Pams and Kin Lucky Street and Collide

Well Happy Wednesday...also known as Middle-of-the-week-boring-Day.  Well, it's been so hot here and we finally got some rain. After Pizza Hut for lunch along with the rain...all I wanted to do was take a nap. Nothing special going on, just been buying polish like crazy online. I have like 5 packages- probably 15 polishes in all, along with some nail sticks so I can start to organize and make a list of my stash. I need to find a bigger place...I'm running out of room for my polish!

Well, with the rain and no sun I can't take good pictures outside so I am bringing some swatches out of the old picture vault. I bought some indies back in March and have been meaning to swatch them but just never got around to it. I finally had a chance to do so but then never posted my review...so that's what I'm going to do now:)

Today I thought I'd show you Pams and Kin, P&K, found on etsy. I only bought one polish, Lucky Street, but she sent me a free big bottle of one of their new colors, Collide, which I also swatched.

This was her letter to me that was stuck to the outside of my bubble wrap! How sweet! This is why I love indie polish!!

I thought I would use a base that was similar to the color of the glitter. I went with Revlon Bonsai, which is a creamy shimmery kind of duochrome green and yellow. I haven't worn this color before, but I really like it. It has a very nice application and went on well with one coat. I used 2 coats of Lucky Street and Seche Vite.

Now, here is Collide, which in retrospect, I should have used a more colorful base so that you could see how beautiful this polish really is. I used SOPI Queen of Everything, which is a very silver, thin polish, but it gets the job done in one coat. This polish is really good for stamping. I love the flakies and holo glitter in Collide. It makes for a unique polish and would be an awesome polish to layer with. Thanks for sending me this polish for free! Can't get better than that!

 You can still get these colors plus MUCH more on her etsy shop here. What I like is she makes just more than glitter colors, and they are reasonably priced at $10 a bottle, which for most indie brands is great. Most indie polishes are going for $15-20 a bottle plus shipping. Anways, check her out and hope everyone has an awesome rest of the week! Here's a little something for you lovely readers:

 Just remember: DON'T LET ANYONE TAKE AWAY YOUR SPARKLE! GLITTER ON!

Boho Spring Glam Nail Art

Good evening all polish ladies!! Hope everyone had a great weekend! We had a great time visiting my family in Arkansas and letting everyone meeting Kade. It was beautiful weather here!
So, I have been working on this post for a couple of days, but keep falling asleep as I'm trying to edit and post my pics lol. Being married/having a family and swatching and blogging is hard to juggle. There's just not enough hours in the day, but I'm still trying...
I had bought these little silver ball nail art thingys at Sally's a while back, but never used them, and when I picked out my main color, Color Club New Bohemian, I knew what I wanted to do.

I started out with Seche Base Coat RidgeFiller then I used Sephora by OPI Queen of Everything at the bottom of my nails- only about half way up. Then I used 2 coats of Color Club New Bohemian over the silver to create a half moon look. I love how easy it was to apply this pastel creme. The second coat was so simple to apply and looked so shiny even without a top coat. I was wanting a silver glitter bottom, but the glitter wasn't thick enough so I used 2 coats of Nerd Lacquer Carbon Allotrope. I let all that dry then used to coat of Seche Vite (a new bottle) I then put a small amount of the Nerd Lacquer on as a glue for the nail art dots. I used my MASH tweezers to get them on my nails. I didn't put a top coat over the nail art because I didn't want any excess top coat to become lumpy.
Overall, I was very pleased with my result, and can't wait to some more nail art and try something different.

Polish Haul and Organization

Hey all ya'll polish lovers! So my weekend was pretty lax. I did some shopping Saturday in Shreveport. I went on a polish adventure and wow...I found some goodies! I got a nice lil haul I thought I'd share:

I got a lil trigger happy, I guess you could say- and even made myself put a few back (that I'm sure I will buy later).  I also noticed that I appear to have a thing for shimmers and iridescents- they all seems to have some kind of light tiny flakies. It's like they just call me name!
With that being said, I had much more polish to add to my growing collection , naturally I wanted somewhere I could store it that wasn't in a box or basket(where it currently is) going. I found these awesome small cabinet thingy that was on sale at Target, so I got 2 for $15 each. I now know after about 20 more polishes I will have to move on to something bigger lol. But, they're cute for now.

Top picture is straight forward and the bottom is from an angle
so you can see the polishes on the other side (otherwise they wouldn't all fit)



Well, our we lost our power as I was in the middle of this post, so I am coming to you this morning. I am starting my new job today!! I am soooo excited and can't wait to get back into society lol- the way things are supposed to be! So, have a great day everyone and "polish to the people!" ha!
