Lovey Dovey Lotus

Sounds like a loveable flower yeah? I do love these polishes!

First I wore Lotus from Zoya, a beautiful greyed out purple with hidden shimmer.

I didn't top coat this one, because its getting glitter bombed with Lovey Dovey!


Lovey Dovey is a gorgeous glitter polish from Lynnderella which contains gunmetal and lavender hex glitters, in a kind of grey jelly base. Its discontinued, but is still found available in the polish communities on occassion.


Isn't it pretty? I was drawn to this polish because of a recent purse purchase I made.


Purple is my favorite color and I've been wanting a silvery purple purse for nearly two years and I've been searching all this time and finally found it. Then I found the polish to match!


You can find other Lynnderella polishes on her ebay store. She has a holiday collection coming up!

What's your favorite Lynn or purse color?

Witches Warts and Mystics Fortunes

Happy Halloween! :D

I had a happy discovery at Walgreen's a few weeks ago when I found the Loreal LE Project Runway polishes. I chose my favorite of the three to try out first, The Mystic's Fortune. In the bottle it was the most gorgeous glowy blurple I'd laid eyes on.


On the nail, not so much. The beautiful glowyness has mostly vanished and it was kind of gloopy during application. I used one coat of Seche Vite top coat and the polish ate it.


Perhaps with more topcoat and some sunlight it'd be like the bottle shot, but I decided to go ahead and top it with glitter instead.

Witches Warts from Lacquistry is absolutely stunning in the bottle and on the nail. It was a joy to apply and just look at all those holo glitters! So sparkly! This polish contains holo green, black matte, green matte glitters, each in different sizes. Take a look!


Jenna from Lacquistry says she is on a constant path of creation and inspiration making polish for lacquer-heads from a lacquer-head. Her polishes are made with a clear base and glitters, micas, and pigments - no frankens. All of her polishes are B3F and available via her Etsy Shop.

What are you wearing for Halloween?


Hit Polish: Sunflowers

"There is no blue without yellow and without orange." -- Vincent Van Gogh

This was my answer in a recent naming contest held by Hit Polish on her facebook page.
She chose three winners, and I happened to be one of them!


Sunflowers has light blue, yellow and orange matte glitters in squares and hexes as well as a coppery orange micro glitter.


It was a breeze to apply, no dabbing or reswiping or digging in the bottle.


I wore one coat of Sunflowers over Loreal's Brownie Points, which is a stunning dark chocolately brown.




The glitter is fairly flat so without topcoat its surprisingly smoother than most glitter polishes. I went ahead and topped it with HKG though, because I like a glassy look!



Sunflowers is available on November 1st at the Hit Polish shop on Etsy.
