Butter London - Jack the Lad
<3
opi - pedal faster, suzi
hmmmmmmmmm. this is a nice, light pink. not really my style, though? i think it needs glitter…
butter london - victoriana
EEEEEK, this is super pretty! and that’s all i have to say about that!
la girl - icon
i keep disappearing on you guys. sorry, i’ve just been very busy gearing up for another HARE polish sale!!! i got my lacquer base in (finally) and i have just been swimming in glitter. stay tuned, and make sure you’re signed up for the email list!
anyway, i am really into polishes with more subtle shimmer lately, and i reeeeeeally love the color addicts collection by la girl. the gold shimmer in icon is awesome.
edit:
yep, this is the forever 21 version of this color, but i prefer listing it with the original name for this color, as the repackaged version from f21 just says “blue”. ha!
opi - kris kringle makes me tingle
you guys… i’ve wanted this polish ever since jyj posted chanel - cosmic violine and i knew i’d never have it and my life was totally over. i got a hold of this sorta dupey opi instead and i am so happy about it. i wish i could have captured it a bit better, but that’s okay!
opi - ds mystery
i liked this polish, something happened to me and i like wearing almost-black polish again. i just wish the gold flecks would have been a bit more obvious.
china glaze - grape juice
i got this with my girl laura / truthteller last weekend! we went to my fav beauty supply shop and then watched bridesmaids (which was hilarious and perfect and i want to watch it again really really really badly!!) nice purple with silver glass flecks / shimmer. (pls ignore the tip wear, had a busy day at work). i’m a tad bored with it after 24 hours but too busy in the HARE Polish lab to change!
unknown brand - silvery grey (no polish name either)
essie - kisses and bises
one day (last week or so?) i came home to a lovely little box with 2 mini polishes in it that mr. nailingit surprised me with. love him. he got them from a small boutique that sells handmade things in SF- these mini polishes are custom mixed by someone and they rule.
i had the most difficult time of my life trying to capture the pink shimmer from essie - kisses and bises, (i’m talking about DAYS of telling my cameras to go ffffffffffffff themselves) and this is the best i could do. in low light the finish is pretty opalescent and in better lighting the shimmer is very visible. i really love this manicure and i’m already on the 4th day wearing it but i don’t want to take it off yet!
duri - kingdom of shadows
this one is similar to orly - galaxy girl which i never ended up buying. i found an amazingly cheap beauty supply with a whole WORLD of nail polish in sf, and this little bottle of wonder is one of the newest babies i brought home. i love it a lot, my nails kind of look like weird bruises with a teal shimmer.
