I have been nursing a broken-to-the-quick nail and each time it starts growing out, it breaks again. The nail gods have not been smiling on me. In the meantime, I’ve had a boatload of polishes arrive with no tips to put it on. One of the boxes that travelled to [...]
I had planned to post these swatches between Christmas and New Year, but… weelllll, life got in the way lol, and they have been left languishing ‘till now… thing is I would imagine that availability of these polishes is dwindling rapidly, so consider this a reminder of how fab these are, and a heads up [...]

The brushes on these new bottles are a bit shorter than the typical polish brush, but they are consistant. I was pleasantly surprised that they resisted going to the ever popular wide brush. Thank goodness.
I love that they named the sparkly red color “Woman” instead of some version of ruby slippers. [...]

Along with coming out with 70some new colors, NYX Girls changed their bottle shape to square! It means that I can pack more into each drawer! My helmer is not happy. Did I mention that a row of 8 of these bottles fit perfectly into a helmer drawer?)
I loved Bronze Goddess. [...]

OPI just recently released their Alice in Wonderland collection, I would imagine due to the upcoming release of Tim Burton’s new movie. Two of the four polishes in this collection were dense, full coverage glitters. And yowsa, they pack a wollap of a punch.
I’ve become fairly picky about my glitters. While I [...]

I buy string glitters, but I’m not quite sure why. This is really not my type of polish and yet, I always feel compelled to buy them. Truth be told, I’ve never done anything but swatch them. But you have to admit, they are festive!

Leave it to Color Club to not only come out with a bunch of new glitters, but to hide them in a single supply source. These limited edition and Japanese exclusive glitters can be found at Victoria Nail Supply for $3.25 a piece. When I saw them, I had to get them all. [...]

I was rather excited to see these bottles of glitter at the Icing Store and I didn’t waste that much time buying them. But my enthusiasm fell and rose several times while I was swatching them. These glitters are all over the place in terms of coverage and consistency.

For as much as I love Nars, I’m not quite sure that glitters are their strong suit. They’re beautiful, but definately not the polish to reach for if you’re looking for a quick mani. I also found that the glitter in all of these, fell to the bottom of the bottle so you [...]

A very good UK friend of mine will often indulge me by helping me acquire European Nail Polish that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to get my hands on – thank goodness! Because these babies are hot! Cetuem is an upscale UK brand with a pretty expansive lineup of over 240 colors. After sending me [...]
