Rainbow Honey: Hoof Wrassle & Koi Pond

I love OPI's Germany Collection. The color variety is great and it still manages to be a cohesive collection. One color included in the collection is a fiery orange,  Deutsch You Want Me Baby? The swatch photo shows two coats. No topcoat. It's so shiny on its own that it doesn't need one.

Tough As Nails Lacquer Updates

(1) I've updated my blog sale with newly reduced pricing! Check it out: BLOG SALE!

(2) I've added two new colors to the line!

Not a Plain Jane: Available on Etsy.

Not A Plain Jane is a topcoat lacquer, containing hex glitters in varying shades of white and pink, along with a few white hearts. Not A Plain Jane is named for one of my favorite people. She is sophisticated, feminine, completely fun, and known to sprinkle fairy dust in the lives of those she loves.

Over Julep Penelope:

Over OPI Fly (teal) and Butter London Snog (pink):

 43 Quintillion: Available on Etsy.

43 Quintillion is a topcoat lacquer. It contains hex glitters all of the colors you might find on a certain cube-shaped game from the 1980s, which happens to have forty-three quintillion combinations. 43 Quintillions is the life of the party -- she's a little bit wild, a little bit mixed up, and is always working to see how high she can get her bangs and how crimped she can get her hair.

Over China Glaze Happy Go Lucky:

 

 Over China Glaze Manhunt:

 Over Confetti Lonesome Dove:

In honor of the new additions, there is an EXCLUSIVE BONUS FOR FACEBOOK FANS of the Tough As Nails Lacquer Facebook page: take 10% off of your order with the code FBFAN10 at checkout.

Pretty & Polished: Party On My Yacht

Today I have a lacquer that seems to make its way onto many a girl's lemming list -- Pretty & Polished Party on my Yacht (POMY). POMY, it just so happens, is included in one of the three amazing indie polish sets that are up for grabs in my 100 Likes Giant Indie Giveaway. You have until midnight on Friday, July 13 to enter, so if you haven't done so, please get on top of that!

POMY is a white, jelly based lacquer with small hex and bar glitters throughout in blue, gold, pink, purple, and green.

 Bottle macro:

 So gorgeous on the nails! If I had a yacht, I would definitely be sporting POMY while lounging on the deck. For now, I'll have to settle for wearing it while lounging on my couch.

Model City Polish: Celebration

Today I have a very special lacquer to show you -- Model City Polish Celebration. Celebration was made especially for the 100 Likes Giant Indie Polish Giveaway and is featured in 1 of the 3 sets that are up for grabs in the giveaway. 

You will notice that Celebration has a number 1 featured on its label. This is because Celebration will be sold as a limited edition lacquer by Nina of Model City Polish, and the very first one will go to a very lucky Tough As Nails Lacquer reader! Only 10 of this polish are going to be sold so that makes it even more special!

 I won't even attempt to list off the glitters that are included in Celebration and will let the bottle macro speak for itself. This is packed with lots of glitter!

And here is Celebration on the nails! Isn't it pretty? It sincerely is like a little celebration on your nails, and reminds me of what you would find inside of a cracker on New Years Eve.

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.

 Macro bottle shots:

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