OPI Dutch Ya' Just Love OPI Dutch Ya' Just Love OPI from OPI is a grown up plum laced with gold shimmer. Indoors it looks very much like a cream and the gold shimmer you see in the bottle is nearly invisible. The gold does come out better in the sunlight and it is lovely! We are finally getting to the milder weather and more time spent outside makes reaching for the polish with mild shimmer a lot more rewarding. I just love that this polish looks great indoors at the offi

Maybelline Drops Of Jade Maybelline Drops of Jade is a fun one. The indie nail polish community has captured our attention with some amazing crelly polishes and the maintreamer's have been paying close attention. I had seen this polish time and time again but I picked it up only recently. I have had some very good experiences with the Maybelline Color Show line polishes that I have tried so far but this was the first one I purchased from the Polka Dots set. A sea foam gree

L'oreal Miss Luster-ess L'oreal Miss Lustrer-ess seemed like a good choice when I was reaching for my next polish. It's a dusty lilac with hints of pink. It's very pretty and perfect for spring. I purchased this a few weeks ago and I'll be honest with you I did not even notice that it was part of a gel system. Since no special lights are necessary for curing I went ahead and used it with my regular base and top coat without any issues. It leveled well and dried just like nail

Deborah Lippmann Dirty Little Secret I needed something a little less loud today and Deborah Lippmann had just the polish I was looking for. Dirty Little Secret is a sheer holographic greige. Nope I did not make that word up. Someone else did and I am borrowing it. Dirty Little Secret sits gracefully on the fence that divides beige and grey. It's filled with soft holo particles that are very flattering and easy to wear. The box called it a sheer shimmer but I had excellent

Revlon Spidey Sense We had a nice and easy going weekend so far and managed to score some quality family time with some popcorn and Netflix. As I watched the super hero and villain battling it out I made a mental note to pull out Spidey Sense because it's been way too long. I absolutely love this polish. It's a metallic/foil type red that leans towards raspberry depending on the lighting. It was released as part of an Electric Chrome Collection in 2014 for Spider-man 2 and

China Glaze Keepin' It Teal China Glaze Keepin' it Teal from the Sunsational Collection summer 2013 is a pretty teal jelly. I loved the color in the bottle so I painted a white base on my nails the same way that you would with a neon polish, to make sure the teal would be bright. I couldn't help but picture myself lying on the beach with a warm breeze gently blowing through the palm trees while sunlight danced and played in the waves of water in what I would have thought we

KB Shimmer Beach Please I am loving this color as much as the name! Just screams summer loud and clear and I am ready! KB Shimmer Beach Please is a fantastic bright pink cream polish that flirts with neon. The formula is really great. I used two coats for opacity and top coat for gloss. I was expecting this polish to bubble because it was pretty hot in my place while I was working on my mani and I was in a hurry so no time to wait between coats. That is like asking for bubb

Formula X Big Bang Big Bang from Formula X by Sephora came home with me when I was supposed to be shopping for someone else. Once upon a time I was given advice from a lovely woman who said anytime you buy a gift for someone you should buy yourself a little something as well.Thank you Diane for the wonderful advice, you were a wise woman. Nail polish bottles are so small I had to buy several to really make it count and follow my friends advice. In the bottle Big Bang looks am

A England Spirit of the Moors A England Spirit of the Moors from the Emily Bronte collection is a bright and rich blue filled with holographic particles too fine to be called glitter. The formula was smooth and just amazing. I have yet to come across a polish from A England that was anything less than superb. I don't know how she does it but I am very grateful that she does! I am showing you two coats with top coat. I could not wait to get a look at this baby in the sun. A En

Emily de Molly The Unloved Emily de Molly The Unloved is so pretty. It's a deep red jelly base with red and pink glitter in various shapes sizes and large silver circle glitter. It's truly stunning. I have had this one in my collection for a few months now and had not have had a chance to try it. I was planning on reviewing it for Valentines day but Mr. Nailvanna looked at me like I grew an extra head after I told him the name of the polish. He even went as far as sugges
