Now this mani is certainly not perfect but I shall not tell a lie I was in a rush not a good combo with drying polish and tape... eek :/. But other than that I do love this combination of colors. Another plus... it matched my dress for our Christmas party perfectly.

ManGlaze | Fatty's Got More Blood

I feel like maybe I start out some posts a little mean or agressive by saying get out... but if you don't like this I get it (well I don't but I'll play along) For as long as I can remember I have loved all things matte. This polish is NO exception, ManGlaze|Fatty's Got More Blood. Even the name is derogatory how could you not love this! And the label art are you kidding me what isn't to love about this...

Good Morning my dears... normally I am not one for cheery Monday mornings but of course I have stupidly headed on over to Llarowe to check some things out and purchased a Mystery Bag (4 polishes). Anywhoo enough about me back to why you are here... I promise one day I won't go off on a tangent during the intro paragraph. That may be a promise I can't keep. Well today I have for you ladies Hare| Bisbee, I had my eye on this beauty for a while and then decided to impulsively buy this when I saw Llarowe had a restock.

Nail Pattern Boldness | Boop-Oop-A-Dupe

I am a terrible human being I promised this post two days ago but life happened. I am happy to say that I was out of town and was attending a football game of my cousin's. It was a real "nail-biter" if you will ;) Came down to the last 5 seconds, they pulled it out ::whoop whoop:: Anyways that is not what you are here for but I can take a guess as to why you are!

True Story: I planned on NOT changing my polish after a day, for me that is almost unheard of unless it has been a strenuous or longggggg day. Well today was one of those days, I mean who can resist the buttery smooth look of A England's Ophelia. Alas, my razor could not, it wanted nothing to do with it. The razor decides to shave off some polish here and there... GREAT. So here I am opening my drawer of polish (that seems cute to some of you doesn't it a single solitary drawer... not for long though) and BAM! it hits me, literally. I picked it up and it fell on my foot. (If you can't tell from this story I am the clumsiest person you could ever imagine.) So now you know the story of how this combo hit me like a ton of bricks or something like that.
