StrangeBeautiful Volume 1

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I've been up and around early this morning, so I decided to do some swatching for you. The good news is I got it done, the bad news is that my pesky left thumb nail popped right of, silk wrap and all, as soon as I removed its old polish. Dangit!!! So, for the first time ever, we have an all-right-hand post today while I decide how short to make them. You'll have to forgive my pictures - I'm not that good at taking pictures of my right hand...

I swatched StrangeBeautiful Volume 1 for you, since I've never seen swatches of them online before. I figured, as long as I'm doing random stuff this week, why not make it unusual stuff? They're all two coats with no top, and none have names (that still unnerves me!). All are cremes.

First is a pretty orchid color.

Plum.

Brown could have used a third coat.

Nifty slightly blue green.

Excellent true blue.

Perfect pumpkin orange.

This red started the line, and might just unseat Dior Poppy as my favorite red.

Cool khaki, my NOTD. This one has a top coat.

My only real criticism is the lack of names! I really like every single color, with the red, orange, and khaki being at the top of the list.

That's all for now, Dear Reader. Until next time, love and nail polish to you!

StrangeBeautiful Nail Polish!

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

I'm making another departure from this week's theme with this post. I'm doing a lot better this week than I did last, but this time, I just have to...

I went out with some friends at lunchtime today, and as I was getting out of my friend's car to come home, I snapped my left thumb nail a hair shy of all the way off. All the way down. Dangit!!! I had a package waiting for me at the door,but I was more concerned with getting a silk wrap on my nail and fixing it than anything else. I did, and for now, all is well.

Then I opened the package. Guess what it was? Since you likely read the title, you already know: StrangeBeautiful Nail Polish! This one can be categorized as A Weirdo Brand You Can Only Buy Online. Here's info, if you want it, on their site. The upside is that the colors are fabulous, well pigmented, easily two-coaters, and B3F, down side is, they have no names!!! The horror... So I just used one from Volume 2, a violet blue, and here she is in two coats with a base and top.

So that's my intro so StrangeBeautiful. I like it!

Until tomorrow, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!
