Since then I've been here and there, shooting the breeze, etc. I'm posting today for anyone that might still be out there in the great yonder.<br />
<br />
My nail polish brand, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/knottheapple" target="_blank">Lacquer Convention</a>, has been closed for about two years now and I'm looking to finally open on Etsy again to sell out the stock that's been in storage since then!<br />
<br />
Please stop by to take advantage of this sale!<br />
<br />
You can find my shop here at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/knottheapple" target="_blank">Knot the Apple on Etsy!</a><br />

It's been a while since I've posted anything on the blog and unfortunately today is not about nail polish (though I'll be getting back to that very soon!). Instead, it's a plea for some help!<br />
<br />
I'm part of a team for GISHWHES*, an intense, global scavenger hunt created by Misha Collins of Supernatural. One of our goals this year is to break the world record for the "Most Pledges to Commit a Random Act of Kindness."<br />
<br />
I'm <i>not </i>asking for any money, guys. <u>All you have to do is pledge to fulfill a random act of kindness before the end of the year.</u> It's FREE and you're not committing to a newsletter (unless you opt to). Your random act can be pretty much anything kind under the sun. The idea comes from the core belief that a little kindness spreads into more and more kindness, making the world a better place to live in. <br />
<br />
What's my pledge for this event? To donate unwanted nail polish and other items to a local women's shelter. Totally applicable to my life and easy to do! Kindness can be found in big or small things, in cheering someone up on a bad day or helping those affected by Hurricane Sandy! The possibilities are endless!<br />
<br />
<b>To pledge, you can follow <a href="http://cluster.gishwhes2012.com/pledge.php" target="_blank">this link</a>. Please, please, please enter my email into the referral field. (YSHISLEY@GMAIL.COM) It's an item on the scavenger hunt to collect pledges!</b><br />
<br />
*<a href="http://cluster.gishwhes2012.com/" target="_blank">GISHWHES </a>stands for the "Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen." This item is inspired by Misha's charity, <a href="http://www.therandomact.org/" target="_blank">Random Acts</a>. Aside from being an item on the scavenger hunt list, I am very passionate about its goals and mission, taking over the world with kindness. Please pledge! <br />
<br />
Thanks so much for taking the time to read and hopefully pledge!<br />
<br />

I've been hanging around in the California sun lately, trying not to melt, but one thing I definitely appreciate is how great my polish looks lately! And do you know what the perfect finish to wear in the sun is? Well, holographic, of course! <br />
<br />
Today, I have some swatches of most of the Jade Holographic line to dazzle you with rainbows. I don't have all of the colors, eight out of ten, but as a whole line, they're amazing polishes. The holographic finish in each one is very strong and visible and it isn't dulled by top coat. Application is consistently flawless with every color too, something that can't be said about a lot of holos. Overall, I adore everything about these polishes, so I won't talk much about each one individually to keep from being too repetitive. <br />
<br />
Ready for pictures? Let's take a look.<br />

Hypnose is a true blue holo. These pictures show two coats. I've compared this to Energy side by side on my nails and the difference is really hard to photograph! In person, however, you can see that Energy is greener and actually has a stronger holo than Hypnose.<br />

Mystic Gold is my favorite from this line. I have a huge problem with gold holos--I love them so much, I buy nearly every one I find! This one is so rich, I just adore it. One of my favorite polishes all around actually! These pictures show two coats.<br />

Seducao Rosa is a lighter pink holo. Compared to Deja Vu, it is just that, lighter. They both seem to have a pretty similar holo strength to them. These pictures show two coats, but it any of them may need a third coat, it is this one. I did one thin and one thicker to make sure all visible nail line was hidden.<br />

Today I want to show you a mani I did a couple weeks ago for <a href="http://thepolishwell.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Polish Well's</a> fashion inspired nail art contest. I, unfortunately, kept dragging my feet when it came to getting this done. My BFF and I had planned to do several different manicures together to choose from, all inspired by her fabulous closet full of all kinds of vintage treasures. Well, we tend to get sidetracked and I mucked up a few different ones... I finally sat down, got to work and settled on this one.<br />
<br />

I was kind of in a pickle when I picked this particular article of clothing. I packed up only about a third of my collection to take with me to California this summer and I...well, I didn't bring any red nail polish. I know, I know, definitely a foolish move on my part! The only red I had was Nubar's Unfaithful Red. I figured I would give it a shot before I went to borrow something from my BFF and it actually turned out beautifully! <br />

Here's the shot of her skirt that I took for reference on my phone while we were planning! Gorgeous, right? I actually have this picture set as the background on my phone now, that's how obsessed I am with her skirt.<br />

I think the manicure would have looked good with the same bright red as the skirt itself, but the added spark from Unfaithful Red really turned out better than I had hoped.<br />

The stripes were done freehand with a striping brush and then the dots were added with a dotting tool. I used China Glaze Liquid Leather as for the black. It was really quite simple to do!<br />

Today I have a simple and fun mani to show you. I've been pretty rough on my nails lately unfortunately. I filed them down pretty short and still managed to have more chips and breaks in the last three weeks than the last six months! <br />
<br />
Let's not dwell on that though! On to the manicure!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMljqB1r1AGIwdwzjyiEbsF9MKgyhdujizQnsegyhM0orbvax_xFOI5II91LhwaN8QOOwank9gOws59UFJfBUgSZcq_LTF2hq5o3VFVOqkL96HLTE0F07mnNdQhhLnZg4bL91yqle6UL11/s1600/ArmedAndReadyGoldStripe02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMljqB1r1AGIwdwzjyiEbsF9MKgyhdujizQnsegyhM0orbvax_xFOI5II91LhwaN8QOOwank9gOws59UFJfBUgSZcq_LTF2hq5o3VFVOqkL96HLTE0F07mnNdQhhLnZg4bL91yqle6UL11/s640/ArmedAndReadyGoldStripe02.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
Essie's Armed and Ready is another one of those shades that I resisted buying for a long time. Though I definitely liked it every time I saw it in the store, I didn't buy it! I ended up caving in and picking it up when I went to a discount beauty supply store with my BFFs last week. It's a great olive green with a slight golden shimmer to it, which was being shy in these photographs. In any case, I thought it would be a fun pairing with my new bottle of Orly's Solid Gold. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl_hRZJiELMIDP5vzR92gu4bsUmgEX5uibjtxcXXAuh08FhuJI1z1jWi93cs8XaFFfaq70BePFK1wa10S6XkUor0BEzgwkKO_oAYBn8yko92irOISY5lZ-xEp8p-YNm0TXwDOxbanFkUE9/s1600/ArmedAndReadyGoldStripe03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl_hRZJiELMIDP5vzR92gu4bsUmgEX5uibjtxcXXAuh08FhuJI1z1jWi93cs8XaFFfaq70BePFK1wa10S6XkUor0BEzgwkKO_oAYBn8yko92irOISY5lZ-xEp8p-YNm0TXwDOxbanFkUE9/s640/ArmedAndReadyGoldStripe03.jpg" width="522" /></a></div>
<br />
Both polishes are super easy to work with and apply. I put down two coats of Armed and Ready. It was a nice consistency and covered well, leveling nicely. I did the stripe with the regular polish brush from Solid Gold. It's such a great matte! Not only is it gorgeous, but the formula is pretty darn amazing. It dries quickly as mattes normally do, but it is really easy to get even coverage without streaking or getting too thick. I had to do two coats of each stripe. I then threw on a coat of top coat and called it good.<br />

This is Mondrian, inspired by the classic color blocking painting that showcases the three primary colors. This polish is a clear base filled with gold, red and blue hexagons with white squares and black bar glitter. These pictures show one coat over American Apparel's Lopez Canyon.<br />

Oh My Mod! is a wild and crazy mix of many different shapes, sizes and colors, including squares, hexagons, bars and stars in a clear base. Pictured here, it is layered over some basic cremes in one thick coat.<br />

It's been a while since I did some real complicated nail art, so I'm a liiiittle rusty. However, I just couldn't resist doing a celebratory manicure for the announcement that there will be another Sailor Moon anime released next year! <span style="background-color: white;">I'm a huge Sailor Moon fan. In case you were wondering or had any doubts. I think I mention how excited I am about this at least once a day to my family and friends. I do wonder how long before they get tired of it, but until then, I'm going to keep fangirling and doing SM manicures =D</span><br />

I forgot just how much it stinks to photograph nail art that may have gotten a little bit messy while I painted it. I apologize for not completely cleaning it up! The background was done with China Glaze Splish Splash from the recent summer neon collection. I put down a coat of white, then blended in Splish Splash. I added the pink with Zoya Lara and the mint is a blend of Zoya Tracie, Wednesday and a little white. Unfortunately, I don't have a good picture of it on its own, but it was actually really lovely! <br />

I based this manicure on this clip because I LOVED the transformation scene when I was a kid. Sailor Moon meant so much to me. I watched the first season when I was in third grade every morning before I went to school. Yep, this was before Toonami aired it. I <i>cried my eyes out </i>the morning that they stopped playing it and started playing Samurai Pizza Cats. (A show I could never love after it robbed me of Sailor Moon.) She is seriously the best super hero ever! </div>

I had to make a stencil for the moon on my index finger after trying and failing to make it look like a moon the first couple times. Everything else was freehanded with nail art brushes. I also forgot how tiny I needed my brushes to be to work with. I ended up trimming a junky one down to about half its size and it was still hard to work with. But now I'm in the mood for nail art again, so stay tuned!<br />

I started out layering Geyser Dew over a mystery shimmery blue from Sinful Colors (I bought it on sale and the label is missing!). It turned out to be a really pretty and glowy mani, but my camera absolutely hated it, so I apologize that you can't see everything in these first photos. In person, the effect is definitely eye-catching because you could see more of a contrast.<br />

These photos show two coats over blue. It applied pretty well, but I didn't really get much of the larger glitter out of the bottle. Next time I'm going to let it sit upside down for a few minutes before I paint. It was a bit of a hungry glitter and after a coat of Gelous and a coat of SV it still had a little texture to it.<br />

I decided to layer it over pink for a second set of pictures so you could better see this polish. It's a mix of matte glitters and satin-matte glitters. I liked it over the blue, but I think it's fabulous over bright pink, even better than the blue! I only used one layer over pink because I loved the contrast of the glitters with the base. This time, one coat of Gelous and one coat of top coat smoothed it out perfectly.<br />

It's been a while! My husband and I are settled again in California finally! My monitor got a little damaged during the trip so I ordered a new one and took a little time to spend with my family, but now I'm back again. Today, I have a review for you of a great indie polish, Summer Lovin Melon by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/andeevie" target="_blank">nAiL'DiT Unique Polish</a>. <br />

This polish is pretty much the perfect visual incarnation of a watermelon. It's really fun and fresh and definitely summery. The larger hexes are the perfect shade of watermelon pink! It also has lighter pink, green, white bar, black square and black heart glitter! It's a mix of metallic and matte glitters, which really works nicely here to give it a nice depth.<br />

These photos show one coat over Zoya Tracie, which I really dig as a base for this because of its brightness. It helps the glitter stand out! <span style="background-color: white;">Application was very easy. </span><span style="background-color: white;">I didn't actually have to hunt for the hearts and they came out of the bottle easily, though I did flip them on the nail so they faced the direction I wanted for this mani. I smoothed it out completely with a layer of Gelous and a layer of top coat.</span><br />

Today I have a quick and fun mani featuring Illamasqua's Faithful from their Naked Strangers collection. It's one of three nail lacquers in this collection and the last of my first Illamasqua haul. After trying them? I. Want. More. I absolutely loved them. I am really lemming the other two colors from this collection, but I'm trying to be good! Let's take a look at Faithful now so I don't go shop!<br />

I decided to wear this with some glitter because I was super excited that my test bottle of brown glitters was doing well after a couple weeks. I crammed some in a little suspension base and had this.<br />

Here's Faithful on its own. This polish is a beautiful dark copper shimmer that looks very warm and creamy. It only took two very even and easy coats to become opaque. The formula was just excellent. I love this color against my skin tone too. <br />

I debated adding bar glitter to the bottle, but decided to try it without it first. I've been having a love/hate relationship with bar glitter lately. I like the way it looks, but getting it to lay perfectly flat? Impossible! A corner will poke up and no amount of top coat will hold it down! So I didn't add bar glitter to this until after I tried it. <br />

<br />
It's a nice rich color of brown glitter and I think it complements Faithful well. It looks dark most of the time but then it will flash a golden orange. It's super pretty!<br />

Lucky Duck has kind of been in the back of my stash lately, but when I was doing swatches, I picked it up and knew I had to feature it. It's a great green, one of my favorite colors when it comes to polish.<br />

I really love this color for its formula as well. Orly polishes wear like iron on me and last a long time, but they can be hit or miss for ease of application. Lucky Duck is a hit! It's smooth, creamy and not too thick or thin. These photos show two easy coats with no top coat. It naturally has a great shine to it!<br />

And here's a wider shot of my bottle, so you can see what my monster dog did when he got a hold of this duck! The hubby and I ran out to make a fifteen minute dinner run one night and my case happened to be left open... Well, Mr. Havoc pulled out several bottles and started chewing on the caps! Lucky Duck got the worst treatment, but he didn't get any of them open thankfully. That was the first and last time my case was ever left open!<br />

I decided to give this a little interest because I wore it for a day. On top, I layered one quick coat of a glitter mix. It's the Pretty in Pastel mix from <a href="http://www.shopyoumix.com/" target="_blank">You Mix Cosmetics</a> in a little suspension base. I picked up a few samples of their matte blends just for myself and made some quick and easy top coats.<br />

Mare of the Moon is a gorgeous blurple shimmer accented with holographic glitter, the most interesting and unique shape being a crescent moon! It is inspired by Princess Luna, after all!<br />

This polish wanted to photograph very, very purple compared to how it looked on my nails. I actually wore it to go see Moonrise Kingdom and was staring adoringly at it in the car for a long time. I think my very blue experience was due to living in a place without sunlight because the purple came out fine under my lamp!<br />

These pictures show two even coats with one coat of top coat, which was enough to smooth it to the touch! The formula was once again great with no glitter fishing. I did kind of feel that the moons from my first coat were getting covered up, so next time (when I wear this in a place with sun!) I will probably try not to place them until the second coat! <br />

I've been taking a break from selling Lacquer Convention since last week. I had some things both good and bad that kept me busy, the good being that I was a bridesmaid for two of my good friends in their wedding over the weekend. I was actually playing cake designer and manicurist to the bride too! I sadly did not actually get pictures of the bride's nails because of all the excitement, but I will recreate the art she picked for you. I did take pictures of my nails for the event and I'm going to show them to you today!<br />

Here's a glamour shot! I actually was planning to wear a sheer pink with coral jelly polka dots and I had been planning it because it would have been a fun but not too bright bit of color against my royal blue dress. However, I sat down to play with some new glitters before doing the mani and mixed the glitter test bottle in this photo... and kind of fell in love. I bought the chocolate brown glitter in the first place because I personally wanted a brown glitter like no one's business, so no surprise that I liked this franken. I decided to swatch it so my BFF could give me some name ideas and she told me to layer it over Designer De Better from the OPI Muppet Collection... which I don't own...<br />

I don't know why I don't own it. I borrowed it from her last December and I loved it. I Googled swatches and kicked myself for not buying it. So I decided to try to franken something close. I had some recently cleaned out (from failed curling glitter tests, booooo!) mini bottles, so I only made a small amount... I may have to make a full size some day! (Or search for a bottle of Designer De Better!)<br />

And of course I didn't measure or keep track of my ratios here, so I will have to experiment again. At least I wrote down what I used in it, if not how much of each polish and pigment!<br />

I just happened to be super lucky that this glitter blend turned out so pretty. It definitely started as a brown and evolved to include various sizes of copper, orange, gold and burgundy glitters.<br />

My BFF's verdict for a name? Polka Dots and Moonbeams! I really dig it. At first I thought that would be better suited for something more bright and girly, but as I thought about it, I really, really, liked it! The song isn't really cutesy like that, it's more warm and rich and dreamy. So there you go! Here's the version of the song by Sarah Vaughan!<br />

This was just a test bottle for myself. I would like to offer it in my store at some point, but I have been testing the brown glitter for any solvency issues. It's been sitting in some base by itself for a while, but I just couldn't wait to play with it any longer! <br />

It's been a while since I've done a pink Wednesday mani post on the blog, so it worked out perfectly that I still needed to show you my Pinkie Promise pictures! <br />

This is my favorite polish from the Rainbow Honey Equestria collection, partially because it is inspired by my favorite pony ever, Pinkie Pie!<br />

While I was snapping pictures, my hubby handed me the souvenir he picked up from a Vegas road trip with his dad a couple weeks ago. I took a couple pictures with it to show you just what a <i>girl </i>I am. I love pink! And Hello Kitty... and My Little Pony and pretty things... My husband always tells me, "You're such a <i>girl.</i>" I don't mind. I like what I like!<br />

However, I am actually shy of pink nail polish unless it is a more bold, bright or neon color. And even then, I have trouble liking a lot of shades on me. I think it's my color weakness, I don't love just any pink on my nails!<br />

Pinkie Promise, however, is a definite winner though. For these photos, I used three thin coats with no underwear. There is a tad of visible nail line in the photos, but it didn't show up in real life. It had great coverage and the formula was even and easy to work with. I really enjoyed it this way, but I am dying to wear it over a bright and fun pink some time! Or a gradient from the cuticle! (But I PROMISED that I wouldn't do that with the rest of these pony polishes, lol!)<br />

We're almost to the end of the Equestria collection, but I have the two secret polishes to show you still, Celestia and Mare Of the Moon! They're coming up tomorrow! <br />

I've been doing a lot for my store lately and it occurred to me that I actually haven't worn my polishes a whole lot lately. I mean, I have so many things that have gone untried, I get caught up in doing manis with those, but the reason why I started frankening was because I liked to make things that I liked to wear! Today, I'm showing you a bright and fun mani that I wore using two polishes that are normally available in my shop. It's on vacation at the moment, but both polishes will be available again soon!<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Red Light District is a bright, in your face red with a fine golden shimmer that gives it a very orange tone. For this manicure, I used three coats of it as a base and then topped it with Sour Patch Kids, a glitter polish inspired by my BFF's favorite candy. The red and the orange glitter got a little bit lost in the pictures, but they contrasted a little more in real life. Let's take a look, shall we?</span><br />

The other day, we finally got some sun here and I was super excited to try one of the latest bottles of polish I bought, OPI's DS Extravagance. <br />
<br />
I admittedly have very little to say about this polish because it is so gorgeous that I just want to stare at these pictures of it! It's another one of my longtime lemmings that I would pass up on for something else, but I blame that entirely on almost never having sunlight around here. The beauty of its scattered holo leaps out in the sun, which is definitely a reason to be super excited to be going to California this summer! I am definitely busting out the holo top coat soon!<br />
<br />
But enough about me, let me spam you a TON of pictures of DS Extravagance. Enjoy!<br />

I've been completely swamped with things since Saturday, but I'm determined to finish showing you this Rainbow Honey collection this week! On Friday I've got a wedding rehearsal and Saturday is the wedding itself of two good friends of mine. I'll be showing you my manicures for both days soon! In the meantime, let's take a peak at A Little Kindness.<br />

For this mani, I decided to layer A Little Kindness over Zoya Skylar. This polish is inspired by Fluttershy, who happens to be my husband's favorite pony ever. I mean, he's totally wrong, Pinkie Pie is cooler, but Fluttershy is adorable too. In any case, this polish is also my second favorite in the collection, right after Pinkie Promise, which I am <i>so </i>wearing tonight when I get home!<br />

These photos show one coat of A Little Kindness. In other swatches, I've seen several coats look pretty opaque on its own, but I really wanted to see the pink shimmer in the base contrast with something underneath it. I think Skylar ended up being a little pale though because while the gold and pink hexes stand out, the very soft white ones don't. You can kind of see them here and there though.</div>

All in all, this is some seriously beautiful glitter. It's got a real depth to it that I love with the assortment of shades in it. The formula is awesome to work with yet again, easy to get a good helping of glitter on each nail!<br />

It's been a busy couple of days here spent packing Lacquer Convention orders, but as of this evening everything has been filled. The last packages are heading to the post office in the morning! I managed to find about twenty minutes to paint my nails and snap some pictures, so I decided to toss this fun combo on!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDx8_6f4UA65wAqx_8c1GTdxEo3GtFVg8Rl9G1P1NrJdM0Vg6utRHdnVcV6s3am2oKX9KDMXATOB735fZlFWAETIO9jXKhfqBozZaVZuMLFwnqgRs7DqMYqRfL2MzqehkzE0zozb3rU3U/s1600/Jo'mina01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDx8_6f4UA65wAqx_8c1GTdxEo3GtFVg8Rl9G1P1NrJdM0Vg6utRHdnVcV6s3am2oKX9KDMXATOB735fZlFWAETIO9jXKhfqBozZaVZuMLFwnqgRs7DqMYqRfL2MzqehkzE0zozb3rU3U/s400/Jo'mina01.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>
<br />
Firstly, let's marvel at Jo'mina. This is a vibrant light purple creme by Illamasqua that I didn't know if I would love because of my fear of lighter purples that head into lavender and lilac territory... But Jo'mina is just so bright and fabulous. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I'm really kicking myself for not trying Illamasqua's polishes before this. After Baptiste, I was completely blown away, and Jo'mina is just amazing as well. These photos show two coats with no top coat. The formula is smooth and dreamy, though I did have to make sure I wiped off the stem of the brush or I had a little problem with running. It isn't anything super terrible though. Totally worth it!<br />

Yeah, I'm obsessed with this polish now... Soooo baaaad! I never thought I would be so happy there <i>isn't </i>a Sephora nearby to go shop at! <br />

<br />
Here's a little The Element of Magic tossed on top. You guys are probably thinking, "Gosh, not another glitter along the cuticle look!" I know, I know, but it's pretty much my go-to look when I am in a hurry and need something fun. It does the job! And I promise it's the last one for a while! I will be more inventive with the rest of the Equestria collection!<br />

<br />
The Element of Magic, inspired by Twilight Sparkle herself, is a gorgeous glitter polish. The shimmer is utterly fantastic this time. That's my favorite thing about this collection, how the bases have such a beautiful shimmer in them. This polish is just like the others, dense and easy to apply. No fishing for glitter, no special placement, just swipe, swipe, aaaand you have knockout pony nails. Seriously, I love ponies. Especially like this!<br />

And now I've gotta go to bed! Too tired to chat more. I've got time in the morning to do some nail art, so I'm going to put together a special post before I disappear for the rest of the weekend! <br />

Yesterday, I was putting together preview swatches for a Laquer Convention collection and looking at what I chose to swatch colors over when I decided that I wanted to do a series on my top polish picks. It's kind of funny, I usually get so swept up in doing manicures with new polishes that I haven't featured a lot of these on the blog. A lot of them are also actually pretty plain or more accurately, what I consider essential collection colors. <br />
<br />
This series is also going to be very helpful because I have a big chore coming up: My husband's job sometimes requires that he travel and soon we are heading to California until next year! It's a long trip this time, but I'm definitely looking forward to it because it's where my friends and family all live. I love being close to them again, but this year I have a, uh, problem. Traveling with my entire stash isn't possible! I have a large OPI travel case that I am going to completely fill with just polish, but I have to narrow it down to what really must come with me!<br />
<br />
It's so hard! Hopefully, going through my favorites will help me decide what to bring!<br />

For this post, I'm starting with one of my early polishes, Sally Hansen's Red Zin from the Complete Salon Manicure line. Red isn't something that I wear very often, even though I do have have a helmer drawer full of it... I even have a couple dupes for this particular red, because it's my favorite shade of it. I have tried to love bright red, but it just doesn't do it for me the way that a deeper, vampy red does.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another thing that I love about Red Zin is the formula and brush combo. I didn't snap a picture of the brush for you unfortunately, but it is a wide, flat brush with curved sides. It isn't for everyone, but it is for me! It's a high quality version of this shape too and the polish applies perfectly smooth with it. I can generally paint my nails in two swipes with it (one careful swipe on my pinky!) and get a pretty clean, rounded edge.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This color also wears spectacularly on me. The Complete Salon Manicure commercials always claim that these polishes can be worn on their own, without base or top coat, but I have never tried it. Instead, I top it with SV. These pictures are pre-top coat because I was layering glitter over this. It took me two coats to get this look.</div>

And like I mentioned, I do have a few dupes or very near dupes of this shade, so it's not super special, but it is nonetheless my favorite shade of red. It's fairly easy to find something similar. I love it because on the off chance I do want to wear red, I have my perfect color.</div>

I'm going to try to power through a few posts today because I have a lot planned and I want to just show you <i>everything. </i>Let's get a move on it! It's almost lunch time and I'm hungry!<br />
<br />
Continuing on with swatches from the Equestria Collection, today I have 20% Cooler to show you, a really striking rainbow glitter polish with a beautiful blue shimmer!<br />

When I ordered the collection, I did debate whether or not I <i>should </i>order everything. Low-buy and all, I was thinking about being practical... (This is where you laugh at me for being practical!) But I wasn't. I ordered everything. And I am very glad I did because hello, mystery polishes, aren't you gorgeous today? But in any case, I wasn't going to order 20% Cooler if I was going to skip on anything (Hoof Wrassle was the other one I also considered skipping but I am so so glad I didn't!). It's a rainbow hex glitter, which is a fairly common type of polish, but it's a rainbow hex glitter that is <i>right </i>up my alley.</div>

What do I love about it? Density and vibrancy! This polish is packed with glitter, which I appreciate because I like to do thin coats but not feel like I hardly got any glitter on my nail. Alternately, I could probably build this baby up quickly if I wanted a very dense look on my nail. These photos show one coat over two different blues, because I wanted to be all Rainbow Dash-y. I was taking the photos with this light blue when I literally smudged every nail on the side of my light box! I had to repaint and try again! The light blue is Julep's Jessica, a creme with no shimmer itself, which made it easy to see the shimmer that's in 20% Cooler!</div>

Here's the second set of pictures, one coat of 20% Cooler over Zoya Jo. It's such a fun polish, I really dig it! It's probably going to replace my other rainbow glitter that I always grab, Rainbow Connection, in my special travel case, ha ha. </div>

I had so much I wanted to get through today and most of it got interrupted! I have been trying to shoot pictures for this post for hours. I would get a phone call! Or a text! And my camera flat out refused to focus properly on the glitter. I finally got some shots that I have deemed acceptable, so let's get to it before I get another call!<br />

Today's My Little Pony polish is The Worst Possible Thing, inspired by Rarity herself. She is my second favorite pony, probably because she likes pretty, shiny things and well, my biggest obsession is with pretty, shiny polish! This polish? Fits the bill EXACTLY. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Let's take a quick peek at what I layered it over, Illamasqua's Baptiste. I took way too long to acquire this polish. I must have looked at pictures of this a thousand times, but I always hesitated. I always told myself, next month, next time! It helped that I don't live near a Sephora and the nearest ones didn't actually carry Illamasqua polish. I was able to delude myself into thinking I was okay without it... but I was wrong. I needed Baptiste. It's so striking and gorgeous! I could stare at it all day. Not kidding! I love this photo because I could capture the red in it. Light reflects so beautifully off of it. It's love. No question!</div>

Baptiste came in the mail today, a day earlier than UPS said they were bringing it to me, and I knew when I first laid eyes on it that it would look fabulous with The Worst Possible Thing. This gorgeous, iridescent polish is a mix of glitter and flakies that constantly shift and sparkle in the light. It looks like jewelry, but to me, better than jewelry! <br />
<br />

<br />
I couldn't stand covering up Baptiste completely, so I opted for a bit of a gradient at the cuticle with an accent nail. On my ring finger, that's one coat of The Worst Possible Thing. It's very nicely dense and easy to work with, like Hoof Wrassle was. <br />

I mentioned it in a comment, but every time I put on a polish from this collection, it gets further cemented: this is my favorite full collection ever. And you know, even if I am biased because I love My Little Pony, they are <i>fabulous</i> polishes. I think what works so well with this collection is that they really are varied in color but call back to each other. It's such a sweet quality that is all found in the ponies they're inspired by! Aside from being shiny and pretty, they have an amazing variety with cohesion!<br />
<br />
Have you had enough gushing? Because this is only my second post on this collection and I can promise it's going to continue!<br />

It's been a while since I've had a blog post for you guys! Life has been quite busy here, but I miss blogging everyday, so I'm promising myself that I'm going to keep up better with the blog again! Today, I got an AWESOME package in the mail, filled with absolutely gorgeous polishes. Let's take a look at these, shall we?<br />

First of all, ADORABLE packaging. I love polishes that come in boxes like these! I have been anxiously waiting for this collection since I first saw the previews on Facebook. I IMMEDIATELY pre-ordered it, even though I was (and now still am!) on a low-buy. It's impossible for me to go on a complete no-buy lately, so I've cut out a lot of the casual, "Oh shiny!" buying that starts to add up when I randomly am out shopping for things besides polish! In any case, I would have broken a complete no-buy for these babies. </div>

And these are the two secret polishes that I got for pre-ordering the whole collection! I'm not going to show them to you today, because Rainbow Honey is in the process of revealing them herself and I don't want to completely ruin her fun! This is essentially me teasing you all, sorry!</div>

Today, I will show you Hoof Wrassle though. It was almost <i>impossible </i>to pick which color to try first. I swatched them all first on my swatch sticks and instead of making the decision easier, it made it worse! So I mixed them all around, closed my eyes and randomly picked one. It worked out =)<br />

As a side note, it was really hard to capture the color accurately of this polish. My fingers look all sorts of weird colors here! I didn't layer it this time because it looked like two coats would get me a completely opaque look, which it did, but it looks a lot less bright like this in real life. It photographed very vibrant and bright, so I toned it down in PS in all but the last picture. I think layering it over a bright orange or a yellow would get the brighter color.</div>

These photos show two coats with one of top coat. It's still a little textured, so I will slap another layer on later. The formula on this one was great! It applied smoothly and the glitter was really easy to work with, no fishing or re-positioning!</div>

One of the reasons I was so excited about this collection is that I'm a big My Little Pony fan. I love Friendship is Magic--and so does my husband! Yep, I'm married to a brony. His BFFs are the ones who converted him though, so they are ALL bronies and have their favorite ponies. One of them loves Applejack, so I sent him a picture and he lamented that there were no apples! Picky, picky--though apple shaped glitter polish, can you <i>imagine? </i>I added some apples for him anyway.<br />

This is how bright the polish photographs and looks in the bottle. I do like it better this way, so next time I'll definitely layer it to try to get a more brilliant look!<br />
<br />
So now comes the hard question: Which one should I wear next??

I've finished bottling for my sale tomorrow, but whenever I'm mixing polish, I absolutely never miss the chance ruin whatever mani I am wearing. I always get something--a splash, a drop, a few flecks of glitter--on a few of my nails. I guess I'm just messy like that. For that reason, I've just been wearing some plain (though never boring!) colors, which I have splattered on for the last few days, but today I only had a few bottles to finish and I managed to not get anything on my mani! It's really exciting, because now I have something aside from Lacquer Convention swatches to show you =)<br />

Last night, I asked both the BFF and my hubby to choose between an eye-searing hot pink mani and a dark, vampy red one, and neither of them were at all helpful or committal, so I had to choose myself! Can you believe it? I eventually went with vampy, so I decided to put on Sinful Colors Rich in Heart, because I seem to have misplaced my OPI Midnight in Moscow and didn't want to go digging. Well, because I figured I'd be spilling on it, I didn't bother to wrap my tips and SV shrank it to death...</div>

...but what should show up in the mail today but my bottle of OPI's Number One Nemesis! It's the only thing from the Spiderman Collection that I want. Well, the only thing I can really justify wanting, because I want the white...and maybe the blue, but after doing swatch sticks last week, I just can't justify buying them. I'm <i>trying </i>to stay on a low-buy until July (when I go to LA!) so I can go shooooooppppping!</div>

In any case, I decided it would be the perfect thing to cover up the awful shrinkage after I totally didn't spill anything on my mani today. I love this shade, which is supposedly a pretty decent Chanel Graphite dupe. I don't have the Chanel to compare...yet. (Lowbuylowbuylowbuy!!!) It's one of those polishes that I secretly want, but talk myself out of splurging on every time because, well, I do <i>try </i>to control my spending...</div>

Don't Over Blue It is packed with multi-size, shape and shades of blue glitter, from dark navy to light aqua, with an accent of purple hexagons. It makes a great top coat, but for the sake of experimentation, for some of the pictures below, I dabbed it on and tried to create an opaque coverage look. <br />

It took me a little while to finish putting together the preview for Snap, Crackle, Pop! and Don't Over Blue It because I wanted to play with them! I hadn't gotten a chance to do more than test them, so I spent some time unwinding after bottling all day by coming up with a few cute ways to wear them. I'm going to save Don't Over Blue It picture editing for tomorrow because I'm feeling rather beat, but here's Snap, Crackle, Pop!<br />

Here's a macro of the bottle. This polish is a fairly dense glitter that can be applied in a thin coat as a top coat or built up for full coverage. It's made up of purple hexagons in various shades and sizes, predominantly dark purple, white squares in large and small sizes and fine holographic purple glitter. Enjoy the spam!</div>
