ABC Challenge- M is for Matte

I'm back! I know, I know I've been missing for ages. Finals took over my life and then I got super sick over spring break. We're talking bed for days. But I am back and I really missed you guys! I've finally started feeling better and work and school have slowed down a bit so nails are making their way back into my schedule (yay!) I know I missed a couple other ABC Challenge posts so I'll be adding them onto this post.

Anyway, onto the nails.....

For letter K I used Spoiled Kickin' the Habit, a neon fuschia. I was not a big fan of this at all. The brush absolutely sucked. It was more of just a big bushy thing rather than a brush. Also, depending on which way you turned the bottle it was a different color. And the color in the bottle was different than the color on the nail. I shook it up so much and I still felt like the pigment wouldn't mix up or something. Ugh.

ABC Challenge J is for Butter London Jack the Lad!

Hi everyone! Today is letter J of the ABC Challenge! I can't believe we have all made it this far :) For this challenge all the participants choose a polish name, brand, or nail art technique that begins with the letter of the week. For this week I have Butter London Jack the Lad from last year's winter/holiday collection. It is such a stunner! I liked this a lot more than I expected to.

Orly Hope and Freedom Collection Swatches!

Happy Tuesday! Hope you guys all had a lovely weekend and didn't have too much trouble waking up with Daylight Savings taking away an hour of sleep. Today I have swatches of a really fun collection that I have been dying to find ever since I saw swatches of it. For all of these I used no basecoat (spoiler: no staining on any of them!) and one coat of Sally  Hansen Insta-Dri as my top coat.

Orly Melodious Utopia- 4 coats. Officially my favorite yellow! I loved this so much! The formula is not streaky at all but it is a bit sheer. It was pretty opaque in 3 coats, I just did 4 so you could see the full effect. This has tons of pink and orange shimmer in it, making it unique (in my collection at least)

ABC Challenge- B is for Sally Hansen Blue It!

Hello everyone! So as you know I am participating in the ABC Challenge being hosted by the lovely Kimber from Kimber's Lacquer Korner. For this challenge we are to choose a nail polish brand, color, or type of nail art for the letter we are on that week. Today I have Sally Hansen Blue It, a lovely cobalt blue with silver shimmer.  Seriously beautiful. This is actually one of the very first polishes that started my love for nail polish so it holds a special place in my heart. I would wear it nearly every day in high school, and I still love wearing it.

ABC Challenge! A is for Finger Paints Art of Theft

Hello ladies! Today I am starting my first challenge! I'm super excited to be participating :) For the ABC Challenge we are to pick a polish name or brand that starts with the letter we are on. I think that this will be a great way for me to go through some of my untrieds and show you all a ton of polishes! We will be posting every Wednesday, so keep an eye out for posts. All the links to the blogs of the other lovely ladies participating in this challenge will be at the bottom of this post :)

Art of Theft is a dark blue polish that had the prettiest pink shimmer in the bottle. In real life, it is slightly more purple...the last picture is the most color accurate

Ulta Chic Peek

I just have a quick post today of a really pretty polish! Chic Peek was my first polish from Ulta and I really love it. I had actually been lemming this for a while and snatched it up during a buy one get one free sale they were having. Its kind of difficult to describe so on to the pictures!
