Halloween(ish) Water Marble

Hi friends! OMG I cannot believe it is just a few days until Halloween. And then a month later Thanks Giving and so on until the end of the year. Holy crap time flies when you are an adult.

Anyway, if you follow me on IG, you may have seen a sneak peek at a water marble I was desperately trying to not eff up, and guess what? It was a success! By that I mean I managed to get a water marble design on all of my nails (except my thumb - but we're not gonna talk about that).

Twinsie Tuesday: Ruffian

Hey everyone! I am back with another Twinsie Tuesday post. This week's theme is Ruffian! If you don't know what a Ruffian manicure is, you will after we get through with you!

I didn't follow the strict definition of a Ruffian, but that's what is so awesome about art - it is open to interpretation! That is exactly what I did with my contribution.

Sally Hansen Big Peel Off Base Coat

Hi friends! I have a little different review post for you guys today. Every once in a while, I get a nail product other than polish and I try to add it to the mix of polish reviews and nail art posts. Especially when it comes in handy to those of us who are polish fiends!

A few weeks ago, I saw a display with some new items in the Sally Hansen "Big" line (i.e. Big Matte Base Coat) and one was the Big Pee Off Base Coat. And since I know what the general purpose of peel off base coats are for, I decided to give it a go.

Fair Maiden Polish High Priestess

Hey y'all! Hope you guys are having a great week! I have hit the end of my polish splurge and am sorting through so much polish right now, it's a little overwhelming. When you have been on a super tight no-buy for a few months, it can be super easy to go reckless when you get a chance to go shopping again.

Anyway, one of the several lovelies I snagged recently is a gorgeous shade from the Fair Maiden fall collection called High Priestess. The collection, called "Swords & Lace", consists of quite a few holos and a few other interesting shades all inspired by fairy tales and fierce lady characters. Right up my alley, folks.

Digital Nails Showtime, Synergy

Hi guys and gals! How are you all doing this fine Monday? Today I have a super sparkly polish from an awesome Indie maker here in Austin (and she is a SUPER awesome lady too!). So if your week isn't off to such a great start, maybe a glittery polish will put you in a good mood!

Scofflaw Nail Varnish Wrath Of Julia Child

Hi friends! I feel like I have been running around like the energizer bunny the last few days. Keeping up with the kiddo, writing, and blogging has got me going non-stop. But I am happy to be back posting more regularly. Polish has always been a little slice of color and happiness in my day-to-day routine and I have so much fun sharing it with you all!

Today I have a gorgeous fall shade from Scofflaw Nail Varnish. I tend to be very picky about my fall color choices, but the smokey plums and eggplant purples always do me in. So when I saw  a shade in the fall Scofflaw release that was a muted eggplant purple, my self control went out the window!

Twinsie Tuesday: Recreate A Fellow Twinsie's Mani

Hey y'all! Today's Twinsie theme is to recreate a mani from a fellow Twinsie. I decided to do an awesome Ikat mani from Lisa of The Polished Playground. I love Lisa's nail art and I think we have a similar taste for design.

KBShimmer Fall 2015 Collection (Partial)

Hey y'all! The weather is finally starting to cool down a little here and I LOVE IT. Omg, I know everybody and their dog is talking about fall weather, sweater weather, pumpkin spice latte weather (tho I'm more of a salted caramel kinda gal), but fall is awesome because Texas becomes bearable for a few months and I can go outside and enjoy the gorgeous landscapes without melting into a puddle.

And it means Fall collections! In the past, I wasn't one for vampy fall colors, but I've learned to appreciate a few shades that are fall appropriate. It also helps that Indies put out some incredible collections each season! That's what I have for you all today! I'm sure you have seen the KBShimmer Fall release that came out several weeks ago, but if not, I have a few select polishes from that bunch to share with you all!
