tomboy with a nail polish problem | mostly lacquer & unboxings
Finally, caught up to today's manicure, haha. This is an old polish from my collection, Pure Ice Deja Vu, which I bought probably in 2012 or 2013. I've posted July 4th nails using it once, but I don't think I ever got around to using it as the sole color for a week. I'm not... Continue Reading →
Slowly catching up on journaling my Instagram posts again... This is Julep Ness and Julep Vibrant Virgo, both polishes that I picked up in my last ever Julep box in February. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2iTp2ZAiMq/ I wish I had tried these polishes earlier because now that I'm writing the post so late after Julep's upheaval early this year,...

This week's polish is Julep Saryn, which I received as an add-on in my last ever Julep box back in February. 😥 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zf6lMAqlh/ Saryn is described by Julep as a "Coral Sunset Iridescent Shimmer" - it's a metallic type of shimmer polish that has a pink flash (iridescent/duochrome effect) from some angles, so it shifts...

It's been a long time since I posted here, so I'm going to try to do some catching up today. Here's Julep Illuminating Leo, a freebie I received for taking three add-ons in my last Julep box. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxUchTgWlh/ Illuminating Leo is described by Julep as a "Zesty Lemon Multidimensional Iridescent—for the bold and confident Leo"...

I've painted my nails only once in the last three weeks, but I enjoyed it! This is two coats of Wet 'n' Wild Caribbean Frost, topped with one coat of Live Love Polish Artemis from Live Love Polish's Felis Collection (the profits from which raised $20,000 for a cat cafe fostering at-risk cats in New...

I haven't had a lot of energy for nails lately, but I managed to throw something simple together for Valentine's Day. This is two coats of Live Love Polish Private Cabana on all nails, except for the ring finger, with is two coats of Nuance Deep Earth, topped with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat....

I'm so behind on blog entries, but hopefully I can catch up soon! This is the Julep Avant Garden trio ($30) that I bought with my December 2018 Julep box, which I received late that month. The three colors are: Bristol (Boho Glam) – Lavender Ice Metallic This color is on my middle finger and is a... Continue Reading →
From my untried polishes, this is Sephora Formula X Hocus Pocus, two coats, with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat, in outdoor natural light. It's too bad Sephora discontinued their Formula X line. I got this in a sampler set at some point, and this was the representative polish from their Holograms series. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkeLvBBK_w/?taken-by=eternaldecember Hocus...

This is ILNP Tilted, an Ultra Chrome from the holiday 2017 collection, two coats plus Julep Oxygen Performance Top Coat. https://www.instagram.com/p/BkD-SS8BVWM/?taken-by=eternaldecember Tilted has a metallic/shimmery fuchsia base with a beautiful gold/olive to blue-violet shift. Great application, and I don't recall anything unusual about the dry time or durability. Really enjoyed wearing this one!
This is Julep Sagittarius, two coats plus Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat, from their 2017 Zodiac collection. I got this polish as a freebie at some point because they'd run out of stock on something I'd selected for a monthly Maven box, so they let me pick a polish of my choice. Julep's customer...
