This shade reminds me of the butter mints I get from Cracker Barrel every time we go. I can do that, because we only eat there, hmm, maybe once a year. If you haven't had a butter mint from Cracker Barrel, they're like little clouds of old-fashioned buttery minty magic.  My Mom used to make something similar. Like, she had candy molds and everything. Like, who does that? My Mom. She did. I don't think I ever fully appreciated her talents as a child. Mom, if you're reading this, I'm *still* sorry I broke the Donald Duck eyes that were meant for my birthday cake. Mink Floor from @ec_nailpolish, three thin coats, no top. Wicked shine. Getcha some. #elianascollection #ec_nailpolish #minkfloor #ecminkfloor #yellownailpolish #indiepolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #diygelmani #courtesyofmanigeek #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #mylifephotography #nofilter #1000daysofuntrieds

This is two coats of "Fixin' To". C'mon ... this name?? Hahahahaha! Its a backbone staple of southern dialect. And this shade was made and named by someone in California. Moon Shine Mani, to be specific. And really ... "moonshine"? Another staple of southern culture! Phoebe (Moon) may have said her husband named this polish. Not sure, but there must be a native somewhere in their family cause everything in this collection has a frickin awesome name. I love the brush, formula, shade and subtle green shimmer. No top coat needed for 'shine.

Its a bird! Its a plane! No, its just the shiftiest polish I've ever photographed. This is Colores de Carol's Pandora. At first glance, it was a sure winner for a Friday purple. But then ... as CdC describes it ... "reddish pink to green" except there is some blue and little bit of gold mixed in along the way. Mind. Blown. I mean, I've seen shifty multichromes before but its another thing entirely to paint it on your nails and try and photograph it accurately. WTH? Maybe I should stick to multichromes on like, a Tuesday or something. Either way, enjoy. Cause I did. I roamed all around the house in sunlight and incandescent light and fluorescent light and moonlight, and it was beautiful in all of them. #coloresdecarol #pandora #indiepolish #shiftypolish #purplepolish #purplenailpolish #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

Autumn is an interesting time of year. You can wear a greyed-out slate blue one day, and the color fits the season.  And the next day you can wear shimmery golds and reds, along with pumpkin orange, and that's totally Autumn too. This is the second verse of yesterday's song. Sinful Colors, Sugar Pumpkin in one coat. And on the accent, one coat of Pumpkin Spice. All sorts of one-coat pumpkin going on up in this here manicure. #sinfulcolors #sugarpumpkin #pumpkinspice #autumnpolish #orangepolish #orangenailpolish #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

This is a million dollar polish with a two-dollar price tag. That's one coat. One frickin coat! Seriously, like ... one! Sinful Colors really hits it out of the park with some of their shades. I'm sorry this went untried until today. "Rain Storm" (which I wish we were having) ... the perfect denim-y overcast greyish blue. One thing to note is that it dried down darker than what you see in the bottle, and the only way to get an accurate color shot was in artificial lighting. Go figure. Or not. But if you see this one for sale, I recommend it. And if you don't like it, give it to me. I might need a backup. #sinfulcolors #rainstorm #bluepolish #bluenailpolish #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

On Mondays ... yeah you know the drill. But I try not to pick just any old black. What would really be cool is to do some fohnkified nail art over a glossy black for Mondays. Bahahahahahaha! Yeah, that's gonna happen. In the meantime, I have plenty of other magical, enchanting, captivating black polishes to show you. This is Midnight Madness by @rise_and_shine_cosmetics. This is on their sale page right now. I'm not sure why. But its a fun Octobery polish, black with aqua shimmer and lots of glittery sparklies. This is two coats, and tbh I could have stopped with 1, but the second coat made it a deeper and richer version of itself. And a glossy top coat for the win!!! #riseandshine #midnightmadness #onmondayswewearblack #indiepolish #blackpolish #blacknailpolish #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

Almost forgot to post today! Sundays are not for focusing, really. They're for lazing. This is High Spirits from the essence colour&go line. I don't bust this one out often, but its one of my fave greens and I wanted to show it off for #greenswithjules. Its almost a one-coater, and I like it because it has a fine silver shimmer running thru it, which is unusual for this shade. I admit, tho, I only wore it on one hand. Because, weensy little bottle! Weensy amount of polish! Maybe I'll find a backup someday, and then I'll *almost* have two-thirds of a regular sized bottle. #essence #highspirits #greenpolish #greennailpolish #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

I straight-up lifted this idea from @nailtrip. Do not like this post without checking out her version of this mani!!! Imeanit! I'm pretty vanilla when it comes to painting my nails. I paint them all a solid color. And then I stop. No nail art, no decals, no stamping or anything. Sometimes I do an accent nail. I'd love to get into that stuff, but really, I'm doing good to get a shower and brush my teeths every day. There's just no time for much else. So when I saw this beautiful gradient mani in @nailtrip's feed, it made me stop and say "oh sweet heavens, I can DO that!" Its so lovely and fall. I subbed Suzi Loves Cowboys since I do not have Squeaker of the House. I think I'm going to find a lighter peach and do a pedicure with it next. But would you go big-toe as dark brown or pinky-toe? #nailtrip #opi  #gradientmani #freedomofpeach #yankmydoodle #insidetheisabelletway #suzilovescowboys #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

This polish came to life after two coats. At one coat, its just eh, so don't grab this if you have to run out the door. But at two coats, duuuuuuude. It woke up and said "where's the party?" It dried to a kind of satin finish, so I wanted to see what it would look like glossy. I liked it both ways. Only photographed it one way, sorry. TGIF, errrrrrrbody!!! Oh yeah ... almost forgot. This is CND Vinylux Grape Gum. Check it out, its kind of a purple-shifting purple. #cndvinylux #grapegum #purplenailpolish #purplepolish #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

Greeny-gold pukey baby-poop colors. I love them. I don't even think they're "pretty ugly." I just think they're pretty. When you have red hair and ghostly skin, there's just something about this shade that fits. Now I do love me some black polish, and all the vampy colors in between ... but this ... this color is mine to own. Give it up for two coats (next time I might try three) of Pythia, from @sassypantspolish. Happy Thursday, y'all. We got this. #sassypantspolish #pythia #indiepolish #greenswithjules #greennailpolish #greenpolish #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

Lookit. Just lookit! Is this or is this not a grab-you-by-the-ears kind of shade? @beeskneeslacquer September COTM, called Hello Gourd-geous. This is two coats, no top. First impressions, let me have em. Then I'll give you mine. I can tell you this much, I'm a fan of the flakie. Didn't usedta be. Am now. #beeskneeslacquer #hellogourdgeous #indiepolish #fallpolish #orangenailpolish #orangepolish #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

On Mondays we wear black. On Mondays it should rain. On Mondays it feels like I spend most of the day just waiting for it to end. The highlights of the day include: painting my nails, bringing the mail in, and going to bed. Not necessarily in that order. This is Finger Paints "Where Art Renoir?" in two coats and a glossy top. I get all excited about Finger Paints polishes. When I go into Sally Beauty, the FP display always seems kinda small, like "this is it?" But! Over the years there have been some really cool offerings. I'd say my FP collection has the highest percentage of unique polishes in it. And I'll stop there bc I don't want all my other polishes to hear me and get jealous. #fingerpaints #fingerpaintspolish #whereartrenoir #onmondayswewearblack #blacknailpolish #blackpolish #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

Oh my heart. I knew the day after Pennywise was going to be a let-down regardless ... and I almost felt bad picking out a follow-up, knowing it was cursed from the outset. But some polish had to do it. This is two coats of Sinful Colors Flight To See. It was pretty sheer on the first coat, but I thought it built up pretty nice on the second. I'm not sure I can see any opalescence. Do you? Poor little flight-to-see. It did its best. I give it an A for effort. #sinfulcolors #flighttosee #purplenailpolish #purplepolish #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

I love this polish. My pictures of it fall short, but I looooove this polish. @beeskneeslacquer launched what ... a couple weeks ago? Sarah, the mixmaster, will help me out here if I'm wrong. Anyway, as soon as I saw Pennywise in the torturous pre-launch posts, I loved it. Don't ask me why. I don't know how my polish heart works either. But I want to wear this forever and never take it off. So this may be the last nail post I ever do. I couldn't capture the shimmer properly, so if you really want to see it in its true form, look at the other swatches. The site describes it as "a white crelly polish with gold and red to green shifting shimmer and loaded with red to gold flakies." Yep. That's Pennywise. I shoulda got a backup bottle. #beeskneeslacquer #pennywise #whitenailpolish #whitepolish #indiepolish #thereispowerinpolish #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

I love blue, but it is not my favorite color. In the same way that cake is not my favorite food. I don't want it all the time, but when I need it, nothing else will do. This is the September COTM from @nativewarpaints. This polish is for the wearer. You can't really get the full effect unless you can hold it up close and see all the micro shimmers play together. But if you do get this one, and you can because it is still available, and if you turn it this way and that in the light while things are boring at work, you will see that it was made for you to enjoy. Now, if you're a person who doesn't mind strangers examining your hands up close, then this polish is both for the wearer and the viewer. I am not that person. Get your own. #nativewarpaints #nwp #nwpseptembercotm #shimmerpolish #indiepolish #bluepolish #bluenailpolish #onsaturdayswewearblueorwhite #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds

Auditioning monster greens for the upcoming spooky season. This almost got a try-out for monster splat on the wall, because ... four tries to get a photogenic manicure. FOUR. Execution and polish were flawless, but one or more nails got dinked on three consecutive manicures. So I made monster sounds to go with my monster nails. It was only fitting. Emerald Blaze by Cover Girl, and even tho it was an untried before today, it now has a fill line below shoulder. But ... see the shiftiness around the edges? Cool. #covergirl #covergirloutlast #emeraldblaze #monsternails #greenpolish #greennailpolish #onthursdaysweweargreen #nailz #nailsofinstagram #nailsofig #nailstagram #ilovenailpolish #nailpolish #polishlover #polishaddict #polishjunkie #ignails #instanails #showmethemani #manioftheday #nailoftheday #notd #polishoftheday #potd #polishmakestheworldgoround #1000daysofuntrieds
