Liquid Lacquer - Cherub

I knew which polish that I wanted to try next, Cherub! I was instantly drawn to something in this polish, may be the teal, the pink, the silver glitters, so much goodness in this one.






Polishes Used:
-OPI - Nail Envy
-Essence - Mauve Like a Rockstar
-Liquid Lacquer - Cherub
-Gelous
-OTD

The last picture really captures all the goodness about this polish. I have on two coats and you can see the silver, light pink, and teal multisized glitters. I really like this color combination with the light pink and teal though, for the past couple of month, teals have been really jumping out at me. 

Don't forget to check out Melissa's Etsy Store. 

Which of her polishes, would you like me to try out tomorrow? I am open for suggestions!

Liquid Lacquer - What Happens In Vegas... (Pic Heavy)

Yesterday I got home from work and I had some amazing nail mail from Melissa of Liquid Lacquer.

I am so lucky to be able to swatch these lovelies. Here was the wonderful collection of polishes that I received.



From Right to Left, we have Secret Clubhouse, What Happens in Vegas..., Damn It's Cold, Cherub, Bitch Fit, You Give Me Fever, Flamin' Flamingo, and Purple Haze. These polishes will soon be available to purchase in Melissa's Etsy shop. 

Also, since it was cute, I am going to throw in a picture of her new business cards too!


So I obviously had no idea where to start with these polishes, so I let my hubby pick! He immediately chose What Happens in Vegas... 






Polishes Used:
-OPI - Nail Envy
-Julep - Claire
-Liquid Lacquer - What Happens In Vegas...
-Gelous
-OTD

What Happens in Vegas... is a lovely multicolored glitter polish in a clear base. I have on two coats of the glitter in the pictures, and it feels like the perfect amount to me. Since I had to wear this over something, I thought that Claire was a fun base color. Here are some pictures of Claire alone.





Claire is a lovely creme blue polish and one of my favorite (out of 3) Julep polishes that I own. lol. 

I am going to have so much fun swatching these polishes for you all over the upcoming weeks.

NYC - Soho

Sorry for once again not posting anything over the weekend. This weekend we went to my in-laws to celebrate my niece's 3rd birthday. They live on the other side of the state, so we always make an entire weekend out of it. She is too cute, but a total 3 year old ball of energy!!

Anyway, today I decided to do a palette cleanser mani with one of my favorite go-to polishes from before my blogging days, NYC, Soho.





Polishes Used:
-Nailtiques - Formula 2 Plus
-NYC - Soho
-INM - Northern Lights

Please excuse that lovely scratch I have on my pinky finger. Not sure how that happened but I don't really see a way to avoid that in my pictures. Anyway, this is a super simple mani but something refreshing that reminds me of the "olden days". The Northern Lights adds just a little something extra to this mani without actually having a "glitter" topcoat.

Sometimes do you just need a day to do something fairly neutral? 


P.S. I have a couple different nail mails coming, hopefully they will make it this week but who knows, I think that the mail has been slowed down due to Sandy, but once they arrive, I shall be swatching some new lovelies for you all :)

Fall Into Autumn Challenge - Favorite Sweater

I love sweaters and cropped jackets for fall!!! I was really looking forward to this challenge because there are just so many fun sweaters out there!

I decided to use one of the sweaters that I bought this year as inspiration for this mani. It's super matchy matchy, but I am wearing the sweater/nail combo today.





Polishes Used:
-OPI - Nail Envy
-Essie - Braziliant
-American Apparel - Make Up
-OTD

Here is the sweater that inspired my look, courtesy of Target :)


My mani isn't exactly dead on, almost has an opposite feel to it since I used the orange as the primary color. I had to laugh when I realized that I was using more ORANGE in this mani since just earlier this week, I mentioned that I was "oranged out". I wish I would have made sure to ensure the striping tape was completely applied so that my ring-finger was picture perfect.


Make sure to check out the other ladies' favorite sweater manis!

Sinful Colors - Lavender

I can't believe it is already November!!!

Today I decided to try out one of my untried's. I still have a handful of untried Sinful's from the last time I picked up a bunch during their Walgreen's sale.

Sinful Colors Lavender is a really pretty grey/blue/purple lavender creme polish that is completely opaque in two thin coats.





Polishes Used:
-OPI - Nail Envy
-Sinful Colors - Lavender
-OTD

Isn't this lovely? I wish that I would have worn this polish sooner, and I may even turn this into an upcycled mani seeing as I don't even want to take this off. 

Short post today; hope you all have a good Thursday :)
