Naild'it Candy Corn

Yesterday was my eye surgery, and I wanted to have on a fun mani to help cheer me up. It's starting to feel like Fall here in Missouri, so I wanted my nails to reflect that. I decided on Naild'it Candy Corn. I picked this one up awhile back and was waiting for the perfect time to use it. 

I was really undecided on a base color for this. I tried a few on a swatch wheel and nothing was feeling right. I decided to go to my trusty MAC Light Affair, when in doubt polish lol. I had this same issue when I swatched out Once Upon a Polish's Queen of Hearts, and MAC Light Affair came to the rescue for me then too. You can see that swatch HERE.

I love how this turned out. 

The colors in this polish are fabulous, and so Fall-like. The glitters are shiny copper penny bronze, mustard yellow, rusty orange, and black. It has both round, hex, and small bar shaped glitters. This polish also contains that large matte dot glitter, that those who follow my blog know I LOVE. I also noticed that this has large matte hex shaped white glitter as well, bonus. I'm a sucker for chunky glitters in a polish. The larger glitter do not show in the bottle shot below, but can be seen in the swatch pictures.

This polish is so super bling bling. Yeah, I said 'bling bling', lol!!!

I feel like this polish was just perfect for kicking off the Fall season for me, which is my favorite part of the year. I love all the earth tone colors of Fall, the smell of fireplaces starting to burn, the fresh crisp smell of the air outside and Halloween approaching.

Check out the big white matte hex glitter in the close up below that I mentioned above. You can also see a small peek of the large matte round glitter in the bottm right hand corner of my picture. Gahhh, I just love it!

What do you guys think? What polishes are you going to use to kick off Fall?

Naild'it Fall Flowers

I wanted to let you guys know what has been happening in the life of ThePolishHoochie. First, I added new page tabs (look up lol). Just some fun stuff to try an improve things around here some. I also want to create a new page header, so that is coming up as well.

 

Also, I announced this on Facebook and wanted to share this here too for those of you that don't use Facebook. I won't be doing a lot over the next week or so. I have eye surgery scheduled for Thursday. Long story short, it's a stye gone bad that I have to have removed. I had this done on my right eye earlier in the year, and unfortunately the same thing developed on my left eye. The surgery was pretty traumatic the first time around, so I kinda know what to expect this time around.

All the giveaways will go as planned (every 200 followers here and every 100 likes over at Facebook) they will just take me a little extra time to get up and together. The glare of the PC hurts my eye a lot, so I do things in stages. Hopefully I heal up fast and I will get things back on track as fast as I can.

 On to the nails....

Lucky I had this polish already swatched, and can share it with you all now. Today I have a super sweet polish from Naild'it. I purchased this on Naild'it's last restock on Etsy.  The flower glitters got me lol. 

This is 3 coats on it's own. 

This is super shiny and pretty. It has an awesome golden shimmer that I am in love with. These are the perfect colors for fall. I love the flower glitters too. I did not have to fish for them, they easily stuck to the brush, but I did have to place them. Usually larger glitters are best placed. 

I love the small black glitter spread through out this as well, it makes it look so fall like to me...does that make sense lol.

 

I do love it and hope you guys do too. What do you guys think about this one, love to hear things both positive and negative.

See you guys soon :)
