Snow Day Mani!

   Hello, again, lacquer lovelies! It's been quite a while since I posted because life has been crazy busy lately! Sorry about that. I figured since my family had a snow day today, it would be a perfect time for me to write up a new post. Especially since I pretty much spent most of the day painting my nails and making a few new pairs of polish earrings. Nothing like a snowstorm to use as an excuse to give myself a new mani, right? Right! So onto pretty polishes!
    I've been dying to do a half moon mani since I attempted it last without the hole reinforcements so I finally did one tonight and I love it! It was pretty easy, too. Check it out! Cute, right?
    I recently purchased Gelous from Sally Beauty Supply after reading quite a few pins on Pinterest about how great it was so I was pretty excited to try it and see if it will help my manicures last longer than 3 days. 
    I started with a base coat of OPI Nail Envy then a coat of Gelous. After that was dry I did a coat of Essie- Nothing Else Metals on all my fingers except the ring fingers. On my ring fingers I put two coats of Nicole by OPI- Oh, That's Just Grape with a coat of Gelous in between. The coverage was great with only two coats and I love this shade of purple! Then I put a coat of Nicole by OPI- Party Bus from the Carrie Underwood collection over that. I've been dying to get my hands on this polish so imagine by excitement when I finally found it at a CVS location near me!! I'd been looking for it everywhere! It's so pretty! This polish wasn't too bad to apply, either. I had to fish for the flower shaped glitters a little but it was worth it. I used Seche Vite as my top coat, too.
    On the rest of my fingers I used the hole reinforcements to guide my half moons and did two coats of Oh, That's Just Grape followed by a coat of Gelous, a coat of China Glaze- Fairy Dust and a coat of Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat over all my nails to finish it off!
    I love this look! It wasn't too time consuming, either. I was a little worried that all the coats of Gelous and polish and top coat would make my nail polish look really thick but that was not the case at all! It's so sparkly, shiny and pretty that I can't stop looking at my nails! I hope everyone likes it as much as I do! Enjoy and happy polishing! Till next time!

Pahlish Twelve Days Of Christmas Revisited

        Hello, lovelies! Today, I have the new releases from Pahlish to share with you. There’s 14 polishes total so this will be a photo heavy post. Alright, let’s get into the swatches!      I’m going to start with the first day of Christmas, of course! Partridge in a Pear Tree is a stunning taupe cream with holo flakes, red and green shimmers and multichrome flakes. I used 3 coats and a quick drying top coat for this swatch. The formula for all of these polishes was very easy to work with and I had no problems with any of them. If any of you have ever used Pahlish before, you know that her formula is on point at all times, so it was no surprise that these were the same. I have become a huge fan of neutral polishes lately so this polish stayed on my nails for a full day!        Two Turtledoves is up next. This polish is a grey cream with a blue to pink multichrome shimmer and holo flakes. The blue shimmer is really str...
