Sinful Colors Zeus

Sinful Colors is one of my favorite drugstore brands. Their formula is quite good, and they often come out with unique colors. Zeus is one of those original beauties. Sinful Colors recently released a collection called Cast Away. The whole collection has a Greek theme, and this polish is named after Zeus, the god of sky and thunder according to Greek mythology. I...

Julep Natasha

After winning a completely amazing Golden Box from Julep, I had trouble deciding which color to try first. The one that really called to me was Natasha, a super bright orange-red crème. And let me tell you, Natasha is a beauty! It took me 3 thin coats to achieve full coverage with Natasha. I am sure you could get away with 2 thicker...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I know everyone and their mother has a St. Patrick's Day manicure to show today, but here's mine! I'm wearing 2 coats of China Glaze Starboard, followed by 1 coat of Sinful Colors Green Ocean. The Sinful Colors is a mix of blue-green glitters and flakies, all in a pretty green tinted base. Lovely! On my ring finger, I freehanded a four leaf...

Wet N Wild Ice Baby: Cost Is No Issue

A while ago I bought most of the Ice Baby glitters by Wet N Wild. I had planned to swatch them all sequentially, but I got distracted. Now a few months later, take a look at Cost Is No Issue! Cost Is No Issue is a very pretty mix of turquoise microglitter and larger blue hex glitter. It is also very, very close...

Garbo Meets Glitter

So, it's Pink Wednesday. How about a muted rosy red instead? Zoya Garbo is a super shiny rosy red jelly. The color has that lovely squishy look that makes jellies so special. I also like the muted look Garbo has. Despite being a red, it isn't garish. Instead, it is very classy looking and with lots of squishy depth. On top of 3...

China Glaze Magnetix: Instant Attraction

Sorry for the delay in posts. I was finishing up midterms and getting all settled in back home for Spring Break. The weather here in Wisconsin is looking pretty good these next few days, though it is rainy today. I guess that rain is technically Spring weather too, though! Hopefully I can get some good pictures despite the clouds :) Anyway, here is...

I was pretty excited to try this out, but I am not entirely sure that I think it lives up to the hype. Drawn to You is a medium purple magnetic polish from their Magnetix collection. The color itself...

The Poor Lacquerista's Elytra

As you may know, Ozotic Pro makes some beautiful glitters in their Elytra line. I have long dreamed of having one of those glitters, but frankly it just is not in the college girl's budget. Luckily, I found a 99¢ Sally Girl glitter that reminds me a lot of the Elytra line! This glitter polish is called Way 2 Disco, and it has...

Pink, Neon, and Rhinestones - Oh My!

Today's look is a super bright, in-your-face, blingy manicure. I did this a couple days ago for a sorority event, because I wanted something fun on my nails to brighten up my black dress. This is definitely the kind of manicure that commands attention! I am wearing 2 coats of Mattése Elite Rei Momo, which I recently reviewed. After that was dry, I put...
