Mani Monday: Wibbley Wobbley Timey Whimey with Drunken Doctor Stamping!

*Purchased*

Hello Lovelies!
    I am back with another Mani Monday post and this one is one of my favorites! Why do you ask?
Simply because not only is it a gorgeous polish from Lucky 13 Lacquer but it also has an amazing theme! And what is that theme (as if the title didn't give you a clue)?

DR WHO!!

Who hasn't?!?!

   I love Dr Who, I remember watching the classics when I was younger however with the "reboot" of the series starting with Ninth Doctor, Christopher Eccleston, I was hooked.

Sign me up! Let me pack my bags, makeup and polish and I am ready!

  I was concerned when it switched to David Tennant but I loved his portral too..

Yes, yes you are..

 I could go on and on with my love for the good Doctor and I how I want to travel away in a magical blue box, but you came here to see nails and nails are what you are going to get.

Seriously, you will say the same thing after seeing this polish!

Seriously, just look at this polish!!

I wanted to add an older swatch of the polish itself so you can take in the full extent of it's awesomeness

While my cuticles are looking up my stamping, well...

I used the following this for this awesome themed mani:
Opi's Nail Strengthening Base Coat
Lucky 13 Lacquer 's Wibbley Wobbly Timey Wimey
Vapid Lacquer's  Get Your Shine  On Fast Drying Topcoat
Pure Ice Superstar!
Creative Design's Stamper * (You can only pick this up through a group purchase I have included the link)
JR 31 Stamping Plate

   While it is true that my stamping needs some help since the Tardis looks seriously drunk on my nail I had to share this mani with you.

Even the Doctor agrees that my stamping needs some work but the polish is FABULOUS!

   You can pick up Wibbley Wobbly Timey Wimey polish from Lucky 13 Lacquer. You can also follow her on Facebook, join her Facebook Fangroup, and of course on Instagram. Are you a Dr Who Fan? If so who is your favorite Doctor? I am tied between Eccleston (since he is my first Doctor) and Tennant. So until next time lovelies! Paint your nails and watch Dr. Who!

Late Mani Monday Post: Featuring Patina from Gothic Gala Lacquers!

*Press Sample*
Hello Lovelies!
    Sorry for the late posting today for my Mani Monday post, unfortunately my internet has been having issues today and has been down off and on all day. I can only guess that it has been from the epic wave of thunderstorms that we have been having recently.

Yup, this was my internet today..

 However I am back today with another Mani Monday post with Gothic Gala Lacquer's, Patina. Patina, is the newest last minute edition to the awesome Steam Punk Collection that GGL put out at the beginning of this month that I was lucky to swatch for her. Samantha did an excellent job capturing the grittier, yet still beautiful side of Steam Punk that people often over look with nice bright and shiny things.

Gritty and beautiful always make me think of Steam Punk

Patina is listed on the site as a teal leaning more towards green with a shimmer. It is simply a gorgeous light blue green with a golden shimmer much like the green that sometimes appears when copper oxides. Just take a look since I did manage to take some photos in between downpours.

With Shiny Top Coat

 Naturally Matte

Patina is naturally a gorgeous matte polish but looks just as beautiful with a shiny top coat. Due it is being a matte, the polish consistency is thicker and I only needed two coats for this mani. You can purchase Patina at Gothic Gala Lacquers' site. However you can also follow GGL on Facebook, the Facebook Fangroup and Instagram. I hope that you enjoyed this late Mani Monday! Until next time lovelies!

Mani Monday featuring Literary Lacquer!

*Purchased* *Press Sample*

Hello Lovelies!
   I am back again today with a new installment of Mani Monday! First, I must apologize that this post was supposed to go up last Monday but to to the preschool chaos that was happening here I missed it. So, I do apologize.But, today I have to chance to show of some really gorgeous beauties from Literary Lacquer. Literary Lacquer is run by a wonderful lady named Amy and she creates FABULOUS polishes based off of novels! So of course being the big giant literary nerd that I am, I squealed with joy at the aspect of this.

Yup, this is my face looking at her available polishes. Cause seriously they are pretty damn epic.

When the polishes arrived I was blown away as soon as I opened the package. It was as if pure literary and polish goodness powers combined and punched me in the face with their epic-ness.

So much pure awesome in one package!

I was determined to swatch them all...

I was determined!

I originally picked this gorgeous polish, Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, which is you are a scifi junkie you  will automatically know that is from Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It is one of my favorite books (and yes I even loved the movie hence for your viewing pleasure the fabulous animated gifs). It is described as a vibrant turquoise blue linear holographic polish with added fine holographic glitter. The description isn't kidding this polish is PACKED with holographic glitter. It hits you in the face when the sun shines on it .

That's the holo hitting you in the face.. Just be prepared.

But don't just take my word for it, take a look at this!

I would say that it is more on the green side of turquoise but either way it is fabulous.

Another sunshine shot trying to capture all that holo-y goodness.

Look at all that HOLO! 

I also was lucky enough of get the Bionic MmmmDetector, from the Good Parts Collection based off Erotic Fiction,which is a polish inspired by Vox written by Nicholson Baker. For those of you who are history buffs, or actually lived thru this, this book is the same one given to President Clinton from  Monica Lewinsky. Bionic MmmmDetector is described as a black jelly packed with aqua, teal, blue and green micro glitter. I will admit that when I applied the first coat I was wondering if I needed to apply some undies underneath the polish. But I didn't, it builds up beautifully giving the polish amazing depth.

Step away from the undie polish cause this is gorgeous all on it's own!

This polish while not based on HGTG looks like an amazing space polish.

Trying to capture the glitters just right

Close up shot.. Doesn't it look like an exploding planet?

This could totally be the glitters in the polish.

Finally last but never least, Amy was sweet enough to include a sneak preview a polish, Camazotz,  from the Wrinkle in Time Collection which is another favorite book from my childhood. Camazotz is the planet that has been swallowed by the Dark Thing. This polish fits it perfectly since it is described as a black linear holo with a blue/ red shift. It can even appear purple at some angles.

Don't be sad, while the planet was swallowed by the Dark Thing the polish is fabulous!

See here it appears black

And close up you can see the purplish hue.

  I loved all of the polishes so much I wanted to track Amy down and immediately hug her for combining two of my loves, books and polish into one awesome package!

So much literary and polish love!

Want to know more about Literary Lacquer? Don't Panic and know where your towel is..

And buy amazing polish..

  Literary Lacquers offers full size polishes of these colors and more on her Etsy Store for $10 a piece. You can also find her on Facebook as well as Instagram to be up to date on new releases as well as sales. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of Mani Monday with Literary Laquers. So until next time lovelies, so long and thanks for all the fish!

Until next time! Read some Douglas Adams and watch HGTG!

Mani Monday: No Power in the Verse Can Stop Me

*Purchased*
Hello lovelies!
   I am back again with another installment of Mani Monday! And if you are a super big geek like I am you did this when you read the title...

OMG a FIREFLY REFERENCE?!?!?!

   Yup that is right, today I am doing a Firefly Mani Monday feature!

I know I am super excited too!

 While I know that there are a lot of polish companies that have done a Firefly collection, which the rabid Firefly fan in me wants to collect them all, today I am doing a feature on a special limited edition run.  Yup, that is right. I said limited edition. And we all know that limited edition means, that if you don't get this polish you feel like you are in...

I feel this way every time I see something is limited edition.

Quickly followed by this emotion..

LIMITED EDITION?!?!

Then finally breaking down into this...

WHY does it have to be LIMITED EDITION?!?!

  But this lovely little polish was one of the options for the Notoriously Morbid's Vanishing Cabinet for July. It consisted of four shadows which were inspired by Firefly and either a lipgloss (for the international customers) or a polish. After the Vanishing Cabinet sold out, Carrie was kind enough to offer any additional extras up for sale on the Notoriously Morbid site. So immediately I picked up this polish, cause seriously FIREFLY. Enough said. 

Yup, I am Firefly Obsessed

No Power in the Verse is listed on the site as the "first Morbid Mani polish full of microfine holo glitter in black and purple, mixed with holo blue, holo silver, rosy pink and black shards." While this polish is JAMMED pack with a wide variety of glitters I would say that you need a coat of "undies" underneath this polish to really bring out the depth of all the glitters. I mean just take a look.

All the fancy glittery goodness!

I wish the sun would fully cooperate with bottle shots..

The sun DID however come out for nail shots.. Forgive my Reaver Clawed hand

Makes me think that the whole verse in on my fingers

And a close up shot...Pretty isn't she?

   Due to it being so jammed packed full of glitters dries matte and can be a bit rough. The simple solution to that is just a topcoat to help smooth out everything and to really bring out the depth of the shine. I used the following polishes on this mani:
Nail Trek II (base coat)
Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter A Peel (trying this is my first time which it is supposed to help with glitter polish removal so stay tuned for an upcoming review)
Sinful Colors What's Your Name (for undies 2 coats)
Notoriously Morbid's No Power In the Verse (2 coats)
Gothic Gala Lacquer Smooth Me Over (1 Coat)
Vapid Lacquer's Get Your Shine On! Quick Dry Top Coat (1 Coat)

 So if you hurry over to Notoriously Morbid there are seven mini bottles left of this limited edition polish though I do hope that Carrie and Laura make this part of their permanent upcoming line. (*insert an obvious hint hint) and you can snatch up for $4.00 which is a steal. You can also follow Notoriously Morbid on Facebook, Instagram and their Facebook FanGroup. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of Mani Monday and until next time lovelies Stay Shiny and Enjoy Captain Tightpants!

Captain Tightpants wants you to watch Firefly and loves this polish too!
