Thanks so much! I'll always take requests for nail art, swatches, or any other kind of nail polish related post any of you would like to see! I think I'll post a nail polish and nail art supplies collection post later today, because I got a couple of cool scrapbooking containers to store my glitters, nail art brushes, and other tools yesterday! :)
On a side note, this is my 100th post, I seriously can't believe I've posted that much since I made this blog!

Black Sheep Lacquer Swatches: Hitman, First Polish on the Moon and Confused Canary :)
Hello everybody! Today I have three more Black Sheep Lacquer lovelies to show you all! These polishes were generously sent to me for swatches! I think I'll be putting together a black and white glitter topper comparison post soon, because in addition to BSL A Letter to the New York Post I have two other similar toppers.
These polishes had awesome formulas as expected, so onto the pictures!
First up is Hitman, a very dark grey linear holographic polish with small silver holographic glitters tossed in too! This polish is too beautiful for words, I'd seriously suggest you just buy it! This is one coat over two different dark Essie colours, but as you can see, the polish looks the same over both so any dark colour will work beautifully! I had to post five photos instead of four for this one because it's so gorgeous!
Lastly, we have Confused Canary, a matte black, white, yellow and pink glitter topper with tiny silver holographic glitter throughout! I think I got every kind of glitter on my nails except the matte white bar glitter, in case you're wondering what glitters this polish contains! This is one coat over my undies, China Glaze For Audrey (turquoise), Color Club Poptastic (pink) and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (white)!
Thanks for reading everyone! I've added a bunch of buttons to the right sidebar so you can find me on other social media sites! If you followed me on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or Instagram I'd be so happy! :)

Next is First Polish on the Moon, a neon pink jelly polish with small silver holographic glitter! I took pictures in sunlight to show the holographic glitter and in indirect light to show a more colour-accurate swatch of the polish. This is two coats over two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls!

OPI's Honey Ryder and Flower Stamping!
Hey all! Today I have swatches of OPI Honey Ryder and some stamping nail art on top to show you! What you see here is two easy coats of Honey Ryder! The only complaint I have about this polish is that it seems to wear off the tips much quicker than other polishes (but I think all other textured polishes I've tried do too).
Onto the pictures!
The stamping plate I used for this was Bundle Monster's BM-224 and the polish I used to stamp with was Essie Bobbing for Baubles!
Thanks for stopping by everyone! I love to see your comments, so feel totally free to comment about anything you like! I'll be posting another Black Sheep Lacquer swatch post including the swatches I Instagrammed and tweeted yesterday, just as soon as they've been named!

Black Sheep Lacquer Swatches: Badass, Major Tom and A Letter to the New York Post!
Hello my lovelies! Today I got bored and decided to start swatching my new Black Sheep Lacquer polishes! I keep buying and getting sent them for swatching and they're all so awesome!
They all had lovely formulas as I've come to expect, so onto the swatches!
This amazing polish is called Badass and it's definitely that! I actually think this one is my favourite of the twenty-one Black Sheep Lacquer polishes I own. Badass is a green to purple duo-chrome polish with a pinch of scattered holographic glitter thrown in. It also looks like a charcoal colour at certain angles... basically it's just incredibly stunning. This polish was so generously sent to me for swatches! This is two coats!
Undies for the next polish! Two coats of American Apparel Coney Island.
This is Major Tom (a reference to David Bowie's Space Oddity, love him!), a pink jelly base with tiny silver glitter, small silver holographic bar glitter, small matte light pink hexes, medium-sized matte light pink circles and large hot pink matte hearts! As if all that wasn't cool enough, this polish also glows greenish yellow in the dark! This is just one coat over my undies!
As you can see, the glow effect isn't super strong, but that makes it easier to sleep while wearing!
Undies for the last polish of this post! Two coats of Essie Play Date (purple) and one coat of Essie Mojito Madness (green).
Finally, we have A Letter to the New York Post, a whole bunch of matte black and white glitters of all shapes and sizes in a clear base! This is just one coat over my undies!
Thanks for reading everybody! Stay tuned for swatches of three more Black Sheep Lacquer polishes tomorrow!

Facebook Page and Twitter Account Announcement!
Hey everybody! I recently made a Facebook page and much more recently made a Twitter account for all my nail stuff.
On my Facebook page I post pictures of each different polish I swatch or of each bit of nail art I do and then a link to my blog post about it! I update my cover photo on Facebook as my collection changes, so feel free to comment/email me/tweet me/message my Facebook page any requests for swatches you have. I'd be happy to swatch any of my polishes for you!
On my Twitter account I'll be posting sneak peeks such as pictures of the item that inspired me to do some nail art (before I post the nail art) or pictures of polishes I'll be swatching soon! I'll also be posting pictures of nail art done on my family/friends because I'm thinking of only posting my own nails on my blog (in an effort to be more professional). I think I'll also tweet about what I think of upcoming collections, what I'm lemming at the moment, pictures of new polishes I've bought, and pleas to talk me out of buying new polish! :P I'll also post Vines of my nails if they're sparkly! :)
I added buttons in the right sidebar of this blog so you can find me on Facebook and Twitter easily and hopefully follow me there too! I'd be so happy if you did! Let me know if there's any other social media sites you like to browse and I should join!
If you check out my Twitter you can see the six Black Sheep Lacquer lovelies I'll start swatching for you tomorrow! Feel free to comment on this post or tweet me which three you're dying to see sooner because I'll swatch three tomorrow and three the next day! Also feel free to comment/email me/tweet me/etc. any requests you ever have for nail art or tutorials or both! I'll be posting some lovely paisley nail art I did on my mom on my Twitter within the hour, so check that out too! :)
Thanks so much for reading!!

Bird Nail Art To Match My Scarf! :)
Hello my wonderful readers! Today I have what might be my favourite nail art I've ever done to show you! I got two lovely circle scarves on my four day beach vacation and I decided I'd do nail art inspired by each of them!
As you'll probably notice, I filed my nails down a considerable amount after my last post! One of my nails broke a week or two ago and it had gotten worse so I decided to shorten them. I'm not sure if I like them yet haha, but they'll grow back!
So here we go, onto a bunch of pictures of my bird-scarf-inspired mani! Stay tuned for some nail art inspired by my other scarf and some more Black Sheep Lacquer swatches in a few days!
For the base of this design I used two coats of American Apparel Trenchcoat and a coat of top coat. Then I went in with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls to do the branches and the little birdies!
Thank you for reading! I hope you all like this much as I do! :)
