The Painted Nail Purple-Pink Shimmer

Press Sample

I'll be up front and say I don't even think this polish is available right now. Sorry. I'm not even sure this line is even made anymore since I think The Painted Nail now exclusively sells gel. But it was in a press sample bag I received, therefore, I'm showing it to you. 

Crowstoes Her Goose Got Cooked over Pretty Serious Seasonal Sunset

Gilmore Girls Nail Art for the Ultimate Coffee Lover

Partial Press Sample

All right guys, let's get to some real talk. Gilmore Girls will be releasing their new season this Friday on Netflix. I have been a HUGE fan of the show, watching it from day 1 when it first aired on WB. I mourned its ending when the CW took over the channel, and had no idea what was good tv, deciding to end Gilmore Girls for reruns on America's Next Top Model (insert eye roll so hard you fall off your chair). I am so excited to see the original creator finally getting to end the show the way she wanted to. So I couldn't let this monumental event pass by without a coffee manicure ode to my favorite show!

Thanksgiving Nail Art: Hand Turkeys with Zoya Nail Polish

Press Sample

What's a Thanksgiving season without one turkey manicure? Instead of a realistic turkey, I went with hand turkeys! Remember as a kid, you used to outline your hand, stick feathers on each finger, and bring it home as a turkey drawing?! Well, I've done the same on my nails!

Thanksgiving Nail Art: Cirque Colors Autumn Holo Dots

I have certainly slacked on Thanksgiving nail art. Frankly, I can't believe it's next week. As a teacher, Thanksgiving is the end of the semester for me. So wow, time is going by quickly! I wanted to do some fun dots. I'm still hating my short nails and dots make everything better.

Bone China Nail Art with OPI

Partial Press Sample

So today is my parent's wedding anniversary! Last year, I did jade and coral nail art for their 35th anniversary so I decided to do art again for their anniversary this year! 36th anniversary is Bone China. I know what Bone China is, but google helped me to decide on a lacy neutral design. 36 years married is a wonderful accomplishment, so I'm always happy to celebrate with them!

Say hello to my new shorties. I had been patching a tear for months on one of my nails and my nails finally said NO MORE, START AFRESH. So I did. And then, I even further filed them in a frenzy after this post, so I hope you don't mind. It's only temporary but man, is it weird to feel my fingertips HAHA. I've been sharing some older swatches I held on to but now, it's my current nails. Ok, on to the polish!

Ittse The Nightfall Collection Palette: Swatches and Review

Press Sample

I have loved my ittse Royal Plumage Palette so much, I figured I would share the other palette I have, which is much more neutral. I do love playing with funky colors but on a daily basis, I reach for simpler palettes. This is a great option!

Anonymous Lacquer Swatch Spam!

It's the weekend and what better way to show you some gorgeous polishes from Anonymous Lacquer! I actually swatched these back in September (hence my tan) but my nails were short and then I fell behind and my nails were long.

Indie Spotlight: 6 Harts Mountain Nights

Gift?

Good evening! So a small group of ladies decided to do an Indie Spotlight each month! In the world of indies, there are so many that we sometimes miss out on ones who create small batches of polish. Well, 6 Harts is one of those and we are kicking off Indie Spotlight with the brand. Courtney is a pleasure to work with as a blogger and as a friend. In fact, one of the cuticle oils was made because I requested the scent! More on that in a bit. Check out the links at the end of the post to see more 6 Harts manicures!

Gumball Machine Nail Art

Partial Press Sample

 

I cannot believe it is November! Although I'm still rocking my Halloween owls that I shared with you yesterday, I want to share with you my updated Gumball machine nail art that I wore on Saturday. I re-wore my costume from last year mostly because I ran out of time to make the new one that I wanted to :(. But I wanted a different manicure from last year, so I updated my look!
