OPI: The Neon Collection (partial), Summer 2019

Yeah yeah it's the weekend!  I'm attending my little brothers wedding shower today - it's a couples/family event so lots of people and kids will be there to enjoy the BBQ and festivities.  I can't believe my baby bro is getting hitched!  It's a great day for a BBQ too, it's been super hot here this last week.  I'd say it calls for some neon nails!  I did a little post of a few of the OPI Neon Collection I picked up a while ago.  These are still in stores so if you love them to go pick them up!  They run about $10 a bottle.  Apparently they released a shoe collaboration with Converse and the shoes re adores!  I'm going to see if I can still get them.  While I do some online shopping you should check out my swatches!

Evening y'all!  The hubster is working on making some ribs in his new smoker, and I was looking for an activity to do with the kids but sadly the Winchester Mystery House Candlelight Tours are sold out, booooo.  So maybe we can go to a movie together?  I dunno, he said the ribs are going to take a long time.  So while I figure out out night I thought it would be nice to share another fab Fall collection that is currently available.  Alter Ego created the Harvest Colors collection, perfect shades for the season!  They are $9.50 for each 17ml bottle, or you can get the set of 7 for $51.  Also, don't forget that you can save 25% using my code My Nail Polish Obsession.  Alright, let's check out the polish!

ellagee: TIS San Antonio Exclusives, The Moody Collection

Evening!  It was so nice to have the afternoon off from shutting the kids around.  My daughter ended up at a birthday party at the local park so the boys and I rode our bikes over to join them and have fun watching all the games.  I haven't been to a party with old fashioned games in a long time!  There were sack races, limbo, wheelbarrow races and 3-legged races.  The kids had so much fun, I'll have to remember those games in the future.  Well I just ate and am heading out to make a pumpkin shirt for a race I'm in this Sunday, so this will be a quickie post.  Tomorrow is The Indie Shop San Antonio.  So many of you lucky nail polish lovers are going to have a fun time.  ellagee will be there with lots of goodies to show off.  One such collection is the brand new Moody Collection, a trio-color thermal set.  Now I will put the disclaimer from Laura here for you to read: Thermal pigments are fascinating and so much fun to play with. At the same time they are very sensitive to extreme temperatures. Because of the hot weather in Texas (and then to me in California) my press samples were damaged during shipping. I didn't want them to arrive to customers as anything less than intended so I've decided to make them exclusive to the San Antonio Indie Shop, where they'll be available with their full thermal effect as shown in the swatch stick photos.  I did indeed receive polishes that are affected by the heat so only a few showed transition and I only saw 2 colors at best.  With that said, this collection will be exclusive to TIS San Antonio and leftovers will make their way to the website for online shopping.  The Moody Collection will be $12 for individuals and $50 for the set.  Let's check out the polish!

Morning y'all.  Today I am tired.  Legit exhausted.  I think I went to bed too late but it couldn't be avoided.  I'm paying the price for it now.  Thankfully I can be a lump on a log until it's time to pick up the kids from school.  So while I sit here on the couch watching movie after movie or take a nap I wanted to get a lovely polish in front of you!  Laura initially created this polish for the Polish Pickup, but recently had to pull out of the May theme.  Fortunately for us, this beauty inspired by Friends called Regina Phalange, will be available in the ellagee shop in the future.  The date is TBA so keep your eyes peeled on the ellagee fan page for details.  Regina Phalange will be $11.  Let's jump in and check it out.

Morning lovelies!  I'm really in the groove with Halloween posts.  I think it's because I'm having fun typing these up (or swatching them) while watching scary movies.  Today was a "rest" day so I've done nothing both both of those things until I need to head over to the school for my library volunteer shift.  So today I have the super cutesy Morgan Taylor Trick 'r Treats collection.  I really like these mini kits because they are paired well and are great for the holiday.  This 4-piece mini pack is available now for $15.  Ok, let's jump in and see what they look like.

Indie Spotlight: Paint Box Polish

Good morning and happy Saturday.  I'm licking my soccer wounds still (we lost playoffs last night) as well as an injured glute muscle.  Actually I'm not really sure what's hurt, but something is in pain and I can feel it deep in there even when I'm walking.  But that's neither here nor there because today is another Indie Spotlight, YAY!  This month a group of us wonderful bloggers will be featuring Paint Box Polish on our blogs.  Pam is a big fan of Harry Potter, Doctor Who and Game of Thrones so you'll see some fandom collections/names in her shop.  She's got a wide variety of finishes but I personally love her holo glitters (Westerosi Collection), flakies and multi chromes.  Aside from polish, Paint Box Polish also has an extensive collection of amazingly scented cuticle oils, mani fizzes and Intensive Butter Balm.  I can't speak highly enough of these hand care items.  Scents are seasonal and always rotating so snag up your favorites for healthy and pleasant smelling hands.  Ok, enough of the high praise, I think you get that I love this brand.  As always, you can use my code MNPO for 15% off your order.  Let's jump into the post.
