Rule number 3, wear your heart on your cheek. But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat.

 Uber long blog post title is long! Hello Bloggerettes! I've been throughly enjoying some Marina and the Diamonds, especially How to be a Heartbreaker. Fun mani plus equally fun song equals a FUN post! I obviously need some sleep, lol. Today's post features my favorite indie polish brand, Hare. Asteroid Turf is a murky almost neon green jelly filled with medium magenta hex glitter.



Asteroid Turf was an easy as pie glitter filled jelly to apply. Hey, that rhymed! Can you see all the hidden hexes? Beautiful! Hare polish is available on Etsy for $10 and at Llarowe for $11. I believe Asteroid Turf may have been discontinued, but they just came out with some new beautiful polishes. What do you think of this polish?

Thanks for looking!

Roxy Flash



Hello Bloggerettes! I am still unbelievably sick but I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Thank goodness! Ugh, so zero motivation is happening in these parts however tons of cartoons and spicy food are happening. Anywho today's post features an awesome gradient of Zoya Roxy(my favorite polish EVAR!), a raspberry jelly filled with magenta glitter, and L'oreal Amazon's Flash, a metallic gold. For the life of me I cannot do the sponge gradient method, so I do the 'paint down' method.

 Roxy, 2 coats.




The paint down method is when you start painting your gradient at your tips then bring the color down. I really like this effect better than sponging, etc. I began with 1 coat of CND Stickey, 2 coats Roxy, 1 thick coat of Gelous, gradient of Amazon's Flash, and 1 thick coat of Seche Vite. Gelous is essential as Roxy is a very hungry glitter. Trust me, she is worth the effort! Amazon's Flash was part of a limited edition L'oreal set from last year so you may not find it in stores. But she is a nice deep warm gold, almost mustard like. Which gradient method do you prefer?

Thanks for looking!
