ellagee Doctor Who collection Part 1--The Blues

Today I have a couple of amazing polishes from ellagee's Doctor Who collection. I have to admit, I've only seen about 7 episodes and so I haven't completely jumped on the Doctor Who bandwagon, but it is a quirky show, I'll give it that! I got 4 from the collection, 2 greens and 2 blues and today I have the blues for you!

Onto the polish!

First up is Sexy Old Girl. Everyone who watches Doctor Who knows he travels in the TARDIS. Well, this polish is a TARDIS blue jelly with holographic glitters! It is so beautiful! My camera went into sparkle overload and couldn't quite catch the awesomeness of Sexy Old Girl. I had a few problems with the formula on this one, only because there is so much glitter and it wasn't cooperating for me. But once I got it on, WOW! It's a stare at your nails all day long polish!



Next up is Trenzalore, named after the place Doctor Who can't go to. What a pity because if it is as gorgeous as this polish, he's missing out!
You know how sometimes you find things in life that is like a part of your soul, a piece of clothing that just soothes you when you put it on, a blanket that automatically makes you feel cozy and comfy, an animal that seems like they're a part of you? This unexpectedly happened for me with Trenzalore. I kid you not! It was the first polish of the four I tried because I thought it was the ugliest in the bottle. My thoughts were, "Eh, I'll wear this one for a day then I'll take it off and try the pretties." It was more like I put this on, and I wore it for FOUR DAYS until one nail was so chipped I HAD to take it off.
Trenzalore is a soft blue-gray polish with subtle scattered holo. Formula is smooth and amazing and just seeing these pics I want to run home and put it back on. I LOVE this polish!




There you have it! The blues of the Doctor Who collection from ellagee. Both can be found at www.ellagee.com along with the other amazing polishes from this collection!

Fan Group Love--ellagee Blueberry Ella-ment

I'm really excited for the next, oh, three weeks of posts. I have some fantastic polishes to show you all, starting with this beauty!

Laura at ellagee created another exclusive polish for her fan group on Facebook, Gee, I Love Ellagee! The members of the group got to vote on the color, finish, and name and this is what we chose, Blueberry Ella-ment!


It's a gorgeous cobalt blue linear holo! Formula is so smooth and it is perfect in 2 coats! I wouldn't expect anything less from ellagee!
Here's another pic that shows some of the holo:

For some reason my camera was having a hard time capturing the holo-awesomeness of Blueberry Ella-ment but trust me when I say it's definitely there in person. I love this color so much that I planned my outfit to my cousin's wedding around it :-) What can I say? I love blue and I love ellagee polish!!

Super fruity,

Orly Macabre Masquerade plus a bonus!!

Good Friday to you all!! I have a polish today I scored during Sally's red tag sale a couple of weekends ago. I picked it up and fell instantly in love with it!

This is Orly Macabre Masquerade, a cobalt blue polish with tiny silver and red glitters. The formula was great on this polish and it's a two coater. If you aren't careful at the tips of your nails though, the glitters will snag and it will chip more easily than a regular cream or shimmer polish. Also clean up for me was kind of a grouch with those tiny glitters! But, so worth it!




The bonus on this post, which I thought was appropriate since this is a blue polish...
MY GREAT NEPHEW JONAH IS HERE!!! Finally!! It seems like I've been waiting forever for his arrival, and he's here! He arrived July 10, 2014 at 3:45 pm. He was 7 pounds, 7 ounces and 21 inches long.

And what a precious face!!! I am so in love with him already!


Happy weekend!!
Proud great-auntie,
