Heather’s Hues Meraki nail polish swatch

Hello again! I have more photos of Heather’s Hues Meraki to show you; do you remember seeing it the other day?

This is 3 coats plus top coat. Formula was nice, though I was surprised that it took 3 coats. I thought it was going to be more opaque than it was. But I could not stop staring at my nails when I had it on!

Hey strangers…here’s where I’ve been

Hey everyone! I know it has been over a year since my last post. So much has happened!

-I lost my will/the heart to blog on a regular basis. It seemed like stats were tanking, and I hated that I was placing so much importance on what my stats were; losing my joy in showing off polishes and makeup looks in the process.

-Last year I was pregnant with child 5, and when you’re pregnant and you…

Hey everyone, it’s been a very stressful week. My external hard drive literally crashed – or rather, was crashed by one of my toddlers; I bought a new one but I don’t know how/can’t figure out to transfer information from the crashed one to the new one; next week is the last week of school; and a family member is…

DRK Nails Gruum Gruum magnetic nail polish swatches + review #magnetic #nails #nailpolish

Polishes used: 1 coat of base coat 3 thin coats of DRK Nails Gruum Gruum [August 2018 HHC] 1 coat of QDTC

This is an insane magnetic polish. I know it doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles (flakies, holo, etc) but the magnetic properties of this are just out of this world. I did have to shake it quite a bit to get the magnetic bits all mixed up, but once I did…ooohhhhweeeeee!
