Daphine Polish Holiday Collection - Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Happy Friday, everyone! I skipped the Black Friday craziness (at least in person - LOVE online sales!) and have the holiday collection from Daphine Polish to show you! This collection is made up of 10 brand new polishes! 

She also has a sale going on this weekend so stay tuned until the end of the post for information on that!

Colors by Llarowe Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star with Another Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Mani!

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Wednesday! It's Thanksgiving Eve here in the US so I am busy working, cooking and cleaning! I also have some pretty amazing new collections to show you very soon but first I wanted to show you what I wore to see the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special in theaters on Monday!  I have to say that even though I had already seen it on TV, I am SO GLAD I went to see it. It was such a great experience! There were tons of Doctor Who fans everywhere and they added an intro to the movie that wasn't on television, as well as behind the scenes exclusive content. And really, David Tennant in 3D, I could NOT pass that up. ;)

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Celebration Mani! ♥

Nothing to Disclose

Happy November 23rd! I wanted to get this posted this morning but life got in the way and I didn't get a chance. Better late than never! I am a Doctor Who fanatic and I couldn't wait for The Day of the Doctor! I had multiple different nail art designs in mind but wanted to do something to incorporate more than one person or season so I ended up coming up with the clothing worn by some of my favorites!

More Doctor Who fun after the jump!

Darling Diva Polish Diamond Collection - Swatches and Review ♥

Press Sample

Happy Hump Day! I have some amazing beauties for you tonight! Darling Diva Polish has released two new collections - The Diamond Collection and The Opal Collection - and tonight I have The Diamond Collection to show you! (I will have The Opal Collection for you soon!)

Background credit

This collection consists of seven holographic polishes and they are STUNNING! These are the most intense holos I have seen in a while and the formulas on all of them are amazing! Most of these are one-coaters and the ones that I used two coats on I used two thin coats. (I tend to use very thin coats all the time out of habit so I very rarely use only one coat of anything.)    

The holo is more intense in these in person than it appears in my photos.

Rescue Beauty Lounge Santa Fe Road ♥

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Monday everyone! It's semi-cloudy and I'm listening to Harry Connick, Jr. so I am in a pretty good mood despite only getting about 3 hours of sleep last night (thank you caffeine! LOL). I thought I'd kick off the week with one more of my birthday polishes. This one is much more readily available though! My friend Michelle at Things I Love at the Moment knew I'd been wanting this one for a while and I'm so thankful she sent it!

Elevation Polish Uluru Holo (Custom) ♥

Nothing to Disclose

Good evening everyone! I received some very sweet and thoughtful (and amazing) gifts for my birthday on Monday. Among my favorite gifts were ones sent to me by my lovely friends I have made over the past few years in the nail polish and blogging community. Nail polish brought us together but we have formed real relationships and I have come to think of them as part of my family. They really didn't need to send me anything, just having their friendship is quite enough and I am truly thankful for them every day.  

But, they did send me some amazing gifts and I am going to show you one of them today! My friend Sheila from Pointless Cafe had Lulu from Elevation Polish create a holographic version of Uluru for me!

*MATTEVELVET nail color by Zoya is not intended to be worn with a base coat, top coat or speed dryer of any kind. Due to the unique matte formulation, color is not as long-wearing as traditional nail color. A completely clean, dry nail surface yields the best results for matte nail color wear. For best results make sure to always prepare nail with Zoya Remove + (3-in-1 nail polish remover, nail plate cleaner and new color prep.) prior to applying color.

If a base coat is desired, we suggest Zoya Get Even. 

Zoya MATTEVELVET* nail polish colors are BIG5FREE - completely free of harmful industrial chemicals such as toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) that are known to cause cancer and birth defects.

Rock and Mineral Week Continues!

Nothing to Disclose

I missed a day in Rock and Mineral Week and I'm bummed about that but life gets in the way of blogging sometimes. Tonight I have a mani using one of the rocks from my rock collection when I was a kid. I honestly don't know the name of this rock, I never researched my rocks or  anything like that. I just picked them if I thought they were pretty or had an interesting look to them.

For this mani I used Nails Inc. Fulham Palace Road, Zoya Dree, Darling Diva Polish Sashay Away and Elevation Polish(es) Limestone, Epidote and Gobi. 

I really enjoyed using a real rock instead of a photo for inspiration!

Thanks for reading and happy polishing! ♥
