Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a lovely holiday season. :) Today I've got some pics of a very beautiful polish that I'm lucky to have, Lynnderella Snow Angel.
How gorgeous! This was a while ago, but I'm pretty sure this is one coat of Snow Angel over OPI I Vant To Be A-Lone Star. This is one of the most unique polishes I own! How did you guys fare over Christmas, if you celebrate? I got a few polishes myself that I can't wait to show you! I hope you're all well, I kind of feel like I'm talking to myself. I have to apologize for my extended unexplained absence, and I really don't have a good reason to justify it. Things got a little busy and stressful for a while, and after life had settled down I had been gone for so long that I felt guilty and I wasn't sure if I would be welcome back, so I just stayed away. But I'm hoping you'll all forgive me and I can get back into the swing of this whole blogging thing. :)

All right everyone! How are we today? Well, I hope?
For my first nail post since returning from my hiatus, I've decided to show you guys a stunner.
The lovely
Polish Amor gifted me a decant of
Lynnderella's Snow Angel, and I decided now was the perfect time to show it off to you guys!
I started with OPI I Vant to Be A-Lone Star as the base.
Then I applied two dreamy coats of Snow Angel on top and proceeded to take far too many pictures.
Wow, my nails are longer than I remembered! I've cut them down much shorter now. Anyway, as you can see, Snow Angel is completely gorgeous and I just love-love-LOOOVE it! It's so delicate and it makes visions of sugarplum fairies dance in my head. Many thanks to Iris for graciously sharing this beauty with me!
Okay guys, what have I missed in nail world? As you can probably tell I haven't really been keeping up with things, I need to get back into commenting on all of your wonderful blogs and being in the know! Fill me in, peeps!
So today I have some delicious glittery goodness for you all. A little late for a holiday polish, perhaps, but c'est la vie. I do what I want.
das rite you tell em Louis
(I apologize in advance for the deluge of gifs featuring One Direction that will no doubt soon appear on my blog)
This is one coat of Color Club Jingle Jangle over one of the old Urban Outfitters polishes that they don't sell anymore. It's a nice blurple. Jingle Jangle is soooo pretty, it's fully of tiny blue and lavender hexes and it's absolutely gorgeous! I really love the combination, they're so pretty together. Blurple is just a really great color. It's my second favorite, right after turquoise.
So whaddup dawgs this whole contest thing is highly overrated and I do not recommend it lol. I always forget something... I should have asked you for your emails when voting because yeah when I get three responses that are exactly identical right in a row... it looks a little suspicious aight. I mean really... three people just happened to choose the exact same names within 30 seconds of each other.
EXCEPT NOT AT ALL
SO DON'T BE PULLIN THOSE FANCY TRICKS YO I'M ONTO YOU LIKE WHITE ON RICE.
Ugh but seriously guys that's like ridiculously obnoxious and not smooth at all. So let's just be honest here and everything will be full of sunshine and rainbows and we can all have a gigantic picnic and eat cake and live happily ever after.
ALL RIGHT I'M DONE NOW sorry when I get on a roll like this it's kind of hard to stop sometimes.
So I've showed you this baby before but wowza I think this time it looks even better. I decided to layer it over NYC Midnight Amethyst to give it more purple-osity and I think it was quite a successful experiment.
This is one coat of Fowl Play over two coats of Midnight Amethyst. How freakin' sezzy is this, guys... OMG. It's too good. IT'S TOO GOOD.
TOO GOOD.
I REST THIS POST.
Sorry for my spontaneous absence! My lingering cold is finally waning, and last night I went to go see the HUNGER GAMES premiere! It was really good, not as mindblowingly fantastic as I was hoping it would be, but considering how much stuff there is crammed into the book I think they did the best they could. I liked it a lot and it was the first midnight premiere I've ever gone to. It was reeeally crowded but tons of fun!
So today I have for you a polish that I've showed you before, but I took some better pictures of it. It's a very lovely one, Revlon Facets of Fuchsia.
Isn't she pretty? This is three coats. She looks nicer in pictures than in person. I think I should probably try layering her over another color, but I don't know if I have exactly the right base color that I want. What do you guys layer Facets of Fuchsia over?
Wow I have really been terrible about not replying to your comments. I'll take care of that this weekend, I promise! And I owe you guys some nail art. I've been so incredibly lazy lately it's ridiculous. I'll get a good night's sleep and then hopefully feel more inspired. :)
And today I owe another beautiful woman a massive thank-you for being so fantastic. A Polished Touch was kind enough to hunt Revlon Whimsical and Naughty (apparently a Perplex lookalike, who was in turn a dupe for Chanel Paradoxal) for me when I commented on how beautiful Whimsical was and how disappointed I was that I couldn't find it. And as a surprise, she threw in Joe Fresh Twilight! OMG! Holy freaking amazing, Batman!
So another THANK YOU I LOVE YOU YOU'RE THE BEST EVER to A Polished Touch for being snazztastic.
And here is this beauty in all her glory: Revlon Whimsical.
I did one... or maybe two... ohgod I don't rememberrr... let's say 1.5 coats of Whimsical over Butter London Lady Muck, which is a beautiful grey-blue shimmer.
Whimsical is seriously the cutest thing ever. It reminds me of cotton candy and lollipops and marshmallows and fluffy little kittens. And the name! Oh goodness, the name is adorable. I love everything about this polish. It is gloriously beautiful and I plan to try it over many different bases just for giggles.
Oh, and then I mattified it... yeah, I kinda wish I hadn't 'cause I liked it better shiny, looking back at it now in pictures. Whenever I mattify things, I always ending up liking the shiny version better in the end. *sigh*
So, what do you think? And while we're at it, let's hear it for RAOKs!
A Polished Touch and
Polish Amor made my world
a little a LOT brighter. :)
So let's share the warm fuzzies. What's the nicest thing someone's done for you?
So today I will show you save me in a much better light, i.e., SUNLIGHT. PRAISE THE GOOD LORD JESUS THERE ARE FINALLY SUN SHOTS AGAIN.
These look kinda weird though, I think all the bedazzling sparkly blingage kind of scared my poor wittle camera so they all have this strange icy cold cast to them and it looks like it's 20 degrees outside (Fahrenheit), but at least I don't look jaundiced or sunburned so that's a plus.
Ain't she purdy!? I started with one coat of Wet n' Wild Black Creme and then just kind of smashed on Save Me as best I could to make this gradient. Urgh it's just so pretty! It wasn't perfectly flat, of course, so I probably would have picked this all off in another few hours or so but isn't it just BOOTEEFUL.
Moral of the story: Save Me is beautiful and you should all buy me 1,000 backup bottles.
So today I have the lone two beauties I got from the Nicki Minaj collection. We'll start with Fly, which was the only one I originally wanted.
Fly is an absolutely breathtaking aqua crelly, it's absolutely beautiful and so shiny. The formula was glorious and the color is so much more unique than it appears in photos. Something about it is just incredibly special, I think. This is two perfect coats. I felt like I could hear the heavenly choirs of angels singing in the background while I was painting my nails.
And now, we have Save Me. I did not want this one at all when I saw the swatches of it. I don't like bar glitter and it really didn't appeal to me whatsoever. I felt safe from temptation. And then... I saw it in person.
UGH you guys I just can't... I didn't do Save Me half the justice it deserved in these pics (but luckily I'll be featuring it in tomorrow's mani so you can really revel in its true glory). It's just so beautiful. I saw it in the aisle of Kroger and it was just so sparkly and rainbowy and magical and I just COULDN'T RESIST. I knew this lovely would be mine as soon as I laid eyes on her. I just knew. Save Me is full of small silver glitter and filled with yellow, pink, blue, and holographic bar glitter. It's just fantastic.
I can't even.
I CAN'T.
