Nail of the Day: Pahlish Balneario

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Saturday! Today I have, as promised, Pahlish's Balneario to show you. This was the polish I used as the base for the Spooky Halloween Nail Vinyls Mani the other day.

Balneario

The thing about this polish is that it's pretty much a neon with micro-flakes, so it's not only great for Halloween, but for all seasons - depending on how you wear it. Today it's a bright reminder of summer.

Above the Curve

Friday the 13th #2

Every Friday the 13th Above the Curve launched a new polish. They've done it 3 times so far and each one has been stunning. The catch is they're only available for THAT day. If you miss them, you have to wait for the next Friday the 13th to roll around, at which time they generally have a new one and past versions available.

If you missed Friday the 13th #1, check out the post here.

If you missed Friday the 13th #3, check out the post here.

I'm not sure how I missed #2 but that's the one I'm showing you today. It's a lovely taupe-based holographic polish with a strong violet lavender flash. No issues at all with the formula or application. Two coats and no top coat for the photos. Be sure and check out the yummy micro-flakes in the shade macro at the end!

Indirect natural lighting...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you think? So far I've adored all three but #1 is still my favorite.

These special Friday the 13th polishes are only available on Friday the 13th. The GOOD thing is that they generally offer past versions as well. The next time Friday falls on the 13th is in February 2015 and then there are 2 more for 2015 (March and November) - so if you want any of them, put them on your wish list and mark your calendars!

Above the Curve polishes are available on their Big Cartel shop here and their Etsy shop here. You can also follow them on Facebook here to stay up-to-date on availability, new collections, promos, etc. The BEST part? $1 of every bottle sold goes to Shriner's Hospital for Children! Full-sized bottles retail for $9.00.

Today I have 4 of Maya Cosmetics' Sprummer 2014 Collection to show you.  As you can see I swatched these with shorties.  Sometimes I don't know what happens to my brain. I loved them and set them aside in my "done" pile to be put away. And then I never showed them to you! So I apologize for the delay. Her shop is closed at the moment but she should be back up soon and I'll put the links in at the end.

6 Harts Polish

Bad Bad Lulu Brown & Mountain Nights

Tonight I'm especially happy to be showing you two polishes I got to see manifest from pea-sized ideas to fruition and I have to say they both turned out better than I expected. And I know Courtney and was expecting bottles of gorgeous already. She really outdid herself on these two.

Bad Bad Lulu Brown was made for a mutual friend and brown-lover and Mountain Nights was inspired by a photograph of Courtney's beautiful Montana sky. I think she captured it perfectly.

$weetcheeks Polish

Vous Êtes Mon Soleil

Tonight I have a very special polish to show you from $weetcheeks Polish called Vous Êtes Mon Soleil. You French speakers will know what it means right away and from what I recall from my high school French it means You are my Sun. So I guessed it references the song You Are My Sunshine. And I was right!

The inspiration behind this lovely polish is the maker's mother. Here's what the maker has to say about it: "This one has a lot of sentimental value to me, as it is made in honor of my mom. She used to sing this song to me when I was young. I love her tons and she is the strongest woman I know, especially now. My mom never wears polish any more but she is rocking this right now!"

When I saw this and the name, I knew I had to make it MINE! And I'm glad I did. So today I'm going to show it to you: Nire's Desire Anam Cara. Plus, it's Irish, so it fits in really well this week with St. Patrick's Day just around the corner.

Nire's Desire

Anam Cara

"Anam cara" (Ananchara) is a Gaelic word/phrase that loosely translates as "soul" friend. And I'm blessed to have a couple of those. I also have a ring with this on it but I can't seem to find it! ACK!
