Since it’s hotter than Satan’s crotch lately, I’ve kind of been in a shitty mood. In case you don’t know this about me, I hate the summer. Pretty strange considering I was born and raised in Southern California, right? Well, I was watching the news and it’s supposed to be in the 90’s on Saturday. I am so NOT looking forward to that. I’m going to turn into a raging lunatic trying to stay cool and this is only the beginning. Now we just have to wait for all the lovely wildfires we get each Summer. Anyway, I should stop being such a Summer-hater and just focus on all the pretty nail polish colors that come out during the hot season–yay! Speaking of pretty polish, today I’m showing you a stamped mani that I did with Ninja Polish Divinity as my base.

I’ve previously shown you Ninja Polish Divinity so I’m not going to go on and on about it. It’s glowy. It’s hot. It’s gorgeous. You get it.

And here I decided to use a design from Winstonia Store plate W112 along with the fantabulous Silver Mercedes from Pure Ice. I’m sure people are tired me of saying this, but if you love to stamp, you have to get this polish–it’s stamping perfection for only $2.00. I am very happy with how this mani turned out. I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting to like the Winstonia Store plates as much as I do so I’m pleasantly surprised.

The weekend is almost here–so what big plans do you have? On Saturday I’m going to one of my best friends sister’s wedding. It should be fun but now I have to figure out what to wear and what to do with my nails–decisions, decisions!!! Well, I hope you’re having a nice day and hope your Friday isn’t too crazy although I’m anticipating a shit storm at work tomorrow. Such is life! Thanks for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon!

I had such high hopes for today! I went in to work thinking positive thoughts and telling myself that things aren’t so bad. Well, what do you know? Work didn’t completely suck ass today! I did have to deal with a few psychos, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle. By the time I got out of work, I was feeling good so I headed over to Target to buy a few things–nothing fun: toilet paper, some razors and some laundry detergent. I wanted to treat myself so I got my favorite iced triple venti non-fat caramel macchiato. Once I was done, I was putting my bags in the trunk and I placed my keys in my purse so I could hold on to my yummy Starbucks. I then proceeded to place my bags–including my purse–in the trunk of my car and closed it. I literally saw it happening in slow motion. FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK! I didn’t have my phone so it’s not like I could call anyone and even if I could borrow someone’s phone, I don’t have any phone numbers memorized. So I walked back into Target and they let me call AAA. However, AAA couldn’t help me because my wallet was stuck in the car so I couldn’t pay for a membership on the spot. I’ve been a member for a long time, but I let my membership lapse in the last year or so. Anyway, they put me in touch with another local place where they charged me $70 to unlock my car. An hour later, I was on my way home. So, how was your day? I hope not craptacular like mine. Anyway, today I’m going to show you a new pretty: Ninja Polish Divinity!

Ninja Polish Divinity is like Fantasy Fire on crack. In my opinion, this polish is way too opaque to really be used as a layering polish. I don’t have Clarins 230 but I do have Max Factor Fantasy Fire (check out previous swatches of FF here) and it’s one of those polishes that will just take your breath away. As gorgeous as FF is, it’s not really meant to be worn alone because it will need a lot of coats and it’s too small and precious to waste. Divinity is opaque at two coats which is what I applied for these swatches. I also wanted to mention that this polish dries to a satiny finish. In case you were wondering, the formula is perfection.

What a difference some top coat makes! I love how this glows and I just couldn’t stop staring at my nails.

I found it impossible to catch the color shift in this polish when I was photographing it with direct light–natural or artificial. These pictures were taken indoors with very low and indirect lighting.  The gorgeous color shift is very apparent in person but my pictures just wouldn’t capture it. At least these pictures give you an idea of all the amazing colors in this polish.

Anywho, I hope you’re doing well today, and thanks so much for catching up with me today!
