If you’re on the fence about textured polishes, like I was, try Zoya’s PixieDust in Destiny. STUNNING doesn’t even begin to described it’s gorgeousness. It’s a goooooooooorgeous coral pink in the sun, and a fabulous coral orange under indoor lighting. Two shades for the price of one. DONE. Plus, it has gooooooooooooorgeous gold flecks throughout it. DOUBLE DONE. It’s stunning with and without top coat. If you top coat it, it glows. My camera went nuts trying to capture it. Buy it. Now.
If you go to Ulta, don’t forget to print off their current coupon to get 20% off one item, aka this bottle of polish will only be $6.40. *wink wink**nudge nudge*

While I ADORE my base of Sunday Funday and Snowflakes, I couldn’t leave it alone for long. After two days of wear I had to splatter a rainbow all over it. The flakies still shine through the splatter gaps. UGH.

The warmer the weather, the more I want to water marble. It’s a pain in the butt to water marble when it’s cold outside, because my room is always cold and water marbling doesn’t work in cold rooms.

Nothing like busting out some Connemara marble for St. Patrick’s day!
Connemara marble is so beautiful that I couldn’t not recreate it on my nails. I used pieces of scrunched up plastic wrap to marble the greens for my base. LOVE. I added the shamrock moons to make it a bit more adorable.
Fun Fact- When the fam was in Dublin this past summer, we stubbled upon Stephen Walsh’s Connemara Marble shop. Too bad he was in CANADA and my mom wasn’t able to meet him.
Colors Used:
Sinful Colors- Adventure Island, Seaweed, Leap Flog, Beau Khaki
Orly- Too Fab
Hallelu for holos! Too bad the Portland weather doesn’t share the same excitement. (Damn you lack of sun!)
The one collection I’ve been dying to get my chubby grubby hands on, I managed to find at a nail salon for $5 a bottles. Thank Odin for unaware nail salons. I saved myself a good $6 a bottle when I hit that jackpot. Hit the read more for my mini review.

And my right hand for Emerald City ComicCon!
I really wish I had better control with my left hand when it comes to nail art. My poor Darth nails didn’t come out as well as my Pardee nails. I was hoping to paint his full face on my middle nail, but that just wasn’t happening….. at all. I didn’t hate them as much now then before I added in the highlighting and top coat. Still, they could have been better.
Colors Used:
OPI- Red Lights Ahead… Where?, Alpine Snow
China Glaze- Lemon Fizz, Happy Go Lucky, Desert Sun
Sinful Colors- Black On Black
Can you guess where I’m at today?!
Emerald City ComicCon if you couldn’t guess. I’m going with my Dad in place of my brother since he was a dumbass and ruined his chance of going. Sucks for him!
I’m SUPAH excited to meet Ray Park and Alex Pardee. Legit. I loooooooooooove me some Alex Pardee. His artwork is creepy awesome and “Goodnight Lava” is one of my favorite pieces he’s done. I’m hoping to be able to pick a print of it at his booth today.
Colors Used:
OPI- My Vampire Is Buff, Steady As She Rose, Red Lights Ahead… Where?, Alpine Snow
