Nailette you've got to go!!



Nailette It's Time to Break Up
It's not me it's you!

    Hello ladies,
 I've got two manis for you today both are from Essie and also from my Nailette subscription box.  As you read from the tittle I'm canceling my subscription to this box.  Nailette has mainly sent me Essie polishes and I have grown to dispise them.  The polishes are very streaky as you can tell from the pics which are two coats.      When you first subscribe to Nailette you fill out a profile ie answer questions.  One of those questions ask about your skin tone and  of course I selected dark. So why do you think they sent me barbie pastel nail colors? (second pic)  Twice?
I'm moving on to Julep witch is also a nail polish  box however they are original full size polishes and they also have beauty products.  More on Juelp once I get my first box.
Until next time ladies.


Essie: Resort Fling- coral and Hide and Go Chic-blue
I do like this color combo of the coral and blue just not the polish formulation.

Essie: Find Me An Oasis-pale blue and Romper Room-barbie pink
These colors on my skin tone are just wrong. It doesn't look to bad here but in natual light oh my!

Lets Talk Polish #1

Lets Talk: Indie Polish

Hello Ladies,

     I came across this article in Nail-It Mag online about Indie polishes. ( Indie Polish Spotlight: ) What are your thoughts?  Have you ever tried any independent brands of polish or made your own?  If you haven't why not and if you have what brands are your favorite?  I tended to stick to the trusted few when it comes to nail brands but lately I have decided to venture out of my bottle. 
    When it comes to nail polish and design their is so much out there from mix ins and glitters to paints that we're truly only limited by our imagination.  For those of you out there who don't want to invest in the multitude of said glitters and mix-ins yet still want a custom look, Indie polishes could be just what your looking for.
     I've had the pleasure of testing out a brand from Florida called Royal Laquer you can find them on Etsy.  I'll have the swatches below.  The polishes are quick drying, unique and beautiful exactly what I look for in a polish. :)
Red Velvet, This red leans towards the orange and is not a cream or a jelly its a "cremlly", yes I just made that up.  The hexagonal glitters through out create a cool layered effect.  Pictures show two coats.


Laser Blue, Pictures are just not doing this color any justice, its gorgeous.  This is a deep sea blue with tiny colored glitters that remind me of the night sky.  The flex of purple glitters really make it stand out.
     Those are just two of my favs, until next time!
