enchanted polish - haul

i purchased these from llarowe.  this was my first purchase from her.  shipping and customer service is great, i had a few questions regarding how long shipping would be and i got responses quite fast :)  they also carry ozotics, some of which are being discontinued.  at least others are being made, but it still sucks that such beautiful polishes are going to be gone quite shortly.

anyhow, these colors are from enchanted polish.  lots and lots of holos.  i think i should be set for a while ;)  the colors are absolutely gorgeous.  i did a manicure on my mom tonight using cranberry cosmo and it turned out beautiful.  mom loved the color shift in the light in the house.  i told her just wait until she sees it out in the sun.

hey jude will probably be the first one i try, then gummy worm.  these two are so filled with color depending on the lighting you're in.

onto the pics...swatches will start once i re-do my current manicure:

cnd solar oil

well...i found out what my cuticle issue was the last 2 weeks.  i threw my solar oil in the wrong drawer and forgot about it.  after putting it on last night and letting it soak in my cuticles have already started looking better.  never will i misplace you again.

i buy my cnd items from http://www.bebeautiful.com.  i have used solar oil for months...like since december when i first started really taking care of my nails.  i can't believe no using it for 2 weeks would make them look this bad.  i also have cnd's almond hydrating lotion.  it's got to be the best hand lotion ever.  it absorbs really quickly, smells amazing and lasts.  i have a bottle at work and at home.

elixir lacquers

picked this up today from my parent's...elixir lacquer's site is at http://www.elixirlacquers.com.  i'm starting to get sucked into the whole indie polish thing now  >.<  gotta say the few orders i've gotten from independent sellers have been amazing.  the colors have been pretty unique.  the customer  service has been great and shipping has also been fast.

for whatever reason i couldn't get the bottom of these bottles to stay in focus...

manipulative colorblind

this was done with colorblind by dandy nails and manipulative by cult nails.  totally loved these 2 together.  this was with 2 coats of each polish.  i'm thinking 1 coat of colorblind will be plenty next time i wear it.  it was not fun trying to get off ;)


excuse the angry cuticles :(  they've been so dry the last few weeks no matter what i do with them.

happy meowface

...that's my boy.

i should have some new posts this week.  i got my order from dandy nails, picked it up from my parent's today. i finally gave in to etsy.  i'm attempting to be good and not even look on that site, because if i did i'd be broke about now.  i did give one of the dandy nails polishes to my sister to use as toenail polish.   it's the least i can do...the poor kid screwed up her back today and if some orange polish made her day after being at the hospital most of the morning, drugged up and on morphine i'm not going to tell her no.

i also have more stuff on the way from harlow & co. as well as some enchanted polishes from llarowe.  i also have an order on the way from elixir lacquers and some cult nails goodies since they just had their $5.00 sale.  it's been a busy month already >.<  i probably won't be buying anything new for a while and will start doing swatches, pictures, and posts here more often.

bright, bright bright.   the picture totally doesn't capture this one.
