Woke up craving a smoothie. I ♥ trader joe's. Fresh pineapple, banana, strawberry, raspberry and almond milk.

jade - mystic gold

just got this in my last purchase from llarowe.  love love love the color in this one.  i couldn't capture it properly :(  didn't have time to do a cleanup yet either, but i guess i'm getting better at not being as messy initially ;)

cult nails - swanbourne and hypnotize me

all cult nails products used: get it on basecoat, 2 layers of swanbourne and 1 thick layer of hypnotize me sponged on and faded down.  this may be my favorite manicure that i've done in ages.

ozotic - 513 with cult nails - nevermore

this was layered over cult nails nevermore.  it's a black polish, but the perfect black.  it's a 1 coater, no thin spots and it dries so shiny.  it seems to be the perfect base for these ozotics.  i could layer up the ozotics to get them more solid on their own...but with these being discontinued soon i'll just stick to layering them over black so i don't feel like i'm wasting them :P


i love this color.  at work yesterday i really couldn't see the color shift while indoors, but once the sun came around to my side of the building it looked pretty much like these pictures below.

this was purchased from llarowe.  i'm guessing the picture on the site was just of the polish by itself with no base color.  i like both, but i think these colors really pop over black.

enchanted polish - austin powers

this was purchased from llarowe.   it's been on since tuesday with no chipping.  i used get it on by cult nails as my base coat and wicked fast by cult nails for my topcoat.

Naked nails

Omg....they exist!

Finally starting to get some length again after cutting them totally down.   Once they get to this point they start growing like crazy.

floam and humble bee

these are both made by Nail-Venturous.  i purchased these from ninja polish.  i was actually surprised to end up getting them.  the day that i got the email notification that floam had been restocked they also upgraded the shopping cart.  the website kept crashing.  i ended up getting to the checkout flow on the site where it gave me an order number but then i couldn't get to the page to complete the order and pay.  by the time the site came back up they removed the product from the site and said that they weren't going to readd it until they got the shopping cart fixed.  i just emailed the site owner and asked if i could still go ahead and pay for it and she said yes.   shipping was really fast so that made me happy.

i have floam on currently.  it's bright bright yellow-green and blue matte glitter, which i had never even heard of before.  i have seche vite over it and even with the shine from that you can still  tell that the glitter in the polish is matte, it really is unique looking.

it's named after the toy floam.  it really does look like the stuff i remember playing with when i was younger lol

pictures of this will get taken tonight when i get another minute to sit down and snap some.

humble bee is super bright yellow and black and is the same type of matte glitter.

everything nail-venturous sells out extremely fast when it is up for sale.  i want to get 2 more of their colors if they ever go back on sale again, orange you unique? and pinkerbell.
