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 →
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 swatched China Glaze Howl You Doin' multiple times now, and it's just one of those polishes that, at least in concept, I keep wanting to come back to. The main issue with this polish is that the formula and execution was never my favorite, and it's gotten extremely clumpy with age in a way... 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 →
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... Continue Reading →
Slowly catching up on journaling my Instagram posts again... This is Julep Ness and Julep Vibrant Virgo, both polishes that I picked up in my last ever Julep box in February. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2iTp2ZAiMq/ I wish I had tried these polishes earlier because now that I'm writing the post so late after Julep's upheaval early this year,...

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...

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...
