I know I can be a bit inconsistent with posts at times, but thank you so much for sticking through it with me! I thought it would be fun to link my three most popular and most viewed posts to date.

Liquid Lacquer- The Rain Song

Hello everyone!

Long time, no post! I'm sorry! School is really getting the best of me, but it sure is paying off because I got a 96% on my first exam, woohoo! Some of you might have seen from Facebook, but the 14th was my blogs first blogiversary! I was waiting for a few other goodies to come in the mail, and they have so a giveaway will be up soon! I'm really super excited about it, and I think you all will love it! Thank you so much for enjoying my blog along with me for my first year!

I have a rather appropriate polish to show you all tonight, considering it's pouring here in Maryland! This is my first Liquid Lacquer polish, and I'm already in love! It's called The Rain Song, and it's from the newer Physical Graffiti Collection. The Physical Graffiti Collection has solely holographic polishes, and it consists of quite a few stunners! The Rain Song is a super bright, ever so slightly, holographic turquoise. The holo definitely isn't super strong, and is more scattered when it is noticeable. The color of the polish is absolutely lovely regardless! The application was ok. On the second coat, a few nails were still patchy, but a third coat fixed 'em right up. I'm just really lovin' the color!

Three coats of Liquid Lacquer- The Rain Song
One coat of Poshe



Be sure to like Liquid Lacquer on Facebook to be notified of upcoming restocks, and keep an eye out for my First Year Blogiversary Giveaway some time this week! 
If you have any polishes in mind that are simular in color to The Rain Song, let me know! I would love to pick a few up :D

F4 Polish- Strawberry Shortcake

Hello again!

I have a polish to show you today that I'm actually ashamed I've never worn because it's so gorgeous! I love me some F4 Polish, and I still have quite a few I have yet to try on. The stunner I'm showing you today is F4 Polish- Strawberry Shortcake! I am so in love!

Strawberry Shortcake could not possibly be any closer to what I would think of if someone was talking about strawberry shortcake. Now I'm not sure what's going on because all the other pictures I've seen of this polish it has a creme base. Mine is very much so a shimmer. The base is a mauvey pink with a shimmer that looks slightly golden. It then has pink, red and holographic micro glitter along with white hexes. The application was awesome. Slightly thick, but only needed two good coats. I seriously don't even want to take this off! I keep staring at my nails in amazement. For such a simple color combination, it really is gorgeous! To bad I only got a mini.

Two coats of F4 Polish- Strawberry Shortcake
One coat of Gelous
One coat of Poshe



I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

F4 Polish is having a $5 off $20 sale on their Big Cartel! Use the code f4polish! The sale is going on until the 17th.

Spring Has Sprung!

Hello!!

I hope everyone has had a great week! I was feeling springy today, and decided to try my hand at some floral nail art. I really had no idea where I was going with this, but I think it turned out kinda cute!

For this mani I used Zoya- Coraline as my base. Coraline is a bright jelly orange. I used three coats, and it still showed my tips a bit. Then I used Zoya- Lara (medium pink) and Shelby (light pink) to create my flower. I used a tiny nail art brush, and just painted lines in a semi circle half way up my nail. To create a bit more dimension, I added a bit of Zoya- Belle for some sparkle. Then I poped on an orange rhinestone to make it a bit more flower-esque. It kinda looks a bit like daises, and I love that it's so bright!

I've really been into simple nail art lately. If you have any suggestions I should try, let me know!
