Friday Spam

Friday is finally here after a busy week and I feel wrung out. At least my nails were pretty! The weekend ahead will be filled with some relaxing time between errands and obligations and I am very happy about that. Here is some spam to end the week with:

Color Club Ho-Ho-Holly

Color Club Winter Affair

Elevation Polish Fairy Ice

Kiko #255 Violet Microglitter

Essence I Love Bad Boys

Layla Ceramic Space Cowboy
(layered over Revlon Streetwear Forest)

Once Upon a Polish Scuttle, Flounder, and Dragon Spit

Here is part two of my Once Upon a Polish polishes. Dragon Spit is my favorite of all the ones I purchased. Per Once Upon a Polish's Facebook page, she will have polish in stock until mid-Dec and then will close her shop, either temporarily or permanently. Dragon Spit is not in stock at the moment but if she does restock it, I would definitely recommend purchasing that one.

Once Upon a Polish Poison Apple, Arabian Nights, and Rapunzel

I have some Once Upon a Polish's line to show. I like the concept of her brand, using fairy tale inspirations for the colors and titles of the polishes. The polishes apply easily and though some may need layering like Poison Apple, the others just need two coats for coverage.

Monday Spam

After all the Thanksgiving holiday and Black Friday business, it's nice to get back to regularly scheduled life. I still have things I need to catch up on so in the meantime, here are some backlogged photos.

Lacquistry Leaf Piles Make Me Smile and Spiced Candy Apple Cider

Lacquistry polishes are always unique and complex and I am never quite able to give accurate descriptions for them. These two are from her Fall Y'all trio that I bought in late September. No layering needed, I used two coats with Leaf Piles Make Me Smile and three coats with Spice Candy Apple Cider.

These are not available any longer in Lacquistry's Etsy shop but she will be releasing her Winter/Holiday 2012 polishes soon.
