Beyond

Exhausted. What a month. I've wanted to post more and actually have a decent store of pictures, but it's been a fairly harrowing month, I think I've earned the use of that word. My nails have also been breaking left and right (pun intended) so they'll be looking a bit more nubbinly than normal.

Here's a lovely holo from Color Club's Halo Hues collection. It looks a bit darker in some photos than it is, it's a bit more charcoal than black, maybe. The formula is amazing on these holos, better wearing and more holo than its cousin Revvvolution.

Enchanting

This polish looks like magic in a bottle. I had to have it and I'm so anxiously awaiting the next Enchanted restock. It's over black here and I think that makes it look a bit more potent. I'm lazy, so that was a pain, but it only took took coats after that and it was just striking indoor and out. I don't think I've ever had more compliments...pic heavy.

Orly Matte FX Collection

This collection did not catch my eye at Sally's, but my bf decided to come in that night and for some reason he got very excited over this (so sweet) and I'm glad he did.

With the creative name of "Pink Flakie Top Coat" (an easy to apply, two-coater, matte rainbow flakie top coat) we got these gorgeous results over OPI Black Onyx.

I hope to do more pics and I think I will because I definitely plan on wearing this magical combo again soon.

Vampy Vesper

Vesper is my last bond girl Liquid Sand from OPI, I thought I had posted it, but I hadn't. I think this might be surprise my favorite. My bf picked this out. It looks really ugly and brown in the bottle--but don't be fooled ;) The black glitter effect in the dark purple sheer polish is just beautiful and gem-like. 

I think it takes about 18 hours to dry into the gorgeous blackened purple--so give it a chance before dismissing it as a plain black. The longer it dries, the lighter it gets. I've worn it twice already and I love it. It takes 2-3 coats to get fully opaque.

Pardon the tip wear.

Htf Gem

It's been pretty quiet around here lately except that I got a new follower--HELLO!!! New follower and thank you :D YAY!!! I literally would wear the same polish as long as there was no chipping for four or five days in summer school, I just did not have time to change it. Sometimes I didn't have time to take a picture either, so I don't have a lot of pics right now.

I'm feeling really bummed about my physiology class right now, as I just generally feel like my brain isn't working.

But here's Brucci Black Emerald, a stunning duo/multichrome that goes from black to reddish brownish to blackened green and reddish green. Hard to capture and hard to describe, but gorgeous. Two coats over one coat of Sephora OPI Never Enough Shoes.

Yours Truly

All the way from the Land Down Undah, Lilypad Lacquer presents True Blood, a deep (blood) red/burgundy/wine/sometimes plummy looking holographic polish. I had been envisioning a polish like this for months when I finally saw this sparkly gem and realized I'd have to order it from Australia, nbd. Also now available on Llarowe. 

Sometime I realized that what I may have been looking for was a dupe for EP's Vampire's Dessert, which this definitely isn't. It's much bluer, where Vampire's is browner. This polish is 100% beautiful in it's own right and I may even like it more!

Always Room For

Hot chocolate.

I haven't had a lot of time to post lately, as my 9-hour/4-day per week school schedule was getting the best of me in a sleepy way. However, there's always room for hot chocolate, particularly Enchanted's Hot Chocolate. Here's a redo of the original. Three coats.
