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:

If you want to know more about Disney for Target's "White" or China Glaze's "Hey Sailor" check out some of my previous posts!

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

Bundle Monster Color "So Metal"

Hello guys and happy St. Patrick's Day!  (I totally forgot to wear Greene or do any themed nail art!)  So today's nail polish is Bundle Monster Color's "So Metal."  Bundle Monster has re-branded as Maniology but they still do nail polish and nail art items!  Here's how "So Metal" looks in the bottle:

"So Metal" is not shockingly a silver shimmer which can be used as a stamping polish.  The formula is horribly thick - which can be fine for stamping but does not go well for wearing as a stand alone nail polish.  The photo above shows two coats and you can clearly see streaks and it was weird and lumpy.  I think the main issue is I've had this nail polish for a while and it has gone thick and bad.  Since "So Metal" looked horrible on my nails I wasn't able to wear it for more than a photo.  But you can see the shimmer up close in the bottle:

Overall I'm a bit crushed by Bundle Monster Color's "So Metal."  I have tried this nail polish for stamping and it has worked fairly well but lately the polish has gone thick and I can barely get it out of the bottle.  I am undecided if I'll keep "So Metal" around or if I'll look for a new silver nail polish to stamp with.

Mani x Me March Box

Hi everyone and happy Friday!  Spring seems to be trying to arrive here in North Carolina and it is so nice out that I have opened up the windows for some fresh air!  Today in honor of Springtime I am sharing Maniology's March Mani x Me Box!  The theme this month is Hawaiian flora and fauna!

Each month the Mani x Me box includes two nail polishes, two stamping plates, a surprise/specialty item and some delicious gummy candies!  This month's nail polishes are "Coconut" a lovely creamy white and "Hibiscus" a bright and cheerful coral.  They look like this:

"Coconut" and "Hibiscus"

This month both of the stamping plates feature flowers and a variety of birds.  They are lovely and tropical!  The first one is MXM005 which has leaves and flowers:

The second one is MXM006 which has mostly birds and a few flowers:

The last item in the box this month was the specialty item - which is Sulfur's Salve.  Surfers Salve can be used on cuticles or to soothe sunburns, dry skin, bug bites and chapped lips.  It smells of lavender and so far has worked wonders on my Winter chapped lips!  It has an adorable package too:

Overall I am once again thrilled with Maniology's Mani x Me box!  I am in love with all the items and I continue to look forward to receiving a new one each month!  It really is a great way to build a stamping polish and plate collection!

Orly "Macabre Masquerade"

Hey everyone and happy Thursday!  (Which is my Friday this week as I am taking a long weekend!)  Today's nail polish is Orly's "Macabre Masquerade" which is stunning and looks like this in the bottle:

"Macabre Masquerade" is a lovely royal blue polish with rainbow colors micro glitter in it.  The formula of this polish was great and it applied with ease.  After two coats, "Macabre Masquerade" was entirely opaque and streak free.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear this nail polish for four full days before I noticed a couple of tip chips, which is pretty good for a glittery polish.

Overall I am quite pleased with Orly's "Macabre Masquerade."  Everything about this polish is lovely and I think it can be a great year round color to wear!
