Hello my lovely readers! Today I have a swatch and review of OPI's You're Such a Budapest and some peacock nail art to share!
This lovely lady posted in Reddit Laqueristas about her sick little sister recently, and it touched so many of us who frequent the subreddit. She painted a beautiful peacock on her sister's heart monitor because her sister, Hannah, loves peacocks. Here is her original post. If you're reading this, you should do some peacock nails too and post them to Reddit Laqueristas :). My heart goes out to Hannah and her family, I hope when she sees this it makes her smile!
I feel strange putting a review in this post so I'll keep it brief. This is just two coats of You're Such a Budapest because it had a perfect formula! It has some silver and possibly pink shimmer that's only visible in the Sun (you can see it in the sunny pictures coming up).
I know I'm not very good at painting anything realistic, but I really wanted to do the best peacock nails I could for Hannah! The green seen here is Essie Mojito Madness, the orange is Essie Tart Deco, and the blue is Sally Hansen Pacific Blue.
A picture of my dominant hand that's bad at posing :P.
Thank you for reading everyone! Go get your peacock nails on! :)

Sonnetarium's Blueberry Yogurt! :)
I got four lovely Sonnetarium polishes in the mail yesterday so I thought I'd share Blueberry Yogurt with you lovely people! It has a gorgeous blue and purple shimmer that is difficult to capture on camera (you can kind of see it in the last picture). Let me know if you'd be interested in seeing Vines of me moving my nails in the Sun when I wear a shimmery or glittery polish! Laura at Polish All The Nails does that and it's such a clever idea! You guys should check her out if you've never seen her before, she's so talented, I absolutely love her blog!
To get back on topic, Blueberry Yogurt is a beautiful medium purple jelly with dark blue small circle glitters and dark blue medium-sized hexagon glitters. I layered one coat of it over two coats Essie Play Date which is a bit of a warmer and less blue medium purple (so the colour Blueberry Yogurt appears on my nails isn't an accurate representation). I absolutely love the look of three coats of an indie jelly polish, but I keep buying small bottles of indie polish and I can't bear to waste them! I promise that the next indie glitter I wear I'll wear on its own! As I said above, Blueberry Yogurt also has a gorgeous blue and purple shimmer in it that doesn't photograph well. You can see the shimmer without sunlight, because it's darker and more blue than the polish. It almost looks like blue dust particles when not lit up by the Sun. So either way, it's a seriously awesome looking polish!
Onto the pictures!
