Indie Feature: NerdLacquer

NerdLacquer Pinin' For The Fjords

Pinin' For The Fjords is a gorgeous handmade glitter polish made by NerdLacquer.

 The application on this built up really easy! I used three coats because I wanted it to be really opaque, but you really only need two.

What I thought was really cool about this polish was that at two coats, the base looked lavender, but at three coats, WOAH!!! Hello transformer! It changed into a deep periwinkle base that was just beautiful!!

The glitter combination is also just to die for! Silver, blues, purples, oh my!

NerdLacquer is currently on etsy but is on vacation right now. I know she was in-between moving so I am not sure when they will be back up for sale in the shop.

You can keep checking back daily to see if you can sign up to be notified when NerdLacquer is back in business!!!

Franken Feature: Liquid Glitz

Tara over at Tough As Nails, Twice As Pretty creates some pretty awesome frankens! Her brand is called Liquid Glitz. I had been eyeing one of her collections for quite a while and finally asked her if they were available for purchase! She is super nice and kind and ended up offering them for me to review!

Collection: The Glitters

This collection is pure GLITTER! If you can't tell by now, glitter is my favorite, next to holographic of course.

The Glitters collection consists of 6 gorgeous glitters.

Raspberry Rap, Nebulus Rock, Blueberry Pop, Apple Jazz, Slate Fusion, and Mermaid's Hymn.

Raspberry Rap is a gorgeous pink based glitter with a hint of blue. Nebulus Rock is a black based mini glitter polish with larger holographic glitters as well as a hint of magenta glitter. Blueberry Pop is an electrifying blue and black glitter.

Apple Jazz is a great apple green glitter with a slight green base to it. Slate Fusion is a silver glitter with larger holographic glitter. Mermaid's Hymn is a combination of blue, turquoise, purple, pink, green, and holographic glitter.

 I decided to do a skittle mani with the glitters. I am going to do a full mani with Mermaid's Hymn soon.

 First is one coat of the glitters. One thing I have always loved about glitters is that they tend to dry fast.

 Next is two coats of the glitters.

2 coats shade

2 coats indoor light

 Lastly, to reach semi-full opacity is three coats of the glitters.

3 coats sunlight

What I really loved about this collection is the fact that you can either use it as a top coat, layer it with other colors, or use it for full on glitter mani's! The formula was really great on these and the glitter dispersed wonderfully.


Tara will be opening up her very own etsy shop soon, but for now if you are interested in these you can email her at:

Nfu Oh Tape Mani

Remember the post I showed you on Nfu Oh 64 and how gorgeous it is? Well I just made it BETTER!!! I loved doing my other holo tape mani so much that I just had to try it with Nfu Oh's.


For this mani I used Nfu Oh 64 as my base, then on my accent nails nails I taped it off and used Nfu Oh 61, then Nfu Oh 65. It is just pure holo greatness!!

China Glaze OMG

Good Morning!! Today I will finally be moved into a new home! YAY!! I really hate the process of packing and moving and unpacking. I just wish all my things could pack themselves, grow little legs, and walk over to the new house, and unpack themselves. That would make it so much easier!


So to brighten up my mood a little bit I am showing you a GORGEOUS, which is an understatement, nail polish!! It's a holographic silver nail polish called OMG and it's from the China Glaze OMG Collection.


I was lucky enough to have found one because it is really hard to come by these days. Your best bet is to look in salons. Okay enough talking and let me just show you the good stuff!!
