Mish Mash Challenge: "Gray"

Nothing to Disclose

Hello Loves, happy hump day! I have a Mish Mash Challenge post for you today! It's been a while since I have done one, I'll admit if I don't find the inspiration I just skip that week in the challenge. I almost skipped this week but I decided I wanted to try the Numbus technique that The Nailasaurus recently came up with. The reason I was wanting to try it was to see how it compares to the watercolor technique.

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! 

Try It On Tuesday is BACK!

Purchased By Me

 Yes, you read that right, TIOT is officially back! I had been doing TIOT since the new year almost every week up until I went on vacation back in May. I had hoped to jump right back in to it, along with my the challenge I was participation in and all of my review posts, but I had such a hard time getting back into a groove. So TIOT and the ABC Challenge got pushed to the side and I focused on reviewing. While I love reviewing I really love being able to use the polishes I have purchased too. I have three 3 drawer "Melmers" full of polishes and I'm going to guestimate that about 2/3 of it is untried! This needs to be remedied! So I have gathered some fellow Facebook nail junkies to join me in my adventure and hopefully they will help keep me on track so I can tell my husband "see I have tried each and every polish I own!" LOL 

If you would like to join us in our TIOT Challenge, it's simple! Just click on the photo above and it will take you to my Facebook status with all of the details! 

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

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!

I really wanted to show you all these gorgeous polishes from Polish TBH,I am loving each and everyone of these. They all have amazing formulas, no dragging, clumping, thickening and dry time is great! 

Zoya PixieDust: Full Collection Swatches and Review

Hi girls and boys! As you know, unless you've been living under a rock, Textured  polishes are the big thing this year. I know that a lot of you have been going crazy over Zoya's version of this hot trend, so I am happy to bring the whole PixieDust collection here to my blog today for your viewing pleasure!

"PixieDust Application Information -  Do not use a base coat or top coat. Apply 1-3 (for full coverage) thin coats of polish. Allow product to dry down completely matte in between layers for full textured effect. The PixieDust textured formula may take up to 10 minutes to dry completely matte. Once dry, the textured finish is long lasting, matte and ultra-glittery!" -Zoya

Tonight I have 2 lovely lacquers to show you from Whooz Polish. I posted the first half of this latest batch last week so if you missed that post you can find it here. I want to start off this review by letting you know that Whooz Polish is waiting on supplies and has a limited amount of pretties available at this moment. I will have links at the end of the post so you can follow Whooz Polish on Facebook and you will know when Stephanie has restocked the shop! :)

Whooz Polish Review: Rock Candy & Pink Pirate

Good evening boys and girls! It's been difficult getting this post done. I had to redo one of the manis because I didn't realize until editing that my base coat was bubbling and I didn't want to show that to you all. While I was trying to get that done the power kept going out holding the process up. Now I am typing between power outages so I'm going to hurry! 

Whooz Polish: Winter Wonderland and Santa Review

So sorry for the late post, I was in the middle of getting the pictures cropped and watermarked and I just fell asleep. I woke up and my lap top was on the floor and Netflix was asleep too! LOL 

Tonight I have Whooz Polish, a newer Indie name that opened shop back in October. I have several different polishes to show you, but tonight I am showing only 2. So make sure to keep your eyes open for more in the very near future. The 2 I am showing you tonight are from the Christmas line.

Nail Pattern Boldness *The Time Traveler Collection*

Good afternoon boys and girls! I am sorry for the lack of posting and interacting on Facebook right now. I owe you all a recreation post for the final day of the 31 day challenge and I will have it for you but I am trying to catch up on a few things and I am having an issue with my internet that doesn't look like it will be resolved until after the holiday! Now I am at the mercy of the library WiFi, thank goodness it's just a few blocks away so I can just take a nice little walk to do my posts. It's just strange having to be super prepared before I start writing my posts! LOL Anyway. 

 Today I have a very special post for you! I recently told you all that I was sent a lot of goodies from Allison of Nail Pattern Boldness. Some of those goodies are what I'm going to show you today! 

The Time Traveler Collection is inspired by Doctor Who. Now, I will not lie, I haven't seen Doctor Who since I was little when my mom use to watch, so I have no real recollection of the old series and I  have not seen the new either. However I do know 1 thing for sure fans and non fans have been waiting for this collection to debut! So without further ado, I now present to you the very first swatches of Nail Pattern Boldness Time Traveler Collection...
