Luxe Lacquers: July Box Review

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with a 2nd post for you all today and I'm super excited about it! 

Let me introduce you guys to a new to me indie brand called Luxe Lacquers! Luxe Lacquers is a indie subscription box where all polishes are 5-free, cruelty free, and on trend with the latest colors at an affordable price. I have the July box to show you guys today so let's get the polish! (This post is picture heavy).

*All swatches with 1 layer of HK Girl Fast Drying Topcoat unless otherwise stated

I'll start this review with the polish Poppy!

Lacquer Legion: On Holiday

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe that June is basically over already? Seriously, where did this month even go? I feel like all I've done is work and I haven't even done half off the things that I said I was going to do this summer. Heck, I haven't even finished unpacking all of my stuff from school yet....Blah!

Anyways, let's get to today's nails!

Today's Lacquer Legion post is all about being "on holiday!"

FingerFood Theme Buffet - Neon

Hello lovelies!

Hopefully you all are having a lovely weekend! Mine's been filled with working and swatching, I can't wait to show you what I've been swatching. But you'll find out tomorrow!

Anywho, onto the nails!

I'm back down to nubbins again and this time I had to round off all of my nails because of a break. I'm embracing them but I miss my long, square nails /:

Indie Fridays!: I Love Nail Polish - A.C. Slater + Grape Alicious

Hello!

Look! An Indie FRIDAYS post on a Friday! Yay, for being on top of things! I wrapped up my Love-A-Bull Lacquer collection last week so this week I'm going to be showing you guys my only 2 polishes from I Love Nail Polish! I actually won these in a giveaway from Jen over at The PolishAholic last year and I'm finally getting around to actually swatching them!

*All swatches shown with 1 coat of HK Girl Fast Drying Topcoat.

Let's get to the polish!

This first polish is called A.C. Slater!

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Black & White - Week 4

Ello lovelies!

I'm back with my post for The Nail Challenge Collaborative Black & White month! This is my final design for this month. I only posted 3 designs since I joined during this month and didn't have time to put together another look but starting next month, expect 4 of these posts a month! And let's not go back and count how many times I used the word "month" in that explanation....

Anyways, onto the nails!

This design is so different from all the other designs I did for this theme and I like it!

Golden Oldie Thursdays: Gradient

Ello lovelies!

It's time for a Golden Oldie Thursdays post which will also be my last. The challenge is continuing on and you can join this Facebook group to keep up with it but I won't be following it anymore. I have plans to join other challenges in July and I can't keep up with all of them so something had to give. I promise that'll remember to show my old polishes some love every once in a while though!

Anywho, moving on from my farewell speech...

This is my favorite color blue to wear on my nails!

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Gold

Hello lovelies!

Guess what I just realized! I'm seeing Paramore and Fall Out Boy in concert in a week! I'm so excited. I haven't seen Paramore live in almost 3 years, it's been so long!

Anyhoo, onto the nails!

You know those days when you have a really cool idea so you try putting it on your nails and it doesn't turn out how you pictured? Yep, 100% these nails. Meh.

Tri-Polish Challenge: Broken Layers

Hello lovelies!

Today is the last day with this month's current Tri Polish Challenge colors. Boo! I liked this month's colors.

Anywho, onto the nails!

Today's design is super simple and quick to do!

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Brown

Ello lovelies!

How was everyone's weekend? I'm excited to have a day off from work today. I've been slacking on painting my nails lately so it's all I plan on doing today!....and possibly color my hair, maybe, we'll see about that one....

Anywho, onto the nails!

More Doctor Who nails! :D

Hello lovelies!

I feel like I haven't been around the blog much lately and I'm super behind on reading blogs /: Whoops. Luckily, today is my last day in a long streak at work so I'll spend my day off tomorrow catching up!

Anyways, onto the nails!

I bought new nail art brushes and I love them so much! :D

The Nail Art Guild: The Sea

Ello!

I have something different for you guys today! There's a new nail art group on Instagram called The Nail Art Guild! They post every 2 weeks with a different theme and it seemed like fun so I wanted to play along! I'll have my Indie "Fridays" post up tomorrow or Sunday.

Onto the nails!

This group really only posts on Instagram but I really liked these nails so I wrote up a blog post!

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Green

Hello lovelies!

I have some quick posts for you all today! I worked an earlier shift than I normally do yesterday and then went to a friend's house to paint some of my friends' nails! (I even remembered to take pictures and might even have a blog post about it coming up sometime soon!.....maybe (; ). But I may have stayed out a bit later than I was planning on....whoops....

Anyhoo, onto the nails!!

I really, really, really, really, REALLY love how these nails turned out!

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Black & White - Week 3

Ello!

I'm back with another post for The Nail Challenge Collaborative!

Onto the nails!

There is a 99.9% chance that I wasn't fond of how these nails turned out. So following in the footsteps of The Mercurial Magpie, I "fairy dusted that shit!" (;

Golden Oldie Thursdays: Free Choice

Hello lovelies!

Today is the 2nd to last post for the Golden Oldie Thursdays challenge. Blah, I'm going to have to figure out what to post on Thursdays now.

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with my N.A.I.L Linkup post for you all day! This will be the last of these posts for a bit since next month is the Oh Mon Dieu 2 Challenge!

Anyhoo, onto the nails!

I think I figured out how to do something cool and I like it! (;

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Blue

Ello lovelies!

How is everyone's week going? Mine's been pretty uneventful between working and trying to go to Sally's but driving there to find out the store moved...I was so upset! Luckily they opened a new one so I'm going to try and check that out today. I need to buy one of those giant jugs of acetone since I've been going through so much of it!

Anywho, onto the nails!

I love these nails so much! These are probably in my Top 5 Favorite designs for the month!

Tri-Polish Challenge: Zig Zags

Ello lovelies!

The Tri-Polish Challenge is back today!

Onto the nails!

And no. I wasn't trying to paint Grateful Dead nails...

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Purple

Ello!

I'm back from my trip even though I may or may not have gotten lost on the drive down to my friend's house and almost ended up on my way to New York City....Yep, I'm directionally challenged and don't pay attention to road signs! But I don't have anymore road trips planned until the beginning of July so I'll have extra money for polish buying (;

Anywho, onto the nails!

I haven't done drippy nails in a while!

FingerFood Theme Buffet: Cartoon/Comic

Ello!

How was everyone's weekend? I'm writing this post in advance again since I'm out of town but I'm thinking that my weekend was great....Pretty sure that sentence references the past, present, and future tense? Uhm, right. Maybe. This is a nail blog. I don't know what grammar is...

Anywho, onto the nails!

Cats! :3

Two red manicures in two days...Yeah, I don't know.

The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Black & White - Week 2

Ello lovelies!

I joined another challenge group! I know. Crazy. But some of the challenges that I do now end at the end of June or middle of July and I didn't want to be left without anything. I saw that The Nail Challenge Collaborative was accepting new people, so I decided to join! I'm excited because their themes always seem so fun (:

Anywho, onto the nails!

I'm hopping in on this month's theme which is Black & White!

Golden Oldie Thursdays: Red

Hello lovelies!

I've been editing photos for what feels like hours and I think my eyes are going to fall out...Woof, editing photos might easily be the worst part of blogging. But I have photos edited for 7 posts! Hopefully, your day is more fun haha!

Anywho, onto the nails!

And the award for the most subtle nail art ever created goes to......me! -_-

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: 2 Cremes

Anywho, onto the nails!

Yay for bright nails to kick off a Monday!

Anywho, onto the nails!

I'm not normally one to call a polish ugly since I normally like the weird colored polishes but this polish.....why do I own this?

Golden Oldie Thursdays: Silver Accent

Ello!

I have a Golden Oldie Thursdays post for you all today. Can you believe that it's the last month of this challenge? It flew it by!

Onto the nails!

So, I may have stretched the "silver accent" theme here a bit but look sparkles!

N.A.I.L Linkup: June - Leopard

Ello!

I'm back with my N.A.I.L. linkup post for the week! Sadly, this is the current length of my nails /: I broke a nail on my first day back at work and figured it would be better to just file them all down so they won't break anymore. I miss my long nails but I don't want to keep growing them out to have them break. I have a bunch of posts already prepared with my long nails but then it's nubs for the rest of summer.

Blah! Lots of dramatics on the blog today, woof. Onto the nails!

I've been blogging for close to a year now and this is my first time ever doing leopard nails...Whoops!

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: Prettiest

Hello lovelies!

How is everyones' week going so far? I've just been working and painting my nails. I wish I could say that my 1st paycheck would go towards some indies I've been eyeing but I just found out that the brake line in my car is leaking. So fixing the car comes before buying nail polish. Cruel world, right?

And end the dramatics, onto the nails!

Okay, picking the prettiest untried in my collection? Impossible. They're all pretty! And that's why they're all mine (;

The Never Ending Pile Challenge: What Was I Thinking?

Ello!

And I'm back with the post that was supposed to go up yesterday!

Let's get to the nails!

I haven't done any nails with glequins lately so I fixed it!

Tri-Polish Challenge: Watermarble

Hey guys!

Sorry for no post yesterday! My internet wasn't working and we had to have someone come and fix it for us. But I'm back now with some pretty nails so all is right in the world!! :D

Onto the nails!

I'm loving this month's Tri-Polish Challenge colors!

FingerFood Theme Buffet: Under The Sea

Hello lovelies!

I hope you're enjoying your Sunday! I'm headed back to work today. I can't say that I'm too excited but I need money to buy more nail polish (;

Anyhoo, onto onto the nails!

I even designed new watermarks! I'm not sure how I feel about the one around my finger but I've realized that my other mark is really easy to crop out. Sucks that people like to steal pictures /:
