Hey guys! Today I have part one of the Family Don't End With Blood collection by Finger Lickin' Lacquer. The collection is inspired by the tv show Supernatural, and features many of your favorite characters from the show. The colors I reviewed are scented, but you have the option to order them unscented.

Let me start off by saying that I LOVE Pretty & Polished colors. Thermals are so much fun to have despite their short shelf life. I feel like Pretty & Polished has some of the most unique thermals available. Unfortunately, most of my experiences with their thermals haven't been positive.

Let's rewind for a second, back to before I blogged about nail polish.

Last Summer I purchased Cuttle Fish and April Showers. Cuttle Fish changed like a champ and exceeded all of my expectations. I love thermals so much that as soon as I took off Cuttle Fish I knew I needed to wear April Showers. Unfortunately, April Showers was super gritty and anywhere a piece of pigment appeared the polish had issues transitioning between colors. I contacted Pretty & Polished with photos and was told that the gritty texture was normal and that they had no reports of issues with April Showers. After a great deal of back and forth over a month they finally sent a replacement bottle and a bottle of top coat as an apology for taking so long to replace the bottle.

It's been about a year since I had that experience and Pretty & Polished was having a 25% off Spring Cleaning sale, so I decided to give them another try. I ordered four colors, two of which are thermals. I decided to wear and photograph The Fifth Beetle first, so let's take a look at those photos:

Hey guys. Today I have Mist and Shadow, Cloud and Shade from Lucky 13 Lacquer. After seeing all the lovely swatches out there I knew I finally needed to wear this beauty.

I had so much fun with last month's He Picks My Polish challenge, that I asked Brian to pick for me again. I'm not going to lie, his ego was pretty inflated last month with all of your compliments. When I showed him what you all said he replied back with "you're welcome" in a kind of cocky tone. I'm pretty sure he thinks he can run this blog. Here are Brian's picks for this month:

I'm unsure what the name of the blue is because it has been missing its sticker for years now. After some googling I think it might be China Glaze Shower Together. Maybe one of you owns it or a similar color and can confirm?

This is two coats of my mystery blue topped with one coat of Ulta Frosted. I think Brian has figured out that you can put glitter over anything. I tried to encourage him to pick another color to add to the challenge, but he said I needed to stick with his two choices or he wasn't going to pick again.

What do you guys think of the combo? I like it, but I definitely think his first pairing was much more interesting.

By now I'm sure you have heard of the super amazing multichromes KBShimmer released a while back. I finally got my hands on one and they hype doesn't even begin to describe how much I love this color.

It's a rare treat when we have a weeks worth of sunny weather this time of year. After spending most of the week working in the yard, Brian and I decided to get out of town to enjoy a new hike a few Saturdays ago. We recently got into hiking, so we try to take advantage of every sunny day that comes along. This adventure took us to Latourell Falls. The hike is 2.4 miles will take you past two waterfalls.



The lower falls could be seen from your car, but you could get a much better view by walking up a short path. We saw a ton of people doing just that and opting out of the hike.


During the hike we saw some interesting plants. I'm not sure what either of these are, but they were everywhere.


Once we got closer to the upper falls, it was nearly impossible to stay dry. The footbridge that took us across the creek was soaked.

Today I have four super unique colors from Daphine Polish's Top Ten Collection. The collection consists of ten different colors inspired songs. There are some really fantastic colors in this collection that I did not swatch and review, so I highly recommend that you check out her store and Facebook page to view the rest of the collection.

I first saw this color on Chalkboard Nails last Spring and knew I had to have it. I tend to waffle on polish purchases and ended up waiting too long to snag this beauty. When it was finally back in stock, I didn't hesitate to grab a bottle. Light it Up Blue was inspired by Autism Speaks and World Autism Day. For every bottle purchased, Different Dimension will donate $2 to Autism Speaks.

I have to start off by saying that I am a HUGE fan of quirky nail polish. If it glows in the dark or changes color I need it. When I got this awesome skull I had to know if it lived up to it's glow in the dark claims.



Sweet Dreams is a glow in the dark, neon pink creme with small bits of silver glitter. For not being a huge girly girl or a pink lover, I like how loud this color is.


I used two coats of polish and was able to get really nice coverage, and the formula was pleasant to work with. The third photo shows how intensely it glows with just one minute of charging. If you were to wear this color all day in the sunlight I think it would glow for several hours.
