Love, Angeline Polish: Deep Magic, Stone Table, Always Winter And Never Christmas

Aside from creams, the This Is The End collection also has three sparkly polishes: Deep Magic, Stone Table and Always Winter And Never Christmas.

Deep Magic is full of blue holo glitters in a clear base.

This is two coats -- one is put on regularly, and the other is dabbed on -- over When He Shakes His Mane.

I absolutely love this glitter.  Shades of blue and teal are my favorite to wear.  

Here is a shot of Deep Magic in the bottle.  It's like a pool of sparkles.


Stone Table is a white crelly with the green/purple/blue shimmer (as seen in the other creams) and iridescent glitter.  I really love how this polish ties together the creams and the glitters in this collection.  It kind of reminds me of that shiny cement that can be made a counter top, if that makes any sense.

I did three coats of Stone Table on its own and it was not opaque, but I imagine that one or two over white would do the trick, if that's the look you are going for!

Here it is in direct sunlight.  I like that it almost melts into my fingernails.

Stone Table in the bottle.  This picture gives a really good feel of the different colored shimmer and sparkles.


Look at this!  Always Winter And Never Christmas is a glitter bomb made up of various shapes and sizes of holo glitter, aka TOTALLY AWESOME.

I didn't have black (or other dark-colored) polish with me at the time, so I decided to just put it over Essie In The Cab-ana.  I love the way the bar glitters catch the light.

I did two coats, but you could do more or less depending on how sparkly you want to be!

These polishes are available from Love, Angeline Polish!

Love, Angeline Polish: Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve, When He Shakes His Mane, For Aslan!

For those of you who do not know (which may be all of you reading this!) I am a huge fan of The Chronicles of Narnia.  I've read them all more than once and I even own one big, fancy book that contains all seven novels.  I am fairly new to the indie polish world, so I was excited when I came across Love, Angeline Polish and saw that there was going to be a Narnia-themed collection.  Here are the four creams of the collection: Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve, When He Shakes His Mane and For Aslan!

Zoya Nail Polish - Mosheen

I came across Mosheen a while ago while at Ulta, and ended up buying it and a few other things because I had a 20% off coupon.  Mosheen is made up of shiny, blue bar glitters and little round iridescent sparkles in a sheer, blue base.

Liquid Sky Lacquer - Great White

Let me just start by saying that Great White Sharks are probably my favorite animal of all time.  They are beautiful, majestic animals that are a huge part of watery ecosystems all over the world.  If I could, I would have my life's work be in shark conservation, because it's WAY more important than a lot of people think it is.  That being said, this polish, fittingly called Great White, is something I had to own.

Revlon - Coast Is Clear

In Rhode Island (and there are a few in other states... why?), we have this great (and I use that term loosely) store called the Ocean State Job Lot.  I have no idea what the name even means, except for the "Ocean State" part, but sometimes you can find some diamonds in the rough.  One example is this great Revlon polish called Coast Is Clear that I got for $1.49!

Liquid Afterglow Lacquer - Oddviously Vintage

Oddviously Vintage is a polish like I've never seen.  It's a clear base with pastel glitters -- round, light yellow circles, and blue/yellow/pink squares/hexes.  They're also kind of metallic.  And it's AWESOME.

Bippity Boppity Boo!

I am a HUGE fan of Cinderella.  When I met her at Disney World last year, I'm pretty sure I was more excited than the small children surrounding me (I was 22).  So when I saw this polish I had to get it.

Liquid Glam Lacquer - Lucky Charm

Contrary to its name, this polish was not my Lucky Charm.  All cheesy jokes aside, I really like the polish.  The white base is perfect for the metallic-y glitters that are within.

Trick-or-Treat!

Let me start by saying that I love this polish!  It's another beauty from Liquid Sky Lacquer called Trick or Treat.  I think this is definitely what the inside of a candy bag looks like.

As you can see, it's a glitter bomb!  Just look at it in its glittery glory...

Fall Foliage

I'm sorry for being MIA the past couple of weeks -- I had two tests and a paper due all within three days of each other.  You know, typical school stress.  But that's no matter!  Today I have Liquid Glam Lacquer's Fall Foliage to show everyone.

A polish appropriate for this month!

I recently ordered six polishes from Liquid Glam Lacquer and the first one I wanted to post about is called October (which is one of my very favorite months of the year).

Oceanic Forces

Recently, I was lucky enough to buy all three of Emily de Molly's popular polishes -- Cosmic Forces, Dark Forces and Oceanic Forces.  I was super excited to try them all out, but I could only pick one!  So here is Oceanic Forces, a deep turquoise jelly with tons of glitters.

Claire's - Flashing Lights

It's been a while since I've posted, but August was such a busy month!  I went on vacation and have been working a LOT before school starts again and I can't work as much.  Here is one manicure I did while I was on vacation in good old New Hampshire.

A polish I got from Claire's called Flashing Lights.  It has lots of different sizes and shapes of blue and white glitters.  This is two coats over another light blue Claire's polish (I couldn't find a name on the bottle -- it came in a little box set.)

Lush Lacquer - Dream On

It is no surprise that I LOVE Lush Lacquer polishes.  I used them almost every time I do my nails because they're unique, sparkly and awesome.

June Nail Art Challenge - June 8th - Ocean Nails

Excuse this for being five days late, but I've been working every day and haven't had time to post anything!


So for my Ocean-inspired nails, I did waves in the style of a French Manicure.

June Nail Art Challenge - June 4th - Flowers


Yesterday's nail art was to be flowers.  I kept it sweet and simple with daisies since they are my favorite.

The base is two coats of Lush Lacquer Dream On.

Fuzz-Sea French Tips

This is my last post using Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat for now.  For this I used China Glaze Def-Defying and Fuzz-Sea, a fun mixture of blue and green bars.

I apologize in advance for the poor lighting -- there was no sunshine out, so I had to deal with clouds.

Leopard Print Gradient.

I painted these on Monday night, and today five of them are completely chipped off.  I guess that's what I get for doing something ~fancy~ and then working on delivery day.  I just wish I had gotten a better picture, perhaps with my actual camera and not just a quick one on my phone.  I hadn't even taken the excess polish off of my fingers yet, how embarrassing.  Oh well, it's still pretty neat-o!


It's a lime green/fluorescent yellow and light, turquoise-y blue gradient.  I used a pink Icing brand polish for the spots, then an Art Deco sparkly purple for the lines around the spots.  It looks much better in real life.

Blue nail art!

I don't generally do a different design for each finger nail (I lack inspiration!), but I thought I would give it a try using various blue polishes.

Here it is without a flash.  I used all sorts of polishes - Milani, Zoya, Pure Ice, Dollish Polish, Funky Fingers and Nyx Girls.
