China Glaze Marry a Millionaire

Ah, tomorrow is hump day! Ever since I started my job in January I have not had as much me time as I would like - aka paint my nails and relax time! I work 8:30 to 7 most days and by the time I get home from the gym I am pooped! All I want to do is read blog posts haha

China Glaze had the right idea - Marry a Millionaire. No work, just nails :) I bought this polish sometime around the holidays and tried it on its own. My mistake - I really dislike wearing glitters on their own so this time I layered Marry a Millionaire over Model's Own Pure Purple. I enjoyed the results of this much better! 



Thanks for stopping by !

Zoya Skylar

Happy Friday lovelies! Today I have another Zoya from their spring collection to show you. This is Skylar, my favorite of the collection. If you haven't already noticed I am a sucker for blues so this was an obvious purchase for me. Skylar is unique slate blue polish. The flecks in this are what really make this color special - they are a mix of gold and silver flecks but in the right light can look blue. 


The did kick up the fill light in these photos because I really wanted you guys to see the flecks so the color is a bit brighter in these photos than in real life. In person it is much more if a slate blue

Now I am itching for some of Zoya's Beach and Surf collection!

Finger Paints Rose Patina

Hello ladies. I just finished my last graduate class. It feels SO good! To celebrate I have a fun shimmery pink polish. This one is actually my moms. This is not a color I would usually go for but it actually turned out really pretty on my nails. It is Rosa Patina by Finger Paints. I don't own many FP but the ones I do own are pretty impressive. This was an easy 2 coater and the fact that it has shimmers made it an instant fav.

Revlon Whimsical

Why I waited so long to get this polish I do not know. Yes I love blue, and yes I love glitter but I never understood the hype around Revlon's Whimsical. I passed it up a few times in the drug store but picked it up on a whim. WOW I love this nail polish.
 I added 2 coats over Essie's Turquoise and Caicos. I love the soft look it gives T&C. Revlon did such a good job with this GitA Dupe!!

I am really hoping Revlon comes out with a Mermaid's Dream dupe - I will stalk the drug stores for that one!

100th Post! Zoya Tru

Hey guys! Welcome to the weekend :) Today's post is pretty special because I have finally reached 100 posts! For you I have Zoya's Tru from their spring collection. Tru is a eggplant purple with shimmers. In real life it has much more red tones than are portrayed in the picture. 

I'm not sure if I got a duddy one, but I was really hoping for the shimmers to be much more apparent than they actually were. Also the consistency I found was very goopy. It kind of makes me want to go buy the OPI dupe to see how it compares!

OPI Thanks A WindMillion

Hello blogger world! I have missed posting so much and am extremely glad my nails are back in good shape! For my return I have an OPI from the new Holland collection: Thanks a Windmillion. I didn't really own anything like this in my stash. It's not quiet mint, it's a nice mix of green, blue, and grey, almost like a sea foam green. The application was perfection, 2 easy coats.

One other reason I have not been posting is because I got a puppy! He is such a handful but look at him! He was rescued from a shelter and was living in a foster home. This was his at 8 weeks :)


So since I have been out of the loop what collections are you most looking forward to coming out?!

Will be returning shortly!

Hello to all of my readers. I just wanted to stop by and write you a little explanation!
It's been quiet a while since my last post :( However, I had some AWFUL breaks to multiple nails! I don't know if I wasn't being careful with my nubs but I am in the process of nursing them back to health! They are almost there.

I don't really like posting photos of my nails when they are not in the best of shape so I am sorry for the hiatus!

I have some amazing pretties to show you guys when my nails are up to my posting standards!
