Lush Lacquer's Flippin Out and some Crazy Awesome Nail Mail!

I was finally able to swatch my Lush Lacquer Flippin' Out.  Since I haven't received a replacement label from the recent name change, I'm just showing the bottle side not the label.  The name of this polish was recently changed and Lush Lacquer asks that we not use the old name--legal reasons, I suspect!  Anyway, this is Flippin' Out over Julep's Emilie.  Great combo, right?!



Yet another label problem with one of my nail mails-- I ordered Princess Celestia from Darling Diva Polish and the bottle was mislabeled.  The store owner is sending me a replacement label but I couldn't wait to show it to you.   Love it in the bottle and will soon have it on my fingers and toes!




 This next polish is Strawberry Limeade from Two Birds One Store.  It reminds me of a different take on Floam or Sand Art.  Soo pretty and says "summer" to me.



I get a lot of polish advice from following The Trace Face Philes blog and facebook page.  She said the Windestine store was open and so I ran over to score these two beauties.



 Someone else on Facebook posted that HSN was having a sweet deal on Deborah Lippman polishes.  Don't Tell Mama and Dream a Little Dream of Me are full size and were under $10 for the pair.  Brings my humble total of DL polishes to 5!




I must confess that I recently dropped my Julep subscription.  There was a little problem with my gift certificate order never arriving and I was given the run around by customer service. After not receiving their 2nd attempt of shipping I gave up.  Still, I love America and O Canada so I happened upon a deal where if I ordered two Julep polishes, I'd receive America for free.  I bought O Canada and the pre-order of Chelsea. So at $24 I got my polishes for $8 a piece.  I'll take that and no, Im not renewing my subscription!



 Last, I ran out of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, one of my nail art staples, and went to Walgreens to replace it.  I found the Suit Up with Haute display and bought these four lovelies too.   I now have 70 Sinfuls...omg!


So I am quickly approaching 500 separate, unrepeated bottles of polish.  That doesn't include the stuff I've bought for giveways.  What an expensive, rewarding,  and cluttering hobby this nail art thing has turned out to be!

Got in a few more polishes and two swatches

I finally got my full size Lush Lacquer order in and I can't say enough about how beautiful Dippin Dots and Lite Brite are!



I did two coats of Lite Brite over two coats of Wednesday.


Ross was a mess the other day but I did find this unnamed Cosmetic Arts polish.  Its a smoky pink glitter that is very unique looking!



Last, I finally got around to using Pahlish's Toxic and Timeless.  I painted on two coats of OPI's Just Spotted the Lizard.  Then put on two coats of Toxic and Timeless on all but my ring fingernail.  Last I put on two coats of Orly's Spazmatic.

Party Rockin' Swatch


Out of all the polishes I received in the last batch of nail mail, Lush Lacquer's Party Rockin' was the one that called out to me to use first. 

I put two coats of Party Rockin' over one coat of Zoya's Alegra.





Party Rockin is filled to the brim with glitters of various sizes and colors.   Even so, I found it pretty manageable and easy to distribute evenly on each nail. You know me, I love glitter overkill! 

How would YOU wear Party Rockin'?



More Indie Polishes plus a few others!

I received some more indie polishes that I had to share.

Satellite and Ultraviolet from the Polish Bar!! 




I also received three beautiful mini polishes from Lush Lacquer.  I think I will probably eventually buy these all in full size.  They are THAT exceptional!




Also, I used a 20% off one product at a local Bed, Bath, and Beyond that has a beauty section (not all of them do!) and saved a little bit of $$ on Essie's wildly popular "Bikini So Teeny."  I can't wait to get this color on my toes!




I also grabbed Petite's Daze and Pure Ice's Strapless on a Walmart shopping trip.   Daze reminds me of my friend, NJ who adores anything lime green so when I wear it I'll think of her and laugh:)  I think Strapless would be awesome for a sparkling, glitter bombed patriotic mani or pedi for the 4th.  Look out for some of those soon! 



So my polish total is now over 450 bottles and counting.   Next week should bring an order of a couple of full size glitters from Lush Lacquer and a full size polish from Darling Diva Polish as well as my Pinterest minis and buy 2 get 1 free full size polishes from Zoya.  Hopefully, Ill be done for a little while after that because I ran out room 200 polishes ago.
