Essie Turquoise And Caicos


Hey all!  I haven't used an Essie color in a long time, so I decided to reswatch Turquoise and Caicos.  My original "swatch" can be found here.  I didn't have as much trouble with it this time around.  This is either 4 or 5 coats.  I lost count because I was multitasking to give each coat ample time to dry.  I'm leaning towards 5 though.  It's just as streaky as ever, which is why it needed that many coats.  It's such a shame, because the color itself is lovely.  Essie, please fix the formula!


Alright, short and simple post today.  I did do some cute nail art over this, so hopefully I'll have that up by tomorrow!  It's another Youtube tutorial. :)


Until next time!

Rescue Beauty Lounge Aqua Lily


I remember anticipating Aqua Lily's release date.  I'm a die hard turquoise/teal/aqua fan (not just for nail polish), so I was already in love with the color.  The pink shimmer just makes it extra amazing.  I signed up for an email reminder, and planned to man the computer when it went up.  Unfortunately, I got the time wrong.  I hurried to the computer and saw that it was sold out.  What?!  It's only been an hour or two!  But we're meant to be...  I was so frustrated.  Thankfully, there seems to have been a glitch because a few minutes later ( I sulkily refreshed the page) it was back.  I snagged it and only sighed in relief when my order confirmation came.  We were meant to be after all. ^__^

Care for a cup of tea? Or maybe some franken polish...

Hey all!  A few days ago I was at Ikea when I spotted something that made me do this.
