I wore one coat over a brown polish, but I have no idea which brown polish. Love this topper, it is one of the most unique in my collection.

Leesha's Lacquer: Geodes & Gemstones

Each of the polishes in Leesha's geode/gemstone collection is inspired by and named after gorgeous gemstones and geodes! The collection launches on January 26th at Leesha's Lacquer.

The thermals definitely change as they should, I tend to have hot hands that heat up super fast even when dunked in ice water for 5 minutes. I've shown the polishes the best that I can and have reached out to the blogging community to learn new ways of photographing thermals. So I am going to do the thing people tell bloggers not to do and that is point it out and apologize for lack of perfect contrast for these shades. That said, I hope that you enjoy the review while keeping in mind that the tips in my photos are not quite as dark as they are when they're super cold.

Tourmaline - A pastel pink to dark grey thermal with green shift and holo glitters.

Amethyst - A lavender purple to dark grey thermal with a purple to gold shift and holo glitters.
This is my favorite of this collection. There's just something awesome about purple and grey together. -swoon-

I wore two coats of each color, I recommend using few brush strokes on the second coat and floating the brush with each. Formula was good, clean up minimal as the brush and polish are easy to control. I hope you've enjoyed my review, and I promise I'm not yet giving up on swatching and shooting thermals. I will figure this out!

Get your own set of thermals on January 26th at Leesha's Lacquer.

Valentine Watermarble with Girly Bits and Pretty Serious

I was so smitten by the Girgly Bits Fall collection, that I went back to the shop and purchased every cream Pam had for sale. I'm happy to report that Hoosier Daddy and Lover's Coral both watermarble just as well as those fall shades!

I also used Pretty Serious Presence, which is a fantastic addition for watermarbling similar shades. What will you wear on your nails for Valentine's Day?
