The Polish Diary

Today I have something cool to show you. I received some dotting tools from Everbella to review on my blog and I was so excited to use them. I have seen many other people online with the most fantastic dotted manis and I really wanted to try them out. Of course I had to have the boyfriend help me out when it came to the colors. This is what we ended up with! Now the base color I chose is my own franken I made just for this manicure. I only seem to have light grays and I wanted a darker gray so that is what I made. I used a quite a few colors for my dots and they are: Sally Hansen - Wet Cement Sinful Colors - Cinderella Sinful Colors- Paradise Pure Ice - French Kiss CND - Midnight Sapphire Wet n Wild - Black Creme The dotting tools were super simple to use. The shipping from Everbella was super quick as well. I have heard a lot of people ordering their dotting tools from Ebay and they take like 1-2 months to even get them. The dotting tools retail for $3.89 on Everbella . Exclusive ...

I tried my other Claire's magnetic polish out last night and wanted to show you guys the results. First off I have to say that I really like both of the magnetic polishes I got from Claire's. I have already wore the blue/purple one and I loved it although I could not get an accurate color photo of it so I have not got around to posting that one. This polish was also hard to get a color accurate photo of but I finally managed..kinda. This polish tends to be a tad more greener in person. Let's talk about the polish itself for a moment. The polish went on pretty thin on the first coat but the second coat made it all better. Also, both of the magnetic polishes I got from Claire's have the most wonky brushes on them. At first I was like how am I going to polish my nails with these things? To my surprise again they actually made it easier to apply the polish so I can't complain about them anymore. The top cap does pop off of these polishes much like the Nails Inc....

Here is a polish that I showed to you yesterday in my "Offline" Haul. This is Sinful Colors Cinderella. This is a beautiful blue polish that has beautiful glass flecks throughout it. The glass flecks have the same color change as Essie Shine of The Times.  I have to say I love this polish but Sinful Colors formula still irks me. It never seems to dry as fast as I would like it to. I will however give this beauty a second chance. FYI: I found this polish in with all of the other Sinful Colors core polishes if you are looking for it!

So I have been MIA for quite some time but that does not mean that I have stopped collecting polish along the way. I have gotten quite a few awesome polishes over the past few weeks and wanted to show them to you. Zoya Veruschka, Loredana, Savita, and Sooki I got some of the Zoya Mattes which I am none to impressed with. They are super thin and dry slow! I am wondering if I got dud ones or something. Claire's Gold/Olive and Blue/Purple Magnetic Polishes, Sinful Colors Cinderella, Wet n Wild  On a Trip These polishes I picked up over the last several weeks. I was excited to get my hands on Cinderella although it is in the core display of my Walgreen's selection now. That meaning I have extra and will probably put them on the blog sale within the next coming days. I was also excited to see the new Wet n Wild Megalast polishes and this one stood out to me. China Glaze FYI, 100 Proof Pink, No Way José I got these awesome polishes off of ebay. I had been scouring some of th...

I'm Baaaack!!! So I finally got my computer issues resolved. I had so many photos on my old computer that I tried to back up but I don't think it's going to happen. Oh well, I guess that means more swatching for me! This polish I have to show you today is China Glaze Let's Do It In 3D. This polish exists no longer on store shelves but I was able to pick up a bottle from a girl in a Facebook polish group I am in. I was quite excited to have another holo to add to my collection but I must admit I was worried when I received it because it does not look very holo in the bottle at all. My worry was turn to glee when I put it on the nail. After it was dry it was very holo! I have also got some pretty cool polishes since I have been offline so I think a haul post is in order. I will have that for you guys tomorrow. Until then have a great weekend!

I am happy to announce the two winners of my first giveaway! I will be emailing them shortly. Ali Golightly Kmeyers101 Congratulations girls!  A side note: I am having computer problems hence the lack of posts. My screen went out on my computer which is just lovely as I have online classes. I hope to get this problem fixed by next week if possible. I have many backlogged posts with photos I can't crop or edit. It is frustrating to say the least. I hope to be back soon!

So the lovely Claire did it once again! She got me one of the most beautiful polishes that I would have never been able to get my hands on. I can not thank her enough for sending me lovelies from across the pond! This polish is the elusive Max Factor Fantasy Fire. Fantasy Fire is an indigo jelly polish with the most beautiful color shifting glitter. You will see all the colors this beautiful polish flashes in my photos below. I took a lot of pics because I wanted to try and capture all the color changes. These photos are much different than my norm but you have to hold your hand in weird positions to get the color change effect. I also layered this polish over Revlon Royal which is not a flash friendly polish. I hope you   ♥ this polish as much as I do! Isn't is lovely?! I encourage you to click on the photos to make them larger because the polish really is that awesome. Now the only downside of these polishes is the size. They are tiny! Fantasy Fire comes in at a whoppin...
