tomboy with a nail polish problem | mostly lacquer & unboxings
This week's polish is ILNP 1UP, from ILNP's Summer 2015 Ultra Holo collection. It was one of my Black Friday polishes. ❤ Mr. Fiend got me Super Mario Odyssey for Christmas, so I've been playing that with our preschooler a lot recently, and this polish fits that perfectly, hehe. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7KMpFTgFsu/ 1UP is a cheery green...

I also ended up buying the Live Love Polish Galaxy Trio (which includes Dark Matter, Cosmic Dust, and Stellar Halo) during Black Friday sales. Dark Matter, especially, is essentially what I'd have requested if I ever won one of those custom polish contests, so I'm quite happy with it. https://www.instagram.com/p/B61Tj0KAock/ Dark Matter has a black...

ILNP continues to be one of my favorite indie nail polish brands. I picked up a few colors over their Black Friday sale last year and was very happy with all of them. Here are Fired Up, Summer Lovin', and Christmas Cookie. https://www.instagram.com/p/B519mvsgxmT/ Fired Up is one of ILNP's Color Kissed Ultra Holo polishes and... Continue Reading →
All right, just about caught up now! This is Revlon Parfumerie Italian Leather, part of a discontinued line of scented nail polishes from a few years back. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5LmVt1guTK/ Italian Leather is medium warm gray/taupe creme with a subtle, fine pale-gold shimmer throughout. It's so subtle that it was really more visible in the bottle than... Continue Reading →
I've swatched China Glaze Howl You Doin' multiple times now, and it's just one of those polishes that, at least in concept, I keep wanting to come back to. The main issue with this polish is that the formula and execution was never my favorite, and it's gotten extremely clumpy with age in a way... Continue Reading →
Late, late, late. I can't seem to keep up with my nail journal these days, but I guess it's better late than never! Trying to catch up today. This is KBShimmer Here for the Boos, a bright, juicy orange jelly packed with all kinds of holographic glitter goodness. It's a chunkier polish, so it dries... Continue Reading →
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,...

I don't know how I've gone so long without trying KBShimmer, but I've definitely thought about ordering for a very long time. I think it was my usual top coat running low and getting all clotted up that got me to finally order, since KBShimmer's top coat is highly rated by many fellow polish addicts.... Continue Reading →
I was visiting my sister this past weekend, and we decided to paint our nails together - something we somehow never did as kids (probably because I was a tomboy) but now do as adults because modern nail polish is actually attractive to us. 🙂 While I was over at her place, I borrowed Julep...
