Stash Post Part 1

Since my nails are in terrible condition I decided to start doing some stash posts. I'm right around the 200 polish mark so I think this is as good time to start! First I'll be showing you all my indie polishes. I've broken them up into 3 posts because I have so many of them! I tried to get the best picture that shows whats actually in the bottle so some of them are turned and others are not. If you see anything specific that you want to see on, let me know and I will do my best to post it!

I'll Never Glow Up!

I know I said I wouldn't be posting as much since my nails are so painfully (literally) short but I thought this was too cool to pass up. Not too long ago I made my first purchase from Michelle's Sonnetarium etsy shop and I picked up Lotta Zebra and Never Glow Up. Never Glow Up is what I'm going to show you now because its so awesome. When I was about 10 years old I talked my grandma into letting me paint her nails a dark navy color with craft glitter stuck all over it. I'm sure the application was horrible, there was no clean up and there was certainly no top coat! Anyway, I neglected to tell her that the glitter was glow in the dark... in a half sleep state in the middle of the night she thought her glowing nails were bugs in bed with her and panicked and proceeded to beat her hands to death to kill the bugs. When I saw Never Glow Up I instantly thought of my grandma and I had to have it. She will never let me paint her nails again, I'm sure, but maybe I can try to sneak this one in... 

I know this is blurry but this is the closest I could get to color accurate with my camera. This is about 4-ish coats with top coat. Its a little thick and sheer so thin coats are a must! Its a nice blueish-turquoise base with lots of fine glitter. Its a very pretty polish and the glow just gives it extra points in my book!

Playing around with different angles and watermarks...

I had to "charge" my nails in front of a light bulb for a few seconds to make it glow this brightly to get my camera to capture it. I was so excited that my camera actually got the glow! Next time I wear these, I will not "charge" them right before bed! I spent at least an hour waving my hands around and staring at my nails! LOL

How do you feel about glow in the dark polish?? I wish there were more awesome ones out there that weren't just neon!

Anniversary Nails: Essie Bazooka!

My nails are painfully short but I wanted to post my anniversary nails from last weekend. I used 3 coats of Essie Bazooka, a super pretty orange-ish jelly. I love this color and especially in jelly form, total winner for me! Then I added gold hex glitters to all my nails except my ring finger. On my ring finger I added one coat of Candy Lacquer Gold Nuggets which is a clear base FULL of gold shards. I love the orange and gold combo even though I'm not a fan of gold anything. I can make an exception on my nails, I suppose. Then I added some studs. If you can't tell, I LOVE my goodies from the Born Pretty Store and I can't wait to order more studs and stuff from them. By the way, I have to say I got my inspiration for all these goodies from The Nailasaurus, she always done some really cool and fun designs with this stuff. I only got to wear these for a few days because I can't keep polish from peeling to save my life.

I am so in love with the studs and hex glitters! Do you think you could handle the 3-D stuff on your nails? I'd love to hear what you think!! 

Since my nails are having some major issues, I probably won't be posting much until I get some more length or unless I have something SUPER awesome to show you. My nails are so thin from taking my gels off that every time I get some length they rip down to the quick :( If you have any suggestions, please let me know! Until next time :)

Enchanted Polish holographics

I'll make this short and sweet since the last one was pretty long.

When llarowe announced that most of the Enchanted Polish line was being discontinued I grabbed a few of the holos I had lemmings for. I got Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, Gummy Worm, Sour Patch Kid, and Vampire's Dessert. I love holographics and I just HAD to have them. I used Lucy and Gummy Worm first. 2 coats of each plus top coat which did not dull the holo effect at all. I loved this simple yet beautiful mani.

Both photos were taken outside and as you can see, the holo is a little stronger in Lucy than it is in Gummy Worm but they are both gorgeous none the less.

How do you feel about holos? Do you have any lemmings??

~P.S. Notice I'm finally getting some length back to my nubs?? Yay!! :)
