nfu-oh 51

This one has been on my wish list for a while. I don't think I will ever pay for Clarins 230 so this is a nice alternative. It is gorgeous!


It is layered over Nubar Amethyst.

Saint George-A England

This polish was one of my lemmings, I got with my last order on NPC. It is an Emerald Green scattered holo. I love my holos! Unfortunately I have a bad habit of buying polishes that look best in the sun. It has been overcast for so many days :(

I also have another picture I took 2 days later when the sun was more vibrant.

The formula was amazing. It was a one coater. I never had a polish be this vibrant and complete in one coat. It also feels rock hard, like it would take extreme abuse to chip.

kb Shimmer-Stark Raven Mad

When I saw the early summer collection from Kb Shimmer making its way around I knew I needed to have it. I have a deep affection for anything holographic, whether linear or scattered. I already had Zoya Storm, a beautiful black  scattered holo which I will probably post at some point, but I really wanted a linear similar to the original OPI My Private Jet.


Since I started to get a lot of polish, I have been taking cell phone pictures to kind of document my polishes with pictures of my actual hand for my nail polish app. The bottle picture was taken on an overcast day. I really need to invest in a light box for pictures. Anyway, the wear on this was fabulous, so a few days later when the sun graced us, I shot a quick snap in the sun!

Dorothy Who? by China Glaze

I got my package in from Nail Polish Canada yesterday. I kind of threw in Dorothy Who? I have been reading some nail blogs beginning to end and read about The Wizard of Ooh Ahz collection. It was so cool that a brand would bring back a whole collection due to popular demand. I knew I wanted at least one and I noticed that it was still available on NPC. I am so glad I got it,


You probably hear all the time that photos really do not do it justice, cliché but true. In the light it looks like crushed sparkly gems. I also want to pick up Ruby Pumps!

OPI Today I Accomplished Zero

I was stalking the chatters below my work this past week for the Coca-Cola collection. After seeing all the swatches, I knew I wanted this beauty

It has a black cream jelly base with red glitter! I tried this over OPI glitter off. It lasted about a day, as the polish started to pop off the next day after I showered. Sure beat trying to get the glitter removed.

My first post

I am new to the blogging thing and I really like nail polish! I think I want to try to swatch all the polishes I have. This will give me an outlet so I can hopefully stop annoying co-workers!  I will include a picture of my first attempt at Nail Art!

Here is Sally Hansen Red Carpet with Sally Hansen White Nail Art pen.  It was for the Halifax Mooseheads 2013 Memorial Cup run! Which they won! 

Here I am in my Mooseheads shirt with the Memorial Cup! Unfortunately this year, we lost in the semis to Val D'Or.  It was a good series. This year the Edmonton Oil Kings won the Memorial Cup. 

Hope you enjoy my little spot of the Internet :)
