Blue Mondays with Shimmer Polish Liana

So I hadn't ever won anything. Like a contest or the lotto or really even gambling. I'm just not lucky that way. But recently, I was the unexpected and very happy winner of a Shimmer Polish raffle! For winning, I got to select two polishes of my choice for a penny. One of my picks was, of course, a beautiful blue glitter bomb, Liana. All of Shimmer Polish's lacquers are named after women and I think it gives them character. 

To start off my manicure, I opted for one of my favorite blues -- Maybelline Color Show Sapphire Siren. This is a total steal and I bought mine at Meijer (a midwest superstore) but I've seen this line at a bunch of different places. I think this was $2.99. No more than $3.99. It's a gorgeous blue creme with the best consistency. Here is Sapphire Siren:


And here is Shimmer Polish Liana:

And here is only ONE coat of Liana over Sapphire Siren. Can you believe the coverage?!?

Dollish Polish: Sweet Dreams Are Made of Glitter

I had the opportunity to pre-buy some Dollish Polish lacquers from Overall Beauty a little while back and one of those lacquers was Sweet Dreams Are Made of Glitter, a shimmery mint-based polish with pink, blue, magenta, and purple glitter disbursed throughout. It arrived in the mail about a week ago and I've been itching to try it out ever since then.

It's Blue Monday on the blog and I have Pretty & Polished Peace Camp. 
Peace Camp is from a relatively recent collection by Pretty & Polished and has white, yellow, and blue matte hexes in a shimmery pale blue base.

My ring finger shows three coats of Peace Camp no undies and the rest show two coats of China Glaze Flyin' High:

Blog Sale!

I'm having a blog sale, y'all! My polish collection is getting out of hand and as much as I love all of those little glass bottles, it's time to let go of some of them to make room for the new.

Lush Lacquer: Hottie Tottie

Lush Lacquer's Hottie Tottie is one that I purchased awhile ago but haven't gotten around to using for one reason or another. But after the recent arrival of A England Elaine, a beautiful purple creme, I decided it was time to break out Hottie Tottie as a topcoat.

Hottie Tottie has blue holographic hexes and small blue and fuchsia hexes in a purple-hued base.
 And here is one coat of Hottie Tottie layered over one coat of Elaine:
