NOTD: OPI DS Illuminate

Hello lovelies!

I hope you are all having a great week so far! I have been fighting a cold so have been trying to rest and get better hence my lack of posts the last couple of days. I was on a nice streak of posting every day too! I am still in recovery mode but wanted to post another birthday polish mani for you! Today's mani is OPI DS Illuminate! I don't tend to do nudes or browns but I was excited for this polish thanks to the holo and the green flash! The flash is much more apparent in the bottle than what I was able to capture but it's still gorgeous! I didn't get a chance to take photos with the actual bottle oops!












I am so happy that it was sunny so that I could get some good photos! The holo is definitely more scattered than linear so no rainbows but I loved it just the same!

Horribly Addicted. . .Yes, Another Haul!

Hello lovelies!

It's that time again, I have another haul post for you already! The worst part is, I will have yet another haul post ready in about a week or so. . .yes I have a problem. I am addicted to nail polish. ;)

 Some great stuff here!

Pure amazingness. I was somehow able to snag almost all of the Enchanted Polishes I wanted from Chelsea's last restock on the EP website! I had to place 3 separate orders and this is just 2 of 3! I got Djinn In A Bottle, Gummy Worm, April 2013, Kids, Future Reflections, Electric Feel and The Youth.

 Different Dimension is my new favorite indie brand! Missi seriously has THE BEST customer service. I placed 2 orders over a weekend and she was so kind to combine shipping for me! Also I jumped the gun and purchased a couple that she had sent me to review so she sent me 2 different ones instead! Seriously love that lady and love her nail polishes! Here is Homeboy, Totally, Ditz, Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here and Money. 

I love when my girlfriend takes me on surprise trips to Ed Wyse! She gets a discount there and let me get whatever I wanted! I kept it pretty tame lol. Here is Jem, Charisma, Thandie, Darcy, Rocky and Josie. 

These are from a few random orders. From Llarowe: Darling Diva Flirt and WingDust Sleepless Summer Nights. From Pahlish I got Dark Parades. From Literary Lacquers I got Laters, Babe. 

Another new to me brand! I got Pipe Dream Polish Candy On The Beach from a blog sale and then purchased Like, Totally from the Etsy store!  

Finally I got Essie Shake Your $$ Maker from a blog sale and OPI Jinx was purchased during my surprise Ed Wyse trip! :) 

Final group shot!

So excited for all of these new pretties! Are there any that you would like to see first? Feel free to leave a comment and let me know! :)

NOTD: OPI Number One Nemesis & Penelope Luz Lucky Fairy

Hello lovelies!

A quick mani for you using more birthday polishes! I started with OPI Number One Nemesis, this color alone is so so so much more awesome in real life than what my photos show! I could have used Penelope Luz Lucky Fairy alone as it is a very buildable jelly but wanted to mix it up a bit! Layering it over NON added more dimension and created a foil look under the jelly! Lucky Fairy is an amazing glitter, I especially love the black glitter mixed in! Enough talking about it, here it is!













I would love to get my hands on some more Penelope Luz! Love this!
