KBShimmer Sandy PPU August 2018

I’m kinda freaking out that it’s almost August. I mean, it seems that Summer is just rushing by! I am not complaining because I hate the heat and I don’t have AC, but it’s kind of scary that the next thing I know it will be 2019. If you keep up with all the happenings in Polish Pickup, you would know that the hardworking ladies from PPU took July off which gave makers the opportunity bring back fan favorites. Now that August is around the corner, makers are taking their inspiration from musicals. For the month of August, Christy took her inspiration from Grease and brought you KBShimmer Sandy. Let’s take a look at it below. Continue reading “KBShimmer Sandy PPU August 2018”

Hello there! Are you melting yet? The last few days have been unbearable, and I almost want to cry when I think that this is just the beginning of the Summer season. Living in a coastal city, I do not have AC because it’s not usually this hot here, but I guess global warming is here to stay. I think I have to suck it up and get at least a portable AC unit to help me survive the Summer. Are you ready for some fun news? Starting this month, Color4Nails will have 1-2 guest makers who will be creating group custom exclusive shades that will be up for pre-order.

It is a little surreal that Fall collections are starting to pop up when Summer is barely getting underway. Fortunately, it has not been ridiculously hot here lately, but I know that it’s just a matter of time before the heat really gets going. Last week I went looking for polish stuff at some of my usual haunts and lo and behold, I saw some of the new Fall collections. I did one of my usual grabby hands rituals and got way more stuff than I should have. Are you ready to check out the China Glaze Ready to Wear Collection for Fall 2018?

Hello there! Long time no blog! I know I’ve been MIA for a while, but I really felt like I needed a break. It wasn’t so much about being tired of nail stuff or blogging, I was just feeling mentally and physically down. I’ve been really busy at work, which I really like, but I also find myself just exhausted and blogging is like the last thing I want to do after a long week. I have definitely still been looking at all the new stuff coming out and I have indulged a bit, so you’ll be seeing some of the new stuff soon on my blog. Today I have the latest collection from one of my favorite salon brands; the Zoya Jelly Brites collection is a trio of saturated jellies that you can wear alone or layer to create some fun combinations.

KBShimmer Wanderlust Collection

KBShimmer Wanderlust Collection

I basically spent my early 20’s traveling all around the world, and I am grateful that I had these opportunities every second of my life. I started traveling during my year abroad and basically did not stop until my mid 20’s. This was possible because after I got back home from France, I took a job with Air France and then with Delta. It was such an awesome time in my life, and I always look back on my experiences as opportunities that helped shape the person I am today. Today I have a travel inspired collection to share with you so naturally I am excited. The KBShimmer Wanderlust Collection is a beautiful 8 piece collection that I am sure you will enjoy. Let me show you some swatches below. Continue reading “KBShimmer Wanderlust Collection”

Illyrian Mixed Emotions

Illyrian Mixed Emotions

Happy first Monday of June! Blah! So just when I thought that things were gonna get better this month, we start June with a broken appliance. Is it sad that I wasn’t even surprised when my fridge broke? The only good thing is that it broke now and not in the middle of Summer. I still had to throw out all of our food because it went bad hella fast. My new fridge arrives in a few days so I’m looking forward to that. Today I have one of my gorgeous purchases from May PPU to share with you. Illyrian Mixed Emotions is such a beauty! I know you’re going to enjoy it as much as me.

Pahlish Mother Of Invention

Pahlish Mother Of Invention

You don’t know how excited I was when PPU announced that the inspiration for May 2018 would be the 90’s. I consider myself a 90’s child/teen so I was super excited to see what the makers would come up with. One of the first polishes that I knew would be mine is Pahlish Mother Of Invention because of those beautiful warm brown/burgundy tones. Let me show you some swatches below.

Colors by Llarowe Hang Ten

Colors by Llarowe Hang Ten

Lately I’ve seen quite a few people comment that they are tired of seeing Unicorn Pee polishes and others have questioned how limited the stock is if makers continue to put out polishes with this rare pigment. In all honesty, I don’t really care where the UP is coming from, I will continue to purchase them because I love the effect of the original unicorn pee pigment. I have heard that there are makers who still have stockpiles of the pigment from before it was discontinued, so I hope to see more beautiful creations. Today I have a polish for you that contains some of this beautiful pigment: Colors by Llarowe Hang Ten . Let me show you some swatches below. Continue reading “Colors by Llarowe Hang Ten”
