Exactly what the title says. It’s the first polish I ever bought, and my most worn, most beloved colour. I had enough left for a few more manicures, but I’ve just cracked the bottle on the sink.

I was barely able to salvage any of it, and I’m absolutely crushed. I looked at repurchasing, but it’s been discontinued a while ago and out of stock everywhere.

If anyone’s willing to part with their bottle of this polish, I’d be eternally grateful to you! I can pay. Please let me know.

I’m located in B.C.

Hi all, I don’t usually make a big deal out of my birthday and want to feel special this year. It’s on Thursday, but family dinner is Tuesday.

I don’t know why it’s causing me so much grief, because usually I can decide no problem, but I cannot for the life of me now. Help me, if you would. There isn’t one I’d prefer more than the others, that’s my problem— I literally just cannot decide.

EDIT— sorry yall my list got hidden in the reply to the mod comment. Here are the polishes, in order:

-Hygge, cirque colours (discontinued)
-Devils bridge, clionadh cosmetics (polish pickup over pour)
-sangre de drago, clionadh cosmetics
-lightwave, ILNP
-fair isle, lynbdesigns
-raincheck, cirque colours with a reflective topper over it
-deaths trumpet, mooncat with various toppers.

And then the final photo, ILNP jumping puddles, bluebell, Merlot, and spiced cider with clionadh lightfast in the middle.

I was looking back at photos just now and yall. My nails have come SO FAR in the past ten months, it’s crazy. I’m genuinely so proud of myself. I think if my old self could see what my hands are like now, she wouldn’t believe they were really mine.

The first photo was in October, the second photo was taken right now. I don’t even have the words. Nail polish helped more than I can describe.

Sorry yall, this post is a doozy— haven’t posted any manicures in a while so I’m dumping all of them on you today.

Dog tax at the very end because I didn’t realize how many times I’ve taken photos of my nails with Fernando in the background! Here goes nothing, I’m doing this all from memory:

Photo 1: Clionadh cosmetics’ “sangre de drago” poorly magnetized at 3am because I finished my grad dress 20 minutes earlier and was dead set on red nails for my ceremony.

Photo 2 and 3: Mooncat’s “koi whiskers” in warm (photo 2) and semi-cool (photo 3) states, topped with clionadh “Lightfast.”

Photo 4: 2 layers of cirque colours “moonbeam” topped with “charcoal jelly” and “downpour jelly,” and then because I still didn’t like it— a coat of sally hansen’s “unicorn top coat” overtop. These ones, I did in the dark on my sisters birthday because our power was randomly out for six hours.

Photo 5: lynbdesigns “fair isle” but with a slug because it was huge and I was taking a photo for my mother. It kissed me! I was thrilled.

Photo 6: cirque colours “Hygge,” my favourite polish of all time.

Photo 7: mooncat’s “memento mori.”

Photo 8: clionadh “joyous” under their “happy as a clam” topper.

Photo 9: I want to say this is clionadh “lightfast” on its own but it looks weird here? But pretty sure.

Photo 10: lynbdesigns “cats paw.”

Photo 11: clionadh “solar friction” magnetized… I don’t remember how.

Photo 12 and 13: lynbdesigns “I did a punch!”

Photo 14: lynbdesigns “fair isle” (can we see a pattern emerging here?)

Photo 15: cirque colours “raincheck.” I was influenced, okay? Basically hygge but moodier. It has a layer of a reflective glitter polish on top, these were my night 3 circus nails.

Photo 16: my circus nails for show nights 1 and 2. My family runs a circus, okay? From pinky to pointer: cirque “hemlock,” clionadh “forge lite,” “tessera,” and “statue garden.” Feat. Cheap nail stickers.

(Almost done here, folks. If you got this far I thank you for it)

Photo 17: lynbdesigns “butterfly pea flower lemonade” in the sun and I think slightly warm, too.

Photo 18: ILNP “power surge” magnetized velvet style.

Photo 19? Fernando. My sweet boy.

And that wraps up the last two (?) months or so. Photos are in no way in chronological order. It’s been a treat! Happy summer!

I begrudgingly ordered lynb’s Fair Isle in my last order, even though I thought I would hate it on myself… turns out, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Whoops.

These are the few I actually got photos of, I change them every couple of days haha. I just think they’re neat :)
