Takko Lacquer Heart Shaped Box

Hi everyone! Today I have a super cool new Takko Lacquer that you may not have seen yet. Heart Shaped Box was released as a "mystery polish" during the last restock at the end of January. Sheryl was kind enough to include it in an awesome Valentine's Day gift package, along with Absinthe and a few goodies. And of course I swatched it for you guys to drool over!

Twinsie Tuesday: Polish Received In A Swap

Hey guys and gals! Hope you all are doing well and staying warm! It is cold here in my little part of the world, and if it is cold here, then it is frigid everywhere else!

Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is "polish received in a swap" and I happen to have quite a few awesome polishes from swaps with my fellow Twinsies! The two I decided to use for today's post came from Jessica and a former Twinsie - Cordia.

Takko Lacquer Absinthe

Hey y'all! Man what a whirl-wind week and weekend this has been! The kiddo was sick again, I finished an amazing book, spent a lovely day with my husband, played with some awesome nail polish, drank copious amounts of coffee, went bowling and tried to take a nap. I feel dizzy just thinking about all of that! I am very much a homebody, so it doesn't take a whole lot to overwhelm me, lol!

Today I have a (sort of) new Takkito to share. Absinthe was launched in December along with several other polishes, but it was mistakenly left out of my swatch package. And since Sheryl is super fantastic and so awesome, she sent it to me along with Heart Shaped Box and a few goodies for Valentine's Day. So now I get to do a proper review of this beauty for you guys!

Twinsie Tuesday: Match Your Nails To Your Purse

Hi friends! How was your weekend? Mine was actually kind of boring, but I got a new book - Red Rising - that totally made the weekend worth it. It is sooooo good! Okay, enough book talk. 

Since today is Tuesday, I have my portion of the Twinsie Tuesday theme post. This week we are matching our nails to our purses. I am not really a "purse" person. I carry one more out of necessity than fashion. In fact, it is a pretty boring purse. But my wallet is way cute and worthy of being the inspiration for some nail art!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hey guys and gals! Happy Valentine's Day! I wanted to wish all of you a wonderful day filled with love - from anyone you hold dear, a partner, friend or family member. The world needs a little more love, so let's use today to spread some around! And since this is a nail blog, after all, I figured I could do that with a sweet and romantic NOTD for Valentine's!

Apparently, I have been subconsciously drawn to French manicures. The NOTD I did for new year's eve was a french, and so is today's!

Twinsie Tuesday: Anti-Valentine's Day

Hi friends! I am back to posting the Twinsie Tuesday themes! I felt like I had missed so much when the kiddo and I were sick. I know life happens, but I don't like skipping out so much because of it.

Today's theme is Anti-Valentine's Day. Although I am a big fan of supporting love in any form (not just your significant other), I kinda got into this week's theme! Lately I have seen gorgeous red/black gradients floating around Pinterest - this one in particular. Even though it was meant for a Halloween look, I think the idea translates really well for an Anti-Valentine's one.

Hare Polish Rosa Meditativa Gold Label

Hey guys and gals! Hope you all are having a very happy Monday! As I mentioned a few posts back, I have built up a few untrieds over the last couple of months, and I am on a mission to swatch them all! There's not really a whole lot, I think I have just a few more posts after today. But I like having a swatch resource on the blog, so I am making my way through and doing just that.

Today's polish is from one of my fav Indie brands - Hare Polish. Nikole consistently creates beautiful and unique polish. Rosa Meditativa from the Surreal New Year collection (three gorgeous polishes inspired by Salvador Dali) is no exception. I was lucky enough to snag a gold label from the initial NY launch, yay!

Oh, by the way, I am back to rounded nails. I have come to the realization that squares aren't for me. I prefer the way they look when rounded and have a lot less trouble with breaks and things. So yay for round nubbins! I cannot wait for them to grow out a bit more so I can properly shape them. Ahhh...the life of a nail blogger, lol!

Tiny Golden Triangle Charms from Born Pretty

Hey guys and gals! Sorry about the lack of posts lately. The little was sick with a head cold last week and I, naturally, quickly caught it! We are both feeling loads better (except for a cough that won't go away) and I felt good enough to do something with my nails, woohoo!

Today I have some fun little nail charms from Born Pretty. I love the tiny sized charms, they are perfect for adding a little something extra to a simple mani.
