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...

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 →
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 →
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 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 :)) -...

The last time I wore The Lady Varnishes Pumpkin Head two years ago, I wore it in combination with other polishes. This year, though, I thought I'd wear it alone. Here it is, both with (first photo below) and without top coat (second photo below and featured post photo), in outdoor natural light. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpBW-11BLn-/?taken-by=eternaldecember I still...

Here's another fabulous fall 2017 color: ILNP Close Knit. Below are some shots in indirect and direct sunlight, two coats with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf9y9jggqL1/?taken-by=eternaldecember Close Knit is hard to describe. It's kind of a neutral dusty, mauve-y pink, and under all the holo sparkle, it also looks like it's got a... Continue Reading →
It’s starting to edge toward spring, but I’m still enjoying my winter 2017 polishes. :] This is ILNP Salem, three coats, except for four coats ILNP Supernova on the ring finger, plus Supernova dabbed in an ombré effect over the tip of the middle finger, all topped with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat. https://www.instagram.com/p/BfuOQTBAI_g/?taken-by=eternaldecember Salem...
