Live Love Polish Dark Matter

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...

Pure Ice Deja Vu

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...

Julep Judy

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...

Julep Saryn

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...

NAVNI Beauty – Space Eggplant

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 :)) -...

Julep Avant Garden trio: Binta, Bristol & Tammy

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...

Sinful Colors Got a Bat Attitude & Julep Nicola

Final week of this year's Halloween nails. 🙂 Felt like going for something minimalist this time. This is one coat of Sinful Colors Got a Bat Attitude and one coat Julep Nicola, topped with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat. The second photo shows my blurry attempt to capture the phosporescence in the half dark...

ILNP Tilted

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!

ILNP Sirene

Oops, fell a little behind on posting, so it's going to be a post-heavy day. Also, I didn't keep notes on application, so these are probably going to be pretty sparse on text. might edit these if I wear the same polishes again. 🙂 https://www.instagram.com/p/BjS7F6AhE6D/?taken-by=eternaldecember This is ILNP Sirene, one of their Ultra Chromes. I...
