My First Dollish Polish!

Hello readers! I have an exciting Etsy shop polish to show you today! It's from Dollish Polish and is called Team Salvatore!! I was so excited when I ordered this, I'm a HUGE Vampire Diaries fan! (On a side note, the next couple weeks need to go by quickly because I'm not enjoying this month long break from new episodes!).

Just look at these dreamy Salvatore brothers! How can you choose between the 2? I'm all about Team Salvatore!! LOL

(from google images)

Okay, okay, on to the polish! Dollish Polish Team Salvatore is a clear base filled with red and black square glitters, black and silver small hexes, silver mini hexes, and silver shimmers. As with any chunky glitter, you have to shake and even dig around a bit to get the bigger glitter pieces out but it wasn't bad at all! I turned my bottle upside down for a few minutes to get the reds to come back to the top! 

I love how this looks over gunmetal gray color!

I used: 2 coats of Orly Nail Armor

2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Midnight Sky

2 coats of Dollish Polish Team Salvatore

2 coats of Gelous

1 coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast

I honestly probably should have gone with just one coat of Team Salvatore because all of the extra big squares made the need for 2 coats of Gelous before my top coat. I have very thick nails right now and I bet they won't last very long like this. Gelous tends to make my layers stick together and peel off in nail size sheets within a day. I guess we will see how it turns out this time!

What do you think? This and tons of other fun polishes can be purchased from Dollish Polish here. The shop it currently closed while she catches up on tons of orders so keep checking back and "like" her Facebook page here to get updates on new polishes and when the shop is open again!

Thanks for reading!!

Girls Just Want To Have Fun with a little Boom Boom Pow!

Hello readers!! I have more Deborah Lippmann polishes to show you today! I always told myself that I wasn't the girl that needed to spend $16+ on a single polish but here I find myself up to 5 of these pricey polishes with at least 2 more on my wish list. Oops ;)

I recently ordered a few from Apothica and they arrived yesterday! I was so excited, it only took like 3-4 days to get to me by USPS and that was including the weekend! I am showing you 2 of them today: Girls Just Want To Have Fun and Boom Boom Pow.

Girls Just Want To Have Fun is a squishy creme that is coral, but leans more to the orange side rather than pink side of the coral spectrum. I think it will be good for the upcoming spring and summer months. I had to do 3 coats because the application was tricky with the squishiness of it.

Boom Boom Pow is a gold glitter that has 2 different sized hexagon glitters as well as 24 carat gold dust for some added shimmer. I honestly didn't even know it had 24 carat gold in it when I ordered. It's really pretty and I can't wait to try it over other colors as well! This is 2 coats just because I was wanting more big hexes. It was great in 1 coat as well.

No sun today :(

You can see the gold dust!

I used:

2 coats of Orly Nail Armor

3 coats of Deborah Lippmann Girls Just Want To Have Fun

2 coats of Deborah Lippmann Boom Boom Pow

1 coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast

What do you think? I have to add, that I am quite shocked at this only took 1 coat of topcoat to be completely smooth to the touch. So the Boom Boom Pow must not be a hungry sharp glitter and Cult Nails Wicked Fast is certainly staying my favorite top coat! 

You can get these and other Deborah Lippmann polishes at Apothica here! I can't wait to show you my haul post soon!

Zoya Bevin Gets Hypnotized by Essence Edward!

Good morning, readers! Hope you are all enjoying your last weekend day! I have some pretty layering to show you today. Wendy of Nailsalicious recently posted her Nails Of The Day featuring Chanel Nouvelle Vague topped with Essence Edward and I loved the look! I hadn't thought about wearing my Edward over a lighter color and couldn't wait to try it! Of course, I don't have the gorgeous Chanel Nouvelle Vague(which will cost you a whopping $90+ on ebay these days), but I did recently get Zoya Bevin from Bloom.com and it has a similar(although, it's greener toned) look.

After I put on Bevin, which is so pretty, I realized that I still hadn't tried out Cult Nails Hypnotize Me from my prize package! I must be crazy for waiting this long to try out that beauty! It added some gorgeous teeny glitters before I topped everything off with one coat of Essence Edward.

My hubby even complimented my on these nails yesterday! I must add, that these are much more sparkly in person and I hate when that happens! The holo bits in Edward don't really show up on camera that way so just take my word for it.

You can really see the gorgeous teeny glitters of Hypnotize Me under the bigger glitters of Edward!

What do you think? Sometimes it's nice to see what you can come up with when it comes to layering instead of stamping or other nail art. It's a nice change and I'm digging it! Thanks for reading!

Wooden Shoe Like To Know [what my favorite shoes look like]?

Hello readers! I have a fun post to share with you today! As I said in my last post, I chose to try  OPI Wooden Shoe Like To Know? out of my new polishes. Turns out, the base color is so close to my favorite TOMS shoes and since they are covered in different colored polka dots, I wanted to do a mani just like them!

Here is a picture of just my nails in the sun so you can see the gorgeous shimmer in OPI Wooden Shoe Like To Know?

Here are my TOMS shoes that I'm in love with:

Shady pic, the morning sun hadn't made it to the patio yet!

And here are a couple of the nails and shoes together:

Pretty cool, huh? I've been wanting to do my nails like these TOMS since I got them around the first week in December and am so glad I finally did! This is 2 coats of OPI Wooden Shoe Like To Know? and a ton of different colors for the dots. Feel free to ask what a specific color is and I'll let you know. Thanks so much for reading!
