It was pretty obvious I wasn’t overly impressed with the first Pixi polish I tried; Vivid Coral. So I wasn’t expected too much from Luminous Lilac, honestly. But! I was pleasantly surpris...
Nothing says the start of Summer like a little watermelon, right? For Memorial Day every year my family does a small cookout just to honor the two veterans in my immediate family. So I was trying to ...
When I did my Top 10 Polishes of 2011 post I surprised myself when it included a polish from Jesse’s Girl. That’s just not a brand that was really on my radar. But when I found out JulieG...

I’ve had this polish for almost 2 years and to be honest, when I got it, I didn’t expect it would be a polish I used often. But it is by far the most used polish in my collection. If you ...
Lights! Camera! Action! Bazooka? Yeah, I don’t get it. But, despite me being dense, or Essie just not making any sense, Bazooka is part of Essie’s Summer 2012 Lights, Camera, Action neon ...
Last night I was in the mood for something interesting- and as I went hrough my stash, Space Cadet practically jumped right into my hands. I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed it yet! Space...
I’m just going to say I have seriously mixed feelings about this nail polish. Katie sent Scandalous to me in her surprise May nail mail package. I was so excited to give it a try because I have...
Yes, another fashion trend is creeping into the nail world. I love the ombre trend. Not so much hair wise, but I do love it in clothes. So when I saw a tutorial for ombre nails over on The Beauty Dep...

Neon is a huge trend for this Spring and Summer. And I have decided to embrace it! Nail polish is always a great inexpensive and temporary way to incorporate trends into your style. But if you’...
Sometimes impulse purchases turn out really well. Some times impulse purchases turn out really bad. Unfortunately, this was an impulse purchase that turned out really bad. I picked up these nail wrap...
Yes. I am here with yet another coral polish. I understand I have issues. But coral is just so pretty! This particular coral is from Essie’s Summer 2012 Poppy-Razzi collection. I saw the displa...
The only thing I love more than France is French pastries. So yummy! I was lucky enough to recently find a bakery in Charlotte that has amazing macaroons. I posted about it over on The Daily Varnish ...
If you caught my mini-haul post over on The Daily Varnish Extra – you know one of the treats I grabbed last night at Ulta was OPI’s Just Spotted the Lizard. I’ll be completely hones...
So…..border nails have kind of become the new thing. Presumably it’s going to be big a big trend for summer so I wanted to give the look a try. One thing that is great about this trend is...
