It's witchcraft, I swear

I Love Nail Polish (ILNP) had a sale and I... Well, I did some serious damage. 

I walked away (clicked away?) with Masquerade, Charmingly Purple, Birefringence, and Sirene (H).

Today I'm wearing Masquerade, and I knew from the moment I started applying it that I made the right choice in buying these polishes.

Wow.

Just look.

Lippmann Call me Irresponsible and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, sandwiched

Oof. I love this combination. 

My roommate called these nails "grown up Lisa Frank nails," because the color pattern looks like Lisa Frank stickers or something. It's the perfect description.

 And in the sun:

too many pictures of too pretty a polish

China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You is magic. That's all there is to it, this polish is sorcery. 

Unfortunately, it chipped really fast on me (which is weird? usually I get decent wear out of China Glaze), so these pictures aren't quite as nice as I'd like them to be.

Please keep your pretty, polished fingers crossed for me! I submitted an essay for publication in an academic journal and I'm NERVOUS!

Holographic Halloween

Color Club Worth the Risque with Mash stamping to make it festive! 

I'm hoping to get one more Halloween-y NOTD in before Saturday's Halloween party.

Hope you have lots of treats and only some fun tricks :)

(Some items in this post were sent to me for review, that doesn't change my opinion at all, etc)

This is magic

Okay, I know I get possibly over excited whenever talking about Chanel Malice, but

but

BUT LOOK AT IT

Layered here with Beyu 209, a (dare I say it) equally magical polish

Poopy iphone pictures don't quite capture the beauty

BIrthday NOTD

I turned 19 on the 3rd. My NOTD was Lippmann Glitter and Be Gay, because that's a great goal for this new year of life.

Gold holo glitter with purple interspersed is fantastic.

Um, hi, hello

 Hey everyone (if anyone still sees this?)

I'm going to post again. But I'm not watermarking anymore because I simply don't have the time to edit these pictures. They're iPhone photos and unedited, and I'm sorry if that's not as good as before, but it's the best I've got.

Anyway, this is Lippmann's I Know What Boys Like with Essie's As Gold as it Gets.

The manicure matched my debit card, which made me laugh way more than it should've.

My hands smell like flowers

Revlon China Flower. It's a perfect two coat (one, if you do thicker coats) red. Plus it smells awesome.

(does anyone still read this?)

College is busier than I ever thought. College is more caffeinated than I ever thought.

Here's some mani spam from from my phone. They're all pretty old and I can only kind of provide accuracy with polish information.

I'll do better in the future, maybe.

All done with acrylic paint on polish.

 One of my own PAINTS by Allya polishes over a random light blue.

 A horrifically inaccurate picture of China Glaze Flip-flop Fantasy

 Sally Hansen's Tweedy. Three coats. I love it.

Butter London Wallis with Sephora by OPI goldleaf topcoat

A sunset as seen from the bay at my school. No filter or editing, it seriously looked like this.

I swear I'm alive

Well, college started. And I moved across the country via road trip. And I'm taking a full load of classes, have a student government position, am in several clubs, and write for the school paper....

In other words, time is hard to come by but I will try to start finding some for polish/polish blogging.

This is Essie Demure Vixen with Butter London A Tart with a Heart (the combination of names made me laugh).

Anyway, I got a new computer and so I don't have photoshop yet (or know how to watermark?), so forgive the unedited picture. 

I'll try to post more in the future!

It's so blingy!

Nichole by OPI's Nicole's Nickel is an interesting polish. It looks like a gunmetal glitter, but there's definitely some murky teal in the base. There's a green cast to it in the shade, as well. 

I really like it. A lot.

Speaking of cool greens!

Magnetic polishes were such a trend a few months ago but I STILL ADORE THEM.

I mean, look at that design! HOW COOL IS THAT?

Sinful Colors Force Field. It's so pretty.

New Favorite Green

OPI Live and Let Die.

Gosh, I could write sonnets about the perfection of the light green micro-flakies in that teal base. Absolutely gorgeous. 

A bit mature for my tastes

Revlon Charismatic. It's frosty and pinky-coral, just a bit... mature... looking.

I'm not really into it, though it's quite flattering.

Sunny Days

China Glaze DV8 is a gorgeous teal holo that is everything I could ever ask from a summertime polish. An oldie, but such a  goodie.

Cheap thrills

I AM DONE WITH HIGH SCHOOL

YES, EVERYONE, I WILL NEVER TAKE ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL CLASS AGAIN. IN FACT, I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN MY HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN. IN FACT (AGAIN), I WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE COUNTRY FROM MY HOMETOWN AND THUS WILL LIKELY NEVER SEE MOST OF MY PEERS AGAIN.

So, I'll be able to post more because it's summer but may be MIA again as my whole family packs up and sells our house and then moves 3,000 miles away. 

(I'm a little worried)

NYC Preppy Pink is a blue-toned pink that is just so valley girl on the nail. Very nice for pedicures.

 NYC- Midtown Mimosa. Look! A yellow jelly! I want to do a sandwich with this but I'm not sure what glitter to use.

 Fuchsia Glamour is one of my new favorites. Look how clean and pretty and dainty and lovely and-
And it's so tame but I adore it.

Though that name makes about as much sense as that Pure Ice purple with "taxi" in the name.

Yum. Assorted Sinful Colors!

The picture on Island Coral looks weird, but that was all in an effort to get the darn color of the polish accurate. I think I succeeded.

Calypso is super gorgeous and I love it.

Sweet Tooth is a red-leaning light purple with a hint of shimmer and I love it for spring.

Overall, my pictures have weird lighting because all the colors were being difficult to photograph. Still, A+ for Sinful Colors, these polishes are great!
