tomboy with a nail polish problem | mostly lacquer & unboxings
I'm slowly getting around to trying out the entire Felis Collection, but I'm taking my time, since there's no real reason not to. 🙂 Here's Live Love Polish Calico, one coat over black (Live Love Polish LBD). https://www.instagram.com/p/B1aJYeagnOp/ First, let me begin by saying that LBD is the best black polish I have ever tried....

I'm behind on my nail journaling again, but hopefully I can catch up tonight! This is NAVNI Beauty Turquoise Pools, two coats with top coat: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1FkvO-gjcE/ Turquoise Pools is a turquoise creme with a subtle pink shimmer that didn't show up at all in my photos and honestly wasn't very noticeable in person unless you...

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...

Last time Essie came out with a similar set, the two-color Mercury in Retrograde collection, I inadvertently passed on it because it sold out before I made up my mind about it, and I don't think it ever got restocked. This time, I was determined not to let it happen again, and Ulta happened to... Continue Reading →
This one's from a few weeks back: NAVNI Beauty Freshly Squeezed, two coats, plus top coat. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzDyVBdgf2Q/ Freshly Squeezed is a bright, juicy pinkish orange loaded with gold-to-pink color-shifting shimmer. I love it so much. The texture's almost jelly-like, but not quite, and it's reasonably opaque in two coats. The formula is easy to work... Continue Reading →
I fell in love with NAVNI Beauty Space Eggplant as soon as I saw a swatch for the first time on Instagram. NAVNI Beauty is a relatively new indie polish brand created by Kripa, who also works full-time as a physician/surgeon (link to Paula's swatch post and interview, since I discovered NAVNI through her :)) -...

Here's Essie Pinkies Out, from this year's spring collection: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxnolWSDhDt/ Pinkies Out is described by Essie as "a pearly apricot coral nail polish." It's a pastel peach creme with pink shimmer and has a lovely glow in person, but my phone had a hard time capturing the shimmer for some reason. It looks better in... Continue Reading →
I realize I'm catching up on my nail journal late, but I hope my fellow moms all had a wonderful mother's day! I matched nails with my mini me for the occasion (unplanned, actually, but she asked me to paint her nails while I was painting my own), which was fun. 🙂 This is Essie Tiers of... Continue Reading →
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...
