Deborah Lippmann - Mermaid's Dream

This polish was on my lemming list for so long that I finally just caved in & bought it! It was a bit pricier than what I'm used to spending, but hey, everybody's gotta splurge sometimes right? Anyways, it was totally worth it - this polish is gorgeous!! It's a sea-foam green foil with small blue hexes and holo micro glitters. Simply stunning! 

This is 3 coats of Mermaid's Dream with 2 coats of topcoat.

KBShimmer - Elle

I'm seriously loving grey polishes lately.. and this is the best one yet!!! It's a gorgeous grey jelly loaded with hexes of pink, white, & holographic silver, along with squares of white & silver. An absolutely stunning combination!! In the bottle it looks pretty, but on the nail it is just.. WOW.

Pretty & Polished - Tart

Pretty & Polished Tart is one of the very first indies I ever bought back in May 2011, and I'm finally just getting around to wearing it now (crazy right?!). It's a beautiful lilac jelly with hexes of gold, blue, white, fuchsia, and the occasional black. I'm very happy to report that even after all this time there were no curling glitters - everything was perfectly flat & smooth!

This is 3 coats of Tart with 1 coat of topcoat.

Happy Hands Nail Polish - Feliz Navidad, Lady Goodman, & I Am Jack's Broken Heart

Hey y'all! Today I have three beauties from Happy Hands Nail Polish to show you. Application on these was great, but they do have a very strong smell. It reminds me of the way nail salons smell (or at least the way they used to - I haven't been to one in a while). Anyways, their beauty far out lasts their scent. I absolutely love these polishes & would highly recommend them!


First up is Feliz Navidad, a nude crelly with gold & holographic pink hexes. I'm not usually a fan of nude polishes, but there was something about this one that appealed to me. Probably because the glitters complement the base color so perfectly. If you're a fan of the "mannequin hands" look, then this is the polish for you! This was my first time wearing a nude polish (I'll try any nail polish color at least once), but in the end I'm still not a fan of nudes - so I decided to let this one go (it is currently available in my blog sale here). 

This is 3 coats of Feliz Navidad with 2 coats of topcoat.

Next up is Lady Goodman - a lavender crelly with holographic purple squares, gold hexes, & holographic pink hexes. I love this one sooo much!! Not only am I obsessed with the base color & the glitters, but the name Lady Goodman comes from one of my favorite movies - Almost Famous! 

This is 3 coats of Lady Goodman with 2 coats of topcoat.

And lastly, I Am Jack's Broken Heart is a deep red-toned purple jelly with squares of aqua, purple, & holographic fuchsia, along with tiny hexes of silver & red. I think it's safe to say that this is my ultimate favorite of the bunch!! Once again I love the color combo & the name! I will admit that Fight Club isn't one of my favorite movies, but I do love the ending when they play the song "Where Is My Mind?" by The Pixies!

This is 2 coats of I Am Jack's Broken Heart with 1 coat of topcoat.

I purchased these from the Happy Hands Etsy shop for $10 each.
