Marc Jacobs "Jezebel"

Purchased By Me

Hey all, it's time for Try It On Tuesday once again! Last week the new Marc Jacobs Beauty line launched at Sephora, so of course I played with all of the nail polishes! I just wish I had remembered to actually take photos of the store display while I was there. DUH! There were several from the 24 that I wanted but since I'm not rich I settled on just one for now. 

A England "Rose Bower" & "Fated Prince"

Press Sample

Hello and Happy Hump Day! Today I have two polishes from the new A England Burne-Jones Dream collection that were provided to me by Color4Nails. If you don't know already A England is a UK based indie nail varnish brand. Since royal mail has gotten super strict on what leaves the UK, us varnished vixens in the US have had to find another way to get our talons on these gorgeous polishes! Color4Nails is a great option for all your A England needs! Shipping is amazingly fast and you get a fast response once you send your order! Sisi, owner of Color4Nails, is super sweet and offers excellent customer service! 

Well lets take a look at what we're all here for, the polish! 

Love, Angeline Summer Rainbows Collection

Press Sample

Good morning my polished pretties!! Did everyone have a good weekend?  Do anything fun for the holiday? I had tons of fun and wish it didn't end but all good things must end and now we are back to the everyday hustle and bustle! Today I am going to show you the Summer Rainbows collection by Love, Angeline! All of these are shown as 2 coats no top coat. The formula for each one was quite thick, so I wound up adding about 3 drops of thinner to each mini bottle to make application easier. I did have some bubbling when I tried to apply them without adding the thinner. These are all described as having a subtle shimmer but the finish, to me, is less shimmery and more foil like: they can appear a bit brush strokie. (um, is that a word? LOL) 

Love, Angeline "Light Show", "I ♥ USA" & "Fire Cracker"

Hello loves!! How was your weekend? Mine was ok, it was rainy and kinda icky here most of the weekend. For today's post I have some 4th of July polishes to show you, the Independence collection from Love, Angeline.  

Dollish Polish "I Wanna Do Bad Things With You"

Happy True Blood Day!!! 

One of my favorite days of the year is when True Blood starts! Last season was kind of a slow starting season in my opinion but this season already has me freaking out! I just want it to hurry up and be next Sunday already! LOL Since it's True Blood day I decided that it would be a fang-tastic (hahaha!) day to wear this gorgeous Dollish Polish I was sent to review by Edgy Polish! Edgy Polish is a Swedish stockist run by Katarina of Edgy Polish Blog! 

Live Life Polished "Cards 4Ever" "#12 In 13" & "Rally Squirrel"

Press Sample

Today's post combines two of my greatest loves: polish and the St. Louis Cardinals! If you have been following me for any amount of time you know that I love baseball season. Some of the best times spent with my dad were at Cards games. It was one of the only ways we really bonded, and it's something he and I enjoy still today! I just love the energy of the fans, the yells from the beer vendors, the smell of the stadium, St Louis is the best city for baseball! So when Tammy, creator of Live Life Polished and fellow Cards fan, said she had been thinking of making some Cardinals polishes I was super excited! These are those creations!

U-Neek Polish: Dark Angel, Mystic Mist, Cerberus and Black & White Diamonds.

Press Sample

Good morning!! Today I bring to you 4 holographic polishes from U-Neek Polish! I was so excited this past weekend when the sun made an appearance! I live in the Midwest, so it could be sunny and 80 degrees one minute and then gloomy and snowing the next minute. Needless to say I was a swatching fool trying to get all of the holos ready for reviews! LOL 

Each of these have excellent formulas, application was great. No flooding, pooling, dragging or thickening during use. Dry time was also excellent. I used a top coat with each of these, it didn't dull the holo at all.

Nail Pattern Boldness: Inner Beauty Is For Amateurs

Press Sample

Good morning, how was everyone's weekend? Mine was boring and kinda cranky. I've really been in a sour mood...my poor, poor hubby. LOL Anyway, today I have an absolutely gorgeous polish from Nail Pattern Boldness to show you. 

Wing Dust Collections "I Am Yours & You Are Mine" & "Space Cadet"

Press Sample

Sorry for the late post! I just wasn't feeling very well today. :( As you know, since I've been complaining about it so much, the weather has been less than perfect around here. I have a lot of holo polishes I have needed to swatch but the sun has been scarce. Well I woke up yesterday and I was very surprised by the sun! WOW! It's not a myth! So I hurried and swatched these 2 beauties from Wing Dust while I had the chance! 

TIOT: Nail Pattern Boldness "I Believe I Can Fly"

Purchased By Me

As I'm sure most of you know, today is World Autism Awareness Day, and a lot of bloggers in the nail community are showing their support by wearing blue manis. Some are only doing the day while others are doing the whole month of April. I have decided to dedicate my Try It On Tuesday's, all April to blue manis, to show my support. I don't have a personal story to share about autism but I know that some of the people in my life deal with the struggles of autism, due to the lack of awareness every day. I show my support for them! If you would like to learn more about what autism is please click the photo above and it will direct you to a website with a lot of important information. 

When I was thinking about which polish I wanted to use for this mani I knew instantly I Believe I Can Fly was perfect. Part of Nail Pattern Boldness' R.Kelly collection, named for his inspirational song.  I felt it was appropriate for the theme. 

Kelara Lacquers "Teacher's Little Helper 2.0" & "Pluto"

Press Sample

Hi all! Sorry for the late post today! The day just kind of got away from me, one minute I was doing a little bit of house work and the next thing I know my husband is home from work and I needed to make dinner. Needles to say things just got pushed back. Tonight I am showing you a couple of polishes from Kelara Lacquers. If you have been following me for a while you may have seen the review and swatches from the end of last year already but if you need a refresher or you're new to my blog just click on the link above! 

L is For Louboutin

Purchased By Me
*nothing to disclose

It's Wednesday and you know what that means!! Another ABC Challenge post! Today is the letter L. When this challenge started, I had made out a list for what I wanted to do for each letter. Well I should say I TRIED to make a list, most of my letters have me at a loss, but L was one I knew right away! I have a slight obsession with shoes, not collecting them or wearing them, just looking at them! I use to be a big shoe freak, back in my club hopping days I could rock the highest heals in the worst conditions, rain, sleet, snow, thick sheets of ice, crazy mangled streets, you name it I could do it! (If any of you know what it's like to party on the Landing in Downtown St. Louis you know that even some of the most experienced heel wearing gals have trouble on those crazy cobblestone streets, but I was like a cat!) Then I started working longer hours at the hospital, wearing nothing but tennis shoes and flip flops and partying less. Eventually the deadened nerves in my well trained feet started to regenerate and heels quickly became a thing of the past. Now I just drool over all of the super sexy sky high beauties.Wishing I could manage to pull them off again without the period of torture it takes to grow accustom to them. So my inspiration for this weeks letter, as I'm sure you have guessed by now, is shoes. And not just any shoes but Christian Louboutin's! Über expensive and equally as amazing, known for having some super classy and also super blingie looks and always with the red soles. I only wish I had owned a pair in my crazy heel wearing days. Since I never did, I'll settle for making my stilettos into Louboutin's instead!

Second post today!! Aren't you all proud of me? LOL I decided to recycle my manis from my previous post of the day, I just wanted to put those gorgeous Hard Candy's to good use! These next 2 polishes are from BG Cosmetics' Party Like a Rockstar collection.

Me.Lissa Nail Lacquer: Green Light On The Dock, Ain't No Party Like A Gatsby Party & Beautiful Little Fool

*Free product for review

Tonight I am going to show you some glitter polishes from a very new Indie brand that opened shop up in January. Here is a little background on Melissa, the creator of Me.Lissa Nail Lacquer...

"As a science major and pre-med student, there isn't much room for creativity during my day job. I love nail polish, and have always used it as my creative outlet. I started out doing some nail art and then moved on to some small frankening experiments. Now I decided to launch my own brand as a creative escape in between school and work. I named it Me.Lissa because I really want it to represent the color combinations I love and find fun to wear." 

The following polishes are from Me.Lissa's Gatsby collection and are LE so when they are gone they are gone for good! All Me.Lissa Lacquers are 3 Free.

ABC Challenge: K is for Kids Choice!

Welcome to another day in Kimber's ABC Challenge. The letter K had me a little stumped, I wanted to do some art but I had no idea what to do that would start with the letter K. So I left it up to my niece and nephew, making this a Kid's Choice mani. They picked red so to take the Kid's Choice theme a little further I let one of the kiddos actually do my mani from start to finish! Yes I cheated. I did not create this mani. They are my nails though so it still counts, right? Please be nice to the art work, my 9 year old niece did an excellent job creating her version of ladybugs on my nails! 

*I want to note that the products we used in this mani were provided to me from M•A•S•H Nails for review. I will have an actual full review on the color soon, the Nail Art Pen I reviewed previously in a post that can be found here. Ok now the art...

She even did the clean up too! She's a natural!! 

Delightful Lacquers: Tropical & Ruby Slippers

I have a really late post for you all tonight! I had planned on having this up earlier but the kiddies and I had a long day. We did a little shopping, visited the Easter Bunny, went to the playground and then came home to do a little yard work. Now I want to tell you how very evil I am! This yard work was some trickery on my part. I was trying to keep the kids occupied but out of the house, since my husband is working 3rd shift this week and has been feeling under the weather.So I told them we could go outside and they could play. They were getting bored of just running around so I came up with a "contest". I told them whoever could make the  biggest pile of sticks in 10 minutes would get some ice cream. Well an hour later we had all of the fallen branches and sticks gathered up into two great big piles, from and back yard! LOL I even have them roped in for a leaf pile contest tomorrow!! Maybe I could even get my garage cleaned out!!! Yes I know, I'm evil! Anyway, that's why this post is sooooooo late. Ok, enough yammering, I'll get to the polish!

TIOT: Hard Candy Little Hottie & WindDust Dancing Queen

Just a quick post, I know it's a late one but I wanted to try out one of my new Itzy Glitzy Hard Candy polishes! So why not use one for my TIOT, yes I know it's not Tuesday anymore,

*EDIT* Frankenstain Nail Polish: Venus In The Sea, Kassandra & Sleep Deprived

Today's TIOT post is going to be a late one. I am going to try to have double posts up on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for a little while. I have a TON of reviews to get done and with all the extra things going on around the house and my TIOT and ABC posts taking those days away I am having a hard time keeping up. Today I have the final 3 of my  Frankenstain Nail Polish reviews.
