Of Life and Lacquer

I’ve been feeling so damn blah for the last few days and then bam! I got my period. TMI, I know…but this is a good thing since I had not gotten my period in about 6 months. As someone with PCOS, this is a regular occurrence so I tend not to dwell on it. I’ve been feeling stressed out and restless so I hope that it was just my hormones acting up.  It has definitely felt weird not being able to do my nails these past few days but it serves me right for not wearing gloves and for impulsively nubbing my nails. I do hope that both my hands and nails have recovered by next week so I can start swatching the OPI Oz Collection (and launch my giveaway for a mini set of Oz Polishes) and the China Glaze Avant Garden Collection. I also have a Venique collection to swatch and a few other indies that will be here any day now so I’m going to have my work cut out for me. Today, I am going to show you a polish I swatched a couple of weeks ago: Silly Lily Winterberry.

Out of the three Silly Lily creations that I purchased recently, this is by far my favorite. I love that the base is a lightly tinted jelly and love all the various glitters. The black glitter in this makes me feel like I sprinkled cracked black pepper all over my nails. I can imagine that this polish would look amazing over a very light and delicate purple or lilac. I don’t think I have ever seen anything similar to this polish so I hope that you are excited to learn that I am giving away a brand new bottle of Silly Lily Winterberry to one lucky reader. This giveaway is open internationally so please make sure that you know the customs regulations and restrictions of your country before you enter.
