tomboy with a nail polish problem | mostly lacquer & unboxings
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 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 saw Defy & Inspire Next Season On at Target and kept passing it up, but I eventually ended up picking it up on a shopping trip to grab some paints for 'Fiend, Jr. (Random shopping tip: I don't know if this happens to you with Target, but it's cheaper for me to buy most... Continue Reading →
Still catching up on journal entries for previously tried polishes (currently, I'm not wearing any polish - gasp!). This one, Sally Hansen Color Therapy in Well, Well, Well, is from almost two weeks ago, topped with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat. I thought I'd give the Color Therapy line a try because it's supposed... Continue Reading →
Another skittles using some older polishes in my stash. I think Air (the blue polish) might have been the second ever nail polish I bought! It's from 2012 when I first got obsessed with nail polish. 🙂 Thumb: Essie Haute as Hello, 3 coats Index: Zoya Arizona, 2 coats Middle: Nicole by OPI Lay It... Continue Reading →
A new Target recently opened near me, and Defy & Inspire Rock of Love caught my eye while I was checking out the store. This is my first time trying this brand, and it's a winner! Here it is, topped with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat: https://www.instagram.com/p/BYjxMsOACmo/?taken-by=eternaldecember Rock of Love is semi-sheer, milky pale... Continue Reading →
A couple years ago, in February 2015, I went through considerable trouble to track down a bottle of L'Oreal Masked Affair and was elated when I succeeded in obtaining this drugstore polish that was, for whatever reason, popular enough to be a bit hard to find. A few months later, in September 2015, Julep released its... Continue Reading →
I've never done a Throwback Thursday post, but hey, I just happen to be wearing the first nail polish that started this whole nail polish obsession: Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle Precious Pearl. More on that in a bit. This is in outdoor natural light, two coats, topped with Essie Good to Go top coat: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMGEWYVAQRQ/?taken-by=eternaldecember Precious Pearl...

Here's a quick comparison of Julep Desiree, a holographic top coat that came as a free gift with this month's Julep Maven monthly box, and Revlon Holographic Pearls, which I previously tried over a shimmer polish with less dramatic effect. (They're not all that similar, and I may even own other holo toppers that are more dupe-y,... Continue Reading →
