Julep - Leslie and Glenda

I know there was a lot of buzz about this month's Julep Maven boxes...

Many people couldn't believe they were doing a crackle polish!!  I know I started doing crackle well over a year ago and haven't done it in ages!

I decided to pick the 'It Girl' box and give it a try.  I wouldn't be a true blogger if I didn't give my honest opinions on all polishes...

So here we have Leslie and Glenda.  Leslie is basically black with a touch of glitter in it.  Glenda being the silver crackle.  I did two coats on Leslie and it covered well. 

I disliked how Glenda went on and was unimpressed with how the crackle looked and the fact that it didn't dry under everything.  I ended up messing this manicure up pretty quickly even after 30 minutes had surpassed...

Glenda to me went on way too thick which hindered the crackle process.  Take a look for yourselves.








While I do love Julep's polish I just wasn't in love with the crackle.  They should stick to regular polish.

Elle - Imperial Purple

So I'm a Kohl's shopper.  I love my 30% off coupons and I love my Kohl's Cash.  This past week I had $20 in Kohl's Cash to spend and this was a painful trip to the store.  I could not decide on ANYTHING!!  The clearance section wasn't doing it for me...  Shoes...  Purses...  NADA!!

So while wandering around makeup I found a tiny section of nail polish made by Elle.

It was originally $10 a bottle but I had $20 in Kohl's Cash!  So with everything I picked up (a pair of earrings and some body spray perfume) I grabbed a bottle.  Cost me less than $10 when all was said and done.

I decided on Imperial Purple.  This polish is really nice.  It's a nice thick polish with really good coverage.  The color was difficult to catch in a picture though.  When it was bright out our you were in direct sunlight it was different from when you were inside.  So I took photos with and without the flash and even a photo outside.

Enjoy!!

Boogeyman ~ Tipsy Turvy Nails

In honor of Halloween, we have created a line of polish after my favorite scary movies. I love scary movies. Even the dumb ones. And, we thought this would be a cool line to introduce. 

This first polish is Boogeyman. This is in honor of Michael Myers...the man who made Halloween a scary time for me...but in a good way. His costume was simple. Blue coveralls and an emotionless facemask with hair...brilliant. And, he was surprisingly quick...he always managed to take one step for the 8 or 9 of the person he was chasing. Makes sense, doesn't it?

And, Boogeyman is available in our Etsy store, Tipsy Turvy Nails. 

The polish has a light silver/blue base with blue matte hexes and regular shiny blue hexes, white and red hexes, silver holographic squares and a rainbow sparkle.

Here we go!
