     Sorry, I've been MIA this week. I have been either busy or sick all week and it's really been kicking my butt. Here's a short post of my haul from last month. Amazon and Valentine's Day.

OPI - A Woman's Prague-Ative and My Vampire Is Buff

Color Club - Eternal Beauty and OPI Can't Find My Czechbook

Color Club - Over The Moon, Color Club - Beyond, and OPI Polka.com

And my Valentine's Day present from My Hubby

     So as you can see I got some pretty new polishes to show you guys. I will swatch them as I wear them. And Again sorry I've been elusive this week...but when you're sick you're sick and there's just not much you can do about it. That's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished. 
XOXO

Lac Attack Death Day Party

     Today, I have  Death Day Party from Lac Attack's Magical Musings collection to show you guys. Death Day Party is a smokey purple flake glitter in a pale smokey purple/grey jelly base. Free warning, this polish is another total mind freak. It looks completely different in the bottle. So, I will be showing you a close up in the bottle as well as on the nail so you can see how different they look.

Swatches:
Indoor no flash. 
*Best color representation. 

Indoor with flash. 

Outdoor in sunlight. 
*Note the hint of shimmer. 

Outdoor in shade. 

Closeups:
Outdoor in sunlight. 

Indoor no flash. 
*Note the shimmer in the top left hand corner. 

Close up of the polish in the bottle....mind blown...looks purple in the bottle but shows grey on the nail. O.o

Stalk there Facebook here and order a bottle here

     All pictures are with two coats of Death Day Party, over two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (MBSW) as underwear, and finished with a layer of top coat. This polish is inspired by the magic and wizardry from the world of Harry Potter. And it shows because this polish has a certain magic of it's own. I just love this polish. That said, this polish was a real pain to photograph because try as I might (After 300+ photos, across 2 days) I couldn't get a good picture of the golden/purple shimmer that runs lengthwise down the nail as it's turned from side to side. So you are just going to have to trust me that it has a really pretty shimmer to it. Some of the pictures hint at it...but none of them captured it completely. Sorry about that. But the polish is amazing however bashful the shimmer is in front of a camera. Death Day Party dries quickly and applies easily...a note though...you should probably pick different underwear because MBSW was a real pain in the butt to apply and it was as streaky as could be. But that has nothing to do with Death Day Party. Death Day Party is awesome. Also, how much does it tweak your brain that this polish looks purple in the bottle and grey on the nail....Anastasia (the creator) may be a witch (and I mean that in a good way) because she makes the best polishes, they are gorgeous, surprising, and mind blowing...she must have special nail polish powers to create such pretty polishes. She's the Professor McGongall of nail polish (see what I did there). I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this polish as much as I do. Until next time stay classy and stay polished.
XOXO

Dollish Polish Expecto Patronum

      Today, I have Expecto Patronum from Dollish Polish to show you guys. Expecto Patronum is a milky white polish, with large and small teal Hexagonal glitter in it.

Swatches:
Indoor no flash. 

Indoor with flash. 

Outdoor in sunlight. 

Outdoor in shade. 

Closeups:
Indoor no flash. 

Outdoor in sunlight. 

You can stalk their Facebook here and buy a bottle here.

     All pictures are with three coats of Expecto Patronum (No underwear) and a layer of topcoat. This polish is a thick formula but applies easily and dries fairly quickly. It's also worth mentioning that this polish is as tough as it is pretty. It survived the manicure killer. I was amazed. Pretty and strong (like all of my lovely readers). Can I just say that this polish is awesome. A very pretty polish and it survived the recipe that would have done in a lesser polish. I am in love. I guess, I should also mention that this polish is Harry Potter (more specifically the Expecto Patronum spell) inspired but that's not what drew me to it. Don't get me wrong I like Harry Potter I'm just not a Harry Potter fanatic/devotee/fan girl, just a casual interest is all. Translation: I have the books (and I've read the first three) and all the movies but only saw two of them (the forth one and the last one) in theaters. Now, if someone would make a polish line inspired by: The Walking Dead, Once Upon A Time, or Dexter...well that would be a horse of a different color. I would buy those lines in total. Cuz, I'm a weirdo like that. And that's how I get my fan girl on. No judgments. Anyway, I'm getting distracted again (which tends to happen a lot with me). That's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.
XOXO
