Delush Polish Belle of Winterfell

*Purchased by Me*

Since Game of Thrones has finally decided to come back on, I've pulled out all of my Game of Thrones themed polishes to wear! I'll be posting them throughout the season just for fun. I started out with this beautiful orange beauty from Delush Polish, Belle of Winterfell. This polish was inspired by Sansa Stark, and I think it is the most opportune time to wear it since she is FINALLY back at Winterfell! She hasn't always been my favorite character for sure, but she's had a lot of bad things happen to her and I've enjoyed her growth throughout the seasons. I just hope that she stays smart...Littlefinger is too close at hand and although I believe she knows how manipulative he is, I just hope she doesn't fall for any of his schemes.

ILNP Interstellar

*Nothing to Disclose*

Hi everyone! Today I have a beautiful ILNP from my backlogged mani photo collection to share with you! I have a ton of backlogged photos to share, so I'm going to be doing that bit by bit if I think they are worth sharing!

ILNP Interstellar is a multichrome polish that shifts from navy/teal/purple with holographic flakes throughout. I wore this some time ago and I can't for the life of me remember the exact polish that I layered it over, but it was a dark blue shimmer polish. Interstellar can be worn on its own, but I was just jazzing up an existing mani at the time, so I layered 2 coats of Interstellar over my dark blue shimmer base. The shift in this is lovely, but a bit more subtle than ILNP Ultra Chrome line. I adore the addition of the flakes too...I can never resist a polish that has those! Interstellar is definitely appropriately named because this is a galaxy in a bottle. I know ILNP is famous for their Ultra Chromes and Ultra Holos, but I really enjoy their polishes that have more complex finishes like this one.

Stained Glass Nail Art

*Some Press Samples Used*

Hi everyone! Today I have my first attempt at doing colored jellies over a holo base. I've wanted to do this after seeing these fabulous manis from my pals Emily from Very Emily and Valesha from Peachy Polish (I miss seeing both of their posts so much!).  I don't think mine was quite as amazing as theirs, but it's an OK first attempt. Basically, you achieve this look by applying a silver glitter base and then randomly blobbing colored jelly polishes on top to create a sort of "stained glass" look. Then you finish off with some intricate black stamping. It was easy to do...just give it a try! The most difficult part is waiting for the layers to dry before stamping! I was glad to finish off the design using a collaboration plate from yet another one of my Paint All the Nails! buddies, Lucie from Lucy's Stash!

Polishes Used:

KBShimmer Alloy Matey (Silver Glitter Base)
OPI Y'all Come Back, Ya Hear? (Orange)

piCture pOlish Rose

*Nothing to Disclose*

Hi everyone! Today I have a piCture pOlish beauty to share with you!

Rose is a beautiful pink-toned red filled with holo flakes. The formula spread smoothly and easily and I used 2 coats for full coverage. I have always had a great love for piCture pOlish's holo flake polishes, and this one is no exception. The formula on Rose is more creamy vs jelly so it has more opaque coverage while still having a slightly squishy finish. It's a classic shade with a fun twist...it would be an elegant addition to anyone's polish collection. This shade was a collaboration shade with Cotton Coney, who does some of the most amazing free-hand nail art (check her out on Instagram too)

Monday Layerings: Lollipop Posse Lacquer + OPI

*Nothing to Disclose*

Hi everyone! I've got a gorgeous layering combo to share with you today, courtesy of Lollipop Posse Lacquer and OPI! I haven't purchased many glitters lately, but I could not resist completing my Christmas Kiki Collection with the beautiful This Kiki is Marvelous when Karen recently re-released it (it's sold out now...it was a limited restock). This glitter is really versatile and would look amazing over a variety of colors, but I wanted to pair it with a vampy shade to really make the glitters pop. I chose OPI Kerry Blossom, from the Washington D.C. Collection from Fall 2016. There were so many pretty cremes in that collection...I really need to wear more of them! This was such a lip-smacking combo...love!
