Nerdlacquer Swatches and Review.

Good morning! How are you today? I'm tired, and having a very lazy day....even though I shouldn't be. I took my dogs to the vet for baths, and it's the perfect day for me to clean the house....but I don't want to!!!! Ugh. I hate cleaning. I wish I was one of those women who actually liked to clean. Believe it or not, they are out there. ;-) However, I am NOT one of them. I suppose after I post this, I'll try to do something....or maybe I'll just go back to bed. LOL! ;-)

Today I have a couple of really awesome polishes to show you. It's from a rather new company on etsy called Nerdlacquer. There are lots of great polishes, and I want them alll!!! You can find the shop here...http://www.etsy.com/shop/NerdLacquer?section_id=10470264

The first polish I'm going to show you is called I Think You Call Me...Sexy. It's a royal blue with large silver hex glitters,small holo glitters, and red glitter. Application was absolutely wonderful! I wish every polish applied as well as this one. I used two coats.









Next up is Data Squirrel. It's a dusty red base with green,turquoise, silver, red, and copper glitters. Again, the application on this one was fantastic! I used two coats on this one as well.










Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you have a great day! :-)

Butter London Holiday Polishes.....Swatches and review.

Good evening! I have two, of the three Butter London 2011 Holiday polishes to show you. I wore Tart With a Heart yesterday. It's a gray/pink with blue,green,orange and clear iridescent glitter. It's really best used as a layering polish. Application was good, but the formula was a little on the thick side. I used one coat of Tart With a Heart over two coats of China Glaze Pelican Gray. It's a pretty polish, and I do like it. However, it is very dupeable. I don't think it's worth $14 for sure.

Today, I wore The Black Knight. It has a black base with fuchsia,blue,red, and silver glitter. Again, this one was on the thick side, but not too bad. I used two coats, and it did apply pretty well for it being a bit thick. I quite like this one a lot. While I do have other black polishes with multi glitter, I don't believe I have one with these certain colors only.

There is a third polish in the collection, that I didn't get. It's called Fairy Lights. It looks like a pinkish purple metallic to me, and I have plenty of those. I ordered from the Butter London website, and as of right now, they are all three still in stock.

First up, I'll show you the pics. of The Black Knight.

OPI Animal-Istic

Good afternoon! What are you up to on this Sat? I just woke up from a quick nap, and will be getting ready to go to a football game shortly. :-)

I have on OPI Animal-Istic today, which is another polish from the Muppet collection. This is a great bright red, with a touch of orange. It also has glass flecks in it. It reminds me of China Glaze Cherry Pie and/or Raspberry Festival. Same kind of finish. I didn't have any application problems at all, and I used two coats. If you are a red lover like I am, this polish is for you. ;-)









Close Up.



Animal thanks you for reading! ;-) Have a great night! :-)

Tony Moly Jupiter

Happy Saturday!!! I have a great polish to show you today. It's a South Korean brand called Tony Moly. I found them on ebay. I bought two of them, but will def. be getting the rest of the collection soon. There are four or five of them, and they are all glitters.

The one I'm going to show you today is GT05 also known as Jupiter. It's a grape colored glitter, with flecks of blue,red,purple and pink throughout. It has med. sized round blue glitter, and small purple hex glitter. Once again, this is pretty unique polish, and I don't think I've seen another one like it. I used two coats. Application was on the thick side, but nothing too bad at all. I can let that pass on a polish this
awesome! ;-)









Close Up.



So, do you have any big plans for the weekend? I really have no idea what we're going to do. There's a fall festival going on near by, that I'd like to go to at sometime over the weekend. I LOVE fall, and pretty much everything that has to do with it. :-)

Whatever you do, I hope you have a fabulous weekend! :-)

Lynnderella Very Pretty Vampire & Wet 'n Wild Buy Me a Drink.

Good evening! Today, I have one very awesome polish to show you. I'm sure some of you have heard of Lynnderella, and the wonderful polishes she makes. If you are a glitter lover, you will LOVE her polishes! They are really fun and unique. She just recently started selling them, and I was lucky to get in on her last sale. I got five of them, and Very Pretty Vampire is the first one I decided to wear. I layered it over one of the new Wet 'n Wild polishes from the Halloween collection, On the Prowl. I FINALLY found them at CVS the other day. I used Buy Me a Drink with Very Pretty Vampire.

Buy Me a Drink is a deep wine color, with slight red and purple shimmer. I have to say application on this one was awful :-( The brush was bad and flared out on the end. The formula was on the thick side, and I got a little annoyed more than once while applying it. It's still a really pretty color though, and I will wear it again. I used two coats, and after cleaning it up as best I could, it looked okay.

I used one coat of Lynnderella Very Pretty Vampire on top. VPV has multiple shapes and sizes of wine,red and black colored glitter.

You def. want to click on these to get a better look at Very Pretty Vampire. ;-)

Orly Emberstone and Kleancolor Chunky Holo Poppy.


Good morning! How is your weekend going? I was FINALLY able to get some sleep! It was so nice not waking up at 7am to men pounding on the roof. :-) I started working on a huge nail polish purge last night. I will be working on it quite a bit today. It was finally time. I'm weeding out the dupes, and colors I just won't wear. Once I'm done, I will be having my first blog sale! It won't be for a couple of weeks though. I have a lot of polish to go through and swatch. I've only just made it through my reds, and that took a couple of hours! Seriously!

Today I have Orly Emberstone to show you. It's from the new Orly Mineral FX collection. It should be hitting Sally's soon, if not already. I believe the release date is Sept. 1 but some stores already have them out.

Emberstone is a gorgeous firey red/orange. It has pink and gold flecks in it too! Application was great, and I used two coats.





I decided to see what it would like, with Kleancolor Chunky Holo Poppy on top. It reminds me of goldfish! ;-)





I of course, had to try it matte and used Essie Matte About You.





Thanks for looking, and I hope you have a great Sunday! :-) I'm off to go purge and swatch polish. ;-)

I'm back!! ;-) NOTD Sally Hansen Very Cherry.

Hey guys! How is everyone??? It feels good to be back! I missed my blog buddies!:-) I was gone longer than I thought I would be, but I had a GREAT vacation. We went to Steamboat Springs, Co and it was so nice there. The weather was perfect, but it sure is hot back home, in KS. I mean it's HOT! When we got home it was 108 degrees. I wish I could have brought the awesome CO weather home with me. I picked up a lot of great polishes while I was away, and when I got home, I found more new collections here. One of them is he new Sally Hansen Xtreme Wears. I picked up most of them, and today, I have on Very Cherry. It's a great pinkish toned red with lots of silver shimmer. Application was pretty perfect, and I used two coats.









Have you seen this collection? I found it at Target, but I hear it's also showing up at Walgreen's with four extra colors. I haven't spotted them myself, but I'm going o check again today. Well, it's good to be back and thank you for sticking with me! :-)

Essie Bonded....An oldie but goodie!

Happy Friday!!!!! This week really flew for me, and I can't believe it's already Fri. I'm not complaining though. ;-) I have a great polish to show you today. It's from Essie, and it's called Bonded. I didn't even know it existed until a couple of months ago. Someone posted pics. of it on the MUA nail board. As soon as I saw it, and being the red lover that I am, I knew I had to have it. It took me awhile to find it, but I finally found it on ebay for a total of just $5 I have no idea when this came out and it's been said to be the red version of Essie's famous Starry Starry Night. I'm not sure about that, but I do know it's a gorgeous red. It's a bright cherry red with red and silver glitter/shimmer. It almost glows! ;-) Application was great, and I used two coats.









Thanks for looking! I hope you have a wonderful Fri! :-)
