Fair Maiden Polish Review and Swatches - Evening Primrose
Thursday, April 9, 2015
Hey guys!
Today I have one of the polishes from the Garden Party Collection by Fair Maiden Polish.
Yellow isn't a favorite color of a lot of people in regards to nail polish but I really love it!
The blue flash in this polish, on me, just didn't come through all that well. Up close you can see it more but not so much from further away. Either way it's a really lovely spring polish.
This is out of stock right now but I know Fair Maiden will be re-launching this collection, plus one new addition to the collection and all the core polishes, on April 18th at 12 pm CST!
**Three thin coats. Thinner formula but felt a little thick by the third coat. Shown with HK Girl Top Coat**
Did you manage to get any of these when they released?

SV by Sparkly Vernis Review and Swatches - Palm Trees at Night Collection
Monday, April 6, 2015
Hello my friends!
How was your weekend? My husband and I drove to Jacksonville on Saturday to visit my parents and we did a little shopping while we were there! Gainesville is really lacking stores so it was a real treat to shop a bit while we were in town.
Today I have three of the polish from the new collection from Sparkly Vernis! The collection is called Palm Trees at Night and I just love the name! There are five polishes in the collection. The other two, not shown today, are Pink Starfish and Breeze and Wave Sounds. Click here for information about the collection in it's entirety.
Picture time!
**Creamy, blue-green holographic leans cyan and teal**
***This polish could be a one coat holo but I opted for two coats just to even out the ridges that were more apparent than I want them to be! No staining issues. This is a thicker formula but it's mean to be a holo that doesn't require many coats. Shown with HK Girl Top Coat***
**outdoors in direct late afternoon sun**
**Translates to The Little Seashell - multicolored flakies topper in a clear base**
***I love a good flakie topper. This beauty has SO many colors in it. I couldn't find my black polish anywhere so I wasn't able to try it over a basic black but I know it would be stunning. Even over the bright teal polish it really stands out on it's own. Shown with only one coat but adding a second coat would kick up your polish even more!***
**shown below with a matte top coat**
**warm, medium-to-dark pink holographic with a hint of coral - dries matte - inspired by the diverse underwater ecosystems that house more than 25% of all marine life**
***SV has a knack for making one coat or nearly one coat holos so I wanted to make sure to share at least one set of photos with just one coat. In these photos you will see the polish shown with one coat and HK Girl Top Coat. This is a thicker formula in order for it to be one coat. No issue with staining.***
**outdoors indirect sun**
Which one is your favorite? Did you pick up any from the new collection? Do you plan to?

A Study in Polish Review and Swatches - Springtime In The Shire
Thursday, April 2, 2015
Happy Thursday guys!
We are so so close to the weekend...I have a busy weekend...so I'm ready for it!
A good busy weekend because I get to see my mom! Yay!
What are your plans?
Have a great weekend and enjoy the photos!
**Three thin coats - no issues with application or formula - topped with HK Girl Top Coat**
A Study in Polish is one of my favorite brands with glitter polish. I'm always in love with the glitter filled beauties. The formula is always perfection and never too much trouble to remove. Also I recently snagged the entire Avengers collection when it was being discontinued. I haven't tried them yet but am excited to!
This Hobbit inspired beauty is in stock by the way!

Mid-week Coffee Break - Mascara, Crème Brûlée, and Wall Art
Wednesday, April 1, 2015
Happy mid-week coffee break!
I have some fun and fabulous finds for you to take a little break in the day and look through.
I wanted to quickly tell you or reiterate something I mentioned in my Monday post. My four days a week posts may be changed to three days a week. Not all the time but I'm thinking of the of the time. I'm working a full time job now and needless to say...I don't have nearly as much free time as I did prior to my job!
I'm thinking Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be my posting days.
If you have any opinions on that please feel free to share if you would prefer different days for posting!
Now let's get to the good stuff!
This is so darn cute. All the random and possibly stressful thoughts disappear once the coffee mug is hot. Love it!
This spunky wall art and dresser!
This beautiful rug...such a lovely pink!
I don't usually put makeup on here but I received this to try out from Influenster and I was/am blown away by it. It's more expensive that my normal mascara but once it runs out I will be buying this! It didn't flake or clump. It was natural but still striking. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up! (Name that movie quote!)
Um...this.
Yep another Harry Potter drink...I just think these are so darn cute and I love a good theme drink!
Did you see anything you love in this round of coffee break?
My favorite pick is probably...I can't choose. Whoops.

I received the mascara complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes
