Negative Space All the Nails!

*Some items in this post were press samples*

Hi everyone! It's time for the monthly Paint All the Nails link-up and this time were are doing Negative Space nails! Ok, I'm going to admit...when I first saw that everyone wanted to do Negative Space nails, I was less than excited. My nails are disgustingly stained and I'm always jealous of all of the pretty negative space looks that I see around and I want to know HOW they keep their nails so nice and wear so much polish all the time. I've only done one negative space look before and I remember that I somehow got my nails looking alright then (not great), but now I feel like it's impossible. I decided I soldier on and hopefully I wouldn't be too embarrassed by my yellow nails.

Indie Inlinkz: Favorite Fall Color

*Some Press Samples Included*

Hi everyone! Today I'm doing a link-up with the ladies of Indie Inlinkz, a group of lovely bloggers who do a monthly link-up featuring indie polishes. For this month's prompt, we are exploring our favorite fall color! It's no secret that I'm an orange lover (yes that's me...sitting in the corner by myself), and I've amassed quite a collection of orange indies that are perfect for fall. Whether it be more burnt oranges or bright Halloween oranges, I don't discriminate. I have way more fabulous oranges than this in my collection (MANY that are more summer appropriate), but I picked out 8 great ones to share today that I think are fall appropriate. I'm sure I probably left out some that I love, but this is all my brain could come up with in the wee hours of the morning when I was putting this post together (just being real). These photos were taken anytime from last week to over a year and a half ago, so they are all over the place when it comes to poses, lighting, etc.. so just bear with me! Also I few of them are no longer available, so I apologize for that, but I just had to share them because they are favorites of mine!

Great Lakes Lacquer Friends Collection, Part 2

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! Today I have Great Lakes Lacquer's The Friends Collection, Part 2 to share with you! Once again, Mariah has paid homage to her fabulous friends with these gorgeous polishes!

The Friends Collection, Part 2 will launch in the Great Lakes Lacquer shop on September 27th at 3 PM EST, along with the October LEs that I showed you on Monday.

Hare Polish Daddy Warlock for October's A Box, Indied

*Press Sample*

Hi everyone! Today I have Hare Polish's contribution to October's A Box, Indied. The theme for the September box is "Bewitched!" and all of the polish have a mystical, magical theme that's perfect for Halloween. October's box is also a very special all holo box, so if you are a holo lover you definitely want to pick this one up. Other participants in the October box include Colors by Llarowe, Girly Bits, Serum No. 5, and Different Dimension. The October box releases this Saturday (September 26) at 12 PM MDT on Llarowe's website. 

Hare Polish Daddy Warlock is a black linear holo filled with multi colored ultra chrome flakes, gold flakes, and reddish/coppery flakes. Formula was super easy to work with and I got full coverage in 3 thin coats. All of the colors look so beautiful swimming against the inky black base and make for a truly magical polish. It's definitely not your average black holo and I would expect nothing less from Hare Polish!

Falling into Fall: KBShimmer Rust No One

*Press Sample, Previously Reviewed*

Hi everyone! Today I have another older fall polish to share with you, this one from KBShimmer's Fall 2014 Collection. Since the NEW KBSHIMMER FALL COLLECTION went live today, I thought, why not reminisce about last year? (By the way, If you haven't checked out the new collection, check out my post here.) Rust No One was one of my favorites from last year's fall collection and it's actually nice to wear anytime, but I especially love it for fall.

Rust No One is a rusty red linear holo polish. Formula is just perfection, with full opacity in 2 easy coats. This is such a classy color and the orangey undertones make it perfect for fall. One thing that I love is that it is very fall-like without being super vampy, so that's a good change of pace if you wanted something a bit brighter. I wore this recently because it matched an outfit I was wearing to an event perfectly (I know...being matchy-matchy isn't cool...but I just had to!). Unfortunately, I just checked and this pretty has been discontinued in KBShimmer's shop, but another great red holo option for the fall that they DO have in stock would be Men are From Marsala. It's a bit more earthy and less orange than Rust No One, but still a fantastic choice.

Multichrome Monday: Baroness X Quiet Enchantment Collection

*Press Samples, Press Release*

Hi everyone! I have a brand new multichrome collection to share with you and I couldn't resist making it my Multichrome Monday feature (which I've been slacking on lately)! Baroness X is releasing a 4 piece multichrome collection called the Quiet Enchantment Collection. These multichromes contain either flakies or holo shards in them to make them extra special! The Quiet Enchantment Collection will be available on September 18th at 12 PM PST as a set or as single polishes in the Baroness X shop. You guys know I love multichromes, so get ready for TONS OF PICTURES! I've also included the meanings of the names for each polish from Demi's press release since they are very unique!

Alopecia Awareness Mani + Glam Polish Bad Hair Day

Hi everyone! I meant to post this yesterday, but I got caught up prepping for my week long vacation and I never got around to it. Today I have a very special mani to share with you in honor of Alopecia Awareness Month! Rachel from Glam Polish is helping to spread education and awareness about Alopecia as well as participating in fundraising efforts to benefit the Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation with a special fundraising polish, Bad Hair Day which I will be showing you at the end of this post. Yesterday (Saturday, September 12), Rachel organized a social media event using the hashtag #bluemanisforalopeciaawareness, so be sure to check out that hashtag and even contribute a blue mani of your own! 

For my mani, I decided to do a dotted gradient. I used a base if Pahlish Ace of Fours II (Bespoke Batch) because I loved that it was white so it made a good base for the dots, but it also was filled with blue flecks. For my dots, I used 4 Glam Polishes: Paradise, Sinister, Illusion, and Book of Shadows. I was inspired to do this dot gradient by The Lacquerologist's recent mani in the 31DC2015.

JORD Wood Watch Review - Zebrawood and Maple

*Press Sample*

Hi everyone! Today I have a very different review to share with you! I was recently contacted by JORD to review one of their fabulous wood watches. I have admired them on several blogs, so I jumped at the chance to try one myself. A watch made out of wood is not something you see every day and it's certainly gotten a lot of attention since I've started wearing it. It's such a fun and beautiful piece for daily wear! JORD's entire range of wood watches are available from the JORD website.
