Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Look At These A$$holes

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Look at These A$$holes

Hey guys!  I have a mani to show you today that I am downright obsessed with.  I'm still wearing it right now and don't intend to take it off any time soon.  This is Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer (BEGL) Look at These A$$holes.  It's a gorgeous pinky/orange/coral color.  When I got the bottle it looked really pink and I'm not a huge pink lover but once I put it on I got this crazy neon orange.  So much love for this one!  I added a quick gradient using BEGL Siren's a Special Snowflake for some extra sparkle.

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Look at These A$$holes

Okay so this polish is still available in the BEGL shop but heads up, Julie says it is light sensitive and should be stored in a dark place.  There is a chance that it may fade if left in bright situations.  It had several warning stickers on it and came in a cute black bag.  Best part is the price was reduced because of the fading possibility so it's a killer deal.  Mine lives in a helmer so I'm sure it will be fine.

I hope you guys liked this one.  Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

A Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Siren Pairing

Hey guys!  You all know I'm a huge fan of Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer (BEGL).  BEGL has an LE line of polishes with Siren in the name.  There's usually a new one every month as well as a few random ones thrown in here and there.  I paired two Sirens for this mani.  The blue is And Then Siren Slept for a Year, a gorgeous blue that was perfect in two coats.  The pink is Siren's Pet Monster, a squishy pink that needed three coats.  The flecks in it are just perfect.  I used some french tip guides to add the blue accents to the pink nails.  I'm just loving the end result!

The moms at my son's baseball practice loved this look.  I'm thinking both these polishes will make great pedi colors soon.  It's still crazy warm here so I'll be wearing flip flops for a while.  Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

A Rica Pairing

Hey all!  Today I have a fun combo featuring Rica polishes.  I started with a base of Rica Oh Gnomie, You Didn't and then added a layer of Rica If These Narwhals Could Talk.  Gnomie has a great formula.  It applied easy and had the perfect consistency.  Narwhals was a bit trickier.  I had to put on a coat and then dab on a bit more as it was a bit sparse at one coat.

Gnomie came from the July GNOME box that is a collaboration between Rica and Stardust polish.  Sometimes I really enjoy wearing a nice soft colored mani.  Thanks for stopping by!

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Combo

Hey guys!  How is everyone today?  I have a quickie post today showing off one of my favorite manis lately.  I showed this off on facebook the other day but I thought it still deserved it's own post.  I started out with Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Hypothermia as my base color.  Then I added one coat of Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Might Not Recover on top.  The result is the crazy, sparkly mani.

I loved this combo so much that I put it on my toes yesterday.  Mr. MLiP walked by and said it looked like I had bruises on my toes.  Pffft...What the heck does he know?

Have a great day!

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Siren's Summer Vacation

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Siren's Summer Vacation

Hello!  I always struggle with showing you guys polishes that aren't readily available for purchase.  But then I think what if someone is looking to buy it in a destash and is searching for photos then it might be helpful.  So today I have Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Siren's Summer Vacation.  This is a gorgeous polish!  I love the Siren line and own all but one that I missed out on.  This is definitely one of my favorites by far.  I used two coats and top coat.  It dries to a satiny finish so a glossy top coat was a must.

BEGL puts out an LE Siren each month.  You should give them a like on facebook to keep up with the latest info.

Have a great day!

A Rhyming Dictionary Alfhol

A Rhyming Dictionary Alfhol

Hey guys!  I have a new to me brand to show you today.  This pretty polish is from A Rhyming Dictionary.  Alfhol is a great polish that sometimes looked blue and sometimes looked green.  All depended on the light I was in.  It has an amazing two coat formula.  It was thick but not in a bad way.  The polish went where I wanted it too and didn't pool at all.

Look I Stamped!!

Hey all!  Recently I was perusing Instagram and saw Bundle Monster had a new huge stamper.  This sucker is gigantic!  I shared a photo on my facebook page the other day.  Now I'm not a huge stamper just because the inner perfectionist in me freaks out at the littlest imperfections.  But I just had to see this stamper in person, so I ordered it.  It came super fast from Hawaii.  Last night I decided to stamp a full mani and see how it worked.  I have to say I'm pretty impressed.  It picked up the images super easy and I was able to cover my whole nail pretty easy.  I started with a base color of Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Monster's Tea at Tiffany's, then used a black cream to stamp this image from Mash plate 48.

So it's not perfect but I'm loving it.  I feel like I have the stamping bug again.  Now to build up some courage to try out some of the really neat stamping techniques.

Have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by.

Rica It's Me, Stan

Rica It's Me, Stan

Hey all!  I have a really cool neutral holo to show you today.  I'm not even really sure what possessed me to buy it since neutrals aren't my thing but I'm so glad to have this staple in my collection.  This is Rica It's Me, Stan from the Golden Girls collection.  This went on with two smooth coats.  I added some accents of Lacquerhead Dots Impossible.  I love that it's neutral but has a subtle holo flash to spice things up a bit.

Rica It's Me, Stan

Rica makes such great quality polishes.  I know that when I order I'm getting a quality product with the fastest shipping I've ever come across in the indie world.  By the way sorry for the nubby nails but I lost a few camping last weekend so I had to chop them all.  It's okay though because I'm a shorty nail kinda girl.  

Have a great night!

Rica Go Big Or Go Home

Rica Go Big or Go Home

Hello!  I have a couple pretty Rica polishes to show you all today.  So lets start with the gorgeous blue holo shall we?  This is two coats of Go Big or Go Gnome.  Totally flawless application.  Pretty much what you expect from a Rica polish.  This is from the GNOME box that Rica and Stardust put out monthly.  I had missed this one but a lovely lady I know was kind enough to give it to me.  The accent nail is three coats of Big Daddy Always Said from the Golden Girls collection.

Rica Go Big or Go Home

I'm a little gnome obsessed.  I have them around my house.  So these GNOME polishes are something I look forward to every month.

Until next time...

Hey all!  Today I have a new to me indie on the blog, Black Dahlia Lacquer.  Someone posted a photo of this polish in a facebook group and I just had to snag it.  This gorgeous green is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle which I believe was an LE.  This is two coats and top coat shown today.  This is just gorgeous!

Cupcake Polish What in Carnation?

Cupcake Polish What in Carnation? 

Hello!  Every now and again I see a polish that just screams BUY ME!!!  Cupcake Polish What in Carnation? is one of those.  I saw this polish on a few different blogs and knew it had to be mine.  I don't have many Cupcakes but from what I do have, I've come to expect a stellar formula.  What in Carnation? does not disappoint.  It was perfect in two coats.  I added Cupcake Yule Be Missing Me as an accent nail.  It's equally amazing just so ya know.

Dragon Claw Polish Rainbow Sherbet Collection

*Press Sample*

Hey everyone!  I have the summer offering from Dragon Claw Polish for you today.  This is the Rainbow Sherbet collection.  Janet, the maker, describes these as creme neon polishes.  To me they have a bit more of a jelly consistency.  These are some seriously bright polishes.  Now they do have a bit of learning curve to them.  It helped to let them dry a bit between coats.  Now let me tell you what you're going to see in each photo.  The first two nails have a white base layer and two coats of the Dragon Claw polish.  The next two nails are three coats of the Dragon Claw over my regular clear base coat.  You can see the white really makes them pop, especially the green.  That was my favorite! Mr. MLiP loved the green too.


First up is Luscious Lime.  You can see that three coats leaves me with a bit of visible nail line (vnl) but check it out over that white.  So bright and happy!

Next is Wonderous Watermelon.  Such a great girly pink.

Hey everyone!  I have a gorgeous holo for you today.  This is LynBdesigns Double Bluff.  It's a gorgeous neutral holo.  I normally don't gravitate towards shades like this but Mr. MLiP choose it so I wore it.  This was perfect in two coats and I'm wearing top coat just like always.

Hey all!  I have another mani from the alphabet mani challenge I'm doing in one of my facebook groups.  This week is brands that start with F.  I chose Finger Paints You Yacht Too Know Better and a long discontinued indie brand, Feenix Polish Shake Your Tail Feathers.  I miss Feenix polishes.  They were always such pretty glitters and they still look just like they did when I got them.

Thanks for stopping by guys.  Have a great night!

Hey all!  I know I've shown you this before but I wore it again and just couldn't resist showing it off for a second time.  This is two coats of Void Stuff and and accent nail of Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer She's Electricity.  I used some Nail Vinyls to add a nail art flare.  Haha that's about as flare as I get.

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Review

*Press Sample*

Hey everyone!  I have three polishes from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer to show you today.  Those of you that have been around a while know that Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer (BEGL) is one of my favorite indies so I'm always thrilled to show them off to you.

First up we have Grandpa, an off white creme with rose and gold microflakies (totally stole that description right from the BEGL site).  This is three coats and top coat.  For a white this was very well behaved.  I'm a sucker for a white polish so I'm loving this one.

Next up is Oy, Stupid Face!, a hot pink with blue/purple and blue/green flakies.  This is such a fun girly pink.  I used three coats and top coat for this one.

My final polish today is Mickey Smith. Defending the Earth, a hunter green linear holo with gunmetal flakies.  I love this one!!  This is two coats and top coat.  This wore like iron for several days.
