Well, hello there! It's been awhile. I haven't written a formal post in so long! I swear, I would get my nails all grown out, or moderately grown out and one or two or more would break. Winter is tough for a nail blogger, particularly winter in Minnesota.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instagram has been a favorite of mine lately. It's quick and easy and super straight forward. If you don't already, make sure you find me over there, @landof10kpolishes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I have three polishes from Elevation's Minneapolish collection. Of course, this would be a collection near and dear to my heart, considering it's a local theme. </div>

Isn't this just a perfect blue? I love everything about this color. The shade, the tone, the texture. It's a wonderful polish all around. It's somewhere between a jelly and a crelly, and I used three thin coats topped with Seche Vite for great coverage.</div>

That yeti, that beautiful red yeti. Here's a beautiful candy apple red holo that, in my opinion would look great on just about anybody. I used two coats, and topped it with Seche Vite.</div>

The Walker is most certainly the stunner of the Minneapolish collection. This color is a dazzling bright purple ultra-holographic polish. It is named after the Walker art center in Minneapolis.</div>

With the exception of the Red Yeti, all of the 5 remaining colors in the Minneapolish collection are available in the Elevation Polish online store NOW. Take it from me, you'll love the Walker. </div>

Well folks, are you ready for spring weather? I know I am! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The new collection titled "Spring Bouquet" by Model City Polish is just the breath of fresh air I was needing. It's a six polish collection, full of colorful, pastel crellys.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so impressed with how the colors are the perfect representation of their inspiration.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All six polishes have a nice, sheer formula, with flakes and a soft holo sparkle throughout. I used three coats of polish in all of my photos, with one coat of Seche Vite on top. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing to be said about all of these colors is that if I didn't wait a bit between coats, they tended to grab and make bald spots. Also, I feel like a topcoat is absolutely necessary to smooth them out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wanna see what they look like?</div>

Primrose is a very cool yellow that likes to look green on me. Primrose is a naughty little polish. She and I fought a bit, when it came time to photograph. This color has golden flakies and scattered holo throughout. My skintone is very pink, so it wouldn't be a personal first choice, but I got a lot of compliments on it when I wore it.</div>

Just to give you an idea of how warm my skintone is, someone commented on the "nude" polish I was wearing. I had to correct them and say that it is in fact, orange. Ha.</div>

Sometimes, you see a polish on someone and feel that you must have it, immediately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's what happened with today's color. Ashley, from Emerald and Ash posted this color on her blog's facebook page, and I knew I needed to have it. You can click [<a href="https://www.facebook.com/thestashemeraldash" target="_blank">here</a>] to see her lovely nails.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I definitely wasn't expecting this brand new color by Essie to be in a Walgreens I happened to be in yesterday. It was a right place, right time situation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's "Coat Couture" and it's part of the Cashmere Matte collection by Essie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Coat Couture is a purple leaning grey that has a lovely aqua shimmer throughout. It's not super matte. I'd call it more of a satin finish. A major bonus for me is that it dried super fast! I put on two coats over a base coat, bumped one on accident and was pleasantly surprised to see that it hadn't been smudged!</div>

Isn't it lovely? I don't normally go for matte polish, but this one and the others in this collection looked unique to me. I'm glad I was able to find it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Monday, have a great week!</div>

Guys. This winter is ridiculous. My hands are so dry, and so are my cuticles. Today's swatch, is mediocre at best...in my opinion. Please do pardon my wretched cuticles...I moisturize, I really do. The polish I have for you today is super lovely.<br />
<br />
It's "Tail Feather" by Picture Polish, and my friend Jenne at <a href="http://polishedpathology.com/" target="_blank">Polished Pathology</a> nabbed it for me. She knew I'd wanted it for a long time.<br />
<br />
I love the formula of this polish. It went on smooth and even. I am wearing three coats and one coat of Seche Vite.<br />
Isn't it beautiful and springy? Tail feather is a mint green crelly with little bits of rainbow micro flakes.<br />

I've got a quick Sunday SBP Swatch-eroonie for you today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was given this polish. It's called SBP MPLS. My dear friend Jenne at <a href="http://polishedpathology.com/" target="_blank">Polished Pathology</a> nabbed it for me on the July 22nd restock, which was my birthday. It's fitting because I'm from the MPLS area and the color is pretty dang awesome. I'm sorry, but this color isn't available any longer, but I still wanted to share it with you.</div>

SBP MPLS is a dove grey creme with gold shimmer and blue micro flakes and a lovely holo finish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It went on amazingly in two coats and with one coat of Seche Vite.</div>

Good evening! I'm writing you a Monday night post to show you my gradient mani I had on over the weekend. I think gradients are a fun and easy way to wear some eye-catching nail art!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colors I used in this manicure were all by Elevation polish. They are "Tre Crime de Lavaredo" "Sunset Among the Palms" and "Haleakala" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I put down "Tre Crime de Lavaredo" as my base, and then sponged on all three colors on top of that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it turned out really nice, don't you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On top of my gradient I used the Cheeky jumbo "Princess Charming" plate and the gold Sally Hansen color foils polish, they are my favorite for stamping.</div>

"Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me. Perhaps I've spent too long in the company of my literary romantic heroes, and consequently my ideals and expectations are far too high."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-E.L. James <i>Fifty Shades of Grey</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, the highly anticipated (for some) movie adaptation of the popular book will be hitting theaters soon. With that said, it's no surprise that there are tons of products out there that are marketing themselves around the movie's release.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was in a Cosmoprof store and saw that they had the new Fifty Shades OPI collection set up. For some reason, I felt like I needed to have them. There are six polishes, and I wasn't really prepared to get six OPI polishes today. That's where the boxed set of mini bottles comes in, for a really great price.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ready to see?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HFbzQqs4JjU/VKdTEu2GDYI/AAAAAAAAEkA/m_mtguTxMis/s1600/Photo%2BJan%2B02%2C%2B6%2B21%2B13%2BPM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HFbzQqs4JjU/VKdTEu2GDYI/AAAAAAAAEkA/m_mtguTxMis/s1600/Photo%2BJan%2B02%2C%2B6%2B21%2B13%2BPM.jpg" height="640" width="498" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first glance, it seems like a pretty unassuming collection. I mean, it's four variations of the color grey (of course) a red and a glitter. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the colors in this group of polishes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"My Silk Tie" is a silver metallic polish. It looks very similar to Push and Shove, from an earlier OPI collection. It's pretty, but metallic silver doesn't knock my socks off. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my pictures I have on 3 coats of "My Silk Tie" and one coat of Seche Vite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Dark Side of the Mood" is a dark grey that leans just a teeeeeeny bit blue and has a very soft silver shimmer that would absolutely not cooperate. This one definitely needs three coats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have on three coats of polish and one coat of Seche Vite in my pictures.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Romantically Involved</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-52qg-Ilyds0/VKdTE0jDlII/AAAAAAAAEkE/XEFzEOLJdwY/s1600/Photo%2BJan%2B02%2C%2B6%2B42%2B47%2BPM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-52qg-Ilyds0/VKdTE0jDlII/AAAAAAAAEkE/XEFzEOLJdwY/s1600/Photo%2BJan%2B02%2C%2B6%2B42%2B47%2BPM.jpg" height="584" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Romantically Involved" is, in my opinion a perfectly balanced red. It doesn't lean red violet, and it doesn't lean orange. It's just a tiny little bit too dark to be a primary red. It applied like a dream. I have on two coats of "Romantically Involved" and one coat of Seche Vite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Embrace the Gray" is a slightly blue leaning medium gray creme polish. I had a little bit of trouble with application on this one. I am thinking it could be because I was using a mini bottle, but it got a little streaky and didn't level out well on its own. Even after topcoat, I felt like it didn't get totally smooth.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shine for me is a clear based glitter polish filled with royal blue micro-glitter and lots of silver shimmer. I used it alone, but I think that this color would look great with tons of different colors as a topper. Application was great, I felt like all that tiny glitter spread out very easily.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Cement the Deal" is a light dove gray creme polish. Okay. This one. This polish was the troublemaker of the group. Like I said earlier, the problem could have been the brush or the mini bottle, but the way this polish applied left something to be desired. It wouldn't level out on its own. I also needed two coats of topcoat to get it to look like it does in my pictures. So, that makes three coats of polish and TWO coats of Seche Vite. Gloopy Gloop. I don't think that this color is redeeming enough to make up for its weird application.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, what do you think? All in all, the collection is pretty nice. There were a couple that I could take or leave, but I like the rest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorites? Romantically Involved and Dark Side of the Mood, for sure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will you be jumping on the Fifty Shades of Grey bandwagon too?</div>

The same hold true for these two, just like the last two I've showed you. I love the way they applied, and the color payoff is just excellent. When it comes to these flakies, I really think there's something for everyone. I think my personal favorite is Hellea. Check it out [<a href="http://landof10kpolishes.blogspot.com/2014/12/darling-diva-polish-hellea-h.html" target="_blank">here</a>].</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Darling Diva polish just released a set of multichrome flakie toppers on Friday, and I feel so fortunate to have them added to my collection! There are four polishes in various colors and are available in a holo or non-holo finish. The ones I was given are the holographic versions!</div>

Hello there friends! I hope this Christmas Eve-Eve finds you well. I have another gilded beauty from Alchemy Lacquers, and this time it's Christmassy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post is late because I've been running around getting ready for the holidays. Falling ill this past weekend hasn't helped either.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, without further ado...here's "Gilded Holly" by Alchemy Lacquers!</div>

Gilded Holly is "a green based, gold to silver shifting metallic nail lacquer with multi-sized red, green and hunter green metallic and holographic glitters"</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this unique twist on a holiday polish. It's festive, but still holds true to the "Gilded" style that is just so great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my pictures I have on 3 coats of Gilded Holly, one coat of Zoya Armor and one coat of Seche Vite.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This and all of the other Gilded polishes are available in one tidy package in the Alchemy Lacquers Etsy shop. You can get one of each gilded shade in a mini size. I can only speak for myself when I say that I want all of them and think one should own ALL of them. Now you can!</div>

Hello there! Last night's post was all about Hanukkah. Today, and probably the rest of the next week will be all about Christmas! I have lots of festive polishes in my collection, and these are a perfect new addition. I have the remaining 4 polishes from the Model City Polish Holiday collection for you today.</div>

Arctic sea is a lovely medium blue shimmer with a nice holographic finish. This color went on nice and easy in two thin coats.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Winter Wonderland is a clear glitter topper with silver holographic triangles, micro glitter, micro slices, snowflakes, blue dots and small blue hexes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used two coats of Winter Wonderland over Arctic Sea. The only remark I have about this polish is that the larger shapes don't lay super flat on the nail, so a thick topcoat like Gelous and/or Seche Vite is a must! I didn't feel like I had to fish around for the shapes, which was nice!</div>

Evergreen is a rich and shimmery green with lots of holographic micro glitter throughout. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my pictures I have on two coats of Evergreen and one coat of Seche Vite.<br />

I am always cautious about green polish. ALWAYS. I had a terrible staining episode last Christmas and have made it a point to stain test every green I get,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put this color on my right pinky with a base coat, two coats of color and one coat of topcoat. I am happy to report that after 24 hours of wear, there were no signs of staining! Hooray!</div>

Winterberry is a shimmering red jelly with micro holographic glitter throughout, very similar to Evergreen. Red Polish can be tough for me, but this one is just dark enough and not too orange for me. It's really a lovely shade of red.</div>

Well folks, it's the second evening of the festival of lights, Happy Hanukkah! Even if you don't celebrate this holiday, you can still enjoy the two fabulous polishes I have for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have two Hanukkah polishes by Alchemy Lacquers, and they are nothing short of amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They're both blue, and lovely...and you know how I love my blues!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up, I have "Gilded Dreidel".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ufXY5Pk-lPg/VJI3cPTam9I/AAAAAAAAEco/8am0B3Vh3Zc/s1600/20141215_144424.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ufXY5Pk-lPg/VJI3cPTam9I/AAAAAAAAEco/8am0B3Vh3Zc/s1600/20141215_144424.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't that the most magical macro of a polish, like, EVER???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love every single thing about this polish. Every flake, every speck of holographic and iridescent glitter in it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gilded Dreidel is a "Blue based, gold to silver shifting metallic nail lacquer with multi sized silver, blue and dark blue metallic and holographic glitters."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a metallic, blue dream.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my pictures I am wearing three thin coats of Gilded Dreidel and one coat of Seche Vite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a second, and equally awesome macro for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CbXj2ywbmtE/VJI3bTBfUjI/AAAAAAAAEcg/7TmaJO57XLU/s1600/20141215_144211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CbXj2ywbmtE/VJI3bTBfUjI/AAAAAAAAEcg/7TmaJO57XLU/s1600/20141215_144211.jpg" height="640" width="486" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I have Tekhelet, a blue glitter bomb in a bottle!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KC_aQsFsJgI/VJI3ao6CpRI/AAAAAAAAEcQ/NlQW-LIpEv8/s1600/20141214_172649.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KC_aQsFsJgI/VJI3ao6CpRI/AAAAAAAAEcQ/NlQW-LIpEv8/s1600/20141214_172649.jpg" height="470" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tekhelet is a "Blue, silver, and holographic micro-glitter in a clear base."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xn_pK1UX63c/VJI3ajiT0dI/AAAAAAAAEcM/Ypc8M6VHOuQ/s1600/20141214_172717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xn_pK1UX63c/VJI3ajiT0dI/AAAAAAAAEcM/Ypc8M6VHOuQ/s1600/20141214_172717.jpg" height="532" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a "glitter" polish, I was surprised at how easy it was to make it opaque. I used three easy coats and one coat of Seche Vite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WYqiesc3UgE/VJI3ar651eI/AAAAAAAAEcU/vwKXDEhUy3U/s1600/20141214_172617.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WYqiesc3UgE/VJI3ar651eI/AAAAAAAAEcU/vwKXDEhUy3U/s1600/20141214_172617.jpg" height="640" width="492" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again, I've fallen in love with Alchemy Lacquers and all the awesomeness happening over there. I can't wait to see what else is in store!</div>

Hello there! I wanted to fast-track this polish, because it is Christmas themed. I just couldn't waste any time. I will have the rest of the Holiday collection by Model City Polish later this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I have for you "Christmas With a Chance of Snow".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xQvoaGVnbYg/VJBI8abe8NI/AAAAAAAAEbU/OEEaOElGWuY/s1600/20141215_214457.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xQvoaGVnbYg/VJBI8abe8NI/AAAAAAAAEbU/OEEaOElGWuY/s1600/20141215_214457.jpg" height="524" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas With a Chance of Snow is a clear based glitter topper jam-packed with green and red holographic hex and teeny little matte white hex. As a topper, I am certain that this would be adorable. I opted to build it up and make my nails ultra glittery!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dts2kNndijk/VJBI8g1fEzI/AAAAAAAAEbc/khBKENqefTg/s1600/20141215_214605.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dts2kNndijk/VJBI8g1fEzI/AAAAAAAAEbc/khBKENqefTg/s1600/20141215_214605.jpg" height="640" width="512" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my pictures I have on 3 coats of the polish, one coat of Gelous and one coat of Seche Vite. This polish is MAJORLY loaded with glitter, so at first it's a little bit thick. I don't mind having a thick layer on my nails, but for those that don't, one coat of glitter with color under it would be great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N12pMRd6a3o/VJBI8QJuSBI/AAAAAAAAEbY/32-o5vn3HUs/s1600/20141215_214418%2B(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N12pMRd6a3o/VJBI8QJuSBI/AAAAAAAAEbY/32-o5vn3HUs/s1600/20141215_214418%2B(2).jpg" height="524" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one part of five polishes in Nina's Holiday collection for Model City Polish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this Christmas polish, it is super festive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aside from it being a <i>smidge</i> on the thick side, application was great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check back later this week for more goodness from Model City!</div>

Happy Sunday everyone! I have yet another blue polish to show you today! It may not be super unique, but I love it so much because I made it myself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently had a little get-together and some friends and I whipped up our own polishes, just for fun. As you may or may not remember I am a lover of all things blue. So, of course it wouldn't be right for me to make something on my own in any other color, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not really sure how best to describe this color. It's a very opaque jelly, with shimmery flakes and a nice holo. It only took one coat to get great coverage with this one of a kind polish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

What do you think? I'm pretty proud of my creation!</div>

Hi friends! I have another lovely shade by Alchemy Lacquers for you today.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
As with every other Alchemy Lacquer I have, this one is beautiful too.<br />
Nightshade is a "Very dark purple jelly nail lacquer with a very strong green shimmer."<br />

Gorgeous, as always! I love this color, the polish itself however didn't level out until I put a topcoat on it. To me, that's not an issue at all, because I would never go without topcoat. This was just something that I noticed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my pictures I have on three coats of Nightshade and one coat of Seche Vite.</div>

If you're not familiar with Alchemy Lacquers yet, it's time. Slowly, but surely I am adding more and more of these unique pretties to my collection. I have shared a couple other of her colors with you, and they are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's color is just as pretty as the others, Gilded Lagoon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZvH-Z6p37Ms/VITZSrqH12I/AAAAAAAAEYo/jvmgBFEs97g/s1600/20141207_143613.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZvH-Z6p37Ms/VITZSrqH12I/AAAAAAAAEYo/jvmgBFEs97g/s1600/20141207_143613.jpg" height="520" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alchemy Lacquers has an ever-growing collection of polishes called the "Gildeds". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the bases have a gold to silver shift and feature various glitters that are inspired by their name.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vpKd5tYyjdI/VITZSg6C9VI/AAAAAAAAEYw/R_Sfkug07Zo/s1600/20141207_143725.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vpKd5tYyjdI/VITZSg6C9VI/AAAAAAAAEYw/R_Sfkug07Zo/s1600/20141207_143725.jpg" height="640" width="412" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gilded Lagoon is a "turquoise tinted, gold to silver shifting metallic with multi-sized green, turquoise and dark blue metallic and holographic glitter."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the texture of this polish!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my pictures I am wearing three coats of Gilded Lagoon, and one coat of Seche Vite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's like a magical mermaid, My friend Sady calls it "Mermaid pond".</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had my eyes on this polish for a very long time, and nabbed it when Alchemy had their awesome black friday sale. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many other Gilded polishes to be had. In fact, Alchemy Lacquers is now offering a Gilded Mini set. You can get a little taste of all of these stunning polishes that she offers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just placed a pre-order for four Christmas/Hanukkah polishes. Two of them are Gilded shades, and I am so excited to get them!</div>

I know, I know...there's flakies <i>EVERYWHERE. </i>I love all the flakies, I think they are beautiful! They look pretty unassuming in the bottle, but then you layer them over black and POW! They are really transformational. I don't have any of the topcoat flakies but I DO know of some other bloggers with awesome swatches...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check them out!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
(swatches on the Darling Diva site)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The flakie craze has definitely hit the nail community! I decided that I was going to practice restraint and choose the ONE flakie polish that really spoke to me. I saw a swatch of Galactic Halo by Indigo Bananas and went crazy for it. I had seen it on the IB site first, but it wasn't until I saw it swatched by Amanda at Amanda Loves Polish on Instagram. I went and bought it immediately!<br />
<br />
There's a lot of pictures in this post, just to warn you!<br />
<br />
Drumroll please..............<br />

<br />
I am in love with this polish! I understand now, what all the fuss is about!<br />
I have on two coats (only two!) in my pictures.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mZQjjG-YIzU/VH8h9gqgg-I/AAAAAAAAEX4/zD3Mp9lKV3w/s1600/20141201_205014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mZQjjG-YIzU/VH8h9gqgg-I/AAAAAAAAEX4/zD3Mp9lKV3w/s1600/20141201_205014.jpg" height="462" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This polish looks great indoors, out in the sun, in my lightbox, with flash and with no flash. In every light, it's different. The cousin of this polish is Accretion Disk and if you want to see a FANTASTIC swatch, click [<a href="http://polishedpathology.com/2014/12/01/indigo-bananas-accretion-disk/" target="_blank">here</a>]. Jenne has fantastic swatches, doesn't she?<br />
<br />

<br />
The picture above is under a lamp that we have in the salon I work in. It really shows the metallic effect in the flakies, even a little bit of the holo!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X3nO4OxPVrU/VH8l3U2onjI/AAAAAAAAEYQ/1s_UsTTYmSQ/s1600/20141203_085323.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X3nO4OxPVrU/VH8l3U2onjI/AAAAAAAAEYQ/1s_UsTTYmSQ/s1600/20141203_085323.jpg" height="472" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Normally, I don't include a photo taken with only the camera flash, because it's not the best representation of the color. This is just a gratuitous holo shot. It's so awesome!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ub65DASLpTs/VH8h8-ErZlI/AAAAAAAAEXs/eAWrjjPB73Q/s1600/20141201_204923.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ub65DASLpTs/VH8h8-ErZlI/AAAAAAAAEXs/eAWrjjPB73Q/s1600/20141201_204923.jpg" height="640" width="454" /></a></div>
<br />
Here you can see all the bitty baby flakes in there!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This picture is here to show all of the color shift that this color has. It is also most realistic to what it looks like indoors, in person.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I went to dinner last night, and our server said, "Wow. Your nails are really pretty. That color is awesome."<br />
Even 20 something guys think that Galactic Halo is awesome!<br />
This color and Accretion Disk(the green one) are available in a Holo and a Non-Holo version.<br />
I don't know how long these colors will be around, but you should really get your hands on them immediately!<br />

How was Thanksgiving? Ours was pretty cold, and it's still cold now. Frigid, in fact. When I bundled up my kiddo for the bus stop she kind of resembled the little brother in A Christmas Story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is "Cyber Monday". Not only are there great deals from all of your favorite retailers, there are TONS of deals to be had from just about every artisan polish maker there is! I'll give you a rundown of the sales after I show you a couple colors from Northern Star Polish!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hRK2nMcswJk/VHx_cCVghjI/AAAAAAAAEXA/ESEErJjgwDU/s1600/20141130_175509.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hRK2nMcswJk/VHx_cCVghjI/AAAAAAAAEXA/ESEErJjgwDU/s1600/20141130_175509.jpg" height="640" width="542" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite thing about ordering from indie polish creators is seeing the packaging when it comes in the mail. The package I received from Northern Star not only came super fast (yay for local shipping!) it's also SUPER ADORABLE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first of the two colors I got is called "Immortal Kiss". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This color is "a dark burgundy that can lean purple or brown depending on skin tone with a light holographic finish."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like there is more to this polish than the description can convey. It's a very "dusty" cool purple that has a slight shimmer of violet that is hard to catch on my camera. It starts out very sheer, but builds up to a lovely finish with three easy coats. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>IMMORTAL KISS</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z87zpZwr0Jg/VHx_b_MvdGI/AAAAAAAAEW4/ksH36jIq3Kk/s1600/20141130_180921.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z87zpZwr0Jg/VHx_b_MvdGI/AAAAAAAAEW4/ksH36jIq3Kk/s1600/20141130_180921.jpg" height="622" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next color I have to show you, is "Be Merry, Bish!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This color is a bright red that leans a little pink because of the pink shimmer throughout.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also used three coats for this one, and one coat of topcoat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7PCguktvavE/VHx_dFZDN8I/AAAAAAAAEXE/pMjcIXuz9d0/s1600/20141130_183717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7PCguktvavE/VHx_dFZDN8I/AAAAAAAAEXE/pMjcIXuz9d0/s1600/20141130_183717.jpg" height="536" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The texture of both of these colors is very smooth. When applying, I had to be careful to not load up the brush too much, or I would have had polish all up in my cuticles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked these up along with a cuticle oil and also received a couple sample sizes of oil as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The verdict? Super cute packaging, super fast shipping, cute names and of course, quality polish with great color payoff. Win, in my book. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Good Morning, and a Happy Thanksgiving to you!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had planned on doing a nice, fall-like mani for today. Something with browns, and golds...lots of warm rich tones. You know what? I am seriously lacking in browns...and golds. What's up with that?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess I need to start building my collection when it comes to brown polish!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I chose to do a gradient with black and tan and then use a black, white and gold glitter topper over it. I really like the way it turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colors I used were:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OPI My vampire is buff</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sinful colors Black on Black</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think that these are a little flashier than I intended but I still like them. I'll probably do something like this for New Years eve!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for checking in, I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving.</div>

This polish is FINALLY making it to a legitimate blog post. I have had this shade for a long time, and I feel like I have come pretty dang close to acceptably capturing how lovely it is. If there were a title for "perfect blue holo" Nightbird would win. It's rich, it has depth and it has holo (that unfortunately the sun won't let me show you).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nightbird is part of the White Witch collection. It is an indigo blue holo that goes on easy peasy! I'm wearing two coats of color and one coat of topcoat in my photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I really wish you could see the beautiful holo that this polish has)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even in low light, it's got a nice holo component I just can't get my camera to find it!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how indigo blue and gold look together. It looks so rich and regal. I decided to do some nail art over this beautiful blue. I used my personal favorite gold, "Tre Crime de Lavaredo" by Elevation Polish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fun, huh? Tre Crime de Lavaredo is a one coat wonder, so it's great for nail art like this!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Monday, and have a great week!</div>

I have got an oldie but goodie for you today. I'm gonna be a naughty blogger and show you a discontinued color. I've had this polish FOREVER. It's been sitting unloved in a drawer for a long time. My daughter and I were attempting a water marbled Christmas ornament when I unearthed this old 2008 OPI beauty. I used it in a water marble on an ornament and then decided to put it on my nails.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pk3CMMluOQ4/VHAKKGbz4jI/AAAAAAAAEVI/RtmMm2qLl1E/s1600/Little%2BRed%2BWagon%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pk3CMMluOQ4/VHAKKGbz4jI/AAAAAAAAEVI/RtmMm2qLl1E/s1600/Little%2BRed%2BWagon%2B2.jpg" height="492" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always forget how beautiful a classic red nail looks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is "Little Red Wagon" and it is from the OPI 2008 Holiday collection titled "Holiday in Toyland".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wCUXBSHB3x4/VHAKKCiipbI/AAAAAAAAEVM/JOxCcukaURw/s1600/Little%2BRed%2BWagon%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wCUXBSHB3x4/VHAKKCiipbI/AAAAAAAAEVM/JOxCcukaURw/s1600/Little%2BRed%2BWagon%2B1.jpg" height="492" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though this one is discontinued, you can find it easily on third party sites like eBay and Amazon for less than $15. I think this might be the perfect base to go under some holiday nail art!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for reading, have an awesome weekend!</div>

Are you trying to pronounce that polish name in your head? I still am...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lulu of Elevation Polish uses places all over the world inspire her to make her polishes and also to name them. Clearly she is well traveled, because her polishes are named after places all over the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't even ask me to pronounce them. I'm calling today's polish Wai. Its actual name is "Wai'anapanapa" and it is part of the recently released Hawaiian Punch collection. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wai'anapanapa is the name of a state park in Maui. I don't know that because I've been there...but after looking up some info on the inspiration, I want to go there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(<a href="http://www.hawaiistateparks.org/parks/maui/waianapanapa.cfm" target="_blank">Check it out</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n6ycE3tFfYg/VGof1Sl9LII/AAAAAAAAEUs/99i0MO0qO_U/s1600/Wai%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n6ycE3tFfYg/VGof1Sl9LII/AAAAAAAAEUs/99i0MO0qO_U/s1600/Wai%2B1.jpg" height="472" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wai'anapanapa is an almost opaque black filled with pink and purple flake shimmer. I used two coats of the color in these pictures, and two coats of Seche Vite because I wanted it to look extra squishy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IHl7kXmj8sQ/VGof1PMTZiI/AAAAAAAAEU0/6E8oP6QwBQI/s1600/Wai%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IHl7kXmj8sQ/VGof1PMTZiI/AAAAAAAAEU0/6E8oP6QwBQI/s1600/Wai%2B2.jpg" height="640" width="414" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon first glance, it may look like a simple unassuming black polish. When you see it shimmer, that's when it's personality comes out. I love those pink and purple flakes in there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hq5Ljgw_UkM/VGof1MpvEAI/AAAAAAAAEUk/2nnSdbbkxno/s1600/Wai%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hq5Ljgw_UkM/VGof1MpvEAI/AAAAAAAAEUk/2nnSdbbkxno/s1600/Wai%2B3.jpg" height="486" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I JUST checked and Wai'anapanapa is still available on the Elevation Polish web store. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I said yesterday, restocks happen on the 7th of each month at 9pm and the 22nd at 9am.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's always something great there, and if you get lucky you can get your hands on a rare SBP!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Monday, and have a great week.</div>
