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 →
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 →
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 don't know how I've gone so long without trying KBShimmer, but I've definitely thought about ordering for a very long time. I think it was my usual top coat running low and getting all clotted up that got me to finally order, since KBShimmer's top coat is highly rated by many fellow polish addicts.... 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 :)) -...

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'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... Continue Reading →
This is Julep Queen Anne, Julep's third anniversary commemorative polish color, described as a "Lilac Confetti Microglitter." I wore this while on vacation in early December because I wanted a low-maintenance polish that would 1) resist chipping and 2) hide any wear and tear well. Glitters tend to fit the bill, and this one didn't... Continue Reading →
