Darling Diva Polish's "Hope"

You guys I'm so proud of these pictures. Not a single outtake. Woo! I'm getting better. I've been using Heeltastic (weird, I know) on my cuticles and I think it's helping a bit. :) Plus it smells awesomely herbal and gingery.
So this polish, it's by Darling Diva Polish. It's called Hope. I thought it was pretty and nice, etc, and then I realized that I can't find anything about Hope online anywhere. So now I feel super special to have this polish for you guys today! Application was super easy, the glitter blend is very unique and well-balanced, and dry time was impressively fast. Here it is, ladies. What do you think? I have it over Wet n Wild's Tickled Pink, which is one of my favorite polishes and only 99c. :)

 2 coats, 2 coats, 1 coat.

Elevation Polish "Avalanche"

So the first swatches of Indie Intro Week and also my blogging career are of Elevation Polish's "Avalanche" Described on their website as "10 different types of holographic glitter. Big and small blended together. large diamond, large hex, medium hex, small hex, holographic microglitters." So pretty much, super holographia! I love all things holographic and if it just so happens to be glitter in nail polish, then so be it. Here is a bottle shop from their site.

Gorgeous, right? Right. Here are my swatches, they are over Zoya Wednesday of the Beach Collection. Accent nail base color is Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac. These are 2 coats of Avalanche. Don't mind my ugly cuticles and chipped color. This was just me messing around! :) Also, I wasn't able to fully capture the holographicness of this polish but let me assure you, it is blinding.

Ooo, artsy.

Daisy patches have popped up in the lawn, I love them!

And finally, we have a macro of my thumb nail,

So holographic!

This concludes my first swatching. Thanks for reading!

New Kid on the Block

Hey all! I'm Madison, I'm new to the blogging world. I do have a tumblr, and I tried to start a general blog once when I was 15, but this is my first true blog. I've been getting into nail polish, reading polish blogs, and being generally nail-cray-cray really heavily since some time in December 2011. I went from about 20 polishes to now about 200. I've been thinking about starting a blog for a while now, and so here I am. I don't have many cool indies, fancy brands like butter LONDON or Deborah Lippmann, and I don't have the financial means to even consider obtaining them. I'm not super talented or super professional, but I'm passionate about nails. I will also be starting up a Facebook page so we can thoroughly socialize! Post mani's and pedi's and anything fun and nail related there. I'm all about nail polish scandals and gossip, so if you've got anything juicy to tell me, please do. Ready everyone? OK, GO!

:)
