A Busy Few Days of Swatching!

While writing out full length posts for my blog has been a bit difficult for me lately, I have been keeping up with my nails. The last couple of days I've started working on swatching my polishes for my pinterest collection. I thought I would share them with you all here and remind you that if you like my swatches, you can find them regularly on my Instagram. Once I've completed the projects I owe for Christmas (crochet requests from my Etsy shop - details in the future) I will get back into my normal programming for blogging.

So without further adieu, some of my swatches this week.

Eat Sleep Polish - You Can't Sit With Us

Eat Sleep Polish - Great Sexpectations

Eat Sleep Polish - The Turtle and the Hare

Aly's Dream Polish - Hottest Pink

August is Indie Month Day 13!

Many apologies for the late post today. Just not feeling up to par, but Indie Month will wait for no lady who loves lacquer! So today I've got Ruby White Tips on the blog. This is a polish that I won the naming contest for!

Here I've got Look at the Flowers over several different bases.

Index finger - two coats over black

Middle finger - three coats alone

Ring finger - Two coats over Rainbow Honey Trifolium

Pinky Finger - Two coats over white

I love RWT polishes, I wish my collection was larger than just a few. They are such gorgeous colors and the collections are always based on things that I'm so fond of like Breaking Bad or in this case The Walking Dead. I love the little glam at the top of every bottle too.

RWT polishes are relatively sheer in my experience, usually needing at least three coats or a well suited undie to make them look their best. In this case I like it best over RH Trifolium, or any other green base I would imagine. It is a tealy green jelly ish polish with pink shimmers all throughout.

All of the RWT polishes I have are long lasting, several days or more without chips or peeling.

Check out her shop on Etsy there are some promotional offers going on right now which you can find on their Facebook page. :)

Enjoy!

*Unfortunately I was unable to recover any photos of this look during the December 2014 issue. New images will be uploaded in the future.

August is Indie Month Day 7!

Indie Month Day 7! Rainbow Honey's Trifolium, a gorgeous green with a hint of teal, speckled with tiny gold flakies. 

This is two coats with no top coat.

 All of the photos turned out a little more teal leaning than this color is in real life, it's more on the side of grass green. I wish I could capture the true color better but it certainly does look like this in darker lighting.

Great application, super easy to put on. The formula is like butter that just glides right on. I can't speak to the lasting power, once again, but other RH polishes I have used have lasted for 2-3 days before I changed my mani.
