlish The Clock Is Striking Twelve, a gray and black holo glitter, on the middle of the nail. That is three polishes, three doctors, 1 mani! If only I could have worked a Matt Smith (
♥♥♥) polish in there... (like Digital Nails Geronimo! -- will save that for another post)

Next up is a mani I wore this weekend actually, while I was rewatching season 2 - specifically the last episodes of season 2 ;__; We'll call this my "Tribute to Rose Tyler" mani, since both polishes used were inspired by her. I started out with two coats of Smitten Polish Her Name Was Rose, a rosy (duh) pink holo microglitter. I then used Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer Is that a Technical Term, Jiggery Pokery? a mix of pink and silver glitters in a sheer pink jelly base.

TT___________TT

Lastly is the polish I wore to celebrate the start of Season 8 two weeks ago. Instead of being inspired by one of the Doctor's regenerations or companions, it is inspired by none other than the TARDIS herself! Spellbound Nails Leave The Brakes On is a delightfully vibrant bright TARDIS blue holo - I think I used two coats here.

I found an excellent GIF of River telling the Doctor he shouldn't
leave the brakes on, but it was a bit *spoilery* so have
a wink instead ;) just steer clear of her hallucinogenic lipstick!

Anyway, this was the most fun I've had writing about polish in forever, what with all the GIFs, so don't be surprised if you find another post full of Doctor Who pretties soon! Til next time~

Yay Rainbow Nails!

Hello hello! Today I have a wonderfully rainbowtastic mani for you! It's no secret I love rainbows (hello, blog name) so I tend to do rainbow manis a lot, especially when I need a cheer-up. One such day happened recently (boo, life) so out the glitters came!

I started with a base of Cult Nails Nevermore, my favorite black creme, and then used a bunch of Lynnderella glitters: Ruby Red Ruby, Cauldron Drippings, Change, Funny Money, When the Moon Was A Star, Love Potion No.99, and Liquid Valentine. I originally tried to place each glitter on one by one with my dotting tool but this didn't work too well for some of them, so I ended up just painting thin stripes. It didn't turn out exactly like I planned but I still love it! Take a look!

On my nails:
1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off base coat
2 coats Cult Nails Nevermore
1 stripe Lynnderella (see above)
2 coats KB Shimmer Clearly On Top

I super love how colorful and sparkly and rainbowtastic this many is! The tiled look I was originally going for would have been fun too (I looked through my entire stash and couldn't find a single polish with shiny metallic LARGE purple glitters, can you believe it?) but I really like this one also -- and now that means I can go for the tiled version another day, which means yay! more rainbowz!

Classic Films Nail Lacquer Halloween Collection & More!

Hello lovelies! I reviewed a bunch of fantastic Classic Films Nail Lacquer pretties awhile back, and today I have a few more to share with you. And two of them are Halloween polishes, which means yay! I love holiday-inspired polish :)

up to down, left to right: Queen of the Pirates, Gilda, Chinatown,
The Screaming Skull

The Screaming Skull is a sheer sparkly white with multi-color shifting flecks, as well as pastel blue, yellow, and pink shard glitters, and white skull glitters. I layered this over butter LONDON Cotton Buds, a white creme. I love this one! It was designed to look like sugar skull candy, and I think it hit the mark perfectly. I did struggle to get the skulls on the brush a bit, but other than that application was perfect!

sugar skulls!

On my nails:
3 coats butter LONDON Cotton Buds
2 coats Classic Films Nail Lacquer The Screaming Skull
1 coat HK Girl Topcoat

Gilda is a reddish-pink shimmery base with gold microglitters and fuschia square glitters. I layered this over Essie Sure Shot, a fuschia shimmer. Very pretty! No problems here, the glitters came out of the bottle and spread across the nail very easily.

Chinatown is a shimmery sparkly gold base with holo rainbow microglitter, gold holo square glitter, and black microglitter and bar glitter. I layered it over Catherine Arley 807, a metallic gold holo. I adore this one! I love love love how sparkly and blingy it is, and the gold + rainbow is just a  perfect combo.

Lastly, Queen of the Pirates is a blackened gold shimmery base with red microglitter and white skull glitter. I layered it over Cult Nails Nevermore, my go-to black creme. This one is super complex and cool to look at - love that blackened shimmery base! Again, the skulls were hard to get out of the bottle but other than that no trouble with application.
