Valentines Day mani featuring Nvr Enuff Roses

Long time, no see! Between getting back into dolls and pursuing weight loss surgery, nail polish is kinda on the back burner. I don't feel myself running out of passion anytime soon. I'm just not changing my polish as often lately.

For Valentines Day I decided to do a rose themed mani. What else was more perfect than Nvr Enuff Roses? It's inspiration is Tuxedo Mask, who is best known for throwing roses at enemies.

I don't wear a lot of black or super dark polish but I do love this one. Maybe it's that Sailor Moon connection? Maybe it's the shimmer? Who knows. It's just pretty. I like pretty.

The roses were reverse stamped. I'm more of the "color in the design directly on the stamper" versus "making decals on a mat" kind of person. I just can't seem to get the mat method down. Luckily I have enough stampers to make enough for a hand at a time. I'm pleased at how vibrant that the roses are against the dark background.

What was your Valentines Day mani?

Everything I Hauled from September's Polish Pickup

Greetings, y'all! I'm here with my latest haul from Polish Pickup!

If you're new to Polish Pickup, it is an online store set up during the first weekend of the month where a bunch of polish makers come together and make exclusive polishes modeled after a common theme. September 2018's theme was horror movies. I don't consider myself a die hard horror fan but I do enjoy them. Especially psychological and werewolf flicks. I get full moon fever whenever I see werewolf related stuff.

Midnight Sophia Wax Warmer nails

A bunch of Yankee Candle fans look forward to new Boney Bunch collectibles every year. I look forward to the Sophia the Cat stuff. Fits into my love of black kitties. Last year's Midnight Sophia line particularly appealed to me. The tealight warmer from that collection is definitely my cutest warmer.

Given how much I love this warmer, it's a no brainer that I'd do nails based on it.

Nvr Enuff Champions of Justice Collection (+ Mary's Amy Rose) swatches and reviews

Greetings, y'all! Polish hauls are always exciting, but I was particularly stoked for this haul to arrive in my mailbox. I'm a sucker for Sailor Moon merchandise. Ah sucker Ah tell ya. Polish is certainly not exempted from that. I should probably add a tag for Sailor Moon since I'm sure I'll have a lot of Sailor Moon nail stuff on this blog. (Update: 'tis done.)

Anyway, Nvr Enuff released their own Sailor Moon inspired collection back in July and I finally managed to buy the entire collection. It is a collection of six polishes inspired by the inner senshi/Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask. It is also more focused on the DiC/Cloverway dubs that owner Lynnae and I grew up with. Along with these, I'll be including the Mary's Monthly for September, a Sonic inspired polish that could easily double as a polish for Sailor Chibi/Mini Moon!

All swatches include glossy top coat and a matte accent nail.

Scottie Stamping

This mani is the result of nostalgia and alma mater pride. As I mention in my about me page, I attended a women's college. Its name is Agnes Scott College, and its mascot is appropriately (and adorably) the Scottish Terrier.

Her name is Irvine, BTW.

I have a lot of great memories about college and miss it a lot. Occasionally I'll see something that reminds me of it. So when I saw the Scottie design on this dog themed plate that Bundle Monster had awhile ago, I had to have it. Today's design was already in my head.

Nvr Enuff Spare No Expense

Everyone's got a favorite movie. Mine's Jurassic Park. I've seen it so many times that I've practically memorized the script. When I heard word of a Jurassic Park themed indie polish box, it should be obvious what my reaction was. I couldn't afford the entire box but I did manage to split a box with someone on Facebook. Along with some waterslide decals and nail vinyls, I claimed the one polish I  wanted most- Nvr Enuff's Spare No Expense.
