Orly "Devil May Care"

Hey everyone and welcome to the weekend!  Today's nail polish is Orly's "Devil May Care" which has an absolutely great name!  (Half of my enjoyment of nail polish is how creative the names are!) Here's how this beauty looks in the bottle:

"Devil May Care" is unsurprisingly a red and gold glitter in a clear base coat.  The formula of this nail polish is interesting - sometimes I found it easy to apply evenly and other times I struggled to get the glitter off the brush.  As "Devil May Care" is in a clear base coat it was never meant to be opaque so I decided to test it out over some creme polishes!

The first combination is "Devil May Care" over Disney for Target's "White."  This combination was very basic and made the perfect combination for some Valentine's nail art!

The second pairing was "Devil May Care" over Sephora Formula X's "Nightingale."  I was surprised how pretty this combo was!  The glitter really popped on the dark color to create a unique vampy look!

Overall I like Orly's "Devil May Care."  The glitter combination is happy and fun and goes nicely with anything I paired with it!  I can safely say "Devil may Care" will be staying in my collection for a long time to come!

Neon Water Marble

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday!  Today's nail polish is actually some nail art - or rather an attempt at nail art.  I always love how water marble nails look but I continue to struggle recreating it, but I've decided to give it another go today.  First off I selected some bright Spring colors:

Disney for Target "White", OPI "How Does Your Zen Garden Grow?", Essie "Full Steam Ahead", Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Daisy Dukes" and China Glaze "Pink Voltage."

After setting up my supplies, I applied a base coat and then a single coat of Disney for Target "White" as the base for the design.  Next I used some cuticle peel protector to make the clean up easier and after that it was drops of polish onto the water.  The designs were then created using dotting tools from Amazon. Here's how the prettiest nail looked:

The final thing to do was clean up the nails and apply Orly "Sec N' Dry" as the quick drying top coat to seal the design in!  And then I had a finished look:

Overall I think I got better as I went but only one of the four nails shown were decent enough to be work out!  (Shout out to the ring finger!). I think I should keep up the practice!

Sinful Colors "Rave New World"

Hello guys and happy Monday!  Today's nail polish is Sinful Colors "Rave New World" which was a limited edition polish.  Here's how this beauty looks in the bottle:

"Rave New World" is a lovely sky blue with purple shimmer.  The formula of this nail polish is nice and applied really well to my nails without any struggle.  After two coats, "Rave New World" was completely opaque with no streak marks.  As for chipping, I was able to wear this polish for four or five days before there were some tip chips.  Look at the shimmer up close:

Overall I am quite happy with Sinful Colors "Rave New World."  The color is my favorite part of the polish but for an affordable drugstore brand it lasted a long time on my nails and has a great formula! I can't wait to wear this nail polish again and again!

Wet N' Wild Shine "Lavender Pearlescent"

Hello all and happy happy Sunday!  Has Spring arrived where you live?  Without further ado, today's nail polish is Wet N' Wild's "Lavender Pearlescent."  Here's how it looks in the bottle:

"Lavender Pearlescent" is weirdly enough a baby pink with shimmer instead of a lavender color.  The formula of this nail polish is nice and it applied on my nail without any issue.  After two coats "Lavender Pearlescent" was opaque with a few streak marks from shimmer.  As for chipping, I was able to wear this nail polish for three or four days before there were some small chips.  Look at this pearly shimmer:

Overall I quite like Wet N' Wild's "Lavender Pearlescent."  Everything about this nail polish is lovely which is fabulous for an affordable drugstore brand.  I plan on keeping this color around in my collection for a long while.

Pahlish "Nine & Three Quarters"

Hey all and happy first weekend of Spring!  The sun is shining and it couldn't be prettier out!  Today's nail polish is Pahlish's "Nine & Three Quarters" which is part of their Harry Potter collection.  Pahlish is a lovely indie brand that I have been dying to try for a while now.  So when they released some Harry Potter nail polishes I couldn't resist ordering them!  Here's how "Nine & Three Quarters" looks in the bottle:

"One & Three Quarters" is a really pretty dark blue polish with iridescent flakies!  The formula of this polish was the tiniest bit thick but that helped it apply nicely to my nail with an even layer of flakies!  After only one coat "Nine & Three Quarters" was entirely opaque and streak free.  That being said, I did apply a second coat to test out wear time.  As for chipping, I was able tower this nail polish for five full days before I noticed some minor tip wear.  Can you see how gorgeous the flakes are!?

Overall I am really pleased with Pahlish's "Nine & Three Quarters."  Everything about this nail polish is perfect and I am thrilled to add this brand of polish to my collection!  I highly recommend giving this indie brand a try if you haven't already!  (I know I'll be back for more of their polish!)

Zoya "Adina"

Hi guys and happy Tuesday!  Today's nail polish is Zoya's "Adina" which is perfect for the transition from Winter to Spring!  (It finally looks like Spring is making its way to North Carolina so hopefully this nail polish just helps it along!)

"Adina" is a gorgeous purple and green shifting nail polish.  The formula of "Adina" was slightly thick though nothing that couldn't be worked with.  After two coats, the nail polish was fully opaque and only had one or two streak marks from the shimmer.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Adina" for five days before there were a few tip chips.  Look how pretty this is up close:

Overall I am really pleased with Zoya's "Adina."  Everything about this nail polish is fun and happy and I cannot wait to wear it throughout the Springtime season!

Baseball Nails

Hello everyone and happy Monday!  The sunshine was out and it finally feels like Spring - which can only mean one thing: BASEBALL!  So today's nail polish is actually some fun and simple baseball nail art to celebrate!  First I needed to pick out some polishes:

Disney for Target's "White" and China Glaze's "Hey Sailor."

In case you haven't seen a baseball here's a picture from Google Images to give you an idea:

To start off the design I applied three coats of Disney for Target's "White."  My nails looked like this:

After that I used some nail art tools and China Glaze's "Hey Sailor" to draw on the design.  I used some of my tools from Amazon - just a basic set of dotting tools and brushes.  Then my nails looked like this:

Overall I really like how these simple nails.  I grew up watching and playing baseball so these are very nostalgic to me.
