Cirque Tibetan Nights

Tibetan Nights is another gorgeous polish from Cirque. Deep blue jelly with tiny silver glitter throughout. Unlike a lot of glitter polishes the glitter ends up on the inside of the polish on not on top.
Look at that beautiful blue!

Sun and shade!


I used 3 coats of Tibetan Nights and one coat of Seche Vite top coat. I started out with 2 but i think 3 coats really did the trick.

Cirque Epoch

I've had my eye on Cirque's Epoch for a while. Green and purple duochrome, how could I go wrong!? It's opague in two coats. Smells like clary sage. I've read that some people can't smell it or it's very faint. I certainly can smell it even a few hours after I've painted my nails.
Shines mostly green with purple around the edges.


Two coats of Epoch and one of Seche Vite Fast Drying top coat.

Lime Crime PEACHES ♥ CREAM

If you are looking for an orange polish that is pastel and a cream and neon and amazing then Lime Crime's Peaches ♥ Cream is the one for you.


 3 coats of Peaches ♥ Cream and one of Seche Vite top coat.

It looks kind of scary on my long nails. Probably better for shorter nails. But it is so beautiful I can't stop looking at it. I'm afraid I might cause a car accident! And my family is starting to get annoyed with me showing them my beautiful cream, pastel, neon, orange nails.


This stuff almost glows!

Butter London The Black Knight

Last week, during their 21 Days of Beauty, Ulta had Butter London Nails Lacquers buy one get one. I jumped at the chance to try it out. Butter London usually cost $14, a little steep for me, but I could justify two for the price of one.

The first polish I picked out was The Black Knight. It's a black base with tons of pink, blue and sliver glitter. Most of the glitter is pink so that's why it seems to be purple in the bottle.


The Black Knight is pretty thick, it must be all that glitter, and a little difficult to work with. I did manage to get 3 thin coats on my nails.

 So after I painted my nails I thought it would be a great time to wash and wax my car.

3 coats of the Black Knight, one of SV top coat and a whole bunch of car wax.

Now if I could only find nail polish that matched my car.

nails inc. Franklins Row

Finally quit my job at the deli where the combination of plastic gloves, endless hand washing and commercial grade dish detergent really did a number on my manicure. It would be unbelievable if I could get through one hour of work before having my polish chip off in huge chunks. Hopefully my new job won't be so tough on my nails!

Nails Inc Franklins Row is a purple blue shimmer. I used one coat of Seche Vite Base Coat, three coats of polish and Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat.
