<br />
Last time I posted I was talking about getting started with the <a href="http://tidyingup.com/">KonMari Method</a>. While I haven't done it all completely properly, I <i>have</i> managed to rid my house of tons of clutter. I still have a lot to do but I am enjoying my home more and more. I have also done some massive nail polish purging, check out my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/ShelbyLouNails/nail-polish-sale/"><b>Blog Sale</b></a> if you're interested in acquiring some new pretties yourself!<br />
<br />
Today's mani is "<b>Spooky</b>" and will also be my Halloween mani this week. I have been wanting to try the smokey nail technique and went for some spooky fog, or perhaps supernatural mist if you will. I used <b>Chalkboard Nails' <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nCX4BIc4vw">Midnight Smoke Nail Art Tutorial</a></b>. It was the first search result and ended up being all the instruction needed!<br />
<br />
As I tend to do, I wore my black base of <b>Cult Nails Fetish</b> (topcoated) for a day before doing my art. Chalkboard Nails used a pale green polish for her smoke, so I used <b>Polish My Life Green Bikini</b> for my fog. Then I lightly sponged on the smallest amount of <b>CND Jade Sparkle</b> for a little more dimension. I can't help it, I love gloss and sparkle on my nails.<br />

The brush I used for the acetone step was very square and not very flexible so I didn't end up with the swirls I really wanted. I'm still diggin' it though. So much easier than I thought! I'd love to try some turquoise nails with this technique. I also have to make a shout-out to <b>Baroness X <a href="http://www.baronessx.com/nail-care/swatchers-balm-matte-cuticle-balm">Swatcher's Balm</a></b> for moisturizing my nails perfectly without making them greasy for my pictures!<br />

What do you think, spooky enough? It's reaching, but I'm not really into the spooky part of Halloween--I'm a scaredy cat. Anyway, I love now The Lacquer Ring makes me try out all the nail art I have been admiring. Check out the other spooky manis today. Happy Halloween!<br />

<br />
You may have noticed I am posting less and less on the blog proper. I have been taking some much needed time to get my house in order using the <a href="http://tidyingup.com/">KonMari Method</a>. If you don't know what this is, I highly recommend checking it out. I'm not even halfway finished and I am loving it! I wanted to adopt a family this year for the holiday season, but hubby has taken a new job and an initial pay cut. I was instead able to convince him to really purge our home of all the things we no longer need and donate to our Salvation Army home store. KonMari has helped us reframe letting go of stuff (even when I got a good deal or my mom gave it to me... sorry, Mom) as passing it along to be needed by another who can appreciate it. And to consider if an item "sparks joy" instead of keeping things for silly reasons. Life. Changing. And yes, nail polish is included in this purge, but luckily KonMari tells me I can save the hardest things to go through last.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I have been so consumed with KonMari that I passed right by my second blogiversary without even noticing. Sorry, Blog! But I am two, and even if I have diverged to less frequent and microblogging I am proud of my nails.<br />
<br />
This week I'm posting with The Lacquer Ring and the theme is White. I decided to showcase one of my favorite whites: <b>Rica Whiteout</b>. Whiteout is my holy grail white stamper. It is literally the most perfect white that ever white-ed. For this mani I started with a base of <b>Cirque Coven</b>. Then I used an image from <b>UberChic 1-03</b> stamped with Whiteout. I finished off the mani with some textured gold studs from Daily Charme.<br />

I love all the pattern and texture happening in this look. I had been having some problems using my UberChic plates, but I finally got the hang of it with my trusty Whiteout. I decided to stamp it on an angle because I didn't want to fiddle with getting the image perfectly straight.<br />

<b>Bottom Line:</b> Purchase Rica Whiteout immediately if you don't have it. Perfect stamper and makes an excellent white base polish to boot! Make sure you check out what the other ladies in The Lacquer Ring did for White below.<br />

<br />
I am back with The Lacquer Ring today for one of the most dreaded challenges in nail art: The Watermarble. I admit I was thinking about just doing an accent nail. Possibly decals. Or maybe even just stamping the damn thing. But what am I doing this whole blogging and linking up thing for anyway? The challenge. So I finally decided to bust out my Pipe Dream Polish neons and properly watermarble.<br />
<br />
I started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. This was completely the wrong color to start with, but it's the polish I had already so I went with it. I used room temperature spring water and a glass with a one and half inch mouth. I liquid-latexed the hell out of my fingers and nails, I just use stuff I bought off amazon and decanted into bottles. I loosened the caps on three of the <b>Pipe Dream Polish</b> neons I chose: <b>VIP Pass</b>, <b>All In</b>, and <b>Happy Hour</b>. These polishes completely live up to their hype, by the way, and I'd love to see her do more cremes just for marbling!<br />
<br />
I used the pointiest end of a dotting tool I had and made my flower design. Then I dunked my nails! I practiced on my right hand first and did two at a time. It looked like crap, but it did mostly look like a watermarble. I decided to leave it and start on my left hand. I did two nails at a time on my right hand as well and my thumb alone. Ready?<br />
<br />

This is with no re-do, folks. Ain't nobody got time for that. My skin looks crazy while trying to get the colors more accurate, but it's a watermarble! I am so tickled and proud of myself. I never ever EVER thought I could take on this challenge, but I did, and I did good.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here are some things I plan on doing differently next time:<br />
1. Use a better base--I need to pick the lightest tone in the watermarble and make sure my base is nice and smooth. Mine was too light and had shrinkage from a fast paint job and quick-dry topcoat added too soon.<br />
2. Dunk fingers individually--Doing two at a time saved time, but I think I can only get away with that on my index and middle. My ring and pinky being such different lengths made it tough to dip where I wanted at the same time. I might try doing my thumb and ring at the same time though.<br />
3. Be more careful when applying and removing my latex barrier--I ended up eating into too much of my mani on some of the nails during clean-up.<br />

<i>Press Sample--Zoya only</i><br />
<br />
Agh, has it really been that long since my last blog post? I have been so busy the last few weeks. I am back because I really wanted to participate in this month's Hobby Polish Bloggers' link-up since it is all about one of my favorite things: Autumn. I am also so #basic it's tragic, but I cannot deny my love of all things pumpkin and fall. I give you: <b>fugly fall sweaters</b>.<br />
<br />
I started with a base of <b>Pretty & Polished In The Buff</b>, one of the new Dusty Cremes that I had to get on my nails ASAP <i>and</i> the inspiration behind this whole mani. But anyway. In The Buff is a perfectly dusty butterscotch yellow. I was expecting this to make my skintone look totally distinguiting but look! It's not bad and I actually got compliments. I must also add that it has a fantastic creme formula.<br />

To make my sweaters I chose an image from <b>MoYou Fashionista 14</b> and stamped it with <b>Zoya Geneviev</b>. I have used Geneviev so many times for a perfect gray stamper and I recommend picking it up at their next sale if you don't already have it. I finally used a teeny tiny dotting tool and a black creme to add dots to the floral-type elements of the stamp. Check out the dustiness of In The Buff close-up below, it is mind-blowing.<br />

<i>Press Samples</i><br />
<br />
I have come to the harsh realization I just don't have the time to really blog about nails and stay sane. Some of my supportive bloggy friends suggested I try still sharing manis (because I love sharing manis!) on instagram though and rounding them up in a monthly blog post. So here are my instagram manis from the end of July and August!<br />

I hope you enjoyed this round-up! I have more fun with my polish when I actually get to wear it and don't have to be brilliant with words, too. This will be a monthly feature for a little while. I started blogging almost two years ago and I've had to rethink it a little, but I like the idea of having a permanent place to have my manis. I Have you loved your cuticles today?Shelby Louhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00397182057199231548noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981620571755847086.post-60948280121960918232015-08-24T12:00:00.000-04:002015-08-24T23:28:26.861-04:00HPB Presents: Neon Illusion<i>Purchased By Shelby Lou</i><br />
<br />
Hey guys, I have been having a rough month. Last week I almost ended up in the ER with the worst back pain and muscle spasm of my life. Then Sunday I left work (at a hospital) only to rush to another hospital where my husband was in the ER. We are both fine, just need some appropriate follow-up, but still. Ugh. Anyway, at least these nails make me happy! This month's prompt with the Hobby Polish Bloggers is "neon." I saw a similar look to this one from The Internet and had to do it. Of course now I can't find the original inspiration, d'oh! If you have an idea of who it might have been, leave me a comment.<br />
<br />
I started with a base of OPI Angel With A Lead Foot and stamped an image from MoYou London Illusion 09 with Rica Blackout. My stamping isn't perfect (that dreaded word!) but I really like how it worked out.<br />
<br />

After safely topcoating everything, I added a layer of Lush Lacquer (now Polish Me Silly) Clowning Around. This polish is such a classic translucent neon glitter; yum. This bottle is a couple (maybe even three?!) years old and I've got no bleeding, fading, or curling issues. Now that is a quality glitter, my friends.<br />

<i>Press Sample </i><br />
<br />
Fall polishes are already starting to pop up everywhere, including Zoya's! I love fall, really, but summer barely got started here in Buffalo. So I decided to buck the system and do a completely summery mani with my summer Zoyas.<br />
<br />

<br />
I started with a base of Zoya Chantal, one of my favorite nude polishes for my skintone. It's nice and bright without being too yellow on me. I wore this as a base for a few days and got great wear from it.<br />

<br />
I used <b>Love, Angeline Stuck On Love Nail Vinyls </b>for my fishy scales. I snipped the sides in a couple places and used a liquid latex barrier to protect my cuticles. I sponged a gradient of Zoya cremes from the Island Fun collection in Demetria (a red-orange creme), Jace (green), Cecilia (Teal), and Talia (blue). I only had to do three passes with my make-up sponge for this super-saturated coverage. I know I received these cremes as samples, but seriously, the more I use Zoya for nail art the more I love Zoya's formulas.<br />

Are you ready for fall polish or still clinging to summer like me?

<br />
I'm back on the blog, go me! I have been moving towards more microblogging lately and have been more active my my instagram, facebook, and twitter. Mostly instagram, although I noticed a ton more ads than I would like today in particular. Anyone else aside from me? Today's prompt for The Lacquer Ring is Holographic Blue. I decided to use a fantastical polish which I am ashamed to say was still an untried: Picture Polish Freya's Cats. Freya's Cats is a deep blue jelly with that magical holographic shimmer known only to Picture Polish.<br />

I decided to bust out some water decals I must have bought from Born Pretty Store approximately a million years ago. I actually had quite a good experience for my first time with water decals! I got a small wrinkle and some odd bubbles? holes? in my one decal that I have no explanation for.<br />

I got many compliments on this polish from muggles which I consider proof of how lovely it is. What is your favorite holographic blue polish? Have you loved your cuticles today? Make sure you check out the other holographic blue looks from the other ladies of The Lacquer Ring!<br />

Son of a Beachin' Unicorn<i>Purchased By Shelby Lou</i><br />
<br />
I have not been feeling blogging lately. I went away for a long weekend last weekend and had an emotionally exhausting week at work. If it wasn't for this mani I had coming up I probably wouldn't have done anything else this week either. I have been excited for this mani though and completing it has gotten me excited to dive back into polish again. Today I have a twinsie with Amy from <a href="http://www.fancysidenails.com/">The Fancy Side</a>! I have recently starting collecting the Unicorn series from <a href="http://www.lacquer-lust.com/"><b>Lacquer Lust</b></a> and discovered Amy is also a fan. Naturally we needed to bond over this mutual love. We decided to use this summer's release called <b>Son of a Beachin' Unicorn</b>; a holo base with neon pink, yellow (or yellow-green?), and blue matte glitters. We agreed to do some graphic black details with this polish and you know I love a good visual contrast.<br />

For my mani I started with only two coats of Beachin', I was expecting to need a lot more but two was perfect. I decided to randomly place an image from <b>MoYou London Pro XL 02</b> stamped with <b>Rica Blackout</b>. I went a little 80's but that never hurt anyone!<br />

<br />
Today is another fun and exciting prompt for <b>The Lacquer Ring </b>which is "<b>Under The Sea</b>." I had some ideas planned out..... but then I came home on Wednesday (why yes, I do like to wait until the last minute\) and my <b>OPI Color Paints</b> had arrived! Of course I needed to play with them immediately. I went with the blue and greens and decided to sandwich some stamping for the ultimate deep-sea look. So here is my first go nail arting with these fantastical jelly nail paints!<br />
<br />

For this mani I started with a base of <b>OPI This Gown Needs A Crown</b>. Using little 1/4 chunks of torn make-up sponge held with tweezers, I dabbled on two layers of <b>OPI Indigo Motif</b>, <b>OPI Turquoise Asthetic</b>, and <b>OPI Lanscape Artist</b>. Over that layer I stamped an image from <b>MoYou London Sailor 05</b> (I love this plate!) with <b>Rica Whiteout </b>and my <b>Creative Shop Stamper</b>. I dabbled on a third and fourth layer of the same OPI colors. And then I may or may not have topped everything off with <b>INM Northern Lights</b>.<br />

I love this look so hard. It's got this motion to it like currents in the sea and it's all chaotic and murky but bright--just how I imagine being under the sea would be. I can't even get over how amazing the OPI Color Paints are. I just whipped this up having never used them before. I can see a lot of people at all stages of nail art abilities having fun and being successful with them. So if you have been on the fence (like I was) just give in. I can't wait to play some more with them!<br />

<br />
Today's post is pulling double-duty as my Hobby Polish Bloggers mani and a twinsies mani with one of my friends, Courtney from <a href="http://polishedlifting.blogspot.com/">Polished Lifting</a>! Courtney and I had talked about doing a twin galaxy mani since we have never done one before. It was a serendipitous bonus that this month's HPB theme is Starry Night Sky. I love multitasking and that extends to my nail polish arts-ing.<br />
<br />
I have seen probably thousands of galaxy manis and hundreds of ways to do them, so I didn't follow any one person's tutorial in particular. I just ripped little 1/4 inch chunks off of a make-up sponge, dabbed some polish on it, dabbed the sponge a few times on paper, then dabbed the polish on nail. That is literally it. Why have I never done this before?!<br />

<br />
Courtney finished her mani first and I loved it so much that I tried to make mine like hers (and ended up with something really different, but anyway...). She started with a black creme then dabbled a bright blue and red-pink shimmer. I never would have thought of this combination without her experiment first! So, I started with a base of KBShimmer Eclipse, which went on in two luscious coats by the way. I dabbled on KBShimmer Sky Jinks followed by Emily de Molly Lace Man. Lastly I dry-brushed on a smattering of Darling Diva Hank! because I needed some bling in my world.<br />

<br />
My galaxy became quite linear rather than nebulous as I had envisioned. Once I saw proper photos I totally saw the Milky Way on my nails! I grew up in "the country" and I always loved looking at the stars. I could easily see the shimmery band of the Milky Way all the way across the sky, especially on a cold, clear night. Being in the middle of a city or a stadium full of people doesn't even give me that feeling of vastness that seeing the stars does.<br />
<br />

<br />
Two posts this week, yay! I have low standards for myself haha. Today is a quick little Stamping Saturday mani. I just received Enchanted Polish Daydream and had that on for a couple days by itself. It's pretty and all, but I don't know that it was worth the $16.50 I paid. It is a lovely blue-green holo with blue shimmer, I think I see a hint of purple at some angles.<br />

</div>This color feels very Breakfast at Tiffany's to me so I decided to stamp an art deco image over it. I used MoYou London Time Traveler 05 and Rica Whiteout. I used my Creative Shop stamper and everything but I just had a tough time stamping today. I smooshed my pinky a little and all my lines are different on each finger. It looks good from normal viewing distance though, that's what counts, right!<br />

<br />
Super-fast post today--because I am tired and want to go to bed! Today's Hare Polish was an exclusive offered last summer. Escape to Palm Springs is a bright "periwinkle/cornflower" crelly with hot pink and orange glitters along with pale gold flakes and shimmer. I did three coats with no glitter issues and added some neon pink studs for good measure. I think it looks more indigo or blurple in real life. I tried color-correcting a couple photos so ignore my strangely-hued skintone!<br />

I don't know what in the world is going on lately, but work has been crazy for me all week. I haven't had time for lunch in three days. I've done a lot of good work and it's been very rewarding... it's just SO much. You feel me? I love my job and feel very lucky to be doing something I love, I just want to distribute the volume haha.<br />

My friend is a nail muggle or I think she would have kept this little gem! Make sure you check out the bottles, perfectly mid-sized and adorable. I want about 10 bottles of this so I never run out.<br />

I am so happy to have joined The Lacquer Ring. I feel those creative juices flowing with the prompts! I am so in love with this color combination and I got so many compliments at work--The nurses all know to check out my nails hehe. A few who are getting married this year want me to do their nails, I don't know if I could handle the pressure though! And I've only ever done someone else's nails like twice. Anyone else feel like they can't do someone else's nails?<br />

Earlier this week I shared Hare Polish I'm Your National Anthem. I popped off the studs and stamped it with Vivid Lacquer 015 and a Sinful Colors gold metallic polish. I wish I had done that in the first place, I love how the firework stamp looks over the flakes so much! Check out my Hump Day HARE post from <a href="http://shelbylounails.blogspot.com/2015/07/hump-day-hare-im-your-national-anthem.html">earlier this week</a> to see more of this gorgeous Hare Polish, too.<br />

Since Independence Day is fast approaching--it always seems to sneak up on me!--today's Hump Day Hare Polish is I'm Your National Anthem. IYNA is one of the LE Lana Del Ray polishes (see Pretty When I Cry <a href="http://shelbylounails.blogspot.com/2015/06/hump-day-hare-pretty-when-i-cry.html">here</a>) and most recent release from my beloved indie.<br />

IYNA is a red jelly with gold and blue flakes in metallic and satin finishes. There is a soft holographic shimmer, but I couldn't really see the holo aspect of it most of the time. I used three coats of this jelly, I was debating on a fourth but I didn't really have any VNL so I left it. I added some blue accent studs to bring out the blue flakes since they started to feel look purple to me.<br />

I don't wear much red and I feel like I have a tough time photographing red polish. I wouldn't say this is a patriotic polish or even my favorite Hare, but it is a lovely red flakie jelly! Any Lana Del Ray fans have this on their lemming list?<br />

I decided to pop the studs off and stamp this mani with Vivid Lacquer 015 and Sinful Colors Gold Medal. I love this look more! I also shared this in my July 4th <a href="http://shelbylounails.blogspot.com/2015/07/stamping-saturday-independence-day-nails.html">Stamping Saturday</a> post.<br />

<br />
I'm a late sharing this post for The Lacquer Ring today. I've been super-sick with the flu all week. This is the second time this year, stupid germy hospital. When I went back to work I wore a mask whenever I talked to patient's and families to keep the germs to myself, which is hot and annoying haha. Hubby is sick now though, he went to the doctor yesterday and had a fever of 102 along with bronchitis. Sorry!<br />
<br />
This week's prompt for The Lacquer Ring is One Stroke Flowers. Not gonna lie, I've been dreading the prompt and planned on having at least a few days to practice and try out this new-to-me technique. Without time on my side though, I spent one evening messing around and just went for it. My base polish is Pahlish Imprinted Upon Your Stars, a group custom for Pahlish Lovers. I wore this for a few days by itself and I'm in love. It is such a gorgeous shade of periwinkle with holo and other shimmahs!<br />

<br />
For my flowers I started by watching some tutorials online. The ones I found the most helpful were from <a href="http://www.lucysstash.com/2013/03/one-stroke-flowers-nail-art-feat-nicole.html">Lucy's Stash</a>--her artwork is gorgeous! I used acrylic paint in pink and off-white for my flowers. I didn't have any of the correct kinds of brushes around unfortunately, so I ended up using a clean-up brush one that was too skinny to really give this a proper go. So I did my flowers (please don't try to image that process, ugh). I used the end of the brush to dot the centers of the flowers in pink and topcoated. Then I used a Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art pen in black to outline everything and add a few more dots, then did one final coat of topcoat.<br />

<br />
So, not the best, but not too bad for a first attempt! I'm glad I still made myself do this even though it's late. It's important to keep challenging myself at this nail art thing. Anyone else tried these flowers? Not sure I'm going to do these again. They do make me want to try The Lacquerologist's <a href="http://www.lacquerologist.com/2013/07/splash-flowers-with-butter-london-and.html">color splash floral nails</a> though! I'm much better at bold, graphic designs.<br />

<br />
Finally! Today I have the rest of this year's Zoya collection for Spring:<b> Delight</b>. You can see the other three cremes in this collection from a previous blog post by clicking <a href="http://shelbylounails.blogspot.com/2015/05/zoya-delight-for-spring-2015.html">here</a>. All of these metallics had a similar formula. I did three coats for all of my swatches, a teeny bit thicker than I tend to or I probably would have done four thin coats. They have a tendency to steak, make sure you leave plenty of time between coats and paint evenly.<br />
<br />
First I have <b>Daisy</b>, described by Zoya as a "refreshing lemon meringue yellow metallic with an energizing turquoise metallic flash." This color is... yellow. Even the adorable teeny blue rhinestone bows cannot make this color look good on me (to see it on someone I think it does look good on, click <a href="http://www.glitterglossgarbage.com/spring-2015-zoya-delight-swatches-and-review/">here</a>). The turquoise flash got lost for me unless I caught my nails at the right angle. It does look really shimmery but almost in a frosty way.<br />

<b>Rayne </b>is described as a "spring blue metallic with an energizing turquoise metallic flash." Of course this blue is my favorite of the bunch! It really is metallic and the shimmer looks amazing. Look at that shine in the picture with flash!<br />

Lastly is <b>Leslie</b> (hehe, I like how that rhymes), described as a "soft spring lavender metallic with an energizing turquoise metallic flash." The shimmer is more noticeable in Leslie but I think it does just look like a shimmer rather than a metallic polish. Still pretty!<br />

</div>Mermaid Madness is described as "a turquoise shimmer and glitter nail polish." The shimmery base has gold, teal, navy, and gold metallic and holographic glitters along with metallic turquoise dots. With all the stuff going on in this polish I totally expected goop. But no! Buttery formula, great glitter spread. I did three easy coats for full coverage. It's not even that the formula was good, it was noticeably awesome.<br />

Of course I had to stamp this puppy with some mermaid-y scales. I used an image from MoYou London Sailor 05 stamped with Rica Blackout. I'm not totally happy with my image placement. I think it makes my nails look stumpy and weird curved downwards at the end. Ah well, I'll try a different placement next time. Sailor 05 is easily one of my favorite and most-used plates.<br />

I wish I could have done Mermaid Madness more justice! Alas, my photography skills are limited. Has anyone else tried Baroness X? I have some of her new neon thermal flakie jellies to show at some point, too!<br />

<br />
Today's post is pulling double duty as both my link-up with the <b>Hobby Polish Bloggers</b> and my <b>Hump Day HARE</b> post! I feel like all I'm doing are <a href="http://shelbylounails.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-lacquer-ring-turquoise-shimmer.html">beachy nails</a> lately. Seriously, I have another post coming up which will prove it later this week. On to today's the nails!<br />
<br />
Today's mani was to be beach-themed for the Hobby Polish Bloggers. I can't get enough <a href="http://shelbylounails.blogspot.com/2015/05/saturday-stamping-hidden-city-lagoon.html">teal and gold</a> lately either, so I went with <b>Hare Polish Cabin Fever Fenzy</b>, a teal jeally filled with all kinds of metallic flakies and shimmer. I stamped it with <b>MoYou London Sailor 05</b> and <b>Essie Good As Gold</b>. I love the Essie Mirror Metallics for stamping, I highly recommend grabbing them if you love to stamp.<br />

Gah, Cabin Fever Frenzy is so squishy! I used three coats and resisted adding a fourth since I was stamping it anyway. Make sure you check out the other manis from the Hobby Polish Bloggers for our monthly link-up party!<br />

We met through mutual indie nail loves, and we've been enabling each other ever since. Samantha "microblogs" on instagram (<a href="https://instagram.com/swatchbucket">@swatchbucket</a>) and I highly recommend following her lovely nails. You can always count on amazing swatches of jellies, crellies, and holos from this girl. And how does she keep them so durn long?! She must be a witch. Let's see what she has for us today!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">Hello, reader! I am Samantha of @swatchbucket on Instagram, and I am your guest blogger for Shelby today! She and I have been polish buddies for a good while now, and she's been a witness to my microblogging development over the past year. Shelby is such a lovely and encouraging person, and holy crap is she a (fabulously) ruthless enabler! She and I share a lot of polish loves. As a result of this, she has made me more HARE Polish crazed, and she is also to be blamed for my latest polish brand obsession, Renaissance Cosmetics. In exchange, I have tried to get her hooked on WingDust polishes. All three of these brands make absolutely stunning </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 12pt;">crelly glitter polishes, and since I know that she and I love a good crelly, I have decided to use such along with an accent nail. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">I started this mani off with two coats of Serumn No5 Ho No! and smoothed it out with two coats of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. This grey crelly is absolutely packed with metallic blue, red, yellow, and matte white microglitters and small circle glitters. The formula is lovely and almost completely opaque in one coat. The base also has blue shimmer that can look pink in some lights. The shimmer is much more prevalent in the bottle and on the nail without top coat. If you like textured polishes, I highly recommend not putting a top coat on this polish, because the blue/pink shimmer looks absolutely stunning as a frosty matte finish. With top coat, the shimmer provides a more subtle yet sparkly effect. You don't want Ho No! for the shimmer and glitter mix alone, though. You NEED it because it looks good with the light on AND off! Ho No! is one of Serum No5's many famous glow in the dark polishes. This one glows blue (forgive the poo glow in the dark shot further down). </span><br />

After I did two coats of Ho No!, I topped it with KBShimmer Clearly on Top top coat and let it dry for about 30 minutes just to make sure it would hold up against nail vinyls. I also applied a layer of Ellagee's Lickity Split liquid latex around my nail to make clean up easier. Once the latex was dry, I applied an Up Your Nail Moroccan vinyl guide, snipped it to make it hug and adhere to my nail better (I have really curved nails), and applied a layer of Enchanted Polish December 2014 (blue holo full of blue glass fleck) on the bottom half of the nail and February 2015 (tomato red holo) on the upper half. I then sponged on another layer of the polishes and blended them by using a cosmetic sponge. Once I was satisfied with how it looked, I immediately pulled the vinyl guide off with tweezers and pulled off the liquid latex before topping it off with another layer of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. </span><br />

I'm so used to microblogging, so this was definitely a different experience for me. Thank you guys for having me! All shots were taken in natural lighting with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I *love* how this mani turned out, and the customers I dealt with at work really loved it too.<br />

<br />
I have two exciting things to share in this post. Firstly, today is my <b>fourth wedding anniversary</b>, yay! I love being married, and hubby and I are very content with our furbabies and home projects. Four seems like so little to me since we have really been together for 9 years. Well, we dated when we were 18, broke up at 19, and got back together at 20... yeah so 9 years. We are really lucky to have continued to grow together in the same direction. We are still working towards that house in the country. My parents have the land all ready for us and everything haha!<br />
<br />
Secondly, this is my first post as part of <b>The Lacquer Ring</b>. The Lacquer Ring is a group of nail bloggers who do themed posts twice per month. I am honored to be joining all of these girls!<br />
<br />
Today's prompt is based around a color: Turquoise Shimmer. Luckily I just got my order of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OctopusPartyNL">Octopus Party Nail Lacquer</a> I snagged in the last restock and instantly knew I must use <b>Piece of Caicos</b>. Piece of Caicos is a turquoise holographic polish with a smattering of subtle blue-green flakies. I actually remembered to take a picture of the base alone this time, too.<br />

And since I can't leave anything alone now... I decided to try adding sea foam on top. I had seen nails like this somewhere on The Internet and have read how to do them several times, but of course I can't find a tutorial that even looks close to what I did.<br />

I started by doing the first few steps of a watermarble: Drop 3-4 drops of China Glaze White Out into the cup of water, let them spread, and then spray the polish with perfume 2-3 times. I used a stamper and dunked that in the cup instead of my finger and then transferred the image onto my nails like a stamp. I am very comfortable with stamping so this was easier than dunking my finger... with which I have yet to be successful.<br />

I added the starfish using Zoya Wendy and MoYou London Doodles 07. I wish I had stamped a bunch of things from that plate on my nails before adding the seafoam, but that's for next time!<br />

<i>Press Sample (Zoya)</i><br />
<br />
I thought I'd share this mani mash-up I wore last Saturday for a nail get-together with my nail friends Joy (<a href="https://instagram.com/joyrserio">IG@joyrserio</a>) and Meghan (<a href="http://www.willpaintnailsforfood.com/">Will Paint Nails For Food</a> & <a href="http://www.renaissancecosmetics.com/">Renaissance Cosmetics</a>). We hung around the trendy Elmwood Village in Buffalo and had some great nail polish chat, noms, and shopping times. And it was perfectly gorgeous and sunny all day! Meghan also shared some of her new microglitter collection with us, you can check out a <a href="https://instagram.com/p/3Wqn6MjjAo/?taken-by=shelbylounails">swatch</a> and a <a href="https://instagram.com/p/3aDf3GjjHs/?taken-by=shelbylounails">macro</a> of Selene on my instagram. The collection releases this <a href="http://www.renaissancecosmetics.com/2015/06/03/june-newsletter/">Sunday at 12pm EST</a>!<br />
<br />
The mani I wore was simple but fun... and it was what I happened to be wearing from earlier in the week haha. On my thumb, index, and middle fingers I wore <b>Scofflaw Nail Varnish Velocipedestrienne--</b>that was still hard to type even with 6 years of French in grade school. On my ring and pinky I wore <b>Zoya <a href="http://shelbylounails.blogspot.com/2014/05/zoya-magical-pixies-for-summer-2014.html">Arlo</a></b>.<br />

I know I have been very public about my love-hate relationship with textured polish. I actually found I was able to wear Arlo with one coat of topcoat, which took away the worst of the sand-papery texture I dislike. I think wearing it on only two fingers also helped. I only freaked out a couple times over four days when filing some papers at work haha. I got great wear from both of these polishes. I credit <a href="http://www.shopprettyandpolished.com/">Pretty & Polished</a>'s base and topcoat, they work wonders for me.<br />

<br />
I am feeling so lazy about blogging lately! I have a vacation starting this Friday, hopefully I'll get some things done to share then. I've still got three spring Zoyas and twelve summer ones staring me down....<br />
<br />
Today's Hump Day HARE is one of the newest ones called <a href="http://www.harepolish.com/2015/05/new-limited-edition-shades-lana-del-rey.html">Pretty When I Cry</a>, inspired by Lana Del Rey. This is part of a limited edition release and while they are sold out in the Etsy shop, I do believe some stockists will be receiving some.<br />

Pretty When I Cry is described as "a sandy beige jelly with metallic silver flakes (that come off sort of golden) and iridescent blue mini flakes and shimmer." The shimmer is a bit hidden in most lights (and my swatches) but it is easy to catch the blue flash in the sun!<br />

Loving this gorgeous nude, might be one of my go-tos. I used four thin coats for full opacity, it does not feel thick on my nails at all. If you don't mind VNL two or three would be just fine. The flakes are magical and spread perfectly.<br />
