I recently got hooked on Hare Polish thanks to my dear friend Shelby (of Shelby Lou Nails). There's something wonderful about the unique color pallets Hare creates. Not only was I drawn to this color, I kind of love the fact that there's a polish that's named after my coast. It may seem silly, but I'm rather sentimental about my home.Down on the...
You've most likely seen swatches of this glorious color, but I had to offer up my own. When Pretty & Polished released Maleficium I knew that I needed to have it. My patience paid off when they had their daylight savings sale.Look at those color shifting flakies. It doesn't get any better than that!With three thin coats Maleficium reaches full coverage. As you...
I was recently contacted by VENeffect to try some of their anti-aging products. The products were created as an alternative to getting a prescription for estrogen cream. They sent over a pr packet and a the samples in the photo below.I was previously unfamiliar with phytoestrogens (or so I thought) until I did a bit of research. From what I found, there doesn't...
I have some super sneaky friends, who ask sneaky discrete questions that lead to pretty polish. At one point in time I mentioned that I thought it would be fun to have a polish color designed after each of my cats (insert crazy cat lady jokes here). This is what Kendahl (Firecracker Lacquer) came up with:Tiki's Tales is a black jelly with emerald...
I scored my first Love, Angeline from a friend's destash and instantly fell in love. I'm a huge fan of white crellies, so this was a good "first" for me.While I adore Love, Angeline Ta-Da!, I felt like it was missing something. It has silver/holo glitter in it, so I decided to amplify the effect with Firecracker Lacquer Frosting. On my accent nails,...
I don't know if you've picked up on the trend yet, but I have a lot of wonderful customs thanks to my friends.

To "Coug It!" means that...

Do you ever have those moments where a color just calls to you? I had that happen when I Love Nail Polish announced their spring collection. Not only are the colors beautiful, but a bunch of them are wedding themed. Yes, I know tons of people get married each year. I just thought it was a fun coincidence.Peri Me is a lovely blue...
The same friend who introduced me to Love, Angeline also gave me my first Jindie Nails. I had no idea she was sending it, so it was quite a treat!How cute is that bottle?! I don't have a lot to say because I loved everything about Live Out Loud. The formula is great, and the mini bottle was easy to work with. If...

This was made for a group of polish lovers on Reddit.The pictures show two coats of Bby Chickens with one coat of Poshe. I topped it all off with three cute glitter stars. This was meant to be unscented, but I asked Jennifer...
Water marbles and I still don't get along, so I was really excited when Kendahl suggested we try a dry marble. We used the technique shown here.For not being a true water marble, I sure love it! There are so many advantages to dry marbling that I don't even know where to start. It's far less messy, and still gives you a decent...
