Polished For Days Little Sea Spies – PPU October 2018

Polished For Days Little Sea Spies – PPU October 2018

I think that I have finally gotten through all of my untried Polish Pickup purchases! I am really going to try to not purchase more until I get through all of the things I have purchased recently. Well, I did buy a couple of polishes from February PPU so they technically aren’t mine yet so they don’t count. Today I am going to share Polished For Days Little Sea Spies with you, and I hope that you like it as much as I did. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

JReine Saints & Sinners

JReine Saints & Sinners

What have you been watching on Netflix? The other day I was looking through new arrivals, and I saw a Spanish movie called The Tree Of Blood. What immediately caught my attention is that Nawja Nimri is in it, AND it’s directed by Julio Médem. One of my favorite movies of all time is Los Amantes del Círculo Polar (Lovers Of The Artic Circle) and they were both involved in that movie. I haven’t yet watched it, but it’s definitely in my queue. For today’s post, I have JReine Saints & Sinners which is a flaky/OGUP topper. Let me show you some swatches below.

So it looks like we’re getting ready for yet another wave of rain here in Southern California. I’m not going to complain just yet because I’d rather have rain than a heat wave for sure. How are things in your neck of the woods? As I’ve mentioned before, I’m trying to get through my stash of untrieds to justify buying more polish. I just wish I could get my act together and add more stuff to my blog sale. Anywho, today I have Colors by Llarowe Smoke Screen to share with you so let’s take a look at my swatches below.

JReine Original Lust – PPU October 2018

JReine Original Lust – PPU October 2018

Since it’s barely the 6th of the month and I already purchased 6 polishes, I’m trying to get through my untrieds so I don’t feel extra crappy for being a failure at limiting my polish purchases. I think that if I keep my purchases to just these 6 polishes for the month I will feel ok, but I really need to get better about buying stuff. I feel like I’ve pretty much curbed my make up spending so now I need to focus on polish. I am definitely purchasing less, but I shouldn’t be buying ANY when I have so many untrieds. Well, today I pulled out one of those untrieds! JReine Original Lust was a purchase from back in October 2018. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

I know it’s just Tuesday, but I’m already feeling tired. I think that because the weather has been so gray lately, my mood is just mirroring it. I have a lot of stuff going on this week so I’m glad that I was able to get a bunch of swatching done over the weekend. I’ve been trying to motivate myself to add a bunch of stuff to my blog sale, but that hasn’t happened either. Over the weekend I watch a few episodes of that Marie Kondo show on Netflix and I got the urge to purge. Hopefully I’ll get to it soon. So for today’s post, I have JReine Lagniappe which is a gorgeous topper that I know you will love. Let’s take a look at my swatches below. Continue reading “JReine Lagniappe”

Zoya Innocence Collection

Zoya Innocence Collection

I sure love rain, but I don’t like some of the problems that come with these storms. It has been raining on and off since Saturday and we keep getting flood warnings. I  am going to say what everyone says: Californians don’t know how to drive in the rain. It is pretty ridiculous but I guess this is what happens when you have gorgeous weather 90% of the year. Anywho, since it was raining, I ended up doing some swatches of the Zoya Innocence Collection which arrived early. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

JReine Black Friday

JReine Black Friday

Hello friends! How is your week going so far? I am dealing with a little stress and anxiety so I’m just trying to take it one step at a time for now. Things are going well, but I’m just always anticipating things going south. I find it very difficult to be one of those optimistic people, but it’s something that I am working on. Today I have yet another polish that I purchased a couple of months ago. JReine Black Friday is a polish that was available…on Black Friday only. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Colors by Llarowe How About A Brownie Dogg? – PPU February 2019

On the heels of showing you the first polish in this fun duo, today I’m going to show you Colors by Llarowe How About A Brownie Dogg? After KBShimmer’s pot inspired polish, a brownie inspired polish seems to hit all the right notes. I do think that Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg made a strange pair, but they sure were entertaining to watch. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

KBShimmer Fo Shizzle – PPU February 2019

Are you guys ready for February Polish Pickup? Well, for the month of February, the theme is Duos & Pairs so I’m definitely looking forward to all the awesome polishes.

For today’s post, I have KBShimmer Fo Shizzle to share with you so let’s take a look at my swatches below. Continue reading “KBShimmer Fo Shizzle – PPU February 2019”

Colors by Llarowe Fake Tan Man

Colors by Llarowe Fake Tan Man is probably the polish that I have wanted the most from any Polish Pick Up month, and I initially managed to miss it because I forgot to set my alarm. I was super bummed because it sold out so quickly, but I bought a few other pretties to console myself. Late that day, it was announced that the cap would be raised and I managed to snag a bottle, and I was soooo happy! Let me show you how pretty this polish looks over a deep red base.
