China Glaze "Kill'em With Kindness"

Hello All and welcome to the weekend!!  Today's nail polish is China Glaze's "Kill'em With Kindness" from their My Little Pony collection.  Here's how this happy nail polish look sin the bottle:

"Kill'em With Kindness" is a pretty pastel yellow creme.  The formula of this nail polish is good - it applies well but like many pastels it is a little streaky.  After three coats "Kill'em With Kindness" looked great and was opaque and streak free!  Look at this lovely Springtime pastel up close:

Overall I am very pleased with China Glaze's "Kill'em With Kindness."  I love having a pastel yellow in my collection and I look forward to wearing this nail polish in Spring and Summer!

Essie "Kaf-tan"

Hey everyone and happy happy Thursday!  Today's nail polish is Essie's "Kaf-tan," which is a really nice chill color.  Here's how this Autumnal polish looks in the bottle:

"Kaf-tan" is a really pretty mustard yellow creme.  The formula of this nail polish is perfect - it applied so nicely to my nail and was opaque after only a single coat!  I love when a polish only takes one coat because it makes life easier.  Look at this lovely Autumn color up close:

Overall I am in love with Essie's "Kaf-tan."  Everything from the color to it being opaque in one coats makes this nail polish a winner in my eyes!  I can't wait until this Autumn as this will definitely be one of my go to polishes!

Fair Maiden Polish "So-fish-ticated"

Hi all and happy middle of the week!  (Almost to the weekend again!)  Today's nail polish is Fair Maiden Polish's "So-fish-ticated" which I purchased from a Polish Pick-Up.  Here's how this gorgeous indie looks in the bottle:

"So-fish-ticated" is a stunning purple/blue with iridescent flakies!  This nail polish is literally one of the prettiest I have ever seen - no regrets on adding it to my collection.  The formula of "So-fish-ticated" is great - it applied in thin even layers and was very buildable.  I applied four coats to get the full flakie effect! Look at this amazing polish up close:

Mani x Me August 2021 Box

Hey everyone, here's a second suprise post for today!  So without ado, today's post is another throwback from last year - it is Maniology's Mani x Me's box from August 2021.  The theme for August 2021 was the Wild West.  Each subscription box includes two stamping polishes, two stamping plates and a surprise extra nail art item  This theme was a lot of fun as I love all the western items!  Here are this month's nail polishes:

"Saddle Up" and "Lasso"

This month's nail polish colors are perfect - they fit the theme perfectly.  "Saddle Up" is a gorgeous red-brown creme and "Lasso" is a bright golden shimmer.  This month's first plate is MXM061 which features cowgirls!  Look how cute:

The second stamping plate this month is MXM062 which has amazing old west scenery - and I cannot wait to try this plate out!  Look how fun it is:

August's surprise item was actually a third stamping plate, which is neat and doesn't happen all the time!  The third plate is M246 and it features all sorts of western designs from ropes to desert flowers.  The lasso hearts just get me!

Overall I am super thrilled with this month's Mani x Me subscription box!  Each month I look forward to getting my surprise and so far the themes have been great and I have never received a duplicate item!

Sephora by OPI "Nifty Shades Of Grey"

Hello guys and happy Monday!  Today's nail polish is Sephora by OPI's "Nifty Shades Of Grey" which is obviously a call to the books/movie 50 Shades of Grey.  Sephora by OPI is a long retired brand that used to be sold at Sephora stores so this polish unfortunately not available anywhere currently.  Here's how this polish looks in the bottle:

"Nifty Shades Of Grey" is a grayish purple-green color shift.  The color shift is very pretty but the gray dulls the look of the polish on my nails.  Formula wise "Nifty Shades Of Grey" is very thin but it applied well to my nails.  After four coats the polish was mostly opaque but did have a few patchy spots.  Here's how the color shift looks up close:

Overall I have mixed feelings about Sephora by OPI's "Nifty Shades Of Grey."  This polish could have been so much prettier than it turned out to be on my nails, but it is also an older polish so maybe it's faded with age.  More than likely this polish won't be staying in my collection much longer.

Ciate "Birthday Blue"

Hi everyone and happy Sunday!  Today's nail polish is Ciate's "Birthday Blue," which I actually wore on my birthday earlier this year!  (But I saved it for now!)  Here's how this stunning blue looks in the bottle:

"Birthday Blue" is unsurprising a blue polish - it is a stunning royal blue with blue shimmer.  The formula of this polish is fabulous and applied nicely to my nails without much effort.  After two coats "Birthday Blue" was completely opaque and had no streak marks.  Look a this gorgeous polish up close:

Overall I am in love with Ciate's "Birthday Blue."  The color is amazing and it the perfect way to say cheers to being 32!
