Random Nails of the Day

Hi folks!

Press SamplePurchased by Me

With all of the reviews I do, I hardly have time to share the manicures I actual wear during the day.  I figured I could group them all together and share them here once and a while.  I got this idea from my friend Jen at AggiesDoItBetter.com.  This is collection of manicures that I actual wore for the day during the past month that haven't been posted on my blog or social media yet.  Usually, these photos get tossed into a folder on my phone for times when I don't have anything new to post.    But they want to be seen!  So let's give them their own time in the spotlight :)

Disclaimer...some of these polishes may be older, limited edition, discontinued or otherwise hard to find.  I apologize if you fall in love with something and have a hard time finding it.  But by checking out these makers, I am sure you will see something you will love even if you can't find one of these specific polishes.  Get ready for #notd spam!

Yummy Cherry by Misslyn - This is a berry colored creme with fine scattered holographic shimmer and teeny tiny black bits.  It is part of Misslyn's Smoothie Nail Polish line.  It does dry down to a very fine texture but it isn't textured enough for me.  So I added a glossy top coat to make it nice a smooth.  This matches one of my work shirts perfectly! *gift/swap from Lotte*

Yacht Club and Bean There, Done That - For this manicure, I paired Pipe Dream Polish's "Yacht Club", which is a aqua linear holo, with Different Dimension's "Bean There, Done That", which is a super sparkly silver holo flakie with teal and pink shimmer.  I thought both of these polishes went perfectly together, especially with the teal shimmer in Bean There, Done That.  I add a few little #doublesidedots to my pinkie for good measure.  I don't think this Pipe Dream Polish is available anymore and the Different Dimension polish was an exclusive shade for the inaugural Polish Convention in Chicago this past summer.  Sorry!  *purchased myself*

Mother of Dragons by Ever After Polish - This is a gorgeous polish!  The base is a light grey crelly and it is packed with a rainbow of metallic ultrachrome flakies and holographic sparkle.  I am in love with this.  Grey crelly and flakies!  Yes, please.  I did snag this at the Polish Convention but it looks like it might still available on the Ever After Polish site.  This is two coats with top coat.  *purchased myself*

Dainty Jelly Sandwich - I sandwiched one layer of Sephora Formula X "Reactive" between two layers of Zoya "Scarlet" here.  Scarlet is a delicate baby pink sheer polish and Reactive is a microglitter bomb of clear iridescent glitters.  This turned out so lovely and reminded me why Jelly Sandwich manicures are my OG favotites.  *purchased myself*

Rough Diamond (904-117) by Masura - More magnetic polish fun!  This is a striking black and silver magnetic polish from the Masura Precious Stones line.  The base color is black and the magnetic particles are silver.  I used the Masura neodymium magnet to create this look by randomly pulling the magnet over the second coat of polish before it dried.  It is all topped with a glossy top coat.  Fun!  *sent for review* 

My Blood, Your Blood, Our Blood by Anchor & Heart Lacquer - This is a stunning duochrome polish!  It generally looks like a red toned dark metallic purple on your nails but shifts to a fiery orange/red very easily.  The formula was nice and hardly streaky.  I loved this shift when wearing this shade.  I do not know if this is still available or will be restocked, but if you find it, grab it.  See more shades from Anchor & Heart Lacquer on their Etsy shop. *sent for review*

Equinox by Darling Diva Polish - A super stunning fall shade from Darling Diva Polish.  Equinox is a forest green jelly with coppery ultrachrome metallic flakes and holographic shimmer.  This is gorgeous.  Sadly, this two was a Polish Convention exclusive but it is just too pretty not to share.  But they have tons more beautiful polishes on their site, so check them out.  *purchased myself*

The Meadow Grass by Lollipop Posse Lacquer - A cool toned nude linear holographic polish with a slight green flash at certain angles.  I love these shades of holos but then again I love nude polishes.  the formula was great with this one as well, two coats and a glossy top coat here.  I got this polish in the VIP bag at the Polish Convention.  I believe it was part of a collection earlier this year.  I did not see it available on the Lollipop Posse Lacquer site, but there were lots of other pretty holos available.  *purchased myself*

Sparks by Contrary Polish - Another Polish Convention purchase here!  But luckily, this one is not an exclusive for the event and you can still get it.  This ivory crelly is part of the Playing with Fire Collection.  It has golden shimmer and fine gold ultrachrome flakies.  Like I said before, I am a sucker for nude polishes!  I am showing you two coats here with a glossy top coat.  See more at the Contrary Polish site.  *purchased myself*

So...even though I showed you some polishes that will be hard to find, did you still enjoy this post?  I featured some brands that I haven't showed on the blog before and even some new to me brands.  Hopefully, you will see that what these brands have to offer and try them out yourself.  I was not disappointed with any of them!  Let me know if you would like to see posts like this in the future. :)

Smooches!
