Splatter Nails! Brought to you by Sinful Colors.

This week's post isn't really a review of any polishes because I decided to try some nail art which makes it kind of difficult to tell the quality of the polish.

This super awesome splatter manicure was requested by none other than Mr. Boyfriend in honor of a new game that came out (that I stood in line to get for him last Friday)-- Splatoon!

I allowed him to pick whichever colors he wanted, since he wanted them to match the poster/game case, and they all turned out to be from my vast collection of Sinful Colors.

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!

OPI Solitaire & Alcatraz; Zoya Chita

It's been a couple of weeks since I've painted my nails, and boy have they suffered for it! They are short and broken and sad.

I have been completely uninspired to paint my nails until tonight I finally decided I wanted a textured look and was watching The Little Mermaid. The rest is history.

ilnp Cold Fusion

Happy Sunday! I decided to try one of the new ilnp flakies that I just purchased with my Spring 2015 pre-order.

All I can say is thank goodness for work-day Saturdays. When else would I get my nails done?

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!

butter London: Slapper, HRH, Henley Regatta, Indigo Punk

Once again working on a Saturday and, unfortunately, left to my own devices, I picked my polish for this manicure, so I'm less than thrilled with the turnout. I was skipping through my butter London's, which I own a ton of cause I love London...and I found way too many polishes that I wanted to use.

At least I've had a chance to swatch them now, because butter London's are truly truly stunning (and I have four less completely unopened polishes now...)

The overall result is, in my opinion, a little bit of a hot mess, but I am not the artistically inclined one, I just paint the nails...


Translation: Blame my boyfriend for this mess.

OPI I Carol About You and Essie Set in Stones

Thanks to this damned weather, I am sporting particularly short nails this week. It feels weird and awful and I hate it. However, I do like dark colors on short nails better, so I thought I'd take advantage by doing a simple dark color and glitter manicure. I had a particular Essie purple in mind that I thought I owned--turns out I had bought it way back, but for my sister, not myself--so I ended up with OPI I Carol About You, which is apparently from the 2014 Gwen Stefani holiday collection.
Over top I used one coat of Essie's Set in Stones from the 2011 holiday collection. (Happy Holidays, I guess...)

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...
