A pretty common blue I think but I realized it was a color missing from my collection. Medium blue shimmer, needed 3 coats and there is still VNL but I don't mind it in this polish. I was actually surprised by how much I liked this!

Coming up next is a couple Pure Ice swatches :)

Previously I had overlooked the new Hard Candy line with a quick glance. Down on that bottom shelf they all look pretty common and like nothing special. However, when I decided to take another look I spotted these 2.

Lava is gorgeous. I hate red on me and I LOVE this color. It has that lit from within glimmer, red with gold glitter and it applied like magic. 2 coats or slick and perfect application. This is an instant favorite.




All in all- the Hard Candy line is not bad at all. I remember a few years back having a Hard Candy polish and it was terrible in every way. I will surely be checking more of these out if only for the great application. They sell for $5 at Walmart and come with a cute little plastic heart right (like in the first picture :)

And here is the ball of mold I pulled out of the dog food bag...I said I would post it and here it is. Still no response, considering ways to get their attention. This is not acceptable, what if this isn't the only bag with something like this? I would make a youtube video but I simply do not have a webcam. Any ideas?

Love this color, it is a nice creamy orange with slight silver shimmer. 2 coats, but I have to say for an insta-dry polish this didn't dry very well. I had it on for a couple hours before taking a nap and there were obvious lines left in it from my hair. I haven't had this issue with the insta-dry line though. Can't wait to wear this on my toes this summer!

An update on the whole thing on the mold-in-the-dog-food I wrote about last time...I called and left them a message yesterday and haven't heard back about that OR the email I wrote. I will post a picture of the ball of mold in my next post for you all to see as someone requested in the comments. Right now I'm off to catch up with Breaking Bad :)

This polish is U-G-L-Y! I put it on and immediately removed it. The polish was just gross and thick and the color is too yellow for me. The glitter is just not an appealing one for me, I tried it topping CG Breakin' and it didn't do it for me either. 3 coats.


I have lots of NOTD but I just need to get them off my camera and cropped down. I've had a busy week. Tomorrow night (technically tonight) I'm going to see Coheed and Cambria and I can't wait! Debating whether to try and get my ankle signed to add on to my Coheed keywork tattoo:)

On another note, I found a huge ball of MOLD as big as a golf ball in my dog food bag. I am not happy. We were feeding her Nutrish by Rachel Ray and I wrote in when I found it 3 days ago and still have not heard from them. I will be calling tomorrow.

I seem to have caught a nasty cold so just a quick update. Orly Wild Wisteria is a midnight purple cream from the Bloom collection. I honestly had no interest in the collection until I spotted this color in CVS. Application was amazing- one coat was nearly enough but I did two. None of the usual streaky mess of application you usually get with dark colors. I then stamped over it with Sally Hansen Blue Blast (so good for Konad!). No matter how hard I try I can never get the konad on straight. Oh well!

I loved loved loved the swatches of Kotori I saw before I ordered it...and don't get me wrong, it is pretty, but I thought I was going to hate this in the bottle! It was a huge disappointment in my unpackaging of my last Zoya order. Once on the nails though it totally redeems itself and looks gorgeous. Kotori is a dark kinda dull blue base full of brighter blue shimmer. Very pretty! It goes on a little sheer so it needs 3 coats, that first was so streaky I thought this color was a goner ;)
So, I am plotting a giveaway when I hit 100 followers (though I seem to be stuck at 74 for a while). I am planning on doing my favorite "must haves" that you may have missed. So, I'm wondering, what are your "must haves"/go to polishes?

I made it about a week without painting my nails, only using the lightener. I can't stand it anymore :P I have to say, it says it should start to work in 14 days...that is a little bit long for me. I noticed absolutely no difference in color in those 7 days. Is it worth whitening them if no one gets to see them anyways? :P They are always covered by polish!

Anyways, this is a quick drug store find. One that made my husband say "oooh". It is a little more creamy in real life, think the powder that comes with Easy Mac and Cheese. I realized my collection was lacking a nice orange cream and this is perfect.

Please ignore the ragged cuticles- I have been spring cleaning a lot! And these are just a quick swatch so there was no clean up.
