China Glaze Of Course

     Today I have Of Course! from China Glaze's Texture collection to show you guys. Of Course! is a bright blue matte texture polish. This one is my favorite from the collection. For a couple of reasons. One because it's blue (my fave color) and two because it wears the best IMO. Anyway with out any further ado. Here is Of Course!

     In all the pictures above I used two coats of Of Course! and no top coat. This polish applies easily and dries quickly. A note though, like with all texture nail polishes it can be a pain to remove. Make sure you have some pure acetone polish to remove it with or it's going to take you a while. But over all I really like this polish and now I kind of want the other texture polishes in this line. I actually like how they aren't sparkly like all the other texture polishes. That makes them more interesting....plus they look like bumpy jelly beans which is kinda awesome. Anyway that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

Quick Franken-Polish Creation Post

     So, usually I wouldn't post pics of the Franken-Polish's I have made (I have about 17 of them). But today I just have to show you guys the polish I made last week. Because, I am just in love with it and all it's dark a sparkly, Valkyrie trance inducing, beauty. Not to toot my own horn but...I did good this time. There are others I have liked...but this one is freaking awesome. I made two at the same time (both green with glitter in them). One is a lighter olive with gold glitter and the one I am going to show you is dark jade(ish) green with green and gold glitter in it. I named it 'The Dark One' for two reasons. One pretty obviously because it was the darker of the two I created, and two because it reminds my of my favorite character on Once Upon A Time (Rumpelstiltskin aka 'The Dark One'). Anyway Enough of my blathering. Here's my Franken 'The Dark One.' Enjoy.

    I used two coats of 'The Dark One' and a layer of top coat. So what do you guys think? Are you loving it. Because, I so am. I just wish I had paid better attention when I was making this and recorded what I used so I could make more...but alas I did not. There will only ever be one bottle (insert sad panda face here). Sorry, if that sounds braggadocios but I am enamored with this polish. Which means I will have to wear it strategically. Anyway that's all I have to show you guys today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.

Zoya Storm

     Today, I am going to show you guys a swatch of Storm by Zoya. I have had this polish for a while but I haven't worn it because...well it just never made the cut honestly. But I was feeling like dark polish today so it finally made the cut. Yeah so black polish isn't exactly summer...but hey I can't wear most of the neons and bright colors that other (read this as not white as a ghost) people can. So, I rock dark colors year round. Anyway, here's Zoya Storm; it's a black polish with torn holographic glitter in it.

     For all the shots above I used 2 coats of Storm and a layer of top coat. The formula applied easily and dried quickly. Over all no complaints from me. It even wore for a long(ish) time (read this as 3 days) without chipping. Over all I really like this polish. It's very  pretty and it makes my Valkyrie heart do little flip flops. Because as you know there is nothing more appealing to a Valkyrie than something sparkly and for me specifically to be dark and sparkly. Anyway that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time. Stay classy and stay polished.
