The Polish Diary

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...

Here is one of the beauties I received from my BF for Christmas. I also received Glitter Gal Lizard Belly which I will post soon. He knew I really wanted these two polishes and ordered them from Llarowe for me! I was beyond excited to open them on Christmas. Now I have heard from fellow bloggers that this polish is very sheer. The bottle of polish itself is so small so I decided to layer it over a more opaque color to cut down on the coats I would need. I did not have any colors that were close to the very light gray that Light As A Feather is but chose OPI Skull & Glossbones because I thought it would layer nicely. I think this polish is marketed as a white holo but white it is not. The holo is weaker in Light As A Feather as in Lizard Belly. Light As A Feather is a very demure holo but beautiful nonetheless. I am anxious to see the new Glitter Gals in the larger bottles but I am not excited for the prices. 

So since I started on my journey to polish addiction about six months ago I have wanted only one polish..OPI My Private Jet Black Holo. I don't have an extra $100 bucks lying around so I heard that Color Club Revvvolution satisfied some girls need for My Private Jet. I decided to try and get my hands on it and I found it for around $6 on ebay. After I actually bought this polish I started hearing rumors about a dud batch of Revvvolution that was not holo. I was so nervous to get my polish and it finally arrived yesterday. To my relief it was not a dud version and it is so beautiful. This is one coat of Revvvolution with a top coat of Seche. I was happy that this polish was so opaque in one coat. Lastly, we have a direct sunlight photo! My Verdict: While I still want MPJ holo this has held me over until I can afford it. I was really impressed with this polish and while it is not a OMG or a DS holo it is still equally beautiful. Hope you have a great weekend!

I actually got inspired to do this mani because of the polish group I follow on Facebook. Yesterday they had the Monday mani challenge and half moons were the challenge. I have never attempted this kind of mani before but I had all the things I needed for it so I decided to give it a go. I used the circle reinforcer to make the actually half moon. I started off with a base of China Glaze OMG then laid down my circle reinforcers and then painted on a quick coat of Wet n Wild Black Creme. To make the half moons crisp and clean you must remove the circle reinforcer off very quickly after painting the black. I have to say this is one of the easiest and quickest manis I have done. I also have to say that this is one of my favorite manis of all time. I can't stop staring at my nails. They look so long and dare I say..sexy! I think this was a very cool combo and now that I am confident in doing half moons I will be sure to try out again very soon.

I'm Baaaack!!!! I am happy to say that school is over and I am back to blogging! I have missed you all so much and I am getting really excited for Christmas. My whole wish list for x-mas was mostly polish with a few other items sprinkled in. I have not had alot of time for manis but I have a x-mas themed one to show you. I used a base of China Glaze OMG and alternated OPI Getting Miss Piggy With It and Fresh Frog of Bel Air. I really love this combo and I wish they made Christmas ornaments that looked like these! I will have much more Christmas manis over the next week. I placed an order with Dollish Polish for the Limited Edition A Christmas Story Glitter Trio's. I have been stalking the mail man waiting for them to arrive. I will post pics as soon as I get them in. I am hoping tomorrow!

Why hello my lovely readers! I have missed you guys. Sorry I have not posted in a long time but school is kicking my butt this semester. I have had massive amounts of homework and extra time spent after work is with my bf or doing more homework. I have been painting my nails though. I have also been taking pictures and have them uploaded to the computer but that was as far as they made it. Until today anyways. I will try to have some more posts this week as I am slowly getting back into a schedule. I have another beauty for you today, China Glaze OMG. This was another one of my swap polishes from Gia from Bottles and Bottles of Polish. I freaking love this polish so much and like the other holo I was gifted(2NITE), I felt like it was a sin to take it off. I like the look of the linear holo but the scattered effect of the DS polishes are quite gorgeous as well. I have OPI DS Designer that I still have yet to show you guys and I will swatch that soon. It is a beautiful nude holo and if...

So I recently just received my first holos in a swap with Gia from Bottles and Bottles of Polish . I was totally not worthy of them but I am so happy I have them! I got OMG and 2NITE in the swap and could not wait to use 2NITE. Blue is my favorite color and a blue holo is just amazing! (Sun) (Sun) (Flash) I also got a new camera for my bday so I am playing around with it a bunch. I will be sad to take this polish off. It almost feels like a sin to even take it off. I want to thank Gia again because without her gifting these to me I would have never had the chance myself to get these. On another note my nails are getting really long. Well for me this is super long. I am usually a nubbins kind of gal but mine have not broke off yet and they are staying strong. I also got my first cuticle remover, CND Cuticle Away, and I love it! I have never used a cuticle remover before and I think I am a tad addicted now! Well back to school work. I would much rather blog........
