I can't believe Christmas is almost here!

That means it's time for some Christmas nails!

I've been having a hard time which colors to wear because I just bought Model City Polish holiday collection & Turtle Tootsie Polish Christmas Collection.

Glisten & Glow H K Topcoat

So I've been hearing about Glisten & Glow HK Topcoat for a a while now. I decided it was time to try it out, especially when my freind Babi over at Colorsutraasays it's her go to topcoat.

Model City Fall Collection Part 1

Ever since I fell in love with Model City Polish I buy every single new collection. Seriously, I do.

So I'm going to show you part of the fall collection today, part 2 will have the rest plus the November small batches. 

First up is  Cosmic Lovers,a dark blue holo.

Everyone that knows me knows I love blue nail polish so when Nina showed this polish in her fan group I knew I needed it in my life!

I used 2 coats plus a topcoat. 

Seriously,I'm in love with this one.

Next is I'll Catch You,dark green holo.

When I saw this one I immediately thought of Paradisce City from Model City Polish, but this one is a little bit darker.

I used 2 coat plus a topcoat. Doesn't it look like a it would make a great color for christmas? 

Last is Glowing Embers, an orange holo.

Orange is color I usually don't like & stay away from. However I really like the look of this one.

I used 2 coats plus a topcoat.

Also none of these stained! Another reason I love them.

Stay tuned, I'll have the rest of the collection later this week:)

---

First up is 5 Months of Bills.

5 Months of Bills is a green metallic polish.

Isnt it just perfect for Christmas? 

I used 2 coast to achieve this look. Also it drys pretty fast, before I applied topcoat I bumped my nails & I didn't smudge them.

Next is Midnight Madness.

Midnight Madness is a grey almost black polish with holo glitter & rainbow glitter.

Isn't pretty? It's so festive! 

I used 2 coast to achieve this look. Also I didn't have to "go fishing" for the glitter.

Last but not least is the Pumpkin Cheesecake Topcoat. I used this topcoat on both polishes. It smells soooooo good! But fair warning for everyone, do not use this on an empty stomach it will make you hungry! That's how yummy it smells!

Also I seriously love this warning on the bottom of the bottle.

These will all be availible at midnight on Black Friday at TurtleTootsiePolishes thru cyber Monday. 

Price: $12 for the mini set 

$20 for the full size. For an additional $3 you can add the topcoat. 

The Nail Polish Book Review

I was recently in a Facebook group were this lady asked how does everyone keep track of their nail polish. Now I've heard this question before but the answer has always been a spreadsheet.

Not this time. Instead several said they use an app call The Nail Polish Book.

This surprised me because I seriously wasn't expecting anyone to tell her there is an app.

Pretty & Polished & Model City Polish Nail Art

I've been enjoying glitter toppers lately.  I discovered them in September & I'm still trying to figure out how I managed without them! 

Glitter toppers help dress up polishes, giving your nails a whole new look.

It also gives you a nail art look that's super easy.

Model City Polish Paradise City Holo

Today is all about the first holo polish I ever bought. I really didn't understand what Holo's were at first. I mean I had a few from Julep & I had seen Essie's Holo'd but I didn't really get what everyone was excited about till I bought this polish.

Nail hoot Gramma Sparkle Berry

I haven't worn this one since I first got it months ago, so I figured it's past time to wear it again.

It's Nail Hoot on Gramma Sparkle Berry.

KB Shimmer Snow Much Fun Review

Today's nail polish has a funny story to go with it.

The polish I'm using today is KB Shimmer in Snow Much fun.

Pretty And Polished Amethyst Or Am I That Review

Today's polish is a gorgeous purple by Pretty And Polished called Amethyst Or Am I That, part of the Dusty Creme Collection.

Mani Of The Day Breast Cancer Edition

Since my attempts to try & do nail art didn't go as well as I planned I decided I'll just stick to fun polishes for now.

So today's mani is for the contest that Turtle Tootsie Polishes is having called 

The Pink Ribbon Challange.

The Accidental Halloween Mani

I had decided to take a break from halloween mani's, especially since I totally messed up my nail art mani. Granted I like halloween but I'm just itching to wear a green polish & a blue polish right now.

So the green polish I picked is actually the first time I ever use it!

It Appletini by Pretty & Polished

Mani of the day

My next halloween polish is one I mentioned a while back.

It's Nail Hoot in Jeepers Creepers

Turtle Tootsie Polish Halloween Collection

I can't believe we are already the middle of October. Seriously, where did the time go? 

But middle of October means we are getting closer to halloween which also mean it's time for some halloween mani's!

Wave Of Polish Auction

October isn't just breast cancer awareness month, it's also International Pregnancy & Infant Loss awareness month. Theresa of Grace-Full Lacquer is helping get the word out to everyone.

Pregnancy & Infant Loss is very close to the heart of grace-full lacquer. Theresa lost her daughter at only 32 hours old.  By hosting this auction, Theresa is hoping to bring more light to a subject that is not often spoken of.  It's estimated that 1 in 4 pregnancies will end in miscarriage while around 3,000 babies are lost shortly after birth. 

Grace-Full Lacquer will be hosting the 3rd annual Wave Of Polish Auction. 26 indie polish brands have donated nail polish for this wonderful auction with all proceeds to benefit SANDS Australia.

Sands Australia is a non profit organization working to provide support and education to families going through the awful tragedy of losing a child. 

Here are a few of the polishes that are in the auction

Enchanted

Lilllypad Lacquer

Joss

Cupcake 

Tatty Mule

Auction ends on 10/15

Mani Of The Day

Today's mani is probably my most popular mani to date! I've gotten so many compliments even my doctor noticed my nails! I even had 2 people ask me if I did my nails myself or did I go to a salon. 

I used Pretty & Polished in Aquaholic &

Turtle Tootsie Polish in Suvival 

I love how they go so good together.

My nails look so festive!

This was my first time using Pretty & Polish & I was very happy with it. It was easy to use, dried quickly, and lasted several days too. 

Granted this isn't the first turtle tootsie polish but it's the first topper I've tried, and I was very happy with it too. Now like with pretty much all toppers you have to swirl the brush around and "catch' the glitter which I thought was pretty easy. Dried fast & lasted several days too.

Indie Breast Cancer Awareness polish List

Here's my list so far

Sephora Sleep Mask review

A while back wheni was at sephora I noticed several of the employee gathered around trying to decide which of these small colorful boxes they wanted. I had no idea what they were till a few weeks later when I finally saw them on the shelf. 

Mani of the day

So being a nail polish lover it's hard to pick out which color I should wear next. 20 minutes after I have narrowed it down to 3 I finally decided on one.

I picked Turtle Tootsie Polish in coffee & chocolates.

Unboxing! Enchanted Polish

So I kept hearing all about Enchanted Polish & how it's amazing, you need it in your life, once you try it you'll be hooked ect. So I finally decided to preorder from Enchated last month to see for myself what all this hype is about. I only ordered 2 out of the 3.

It arrived in a small white box, reminds me a lot of juleps boxes. 

Onced I opened it I saw my 2 polishes wrapped in bubble wrap & packing peanuts right up against them.

The first one I picked up was Reign Beau

Isn't it pretty? It's so pretty in person.

The second one is Disco H2O

There is a little bit of a shadow in my picture(sorry) but I like this color.

So I'm very impressed with the size of the bottles, I'm not sure what the size is. I think it's a 15 maybe 16 oz bottle 

So I tried out Reign Beau and I love it so far. No chips, easy to apply, & dried pretty fast.

So overall I like Enchanted. And now I'm regretting not getting the 3rd color.

These colors are currently sold out
