<a href="http://www.butterlondon.com/" target="_blank">Butter London</a> has been in the nail polish industry for 10 years and now they've branched out with cosmetics. Imagine my delight when this awesome package landed on my doorstep! I'm a huge makeup wearer and I absolutely love lip products!</div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These 3-in-1 lip crayons have the precision of a lip liner, the shine of a gloss, and the full coverage of a lipstick. They're also infused with mango seed oil and marula oil, which helps with keeping the lips moisturized. Another awesome thing about these lip crayons is that they also contain niacinamide, which is said to be an anti-aging agent and is really popular right now with skin care products.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead of being a twist-top pencil, these come with their own sharpener hidden inside the cap! Perfect for tossing in your purse or makeup bag, or in my case, my scrub pocket ;)</div>

There are 8 shades in this line, one not part of this review is Ladybird, which I will be posting later this weekend. I'm really impressed with these! They are very moisturizing and don't have that sticky feeling you get with traditional glosses or the heaviness as with a normal lipstick. Shown above is just 1 swipe on the inside of my arm, and the color payoff is amazing. Wear time is about 4 hours on me since I drink a lot of coffee and whatnot in the morning. I actually did these swatches about 5 hours ago and after trying to nap, the swatches are still on my arm and have shown minimal fading, although they aren't glossy.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy Tuesday night!! I hope the work week is going well for you! I've spent the most of the last couple of days up to my ears in prior authorizations, so naturally, it's nice to get home and just unwind!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Out of the umpteen bottles of untried polish I have, I decided I really needed to bring out Revlon Royal and Nail Pattern Boldness Boop-Oop-a-Dupe*. Looking back through my blog, I haven't worn this since <a href="http://www.polishedandglittered.com/2013/07/nail-pattern-boldness-boop-oop-dupe-and.html" target="_blank">July of 2013</a>! This is one of my favorite combinations ever and I never get tired of wearing it or seeing it. I took a bajillion photos and managed to narrow down the selection to 4 :P Shown is 2 coats of Revlon Royal with Ellagee Grip as my base, topped with 2 coats of BOaD and 1 coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.</div>
<br />
Picture spam!!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy Sunday!!! Hope everyone is doing well and had a great weekend!! I mostly cleaned and did laundry.. yuck!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last weekend, I stopped at a Walgreen's on my way home from work, hoping to find the Jordana liquid eyeliner, but instead found the L'Oreal Dark Sides of Grey Collection! I absolutely loooove the books.. my copies are quite worn out, but I'm not in love with the mainstream collections that are coming out. I think they're too much grey and dark colors and not at all what the books are really about. It's like the geniuses behind these collections didn't even read the books! That's how much I love the books ;)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TKjtSQ29aOI/VLw7qO7e09I/AAAAAAAACaA/i7kRN4zLmVs/s1600/fifty-shades-darker-loreal-masked-affair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TKjtSQ29aOI/VLw7qO7e09I/AAAAAAAACaA/i7kRN4zLmVs/s1600/fifty-shades-darker-loreal-masked-affair.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having said that, after all the hype and hullabaloo I've read online about Masked Affair, I decided to pick it up since I had a coupon to use anyway. After reading so many reviews on Masked Affair, I already knew I was looking at dragging on the second coat and having to use a third coat to hide said dragging. What I was NOT expecting was dragging on the third coat, especially after letting the first and second coats dry completely before applying the third. I posted about my frustrations on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PolishedAndGlittered/posts/637766546327895" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> last night and some people said they had the same issue, others have suggested letting each coat dry before applying the next, another person said to use a light hand and float the polish on, another said to use a matte topcoat in between coats, while another said to use an aqua basecoat, etc., etc.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway!! Masked Affair is a silvery lavender scattered/linear holo. A really huge deal for a drugstore polish! I used 4 coats total for the photos below and Ellagee Grip (which could have been a factor in application) and on the pinky and middle finger I used Ellagee Glass. At first, top coat does dull the holo completely while wet, but after top coat is dry, the flame comes back. I personally don't think top coat dulls the holo that much. If it does, it's not noticeable.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey there, pinky nail!! Why you so short?? (Corner break so I had to cut my nail down really short.. it's gross!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you look at the index finger on the right side, you can see the drag mark *le sigh*</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Application issues aside, it really is a gorgeous polish and a big step for a mainstream drugstore company, especially since the Sally Hansen Nail Prisms came out years ago! Now to work on the formula! ;)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having said that, any nail polish, whether it be a mainstream brand or an indie, should not have to be so much work to apply. The average person should be able to purchase online or go to the store and buy a polish without worrying about, "Will I need an aqua base coat for this?" or "Are there any tricks to applying this polish? Can I just apply it like any other polish?" How many average people know about the matte top coat trick? I've been blogging for almost 3 years and it's the first I've heard about this. Beautiful polish or not, if it requires a special base coat or if you have to stand on your head while applying the polish to your fingers with your toes and your eyes crossed, I won't buy it or use it.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bought mine at Walgreen's for about $7. I've also seen people say they picked this up at RiteAid. If you don't have a RiteAid but a ton of Walgreen's like I do, what I've learned about new displays is only the high volume stores with a busy cosmetics department get the new stuff. Smaller stores that don't have a lot of volume or don't have a lot of sales in cosmetics won't get the seasonal or promotional displays.</div>
<br />
What do you think? Have you bought this and think it lives up to all the hype?<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy New Year, everyone!! I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve! Sadly, everyone in our house was sick with the flu during Christmas and was still recuperating on New Year's. We're mostly better now, though! :)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now on to the first post of the year! Let's talk about the <a href="http://www.pantone.com/pages/index.aspx?pg=21163&" target="_blank">Pantone Color of the Year 2015</a>, Marsala. When this was announced a couple of months ago, I was very leery about the color. With Radiant Orchid in 2014, I bought everything I could get my hands on (and could afford) that was the color of the year. Marsala looked like a color that I wouldn't be able to pull off with my skin tone. But then Christy at <a href="https://www.kbshimmer.com/" target="_blank">KBShimmer</a> created Men Are From Mars-ala and completely changed my mind!! I don't care if it doesn't go with my skin tone.. I'm gonna rock the COTY!! ;)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Men Are From Mars-ala is an earthy red-brown linear holo. Shown is 2 coats of MAFM using Ellagee Grip and KBShimmer Clearly on Top. Application was smooth as buttah!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then I decided to see how this would look matte! I used Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love and this is just beautiful matte! Now I have the sudden urge to matte all of holos!</div>

Happy Saturday!! Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! I worked a half day today and it was one of the slowest I've worked, now I'm ready for a nap! :P</div>

Pahlish Shadow Proclamation is described as a linear gunmetal holographic with a mix of gunmetal and charcoal flakes with iridescent violet flakes. The darker flakes certainly stand out in this polish! This polish is named for the Shadow Proclamation in Doctor Who, the supreme law of the Universe.</div>

I'm telling you.. Shannon could never, ever, ever go wrong with anything she puts out. All of the polishes I've bought have been absolutely amazing, both in quality and color/finishes.</div>
<br />
Are you a Pahlish fan? Were you able to pick this up before it was gone?<br />
<br />
See you tomorrow for another Pahlish post!! :D<br />

Good morning, everyone!! What's this?? Another post?? Why, yes, yes it is! Our babysitter's last day was supposed to be tomorrow, but she decided not to show up yesterday, so I've been staying home with my 4 year old until we find someone new. I'm able to squeeze in some time to do swatching and blogging.. wooo!!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anywho.. I have another <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Pahlish" target="_blank">Pahlish</a> <a href="http://www.polishedandglittered.com/2014/12/pahlish-good-dalek.html" target="_blank">Bespoke</a> to share with you today! Dark Water is a beautiful violet-blue holo. This was inspired by the Doctor Who episode "Dark Water" from the 11th season. Sadly, I have yet to get caught up on the new season! For some reason, Peter Capaldi isn't quite doing it for me.. LOL.</div>

Happy Monday, everyone!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been on a huuuuuge <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Pahlish" target="_blank">Pahlish</a> kick lately, especially since Shannon has been whipping out Doctor Who inspired polishes left and right! I was able to snag the 3 Bespokes that were released several weeks ago and I have one of them to share with you tonight! I'll have more Pahlish spam for you later this week! ;)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Good Dalek is described as a rose gold holographic with a mix of soft gold, red, and pink flakes. I used 3 coats of TGD with Ellagee Grip and Glass. I just loooove this polish!! It reminds of Rose and the episode "Dalek."</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The flakes get absolutely lost in my photos with that amazing holo! Even under normal lighting, the holo is so beautiful!</div>

Good evening, guys and gals!! To help ease back into blogging, I decided to participate in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/500086953444794/" target="_blank">Challenge Your Nail Art's</a> 12 Days of Christmas!! :D</div>

I absolutely loved the <a href="http://www.polishedandglittered.com/2013/12/snowflake-stamping.html" target="_blank">snowflake stamping</a> I did last year, so I wanted to do something different, remembering I had a new stamping plate from Born Pretty Store to use with an awesome snowflake image on it.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used Dollish Polish It's Bigger on the Inside (very appropriate for this time of the year with Doctor Who and Christmas ;) ) and stamped with QA86 and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep. I also used Ellagee Grip (base coat) and Glass (top coat).</div>
<br />
I'd forgotten how much I loved stamping!<br />

<br />
Good morning!! Hope your day is going well!! :)<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">Today I have all 5 shades from the </span><a href="http://gabrielcosmeticsinc.com/shop/gabriel-color-blockade/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">ColorBLOCKade</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> collection from </span><a href="http://gabrielcosmeticsinc.com/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Gabriel Cosmetics</a><span style="text-align: justify;">! This bright, fun collection consists of 3 cremes and 2 shimmers. I used Ellagee Grip and Glass for all photos and are shown with 2 coats except Golden Yellow, which is 3 coats. Dry time on all of these were fantastic! The black caps can be easily removed for easier application.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Holiday Red is a beautiful cherry red with gold shimmer. The shimmer kind of gets lost after the second coat, but it's still a beautiful color and my favorite from the collection. Perfect for the upcoming holiday!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NrBpyo3opcw/VHuCCksZPSI/AAAAAAAACSs/hvOpIUrguuw/s1600/gabriel_cosmetics_holiday_red.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NrBpyo3opcw/VHuCCksZPSI/AAAAAAAACSs/hvOpIUrguuw/s1600/gabriel_cosmetics_holiday_red.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raspberry is a gorgeous berry creme. This was incredibly glossy on it's own. Definitely a favorite and one that can be worn year round. Cremes and I don't along at all, so I'm pretty impressed with the formula on this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IT0s9M5eqRQ/VHuDlKCVgsI/AAAAAAAACS4/0hKQ3VNvIT8/s1600/gabriel_cosmetics_raspberry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IT0s9M5eqRQ/VHuDlKCVgsI/AAAAAAAACS4/0hKQ3VNvIT8/s1600/gabriel_cosmetics_raspberry.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cashmere is a mannequin hands/taupe creme that actually looks gorgeous with my skin tone. It's hard to find a shade this color that doesn't make me look red! Has the same great formula as Raspberry.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3_cwvcxgDag/VHuEUkPqvJI/AAAAAAAACTA/pkmuU7KuFxA/s1600/gabriel_cosmetics_cashmere.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3_cwvcxgDag/VHuEUkPqvJI/AAAAAAAACTA/pkmuU7KuFxA/s1600/gabriel_cosmetics_cashmere.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Petrol Blue is a bluish-grey creme that leans more on the blue side. Very beautiful color and great formula as well!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uHQ0MFH1GnM/VHuE6yAp4rI/AAAAAAAACTI/3819imPmQyQ/s1600/gabriel_cosmetics_petrol_blue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uHQ0MFH1GnM/VHuE6yAp4rI/AAAAAAAACTI/3819imPmQyQ/s1600/gabriel_cosmetics_petrol_blue.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly, we have Golden Yellow, AKA the troublemaker. Golden Yellow is a banana yellow with a shimmer that fails to photograph on the nail. I really wanted to love this color. It makes my skin look all sorts of weird. Yellows and my skin tone don't get along. I did have to use 3 coats to get rid of any streakiness the second coat left. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, this is a really great collection. I'm really impressed with the quality and formula of these polishes. Each polish is 14ml and retails for $8.50 per bottle. Gabriel Cosmetics has more than just nail polish! They have a huge range of cosmetics, from lipsticks to brushes to kids bath products.

Yep yep!! Another post for you today!!</div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This post is long overdue and I sincerely apologize to everyone, especially Laura!!</div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://ellagee.com/" target="_blank">Ellagee</a> recently released 3 collections and I have the <a href="http://ellagee.com/collections/907512-bling-in-the-new-year" target="_blank">Bling in the New Year</a> collection to share with you today! Hard to believe the end of the year is a month away!!</div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bling in the New Year is a 6-piece collection of sheer shimmers with a dusting of holo micro glitters and they are absolutely beeeeautiful!! I was drooling the entire several times I swatched these! These can be worn alone or layered on top of another color, I chose to show these on their own. Each bottle also comes with a removable iridescent crystal ring. This is a photo heavy post, so check out the rest of the review after the jump!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy Sunday!! I'm finally able (wanting?) to sit down, edit photos, and do some blogging!! Woohoo!!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you've read my blog for a while, then you know I'm a huge <a href="http://www.polishedandglittered.com/search/label/Doctor%20Who" target="_blank">Doctor Who fan</a>. Seriously.. as I'm writing this blog post, I'm <strike>watching</strike> rewatching Season 2 for the gazillionth time this year! ;)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shannon from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Pahlish" target="_blank">Pahlish</a> is a goddess when it comes to nail polish and Doctor Who inspired ones! A few weeks ago, she released a couple of Bespokes that were Who inspired. I was able to snag Sexy Fish Vampires, a beautiful "candy pink linear holographic packed with iridescent hot pink flakes." Sexy Fish Vampires refers to the Saturnyns from the episode "The Vampires of Venice." I'm really kicking myself for not getting the other one!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cpnBVrod3e8/VHtmNmZgU7I/AAAAAAAACSc/CazHtx0rsKA/s1600/pahlish_sexy_fish_vampires.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cpnBVrod3e8/VHtmNmZgU7I/AAAAAAAACSc/CazHtx0rsKA/s1600/pahlish_sexy_fish_vampires.jpg" height="640" width="560" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even taken in my light tent with artificial daylight lighting, you can see the gorgeous holo! I'm not really a pink person, but this is one of my favorite polishes. I used 3 coats of SFV and Ellagee Grip and Glass. Application was amazing! I had some pulling on the second coat, but that's to be expected from holos. The third coat evened everything out and the polish is the right consistency so it's not thick. Unfortunately, this isn't available for purchase anymore, but you may be able to pick it up from a blog sale! Be sure to follow <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Pahlish" target="_blank">Pahlish</a> on Facebook for restocks, sneak peeks of new collections, Bespokes and Duos!!</div>

Howdy do!! I know, I know.. it's been forever and a day since I've posted :( Everything is crazy at work with the remodel, it seems like I'm doing a lot more at work apart from my normal duties, and when I get home and do "mom" things, there just isn't time to do anything nail polish related. But alas!! I was inspired by some of <a href="http://instagram.com/sveta_sanders" target="_blank">sveta_sanders</a> work on Instagram and had to do some stamping! :D</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was going for a fall floral theme. I did a gradient using <a href="https://www.kbshimmer.com/" target="_blank">KBShimmer</a> Rust No One and Up & Cunning from the Fall 2014 collection, and Sally Hansen Salon Nail Lacquer Black Patent and EDM05. I am in love with the <a href="http://emilydemolly.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Emily de Molly</a> stamping plates, so I knew this stamp would be beautiful! Seriously, I've been wearing this for over a week now! I used <a href="http://ellagee.com/" target="_blank">Ellagee</a> Grip and Glass for my base and top coats. Can I just say here how much I love Glass?! Like, honestly?? This is the first time since I've been stamping that a top coat did not smear my designs!! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm absolutely in love with this! Gradients and stamping are definitely becoming my thing. My 8 year old daughter loved this so much I had to do her nails the same way!</div>

<br />
Hey all!! I was hoping to have this up Sunday, but somehow the weekend got away from me!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was fortunate enough to be chosen to review a couple of polishes from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reverienaillacquer">Reverie Nail Lacquer</a>'s Fall Collection (formerly Two Gypsies Nail Lacquer). Both polishes I received are absolutely gorgeous!! I was in love as soon as I pulled them out of the package <3 I also received a cuticle balm that's cranberry scented!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sum2TKeDAYY/VBkIyNpHV2I/AAAAAAAACO8/mu5Ew52X4qE/s1600/Reverie-Nail-Lacquer-Fall-2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sum2TKeDAYY/VBkIyNpHV2I/AAAAAAAACO8/mu5Ew52X4qE/s1600/Reverie-Nail-Lacquer-Fall-2014.jpg" height="492" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Dog Days is a pale blue jelly with blue and yellow hex glitters in various sizes, as well as iridescent hex glitters.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QksDWs6hnLw/VBkK9J5e_HI/AAAAAAAACPI/Xrx1xaebKKY/s1600/Reverie-Nail-Lacquer-Dog-Days-Bottle-Shot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QksDWs6hnLw/VBkK9J5e_HI/AAAAAAAACPI/Xrx1xaebKKY/s1600/Reverie-Nail-Lacquer-Dog-Days-Bottle-Shot.jpg" height="524" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shown is 3 coats and top coated with Ellagee Glass. Application was amazing for something filled to the brim with glitters. I did have to fish for the larger hex glitters, but a lot of them were easy to get out. Dog Days usually refers to the hot period between August and September and this is definitely fitting! This will be perfect for spring, my second favorite season (fall being my first!)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GDw2nKRftl0/VBkMY8hRDLI/AAAAAAAACPU/ApjSm5eeWPk/s1600/Reverie-Nail-Lacquer-Dog-Days.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GDw2nKRftl0/VBkMY8hRDLI/AAAAAAAACPU/ApjSm5eeWPk/s1600/Reverie-Nail-Lacquer-Dog-Days.jpg" height="488" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, for me, the star of the show! Nightfall.. there are just no words to describe how lovely this polish is. It was love at first swipe! Nightfall is a dusty sable-lilac with teal micro glitters and a beautiful holo shimmer running throughout it. Shown is 3 coats and top coated with Ellagee Glass.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-POKk2JmIjkk/VBkOOCKEy7I/AAAAAAAACPg/e59Ji8vwHbI/s1600/Reverie-Nail-Lacquer-Nightfall-Bottle-Shot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-POKk2JmIjkk/VBkOOCKEy7I/AAAAAAAACPg/e59Ji8vwHbI/s1600/Reverie-Nail-Lacquer-Nightfall-Bottle-Shot.jpg" height="452" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Look at her glow!! There really are no words to describe how beautiful this polish is! I can't even accurately describe the base color.. is it purple? Is it brown? Raisin?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQPEO5fiPro/VBkOjt-s0ZI/AAAAAAAACPo/YEl4LX1HBiE/s1600/Reverie-Nail-Lacquer-Nightfall-Blurred.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQPEO5fiPro/VBkOjt-s0ZI/AAAAAAAACPo/YEl4LX1HBiE/s1600/Reverie-Nail-Lacquer-Nightfall-Blurred.jpg" height="492" width="640" /></a></div>

And some fun macro shots for your viewing pleasure ;)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't have a review of the cuticle balm since I really haven't had a chance to test it out, but I did want to share some quick thoughts about it! I absolutely love the scent.. it's not overpowering, but the scent does linger, which I personally like. I could smell the cranberry scent as soon as I took off the protective wrapper. It smells so yummy I want to eat it! The cuticle balms come in a twist-up type tube that lip balms usually come in. I find it really convenient since I like to put my cuticle stuff in my smock pocket for work, and these take up less space in my pocket. There are several scents available, as well as unscented.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fall collection of polishes will be available to order on Reverie Nail Lacquer's <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/reverienaillacquer">shop</a> on September 27th. All polishes are 3-free and cruelty free. Be sure to like them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reverienaillacquer">Facebook</a> to keep with news, current and future collections!

Hey guys!! Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm and dry! It's been chilly and rainy here in Central Illinois. Fall is my favorite season, but I'm not a fan of the rain! On a side note, I think I finally figured out a way to blog and watch TV from my laptop at the same time! ;)<br />

Hi guys!! It's been forever since I've been able/wanting to blog! I'm slowly getting back into loving nail polish and wanting to paint my nails. Tuesday night, I decided to actually sit down and do some kind of nail art. I can tell I've been out of the nail polish game for awhile because everything I tried was a huge flop!! This time, I was determined to get it right!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used Nail Pattern Boldness Hello Sweetie for my base polish, which is one of my most absolute favorite Doctor Who nail polishes, and makes me so ready for fall!! I stamped using Pueen SE04B and Essie Penny Talk and mattified it with Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love. For whatever reason, the polish doesn't look matte, but I promise you, it is!! I was trying to go for an autumnal flower-y look :P</div>

Jelly polishes and I don't get along!! My polish shrank as soon as I top coated it :( Regardless, I still love this and stamping over glitter-based polishes is one of my favorite things to do :D</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey guys!! I was recently send the <a href="http://www.influenster.com/">Influenster</a> TLC (Tender Loving Care) VoxBox, which is great for moms on-the-go! I really love getting the VoxBoxes from Influenster and this was no exception! Keep reading for what I got and my opinion of everything!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GtwqXzKiFU8/U8Xab6Ic2II/AAAAAAAACKM/_Rs8RTcSFE4/s1600/Influenster-TLC-VoxBox.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GtwqXzKiFU8/U8Xab6Ic2II/AAAAAAAACKM/_Rs8RTcSFE4/s1600/Influenster-TLC-VoxBox.jpg" height="633" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Neosporin Neo to Go! | $4.97-7.50, prices may vary at different stores/locations - I'm a huge fan of Neosporin. Having two kids who are constantly tripping over their own two feet, we see a lot of boo boos! This is perfect for tucking away in your purse or diaper bag, or even stashing in your desk drawer for those pesky paper cuts!</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Shell Fuel Rewards Network Card - I really need to start using this! The FRN program is a (free) loyalty program that helps save money on gas. Currently, new members can save 25 cents per gallon on the second fill and 3 cents per gallon after! I conveniently live down the street from a Shell station, so it would make sense to start using this since I get most of my gas there ;) And it's easy to use! Use swipe your card at the pump before you use your credit/debit card if you pay at the pump like I do!</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Avon Anew Reversalist Express Wrinkle Smoother | $30 - I love Avon products.. I've loved them since I was a kid and my mom and grandma would order Avon. I was really excited about getting this product since I'm at the age where I'm starting to get fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eye area. I've only used this a couple of times, so I haven't noticed any difference. This is supposed to "instantly" blur the look of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. It's a cream-to-powder formula and does feel really silky.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*If you're interested in checking out more Avon Anew products like this, be sure to check out <a href="http://www.avon.com/">AVON.com</a> and use the code ANEW15 to receive 15% of your purchase of $50 or more! Code is valid until 8/1/14. (This is for direct delivery only!)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Puffs to Go: Puffs Plus Lotion | 49 cents per single pack, prices may vary at different stores/locations - With the cool weather hitting Illinois right now, these are perfect for tucking in purses, pockets, diaper bags, especially for me, since I seem to catch a cold whenever there is a dramatic temperature change. I love the Puffs Plus Lotion because it's soothing on your nose and doesn't feel like you're wiping or blowing your nose with sandpaper.. LOL.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Ivory Bar Soap | $3.99 for a 10-pack, prices may vary at different stores/locations - I'll be honest. I cannot stand bar soap. I don't like how dry and tight my skin feels after using bar soap, so I stick to shower gels. Ivory is 99.44% pure and contains no dyes or heavy perfumes. I probably won't use this in the shower, but since I'm a huge DIYer on cleaning products and whatnot, I'm going to search the interwebz for other uses! :)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Breyers Gelato Indulgences | $4.49-5.99, prices may vary at different stores/location - I've never heard of this before getting the TLC VoxBox. I'll have to look for these the next time I go grocery shopping. Currently, it looks like there are only 4 flavors.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall, this was another great box! Definitely a lot of stuff I'll be using! :D</div>

<a href="http://lifeinlacquer.blogspot.com/">Life in Lacquer</a> is hosting the Life in Lacquer July Nail Art Challenge and I'm also participating in this month's Challenge Your Nail Art, with the theme being Embrace Your Geekness. Can you say that I totally geeked out when I saw what the prompts for today were for both challenges?! ;) I missed the first day on the Life in Lacquer Nail Art Challenge, but I did do the second one (with a blog post coming soon!) So now we're on the 10th, Film or TV Inspired.. scroll down for the CYNA themes!! Faaandom!!</div>

Ahshjkghkdjhgjdkg.. that's how I pretty much was!! For those who know me, I am a huuuge Whovian/Doctor Who fan and I knew I wanted to do something themed around that. So what better way to represent Doctor Who than galazy nails and the TARDIS?! My freehand skills are non-existent, but I love how the TARDIS turned out!! :D</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used Milani Black Swift as my base color, sponged on Orly Gumdrop, Zoya Song, Audrina, and Purity, and added China Glaze Fairy Dust to the open black areas. I used white acrylic paint for the stars. I used acrylic paint for the TARDIS. My nail beds are so tiny I couldn't actually write Police Box on it :P<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hi guys!! I really wanted to get back into nail art since that's why I fell in love with nail polish to begin with, so here's something I did for the 4th of July!! :) I used Zoya Song as my base color on all nails, then using the <a href="http://www.polishedandglittered.com/search/label/Saran%20Wrap">plastic wrap</a> technique, added random splotches to all my nails (except the ring finger) using Zoya Livingston, Purity, and Song. Almost looks like splatter nails! On my accent nail, I sponged on <a href="http://www.polishedandglittered.com/2013/06/shimmer-swatch-and-review-part-ii.html">Shimmer Nichole</a>. Not your typical 4th of July stuff, but I absolutely love it! ;)</div>

Happy Sunday! PopSugar has been around for about a year or so, but little did I know that they have a monthly subscription service! The <a href="https://musthave.popsugar.com/" target="_blank">Must Have Box</a> is comprised of hand-selected items and include something from beauty, fashion, home, fitness, and food. All items are full-sized and premium products. Subscriptions are $39.95 a month and include free shipping!</div>

June's box was themed around summer and vacations. I was pretty excited to see what came in the box! Let's get to it, shall we?! :)</div>

Hey guys!! I just wanted to stop by and give a short update as to why I haven't been blogging as much as I used to.. Honestly, with having no time to do anything, I fell off the nail polish bandwagon :( I work full time, I'm mom to two kiddos, so with that comes housework and doing mom stuff. We recently pulled our kids from daycare and hired an in-home babysitter, so that is messing with my sleep schedule a lot since I have to get up earlier! I'm usually asleep by 9-10. I'm hoping to get back to blogging and swatching and doing my absolute favorite, nail art. My nails haven't been painted in about two months. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see that I've been doing a lot of FOTD posts because makeup is my first love, followed by nail polish. I have the spring collections from Zoya and Barielle to swatch today.. that is my goal!! Get all of those swatched and put on the blog before I go to bed tonight!! Thank you to those who are still following me, and I'm sorry to those who have unfollowed due to lack of posting.. I completely understand!!</div>
