Polish Disappointment and Zoya Kotari

Ugh I'm so disappointed right now.  I had been planning all day to purchase some very cool polishes from Lynderella during one of her blog sales, but I got the time wrong thinking it started at 7pm EST and missed the window by a few minutes even though I'd timed myself to get in 10 or 15 minutes before the sale started and then make my list and send it out.  It was all sold out when I sent my order at 7pm!  I wanted to cry tears of bloody red polish!  Why is my life always like this? I miss things within minutes.  I'm busy too so it's hard to time for these things.  For most people this would have been a good time to buy because it's post work, but this little lacquerhead keeps a very funky schedule - alas!  Hopefully I'll still be able to get what I wanted during the next sale <--- forced optimism - lol. Darnit I wanted those polishes!

Onto something that's anything but disappointing - a rare non-nail art layering post.  Say what?!? Non nail art?  Who's blog is this?  I know it's rare for me not to break out the paints, brushes, stamps, etc but occasionally when pressed for time or just wanting to simplify my routine I will do layerings.  I call them my nail-art off days. Unfortunately, I somehow lost the pictures of the layering so I'll have to do it again but for now the incomprehensibly lovely Zoya Kotari.

Dashica meets Sally Hansen Black Patent

It's my first dark mani of the fall!  Yup - if you follow my YT you'd have seen it's been nothing but brights, brights, brights since spring.  I both hate and love summer because I can break out super saturated colors, but the sweltering temperatures leaves me feeling less than enthusiastic.  So when the fall rolls around I'm so happy because I can rock my fail safe combo - shorts and a hoodie sweatshirt.  Fall comfort at it's best!  It's also the time when I can start bringing out some super duper dark colors such as the most beloved of all my black polishes - Sally Hansen's Black Patent.  This polish is opaque in one, ONE, coat and so shiny and luxe that it has an irreplaceable status in my collection.  I recently put in a huge order at Daschica Beauty that has finally made it's way to me (look out for another post on that later), and could not resist using one of my new plates (SdP A)  for a little stamping action.  I also threw in a Ruffian just for a little contrast using another one of my favorite dark polishes OPI's Lucertainly Look Marvelous.  Check out all the vampy darkness below!



Interested in a tutorial? Let me know and I'll do a quick one.  Thanks for reading and hooray for fall :)
