Whimsy, Ciao Milano, & Oceanic Forces

So now not only did my middle fingernail become a nub, my ring fingernail did too! I might just cut them all to balance everything out.

I do have a few swatches that I didn't post yet.

Here is one featuring one of my absolute favorite shades of blue, Whimsy by Picture Polish. I actually got a lot of compliments on my mani that day.

I have a few colors by Picture Polish and they are easy to apply. They are color-accurate as far as bottles and swatches, so if you get one you won't be disappointed. The only thing I was ever "meh" about was Revolution (the glitter peel-off basecoat) but that's for another review. :) If anyone else has tried it, let me know what you thought of it!

Index and pinky- Whimsy (the index finger also has a holo topcoat by Pixie Polish- unfortunately right now she had to close her etsy store) Middle finger has Enchanted Ciao Milano, and the ring finger has Emily de Molly Oceanic Forces! I was so happy when I finally got Oceanic Forces! It took me at least 3 or 4 tries to finally get it.


I took this picture outside. Maybe I should have used some more Glitter Food on my ring fingr? LOL




Inside with flash (makes it hard to read the bottle, huh?)

no flash, naturally blurry
For some reason the living in my lighting room is really great at picking up holos!

My first Enchanteds and NFU-oh's!

I was able to get my very first Enchanted Polishes, thanks to the lovely Leah at llarowe making sure people could only get one bottle of each color. I got them in the mail yesterday!!

I have been wanting to try some of these colors for months! I wasn't able to get Ocean Potion, since it seemed to sell out in .02 of a nanosecond. I also wasn't able to get any of the Dance Legend holos.

From left to right (over Layla softouch effect in black)- sit back and get comfortable, since I went a little buckwild this time!

I think the thumb is Magical Mystery Tour? It looks so similar to Across the Universe (on my pinky) that I was having difficulty telling. My thumbnail got a crack on the side and broke beyond repair. I tried using the teabag method to fix it, but I couldn't get the glue to stick right.

Hey Jude is on my pointer finger. That was my rogue wonky nail, but it broke :( I don't know why Hey Jude looks so silver in the pictures. I thought it would look more similar to my ring finger.
My middle finger has Ciao Milano on it (similar colors to Magical Mystery Tour and Across the Universe, but made entirely of glitter!) It reminds me of Jupiter Aurora by Coco Allure. Has anyone done any comparisons?
I also put a holo I got from Pixie Polish on top of Ciao Milano to add some extra rainbowy-ness.
My ring Finger has Deviantly Daring by China Glaze. Then I added Cosmic Forces by Girly Bits to add a blue tint. I also got my first NFU-oh's (I heard the flakies are being discontinued soon!) I tried doing a split of  the flakies #54 and #56.

I guess you can see the flakies more from this angle:
(Excuse the cleanup- at first I tried using Orion by Crowstoes on my pointer finger but I didn't like the shade of green it turned out as.. but for some reason the green in Hey Jude is not wanting to show up in these pictures at all!)

Enchanted is also known for their lovely packaging. They have a castle on both the bottle an the box.

With flash in my bathroom lighting, there's too much glare to see it: (Holding a bottle of Hey Jude- notice my pointer fingernail now looks purple instead of gray/silver? The bottle also looks kind of purple)
With the flash off, you can see the famous castle logo, and the bottle and my pointer finger FINALLY look green!

The logo also reminds me of a cool Gothic clock that style.ly had on their Facebook page the other day. That picture is here.

Ninja Polish Mystic Glacier and 100% Columbian

I am absolutely obsessed with duochromes and multichromes! When Ninja Polish released new colors to the Enigma collection, I was thrilled- especially because I missed my chance to try Alexandrite (which has my favorite colors, blue and green in it.)

Mystic Glacier is stunning and magical. It looks like the amazing underwater shots I have seen other bloggers post-- but in normal lighting.

Somehow, just in normal inside lighting, it looked different on all my fingers!!!

L to R- Mystic Glacier- pointer finger is layered over Picture Polish Warning and Layla Ceramic Effects #64. Middle and Pinky are over Revlon Royal. I think my pinky is reflecting the colors in 100% Columbian (which also has a holo made by Pixie Polish on top)

This is one coat with no top coat!


This polish is so amazing, I am totally speechless. If you could imagine this song being about this nail polish, it would tell you how I feel about it.
