Woooooo do I have a pretty polish for you today! I’ve had this bottle in my melmers for a while now and just hadn’t been inspired to use it. Sometimes when you purchase something that has been on your wish list, you don’t even want to use it for fear of running out which is a real concern with older polishes that are no longer available. I actually purchased OPI Movin’ Out for a fairly reasonable price on Ebay. I don’t remember the exact price but I know it was under $15. Out of the 8 polishes in the 2003 OPI Holiday on Broadway Collection, I think this is one of my absolute favorites. I would love to get the rest of the polishes, but realistically I will probably only end up with Man of La Mancha and La Boheme since I don’t want to pay a small fortune for the others–especially the silver and gold holos. Anyway, let me show you this pretty. I layered it over two different polishes to show you how different it can look depending on your base color. Onto the swatches!

KBShimmer Launch Party Collection
When I think of KBShimmer, there are a few things that come to mind: awesome polish, amazing and fast shipping and great customer service. I also see the brand as one of the OG brands in the indie nail polish community and feel fortunate to be part of the bloggers who get to share new collections with you. Imagine my excitement when I saw the details for the KBShimmer Launch Party Collection. For KBShimmer’s 10th anniversary, they really went all out and revamped their look. I can’t wait for you to see everything! Continue reading “KBShimmer Launch Party Collection”
Moo Moo’s Signatures Color4Nails Exclusives
Hello! How is your Wednesday going so far? I am doing pretty well, and I’m excited for my my nephew’s upcoming birthday party. Little Jonas turns 2 next week and we are going to his birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese’s. I can’t believe he’s been around for 2 years causing all sorts of commotion. I love to see how different he is from his older brother–they are so similar yet so different. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll have plenty of stories from his birthday party because beer and pizza always creates an interesting environment. Lately it feels like I’ve been a swatching machine so I’m trying to come up with some plan for more balance. I don’t want to spend my whole weekends swatching and writing up posts, but there are so many pretties to play with and show you! I might be switching up my posting schedule in the next few weeks to avoid burning out. In the meantime, I have plenty of things scheduled to show you, one of them being the Moo Moo’s Signatures Color4Nails Exclusives. Continue reading “Moo Moo’s Signatures Color4Nails Exclusives”
Bee’s Knees Lacquer Assassin’s Creed Origins Trio
Are you into video games? I’ll be honest…I’m stuck in the past when it comes to video games. I am a child of the 80’s so I grew up playing NES and eventually SNES. Don’t mention Sega to me, because I will get mad. I spent countless hours playing Mario Bros (read this post about the day I beat the game), Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Super Metroid and my favorite game of all time: Chrono Trigger. Has anyone made a Chrono Trigger nail polish collection?? Anyway, enough about me being old. Today I have some pretties to share with you that are also inspired by a video game. The Bee’s Knees Lacquer Assassin’s Creed Origins Trio is a small and cohesive collection with beautiful colors and finishes. Let me show you some swatches below.

Bee’s Knees Lacquer COTM Duo – March 2018
I know that February was a short month, but why does it feel like the first two months of the year just flew by? I can’t believe that it’s March already! I sound so much like my parents right now; is this what it feels like to get old? Pretty soon I’ll start to use phrases like “back in the day” and “kids today” on a regular basis. Since I had a bunch of polishes to swatch this weekend, I took the opportunity to give away some polishes. I was watching Hoarders on Hulu as I decluttered a bit to help me get more motivated. lol My family calls me the anti-hoarder because I get so worked up getting rid of stuff that I throw out or give away tons of stuff that I should keep. I just get so paranoid about having clutter, that I want to get rid of everything. This is especially hard when it comes to my nail polish. This weekend I swatched about 20 polishes, and today I want to share with you the Bee’s Knees Lacquer COTM Duo for March 2018. What is COTM, you ask? Why…Color of the Month, of course! Let me show you some swatches below. Continue reading “Bee’s Knees Lacquer COTM Duo – March 2018”
China Glaze Classic Chromes – #vintagepolishfriday
Hello dear readers, and welcome to another installment of Vintage Polish Friday. I was looking through my melmers trying to decide what polish to use for today, and I really wanted to use one of the many China Glaze Classic Chromes that I picked up a few years ago. I feel very lucky that I seem to have access to a lot of dusties, but I haven’t been to any in a while. When I found these, I picked up quite a few bottles as well as some Aroma Café polishes. I get so excited when I find fun old polishes like these. Unfortunately, sometimes the formula isn’t exactly nice when the polish is this old. Let me show you some swatches below.

Tonic Lagniappe
Believe it or not, this is the last of my unswatched Tonics. I have one arriving any day now and possibly three in the coming month so it’s not going to remain that way for long. I feel kind of accomplished for having gone through a handful of untrieds because I always feel guilty for adding more polishes to the pile. How do you rationalize buying more and more polish when you know that you have a massive stash of untrieds? Even when you do use your polish as soon as you get it, does it bother you to know that your stash just keeps growing and you won’t really get the chance to use the same color often? I think that this is the main reason that I am focusing on buying less polish and using what I already have in my melmers. I’m going to have to delve further into my melmers to pull out some untried gems. Today’s untried is Tonic Lagniappe from the Secrets & Soulmates Collection. Let me show you some swatches below.
KBShimmer If You Want My Bodice – PPU March 2018
Are your ninja fingers ready for Polish Pickup Pack this Friday? I have a few polishes I CANNOT miss out on for March, so I’m working out, carb loading and doing finger stretches so I can Hunger Game that ish. I am really mad at myself for missing out on previous polishes because I wasn’t prepared, but there’s not much I can do about it now. One of the BEST things about PPU is the shipping; they keep shipping within the US and Canada at $3!!! Say what?! Today I have KBShimmer’s contribution to PPU for March 2018: KBShimmer If You Want My Bodice. Let me show you some swatches below. Continue reading “KBShimmer If You Want My Bodice – PPU March 2018”
Zoya Thrive Collection Spring 2018
Hey there! How’s your Monday going? After a very short week last week, it’s a little painful to get back into the swing of things.

Bee’s Knees Lacquer Color4Nails Exclusives
How’s your Saturday going? Since I had such a short work week, I feel like Saturday just crept up on me, but I’m definitely not complaining. I don’t feel like I have too much to take care of this weekend, so I’m going to chill out, do some swatching and maybe binge watch Grace and Frankie. Have you caught that series on Netflix? I personally love it but haven’t had the time to binge the 4th season. Maybe this is my weekend for it! Today I have some really gorgeous polishes to share with you. If you don’t know about the brand Bee’s Knees, then you may be living under a rock because they have been on fire! The two shades I have for you today are the Bee’s Knees Lacquer Color4Nails Exclusives that launch tomorrow on the Color4Nails site. Let me show you some swatches.
