Plum-Sickle Makes & Beetle Wings make their debut<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Happy Friday everyone! Thank goodness for the weekend! I have been so busy that I can't hardly think straight! It's been raining like crazy here in Virginia & i'm so glad that the weather is finally breaking! <br>
<br>
Most of you know that back in the day I used to make my own polishes. Some people call it frankens & others called them custom polishes. I used to make entire lines for myself & send samples to my nail buddies. Unfortunately, I stopped making polishes when I had a horrible bout with depression but i'm happy to announce that I have renewed my love for making polishes & i'm bringing back "Franken Fridays"!! First up is Plum-Sickle<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Plum-Sickle is a bright plum based polish packed with flakes, red shimmer & a smidgen of spectra flair! It is super saturated & can be worn on it's own. Pictured above is 2 coats topped with NYC in a minute top coat. It applied like a dream & I was so impressed with myself lol. It had all the elements that I love in a polish. Can you believe this polish was made with eyeshadow? I have a tutorial coming soon with step by step directions.<br>
<br>
Next up is "Beetle Wings". <br>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Beetle Wings is a super saturated Multi-Chrome Polish that shifts from Blue to Pink to Purple to Red. I added some spectra flair for that extra kick & I'm in love! This is 2 coats on it's own (No base coat needed) with 1 coat of NYC in a minute top coat. This is by far my favorite polish ever! I remember making it because I was having a hard time purchasing Enchanted Polish & decided to make my own. I made this using some pigments I purchased offline. I will be doing a step by step tutorial on making this at a later date. </div>
<br>
<i>FYI: Unfortunately I don't sell my polishes because I don't have the time & I would have a nervous breakdown if anyone was every disappointed in something that I sold to them. I don't consider myself a professional or a mixologist of colors. There have been many times I've purchased a polish from an Indie Brand & was completely let down because the quality of the polish was AWFUL. Whether it was goopy or not mixed correctly to glitters falling or bleeding & pigments dropping to the bottom of the bottle. You name it, I've purchased it & I don't want to put that pressure on myself. So instead, I send gifts to friends or giveaways. You can't complain when it's free right? lol Anyway, enough talking & off to the polishes!</i><br>

Welcome to "Thrifty Thursday" everyone! Who says that you have to pay a gazillion dollars for gorgeous polish? Last week I was walking thru Rite Aide & passed the polish clearance bin. I picked up Revlon "Ritzy" 780 for a WHOPPING 45 cents! Yes you heard it! 45 cents!!<br />
<br />
Ritzy is a black polish packed with gold micro-glitters & larger hexagonal silver glitters. Pictured below is 3 coats on its on with 1 coat of NYC in a minute top coat. There was no problem with application. It applied easily with no clumping or gooping & dried smooth to the touch. I think it's gorgeous & perfect for this Fall. <br />

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. My mother is a breast cancer survivor so this cause is near & dear to my heart. Today I chose to pull out Lynderella Angel Food from my un-trieds & broke out my stamping plates using the breast cancer ribbon. This was so simple & my mani was finished in 10 minutes. I hope with all the awareness that you guys have your yearly mammograms & take the time to self check. Early detection is key! Thanks for reading!<br />

Welcome to Indie Tuesday everyone! For the first time, I've decided to participate in a nail art challenge called Busy Girl Nails. I must warn you, my nail art skills are subpar to say the least but I wanted to give it a go because it's not overwhelming & fits in perfectly with my schedule. Day 1 is Antique Gold. I decided to use Enchanted Forest from one of my favorite Indie brands Nailnation 3000 . My Indie rack is filled with her polishes because she just "gets it right". There are a lot of indie polish makers out there but there are only a few who make QUALITY products with phenomenal customer service.<br />
<br />
Enchanted Forest #13 is a deep green chrome with hints of gold, holo & flecks of pink & cooper micro glitters. It is FALL in a bottle. It reminds me of crunched leaves that have fallen to the ground in the fall. It is so unique & stunning. I don't have anything like it in my collection. Application was a breeze & it dried smooth to the touch. My accent finger is Kiko duo chrome 395 that shifts from gold to green & I did a saran wrap marble to finish it off. <br />

Happy Sunday everyone! Life has been so hectic lately that I haven't been able to really post anything. But after receiving another long time lemming of mine, there was no way that I was NOT going to post this baby. <br />
<br />
Versace's Heat Nail Lacquer V2077-W is a multi-chrome polish in a blackened base that shifts from red to green to gold to purple at extreme angles. This polish is LONG discontinued & I have been scouring the earth for it for YEARS! I've searched eBay, foreign auctions, blog sales, yard sales, Craig's List, Flea Markets, Estate Sales & Salon Sales. I've even gone on "dusty shopping trips" & asked every single person I know to look out for this elusive polish. And just when I thought I would never own this beauty & had given up ALL hope, a very good nail buddy of mine "gifted" this beauty to me without asking for anything in return! I am so humbled & honored by her generosity & so thankful for such a sweet friend. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyTKdEI5REcGTB8t5nGget0Ei1Fy2cgqAi8vJTayV59mu17l7NVKmUyvV4CA1ND4ZeWbmROYA8dFlip0KrI15jyxpwNMcU-GNu7TUm9jXZ8dI2bjZuNNm87iAIL7CDg0MRmhSI-wf34FXy/s1600/blogbottle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyTKdEI5REcGTB8t5nGget0Ei1Fy2cgqAi8vJTayV59mu17l7NVKmUyvV4CA1ND4ZeWbmROYA8dFlip0KrI15jyxpwNMcU-GNu7TUm9jXZ8dI2bjZuNNm87iAIL7CDg0MRmhSI-wf34FXy/s400/blogbottle.jpg" width="296" /></a></div>
Versace V2077-W is said to be a dupe for Clarins 230 lovingly referred to as "unicorn pee". It is also long discontinued but is easily obtainable on eBay if you're willing to pay the hefty price tag for it. I happen to own this one as well & although they both have the same shifting qualities, they are not dupes. Clarins 230 has a Purple/Maroon base & Versace v2077 has a rich blackened base. I must admit, I prefer Versace. It applied like butter, looked better with my skin tone, dried super glossy & doesn't have the horrible smell that Clarins 230 has. <i>(I will be doing comparisons of all my Clarins 230 dupes at a later date).</i><br />
<br />
Taking photos of Versace on it's on was so frustrating! The shimmer would not translate in the photos! UGHHHHH!! Because I wasn't able to properly capture the shifting qualities of Versace V2077 on its own, I decided to layer it over one of my own frankens called <i>"Lucky Charms"</i>. Lucky Charms is an extremely saturated multi-chrome polish that has the same shifting qualities as "Unicorn Pee". It shifts from red to green to gold & can be worn on its own. My accent finger shows Lucky Charms on its own on half the nail. The other half is one layer of Versace V2077 painted over it. The color shift picked up on camera MUCH better this way. I'm totally in love with this polish! Words can't even describe but hopefully my pictures will.<br />

Welcome to "Vintage Monday". Today I bring to you another very special polish by way CHANEL. Chanel Le Vernis Palpitant 41 is long discontinued & extremely hard to find. In fact, it's so old that I can't find any information on what year it was made. The internet has VERY limited information & photos on this polish. All I will say is that it's gorgeous.<br />
<br />
Palpitant is a Multi-Chrome Polish! It shifts from a Plum-ish/Purple, to Cranberry-ish Red, to Gold-Yellow & Green. As you know, duo chromes/multi-chromes are my FAVORITE! Palpitant can be worn on it's own but because it's such an elusive & expensive polish that I chose to layer it over China Glaze Stella to make it stretch. <br />

Isn't it gorgeous? I decided since it's fall, to stamp it with Leaves from BM04. Chanel really outdid themselves with this one. I can't believe it's a vintage. Pictured above is indirect sunlight showing the Plum-ish/Purple to Gold/Yellow Shift.</div>

Like I said before, Palpitant 41 is long discontinued & extremely hard to find. I purchased mine off of eBay after I searched for months to find it. I won't say how much I paid for it but it wasn't cheap so if you find one for a reasonable price, snatch that baby up! It's a beautiful edition to any collection.</div>

Welcome to "High End Sunday" guys. Today I bring you one of my FAVORITE colors of the summer. Yes, I know summer just ended but today was such a beautiful & bright day that I decided to rock Lilis on the fingers & toes. <br />
<br />
Lilis is from the summer's L’Été Papillon de Chanel collection of 2013. It's a gorgeous "peachy/Coral/reddish" creme. It's "squishy" appearance almost makes you think it's a jelly but it's not sheer. You get complete coverage in 2 coats & applied flawlessly. Lilis skyrocketed to the top of my favorite polish list. It's the perfect summer color & I think it looks amazing on my skin tone. <br />

Pictured above is in direct sunlight. I tried to do a little nail art but it didn't come out exactly like I wanted. I did a little bundle monster stamping & was inspired by someone on Instagram. Unfortunately, I can't remember who it was. I will continue to step out my comfort zone & practice nail art! Until next time....</div>

Happy Saturday everyone! The last couple of days have been super busy for me & I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to get a post up but I was determined to make it happen. Welcome to Swatch Fest Saturday. Swatch Fest Saturdays just means I'll be swatching random polishes with no theme. I couldn't think of anything creative to call it (I'm so lame) lol. Anyway, today I have for you an oldie but goodie. Zoya Indigo. <br />
<br />
Zoya Indigo is from the Downtown Collection for fall 2007. It's a blackened blue shimmer polish with tiny holographic glitters scattered throughout. It's such a gorgeous color. Below is 2 coats with no top coat. I took it in 3 different types of lighting. Application was like butter & I purchased it at Zoya's last BOGO sale. I'm so glad that I did<br />

Happy Thursday everyone! Today I'm keeping up with my daily themes giving you "Thrifty Thursday". You don't always have to buy expensive polish to have beautiful nails! I personally love a good sale & lately I've been finding some gorgeous cheapies with amazing formulas. Wet N Wild Fergie Miami Spirit A007 is one of those polishes! I must warn you, my photos are not color accurate. Unfortunately I don't have the photography skill level to edit the coloring but I hope you can see that it's still a beautiful polish. <br>
<br>
Miami Spirit is a "neon-esque" super rich & saturated "Teal/Green" Shimmer polish that is packed with personality. I wore this to work today & I people were stopping me all day telling me my nails were gorgeous & asking what color polish I had on. I purchased Miami Spirit at my local drug store for a whopping $2.99!! It's very budge friendly. When I tell you this baby applies like butter I mean it! It's almost a 1 coater. Drying time is fantastic & there is no streaking. I love the fat brush & it is one of my all time favorite polishes. I wore this quite a bit this past summer & my bottle is almost a 3rd of the way finished (considering I have over 1000 polishes, this says a lot about how much I love it). If you love teal polishes, please go check it out. I promise you that you won't be disappointed.<br>

Welcome to Nail Art Wednesday's everyone! The reason I included nail art in one of my weekly mani's is because I wanted to challenge myself. I admit to not being the best nail artist. Actually, I suck really bad but if you've been following my blog, you know that i'm determined to push myself to practice so that I can continue to get better & grow. So Wednesdays will be a hoot! Good or bad, i'm posting the outcome! <br />
<br />
Last week I saw so many amazing Galaxy Nails due to the Nail Art Challenge that's going around. I was always too afraid to try it because it looks so challenging. But I was inspired by so many nail artists that I decided to take the plunge & try it. I used a youtube video tutorial to complete my mani. I will post it after the pictures. Here is what I came up with. My nails didn't turn out perfect but I'm still stoked at how they turned out. *Pats self on back*. Have you tried Galaxy Nails? I would love to see yours! <br />

Anyone who knows me, knows that my absolute favorite type of nail polishes are Multi-Chromes! A few weeks back I pre-ordered the <a href="http://www.ilnp.com/" target="_blank">I Love Nail Polish Ultra Chrome Set</a>! I completely fell in love with the swatches I saw online & when they arrived, I was not disappointed. The presentation alone made me giddy! They came in the cutest boxes with matching tissue paper! It was hands down the best Indie Polish presentation I've ever seen! I won't be showing you the entire collection today because these babies are so gorgeous that they deserve their very own posts! Today I'm showing you Mutagen.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mutagen</b> is described as a wonderful mirror-like chrome nail polish that seamlessly cascades through green, blue, red and orange; all depending on the angle of your fingertips. It is part of the ILNP's "Ultra Chrome" class of chromatic nail polishes; formulated to apply directly to the nail without the need for a base color.

Although Mutagen is described to shift from green, blue, red & orange, I wasn't able to get all of those colors. The color shift that I saw on my nails ranged from bright green, olive green, bronze, yellow, blue & purple. Its definitely a show stopper. I've actually seen underwater swatches where the reds & oranges were captured but unfortunately I was not able to see that translate naturally on my nails. With that being said, Mutagen did not disappoint! It's gorgeous! </div>

Application was a breeze. I applied 3 coats of Mutagen with no undies to get full opacity. I probably could have gotten away with 2 but I don't like visible nail lines. Mutagen costs $12.50 & can be purchased <a href="http://www.ilnp.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

Welcome to "Vintage Monday" everyone. Today I'm taking you all the way back! I bring to you none other than <a href="http://cryslovespolish.blogspot.com/p/image-plate-stash_17.html" target="_blank">Sally Hansen Nail Prisms</a>! Sally Hansen Nail Prisms were released in the early 1980's. They were the first of their kind. They are described as a "Rainbow in every Bottle" which describes them perfectly. They are the <b>"Queen & Grandmother"</b> of every multi chrome & holographic polish of today. Sally Hansen was decades ahead of their time with this line. They are an <b>"antique"</b> & exquisite in every way. <br>
<br>
I fell in love with <a href="http://cryslovespolish.blogspot.com/p/image-plate-stash_17.html" target="_blank">Sally Hansen Nail Prisms </a>a few years back & since then I've been obsessively collecting them. They have been discontinued for years & are extremely hard to find. It is my goal to own every single one of them & thanks to my amazing nail polish friends I've almost reached my goal. <u><a href="http://cryslovespolish.blogspot.com/p/image-plate-stash_17.html" target="_blank">Click here for more information</a></u><i>.</i> My Prisms are the pride & joy of my polish collection! The first polish I'm going to share with you from this line is none other than <b>Garnet Lapis</b> 4674-<b>07.</b>

<blockquote>
<b>Garnet Lapis</b></blockquote>
Garnet Lapis is also the same polish as<b><i> Rainbow Presents </i></b>(Canadian Release). I'm fortunate to own them both & can verify they are one in the same polish. It is a multi chrome which shifts from blue to purple to pink to gold & many other colors in between. An oil slick if you will. Everyone who knows me, knows my favorite type of polishes are Duo/Multi-chromes & because of this, Garnet Lapis is easily one of my favorite polishes of all time! When I wear this polish, women actually stop me & ask me what polish i'm wearing or "is that one polish you have on? Men have even said to me "that's a some cool polish you have on there".<br>
<br>
Garnet Lapis is pretty sheer so I put 1 layer over black. As with most multi chrome polishes, layering over a dark base makes the polish really rich & the color shift pop. Unfortunately, my lack of photography skills hindered my ability to capture the true beauty of this polish but I hope you can still get the idea. Ok, enough of my yapping! On to the pictures.<br>
<b>Warning:</b> Extremely pic heavy!<br>

Happy Sunday everyone I'm not sure if i'm alone, but I tend to have a hard time deciding which polishes to put on my blog. I have so many polishes to choose from that I neglect so many great brands. I call it "Polish Overload"! Because of these reasons, I've decided to have a theme for each day of the week. I'm hoping this will help me post a variety of great polishes that would otherwise sit in my drawers & get dusty. The themes are as follows:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>High End Sundays </li>
<li>Vintage Mondays</li>
<li>Indie Tuesdays</li>
<li>Nail Art Wednesdays</li>
<li>Thrifty Thursdays</li>
<li>Franken Fridays</li>
<li>Swatch Fest Saturdays</li>
</ul>
<div>
I'm looking forward to finally having some type of order. Let's see how long I can keep up with it lol. Today is "High End Sunday" & I'm thrilled to introduce you to...</div>
<div>
<blockquote>
Dior Apparat 871</blockquote>
</div>
Apparat is from the 2011 Christmas Collection "Les Rouges Or". In the bottle, the polish translates as a rich burgundy packed with gold shimmer. But sadly on the nails, the gold shimmer less pronounced. On the nails it is a glowy vampy cranberry with gold, green & dark red micro shimmer. Apparat is a one coater, super saturated drama queen & I mean this in a great way! Normally I'm not into reds but this is an exception & I'm so happy I purchased it. <br />

Happy Friday everyone! Today was such an awesome day! I found another polish that I've been longing & I can't wait for it to arrive! More on that later. In the meantime, I'm showing you one of my favorite polishes. It's the stunning Nfu Oh 51. <br />
<br />
Nfu Oh 51 is purple jelly based polish with color shifting flakies. The flakies shift from red to green to gold. This polish appears to literally glow! The multi chrome shift is very strong & easily seen & is a show stopper in the sun. Because it's sheer, I chose to layer it over black. <br />

CHANEL Le Vernis Holographic!!!!!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I've recently become obsessed with Chanel polishes! I've become absolutely insane over VINTAGE & Rare Chanel polishes. The one at the top of my list was the elusive & super duper expensive CHANEL Holographic. It was produced as a Limited Edition in 2007 & has been long sold out. I have been on the hunt for this beauty for over 8 months! And then it happened, I was browsing eBay & BAM there it was. A shiny brand new boxed set along with the fixing base. I ran in the room to tell my sweetheart & told him what that I finally found it !! This wonderful man immediately went to eBay & pressed BUY IT NOW!!! He didn't ask how much! He didn't complain nor tell me that I had lost my mind. My sweetheart simply looked at me & said "If something as small as a bottle of polish makes my lady happy, then it's yours". Then he said, you could be asking for diamonds!" Hahahahaha! I won't say how much we paid but I will say I feel it was worth every single penny! Enough talking...here it is!!!<br />

Hello everyone. On the nails today is Siren's Song from indie polish maker Smitten Polish. It is from the Shipwrecked Collection & is described as "a glass fleck with blue & dark pink tones, plus a subtle to red duo chrome shift". It's stunning in the bottle & stunning on the nail! Although the polish says "subtle" color shift, there was a strong color shift of dark pink to blurple on my nails. <br />
<br />
I had no problems with the formula; however, it is a tad thick which I don't mind. Pictured below is 2 coats with 1 coat of Seche Vite. I purchased Siren's Song from <a href="http://www.llarowe.com/" target="_blank">Llarowe</a> for 3 bucks when she was having flash sales a while back! This has quickly moved to one of my favorite polishes!<br />

Fall is approaching & even though it's still hot outside, I can't wait for Fall to arrive. So today I decided put on what I consider a Fall polish & it is Gorge!!
<br />
<blockquote>
Chanel Vendetta 483</blockquote>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Vendetta is part of the Spring 2009 Bohemian Fantasy Collection. In the bottle it appears to be a rich eggplant/purple shade with tons of red shimmer & micro-glitters. Isn't it gorgeous in the bottle?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
But, as with most Chanel polishes, the shimmer isn't as vibrant on the nails unless you're under direct sunlight. In regular lighting, Vendetta is a blackened eggplant with navy undertones. But under the sun this baby sparkles! It transforms to a rich goth like purple & the hidden red micro shimmer comes to life & shines bright! It is so gorgeous! </div>

Application was a breeze. This was almost a 1 coater but I decided to do 2 coats due to I wanted it super rich. It was glossy on it's own so I didn't use any top coat. Vendetta can be purchased at any Chanel retail counter as well as directly from Chanel.com. It is part of Chanel's core line so it can be easily purchased. It costs $27 & is definitely worth every penny.</div>

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Mine was super busy & it always seems to go by too fast! Anyway, as most of you know, i'm trying to get better at doing nail art. A few weeks back I purchased some water decals from the<a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank"> Born Pretty Store</a>. I decided to use them in this design. I must say I actually enjoy using water decals. They are super easy to use. <br />

Isn't it pretty? I feel in LOVE with this! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
** I started with a 1 coats of Wet n Wild White polish as my base & let it completely dry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
** Next I sponged on Rescue Beauty Lounge Aqua Lily & Zoya Zuza at the tips of my nails. <i> Note: You can barely see the sponging affect at the tips because the water decals cover it but trust me its there. </i></div>
** I added 1 coat of my quick dry top coat & let my nails dry completely. <br />
** Next I followed the directions on the water decal label & added the decals to the tips of my nails..<br />
**Lastly, I sponged Aqua Lilly further down the base of my nail, cleaned up my cuticle, & sealed it with a top coat.<br />
<br />
VOILA!!!! All Done!!<br />

I am so happy with this look! You can purchase the water decals from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/1sheet-fancy-colorful-feather-eyes-french-edge-nail-water-decals-sticker-transfer-stickers-b105b10-p-6733.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I must admit, shipping took forever on the decals but considering they were so cheap it was worth the wait. So what do you think? Will you be trying water decals?</div>

Happy Saturday everyone! Things have been so hectic since school has started back & it's finally starting to slow down. Today I have for you a really fun mani. It could be considered a bit tacky, but I actually think they are super easy & fun. Recently I was surfing youtube & came across "Gucci" nails. I thought they were so fun & different. For the life of me I can't find the video that I referenced but i'm in no way taking credit for being the originator of these nails. If I come across the video again, I'll be sure to post it here. <br />
<br />
Edit: I found the video. Link posted below.<br />
<br />
To achieve this look, I used "Gucci" tip water decals & rhinestone jewels. This mani took me all of 10 minutes to complete. I purchased the decals & rhinestones from <a href="http://www.bornpretty.com/" target="_blank">The Born Pretty Store</a>. I purchased extras so if anyone is interested, feel free to email me. Anywho, enough of me yapping! Enjoy!<br />

Happy Saturday everyone. I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday. My day has been filled with shopping for back to school. Needless to say i'm exhausted but I couldn't wait to get home to share with you one of the beautiful polishes my sweetheart purchased me last week. <br />

Bel-Argus is one of the Limited Edition shades in the summer 2013 L'Ete Papillion de Chanel Collection. It is described as a metallic blue. It is a foil metallic duo chrome that morphs between cobalt & navy blue with the edges morphing between an almost blackened blue/purple-ish color. In the sun, Bel-Argus is so vibrant & bright! My iPhone wasn't able to capture this beauty properly. But trust me when I tell you it's a stunner. I was looking down at my nails all day! <br />
<br />
Bel-Argus applied easily with minimal brush strokes. I used 2 coats & no top coat. I attempted to do stained glass on my accent finger. Photos were taken in direct sunlight with my iPhone. <br />

Happy Wednesday guys! If you follow me on Instagram then you know that my sweetheart surprised me with a ton of polishes yesterday! He's the most amazing man in the world! It was very hard for me to decide which polish to wear but I grabbed an oldie but goodie from Chanel.
<br />
<blockquote>
Paradoxal 509</blockquote>
Paradoxal is from the Fall 2010 collection & I must say it should be a staple in everyone's collection. It is a greyed out plum/mauve color loaded with a purple shimmer. During different lighting & angles paradoxal becomes a chameleon from taupe, to gray to dark purple to light purple! It's so difficult to describe! I must admit the shimmer displays much more in the bottle than it does on the nails but in the sun, the shimmer really shines thru. <br />
<br />
Pictured below are 2 coats of Paradoxal & 1 coat of Seche Vite top coat. I did a saran wrap marble on my accent finger. I love the combination! The formula was flawless. <br />

Paradoxal his sky rocketed to one of my all time favorite polishes. I received loads of compliments on my nails at work today! Everyone was asking "what polish are you wearing"? Every girl loves to hear that right? <br />
<br />
Paradoxal retails for $27 & can be purchased at Nordstroms, Saks Fifth Avenue, Chanel.com or any Chanel counter. The price tag is pretty steep for a polish but there are some dupes out there. I own Revlon Perplex & it is a dead ringer & almost $20 cheaper. Unfortunately, I'm unsure if Perplex has been discontinued or not but I definitely think it's worth the splurge. Do you already own Paradoxal? If so, what are your thoughts? I would love to hear from you.<br />

Happy Tuesday everyone. I received some EPIC nail mail from my sweetheart yesterday & decide wanted to wear ALL of them right away. But unfortunately, I didn't have enough fingers. Today I have for you an indie polish by Different Dimensions called Today Was a Fairytale & Dior Purple Mix. <br />
<br />
Today Was A Fairytale is a gorgeous white jelly polish mixed with large pink & holographic circle glitters, multiple sized holographic glitters with the most beautiful pink/purple/holographic shimmer. My iPhone could not do this polish justice. I layered 2 coats over a basic white although it could very easily be worn on its own. The formula was very good & the glitters did not have to be fished. <br />
<br />
I also did a gradient using Dior's Purple Mix. This was my very 1st Dior polish & let me tell you this sucka is SUPER pigmented! The color actually dried much darker on the nail than in the bottle but I still thinks its very beautiful. The formula was flawless! I loved this mani! <br />

Happy Sunday everyone! I wanted to share the nails that I rocked this weekend. I pulled out some of my "untried" polishes & decided they needed some love. The polishes I decided on were CrowsToes Love Stinks & Femme Fatale Cosmetics Hyacinth.<br />
<blockquote>
Love Stinks:</blockquote>
Love Stinks is from CrowsToes ValenCrows Collection that was released back in February. It is described as a strong woman's pink that shifts from blue to a red based pink. When I first saw the swatches of this polish I knew I had to have it. It had all the things I loved in a polish all rolled up in one. When I placed it on my nails I literally gasped at it's awesomeness. The blue glass flecks shift into the pink which makes it look purple as well!! How cool is that? This polish is luminous & shimmery to the 100th power & i'm totally in love! Love Stinks can be worn on its own but I chose to layer 2 coats over 1 coat of Sally Hansen's Magenta Moves. Application was an absolute breeze!<br />

<blockquote>
Winter Hyacinth:</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Winter Hyacinth is from the Australian indie brand Femme Fatale Cosmetics. It is described as a soft teal cruelly with large white hexes & white matte diamonds. It also has fuchsia hex & round metallic glitters & it is a stunner baby! I love the squishy feel of cruelly polishes so I chose to use 3 coats on it's own.
