Saint George

Hey guys!

So this is going to be a quickie, but I want to show you Saint George from A-England. Omg seriously, the swatches of this are GORGEOUS! Every one that I have seen it stunning, but I was a little disappointed when I put it on. It looks great in the light, but you really have to find some good light for it to be able to see the sparkle. Otherwise it just looks black almost to me. This was my first A-England, and besides being disappointed by the lack of sparkle, they're awesome polishes!! I really want to get more, I so so bad want Rose Bower and Briar Rose. Every single time I see a picture of either, I just want to die because they're both so gorgeous! Anyways, I got Saint George from my October pal from Adopt A Friend, so I was glad that I didn't pay for it, but I really want to try more. Someday... Ended up swapping this polish for some other ones I am excited to try out and show you guys. Hopefully Alicia, Saint George's new owner loves this more than I did!

Here are a bunch of really sparkly shots that I was able to get of it, hope you all have a great week! xoLeah

Ps. Sorry its so sloppy, I was real shaky that day, then didn't both to clean up before I took pics. lol

Sleigh Ride

Hi there!

Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all those that serve and have served to protect our country!


Have you seen the new Julie G Holiday Gumdrops Collection??? I fell in love with them pretty basically as soon as I saw them! I loved the summer collection so I figured as much that I would love these too, but I love them a little more than I thought I would! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! Every single color! I really recommend this collection if you  haven't gotten them yet. They are all pretty much amazing. Great Holiday colors!


The first color from the collection I want to show you is Sleigh Ride. It's a gorgeous blue texture polish. So gorgeous. Seriously.. It reminds me more of an ornament. Its so pretty.

I had a base coat and ridge filler base coat on and it still stained my nails and my fingers. But I still love it very much!

Here it is with two coats and no top coat. Honestly these are pretty thick and I think you would be just fine with only one coat!


I love this collection so very much. Have you tried the Holiday ones? Do you enjoy them?! If you don't have any rite aids near you, you can purchase the complete set on their website for $23.94 and all orders over $20 are shipped free ( within the us )! Holler!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Cow are You?

Hi there!

Today I want to show you another polish from Polish Yer Hooves. It's called Cow are You? ( Isn't that so cute?! ) from the Star Grazers collection.

I was really excited to try this polish because: 1. Orange is my favorite color and 2. Its Holographic!! Who doesn't love that sparkley goodness? Aliens probly. lolol.

When I got this color it was a little lighter than I was expecting and not as orange- a little more nudey/apricot. But I was still pretty excited to try it. I did three coats but it's still pretty light. I think this would be a perfect color for someone who works in a business which doesn't allow any un natural color nail polish. Its a natural color and the holographic is pretty subtle so you still get the sparklies but you wont be too blingy.

The ladies at work thought I wasn't wearing any polish ( which really never happens ) and when I showed them they thought it was so cool that it looked nude but you could see sparkles!

Here is a picture of all the colors to choose from in the Star Grazers collection.




Let me show you the super cute packaging my mini's came in again really quick. Cute little bag with a little card, some nail confetti and some little cow confetti. Also there was a mini cowtail candy that I ate as soon as I saw it! :D


 Here is Cow are you with three Coats and one coat of top coat. I think three coats is necessary because its so light but you could probly get away with two coats too.

This picture is without flash. It looks mostly like this outside. It was neat. 


With flash. How it looked just about every where else.


The holographic was subtle but still noticeable. I really liked this color. I chose not to have this one scented. She still has a few smells that I really want to try!

 I have a few orange holographics and it amazes me how each one is so different!

You can find Polish Yer Hooves on Facebook and Etsy. Her polishes are about $9 each and don't forget she has tons of smells to choose from if you want to try something different! She is also selling hand painted polish bottles for the Holidays. They are $2 extra and they are SO cute!!! If you know a cow lover you should probly check them out!!! Here is a link the the bottle album so you can take a look.

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Bloody Candy Corn

Hi there!

I wanted to post these on Halloween but Halloween was nutso. I didn't even end up being able to do my regular Thursday post. Boo..

I had to work and we were so slow even though the Halloween weather here really stunk! It was sooo chilly and so wet and rainy. It was a really big bummer. I felt so bad for the kids! Did you and/or your kids dress up? We'd love to see your costumes if you did. Please share them on our FB page!

 I was really feeling the Pixie Dusts for all my Halloween nail art designs. Very fun. I know Leah did just about the same designs but I wanted to share too!

 First I did Candy Corn. I used Zoya Pixie Dusts Solange, Dhara and Tomoko.


Here is a picture of my fatty cat Jello. She had to be in the background! Diva cats...


I also did some bloody drips for some nail art. I used Zoya Jacqueline for the base and Chyna for the bloody drips..



My favorite of the two were the bloody ones. I got a few compliments on them too!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Ms. Bessie and Blue Moon

Recently I was introduced to a new indie brand, Polish Yer Hooves. Today I am going to show you two of her polishes from her Star Grazers collection. Here are all the polishes available in this collection.


The two I am going to talk about today are Ms. Bessie and Blue Moon. Look at the cute way she packaged it all and sent it to me. She gave me some little glitters too, and some cute lil cow shaped confetti, how adorable! 





Ok, so first I will start with Blue Moon. I totally forgot to take a picture with 1 coat of it, but it was very thin, you definitely need at least 2 coats. Such a light and pretty color with lots of holo glitter in it. Sparkles so nicely! The finish is textured slightly, its like a soft grit. Top coat smoothes it out nicely if you don't like the texture. I like it, so I used one coat of top coat and can still feel the grit! :D One of the things that Leigh Anne offers with every bottle is the option to have it scented. She has TONS of scents to choose from. For Blue Moon, I chose to go with Lilac for the scent since thats my favorite smell in life. I was a lil disappointed though because it doesn't smell like lilac to me. It doesn't smell bad, just doesn't smell as close to lilac as I thought it would. 




Blurry to show sparkle! :D


Now, I wanted to save my favorite for last. Ms. Bessie. My favorite color is red and pink. The texture is the same with this as with Blue Moon, and again, I don't mind it. Two coats is also recommended for this one, however, you could probably get away with 1 if you wanted it to be slightly see through, maybe if you used it as a top coat over another color. I also forgot to take a picture of one coat of this too. I was really excited for it to dry so I could smell it, thats why I kept forgetting 1st coat pics. lol Anyways, speaking of which, I did Fresh Cut Roses for the scent for this color and OMG. I CANNOT STOP SMELLING IT!!! Its dead on, smells perfect! I love it so much that I would be ok with every polish that I ever get in life to smell like this. lol This is my second favorite smell in life. SOOOOO GOOD!!! The next morning I woke up and the smell faded slightly, but still smells just as wonderful! 

(Without topcoat)

Blurry to show sparkle


Both polishes go on very smoothly, nothing I disliked about them aside from the scent of lilac, but that is optional, you can choose any scent for any polish. Make sure you check out her Facebook page HERE. Also, be sure to check out her shop HERE. 

Hope everyone enjoyed my post and has a great week! xoLeah

Lemon Lolly

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Did you know how BAD I wanted the yellow Nicole by OPI gumdrop?! I tried to set up swaps and asked in just about every polish group I am in. I even took to twitter. Nothing... I couldn't get it anywhere. I was pretty much sure I would never own it. waaa.

One day last month I had to drop Hubby off early at work because I worked earlier than him.  Later that night he texts me and says. ' You're gonna love me so much forever ' I texted back ' I already do' lolol so corny. He texted me ' I got you something but I kinda want to make you wait till you pick me up to see it.'  Omg. ALL NIGHT?! REALLY?!?! I am not good at waiting. At all. I'm like THE single most impatient person you'll ever meet in life. But I waited.

He gets in the car and shows me what he found me. Nicoly by OPI yellow gumdrop. Lemon Lolly. Are you serious right now? I was NOT expecting that at all.. Not even like 1%!! I was so flippin excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was finally mines! Wooooo! I am SO LUCKY!!!

He found it at Target. He said it was on the gumdrops end cap but there was only one and there was not a spot for it, it was just sitting on the display. 

Let me share this pretty with you. Here it is with two coats. In my personal opinion I think the gumdrop textures are a little more textured feeling with just one coat than the more.


I am so happy that this was everything I was expecting. I really loved this!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!
