The good news is that when I'm lazy about what to post (i.e. pulling pictures from my vault), I up my pun game and you get fun titles like today. Get ready for the puns, BOOM. (Actually, I'm not very punny, so don't set your expectations very high.)
Lumina Lacquer Chinese Lanterns over some nude polish. I honestly just searched my notes for about 15 minutes and either this swatch occurred while I was dreaming (it is a dreamy polish) or I forgot to write notes down. Anyway, you get the idea. Of course, this is the quintessential "Amanda polish" with hearts and lots of glitter. I am really fond of Lumina Lacquer, she's made her way up into my very favorites!
Here's Sinful Colors Flutter. This was 3 coats and it had an annoying, gloopy formula. I think this might already have a new home for someone with patience and thinner :)
I added Memo's Mind Faerie Dust which was super easy to apply and this is one coat. There's butterfly glitter in there, can you find it?!
Last for today is Nicole by OPI All Kendalled Up. This is two coats and the formula was just perfect. Plus, I actually really liked this color on me. It's a little more red IRL.
I added Different Dimension Rainbows & Butterflies on top which is not for me. Nothing with her formula or anything but I wasn't a fan of the shimmer which overloaded it, IMO. Definitely a very fairy feel (which I guess relates more to the previous glitter than this but we're on a fairy theme now, people! Keep up!). She also has found a new purpose, which you'll be seeing in the next couple days in the form of a giveaway :)
Finally, please enjoy this vintage picture of baby Lulu. This is from my October 3rd album so it's when she's not quite a year, I think. She quite enjoys my lightbox and I frequently chase her out of it but this particular time she had already started napping, sitting up, when I got to her so naturally she stayed inside and you guys get a picture instead. Enjoy!
xoxo,
Amanda

Untrieds: Sally Hansen Carribean Coral
Hey everyone! Sorry this post is late. I have another post I'm drafting too with my explanation of why but the post at hand is more important :) Today Amanda, Sarah, and I are back with our untrieds challenge and I actually didn't cheat (much).
This base is Sally Hansen Carribean Coral which is a red-leaning coralcreme, though the bottle looks like it has shimmer. It didn't translate to the nail so I'm calling it a creme :) Application was easy in two coats, no top coat in this picture.
Then I felt bored and had leftover Valentine's Day thoughts floating in my head so I did a simple skittle mani using my white dotter. My heart's wonky so it looks like a weird triangle but whatever. The glitter on my accent nail is Different Dimension Love Her? I Don't Even Lacquer! which had really good glitter payoff but I had to fish for the heart to get it out of the bottle :( It's a fun color anyway and I'll try thinning it for next time.
There you go, happy Thursday!

February Untrieds 3!
Good morning! Today I'm back with Sarah and Amanda for our untrieds challenge. But it also is the week of Valentine's Day so you bet your bottom dollar I have a twist in this cremes challenge! I have another Butter London polish for you today, this is Kerfluffle, which I admit I would have bought just for the name. A quick google search tells me it means "a commotion or fuss" so there's your fact of the day. Learn some knowledge, kids. Anywho, Kerfluffle had perfect perfect perfect application! Below is 2 coats with no top coat (or clean up, actually! boom!). I thought this was baby pink when I bought it but it's more of a peach with pink undertones as you can see below. Loves it! *snuggles bottle*
But for Valentine's Day I'm using hearts hearts hearts galore! So here it is with Different Dimension ...more on top. Every finger has a heart but they're different colors so the lighter ones blend in a bit. I had to fish LIKE CRAZY to get the hearts out of this and was not super pleased but I was determined so here we go!
Thoughts? Disbelief that there's even more heart glitters in my stash?
