Hug Life is a cobalt blue jelly with pink shimmer and holo flakies. HI NEW FAVORITE. I'm sure I say that at least every collection, but what evs. This is such a cool, unique polish that lives up to the Takko name. Super easy application with two shimmery coats. Love it you guys.</div>

<i>Takko Lacquer Sweet Cheeks (thermal)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sweet Cheeks is a warm pink-to nude cream thermal. I love thermals, but I've never worn a cream thermal before this. Instant gradient perfection. And The pink to nude is so pretty. It applied smoothly with two coats for full coverage. A note about thermals: the color change effect will hold as long as you store the bottles out of direct lighting (helmer or something similar is ideal) and keep the temp below 75*. I have thermals going on two years now that still change color because I store them like this. Now that is not a guarantee, but it will help.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Mad Love is a mix of tiny gold, white and pink glitters with gold shimmer in a milky white base. You can wear this alone, as it is buildable, but I really wanted to see what it looked like as a topper over Sweet Cheeks. They are so cute together and remind me of Sakura blossoms. This is one flawless coat over Sweet Cheeks. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Salient is a mix of silver flakies and silver shimmer in a clear base. Now this topper is flat out gorgeous. It feels elegant and tasteful. I layered it over McTakko from the Winter collection and I have to say they are a perfect pair! And Sheryl designed Salient to be her very own wedding polish! How awesome is that? This is one easy coat over McTakko. It dries a bit dull, so be sure to topcoat so you get all the shiny effect of the silver flakies.</div>

Hey friends! Today, I have swatches of the Takko Lacquer Winter collection that is scheduled to be restocked on Monday the 25th along with a special 4 piece Valentine's Day collection (those swatches will be posted Monday morning).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In case you missed the Winter launch last time around, you will have another chance to grab five out of the six polishes originally released before the holidays. Ugly Christmas Sweater is sadly going into hibernation until the next holiday season. But that's okay, because the other five are gorgeous!</div>

<i>Takko Lacquer McTakko </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
McTakko is a whisper pink, almost white polish with teal green shimmer. This is one of the two shades made in collaboration with Amy (@mcpolish on IG) from <a href="http://www.polishetc.com/">Polish, Etc.</a> It is phenomenal and my favorite out of the bunch. It is so delicate and feminine, yet it retains that unique edge to it. That shimmer is killer! The formula is good, a bit streaky on the first coat. I used two thicker coats for full opacity. If you paint with thinner coats, you may need a third. And of course, be sure to top it off with a glossy topcoat to bring out the shimmery goodness!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Black Creek is a matte deep taupe grey with gold and pink shimmer. This is the second shade made in collaboration with Amy (@mcpolish on IG) from <a href="http://www.polishetc.com/">Polish, Etc.</a> Despite the textured appearance, this matte dries down to a silky smooth finish. I have never worn a matte that applied so nicely as this one! Every other matte I have used is a pain to apply and paints streaky or lumpy. This was smooth as butter. I used two coats. And if you want to use a top coat, you can, but not required. it is beautiful either way!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Ocean Glitter is a mix of bright blue micro glitters, holo flakies (!!!) and a scattered holo shimmer in a clear base. This is one of the two shades made in collaboration with Sarah (@25_sweetpea on IG) from <a href="http://www.25sweetpeas.com/">25 Sweet Peas</a>. I loooove the holo flakies in this! They make the polish SO sparkly. Formula was super smooth and applied easily. I did need 3 coats for full coverage, but since the application was so easy, I didn't have any trouble with the third coat.</div>

Sweetpea is a shimmery metallic pink with subtle linear holo and a magenta flash. This is the second shade made in collaboration with Sarah (@25_sweetpea on IG) from <a href="http://www.25sweetpeas.com/">25 Sweet Peas</a>. If you are a pink lover, this is the ultimate sparkly girly pink! The magenta flash is so hard to capture on camera, but so so pretty in person. This is two coats with a smooth application. It does dry down a bit dull, so be sure to top coat it for all that shimmery goodness!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Daydreaming is a light periwinkle with green shimmer. Think of it as a cousin to Curiouser & Curiouser - they both have that amazing green shimmer. Ugh. Out of all of them, this one is the thickest and I did need to add a few drops of thinner to my bottle for a smooth application. I ended up doing three coats because I had some patchy spots around the cuticle area on my nails, but that shimmer is worth it! Depending on how you paint, you may need a third as well. And seal it all in with a shiny top coat!</div>

Hey guys and gals! How is your Monday? Aside from waking up to the sad death of David Bowie, my days is starting out quite well. The cup of coffee I am drinking is helping out with that, lol!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I have something quite fun and definitely sparkly. Unless you have been avoiding the online nail world, you have probably seen the new Birthstone polishes from KBShimmer. They are all made out of highly reflective metallic flakies with a dusting of holographic sparkle and correspond to the particular gem or stone for each month. My birthday is in July, so my birthstone is a Ruby. And because I am a teenager trapped in a grown-up body, I must have ALL the birthstone polishes.</div>

Ruby is a bright red with pink undertones metallic flakie with a dusting of holographic sparkle. It has a serious high shine foiled finish that literally sparkles like a gemstone in sunlight. I tried my damn best to get that sparkle to show up on camera, but this polish is so shiny, that it was nearly impossible. The formula and application were superb for something with this much bling. It applied super smooth with no issues. I used two coats for full opacity. The red base does stain a bit, so be careful around your cuticle lines and sidewalls. This is shiny on it's own, but I do think a good top coat brings out the sparkle that much more. As per usual, I used KBShimmer Clearly On Top for my swatches.</div>

Hi friends! My first post of 2016! What a crazy thought. I have been doing this whole blog thing for quite a number of years (to do a blog about nail polish that is). Although it is evolving, I still love this little space, and I love sharing beautiful polish just as much - I'm just too busy to commit to super frequent posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I still plan to share swatches and nail art, so never fear! Like today I have a seriously drool worthy polish that I wore for NYE - ILNP Juliette.</div>

Juliette is a rosey copper metallic flakie with a scattering of holographic flakies thrown in for maximum sparkle. This is one of the new Ultra Metallics from ILNP and holy shit is is the most sparkliest thing I have ever worn. No lie. And it was a dream to apply. This is two super smooth coats. No dragging, no clumping, no thick goopy mess. Just pure polish perfection. And it is hella shiny on its own, but I always add a top coat when ever I polish.<br />

Hi friends! Happy Holidays to you all! Today is the Twinsie Tuesday group's special holiday post. This year, it is a general holiday inspired theme as opposed to something more specific. I prefer the open-ended themes because I have more wiggle room if an idea doesn't work out - like this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I legit tried three different designs and a total of five manis before one worked out. Ugh. And the one that did was much more simplistic than what I wanted, but I'm not gonna argue after four horrid attempts!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On a sadder note, this will be my last post with the Twinsies. I am leaving the group because I can no longer honor the commitments required. Blogging has lost some of it's sparkle and while I want to continue posting, I don't feel as motivated to post as frequently as I had before. Not to mention, I am writing a book and that takes up a LOT more time than you would think.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I say farewell to my ladies and wish them the best of luck. And I hope you all will continue to read their blogs (and mine) and enjoy excellent nail art!</div>

Hey y'all! So I have a big swatch post for you guys today! Takko Lacquer is restocking the fall collection this week as well as a few new colors. When the fall collection released, my package was stuck at a USPS processioning facility and I wasn't able to get them swatched before hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since they are being restocked, I figured now would be a great time to share them and we can all ogle over them together!</div>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paper Cuts is a deep brown leaning red crelly. It is the first cream/crelly from Takko Lacquer and such a great shade for fall/winter. It is in the ox blood family, but it has a little bit more brown undertones (at least on me) and is super vampy and sexy! The formula is buttery smooth and being the first of it's kind, Sheryl knocked it out of the park! I am excited to see more Takkitos like this in the future!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Filthy Rich is a black jelly with golden flakies. Again a super seasonably appropriate polish from Takko! This one will be perfect for a NYE mani. I usually don't go for black polish, but black and gold is one of my favorite color combos, so this one is a winner in my book! Again, smooth formula, excellent application. 2 coats for full opacity. </div>

Coquettish is a soft mauve pink with turquoise shimmer. Oh, you guys. This one is SO pretty. Pictures do not do it justice. I know I have like ten favorite Takkitos, but hello number eleven! I can't even with that shimmer. Perfect application, 2 coats. Easy, breezy.</div>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Matcha Latte is a milky jade green with pink shimmer. The shimmer is similar to <a href="http://painted-nail.blogspot.com/2015/06/takko-lacquer-summer-2015-collection.html">Floridazed</a> from the summer collection. The color is just gorgeous - I can't get over that green! It applied perfectly with 2 coats for full coverage.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rise & Grind is a mustard yellow with real silver flecks. Now this color isn't for everyone, and definitely falls into the "ugly pretty" category. But if you are brave enough, give it a try! It is like a little bottle of sunshine! The silver flecks are so shiny and they add such depth to this polish! I wasn't sure if I would like it, but it just makes me so happy! The application and formula were identical to the rest of the collection.</div>

Rhinestone Eyes is a dusty lilac with real silver flecks. On me, this is the perfect nude shade and holy shit - new fav. Top of the list fav! I am SO in love with these pale cool toned nudes that I never want to take them off! This is my pick from the collection even though every color is perfection. Identical formula and application as well.</div>

Whoo! That was a long post. But I'm sure you all are drooling now - I know I am! All of these will be restocked December 9th at 8 pm EST so set those alarms and camp out on your computer so you can snag one or five.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few things to note - As with the summer collection, all the Takkitos are now infused with Vitamin E. It does affect the formula slightly. These do dry down more satin than most other polish and the consistency is slightly thicker than previous Takko Lacquer polish. It is not problematic at all. Sheryl knows how to create a killer polish and I have NEVER had issues with the consistency. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, going forward, Takko Lacquer polishes will now be in a smaller bottle and will have a price change to reflect the difference in amount.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again, restock happens December 9th at 8pm EST!!</div>

Hey friends! Hope you all are doing well and enjoying the holiday season! The last week of November was a hectic blur of food, family, travels and working toward my writing goal of 50k words. I am pleased to say that I accomplished my goal, ending the month with 50,017 words written of my story. I'm not finished with the rough draft, but I am won't be pressed for time as much as I had been. So that means i will be able to post more on the blog!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

In fact, I have a nice skittlette to share today. It has been a while since I did something like this and I forgot how much I love doing them.</div>

Hi friends, happy Moday! I am trying to get a few things posted before the holiday weekend. I will be in East Texas visiting my family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So today, I have three polishes from the new KBShimmer Winter Collection. It is a huge release with 14 shades in all. There are a few glitter toppers, holographic finishes, creams, crellies and more! </div>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Yule Worthy is a metallic plum brown with a sprinkle of holo glitter. This is by far my favorite out of the three and one of my favs from the entire collection. It is stunning and such a great polish for fall/winter. My camera hates metallics & holos so my pictures don't do it justice at all. But trust me when I say, it is extraordinary in person! The formula is smooth and applied nicely. This is two coats followed up with KBShimmer Clearly On Top - my go to top coat.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Toying Around is a glitter topper in a clear base filled with every color and shape of glitter you can think of! It is a fun polish if glitter toppers are you thing, and even better is that $4 of every bottle is being donated to Toys For Tots. For the application, I dabbed the glitter on and then spread it for an even layer. I didn't have to fish to get glitter out, but if you want a particular shape, you may have to work at it.</div>

Coal In One is a charcoal gray polish with a linear holo finish. The holo is super strong and full of rainbows, but as I mentioned, my camera doesn't play nice with these types of polishes. But if you are lacking a smokey gray holo in your stash, this is a beautiful choice. The formula is smooth and applied perfectly. This is two coats and again topped with COT - which doesn't dull holos!</div>

Hi everyone! Despite my lack of posting, November is flying by for me. I am on the last two weeks of NaNoWriMo (the reason for my sporadic posting this month) and will hopefully have a completed first draft of a novel by the end of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It took a little longer than I originally planned, but I have the second part of my massive swatch/review of Madam Glam polishes.</div>

Beyond Gorgeous is an aqua and silver holo glitter mix in a clear base. This is your standard super shiny, sparkly glitter bomb polish. And it is reflective! I apologize for the glare, but that's how it goes with these kinds of polish! It is very pretty, if this is your thing. The formula was a little thick and patchy. I had to dab the second coat so I could cover up any bald spots. And as with most glitter bombs, I had to use multiple layers of top coat to get it smooth.</div>

Text Me Later is a blackened purple crelly. This is a perfect fall shade, especially if you are a purple lover like myself! The formula was more along the lines of a jelly, even though it is more opaque. I did have some patchy spot on the first coat, and tbh, probably needed a third one. But this is two coats shown with top coat.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Endless Night is a blackened inky blue cream. It is so dark, you guys! I couldn't even tell what color it was until I swatched it. And holy crap does it stain! I did a test swatch when I first got the package and with only wearing it a few minutes, my nail was already stained blue when I took it off. For the swatches I used a coat of Yellow Stopper base coat and my standard base coat - KBShimmer Basic Training. That prevented it from staining my nail plate, but I still had stains along my cuticles and skin. Boo! Since it is so dark and pigmented, I only needed one coat. But yeah, stains like a mofo.</div>

So Nude is a pinky nude crelly. The color is perfection and by far my favorite out of these four. It is perfect for a subtle or work-appropriate look. Formula-wise, it is very similar to Text Me Later, but without the patchyness. In fact, it applied beautifully!</div>

Hi guys and gals! Hope you all are having a great Friday! I am so glad it's the weekend, I need a break from running all over the place! Plus the weather is rainy and chilly, and I loooove to curl up and read on days like this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I have part one of a two part post filled with swatches of polish from Madam Glam. I received a total of eight polishes to review and to save my cuticles and my sanity, I split them into two posts. And because I can't wait, I started with my favorite colors first!</div>

I Love Winter is a blackened brown jelly with pink and orange micro glitters. It is a gorgeous, shimmery shade perfect for this time of year! I am usually not a fan of the darker colors like this, but am a total sucker for a good shimmer! The formula was goo, on the thicker side. It applied evenly with no dragging or clumping. It does dry down to a rough texture and I used two coats of KBShimmer Clearly On Top to get it smooth and glassy.</div>

Vintage Girl is a dusty mauve purple cream. This color gives me life! It is utter perfection and i cannot help but be all grabby hands when I find a polish in this color family. This one dried done a bit darker and more purple than I was expecting, but still oh so gorgeous! The formula was very thick - almost stringy. I had to be very precise and careful with my application so I didn't get bubbles or lumps. When I use it again, I will be adding some thinner to it. This is two coats followed by top coat.</div>

Pastel Sky is a light and airy blue cream. The color is perfect. It is simply a very light blue without being chalky. I love it, but blues give me lobster hands. Doesn't mean I won't be wearing it, though! The formula was the same as Vintage Girl, thick and almost stringy. Again, thinner is the best thing to help in this situation. If a polish applies nicely, but is too thick for your taste, a few drops of thinner (not acetone) will fix the issue.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Look At The Stars is a royal blue jelly. It is so squishy and so blue and so pretty! I have a soft spot for blue jellies. Always a fun polish to play with. The formula was good, smooth application and not at all patchy like some jellies can be. It did take four coats to get the opacity shown. It's not quite opaque, but acceptable. The dry time. most likely due to the number of coats, was a little longer than the rest. Even with my top coat.</div>

I am pretty happy with these polishes. Aside from the thickness of the creams (which can simply be solved by thinner) the colors are great!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a few days, I will have the other four colors for review and a special surprise for you all! But you'll have to wait til then to see it.</div>

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.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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).</div>

Water marbling is SO HARD, you guys. Like no joke. I have been trying to do a water marble for about a month now before I finally got a full hand design. And yes I know that they don't really match, but I don't care cause I did it!!!</div>

I was trying to use more Halloween-inspired colors and I frickin love the the China Glaze neons from this past summer. They do spread a lot better than any other polish I was trying to use for this look.</div>

Have you tried water marble nails? Do you have any tips on how to get polish to spread faster? That was my overall issue. </div>

If you are going to try this at home - gather a big bucket of patience cause this is not for the faint of heart or the impatient polisher!</div>

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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />

Yes, I did use these two colors a while back in a <a href="http://painted-nail.blogspot.com/2015/09/monochromatic-floral-stamped-notd.html">stamped mani</a>, but I can't help it! They are so so pretty together!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I decided to do a dotted Ruffian, because I wanted to be cool and do something different. I actually think this way looks awesome and I am probably gonna do it again!</div>

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!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<i>Sally Hansen Big Peel Off Base Coat</i></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you aren't familiar with "peel off base coats," they are used for chunky glitter polish so that when you are ready to take the glitter off, you can simply peel it off instead of soaking it off with acetone wrapped in foil. Most are glue-based products creating the peel-off effect. The Sally Hansen version is no different.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I tested it with various glitters and even a couple of creams to see how well it performed. I also did a wear test to see if it was worth using as a go-to base coat as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The directions say to apply a thick layer to clean and dry nails, let it dry completely and paint as normal. I found that applying one thick layer takes longer to dry than two thinner layers. After the first time, I used it this way. The base coat is dry when it is no longer white - while it wont be totally transparent, it won't look like my swatch photo above. Once it was dry, I polished as usual. I had no issues with polish application on either the glitters or the creams. It actually worked really well as a ridge filler! Wear time was okay - not fantastic. I was able to get about 24hrs of wear before it started lifting along the side walls of my nails - and this was after I had taken a shower.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Removal is pretty straight forward. I use either an orange stick, or something like that to start lifting the polish off at my cuticle line. It peels off easily and if it was completely dry when you first polished, it should peel off in one go. It didn't take off the top layers of my nail plate either - which is always something to be wary of so you don't weaken your nail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Overall, I think it is a good product if you wear glitter polish often or you change your polish a lot. I use it when I have multiple products to swatch so I lessen my exposure to acetone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As far as I know, this is part of the Sally Hansen permanent line and it can be found with the other "Big" products.</div>

Hey y'all! Hope you guys are having a great week! I have hit the end of my polish splurge and am sorting through <i>so much </i>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.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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. </div>

High Priestess is a strawberry red crelly with orange & pink shimmer. SHUT UP. Because this is a red I fricking love. If you read my blog, you know that there are reds that are few and far between that grab my attention. This one surpasses them all! I wore it all weekend and that alone is a huge deal, so you know it is a worthy polish, lol! The formula was perfection, smooth and buttery. It applied easily with two coats for full coverage.</div>

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!</div>

<i>Digital Nails Showtime, Synergy</i></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
Showtime, Synergy is a pink jelly filled with holographic pink and purple glitters inspired by...wait for it...Jem and the Holograms! Not the crap movie that is being released, but the glorious 80's cartoon that I LOVED MORE THAN AIR. This polish is based off of Jerrica's (aka Jem's) earrings that connected her to the computer Synergy that allowed her to change into Jem and rock out in true 80's fashion. It is the perfect representation and I love it so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The formula was perfection. Jelly/glitter combos like this can have issues with being thick or chunky, but it applied smooth and even. I used three coats for full opacity and maximum sparkle. And boy does this baby sparkle! Jem would be proud. I did use a couple of coats of my fav top coat to sooth out all that glitter and bring out the shine.</div>

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!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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!</div>

<i>Scofflaw Nail Varnish Wrath Of Julia Child</i></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Wrath Of Julia Child is a dusty eggplant purple with silver shimmer and a sprinkling of blue glitters. One of the biggest reason I love Scofflaw so much is the unique and interesting creations they release. I have yet to see anything that is boring or overdone in <i>any </i>of their collections. This one is no exception. It is simply an amazing polish! The formula is a little on the thicker side due to the shimmer and glitter, but a few drops of thinner totally fixes the issue. After that I had a perfect application, needing two coats for full coverage. It does dry down a bit rough (again due to the glitter) but a generous coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top smoothed it out and gave it a glossy finish.<br />

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.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
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!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Dark & Twisty is a black jelly filled with small rainbow glitters. For a black, it is such a fun polish! I could see it used for lots of not-too Halloween nail art designs, or if you like black and sparkly things, it is a definite winner! The formula was good, two coats for full opacity, no digging or fishing for glitter, no clumps or dragging. Smooth application and that awesome jelly squish. I topped it off with a generous coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top as it did dry down a bit bumpy from the glitter.</div>

<i>KBShimmer Breaking Blues</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Breaking Blues is a saturated vivid blue with a hint of purple. On the PR info sheet it was described as a deep periwinkle, and honestly that is pretty spot on. The purple undertones make this blue really stand out among the cobalt crowd. I can safely say, that aside from Baker St., this is my hands-down fav blue! The formula was on the thicker side, a little too much for my taste. I did add a few drops of thinner to the bottle and then was able to get a good even application. I find that a lot of the KBShimmer creams have the same consistency. Super glossy when it dried, but as per habit, I applied COT to aid the dry time and seal it.</div>

<i>KBShimmer Be Scareful (glow in the dark)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Be Scareful is a white crelly with a mix of orange and black glitters in various shapes (hex, circle, triangle, star and shard). It may sound like a lot, but it actually works really well! This is a really fun Halloween-inspired crelly, much like the white crellies that KBShimmer is known for and even better, it glows in the dark! For that alone, I love it! Standard formula for a glitter/crelly polish. I needed two & 1/2 coats dabbed for full coverage. I did have to fish out the bigger glitters - stars and triangle in order to get a good representation of each kind on my nails, but the finished look is really cute. Again, a nice, thick coat of COT to even out the glitters and seal the nail.</div>

Hey y'all! So jelly polishes are making a comeback in the nail world with OPI color paints, Essie color silks and the Sally Hansen x Rodarte NYFW trio. The cool thing about jelly polish is that you can do some really pretty "watercolor" looks with them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have the Rodarte trio for review today, and while the colors may seem a little unusual, they make for a really pretty, delicate mani!</div>

Rose Glass is a soft muted pink jelly. I looooove this color you guys! OMG the nude/pink trend right now is causing me serious flutters. I don't get it either. I love bright, vibrant colors, but there is a huge soft spot in my heart for the subdued shades like this. Oh and that squishy jelly finish! Surprisingly, the formula is really good. This is three med-thin coats. I did have to wait a while between each coat so I didn't get bubbles, but that is standard with jellies.</div>

Beige Glass is a warm nude brown jelly. The color reminds me of a latte. Yum! This one was a surprise favorite. I didn't think the color would be very flattering, but it is! Same formula as Rose Glass. Three med-thin coats with dry time in between.</div>

Gold Glass is a buttery yellow jelly. This is the one out of the trio that I wasn't really fond of. The color is just to hard for me to pull off, but if you love a good yellow jelly this might work for you! I did need four coats and I still had a little VNL but the formula was just as good as the other two.</div>

I wanted to do a little watercolor nail art with the trio, because I really dig these colors together. Not what you'd usually expect in a fall collection, but with the muted color ways of this season, I think they are very on trend.</div>

Used:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sally Hansen CSM - Debut-tint</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sally Hansen CSM - Rose Glass</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sally Hansen CSM - Beige Glass</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sally Hansen CSM - Yellow Glass</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I started with a thin layer of Debut-tint, a golden shimmer topper and let it completely dry. I took a ziplock bag (or if you have the new Ubermat) and painted squares of my fav top coat KBShimmer Clearly On Top to make decals. While the tc was still wet, I blobbed on each color of the trio and gently swirled them together. Not so much that I blended the colors, but just enough to kind of meld them together. There is a pic on my IG for reference. Once the squares were dry, I painted a layer of COT on each nail, pealed the decals off the bag and placed them gently onto the wet nail bed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
From there, I continued on as if they were typical decal strips, removing the excess with an orange stick, cleaning up the edges with acetone and a small brush and finally adding another layer of COT to seal it all together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The finished look is quite subtle, but it captures that delicate watercolor look that I was going for. And I love it! I especially love the pops of bright yellow swirled through out the muted pink and brown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have yet to see these in stores, but if you do come across, definitely pick up Rose Glass. It is such a winner!</div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">Hey everyone! The Twinsies are going vampy today for our weekly post. Now usually, I am not known to wear "vampy" colors. I like vibrant, bright shades on my nails, basically year-round. But I do have a few polishes in my stash that fall in the vampy </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">category. I decided to go with one that I haven't worn in for ever and it was one of the first indies I ever got. </span>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">I'm not sure if it is even available on the KBShimmer website, but if you ever see it in a destash/blog sale, it is definitely one to have. The combination between the rich dark burgundy base color and the electric blue glitters is totally killer and sucks me in every time!</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey guys & gals! So it's been a while since I have made any polish purchases. Colourpop make up was taking up a <b>lot</b> of my budget. But if you have tried Colourpop, then you understand, lol! </span></div>

<span style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Coquettish Creature is a smokey gray jelly loaded with tiny magenta flecks. The really cool thing is that those amazing flecks have a little duo-chrome shift to an orangey gold color. It is amazing! I am usually not one for darker colors like this, but seriously, those flakies got me! The formula was good, not too thick and applied smoothly. I used two coats and topped it off with a coat of KBShimmer COT for extra shiny goodness.</span></span></div>

For today's post I have a super pretty design that I did for a wedding that my husband and I went to last weekend. I recently grabbed a few beauties from the China Glaze fall collection - The Great Outdoors, and two looked so good together that I couldn't resist using them.</span></span>

<span style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;">Hey everyone! I have been on a stamping kick lately. This week I have two stamped manis to post - and that never happens, lol! Anyway, today's Twinsie theme is "Inspired by another hobby other than nail polish." I am a total yarn snob and love to crochet and knit. I remembered having an image plate from Bundle Monster that reminded me of a yarn tangle and promised myself I would use it one day. So today is that day!</span></div>

Super cute, right? I have almost as much yarn as I do polish. What can I say, I am a sucker for colorful things and I am a highly creative person. What ever I am doing, it has to be artistic.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey guys & gals! I have a polish today that I am super excited about. I have wanted to try the brand Trust Fund Beauty for a while now, but always forgot when I was buying stuff on-line. I got a bottle in my September Glam Bag from Ipsy and am now totally hooked. One of the reasons I love Ipsy so much is that I get to try out really good stuff that I either forgot about or never thought to try (still loving the LA Fresh Good Night cream omg).</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I wore this beauty for a few days (it is even making an appearance in my TT mani for tomorrow) and am totally smitten!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Elegantly Wasted is a dusty periwinkle cream. It leans a bit more purple and a tad dustier than my photos show. It is a gorgeous, simple shade and I adore it! The formula is divine, creamy and smooth, applying flawlessly. This is two buttery coats followed by a coat of KBShimmer COT.</span></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am so glad I finally got a chance to try out this polish. The only downside is that now it is on my radar and the fall collection sneak I have seen on the Trust Fund IG is gorgeous! Also, if you don't follow them on IG, you should! Not only do you get pretty polish to look at, but they post HILARIOUS snarky things. Definitely a hi-light in my feed.</span></div>

<span style="orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi friends! Well I actually did it. I pulled out my brushes and did some intricate free hand nail art! I had <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com/2015/08/pink-black-and-white-gel-nail-art.html">this mani</a> from Sarah at Chalkboard Nails pinned for ever and since I have all the awesome neons (except the blue) from KBShimmer sitting on my desk, I figured I might as well play!</span></span></div>

<span style="orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I basically followed Sarah's instructions to achieve this design. It's fairly easy, all that is required are some excellent brushes and a semi steady hand (you can go back and correct any mistakes with the white polish). My lines aren't perfect by any means, but it still looks awesome! </span>Definitely<span style="font-family: inherit;"> one of my favorite designs that I have done. And it looks killer in person!</span></span></div>
