Maybelline "Clearly Spotted"


Hi guys!  We've almost made it to the weekend!  It has been a long week and I can hardly wait to relax and have an uneventful weekend.  Today's nail polish is Maybelline's "Clearly Spotted."

"Clearly Spotted" is a fun black and white glitter in a clear base.  The glitter comes in three different sizes with some pieces being round and others being hexagonal.  Formula wise this polish was surprisingly great and it apply easily.  Because "Clearly Spotted" is in a clear base coat it isn't meant to be opaque so I decided to test it out over a few other nail polishes.


The first polish I decided to try out with "Clearly Spotted" was OPI's "Look At My Bow!" which is a fun baby pink nail polish.  I think the combination turned out nicely and I received several compliments while wearing my nails this way.


The second nail polish I decided to try out with "Clearly Spotted" was Ciaté's "Shady Lady" which is a light silvery nail polish.  This combination turned out to be a nice neutral looking nail art.  It creates a grey scale that I like a lot.

Overall I am very happy with Maybelline's "Clearly Spotted."  The black and white glitter is very fun and reminds me of a Dalmatian.  I will definitely be wearing this nail polish again and I plan on trying it out over other colored polishes soon!

Zoya "Autumn"


Hi all!  It's Election Day in the United States so while we wait to see who our next President will be let's look at some nail polish!  Today's nail polish is fitting for the end of Autumn and reminds me of all the gorgeous falling leaves.  So without further ado, today's nail polish is Zoya's "Autumn."

"Autumn" is a gorgeous shimmery copper colored nail polish.  Formula wise this nail polish was good and easy to apply.  After two coats of polish, "Autumn" was completely opaque but it did have a few minor streak marks caused by the shimmer.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear this nail polish for six full days before there were one or two minor chips.

Overall I am really happy with Zoya's "Autumn."  Everything about this nail polish is wonderful and I cannot wait to wear this polish again soon!

butterLONDON "The Black Night"


Hi guys and happy Sunday!  I hope everyone enjoyed that extra hour of sleep last night, even if it means the sun will now set by 5pm for the rest of Winter.  Today's nail polish is butterLONDON's "The Black Knight."

"The Black Knight" is a unique black jelly (a nail polish that is made to be buildable) with multi-colored micro glitter in it.  Formula wise "The Black Knight" was great and very easy to apply.  After two coats the polish was completely opaque and had no visible streak marks.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "The Black Knight" for five days before there were some minor tip chips.

Overall I am very pleased with butterLONDON's "The Black Knight."  Everything about this nail polish is nice and it looked fantastic on my nails!  I will definitely rock this nail polish again very soon!

Sephora Formula X "Bombshell"


Hi all!  I hope everyone is having a great Friday, mine has been a disaster thus far.  (Broken computers, misplaced cellphones and a panic attack later I've finally made it to the weekend!!) Today's nail polish is Formula X's "Bombshell" which is the perfect polish for Halloween.  (And yes I know I am a few days after Halloween but I only wear pink polish in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.)

"Bombshell" is a black and orange glitter in a clear base.  The formula of this nail polish was good and the glitter spread evenly on my nails without too much effort.  Since "Bombshell" is in a clear base coat it isn't mean to be worn alone so I decided to test it out over a few colored nail polishes.


The first polish I decided to try out with "Bombshell" was Sally Hansen Hard As Nails in "Black Heart."  This combination was the most Halloween combination that I could possibly make and I will definitely remember this for next year!


The second nail polish I decided to try out with "Bombshell" was Essie's "Virgin Snow."  This combination turned out okay and wasn't awful but at the same time it wasn't my favorite combo.

Overall I am really pleased with Formula X for Sephora's "Bombshell."  I am always a fan of a fun chunky glitter and I cannot wait to rock this nail polish next Halloween!

Sinful Colors "Pumpkin Spice"


Hi guys and happy November!  I hope everyone is excited about the start of a new month (and we are slowly creeping towards Christmas and New Year's!)  Today's nail polish is the perfect polish to Autumn because it represents everyone's favorite Autumn item!  Today's nail polish is Sinful Colors "Pumpkin Spice."

"Pumpkin Spice" is a beautiful glitter polish featuring fuchsia, copper and gold glitter in a clear base.  Formula wise this nail polish is fair but the glitter enjoyed sticking to the brush instead of my nails.  After two coats of "Pumpkin Spice" it was not opaque but it wasn't meant to be because "Pumpkin Spice" is a top coat.  As for chipping, I didn't wear this nail polish by itself for very long so I am not sure how long it would last before chipping.

Overall I really like Sinful Colors "Pumpkin Spice."  This is the perfect glitter for Autumn and I look forward to testing it out on top of a variety of nail polishes soon.

Bonita "Too Cute To Spook"


Hi everyone!  I hope everyone is looking forward to Halloween tomorrow!  I am always fan of a holiday that lets me eat candy!  But with the end of October it also means this is the last pink nail polish in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness.  Today's pink polish is Bonita's "Too Cute To Spook."

"Too Cute To Spook" is a pretty berry color nail polish with some gorgeous silver shimmer.  Formula wise this nail polish was fantastic and very easy to apply.  After two cost, "Too Cute To Spook" was completely opaque and had no streak marks,  In fact it was such a great nail polish because it was basically opaque after only one coat!  (My favorite kind of polish!)  As for chipping, I was able to wear this polish for six full days before there were a few minor chips.

Overall I am super pleased with Bonita's "Too Cute To Spook."  Everything about this nail polish is stellar and it is the perfect polish for Autumn!  I hope everyone has enjoyed all the pink nail polishes this month in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Next month I'll start back with the usual variety of colored polishes.

OPI's "Small+Cute=♥"


Hi everyone!  A few weekends back one of my best friends got married - it was a gorgeous day full of fun.  On her big day I picked out a lovely pastel pink nail polish to go with my wine colored dress.  I will note that this nail polish was professionally done at a nail salon.  (It is also still October so the pink nail polish continues to honor Breast Cancer Awareness.)  So without further ado, today's nail polish is OPI's "Small+Cute=♥."

"Small+Cute=♥" is a fun pastel pink polish that is bright and happy.  For the first time in my life I had my nails done as a gel manicure.  It was an interesting process but I absolutely loved how fast the polish tried.  Formula wise "Small+Cute=♥" was good but after three coats the polish still had some patchy spots.  As for chipping, gel manicures are supposed to last for two weeks and I would say I managed to get mine to last for 10 days.  It wasn't so much that the polish chipped as much as it began to peel off and catch on fabric and my hair.

Overall I am very pleased with OPI's "Small+Cute=♥."  Everything about this nail polish is good and I enjoyed trying out gel nail polish for the first time.  I also enjoyed going to the nail salon, which I reserve as a treat for special occasions.  I do not own this nail polish but I would be willing to buy it and wear it again.
