Last Weeks Nail Haul!

My nail mail in a nutshell is below! Followed by a secret little treat!

Colors by Llarowe: CbL Addicts Attack (Custom), CbL Addicts Blue Me Away (Custom), Bronco Blue (LE)

Lynnderella Thanks Blue Too!, Crocus Pocus, Garnet Grace

 This last batch I picked up while Dusty Hunting in salons around me. If you don't know what Dusty Hunting is, it's basically when you go around to salons with the intent to find old HTF polishes. I found these with a grand total of $14! I also went back the next day and got three more that aren't shown (FYI, L8R G8R, and BFF for $14 as well). Epic score!

China Glaze 2NITE, IDK, DV8
Here is more information on Dusty Hunting: LINK!

Good Golly Garnet Grace: Say that 10 times fast.

Just wanted to stop in and first off say, next week and this week have been crazy busy with work. We got/getting two new people and training three total. But it all works out in the end! More money for this unheal- I mean beautiful habit. ;) 

I got Garnet Grace in a recent haul from Lynnderella and knew right away that it would go beautifully with Colors by Llarowe Good Golly Miss Molly LE due to their similar deep burgundy berry shades.

Little did I know this would seriously be one of the hardest manicures I've ever worn to capture. These two photos were the best I could get to show the beauty of both polishes; I don't even begin to actually capture Garnet Grace though. So boo. Regardless, I thought I should share this with you lovely people.



Colors by Llarowe is available on her personal stocklist. Lynnderella can be found via her ebay store. Thanks so much! Xoxo!

A Perfect Purple Manicure: Aly's Dream Polish Blue Violet & Intense Blurple with Lynnderella Crocus Pocus

On Aly's Dream Polish and Lynnderella bender but who can blame me. Today I bring you Aly's Blue Violet and Intense Blurple mixed with Lynnderella Crocus Pocus!

Both of these Aly's are my favorites I currently own by her. I have absolutely nothing in my collection like them, especially that blurple! Each of these polishes are two coats with no top coat:
Aly's Dream Polish Blue Violet (M/R) & Intense Blurple (Po/Pi)

Crocus Pocus is mix of all shaped and sized purple toned glitters. Assuming it is based of the crocus flower, it is spot on for coloring! I applied two coats solely because I desired the combination and layering of the shapes and colors.

Thank Blue for Sky Blue: Aly's Dream Polish Sky Blue meets Lynnderella Thanks Blue, too!

Hey friendly followers! Today I got my package from Lynnderella in and instantly swooned for Thanks Blue, too! One glance at it I knew exactly what to pair it up with - Aly's Dream Polish Sky Blue. 
Aly's Dream Polish Sky Blue & Lynnderella Thanks Blue, too!

Side by side these polishes were clearly made for each other! I couldn't wait to put it on; I immediately removed and scrubbed the wonderful manicure from last night. 

Aly's Dream Polish Sky Blue was an easy two coater. It clearly displays the wonderful summer sky blue that we are all longing for this long white winter. Below is shown without top coat:

I applied two coats (preference) of Lynnderella Thanks Blue, too! atop Sky Blue and my heart warmed. I took nearly a hundred photos of this manicure all for my personal viewing pleasure. But here are two gorgeous (tooting my own horn) finished manicure shots:

 This is by far one of the loveliest pieces of art to grace my nails. I am so lucky to own both of these polishes! If you'd like to as well, you can find Lynnderella at their eBay shop while Aly's Dream Polish can be purchased via her Storenvy. Thanks so much for looking! Xoxo-Jas





Dexter-ous Manicure: Flashback to Enchanted oldie "Dexter"

Hey guys! Long time, no blog? I've been working on my technique for the past few weeks as well as improving my nails (which are long from finished). I have finally come to a point of confidence to post again. So then, here we go! 

I recently became extremely addicted to the Showtime original "Dexter." Like finish all eight seasons in a month kind of addiction. I immediately sought after Enchanted's older glitter polish - Dexter. It came surprisingly easy and kind of just fell into my pleading hands. *Thank you EP fairy godmother!!*

Today I chose it as the centerpiece for my first manicure back! Feel special Dexter. ;) I paired it with Zoya Raven, Enchanted Stay Classy San Diego, and Enchanted Djinn in a Bottle.

Dexter could be described as the job of the character in the show. Blood Splatter. It mixes red and black multi-shape glitters (circles and hexes) in a shimmer base. I was extremely surprised with shimmer due to my complete unawareness of this polish!

 I chose to top Zoya Raven with Enchanted Djinn in a Bottle to create the ULTIMATE black holo! I am impressed! Not with myself but with the combination! It's killing it!

It's 3:04 AM EST, so I am calling this a job well done and a manicure well loved.
Enchanted Polish Dexter is the only polish I've used that I will officially say it no longer available.

I will be back tomorrow! Xoxo -Jas
