Flounder

Today I have for you a gorgeous polish from Once Upon a Polish called Flounder. I showed you all some bottle shots the other day when I received it in the mail and I couldn't resist trying it out!
I decided to layer it over Orly Sweet Peacock (a stunning metallic blue foil).

Truth be told, this is truly one of the best glitter polishes I have worked with! It went on beautifully in just one coat and wasn't at all gloopy or hard to place! You should have seen me when I was applying it. I kept saying things like "Oh my gosh! No way!Holy crap!"....yeah, I was hilarious.
Also, this was extremely difficult to photograph. This glitter catches every. bit. of. light. Amazing!

Leave it to the thumb picture! My camera seems to enjoy taking detail shots only of my thumb. But yes, this is fairly accurate to how it looks on my nail- particularly the very vivid part at the tip of the nail.

I'm sure this would be just as gorgeous on its own. It is in a slightly blue tinted base from what I could tell so perhaps I will try Flounder on its own next time!

If you would like to check out the Once Upon a Polish Etsy shop, click here. Also, the Facebook page can be found here. There are so many more polishes I want! But I'm on a no buy for a while, so I will content myself with window shopping and drooling for now!

I hope you enjoyed! 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.

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!
