Another beautiful polish from Octopus Party Nail Lacquer - this time the most delicate white with hints of seafoam blue! </div>

I have seen other bloggers using the recent off whites from OPNL as bases for lovely works of stamping art. I'm straight up mediocre at stamping, so I'll just show you the polish! At first glance it's white, but when you get close and personal you see the subtle hint of a beachy blue. It really makes me think of the ocean! I can almost hear the fizzing foam as the waves draw out...</div>

Application wise, the first thing I look for in whites is flooding of the cuticles. I find it's a hard color, either too thin or too thick most of the time, but Dave does a great job of finding a balance. It took 3 thin layers to be completely opaque, but if I had done them a little thicker I could have gotten away with just two. I'm happy to have this in my summer arsenal, unorthodox pastels are really big this year! </div>

This is a little out of my norm for this blog, but I wanted to show off the results of playing around with all this awesome makeup. First up, let me tell you what they included:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Mary Kay® Bronzing Powder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Usually I stick to just eye makeup - I could say it's because I'm a new mom and I just don't have time to put into the rest of my face, but truthfully I've always mostly focused on eyeshadow, liner and mascara. Lately I have been trying to take time for myself, even if it is just 5 minutes a day. It's amazing what putting on a little makeup can do for your mood! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Let's chat about the products a little:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First up, I used a thin layer of the MK translucent face powder, lightly brushed over my BB cream of choice - L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier in Fair. The powder helped even out my tone, and if I wanted a slightly dewier look I could have reversed the order and done powder first, then cream. Either way I don't need full coverage so I go light on both products at this step. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTYj7OLS7HocU-5N2GQo_XZBWL54LFW9VFB-t6be_JiS-YpeieEwtlpGCl-H6DcSA_Fhth0J1PF_cgzVYZQrk-leizfL4MYnL_fXn4jp4yJrWG8IswPQ3NEVYCTiSgrRlBxN7CT8MquPA/s1600/a_480x367.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTYj7OLS7HocU-5N2GQo_XZBWL54LFW9VFB-t6be_JiS-YpeieEwtlpGCl-H6DcSA_Fhth0J1PF_cgzVYZQrk-leizfL4MYnL_fXn4jp4yJrWG8IswPQ3NEVYCTiSgrRlBxN7CT8MquPA/s1600/a_480x367.gif" height="246" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Next up, I lightly brushed a small amount of bronzer under my cheek bones, then accentuated the apple of my cheek bones with the blush provided. A little goes a long way with these two products, and the large brush they sent helps apply without streaking or heavy areas. I think I was more excited about getting the brushes than some of the products!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Once you have your face settled, it's time to add details. I used the smaller MK brush to apply the Apricot Twist eye cream to my lids, blending softly into my eyelid crease. Then I took the thinner extendable brush and applied a thin line to each lid. I have to emphasize how absolutely divine the gel eyeliner is. Smooth application, long lasting... I can't get over how much I love this stuff! The only complaint I have would be to say that the brush is not thin enough for the kind of eyeliner application I like. I ended up switching to a brush I owned previously for applications subsequent. The MK Lash love mascara has a good brush, with long bristles that capture each eyelash with only a little wiggling needed. I like to use an old mascara brush afterwards to eliminate clumping and lengthen the look of the mascara. It's also useful for eyebrows! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
At this point I could stop, but MK included one last little treat - a juicy orange lip gloss called Mango Tango. It is not my normal color choice but hey, I'm always up for trying something new! After applying I dabbed my lips a little to ease the glossy smacking. Regardless of whether the color works or not, the gloss itself applies smoothly and wears well. With that, my look is complete! </div>

And now, the final duo from Chirality's new collection, The Duality of Existence.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are dead is a play that follows two minor characters from Hamlet, who stumble through the play, bewildered from only catching fragments of the main story. It's an absurd, existential adventure that reminds us even the extras are people, too. And let's not forget the fact the movie stars Gary Oldman and Tim Roth, two of my favorite actors!<br />

Rosencrantz is the most perfect sherbert lime holo. Delicate and sweet with a holo punch, this color could be the anthem for Spring 2014! Application was great - I used 2 generous layers here. I did the dishes and tidied up after taking these pictures and was happy to find my polish was almost mint condition afterwards! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Guildenstern is the perfect partner to Rosencrantz. It's a creme base with a great balance of neon pink, gold and holo glitter. I used one layer over my previous Rosencrantz mani. I say the glitter is well balanced because it took no further positioning to get a nice show on the nail! I used a thin layer of seche over it for a quick dry, but take care to use it when the nail polish is wet or you could get shrinkage. </div>

One of my favorite parts of Chirality are the awesome stories Jason writes for each polish listing. Here is a sample of the story you can find in the listing for A Major Hero :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #240202; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px;">" The motorcade pulled onto the dirt road which led to the farm that Victor lived on. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #240202; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px;">It had been three weeks since he last saw his home, his family, his normal way of life. He never expected things to turn out the way they did at that building. A part of him still thought he was dreaming. </span><span style="line-height: 15px;">He remembered the guns going off and everyone screaming around him. He remembered each face that wanted him dead. </span></span><span style="color: #240202; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 15px;">They tried coming for him but he prevailed somehow and took down each one. When everyone came out of that building holding on to each other, Victor remembered how he could barely breath. He became overwhelmed when cops, medical technicians, and reporters swarmed them. He remembered telling a reporter that he just wanted to go home and kiss his wife.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #240202; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 15px;">"</span></div>

A strong lavender looks beautiful with Spring dresses. You can see full loops of rainbow in the right lighting, but even inside this polish has a beautiful sparkle. Application was nice and smooth, opaque in two normal coats. It dried quickly without a topcoat. </div>

<br />
A Weiss Heroine is a beautiful lavender creame based glitter polish. The glitter is bold but well balanced - I really dig the black rectangles! I used two dabbed layers over "Hero" to produce this look, with a thin layer of seche. If you look closely you can see the holographic glitter shining tiny rainbows!<br />
<br />
There is still one more pair in my celebration of Chirality's newest collection - please check back in a few days for the last duo in the Duality of Existence!<br />

Described as a periwinkle linear holo, this polish is a beautiful shade of blue for Spring. Periwinkle really likes to walk the line between blue and purple to me, not that I mind! Chirality as a brand has pretty much nailed the soft linear holo effect, creating the best dichotomy for a polish in my opinion - delicate but strong. </div>

Iceman is a shimmering periwinkle blue base with assorted shapes and colors of glitter. I used two dabbed layers over a base coat of Maverick, which worked out as a great base. Iceman really doesn't need a base though, it can be opaque on it's own if you want. The glitter is well balanced and I like the color scheme! </div>

Today I have two polishes from the newest collection by Chirality, The Duality of Existence! This perfect pair is inspired by the amazing series Breaking Bad. </div>

The To'hajiilee Indian reservation is host to all manner of strange and dangerous activites in Breaking Bad. Jason and Amanda have matched the dusky red hue of the soaring plateaus and sandy crevices with this adobe colored holo. A smidge browner based than coral, it still has a feminine feel. I spent a part of my childhood in Alberquerque and find something comforting about this polish. </div>

As our anti-hero descended to the depths of his fall, we mourned beside him. I love that Breaking Bad ended so strongly, and I am glad that this polish is just as bold! A creamy adobe with translucent flecks and different shapes of complimentary glitter. This is one generous layer over "To'hajiilee", the perfect companion base! </span></span></div>

"The Motions in the Potion" is a dark blue based polish with green and blue micro glitter scattered throughout. It has great coverage - I only needed two thin layers to achieve the look seen below! I love how the glitter sparkles in the darker base. It almost looks like a night sky! I also adore how it matches my hair color, with dark blue, teal and turquoise accents. Thank you so much Esther!</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"It was all unknown to me then, as I sat on that white bench on the day I finished my hike. Everything except the fact that I didn't have to know. That is was enough to trust that what I'd done was true. To understand its meaning without yet being able to say precisely what it was, like all those lines from The Dream of a Common Language that had run through my nights and days. To believe that I didn't need to reach with my bare hands anymore. To know that seeing the fish beneath the surface of the water was enough. That it was everything. It was my life - like all lives, mysterious and irrevocable and sacred. So very close, so very present, so very belonging to me.</span></div>

Amy likes to think of this polish as "Disco Granite". What a great way to describe the blend of grey crelly base with darker grey flecks and stunningly opalescent holo flakes! Whatever it is, it's gorgeous. This is three thin layers with a topcoat - Despite being packed full of pretties, it lays nice and smooth, drying quickly with the aid of a fast dry topcoat. </div>

Today, Model City Polish is releasing a new collection, inspired by the Resident Evil series! I have two polishes to show you from it!</div>
<a name='more'></a>Even though I am generally a big wimp when it comes to horror/action films, I really love when there is a strong female heroine - I just cover my eyes for the scary parts! It's worth having to cover my eyes for the scary parts to see a passionate, talented woman kicking some ass... even if she is part of some massive genetic experiment.<br />

First up is Nemesis, a beautiful metallic olive green/gold with rich scattered holo. What yo usee on my nails is two generous coats, which dried quickly even without topcoat! When you look at the closeup you can see there are micro flecks scattered throughout the nail as well. </div>

Licker is a lovely coral polish. Along with a slight color shift in the right lights, this polish is subtly intricate with micro flecks dancing across the nail! I have a feeling Coral is going to be a trending color this Spring - what a great take on it from Nina! This is also two coats, with a thin layer of Seche Vite.</div>

This green makes me yearn for Spring! Sadly, when I woke up this morning big fat snowflakes were falling from the sky. After falling to my knees in despair, I crawled over to my computer to at least live vicariously through pictures of sunny days. This polish is a nice reminder that the world is not always white and grey - plus check out that lovely holo effect! This is two layers, Amy's polishes always apply so smoothly and dry quick.<br />

I expected Plume and Bloom to be more sheer from the bottle, but was pleasantly surprised to find it opaque in two layers. It is nicely balanced between being thick enough to dry smoothly but still being thin enough for easy application. I did not use any base coat to achieve this look, just three thin layers dabbed and spread into place. </div>

In the Etsy listing, Sex with my Ex is shown layered to create an opaque look, but I wanted to try something different. I used one coat of it over Literary Lacquer's "Leaping Greenly" for a cute spring look. It makes me think of a tiny field of flowers on each nail! I love the tiny holo glitter balancing the slightly larger pink and magenta hex, and the base is clear so it doesn't distort the base coat of your choice. Decidedly more satisfying than actual sex with your Ex, and a far better decision!</div>

Today I have four beautiful polishes from a new-to-me brand, Indie Polish, plus a sample of her Cuticle Cream! </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Matte me Coral is exactly what it sounds like - a beautifully matte coral that applies like an opaque jelly. It dries quickly, turning consistently matte when done. I really like this shade, I could see it being a popular nail choice this Spring! </div>

I decided to use it as a base for the next polish, which also gave me an opportunity to show you "Coral" with a shiny finish. Spring by Monet is a clear based glitter topper with hex in pastel shades. This is one dabbed layer, which gives a scattered but well balanced finish. </div>
<br />

This Black holo is gorgeous! Using both kinds of holo to produce a hybrid effect, this polish has a beautiful finish. It has a jelly like base, which is my favorite medium for holo polish! Really lets the holo shine through in darker colors. This is 2 generous layers.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using the black holo as a base, I dabbed one layer of Sonic Neon over the top. A rainbow that could have come straight from the 80's in a clear base, this polish is really eye-catching! It lays smoothly on the nail and dries quickly, aided by your favorite fast dry topcoat of course. </div>

I was also sent a sample of "Make me a Lady" cuticle cream. It smells fresh and lemony, a lot like lemony flutter by Lush, which got me pretty excited! I have been using it for the past two weeks 1-2 times a day and I can definitely see it has helped my cuticles survive these temperature changes we have had. I've almost used the whole tub up, i'll need to get more! Please excuse my yellow nails - that's the price you pay as a nail polish blogger!</div>

First up is Drunken Unicorn, a pretty cream base with pastel glitters in different shapes and sizes, though they are all on the small side. It makes me think of a pretty, speckled Unicorn Egg - if Uni's laid eggs, of course. </div>

Unicorn 2.2 is a gorgeous, extremely linear lavendar topcoat with iridescent glitters subtly floating about. I used it here, one coat, over Zoya's "Casey", an oxblood red jelly. I love using dark colors that aren't black as a base, to mix it up! This is definitely my favorite polish of the four - Seriously, look at that holo curve!<br />

Spring is coming, and with it's warm breezes it's blowing in pastels! Unicorn Love is a robin's egg blue with Easter Egg colored speckles. It's dainty, almost, and I think it would look great as an Easter mani base! </div>

Last but not least, Time to be a Unicorn. This polish, with it's pink base and candy colored glitters, reminds me of the coveted "Candyshop" by Claire's... only this one is better because the base has a scattered holo! Another great look for Spring. </div>

Today I am happy to bring you the Rafflecopter for a Super Mega Awesome Giveaway I am participating in - but it's a little different than normal! Check out the details, rules and prizes inside.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
It's no secret the nail polish community can be full of drama, and at times it is quite cut throat. Thankfully, there are also bunches of kind people, ready to help at a moment's notice! A group of wonderful ladies have banded together to bring you a giveaway packed FULL of amazing prizes, in hopes of raising money to help a dear friend who has had hard times lately. Each of the prizes has been donated by a friend of Emily's, who wants to help make things easier for her and her family during this difficult stretch.<br />
<br />
Along with being a breadwinner for her household and owner of Carpe Noctem Cosmetics, Emily is also a mother, and has recently had intense back pain that ended up leading to surgery on her spine. Stuck with limited mobility as it heals, Em has been concerned about maintaining her polish shop and keeping her family afloat. We hoped to help take some of the pressure off - and what better way to raise awareness and funds than with a huge giveaway!<br />
<br />
To enter: Please make a donation to Emily's <a href="http://www.gofundme.com/6hielo">Gofundme</a> account - you can do this once a day, with a minimum of $5 per donation. Every little bit helps, and we appreciate your entry!<br />

I first met Em when I was new to the blogging scene. She was one of the first companies to take a chance on letting me swatch for them, and in the past 10 months (has it really been that long already!?) she has been a great friend to me. She is also a very talented creator, inspiring me daily with her many talents and crafts. I am also impressed with how she juggles being a stay at home mom to her adorable daughter, partner to her military husband and all around neat person. I asked a few of her friends what motivated them to donate time and prizes for this giveaway, and here's what they had to say! -<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"I met Emily when a friend suggested her as someone who made fantastic custom polishes. I ordered one and quickly found out she was right! Emily's passion for her polish line is astounding and something I think every indie make should aspire to have. She's such a sweet girl with a huge heart. She works hard every single day to take care of her family and to grow her business and I'm so grateful to have gotten to know her. I hope we're able to really do something amazing for her with this giveaway."</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">"I'm participating in this to help Emily because she's been there for me when I need someone to talk to, or needed help brainstorming and figuring things out. She's extremely kind, caring, generous and an all around awesome person who is always willing to lend an ear or a hand in something."</span></span><br />

Maria from NN3k is a creative whirlwind, almost daily coming up with beautiful new creations for her burgeoning indie nail company. Here are two of her more recent polishes, "Aurora Rose" and "Cosmic Rain".</div>
<a name='more'></a>I'm going to try a different placement of the product links on today's post - you can find the link directly to the polish underneath it's collage. Let me know if you prefer this style to my normal (all the links at the end of the post).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Aurora Rose is a limited pour polish, inspired literally from a dream I had! In my dream, I walked into a beauty shop and was quite surprised to find an entire display of NailNation polishes, with a Menu on the wall of available product, almost like a fast food restaurant. The name that stuck out to me was Sleeping Beauty, although I remember seeing many polishes. I tried to tell the shop owner I knew Maria, but he seemed pretty non impressed in the face of my excitement, haha! When I woke up, I immediately messaged Maria to tell her about her product's cameo. She told me she was working on an unnamed pink that closely fit the description I gave her, and presto - Aurora Rose was born! </div>

The polish itself straight up reminds me of pink roses with a slight green sheen. Holo sparkles create a glowy undertone, making this a very dynamic pink. I seriously love that Maria made this - that's part of the magic of the indie community right there! </div>

Along with Aurora Rose I recieved Cosmic Rain, A glitter bomb holo topcoat that adds a little pop. I chose to show it over Aurora Rose so you can an idea of what it adds to the undies. This is one generous layer dabbed over the two of AR. It didn't take long to dry and the whole thing was still smooth and nice on the nail. The glitter is well balanced, and I like how it has a little depth. </div>

Victoria Volainna Designs was one of the very first indie companies that let me swatch for them. We were both starting out, she in polish making and I in blogging. Almost a year later, I get to try out some new polishes from her, and see how she has grown!</div>

It's always exciting to revisit a brand that you haven't gotten to swatch in a while, especially when it's one that helped you get off the ground. Just as my blog has leveled up since I started swatching last April, VVD has improved as well! Let's take a look at the polishes she sent me and I'll show you how.</div>

Fans of the book and musical "Wicked" should recognize this green "skin" tone - Elphaba, better known as the Wicked Witch of the East, is intelligent, sharp and even a resistance fighter to the Anti-talking-animals movement in Oz. I love how the literature expands on the one note character from the original series, and I think it's awesome to make a polish after her character! </div>

The polish itself is a slightly metallic green with a strong shimmer. I love how bold the color is at the same time as feeling somewhat soft. This is two thin layer with a coat of Seche. It positively glows on the nail! This color will be great when it starts to warm up, it's a perfect Spring shade of green.</div>

Next up is a metallic blurple base with scattered glitter and raspberry purple squares. Azure Dragonling has great coverage, making it easily opaque in two coats. The glitter is distributed nicely, and lays smoothly on the nail when dry. The color combo is pretty unique, but they all suit eachother... personally I like green and purple together, when done properly! </div>

Just in time we have Fat Tuesday, a glitter bomb in all the shades of Mardi Gras! These colors are just meant to be together, and look great. The base is a shimmery white, a great choice because it really lets the glitter take center stage while still providing a nice background. The more I look at that closeup the more I want to go down to NOLA and get my party on! Maybe I'll just settle for some King Cake... if I can find any up here, that is!</div>

Royal Sapphire is a rich metallic blue. I recommend two coats for best coverage, but it's almost there with one. The hue is vibrant and it doesn't stain - big thumbs up all around. I think it sort of looks like the ocean with the sun scattered across it in that bottom close up! Another perfect shade for Spring.</div>

Last but not least, Warm Chocolate. In the sun it really does make me think of rich milk chocolate melted on a hot summer day! I think the metallic touch is a good balance to how brown it is - I'm all for brown polish but I like it to have a little something extra! This is a true one coater, easy to apply and fast to dry. If you are a fan of brown polish you might want to check this out! </div>

Eloise is a sheer red base with white holo and red glitter. It has great density when it comes to the glitter, making it easy to layer into a full coverage look in 2-3 coats. It also lays really smooth, which is nice! I love how juicy this looks, sort of like a ripe strawberry!</div>

Valentina is a beautifully shimmery pale pink polish with a slightly purple micro-fleck effect. It's opaque in two thin layers, and dries quickly. There is the most subtle holo like sparkle when the light hits this polish right that really adds something - this one is perfect for Spring!</div>

Please make sure to check out the rest of the collection on <a href="http://annekathleen.com/">Annekathleen.com</a> - I'll be posting pics of them soon! As always, Anne Kathleen Polish is 5-free, which totally rocks! I like knowing the polish I wear is not just beautiful but also less harmful to me and the environment, plus does not endorse testing on animals! It doesn't take cruelty to make beauty. :)<br />

<a name='more'></a>Invariably Fatal is absolutely gorgeous. Obvious to the eye in pictures is the vibrant hue, the strong holo and a little bit of pink flake. In person you see the shift from blue to shimmery pink very clearly! I actually managed to get one picture that shows more clearly the shift -<br />

As you can tell, this polish has so many faces! Easy to apply (what you see here is two thin layers), it dries quickly as well and has the long lasting quality you expect from Literary Lacquers. This will be available in the March "Sacre Bleu" themed Indie-go Box, along with polishes from Ethereal Lacquer, Stardust Polish and Pipe Dream Polish! </div>

I was super excited to get to try out a glitter bomb from this new-to-me brand. David sent me "Where the Green Grass Glows", a breath of spring in a bottle! Brightly colored hex in shades of green and silver pop in a clear base, making a great topcoat or stackable for more coverage. I wore two dabbed layers over Ruby White Tips "Stellar Changer" to achieve this look, with a thin layer of Seche vite to top it all off. I love how brilliant this looks in the light - a definite eye catcher! </div>

I've seen Pretty & Polished all around the FB nail polish community, but had not tried them before - what a mistake that turned out to be. Come check out the three polishes I got to swatch! </div>

The first polish is My Friend Dahlia. When I first applied this polish it went on a rich purple with a sparkle. I got distracted by my son and when I next looked at my nails, they were a vibrant pink. For a moment I thought I might genuinely be crazy, until it dawned on me that this must be a thermal polish! Purple when cool, pink when warm, this polish is quick to change and very easy to apply. What you see here is two coats, with a thin layer of seche on top. I really liked how smooth this polish felt while applying, and the dry time was nice too. Definitely an awesome polish - I spent way too much time playing with my nails under the faucet, haha.</div>

Green Eyes and Stormy Skies is a dark grey to green shifter, with subtle flecks and a sparkly shimmer. It's a perfectly stormy looking color for the weather lately! The shift is strong and the colors really suit each other. Application and dry time were easy peasy, and it wore well through house chores - always a big plus!</div>

Last but certainly not least, Love Bytes, the exciting glitter polish I showed FB followers a peek of on Valentines Day. Love Bytes has holo micro hex tightly packed in a bright pink cocktail of glitters, speckled with small purple hex. You can use it as a topper or layer it to create an opaque look - either way you won't be able to stop looking at your nails! Unfortunately it was a LE polish this year, but you might be able to find it in private sales!</div>

I don't normally spill too much personal info here, because I know you want to read about nails, not whatever is going on in my life - but I have to say sorry for taking so long between the post and this one. I feel bad, but truth is I have been in a complete funk. This is my second winter in the NorthEast, and it's kicking my southern girl ass. Seriously, I am not designed to function in this sort of polar nightmare! I am aching for it to be Spring...Safe to say Seasonal Affect Disorder is hitting everyone in the family hard. I am also dealing with a pent up 1 year old and my 4 year old step daughter, and between the two of them I have increasingly less time to do my nails! I want to keep writing this blog, but I think I need to scale back the complexity of my posts a bit for a little bit, so I can keep providing the nail polish pics and info to my readers while keeping my sanity. To do this, I've decided to cut the title images for each polish - I love doing them, they have been a great way to express my personal interpretation of the polish, but they take a lot of time and when I have a lot of polishes to swatch, it can be very overwhelming. Thank you for reading my blog, I appreciate your continued support!</div>

Kept the Ring is a shimmery red with flashy micro hex in bright blue and red. It's sheer but has good coverage, as seen here with three layers. It's different, I like it!<br />

I love this color! Shifting from orange to cobalt, this polish has a lot of personality. It has fairly chunky iridescent flakes in it, but it layers nicely at two coats. A little work was needed to dab the flakies into place, but the payoff is nice! I used the 7&P smoothing topcoat to help the nail lay smoother. So far this manicure has survived doing the dishes - thumbs up!</div>

Beyond the sea is a creamy blue base with scattered holo. It's beautiful and a true one coater! In person the rainbow is easy to find, but it hid for my pics - curse this winter haze for masking the sun! Let me reiterate, one coater. I used the Glass Shine topcoat for these pictures.</div>

Today's review is for a new-to-me company called Aliquid Lacquer. I was really happy with the strong style and easy application of these polishes - come take a look! </div>
<a name='more'></a>I was also sent one of her handmade lip balms, in Chai. It smells amazing and feels really soft on my lips - perfect timing for all these damn Polar Vortexes too, which is great! The picture below is from the Aliquid site, I couldn't get a good pic for some reason.<br />

First up is my favorite of the four polishes sent to me. Gargoyle is a grey near sheer base with flecks of gold, bronze, grey, light grey, dark grey... on the nail it seriously looks like stone! </div>

It's beautiful, and so unique! The flecks are small enough that they don't overwhelm the nail, but are definitely eye catching. This is two normal layers - as you can see it is nicely opaque. Dry time was quick with seche, and it wore well. I ended up keeping this on and taking my son to the Children's museum, which is always a test for a mani! </div>

Rich purple base filled with purple iridescent flakes, orchid colored shards and white hex... honestly it is hard to describe every single thing that you can see on your nail at any one time. It's complex, beautiful, and surprisingly easy to get smoothly onto your nails! This is three thin layers dabbed on then brushed gently into place, with a thin layer of seche to cap it all off. Once again, complex and delicate. I'm sensing a trend here!</div>

I loved how smoothly this polish applies, easily brushing into place to create a nicely layered pool on every nail. I really like when hex of different sizes stack on each other to create depth like this! Dry time was fine, faster with a fast dry topcoat of course. No need for a glitter smoothing topcoat with this or any of the ALiquids I tried, always a plus!</div>

Backpack, Backpack! It sure would be useful to have a backpack that could hold as much stuff as Dora's - I would use it to store all my nailpolish! This polish is not your average look, and I wasn't sure about it in the bottle - but on the nail it is pretty, and very unique. The base layers well to be opaque in two coats, but still sheer enough to give depth. I know there are people out there just nutty about brown polishes, and this is one they won't want to miss! Now I am going to go listen to music to try to get the Backpack song out of my head...</div>

When I say micro I mean Micro! These are so tiny and delicate but still bright enough to stand out on the nail. It's a different look and I really like it! The polish applies easy enough - I used two generous layers to achieve this fully opaque look. Dry time was a breeze with my fast dry topcoat, and I love how glossy and shiny this polish finishes! I like that it almost seems like a pink because of the purple flecks, but when you get in there you can tell it's definitely red. </div>

In the bottle this polish is eye catching, to say the least. On the nail it's deliciously girly but decidedly fierce! The shade is reminiscent of Barbie's Malibu Jeep, which sounds like it wouldn't be a good thing - but it really is gorgeous! The flecks are colorless and nearly translucent, plus balanced nicely to not take over the nail. My son is obsessed with the bottle - I don't blame him, the color absolutely glows! This is my favorite of the two, though it was a hard choice to make!</div>

Two beautiful polishes from the Anne Kathleen Nail Polish "Cafe au Lait" collection!</div>
<a name='more'></a>It has taken me entirely too long to get my swatches of these polishes up on the blog - If you have been following me for a long time you know that I reviewed this collection months ago, when Fall was on it's way. Now that we are deep entrenched in the throes of Winter, it's a great time to revisit these warm drink inspired polishes!<br />

Hazel is opaque after two coats, and easy to apply. this polish was really easy to work with! On the nails it layers well to a rich finish. I think AKNP is really great at balancing a glitter polish, and here is a great example - simple enough in concept but when you apply you see the difference in a good polish or a mediocre one. If you like browns this would be a great addition to your collection!</div>

Ginger is a lovely creamy orange. It reminds me of a melon or orange cream soda, perhaps. I loved how silky smooth the application was, and dry time was great. Orange is not a color I generally go to for nails, but this is definitely pretty enough to reconsider that. It's also a great base for glitter toppers! This is two generous coats with a thin layer of seche vite fast dry top coat.</div>
