Hello My Smitten's
Happy Friday! Today I have a mani with Butter London's Lovely Jubbly and Avon's Suede polish, Fuchsia Feel. I have used Lovely Jubbly several times before. It is one of my favorite Butter London polishes.

Farewell Pink [Polish Us Pink]
Hello My Smitten's
Am I the only one that feels like Deborah Lippmann is the holy grail of polishes.......crickets......ok um moving on lol.
Sadly this is the last Polish Us Pink post for 2012. I totally enjoyed doing it and all of the new people I met.
This mani is sooooo pretty right, I know. I used China Glaze Rich and Famous and Deborah Lippmann Candy Shop.
This Nails Inc. Click Here mani was my favorite of the Polish Us Pink series but this mani took the cake!
I don't normally wear all of this pink, in fact I had to purchase most of these polishes because I don't have much pink in my collection. It was for a good cause though.
Farewell Pink.
Do you own/wear a lot of pinks? Did you enjoy the 2012 Polish Us Pink Series?
Thanks for stopping by :)

Bitter! Sour! No it's Tart! [Hump Day Mani]
I saw this polish and I had to have it. Purple is my go to color for nail polish. I am slightly over the glitter mania but it's just so pretty.
I got the polish from the Pretty & Polished Esty Shop . I payed via Paypal. I received the order within a week or maybe less. I don't exactly remember. I do remember that I did not wait very long at all. The polish was well packaged in bubble wrap.
The polish went on smooth and the glitter was very cooperative coming out of the bottle and onto my nails. I applied 3 thin coats for the polish to be opaque. It can be layered but the polish does just fine by itself.
Absolutely Gorgeous!
Overall, the purchase and shipment of the polish was seamless. The application was perfect and I love the polish.
Do you have this Indie Polish? Did you layer it or wear it on its own?

Oh S ____ !
OH SPLAT!
From the moment I saw this polish I absolutely adored it. It is so gorgeous. I ordered the polish from the KB Shimmer website . You can pay via paypal but I opted to use my credit card. I received the polish within a week. It was well packaged in bubble wrap. I did not have any problems with the order process.
This polish applies like a dream. It was decadent and smooth. This polish was opaque in 2 coats but I used 3 coats for good measure (or perhaps because I enjoyed applying it so much). I did not have any trouble getting the glitter out of the bottle. The hex glitter was oozing out; they just couldn't wait to get on my nails.
Now let me say this. This polish is magic in a bottle. I used Seche Vite top coat and this mani lasted for 3 days with no chips, not even any shrinkage. And we all know Seche will shrink the hell out of your polish making it look like you have tip wear. Every morning I work up absolutely delighted that my mani still looked fresh.
I love this polish so much that I thought about taking it off and reapplying it but that would be a polish sin since I have over 50 untrieds. Overall I love this polish (have I already said that). The ordering and shipment process was seamless. The application was a dream and I cannot wait to try more KB Shimmer polishes.
Do you have any KB Shimmer polishes or products? What was experience like?

Purple Glitter
I am being a woman of few words with this post because it is soooo late and I am sooooo tired but I must say I gained a new respect for Julep polishes with Morgan. This polish is so pretty and the formula is perfect. This is my first time in history only using one coat of polish and being completely satisfied. This polish was completely opague in 1 coat. I couldn't even bring myself to put another coat over that perfect 1st coat. All Hail Julep; you won my heart with this one!
Do you have either of these polishes? How many coats of polish do you swatch?

I'm So Shiny
My co-worker gave me this Layla polish for my birthday. What an AWESOME Birthday gift.
I used Layla Mirror Effect's Metal Chrome and China Glaze's Ray-Diant.
LOVE!!!
What I learned about this Layla polish is that it is thick in a good kind of way. It only requires one brush stroke. If you go over an area more than once it streaks. Then it looks Horrible!!! This was my first application so I did not know that. Now I know, do not go over an area twice and you must let it dry for at least 3 mintues before you apply a second coat. As for Ray-Diant, all glitter polishes are thick as fudge to me!!!
So let me tell you about this Mani. I always admired the women who change their polish everyday, or change their polish to match an outfit, or who has a long day at work then go home and polish their nails. I am none of those women but my nails were looking HORRID so i decided to polish after a 12 hour shift. Are you kidding me? I was terribly tired. My eyes kept shutting as I was polishing so I stood up for the duration of my Mani. No joke, I stood up like they make you do in grade school when you are falling asleep lol. I threw that Nubar top coat on my nails and collapsed into bed. All Hail Nubar because my nails did not smudge!!!
Do you have any Layla polishes? Do you have any polish tricks or tips? What top coat do you use?
