Floam!

Hello! Today I have a polish that I have been waiting for...for what it seems like forever. Ninja Polish is always sold out and when they do have more stock, they go in the blink of an eye. So I am thrilled to finally get my hands on Nail-venturous Floam!

I actually found this on Copious, I had some credits so I got this polish for around $5 which was pretty exciting, considering anyone who re-sells it, sells it for around $20, $25. Yeep!

If you aren't familiar with Copious it is like an Etsy Pinterest, they give away credits all of the time and just for signing up you get $10 off of your first $20 purchase, which is pretty dang cool. Then you get $5 for everyone you refer, so if you want to grab some deals check it out, here is referral link.

I have Floam over OPI Fly, not for any particular reason. To be honest, I got the Floam delivery at work and COULD NOT wait to put it on. So over Fly it went. This is 2 coats of Floam over Fly. No top coat, as
Floam is a matte glitter. THIS IS THE COOLEST NAIL POLISH EVER! Go find it, go buy it, the end.

SQUEAL!

There you have it, after months of waiting, she's-a mine! Go buy some, do it. See you next time, my lovely polished ladies!

Butter London Trustafarian

Hello! As as I am sure most of you know - Ulta was doing a buy one, get one free sale on Butter London yesterday. I showed some self control and only got 2 bottles.

I have been Trustafarian this since it came out, it's a gorgeous pale, sage green holographic polish - I say holographic because when you see this is awesome lighting, it shines like a zillion diamonds (as you will see).

I have 2 coats of Trustafarian on, you could do 3 but I have a problem with thickness (I like to peel). Then I have a coat of Seche Vite. I LOVE THIS NAIL POLISH! It is so subtle indoors, but once you get outside in the sun it's like WHAM! The flash on my camera really intensifies the glitters, it's rather lovely, I feel like a champion.

Awe-mazing! (Awesome + Amazing).

In the shady-sun, what it looks like indoors. Nice and subtle. 

And POW! So gorgeous. 

This is how I justify spending $14 a bottle on Butter London. This color is marvelous, perfect for moving into Fall (or anytime really). I don't feel too flashy but I don't feel demure. I highly, highly recommend this polish. See you next time, my lovely polished ladies!

Julep Popova

Hello! I have part 2 of my Julep box today! Popova is a unique green crème, that I had a difficult time painting. Maybe it was because I had 2 coats of nail strengthener on underneath because my nails are in need of some TLC. It's a paler green but not quite mint, Julep calls it "kelly green" but I beg to differ. I do like the color; however, my mom said it was ugly. You win some, you lose some. 

If you aren't familiar with Julep Maven, it's a subscription service that gives you nail polish! I got my first box for just 1 cent. If you want to keep receiving boxes (you can always cancel), they are $19.99 and well worth the price. Here is a link where you can grab your intro box for 1 cent, just remember the code TWITTER1 HTTP://JULEP.COM/?R=21827352

 I have 2 coats of Julep Popova over 2 coats of Palladio Nail Strengthener, topped with a coat of Seche Vite. Excuse my painting, it's crude and thick.

Apparently my computer doesn't want to align my pictures, COOL. 

Overall, I enjoys this color! See you next time, my lovely polished ladies!

Another Blue? Yes!

Hey ladies. I just realized that I have been doing a lot of blue polishes lately...I am not sure why, seeing as I don't particularly like blue. Well...I like this one!

This polish came in my September Julep Maven Box. If you aren't familiar with Julep, it's a subscription service that gives you nail polish! I got my first box for just 1 cent, not even kidding. If you want to keep receiving boxes (you can always cancel), they are $19.99 and well worth the price. Here is a link where you can grab your intro box for 1 cent, just remember the code TWITTER1 HTTP://JULEP.COM/?R=21827352

I got 2 polishes and a mascara this month! I am a sucker for mascara so I was really excited. The first polish from my box that I am going to show you guys is Julep Gunta. It is a really pretty royal blue crème. This one glided on like butter and covered nicely. It's a wee darker in person than in the pictures I think, which is very frustrating. I am a fan! I think I want to get some gold accents in here somewhere, to make it a truly royal manicure! I have 2 coats on here with a coat of Seche Vite on top.

She is so shiny!

This is more true to the color, I think.

I will have the other polish I got in my box up later in the week! So many fun things coming up, can't wait to show you guys my new polish and new polish station! See you next time my lovely, polished ladies!

OPI Fly

Hello! I am getting back into the swing of painting my nails after moving, which I assume will get better once I get a chair for my little polish nook I have set up! I will get some pictures for you guys because I know how interesting it is seeing other peoples' polish set ups...

Anyways. When the Nicki Minaj OPI collection came out, I put my love of polish aside and firmly planted myself on the "not gonna buy it" position, due to the fact that I can't stand her. Well I think it's been long enough that I can buy one, so I picked Fly. It's a really pretty, creamy teal. It was even boyfriend approved!


I have two coats of OPI Fly and a coat of Seche Vite. I am not sure the camera picks up  how cool this really is, it's actually a little darker to me in person. Anyways, I'm a fan. I just put Floam over it though...maybe you can have pictures of that later.

My nails are in the process of growing back, they feel funny.

On my new back patio, wooo. 

All in all, I am a fan. And I am even more of a fan with Floam over the top...I think I will have to take pictures tomorrow and post them for you guys, because let's face it, Floam is awesome. See you next time my lovely, polished ladies!

Unfor-Greta-Bly Blue? Forgetable.

Good day! I have another OPI Germany swatch today...I decided because I can't just show good polishes all the time, I need to get some in there that I really didn't enjoy.

Maybe it's blue. Maybe I am prejudiced against blue. Either way, I am not a giant fan of OPI Unfor-Greta-Bly Blue. Might be the name, too. I always feel like I have to be super careful with blues, because clean up is a bitch. I use acetone to clean my cuticles up and even then I ended up with a blue tint to my fingers, sad day.

 Anyways, same old story. 2 coats of OPI and then a coat of Seche Vite. And here we are. A tremendously mediocre manicure. But hey, if blue is your thing, the formula is good. Much like any other OPI but held back by the mini brush that I had.

Blue cuticles, you slay me!

She's-a fine, just not my cup of tea!

And that is the story about how I am biased against the color blue. See you next time my lovely polished ladies!

New Favorite Nude

Hello all! You can't tell from my blog but...I am a sucker for soft, neutral polishes. I am actually pretty sure I have the same soft pinks and beiges in like 4 different brands (D'OH!)

I picked up the OPI Ger-Mini's set on Copious. If you are unfamiliar, Copious is a marketplace much like Etsy, except a little more user friendly. They kick out free credits all of the time and if you sign up under my referral link you get $10 to spend right away! Here is my link to get some free stuff!

The Ger-Mini's have 4 polishes, Don't Pretzel My Buttons, Nein! Nein! Nein! OK, Fine!, Unfor-Gret-A Blue, and Suzi & The 7 Dusseldorfs. I first tried OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons. I am in love with this nude. It is creamy, rich and gives me good mannequin hands. I seriously feel like I should be in a catalog. I love this polish and never want to take it off. But alas, there are more polishes to try. I have 2 coats on and a coat of Seche Vite on top.

What a beauty.

More Germany to come, but I HAD to get this one up. I highly suggest it if you are into this sort of thing. See you next time, my lovely polished ladies!
