Disney Villains v. 1

"We lose more women to marriage than war, famine, and disease." 

-Cruella DeVille (101 Dalmations, 1996)

So this weekend, I actually went through and counted and inventoried all of my untrieds. I have over 180. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY untrieds... polishes that have never touched my nails. My goal is to make as big of a dent in these as possible before buying any new polishes... but to my defense, there will be some polishes that I just can't live without, lol. But I've gotten SOOOO good about resisting! Today I am going to start my Disney Villains series! Back in March I received 8 Disney Villains polishes from Nicole Tan. I absolutely love them all.. and considering how big of a Disney buff I am.. I had to have them as soon as she offered up to get them. They've been sitting in my untrieds bin since the day I got them!

PS I got my iPhone lens fixed today.. for 31 bucks! I AM SO HAPPY.. I can finally feel good about taking pics for my blog again, ha ha ha.. look at these pictures then look back at some of my posts.. you'll see how obvious the haze was.. it was getting supremely annoying.

I'm starting with magentaish/pink Cruella DeVille! Its also labelled number 38 if that will help anyone!

The evolution of this mani will follow below.... :)

This polish is actually a VERY sheer jelly. This is 2 thicker coats. I knew it wouldn't be worth it really to do a 3rd.. so what does one do when a polish is sheer like this?

You add GLITTER! This is one coat of Coverband's Sticks & Stones.. what an amazing glitter! 

So lovely.. but as much as I loved this... I wanted to take it up a notch...

So I made a glitter sammich... this is not like the traditional glitter sammich's I see.. but I love how this turned out. All I did was one final coat of Cruella over the Sticks and Stones.. It gives the white glitter an awesome pink tint.. even though its kind of hard to tell.. Click on the picture to enlarge and see it :)

I'm actually rather in love with this mani. 

Just a creative shot! 

What do you guys think?! Do you have any of the Villains polishes?

Nail mail v.4

I have for you tonight, another new nail mail post... Thankful Thursday will return next week on my personal blog, The Discovery of Desirée Michelle. I have maybe 2 more major packages coming to me, then my nail mail will be over for awhile. I'm wanting to save for a new car, and I know every little bit will help, plus, I would like to focus on getting new polishes for my birthday ladies, and gentleman, rather than myself. I have one package coming from Dollish Polish.. and my first ever order from Harlow & Co containing my very first Model's Own polishes! So excited to get both.. PS. the lens on my iphone is driving me nuts. I think I may be able to get it fixed @the apple store.

The first set of nail mail I actually received last week... But I had forgotten to put it on my last post. I've been waiting for these preciouses since the 27th of January. Nicole was gracious enough to find them for me and send them all the way from Singapore! My very first international polish nail mail! As you can see, these are just some of the Disney Villains polishes. GAH the haze is driving me CRAZY! I'm sorry ya'll :( Some of these are jelly polishes -- which I'm excited to try, because I did my first jelly sandwich not too long ago, and I want to try again!

My second piece of nail mail was my replacement bottle of Hip Hop Hippity Hop from Dollish Polish! I like this version much better, and can't wait to try it! Besides, I love how she packaged it.. :)

I loooveee the blue organza bag! It does NOT take much to please me, lol.

My last bit of nail mail is from Pretty&Polished and her ETSY shop! Can you tell i'm REALLY into indie polishes lately? I dont even really look at mainstream brands anymore! 

I got a mini of Jawbreaker (which, I really wanted a full size one, but it got stolen outta my cart, lol) and a full size of Valentino.. I am IN LOVE with how Valentino looks in the bottle... can't wait to try it on my nails! 

Last but not least, I have a mini haul for you... I went to pickup a polish for one of my birthday buddies, and Walgreens had the new sinful colors display.. omg. I died. I had to get them. (notice the pretty picture of my sissy in the background!? :]) The one that I didn't pick up was Cinderella, only because I already have it! So excited to try these soon... a long with my other 100+ untried polishes, lol.

The polishes are: Flutter, Firefly, Sweet Dreams, Luminary, Glass Pink, Morning Star

Do you have any of these? Iris, I know you do!! :)
