Sayuri Nail Lacquer #134 Swatches & Review
Hello readers,
Today I have a new to me brand to share with you. I'd heard of Sayuri Nail Lacquer once on Nail Newscast but other than that they don't seem to get mentioned once. When I saw this polish in someone's destash I decided to give them a try.

Born Pretty Store BP27 Stamping Plate Review & Discount Code
Hello readers,
Today I have another stamping plate from Born Pretty Store to show you.
The BP27 plate features two full nail designs along with six smaller stamps. I tried out the leafy full nail design for this manicure. I used it along with my rectangular squishy stamper so I could do my best at aligning the design vertically along my nails.

Layering With China Glaze Red-Y To Rave & Finger Paints Abstract Attraction
Hello readers,
Today I have a fun polish combo to show you. I started out with three coats of China Glaze Red-Y To Rave, a neon red creme. (It really is that bright in person)! Then I added two coats of Finger Paints Abstract Attraction, a mix of purple and blue irridescent flakes, over top. Finally I sealed everything with a coat of Seche Vite. Photos show the above mani in daylight spectrum lighting.

Orly On The Edge Swatches & Review
Hello readers,
Today I have a polish from the Orly Adrenaline Rush collection to show you. I'm always drawn to a good blurple creme even though my camera hates them.
On The Edge is a dark blurple creme. The formula was great and I used two coats to reach opacity. The finished look is quite squishy for a creme, which I love! Despite trying every lighting combo I could think of my camera did not want to capture the true colour of this polish. The photos below are very close but it does lean slightly more purple in real life. Photos show two coats of On The Edge with one coat of Nubar Diamont top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Femme Fatale Under The Waters Swatches & Review
Hello readers,
Today I have a polish from Femme Fatale's Cthulu collection to show you. When this first came out I convinced myself that I didn't need it, but when I found out it was being discontinued that opinion quickly flipped and it made its way into my collection.
Under The Waters features a shimmery blue base with a very strong turquoise flash. Though it does have a somewhat frosty finish I didn't have any issues with obvious brush strokes though due to the finish of this polish I would recommend a smoothing base coat if your nail beds are uneven.. I used three thins coats to reach opacity. I did experience a little bit of bubbling but my top coat is getting low and a bit goopy so I'm pretty sure it was the culprit, not the polish. Photos show three coats of Under The Waters with one coat of CND Supery Shiney top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Finally I sealed everything up with a coat of CND Super Shiney top coat. Here's the finished look in daylight spectrum lighting.

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Monster's Tea At Tiffany's Swatches & Review
Hello readers,
Today I have a Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer that I recently bought from a destash. My purchase seems like perfect timing because this shade has also just been re-released as part of the BEGL Fan Favorites Collection.
