Whoo Hoo, Absolutely Alice is mine!!

Thanks to the incredibly sweet Regni, from The lacquerista, I now own some of my most lemmed after polishes, and I can't wait to show you all! I might of actually even done the Cabbage Patch dance, when this box arrived, eeek, true dork I know. If you don't know that dance, then fell extremely lucky! Anyways, this is one of them, Absolutely Alice. Why in the world is this not part of their perm collection???  By far, this is now my #1 blue glitter, and def in my top 5 of all time. Not only did I do my mani with this, but I also did my toes :) It just sparkles more than any picture can show you, in real life.




I did this in the morning at home, then later that day while on my lunch break  I decided to add some tips.

Savina Purple Hologram

Yep another eBay purchase, lol. Once again, I had never seen this, and the color, and the word 'Hologram' hooked me instantly. I love the simplicity and yet complex color, that this is. It's very feminine, and subtle, till you look up close, and see all the glitter in it. It was a tad sheer, but I was able to achieve bottle color with just 3 coats, which was fine by me, it is well worth it.

Dr. Seussical


You'll never guess whose birthday it is today!! (Especially since Google sucks and didn't do a cool themed logo for it) You may already know, but this guy was the master of rhyme, silly illustrations, and odd characters that we all grew up with and still love. It's Dr. Seuss! Fun fact: Did you know that Seuss is actually supposed to be pronounced 'Soice'? Later in his career, he adopted the mispronunciation because it helped better relate his stories to that of Mother Goose, and because it was already widely pronounced the way we now know it as 'Soos'.

Anyway, as a kid, I was no different than the masses, and I, too loved Dr. Seuss. (Just ask my mom!)  My favorite book was 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish', and even as a kid I knew it by heart! So today, on his birthday, (he'd be 107 years old today!) I decided to honor Dr. Seuss by doing 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish' nails!!



I used MAC Vestral White as a base, with American Apparel Manila for the yellow fish, China Glaze Hey Sailor! from the Anchors Away Collection for the Dr. Seuss logo, the fins on the yellow fish, and for the entire red fish. :) For the green fish, I used BB Couture Poison Ivy for the green fish, CND Anchor Blue for the blue fish, then used American Apparel Hassid to outline everything as well as shade the letters in the logo. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat

I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, Sam I Am!

I am forever browsing eBay for fun new polishes. I love finding ones, that I never hear about, and just love them in real life. This was one of them. While browsing through a sellers store, that I had already found some pretties to buy, I saw this one. I know it's UBER old, and from what I've learned has been spotted at some Dollar Trees, but it's soooo pretty. My Dollar Trees don't have squat when it comes to polish, so I did pay more for it, but not much, and nothing I wouldn't pay for a unique fun color, that I own nothing like. Oh and for some reason, unknown by me, I kept smelling my nails, my brain was convinced it was going to smell minty, and was highly disappointed every time, when it didn't, lol. In one word, this polish is def YUM, and did have me craving those Andes Mints.

I think there are some seriously cute colors here, loving the greens especially!  And it may be the supreme nerd in me that absolutely adores the name 'Iceberg Lotus'. Not sure why, but I find it amusing. 'Daffy Dill' makes me chuckle a little too. :-D.

When I get my hands on these, I'll try to get swatches up asap! :)
