Haulage

Some recent purchases. The OPIs were mainly purchased for the display art. I adore the Pirates franchise, okay?! They could make ten more movies and I'd watch them all happily. Slap that skull and cross-swords logo on anything and I'd feel obligates as a fan of the film series to purchase it. Even owning these I still feel the need to get the mini set, too. 

DAMN YOU, OPI.

OPI Pirates of the Caribbean collection.

Orly Meet Me Under the Mistletoe and Milani Gems (pink glitter version)

Rainbow glitter mani

Loooooved this mani. The glitters are all from the Color Club glitter collection that came out a few years back, except for the blue, which is Pure Ice Strapless, I believe. They're all layered over a coresponding cream shade... I don't even remember all the ones I used. Um. Ruby Deer by China Glaze (red), Pippa by Zoya (yellow), Starboard by China Glaze (green), the blue... that might be Calypso Blue (?) by Orly and then Grape Pop by China Glaze (purple).

I do wish I had a true yellow glitter, but the gold worked okay layered over Zoya's Pippa, I think.

March madness?

Purchases made in the month of March. I think I need a twelve step program.

Zoya Valerie

This is actually my second bottle of this shade. Not because I used up the first, but because I traded it. I wasn't impressed the first time around for some reason, but I gave it another go and actually really liked it this time. The gold shimmer in this didn't show up on the nail as prominently as I wanted the first time, which was why I let it go, but it totally showed up this time. The pictures don't capture it that great, but trust me, it was there.

Zoya Casey (?)

Zoya Casey is one of the polishes I picked out as one of my three free from the company's most recent promotion. I did my research, checked out swatch after swatch and comparison photos. Now that I've got my mitts on it, I adore it, and completely understand why it's so popular. What was unexpected, though, is the glitter in it.

I wish I could have gotten better pictures, but I was losing the daylight. Still, you can kind of make it out, no? It's the slightest, most subtle bit of glitter, but it's in there.

Is this formula generally like this for this color and I just missed it in other swatches/descriptions? Or is mine part of a weird batch? It doesn't really matter to me either way, because I LOVE it. Totally my next mani color.

As an aside, my nails look naked, but I'm wearing Zoya Bela in the pics. Going on day five with no chips!

That'll do, Zoya. That'll do.

First post!

What better way to get the ball rolling on this thing than to do a review of the damage I did this month?
