Different Shades of Blue: Island Girl 2019

Alright kiddies, it's time to play! I'm gonna lure you all in with my pretty polishes mwahahaha. Play with what you ask? Why, mood changing polish of course! Well... that certainly wasn't creepy at all =P. So remember how I hauled a handful of Island Girl polishes way back when? Yeah, I only featured... one... so far. But tis no longer true! Today's mani features another Island Girl polish with the most unique name in the world - 2019! (Wow, someone is in a really sarcastic mood today, huh?) I believe this is part of their permanent line (hrmm, do they even have limited edition polishes?) that is carried in all ABC Stores in Hawaii. And if I'm not mistaken, there are a few ABC Stores in Las Vegas too. Let's have a look shall we? Join me and we shall swim in the sea of this purdy polish!



It's magic!!!





So many different combinations of blues! =D




My eyes can't take enough of this!




Yes ladies & gents, she is a beauty with many faces. Many shimmery beautiful faces. As with most (all?) mood changing polishes, 2019 changes with body temperature. Sometimes, she'll be an electric teal-turquoise when she's feeling warm but she'll immediately change into a darker grey-teal when she's feeling icy cold. Do I sound crazy yet? Hahahah... As a final note, I'd like to give a huge thank you to my sink today for providing assitance with my mani. Without all that wonderful water, I would've had to do a whole lotta body temperature shifting =P.

As a reminder, don't forget to check out my swap list page! You can access it here. See if what I have to offer is on your lemming list!



It's The Posh Polish within The Posh Polish - blogger inception??? Alright, that's enough energy drinks for me today. Happy Tuesday folks!

Cherry Poppin'

My first post. Didn't think I was going to get sucked into the nail polish craze but after several weeks of denial I've come to terms with my new addiction -- just another to add to my long list of obsessions. *le sigh* C'est la vie.

What's a post without pictures, amirite?? Over the last several weeks I started randomly trying out polishes and took some pictures along the way. Taken with my camera phone. Don't hate. Here they are -- please excuse this polish newbie's amateur attempts at painting nails -- growth is good, yeah?!? Pitty points, anyone?

*Claire's - Mood Color Changing Polish in Peaceful/Confident*
Peaceful (darker blue) shown here. 
This is the one that started it all. Given to me by one of my GFs.
I'd wring her neck if I wasn't so happy she gave this to me.

*Wet n Wild -  Heavenly*
This one makes me shudder. Ewww -- I did a terrible job 
at applying this. Took this off probably within 15 minutes.

*Claire's - Mood Color Changing Polish in Happy/Earthy*
I dipped my nails in warm water just to get the effect. 
Pretty cool, I think. And then things just sort of took off from here...

*China Glaze - Pelican Gray, Cosmetic Arts - green/blueish, Cosmetic Arts - purpleish*
My first attempt at creating some type of nail art. It was alright I guess.
Took forever though. This was before I discovered all the secrets 
and tricks to having your nail polish dry faster. Sheesh!

 *China Glaze - Strawberry Fields*
Here's where I started getting a little better at painting my nails.
I also began to invest in a few more polishes. My stash 
has grown ever-so-somewhat-slowly since...

My attempt at a Hello Kitty design using Art Deco Polishes. 
love love LOVE Hello Kitty with a FIERCE passion.

*FingerPaints - Natural Talent*
What I'm currently wearing.  A little more appropriate 
for work, I think. This was 5 coats! I was a little hesitant
when I first saw the color but it turned out nicely. I dunno 
if I have the patience to wear it again anytime soon.

I am very tempted to go to my nearest beauty supply store tomorrow and pick up a buttload of new polishes. I recently made a 20+ polish purchase so I don't think my wallet is too happy with me right now. We shall see...
