Sinful Colors' Cinderella & Darling Diva's Holiday

I would like to note that for the first time, I've actually come back to a draft of my post in order to completely change my review of a color. This manicure was for Lazycole to enjoy her week off in between jobs!
 

jindie nails' Candy Land Remix

So, the reason I've been MIA recently is because I was in the process of job hunting, but it's finally over. Now that I've finished my last day at my current job, I can finally celebrate!!!!

I'm starting a new job and am super excited for the bigger and better things coming my way. With that in mind, today's manicure is a super fun confetti-esque celebration!

Butter London Disco Biscuit

It sure has been a while. I've been too overwhelmed/busy to paint my nails or blog about it. All will be revealed in time... but for now, here is my manicure from ~2 weeks ago? probably?

ilnp Spring 2015 - Mega (S), Timeless Vow, Happily Ever After, and Hush

Today I have half of my most recent ilnp.com order. I've decided to separate them because these 4 were pre-orders from the new Spring collection, whereas the other 4 are just more of the incredible amazing flakies. I'll try to swatch those next.

Before I begin, I'd like to just make a very brief statement about the CC info breach that Barbra (owner/creator of ilnp) has experienced. She had issues in February, hired techs, beefed up security, and still experienced a breach again during her major pre-order sale. My card info was compromised, though I had absolutely no hassle with my bank to get everything sorted, so I'm honestly not too bothered about it.
 I would like to say, however, that upon finding out it was happening to her the first time and again this time, Barbra personally contacted everyone [potentially] effected, explained what happened, apologized, and ultimately decided to only accept paypal in the future because she doesn't want to put her customers in that position again. I will 100% purchase from her again. She handled everything with so much respect that I couldn't possibly ask for more from a person or a company.

That out of the way, let's get to the purdies.

Color Club (holographic) Eternal Beauty & Halo-Graphic .. Ciate Main Stage & Talent Scout

Fortunately, once again, today's manicure is designed by my boyfriend. I apparently have a really horrible sense of colors and am feeling fairly uninspired on my own.

This manicure includes two linear holographic polishes--if you are not familiar with the term, just you wait! Here's hoping for some Spring soon!

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.
