365 Days of Color - Crush on You

Recently, I took the plunge and indulged in 365 Days of Color's Valentine's Day Bag. The week before these bags were available, I purchased some of her hand cream, cuticle cream, and miracle balm. I love them all. My cuticles are 90% better since using the hand cream and that's with only 3 days of continuous use.

In the Valentine's Bag was this lovely limited edition nail polish called Crush on You. It's a light pink creme with pink and red round micro glitters. I don't even know where to start! This polish is, hands down, THE BEST Indie polish I have ever used. It wasn't gloopy and thick and the glitter didn't jut out all over the place on the nail. I didn't even need to use Gelous to smooth things out. Also, this polish lasted 4 days on my nails without tip wear. I'll definitely be trying out some more of her polishes soon!

I had to use 4 coats to achieve the look you see below. It's a relatively sheer polish that builds easily to opacity.

Thanks for reading!

More Nail Mail

I had a long and busy day at work today. It was gorgeous outside and I hardly was able to enjoy it! Yet, when I came home, there in the mailbox were some gorgeous lovelies to behold! I HAD to share these!

This post is even more picture heavy than my last one. Oh goodness!

First up are my darlings from Elixir Lacquer. Recently, they had a restock of Bad Kitty and this is a polish I have desperately wanted since I saw a swatch for the first time. I had caught wind of the fact that this might be the last restock of Bad Kitty for quite a while. PLUS, there was a sale on all Elixir Lacquer polishes! All signs pointed to YES-BUY SOME POLISH! I wish I had gotten a few others but I had to limit myself.
In the end, I decided on Bad Kitty and With a K.

How pretty?!

Next, we have the one polish I purchased from DandyNails. It's called Funhouse and it's beautiful!


Funhouse with a lovely business card!




Macro goodness of Funhouse!

Next, we have my order of one polish from Once Upon a Polish. I truly had such a difficult time choosing just one from this store when she went live with a restock! In the end I chose Flounder (yes, that's right! It's inspired by Flounder from The Little Mermaid). When I opened my package, this is what I saw!


How gorgeous is this?! Love fun touches like this!


 Opening it further! I love the business card! And look what I found when I flipped it over!


Thank you, Kimberly for your personal touches! (and gorgeous polishes!)


Here is Flounder!

Makes me so happy!

Oh these colors are gorgeous together!

Lastly, I received my order from Pam at Whimsical Ideas by Pam. 


I LOVE the packaging!


So pretty! Seuss, I Believe in Fairies, Saturday Morning Cartoons, & Hatched


I love the cards that everyone is adding in their with their shipments! I feel like it adds a little something extra to it all. This is also included:

I am so very happy with these purchases! I cannot wait to use these!
Also, I think my mom and sister were just as excited to see these lovely polishes...they've already put dibs on the ones they want to use first! I think they're being converted into Lacquerheads too!

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed!
