Sweet Heart Pastello - Naild'it

Evening everyone,

First, I want to apologize for my last post. I featured Poison Apple by Once Upon a Polish, and did not even realize she closed up shop. SO Sorry. Sad to have seen that shop go, I have several OUP's and I wanted so many more, sighhhs....It just stresses the importance of grabbing an Indie polish when you first see it and fall in love. The shades come and go, and unfortunately the shops do too.

On a happier note, on to tonight's post. I'm featuring Sweet Heart Pastello by Naild'it. This color is a Mei Mei's Signatures exclusive, and can only be purchased at the following link HERE.

This is an amazing awesome pistachio colored polish. VERY VERY unique in color. It is unlike any other shade I own.

This is three coats of Sweet Heart Pastello on it's own. I did have to dig the hearts out on this polish, but that was pretty simple. Insert the brush in the bottle and give it a few swirls, and 9 times out of 10 a heart will stick. I just placed them with a toothpick. 

This polish has super pretty green, red, gold, and lavender glitters. Some surface very brightly and others say inbeded in the polish like a sandwich. I love these types of polishes, you get a lot of depth. 

Since this had such a pretty green and red, I thought it was perfect for my Holiday Polish swatches for this week. So Super Pretty. 

I love the shimmer that is buried in this polish. You can see the shimmer in the above picture on my ring finger, so very delicate and pretty.

So super pretty and shimmery. I look forward to wearing this to work tomorrow. My favorite part is the color combo of the glitters and all the different shapes. 

What do you guys think? Does anyone have this one in there collection? I ended up liking it so much more than I originally thought I would. I love surprises like this. 

As of today this is still available and in stock at the above link in the beginning of the post. Make sure you stay tuned for more Holiday polishes that will continue until Christmas Day!

*This polish was sent to me for my honest review*

Once Upon a Time I had a Poison Apple :)

Hi Guys,

Tonight I have a really fun polish for you. This polish is from Once Upon a Polish and it's called Poison Apple. All the polish I own from Once Upon a Polish are amazing. I did not know much about this Indie Polish maker when I originally ordered from them, it was just on order on a whim. I'm really glad I had that whim, they are fabulous to say the least.

UPDATE: When I originally posted this I had no idea that Once Upon a Polish closed up shop :( So sad to hear this, thus this polish is no longer available.

This is sparkly in your face glitter, and I love it!!! For those of use that have spent ALL our money on gifting presents for Christmas and have no money left for polish for ourselves, a polish like this is PERFECT. It's shiny and red 'Rudolph like', but not part of any 'Christmas' collection.  This is 2 coats of OPI Off Dreaming of Red with two coats of Poison Apple. Kelly helped me pick the base coat on this one :)

This was a polish I purchased months ago for no special reason, and it's perfect for Christmas. Tomorrow I'm going to the Mall in St Louis with my sweetie and we are having a shopping spree day. I wanted to wear something special. Kelly is feeling so much better, us going to the mall and shopping will be so fun. We split up and shop for each other, and then meet up at the end and head home lol. 

I want to again thank all of you that have asked about Kelly and how he is doing. He is recovering well, and I am excited about kicking back and enjoying the up coming Holiday with him. I feel really blessed this Holiday Season to have him here.

This is going to be so fun to wear for the day tomorrow. I start my day out early working from 7am til noon, and then Kelly picks me up and takes me off to St Louis (about an hour and half away) to shop our heads off lol. I'm so excitied about it!!! I need to pick up a few last minute surprises for him! 

Hope you guys like this!!! Stay tuned as the blog will be filled with Holiday Themed polishes all this week, and next week until Christmas. 

I would love to hear what you guys think about this. Please leave your comments below, I love to hear what you guys have to say :)

Naild'it - Don't Be Blue

Hi,

I'm back with a gorgeous polish for your viewing pleasure. This is Don't Be Blue by Naild'it. I haven't done my nails in a long while since my Jet nails on Nov 18th, close to a month!!!  I finally got my nails done tonight :) This is exactly what I needed. Thanks Andrea!!! I was so thrilled to find this in my nail mail this past week.

UPDATE: This polish is a one of a kind. This was created just for me by Andrea, the owner of Naild'it, to help me get through everything that has happened over the past few months. It can not be purchased anywhere.

I promised you guys that after my husbands heart attack that I would do my best to get back here and bring the blog back to normal. This is my start. I have a bunch more Naild'it to show you over the next few weeks.  Stay tuned between now and Christmas for some major polish :)

This is 2 coats of MACS Blue India layered with 2 dabbed on coats of Don't Be Blue. The sparkle on this one is outta this world! 

Don't look too close at my cuticles, they really are in bad shape. This is probably the worse I have ever seen them lol. Once I start doing my nails more frequently, they will bounce back.

I love the large iridescent hex glitters in this. My pictures can not capture the colors that flash off the larger hexes.

I will be wearing this for work tomorrow :) I love it!

The scattered smaller black glitters and square iridescent glitters make this different then all other Indies I own. 

It was easy to apply with the *dabbing method*. The glitters stuck to the brush well and application was a breeze. Hope you guys like it - Thanks for coming to visit!

*This polish was created for me and can not be purchased at this time*

Monster Mash in November lol

This afternoon I have another fabulous Candy Lacquer Polish to show you guys. This was part of the Halloween 2012 collection and is named Monster Mash :) 

I'm actually at work right now. I started back at work yesterday and today will probably be our busiest day ever. I wanted a cute polish for the day since a lot of people see my hands at my job. I have all fall colors on for Thanksgiving, so this combo was perfect!

The base color is three coats of Kelly Green from Claire's. This is a fabulous jelly polish. It kind of reminds me of a lighter version of Nars Zulu. It is not  as black green as Zulu, it's a Kelly green. Plus, it's my hubby's name (Kelly) so how can I get any more perfcet then that lol.

Many of us in the U.S will be spending the tonight pre cooking for Thanksgiving. I work til 6PM, but I too will be over my stove this evening baking and prepping dishes as soon as I get home. I do not wear polish during cooking (this will come off just before I start cooking so I can enjoy it at work all day).

Polish and cooking should never be mixed. There is too great a chance that something will get into the food. Especially with a fine glitter polish like this, one glitter can ruin a meal lol. 

Check out this pretty close up of the glitters in this polish...

After I finish cooking tonight, I will then put on my polish of choice for Thanksgiving day. I do not do any food prepping on Thanksgiving day itself. All of my dishes are pre done in the refrigerator the days before and then just pop them in the oven. Kelly carves the turkey and does the last minute prep stuff (slicing bread, warming graving etc) so I will have polish on for Thanksgiving Day. It shouldn't pose a health hazard or anything hahaha. Stay tuned to see what it is.... 

What do you guys plan on wearing for Thanksgiving and Black Friday? I would love to hear your thoughts below in the comments.

Candy Lacquer Nail of the day...

As most of you know, I'm pretty much obsessed with Candy Lacquer Nail polishes. I own so many, I have lost count lol. As you many of you know, I'm continuing on with my Halloween/Fall polishes until the end of November.

Today is one of my favorites so far. This quickly pushed into my top rated polishes for Candy Lacquer. This is Candy Lacquer Witches' Brew. The base color I used is OPI's Vampire State Building, one of my favorite older black label OPI's. This is two coats OF VSB with two coats of Witches' Brew on top. 

To me, this reminds me of a gorgeous wine. It was stunning to say the least. The glitters in this are a fine matte orange, true purple and black. Once I added this over the wine color of VSB, it was really amazing. This just shouted fall colors to me! 

This is definitely not just a Halloween Polish as you can see above. I am so glad I added this to my collection before it was gone. Since Halloween is passed, it's unfortunately not being sold anymore.

This polish was a little on the thick side, so I did thin it with 5-6 drops of nail polish thinner.

These type of polishes look so pretty close up. I love how each color stands out on it's own. 

So what do you guys think of this one? Good or Bad? And if you hate, please let me know why? Love to hear everyon's thougts. 

Also, please stay tuned for another post mid day tomorrow. I do have work and a TON of Thanksgiving Day cooking to do tomorrow, but regardless I will still have fun nails to see!
