Jeweled Drops

Hi Lovelies!

I haven't been feeling well lately and have as a result given myself permission to royally slack off. As I further procrastinate cleaning the house, I finally took the time to sort through the remaining photos from my nail art experiments with the Glam Polish Gobblefunk Shimmers. I've shown you two other manicures featuring the five shades glamorous shades of the collection here and here. For this manicure, I combined them with some gold stamping...

Glam Polish Dry Marble

Hi Lovelies!

It is always fun to play around with new techniques and I think I found one that I will likely be using again and again. I tried and failed water marbling with the gorgeous Glam Polish Gobblefunk Shimmers, likely due to my lack of skills in that particular area since other bloggers seem to have had success with them. Instead, I decided to skip the watery mess and try a drip marble. I have seen all sorts of gorgeous manicures created with this technique around the web and finally got to enjoy it for myself...

Glam Polish Gobblefunk Shimmery Water Spotting

Hi Lovelies!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend! I've got a manicure to share with you that features the soon to be releasing Glam Polish Gobblefunk Shimmers. The shimmers, while can be worn alone with just a couple of coats are also said to be great for nail art, so I couldn't wait to try them out as such. With a few ideas rolling around in my head, I decided to attempt the water spotting technique first. I use the technique so rarely since I always end up making a huge mess, but I think in this case it was well worth it...

Red Velvet Damask

Hello Lovelies!

I'm back with one more post featuring a lacquer from the Glam Polish Coven collection. It was largely inspired by this manicure created by Debbie of @ladyandthe_stamp on Instagram. She mattified one of the beautiful Coven shades and I instantly knew I wanted to try to do that as well. To be honest, I would not have even thought to mattify these shades since the flakies loose all their holo goodness, but the gorgeous velvet look and feel really made up for it.

Jewel Tones

Hi Lacquer Lovers!

Today I've got another manicure to show you with a few of the Glam Polish beauties from the Coven collection which will be released tomorrow! The three of them, red to plum to purple, made such a lovely gradient that I felt the need to combine them in a manicure. I finally even found the time to play around with making decals. Although making ten of them was more time consuming than I remembered, it was definitely worth it in the end...

Coming Up Roses

Hi Lovelies!

I've got a new manicure to share with you that I'm really excited about. To be honest I didn't expect to love it as much as I do, but I ended up  not wanting to take this one off. It turned out so classy and elegant. The purple and gold combination always seems to do it for me. With the addition of the roses it once again reminds me of some beautiful fine china. Maybe that's a sign that I need to invest in some? On second though, I'll leave that to those who throw fancy dinner parties. I'll just enjoy it on my nails...

Zelena Slime

Hello Everyone!

Today I've got a drippy, slimy manicure to share with you. Inspired by the green Glam Polish shade which is part of the upcoming COVEN collection based on our favorite TV and film witches. Slime just seems to fit the witchy theme, does it not? I had a lot of fun with this manicure and it would be perfect for Halloween. Can't believe that it's almost around the corner again. It will sneak up on us before we know it...

Can't Help Falling in Love with Suspicious Minds

Hi Everyone!

I'm so excited to finally find some time to show you this manicure. It has been taunting me for far too long, just waiting for me to edit the photos. The manicure is another one of my "lets see what happens if I just keep adding to it" creations. I intended to add just a little gold stamping over a purple base and somehow it lead to this...

Silver Lining

Hi there fellow polish addicts!

Today I would like to show you a manicure that I created with another Glam Polish shade which will be releasing today. The pretty blue had me thinking nautical thoughts all week, but as soon as I got it on my nails the skies seemed to beckon. Certainly not a sky blue, but it still made such a pretty backdrop for a few clouds...

Up in Flames!

Good Morning Lovelies!

I feel as though it's been ages since I've done something "edgier" on my nails, but with Glam Polish lacquer names such as Devil in Disguise and Burning Love, I truly could not resist the temptation of having flames at my fingertips...

Glam Polish Burning Love with UberChic stamping

Hi Lovelies!

I'm sorry that I've been MIA for a while. Between work, family visiting from out of town and having to re-landscape our yard to appease my home owner's association, I have not had time to sit down and create a proper manicure. Luckily I got some gorgeous soon to be released Glam Polish beauties in the mail that forced me, in the best way possible, to finally make time.

I didn't have anything specific in mind when I started the manicure, but I've been wanting to play around with my new UberChic stamping plates and this swirly image drew my eye...

Glam Polish Enchanted Forest plus Nicole Diary Decals

Hi Lovelies!

Time flies when you're having fun, although in my case is it just quietly and quickly slipping away while I work nights and I'm once again late with my post. Heh! I had hoped to show you this manicure a few days ago, in time for it's July 1st launch, but obviously that didn't go as planned. So here I am hoping that better late than never...

Forever After Floral

Hello Hello!

Today I have another manicure with a few of the soon to be released Glam Polish beauties. I've been dreaming of doing a floral such as this for a while and these polishes lent themselves perfectly to the task. So bright and fun with just the right amount of sparkle...

Glam Polish Love Always Finds a Way

Hi Lovelies!

Today I would like to show you a manicure inspired by a crystal pineapple necklace which I brought home as a souvenir from my trip to Hawaii last year. The color matched so well that I thought it would be fun to take it one step further in the matchy-matchy department...

More Love, Less Hate!

Hi Everyone!

I have decided to join a bunch of sweet and talented ladies in the Facebook group Rainbow Pride Nails for Orlando and show my support for Orlando after the terrible tragedy of last weekend. It was such a devastating and senseless attack that affected far too many innocent people and I am left at a loss for words as I struggle to comprehend how anyone can commit such a horrific act of violence. My heart breaks for all the lives lost and for the loved ones left to carry on. It is heartwarming to see people from all over the world join in support and I'm glad to show my support today as well...

Psychedelic Stamping

Hi Lovelies!

How is your week starting out? I didn't get as much done this weekend as I had hoped, but I can't say that I'm sorry for taking some time to just be lazy and relax. However since I was so lazy, today I would like to share with you another manicure out of the archives. I'm having so much fun going through old photos and remembering the manis. I created this manicure while playing around with the Glam Polish Hairspray collection in early 2015. It was one of my favorite collections and looking back at the manis I created with it makes me want to play all over again...

Timeless Pairing.

Hi Lovelies!

I have had a rough night at work and I can think of nothing better to take my mind off of it than to sit down and write an early morning post. The manicure I'm showing today is another one from the archives that has been patiently waiting for it's moment in the spotlight. Created with two gorgeous shades from the Glam Polish Hairspray collection which was released back in January of 2015. I absolutely adored that collection. Each lacquer more beautiful than the next, but these two in particular begged to be paired up in a manicure...

Tulips!

Hello Lovelies!

Today is a mani right out of the unposted archives. I have been digging and sorting and there is quite a bit to share with you, but eventually, as time permits I'll get it all posted. Hopefully I'm not making anyone dizzy with my seemingly constant changing of nail length and shape. I assure you it is all just a time warp illusion ;)

I created this manicure about a year ago while playing around with the a few Glam Polish beauties and B.Loves Plates stamping plates...

Delicate Stamping

Hi Everyone! Happy Friday! Today I would like to show you a manicure that I wore for a solid week after swatching the Glam Polish beauties which I posted about earlier this week. If the manicure hadn't started growing out and driving me nuts, I would have happily continued to wear it. It is rather 'simple' as far as some of my manicures go, but somehow it didn't seem to call for added embellishments. Sweet and delicate was just what I needed...

Review and Swatches of Select Glam Polish Cast A Spell Part 3: The White Witch Collection Shades

Hi Everyone! Remember me? It has been nearly two months since I last sat down to write a post. First, let me start out by apologizing for my sudden disappearance. Someone very close to me passed away leaving me feeling empty and wanting to spend time surrounded by family and friends. Something as simple as cuddling on the couch with my bf to watch TV suddenly became a bigger priority than making one more swatch or writing one more post. I realized just how much time I had been sacrificing for this hobby instead of making time for people in my life. I couldn't even bring myself to go into my polish room and simply paint my nails. They were 'naked' for more than a month and believe it or not, that somehow feels like an accomplishment. Each day I kept telling myself that tomorrow I would get back to swatching/blogging, but the days came and went and my nails remained bare. I finally started going back into the polish room a few weeks ago, first to file/reshape and recondition by then broken and dry nails. Then I would go in, look at some gorgeous polish and walk out. The next day I went just to look through the stamping plates. Baby steps! Finally I had the guts to not only polish, but also photograph my shaky hand. Today I sit here writing this post and trying to decide if I've said too much, but hoping it will explain my disappearance. Does this mean I'm back to full time blogging? No, and I don't think I ever will be, but hopefully some blogging is better than none!

To say that this review is overdue is quite an understatement. The beautiful Glam Polish Cast a Spell Part 3: The White Witch collection launched in early March with perfect glittery pastel shades. Rachel, the mastermind behind Glam Polish, has been incredibly understanding about the delay although my feeling of guilt remain. Hopefully you will also forgive the delay and enjoy these swatches as much as I've been enjoying wearing these lacquers and making them my foray back into the world of polish...
