OPI Skyfall and Goldeneye

Happy Christmas Eve! What's everyone's plans for tonight? My family is planning on making pizza (our yearly tradition) and watching holiday specials.



Today's mani is brought to you by two cult fave OPI polishes. Both come from the James Bond Skyfall collection back in 2012!

Everything I Hauled from December's Polish Pickup

Got my final Polish Pickup haul for 2018!


For those that don't know what Polish Pickup is, it is a multi indie vendor shop that runs the first weekend of the month. Exclusive nail polish and nail care items galore. I'm a kid in a candy store when I shop there.



Each month has a voted on theme. December's was Enchanted Forest. Let's see how polish makers interpreted that theme!

Swirled Mint nails

As I mentioned in my Peppermints in the Parlor post, I love peppermint. It's my favorite scent and taste. The stronger the better. I also love rainbows. So this mani is a match made in heaven for me.

Topic Tuesdays: Favorite Christmas Polishes (+ Bonus Question)

Topic Tuesdays asked polish fans two questions on Instagram this week. I'm going to answer both.


The first question is of our favorite Christmas polishes. I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to colors. Here are mine by color, both old and new. I'll do two for each color.

Starlight Polish Peppermints in the Parlor

Better late than never. I intended to post this mani all this weekend but life got in the way. I've been excited to wear this in December since I got it in a destash a few months ago. Perfect for Christmas, am I right?

Femme Friday: Strings of Light

I'm posting this later than I'd like. At least it's still Friday? This is one of my most festive Femme Fatales in my collection.

Creative Cuticles Take Chances. Make Mistakes. Get Messy.

December is a muggy month in my neck of the woods. Lots of muck on the ground after the latest downpour(s). Snow would be an improvement. This latest mani isn't the most festive but I appreciate the rainbow this polish provides.

JReine Lagniappe over OPI My Twin Joey

Who's already set up their lights and/or tree? Congrats, you're faster than my family. My dad is currently out setting up some lights and I'm about to make some room for the tree after writing this. Christmastime is finally here!

As it's finally getting more festive here, I decided that I didn't want to go with a simple creme polish like I've been wearing lately. Not just holo, either. We're gonna get showered by some Unicorn Pee in this joint!

Femme Friday: Unicorn Treasure Trove (with PINK version!)

I've been so excited to share this one. It is one of my top Femmes. You know that a polish is good when you're seeking a backup and its "oops" variation. Y'all, for me that is Unicorn Treasure Trove.

Pokemon Go Community Weekend nails

Pokemon Go had a special Community Day to cap off the year. Instead of a single Pokemon hogging the spotlight for three hours, all the previous Community Day pokemon spawned at higher rates for an entire weekend. Got a bunch s'more Larvitar and Beldum candies so I'm happy.

Wax Empties, November 2018 Edition

I didn't empty, let alone melt, that much last month. Mostly because of fatigue and illness. Hard to enjoy scent when your stomach is churning, you know? That being said, everything I emptied this month was an old favorite or a newfound hit.


Mini reviews will be in alphabetical order for both scent and vendor name.
