Zoya Prim and jindie nails a history of violets

I decided to kill two birds with one stone this week and use two of my untried polishes. Fortunately I have an insane amount of glitter toppers that I've never tried before. Keeps my manicure's interesting.

Today we'll be taking a look at Zoya's Prim and an indie brand I discovered during an amazing 50% off Black Friday sale--Jindie Nails!

I'm starting to really love glitter toppers, especially with lots of ridiculous glitter sizes/combos; it makes for super awesome nail art without me having to try.

Let's take a look...

ilnp multichrome remix!

I did want to open new/unused polishes every week to wear and swatch, but when your boyfriend asks you to try mixing up some of the super expensive birthday polishes that he bought for you, you must!

On Saturdays that I have to work, I paint my nails every single time. It's great--if I'm too busy and my nails end up going a few weeks without being polished, I can always count on Saturday shift to get myself manicured!

This week, wonderful boyfriend picked ilnp Phoenix and Brilliance. He wanted me to mix some of the glitters, but ones that were very different and I think he made an awesome choice.

Deborah Lippmann, "The Mermaids"

So as you'll start to figure out, I am super cheap. Coupons and sales are my best friend. I do own quite a bit of (what I consider to be) high-end/expensive nail polish that I would NEVER pay full price for. When I hear about a good sale, I have no self control, I must jump on it.

This sentiment ESPECIALLY applies to Deborah Lippmann polishes. If you're patient, you can find pretty amazing deals through her site, or when Sephora has 20% off sales.

Basically all Deborah Lippmann polishes are amazingly gorgeous, unique, fabulous, and worth every penny!

My main goal with this blog is to motivate myself to actually use the polish that I own. It's hard to use everything when you buy 5+ colors at once.

Today, I finally cracked open a couple of Deborah Lippmann's "The Mermaid" collection.

A reason to blog; ilnp multichromes

The real reason that I wanted to start blogging, aside from what I mentioned in my previous post, is the new ilnp.com multichrome collection. I saw someone post a swatch of one of the colors on instagram and immediately died.

I searched and searched for swatches, and was only able to find a few results, seeing as how they're still pretty new.

Because I have the most wonderful boyfriend in the universe, he bought 7 of them for me for my birthday!

These beauties are 0.4 Fl. Oz (12 mL) and come in at $12.50 each. This is pretty steep, in my opinion, especially for an indie, but these polishes are WORTH. EVERY. PENNY.

Posting my swatches (and reviews) after the jumpie jump.

Welcome

Nail polish blogs have been an incredible resource to sway my next purchase, so here I am. I've always taken pictures to catalog my swatches and thought it was about time to share with others.

I recently realized that I own about 500 nail polishes and that my sickness should be shared! I'm going to swatch as many polishes as I can in an attempt to spread the love/crazy to others.

My doom.

By no means am I a writer, blogger, or a manicurist--just someone who loves having fun colors on my fingertips.
