Takko Lacquer Winter 2015 Collection

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).

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!

KBShimmer Birthstone Collection - Ruby

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!

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.

ILNP Juliette

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.

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.

Takko Lacquer Fall 2015 Collection

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.

Since they are being restocked, I figured now would be a great time to share them and we can all ogle over them together!

Hey guys & gals! So it's been a while since I have made any polish purchases. Colourpop make up was taking up a lot of my budget. But if you have tried Colourpop, then you understand, lol! 

Well all the indies have been releasing their fall collections over the past few weeks and I just couldn't pass up some of them - especially this one from Pahlish. Once you see it, you'll understand why!

Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired By Your BFF

Hi guys! quick TT post today. This week's theme is inspired by our BFFs. I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful group of ladies who support me, inspire me and make me smile on a daily basis. So this many is for all of them.

Takko Lacquer Summer 2015 Collection Part 2

Hey guys and gals! Today I have the second part of the new Takko Lacquer summer collection! On Monday, I showed you all the neons and bright of the bunch, and now I have a nude, a pastel and a jelly, oh my!

I also have for review the new Takko Lacquer top coat! Since all takkitos are now infused with Vitamin E, they dry down to a satin finish, and need to be topped with a glossy top coat to bring out the beauty of the polish. Sugar High is a high shine scented top coat give all takkitos that glossy finish!

Takko Lacquer Summer 2015 Collection Part 1

Hey guys and gals! So if you have come to my blog looking for the new Takko Lacquer summer release, you are in for a treat! Today I have part 1 of 2 posts for the new summer colors to be released June 18th at 8pm EST.

The entire collection is flat out gorgeous, as always. It has a variety of different finished, neon, jelly, flakie, shimmer, holo and glitter, so there is something for everyone. And now all Takko Lacquer polishes are infused with Vitamin E (on top of being 5-free and vegan) to help promote strong, healthy nails. The only noticeable change is that the polishes are slightly thicker and dry to a satin finish. They all still apply fantastic and now have the added bonus of actually making your nails better from the inside too! How cool is that? I don't think I have ever heard or seen a polish that does that. 

One more thing before we get to the swatches. Along with the seven new polishes in the summer release, Takko Lacquer is introducing a new high shine scented top coat called Sugar High. I will post a full review along with the other three polishes on Wednesday but  I used the new top coat for all the swatches in both posts. 

And now, sit back and enjoy all the drool-worthy goodies I have for you all today!

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!

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!

Indigo Bananas Swatch Spam

Hi friends! How was your weekend? It was so frickin cold and wet the whole time! I don't mind cold weather, but when it is cold and rainy, I get whiny, lol!

Today I have some swatches from the indie brand, Indigo Bananas! This is a long post with a lot of pictures, so be prepared! I selected four different polishes to swatch from the current offerings that, I think, best represent the brand. And not to spoil the post or anything, they are all really great!

ILNP Super Nova

Hey guys and gals! Happy Christmas Eve! I am in the middle of a cookie bake-a-thon at the moment, so today's post is a short and sweet one!

As I mentioned earlier this week, I will be showing the three ILNP multichrome flakies individually to maximized the viewing pleasure! If you missed the epic ILNP Brilliance, you can see that post, here. Today, I have the beautiful peacock shade, Super Nova!

ILNP Brilliance

Hi friends! A very happy Monday to you all! I cannot get over how close we are until the big day, and the end of the year. It has definitely been a roller coaster for me and I am hoping to have a nice quiet finish, lol! Not sure if that is going to happen, but one can always hope, right?

As promised, albeit a week late, I have swatches of the three ILNP multichrome flakies that I snagged from the pre order a few weeks ago. I decided to split them up into three separate posts, because it is just too much awesome to fit into one, lol!! So today I am starting with my favorite, ILNP Brilliance.

Saturday Snapshot: Multichrome Flakie Gradient

Hi friends! So I am currently in East Texas visiting my family for the holidays, but I didn't want the blog to be inactive while I was gone, so I am sharing a quick post of my nails for the trip. Well at least what was on them before I left. I brought a few polishes to play with while I am here, so no guarantee what they look like now!

If you are active in the nail community on IG, then I am sure you have seen the amazing new multichrome flakies that have been making their way into many Indie polishes. In fact, I just swatched some lovelies from Takko Lacquer a few days ago! 

One of the big release was a full line of thirteen multichrome flakies from ILNP, and I couldn't help but to get a few during the pre-sale! This is just a quick little gradient I did with one of them, but next week I will have full glorious swatches of the three I did pick up!

Takko Lacquer Winter 2014 Release Part One

 Hey y'all! How was your weekend? Mine was made exceptionally better after swatching the new Takko Lacquer beauties for the upcoming Winter release! If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw a couple of sneak peeks at some of the polishes to be released at the end of the week.

If you follow me on IG, you may have seen a sneak peek at the unbelievably stunning Cirque Colors Mirror, Mirror LE silver flakie holiday release. I wore it out this weekend for the party and it is just as amazing as I was hoping it would be!

Twinsie Tuesday: Halloween

Hey everyone! Well it's been a couple of weeks since I posted with the Twinsie Tuesday group. I am always so upset with myself when I miss a post, so hopefully that wont happen for a long time. This week we are posting Halloween themed looks and I am kinda glad for it, otherwise I may not have done one this year!

Takko Lacquer Fall Collection Part 1

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of posting last week. I hope it was better than mine, lol! My poor pooch was sick at the beginning of the week, and then it was my turn. She had an upset tummy and decided her leash was good to eat, so we spent most of Monday at the vet and Tuesday making sure she passed it all okay. The rest of the week, I had a bad head cold, drank lost of tea, and used up a lot of tissue! I have a nasty cough that is sticking around, but am feeling loads better.

Today I have the first part of the new Takko Lacquer fall collection - which includes 4 colors in all. The first two were originally released as a Gloss48 special, but they will be re-released this Wednesday. So if you missed out, you have another chance to snag them, yay!

Takko Lacquer Aphrodisiac

Hello friends! How was your weekend? We had a really nice one, after a glorious cold front blew in Friday night, the weather was fantastic - and for Texas in September, a cold front is a big deal. Yesterday we took the girlie to play Putt Putt for the first time. It was a blast, and no body won! We forgot to take score after the third hole, oops!

Today, I have one last beauty from Takko Lacquer to show you. This one is a previously released polish, but Sheryl threw it in along with the new colors.
