Polished Intentions

Happy Sunday everyone!

I was recently contacted by Joanna of Polished Intentions to see if I'd be interested in some of her shop's collection and I jumped at the chance based on the photos on the Polished Intentions Etsy shop.

I received Iceburg Ahead, Embers, and Nightmares and Gemscapes, three creme based lacquers with glitter throughout.

Tough As Nails Lacquer: Spacing Out

Apologies for my lack of posting yesterday. I had a serious migraine that prevented me from doing my nails, which was a real tragedy. But today, I have one of my very own babies to show you -- Spacing Out!

Spacing Out is a black jelly that looks like . . . space. I know, you have to really think about the name to get it. It has silver, blue, and teal glitter disbursed throughout to give it that deep space look, including some holos that I love. (Of course I love it, it's my lacquer). 

Here is Spacing Out on the nails! Check this beauty out!

All photos were taken in natural light, without flash, and show one coat China Glaze Liquid Leather, one coat Spacing Out, and one coat Poshe fast dry topcoat.

I enjoy as much versatility in a lacquer as possible, so Spacing Out can be worn as a layering color or on its own if you're looking for a more jelly-like lacquer.

Spacing Out will be available very, very soon (maybe even this weekend!) so stay tuned for updates!

The Hungry Asian: Sea Creature

Good evening/good morning depending on what time you're reading this post. I was going through swatch photos on my laptop, editing for size and adding my watermark, and needed to upload something pretty after looking at everything for so long. So out of my vault is The Hungry Asian's Sea Creature. The Hungry Asian was one of my first indie purchases so this brand holds a special place in my heart. And has the most adorable heart shaped mini bottles.

Here is Sea Creature, a densely packed, blackish blue-based glitter bomb with tiny flecks of black, blue, and red glitters.

And my manicure using Sea Creature. So dark, a little mysterious, and packed with glitter. Love it!
