It was love at first stroke for this grape holographic shimmer nail polish from Julep. Mostly because of the glitter, it is right up my sparkle alley. The polish is quite sheer with one quote so I had to apply two quotes to get an opaque look and to bring out the purple — it…
This weekend I decided that Julep’s Isla and Cover Girl’s Grapevine should meet. I think it was a pretty good collaboration and that the sheen of these two polishes work well together. I decided to paint the purple on in two blocks leaving a clear strip down the middle for Isla to fill in. I…
In the early fall I bought a bunch of Avon nail polishes including these two. At the time I bought them I had not planned to put them together when I pulled them out of the box last week it seemed like a good plan. Meh. By itself the Suddenly Sunny Speed Dry goes on…

When I saw Jen’s (PolishAholic) Purple Ombre Waterfalls I thought they were so incredibly elegant looking and so simplistic I could definitely recreate them “no sweat”. I think the side to side gradient color from nail to nail is an awesome look and I really liked the contrast of the purple and the gold. I…
My last ditch at summer colors was wearing Essie’s Boxer Shorts (1034). I applied two not really smooth coats for an opaque color look. I absolutely love this color which is actually a bit more lavender than the photo highlights. In spite of really loving the color I couldn’t help jazzing it up a bit…
