Cult Nails Charming and Feelin' Froggy + Dollish Polish The Hero of Time

Cult Nails released it's gorgeous Fairy Tale collection and of course I had to have it all so I went and pre-ordered it.

Wore Charming first, absolutely gorgeous! It is very sheer but totally worth it. Sorry about my super gross fingers. I was at work and am sooo bad about wearing gloves so my hands always need some TLC after.

And then I wore Feelin' Froggy and stayed deeply in love.

And then I put Dollish Polish The Hero of Time on as an accent. I ordered the Zelda Duo because well, Zelda, but I didn't really expect to love it. Oh how wrong I was, it's absolutely gorgeous! This is two coats.

A Little Cell Phone Pic Spam

I have better pics for some of these that will be posted later and some of them I just nabbed on the phone, oops.

a-England Princess Tears

Ok these may have been snapped at a stoplight whilst driving home from work because they were just holoing so well that I had to try and capture it. Good thing too since I totally spaced about taking pics later even though I was outside all freaking weekend and it was 85+ and sunny the entire time. I looooooove this polish. a-Englands are tops in my book and the Legends are just so stunning. Here, have another one.

a-England Order of the Garter

Put this lovely on right after I broke yet another nail (bringing the total up to 4) and decided I couldn't put off cutting them down any more. Obviously vampies are awesome with shorter nails but while I did want something dark, I wanted something bright too. I know, it's a contradiction but I think OotG navigated it perfectly. A deep rich glass fleck blue that's sooooo blue it practically glows. Even the bf who never ever notices my manis was like "wow that's some blue nails"

Cult Nails - Manipulative

Picked up this lovely from the $5 sale back in April. Such a pretty colour and an amazing formula. This polish lasted me 4 days! (Be proud, that's two manis in a month I wore for more than 3, the other being Princess Tears for 5, amaze)

Dollish Polish - GTL

Pretty and Polished - Galactus

Nail Junkie - Matte Violet

This lovely was part of Aleta's spring 2012 collection and is the first one I did a full mani with. One of these days there will be a proper post with all of them but for now I just have to say, love the colour, application was fabulous, wore for 3 days and could have gone for longer if it weren't for the polish ADD.

Cult Nails Swanbourne + Dollish Polish Toxic Avenger

When I saw the Cult Nails Nekkid Collection I knew, knew I had to have it so I pre-ordered like the naughty impulsive girl I am. I just can't pass up a ton of great nudes (and of course Toxic Seaweed looks fab too, but I'll be honest, it was the browns/nudes that got me to pull the trigger). Decided on Swanbourne for my Singles Awareness Day mani since we all know chocolate is what everyone loves about VDay anyway.


I know I saw someone say this applied thickly on them, but my bottle was wonderful. I love that gold shimmer that's in all the nudes/browns in the collection, it adds such great visual interest to an already stunning brown.



Then, because I'm me and can't leave well enough alone, I added some Dollish Polish Toxic Avenger on top. This is such a gorgeous multichrome with holo. I can't even handle the fabulousness of it. I love love love the geek names some of these indies are giving their NP. The whole reason I checked out Dollish Polish was because of Expecto Patronum (will swatch later), I mean I need all the Harry Potter nail polish ever! Gotta have something to go with the tattoo.

a-England Guinevere + Failed Nail Art

I am so so so shamefaced at how long it took me to order Guinevere. I mean I still have a few Mythicals left to order (and I will have ALL the a-Englands, I will!) so it wasn't the last but I just picked it up during Adina's anniversary sale. But it's so pretty and obviously purple that I definitely should have nabbed it sooner. Oh well better late than never.

Put this lovely on yesterday during work lol! So I work for a company that process food grade material so technically in the SOPs I'm not supposed to wear nail polish at all but since I work in the lab and don't actually handle final product and even if I did I'd be wearing gloves, no one cares that I've always got something going on on my nails. Sadly last week we had some corporate people in so I had to go nekkid for a few days. I knew they were leaving Friday morning so I definitely brought Guinevere and a top coat (Essie Good to Go this time, still not loving it. Might be time to try something new) and did my nails at lunch.



This morning I got bored and was catching up on my blog roll and saw a super cute color block mani and decided to try it out using a-England Elaine and Cult Nails Clairvoyant. Here's the thing...I'm like ridiculously impatient so after the first hand I just decided to free hand it like chevrons which so didn't work out especially when I went back and tried to transform the sloppy hearts into chevrons. Oh well, at least it's a pretty colour combo!




Sloppy sloppy sloppy, I really need some more practice and to get some brushes but well, I'm lazy.
