One more year <3

Julep Primrose

Last week's nail swatch, Julep Primrose, two coats, plus Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh-b5C3hZih/?taken-by=eternaldecember Primrose is a beautiful orchid-pink jelly with fine holo flakes. The holographic effect isn't terribly strong, from what I experienced, and the flakes generally read as silver, though very sparkly! The rainbows come out a bit in stronger light, though,...

ILNP Salem & ILNP Supernova

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...

ILNP Ava & Julep Elsa

Here's another ILNP Fall 2017 collection color, ILNP Ava, on all fingers, other than the accent nail, which is the snow-effect "stardust finish" polish Julep Elsa from last December: https://www.instagram.com/p/BdBXriOgxPM/?taken-by=eternaldecember ILNP Ava is a gorgeous violet jelly loaded with red shimmer and a smattering of holo shimmer. ILNP says there's some gold micro-flakes in there,...

ILNP West Wing

I was sick and pretty miserable all last week, but I managed to slap some polish on my nails for my birthday. It’s become something of a personal tradition that I try to find a color that reminds me of space, galaxies, nebulae, etc., for the occasion. This year, I picked ILNP West Wing, from...

ILNP Lights Out

So, I finally made my first-ever ILNP order. I’ve been covetously eying their amazing polishes (best holos and multichromes ever!) for years, but I just kept biding my time for some reason. (Then they sent me a 25% off coupon because I’d registered and never bought anything, and I was galvanized to action. Took me long...

Zoya Muse

Zoya Muse, from the summer 2014 Bubbly collection, topped with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat, photographed in outdoor natural light: https://www.instagram.com/p/BTwo5hIFSe1/?taken-by=eternaldecember The jelly-ish sheer and squishy medium blue base is transformed to a shifty teal because of the gold shimmer, and it's packed with iridescent glitters. I love this one, even though it takes three...

Sonnetarium Strawberry Smoothie, Banana Pudding & Cucumber Salad

I bought these three minis from a blog sale some years ago and somehow never got around to swatching them! These are three colors from Sonnetarium's Fresh collection from 2013 - Strawberry Smoothie, Banana Pudding, and Cucumber Salad. They're as yummy-looking as they sound, and there are two additional colors, Blueberry Yogurt and Raspberry Sorbet,...

Julep January 2017 (Future Fresh) Custom Maven Box (with promo code!) | Julep Ginny & Julep Yulia

A bit of a late post, but here it is: my customized Julep January 2017 Maven box! Since I took so long to find time to post this, I've also already swatched the polishes that came in it, so I'm throwing that in here, too. Looks like Julep's cutting down on packaging. Instead of the...
