The Polish Diary

So awhile back I won a great giveaway from VEROblog and the prize was a $20 Apothica  gift card. I knew immediately that I would be purchasing another Deborah Lippmann polish to add to my collection. Last time I bought a Lippmann it was a toss up between Lady Sings the Blues and Across the Universe. Lady Sings the Blues eventually won out but I knew I had to get my hands on Across the Universe. So obviously that is what I picked up with my gift card. To my surprise thought I had a little left on another gift card so I decided to try out some Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream that so many rave about. Across the Universe is so beautiful in real life. My camera just could not capture all the beautiful green and blue glitter suspended in a navy blue jelly polish. I am so happy to have this polish in my collection now.  I have to say I also love the Burt's Bees LBCC. It does not stink like some other Burt's Bees products I have tried in the past s...

Hi Guys! I got the Photoshop itch a couple days back and I have totally overhauled the blog. I hope you guys like it because I DO! Today I have a review for a polish I received from Everbella . This is X&D Red Shatter . This shatter has a very matte finish so for the photo below I am wearing top coat. I actually attempted to do a reverse shatter like I have in the past. The colors were not as close as I thought so it turned out a little different than I had imagined.  For the reverse shatter I alternated Zoya Sooki and OPI Glitzerland. I then reversed X&D Red Shatter and Color Club Gold Shatter. I love the look of reversed shatters. I plan on trying this with a different combo next time. Maybe black and red perhaps?..... X&D Red Shatter retails for $4.99 and can be purchased on Everbella.com . Don't forget to use my exclusive coupon code for %10 off!

I am back!! Sorry last week was spring break and I seriously took the week off from my laptop. That meant not posting but I have some awesome mani's to show you. I also have bought some super awesome polishes that I can not wait to show you. Well on to what I have for you today. I have seen this mani floating around the Internet as well as Pinterest. It is a half moon mani with flakies. As if the half moon mani wasn't cool enough let's throw flakies into the mix! Yes, Please! Pretty awesome right?! This is Wet n Wild Black Creme with Finger Paints Special Effects Twisted. I will try and post more later on tonight or tomorrow. Be sure and follow my Facebook page as I might have something exciting going on this weekend.

Hi Guys! Sorry for lack there of posts. I have been busy as I am back to work now and have school as well. I work in a tourist town so I get laid off in the off season and the people are starting to flood back in to town. The tornado we had last week has thrown a small kink in some businesses but for the most part we are back in the swing of things just in time for Spring Break! I have been lacking on my manicures as well as my pedicures. I have no polish on my toes right now which for me is soooo weird! I always have paint on my toes but I just didn't feel like it the other night. Any who I do have a new polish to show to you today. Glitter Gal Lizard Belly is a polish that sells on Llarowe and maybe Polish Ninja yet although I have yet to look at their Glitter Gal section to see if this beauty is in there. Lizard Belly is a dark green polish that is loaded with holo gorgeousness. I have wore this polish once before and I love it more and more every time I wear it. I cut my nails...

This is a short post today but I wanted to show you my mani I did with dotting tools the other day. I used this tutorial to achieve this mani! I recommend you check out her tutorial for everything you need to know about this. I used my dotting tools that I received from EverBella . I would call this a puzzle mani but I have a more literal version of that planned for later this week! Remember that you can still use this great coupon to get some great goodies from EverBella ! I will be back tomorrow with another great polish. *Items sent for honest review

Hi Guys! I have another Claire's Magnetic polish to show you today. I got this polish along with the Gold/Olive Magnetic a couple weeks ago and I have actually worn this polish quite a few times since then. This polish has the same wonky brush as the other one but I still love it. The magnet on this one is much like my Nails Inc. Trafalgar Square wavy magnet. The Claires's magnet polishes retail for $8.50 but they are usually BOGO 1/2 off. I am currently working on another dotting tool mani. If all goes well I will get that up tomorrow.
