Happy St. Patrick's Day Nail Art

Well moving day is here! And I am sitting here in my new empty house with the ATT guy hooking up the cable (he got the internet running lickity split) and since I never shared the St. Patrick's Day nails I did last week before I was in moving chaos, I thought I would share them now!



To create this look I started with a layer of KBShimmer Eyes White Open then brought out four different shades of green holo – Zoya Merida, Dreamland Lacquer Kiss Me I'm a Fish, Dreamland Lacquer He's an Angry Elf and Smitten Polish (now Dreamland) Girl Sprouts.



I did a skittle look with three different nail art techniques.



For the middle finger I did a dotticure featuring all of the beautiful green holos, I love all the different finishes of the polishes, I think they went really well together.



For the index and ring finger I did a smoosh manicure, which I just loved how it turned out and I hope to do be doing quite a few of these in the future. Once again the textures really came out to play on these nails. I also stamped a plaid image on top to complete the look and tie it in with the next nail look.



For the thumb and pinky I took out a plaid stamping image from my MoYou Pro 01 plate and did a gradient holo stamping job. This was a more subtle look but I thought really spoke to the Irish part of the look, since there weren't any shamrocks or anything overtly St. Patrick's Day.



Overall I really liked this look. Green is my absolute favorite color so getting to throw together a medley of different shades really makes me a happy camper.

Anyway, hopefully things will be settled here in the new house in no time. I was able to successfully transfer all my polish with no casualties thankfully enough! I'm in my second trimester now and energy is coming back so I'm looking forward to being in full nesting mode with this new house!

Hopefully the move, and lack of full time work, will get me going on the blog more often again too, thanks for sticking with me while I've been going through this transition this year guys! March is actually my third blogiversary, sorry I didn't do anything momentous to mark the occasion!

Dreamland Lacquer Holiday Collection

Greetings everyone! I'm sure half of you have already hit the road for your Thanksgiving breaks but I'm here to share a new collection with you and details for a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale!!!

*Press Samples*

Today I am so excited to share with you Dreamland Lacquer's Holiday Collection – 6 polishes inspired by the movie Elf. I love Elf and make sure to watch it every year so excited to share with you this fun collection. Each of the polishes in this collection are $10 each, 6 piece set will be $54.

This collection will be released for preorder starting Nov. 25 at 12:01 a.m. CST at the Dreamland Lacquer site. There will also be a rerelase of some older shades from last year's Christmas in Stars Hollow collection – more details on that and a sale at the end of this post. 

This is Dreamland Lacquer He's an Angry Elf. This is a beautiful bright green linear holo polish perfect for this holiday season. The formula on this was great, opaque in two easy coats. 

This is Dreamland Lacquer Santa! I Know Him!. This is a beautiful deep red jelly filled with holo flakies. I just love this finish and I know a lot of others do as well, I expect this to be a popular shade. It goes perfectly with the previous green holo and would be a fun red/green set! This was opaque in two easy coats.

This is Dreamland Lacquer Smiling's My Favorite. This is a rose gold base filled with tiny holo, copper and pink glitter plus holo pigment. This polish has beauty and depth and is the perfect neutral work appropriate shade with added bling for the holidays. This was also opaque in two easy coats, since it's a microglitter, you'll definitely want a top coat for optimal shine. 

This is Dreamland Lacquer The 7 Levels of the Candy Cane Forest, a perfect sister to I Ate the Fuzzy Certs (which will also be available on Friday, more details at the end of the post). This is a white crelly with several sizes of red glitter, plus holo microglitter and white microflakes. Make sure you let each layer dry when applying this one so you don't drag the glitter. This was opaque in two coats, but I would recommend possibly a second layer of top coat to smooth this one out. 

This is Dreamland Lacquer Throne of Lies. This is a dark grape jelly (almost midnight indigo to my eyes) with holo microglitter and slightly larger copper glitter. This was a surprise favorite of mine, reminds me a dark winter sky with the stars shining bright on a night with no moon. This was opaque in two easy coats. 

This is Dreamland Lacquer Son of a Nutcracker. This is a brown crelly base with irridescent shifting flakies and unicorn pee pigment (similar to Monkey Monkey Underpants). This will definitely be a favorite, who doesn't love unicorn pee pigment? Also this is totally unique in my collection, I have nothing like this. This was opaque in two easy coats. 

Also re-releasing for preorder on Friday is four shades from the Christmas in Stars Hollow Collection. 

From left clockwise, we have Monkey Monkey Underpants, I Smell Snow, Buy Me a Boa and Drive Me to Reno and I Ate the Fuzzy Certs – aren't these names the best?!

Now for the details of the sale. This is a four day event starting at 12:01 a.m. CST Friday Nov. 25 through 12:01 a.m. Tuesday Nov. 29. Discount is 25% off the whole store EXCEPT the new Holiday 2016 collection (does include the Gilmore Girls re-release).
