Let's Try Those Untrieds! - Splendor Nail Lacquer "Back Up" and Essie "Tart Deco" Swatch

Hello!

In my adventure to use all my untried before I die, I used two untried a month ago to begin the week the better way possible. Colorful and sparkles was the theme.

I choose for this mani a super bright coral/pink that many of you know and own already I'm certain. I bought this polish from eeerrhhh.. I can't remember. Was it from a blog sale or was it from NailPolishCanada? I'll have to chek! (EDIT: I bought it from a destash sale.) Anyways. I bought this one but never use it (like many of my polishes haha) so I thought it was a good time to try it. I had also this bottle from Splendor Nail Lacquer that was calling my name from the day I had it in my hand.

52 Week Challenge - Non US Brand : "Welcome to the 60's" by GlamPolish

It took me long enough, but I'm back with a new blog post. I struggled through the last weeks to find inspiration, motivation and time to blog about nails.
 
I'm coming back with some holo sparkles/glitter deliciousness!
 
For the 52 Week Challenge, I decided to go with the "Non US Brand" for the beginning of the week. Maybe if I have time later, I'll do the Kids Tv... I honestly have no memories about what I was watching when I was younger haha. All the memories I have is watching movies with my dad and watching tv shows that I probably shouldn't have. (Don't worry, not this kind of tv show.)
 
Anyways!
 
The last time I fell off my "No-buy" train, I bought some Glam Polish babies I wanted from a long time at Harlow and Co. "Welcome to the 60's" was one of them.

"Eyre" by piCturepOlish

The story begins like this:
 
One day, I'm doing my nails when suddenly: crisis. My HK Girl Top Coat is almost empty. First reaction: "That's fine. I'll go on NailPolishCanada and buy another bottle so I won't have to wait too much for my bottle to arrive."
 
I go on NailPolishCanada.com and put HK Girl Top Coat in my cart... They recently began to charge for shipping and if you buy more than 25$, it's free (in Canada, not US). So.. you begin to understand?
 
I couldn't just buy a topcoat and leave. Right? Riiiiight?
I had to make it worth it.
Here comes "Eyre" by piCture pOlish. (I also bought Paris but didn't get the chance to wear it!)
 
 
 
I had to buy this one, not only because the color is freaking amazing but also because, Eyre. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. Ring a bell? I loved this book even if it's kind of dramatic and sometimes dark.

Hello, Reader!
 
Next from my untried pile is Ruby 2.0 from Supernatural Lacquer. It's been a long time since I have done these swatches so I think I had done 2 or 3 coats to achieve to opacity here.

Let's Try Those Untrieds! - Supernatural Lacquer "Charlie" Swatch

Hello Reader!

I think my new resolution for this year is to swatch all my untried polish in my untried box. I have a lot of nail polish just sitting there, waiting for their moments. Like you already know, this will be a work in progess since everytime you take one nail polish out, three come in. Haha. You know what I'm talking about, right. HOOOOOARDER.

Try Those Untrieds! - Renaissance Cosmetics "Emerald Envy" Swatch

Hi, Reader!
 
Today I have a simple swatch for you!
 
It may be only a swatch but this polish is all but simple! I can guarantee you!
 
First of all, it's from Renaissance Cosmetics, an indie polish brand based in Toronto (which means near to me = fast shipping yeaaah!) The company is owned by one of my favorite nail artist in the community, Meghan of WillPaintNailsForFood.com.
 
I present you "Emerald Envy", an emerald (duuuh!) green with gold shimmer and tiny gold glitters. When I applied the first coat, I was pleasantly surprised by the opacity of the polish. I could have gotten away with only one coat, but I decided to play it safe and applied a second coat.

Nails Of The Weekend: Pahlish's "La Belle Endormie"

Taking a short break from the 31DC to wear one of my many new pretties!

Fall is almost here and I'm really happy about it. I think over the years, it has become my favorite season. The colors in the trees, the cold air (but not too cold) and when the sun is there, wow!

Yesterday night, when I was searching for a new color to wear, I couldn't decide. I knew I wanted something dark, with a fall vibe... The problem is that I have a million of new pretties and I wanted to wear all of them! (Compulsive buyer heeeeeeere.)

I finally decided on wearing one of my new Pahlish. It's my first time buying from them and I was really amazed when I had them finally in my hands. The colors on my screen didn't prepare me for all this amazingness! They are so much prettier in real life! Making it harder to decide which one to wear first!

No more blabla. Let's see those nails!!

 
La Belle Endormie is a dark red/purple jelly full of gold shimmer. Very vampy, very fall!


I'm not at home at this moment, so I took the pictures with what I had.  Look at that gold shimmer peaking through! I wish it would have shown better on the pictures!


I just adore this shade. I will wear this one very often during fall. It has so much depth. Just beautiful.

What are you wearing on your nails this weekend?

Happy polishing!
