Experimental Rocket by Varnish Vixen

One thing I love about Etsy is the fact that I can find great indie nail polishes that become one of my favorites which is exactly what happened with Experimental Rocket by Varnish Vixen. However the sad news is that I can no longer find Varnish Vixen's Etsy page where she used to sell Experimental Rocket along with other nail polishes as well. This is extremely sad because I absolutely love Experimental Rocket and I think it is a great base coat for when you are doing galaxy nails because of the black holographic aspect of the polish.

Pictures just don't seem to do this nail polish justice! And let me tell you, it always looks a lot cooler in the sunlight!

Water Marble: Zoya "Song" & Pure Ice "Silver Mercedes"

My first statement with this post must be "For once water marbling worked for me!" There has been a long, long period of water marbling absolutely hating me and never wanting to work on more than 1 nail. So this time I was glad it worked! It might just be the temperature of the room that I was in but I've been using a room temperature bottle of water and a Dixie bathroom cup. I had three nail polishes picked out but one didn't seem to want to cooperate so I decided to just go with "Song" by Zoya and "Silver Mercedes" by Pure Ice. I don't feel like this is one of my best water marble designs that I've done so far in my nail polish life but I do hope to learn more designs and get better!

Leaden Lilac and Cobalt Chrome

So I decided that after my first run with Sally Hansen's Color Foil nail polish I decided to take the plunge and purchase some more colors. This time I went with Leaden Lilac and Cobalt Chrome which of course are purple and blue. Who would have thunk huh? Although I still dislike how all of my nail imperfections are shown when wearing the Color Foil nail polishes, I can't help but love them.

Cobalt Chrome

Overall I still enjoy the Color Foil polishes and maybe in the meantime I'll start to get rid of those kinks on my nails!

Yes, I am still alive

It's really crazy how fast time flies, how much stuff is going on, and how little I'm able to use the 24-hours per day I get to be productive. But yes, I just want you to all know that I am still kicking over here and between work, school, homework, friends, having no energy, and being lazy way too often, it's unclear how I am still currently sane ;). I am hoping to get all my crazy tasks under control so that I am able to create more posts for you guys. Since it is (or was) back to school season, I'd like to know some of the crazy stories you have about getting back into the swing of things for this fall semester! And GO!
