Blue Mondays with Kawaii Nail Lacquer: Blueberry and Zoya: Song

I'm just going to dive right into this manicure because I love it so much to waste time typing about it before sharing. This is Kawaii Nail Lacquer Blueberry over Zoya Song. 

 

Zoya Song is from the 2012 NYFW Diva collection, made for New York Fashion Week. It's a shimmery, deep blue.

 

 This is two coats of Song, no topcoat. It's so reflective and almost glows, which isn't something you normally see in a cool color like blue.

And here is Kawaii Nail Lacquer Blueberry, a sheer blue jelly with different-hued blue hexes disbursed throughout.

The finished look has two coats of Song, one coat of Blueberry, and one coat of Seche Vite topcoat. And it's amazing.

I LOVE Blueberry. It's blue, so it would be kind of difficult for me to not love it, but it's very squishy, paired excellently with Song, and has a nice variety of blue-colored hexes in it.

Zoya polishes can be purchased here. And if you use this link and create an account, you get a FREE bottle of Zoya polish.

Breakfast Combo No. 1! A Duo with The Baconian Method and Go Sit On A Egg

The latest addition to the Tough As Nails Lacquer line is a duo. Breakfast Combo No. 1 includes The Baconian Method and Go Sit On A Egg. This playful duo is for sale on the Tough As Nails Lacquer Etsy shop. Shorty size duos are $10 and full size duos are $16. 

 
THE BACONIAN METHOD

The Baconian Method is a brown glitter topcoat. It includes brown, orange, red, black, and white glitters in hex and bar shapes.

Here is one coat of The Baconian Method over one coat of Cult Nails Swanborne, a brown lacquer with a gold shimmer:

GO SIT ON A EGG

Go Sit On A Egg is a delicious almost white but still yellow jelly-based lacquer with gold, yellow, and orange hex glitters dispersed throughout. The poor grammar is intentional, and "Go Sit On A Egg" doubles as a lacquer and a great phrase that a beloved in-black-and-white child actor muttered in one of my favorite television series. 

Here are three coats of Go Sit On A Egg, no undies:

 And here is one coat of Go Sit On A Egg over a white creme:

 I hope that you enjoy the latest additions to my line!

Dollish Polish: The Hero of Time

My brother and I used to take turns playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time all the time when we were younger. And then I got stuck in the water level and had to have him beat the rest of the game for me. But I have a lot of fond memories of Zelda. 

So Dollish Polish's The Legend of Zelda Duo holds a special place in my heart. 

Here is The Hero of Time:

Candeo Colors: Poison Frog

What I should say to myself when a shop I really really really like opens up but I'm on a self-imposed no-buy:

What I actually say to myself:

And that's how I end up with Candeo Colors in my possession. This is Candeo Colors Poison Frog, a shimmery green-based jelly with chartreuse glitter, some holos, throughout.

And here are three coats of Candeo Colors Poison Frog on the nails!

HARE Polish: Heat Plague

So what color would you say this is?

Blue? Navy? Something those lines? Green? Probably not green, right? Well, if you're me and it's almost 2:00 in the morning and you've been awake making polish for the last three hours (available here, BTW), then you might think green. Which is exactly what I did when I was applying a base color to compliment my manicure with my newly purchased HARE Polish Heat Plague.

I didn't realize until the next day that I had used Essie Bobbing for Baubles, a deep, grayed-out, and murky blue instead of what I thought it was -- a deep turquoise Essie Trophy Wife. Oops.

Here is HARE Polish Heat Plague, a deep green jelly-based lacquer with purple, orange, and pink glitter throughout.

Isn't this gorgeous?!?

 And here is my messed up manicure that actually looks pretty great:
