Clouds

I know I've been MIA lately. Grad school is done and graduation is on Mother's Day! And then 5 days later, I'm getting married!! So, I've been a little busy, but I have been keeping up with my nail art just fine!

I just wanted to show you all a few cloud nails I did.

 This manicure was created using an Enchanted Polish and 2 Sally Hansens.

 This manicure is 100% Zoya polish

Ocean Potion and Sprouse

Today, I have two amazing polishes for you to see! I decided they needed to be layered and I adore the results! First up, I applied two coats of Enchanted Polish Ocean Potion and stepped out into the sunshine and let my fingers glow!

I just love the random glitter piece I have on my middle finger up there ^. 

Such a gorgeous polish!! But you know me, I need more! So I grabbed my trusty Candeo Colors Sprouse....as an aside, things were very amiss with my bottle of Sprouse. I used it one other time HERE...but when I grabbed it today, so much of it was gone!! It was like the clear base evaporated or something...and when I pulled out the brush, it was all shriveled and gross. I shook it all, thinking that might help- it sort of did, but the formula was definitely not the same. I sent Candeo Colors a message about this so we'll see what happens. It was so sad! I LOVE this polish! Yet, I will say, the thicker formula really helped me get more on the nail! It was a little gloopy, but yeah...

Thanks for reading!

I just wanted to share with you all the last of my polish splurge (you know, that reason I put myself on a no-buy). These came last week and you've already seen 2 of them in action, but I don't care! You get to see them again!

First up, I have my Enchanted Polishes:

 Cranberry Cosmo, Ocean Potion, and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

ASBMF Challenge #8- Matte Magic!

So, I've been adding to my lovely Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by Enchanted Polish. I figured, why ruin a good thing? So...I added Essie's Matte About You topcoat (a topcoat that mattes the color/finish of any polish over which you apply it) and viola!

Even in the sun, the sparkle tries to shine!

This was my first time using a matte topcoat. I actually had to go out and buy one specifically for this challenge! I really like it but this combo was soooo difficult to capture on the camera!

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed!

Lucy & Funhouse

So, Yesterday, I showed you Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by Enchanted Polish. Well, for whatever reason, I felt as though I had to do something more to it! I know, I know, I sound crazy! But I was compelled to do something else. First, I thought about attempting some stamping. Now, stamping and I don't always get along. It's one bit of nail art I need more practice with and it was too late at night to even attempt it all.
So, I sat and thought a little. And looked around at my polishes. And there it was! A new polish! One I had not tried yet! One that I just KNEW would look stunning with Lucy! I grabbed DandyNails Funhouse and applied it!

Funhouse is a clear based polish with shredded glitter in a Teal-ish color and Magenta. There's also micro silver glitter thrown in for good measure. I wish my camera had been able to capture how crazy the shine on my nails was! It was super festive- like for a New Years Eve bash!

(click and enlarge the above picture for more detail!)

You can really see the shine!

DandyNails can be found HERE (Facebook) and HERE (Etsy). I love this polish!

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for reading!

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!

I finally got my Enchanted Polish order! I had to get me some holographic polishes! They're my most favorite polishes to own and I only had 2 prior to this! I'm absolutely getting more at some point from Enchanted Polish. AMAZING STUFF! I purchased 3 gorgeous polishes and I'm showing you one today!

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is part of her Beatles Collection and the perfect nude holo! I wanted this one because I'll be starting my internship soon and although I'll rock the bright colors like always, I think it'd be nice to bring in some tasteful work appropriate colors too!

See how it's slightly taupe? Much different than the standard silver holo and I'm in love with it! Flawless application in 2 coats! (shown with topcoat of Seche Vite in all photos)

So sparkly!

This above photo shows the color at its truest.

I was thinking that this might be the ideal wedding day color! I've been trying to decide on how I want to wear my nails next May for the wedding (364 days to go until the big day!) and I think Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds would be a great choice!

If you would like to purchase some of these polishes, you have a few options. First is the Etsy store (currently closed) HERE. Then there's Llarowe that has recently begun selling Enchanted Polish. HERE you can find the polish (for the most part) in stock. Also, don't forget to like Enchanted Polish's Facebook page HERE to stay up to date on shop openings.
