My first Picture Polish

I found Picture Polish Frosting on a nail polish sales group on Facebook and picked it up. I has really been wanting to try out their polishes for a long time and I LOVED Frosting.

I got the polish in and the first thing I noticed was that there were heart glitters that I hadn't noticed in the swatches I'd seen online. I don't know how I missed them, but I did.

*Note: These polishes are not the normal 15ML bottles. They are 11ML. That doesn't seem like much of a difference but they really are quite a bit smaller. I didn't know that when I bought.

This really is a very pretty polish but OMG. It was a HUGE pain in the butt to apply. I fought with this polish for ever before I finally decided to go ahead and try some polish thinner to see if that helped.

There are SO many heart glitters in this polish that it makes it hard to apply and when I started my polish was also very thick and gloopy. Most indie polishes have a few of the largest glitters. Enough that if you look for them you can have one on each nail and that's fine. This polish had so many that you couldn't not get them. I have several nails that are just big piles of hearts because I could not get away form them and they all just dropped and piled up and I couldn't get them to spread.

After I added the thinner it got a little better but I still had a lot of the hearts coming out and that still made it difficult to apply. I'll end up trying this polish again soon and see if it works better next time but this go round, I was not overly happy with it. It's still pretty but it's just a huge fight to put on.

I think this may be the first time ever I have complained about too much glitter in a polish. Normally, I love it. I think if the hearts had been 1/2 the amount or even 1/4 it would have been much prefect. I really hope that some of the other polishes are not the same way because I'd really like to try a few others from this brand.



This is the 3rd polish that I am testing for my OPI Glitter Off base Coat so you will be seeing this one again and I should have that review up by Friday. (probably sooner)

Green on Green

These last couple weeks have been crazy. First we made a last minute trip to Indiana (12 hour drive with a toddler : / ) and then drove home less than 48 hours later. Then, just a couple days after getting home, I ended up sick for 2 days and then my 2.5 year old got sick. Its been a mess. Up every night several times with him. Crazy on and off fever. On top of that, his doctor game us meds to help him and the antibiotic that is supposed to help with the fever made him sick the first time he took it. It's been rough.
I went at least 2 weeks with the same horribly chipped mani and when I finally removed it, my nails were awful. Broken and peeling. So I just filed them down and put Growth Spurt on and that's all lI had on for a few days. I finally did my nails again a couple days ago.

This is what I did. Just some simple stamping. This is Sinful Colors Envy stamped over Pistache. I used Moyou London Fairytale plate 06. I love stamping. It's simple but looks really nice.  And since I really did not have the patience to do anything too crazy, it was perfect. 


I finally found OPI's new litter Off base coat. I had to order it online. I called and asked at all of my local stores that carry OPI and none of them have it yet. Amazon didn't have it for quite a while. They finally got it a few days ago and I ordered it. I'm hoping to get it in some time early next week. it shipped yesterday morning and normally I get stuff pretty quickly so I'm hoping by Tuesday or Wednesday.  I haven't even got it in yet and I don't want to use litter polishes because I can't stand the thought of the removal. I'm really going to be upset if this stuff isn't good. lol. I will have a review up as soon as I can after getting it. I want to try a few different polishes and see how well it does with all of them before I post.
