I finally did my nails outside of swatching and wo I finally did my nails outside of swatching and wore a manicure for more than 30 minutes!! Yay!! I got this Mario themed mani done just in time for the @polishedgamers Facebook group February mani collab! And yes, the irony that I used a Zelda inspired polish for a Mario mani is not lost on me. 😅 . . .

PR SAMPLE @bcblacquers is back with another birth PR SAMPLE @bcblacquers is back with another birthstone polish! This is March's "Aquamarine" and it will be available starting Friday, February 26th at 12:00pm ET! Check out my blog @nerdlifenails for my full review! . . . Price: $12.00 USD Description: A light blue polish with a blue and white shimmer, with blue, white, and silver micro flakies, and frost blue micro glitters. Available at: www.bcblacquers.com . . . My swatches are 3 coats of the polish over a peel off base coat and topped with a quick dry top coat. I’m going to start off by saying I am a huge fan of the little ‘v’ shaped glitters and I LOVE that there are some in this polish. This polish does apply pretty easily even for being pretty glitter heavy and 3 coats gave me full coverage. I think I was even doing thinner coats as well. I did however have to do a little bit of color correcting because my camera made this polish a little bit lighter blue / white than it is in person and I’m pretty sure my photos are pretty color accurate now. I am also obsessed with this one matte. I really just cannot get enough of flakie / glitter heavy polishes matte. It just shows off “the goods” so well! 😉 . . . #bcblacquers #nailpolishswatch #nailpolishes #nails4today #nailpolishhoarder #nailpolishoftheday #birthstone #birthstonenails #march #marchbirthdays #marchbirthstone #glitterpolish #aquamarine #aquamarinestone #aquamarinenails #bluenails💙 #bluenails #blue #bluenailpolish
PR SAMPLE Hey everyone! I have one of the three F PR SAMPLE Hey everyone! I have one of the three February Talk Indie To Me polishes to show off today! This will be available at zombieclawpolish.com starting at 7:00 PM Central tonight!! The polish will only be sold as part of the trio and the price is $30 plus shipping. 😊 The Talk Indie To Me box is a collaborative box featuring Zombie Claw, Sweet and Sour Lacquer, and 1 guest maker! This month's guest maker is Peachtree Polish and the theme is "Flowers!" . . . From @sweetandsourlacquer this is "Coral Sunrise" Description: A peachy/coral crelly base with iridescent flakies, blue/green metallic aurora flakies, and various aurora shimmers Inspiration: The Coral Lily My swatches are 2 coats of polish. Now this is a stunning coral. I did have to do some color correcting because my camera only wanted to pick up the pink, but it is just an incredible polish. There are so many flakies and it applied like butter! This is definitely a must have and the other two polishes look gorgeous as well! This is definitely a fantastic trio! 😊 . . . #sweetandsourlacquer #coral #coralnails #corallily #coralnails💅 #coralnailpolish #flakies #shimmerpolish #nailpolishswatch #talkindietome #peach #peachnailpolish #indienails #nailpolishcollector
February's @polishedgamers Box opens tomorrow and February's @polishedgamers Box opens tomorrow and I took some photos of a respawn item that will be available during the normal sales period! @fangirlpolish is respawning her Chocobo Keychain from the Final Fantasy Box! I did purchase this when it was originally released so it is not a PR SAMPLE. 😊 . . . Description: No need to gather nuts, greens, fly all over to capture different chocobos, or even visit the Chocobo Farm… You can have your very own Gold Chocobo, and bring it with you on every adventure, with this fun keychain! A cute, double sided, resin glazed, gold chocobo dangles from a silver keychain, accented with a beautiful black Aurora Borealis glass bead. Price: $10.00 USD Cap: 72 Inspiration: Gold chocobo Size: 4 inches long including keychain . . . Check out my blog @nerdlifenails (link in bio) for all the important release information, my full review, and more photos! This will be available February 15th - 20th at www.polishedgamersbox.com . . . This keychain originally came with a Fangirl Logo tag but this respawn of the item will not. It is an adorable and sturdy (yet lightweight) keychain that will be a super cute addition to any keychain or purse! I actually had mine displayed on my desk because I’m too scared to ruin all my amazing keychains……But any way you use it, it’s still adorable! . . . #fangirlpolish #polishedgamersbox #polishedgamers #indieartist #indiebrand #resinartwork #resin #resinartist #resinart #resincraft #resincrafts #finalfantasy #finalfantasychocobo #chocobo #keychain #gamerkeychain #gamer
PR SAMPLE February's @polishedgamers Box theme is PR SAMPLE February's @polishedgamers Box theme is Spyro and I have even more goodies to show you all! @tonshimountain is back this month with a GIANT Spyro inspired wax melt! . . . Description: Deep purple dragon skin and 24k gold mica to represent Spyro’s horns. Scent Notes: Grape Soda, Blood Orange, Fizzy Pop Price: $6.60 USD Cap: No cap Size: 4.4 ounces Inspiration: Spyro’s character design for the cover of Reignited Trilogy for PS4 . . . Check out my blog @nerdlifenails (link in bio) for all the important release information, my full review, and more photos! This will be available February 15th - 20th at www.polishedgamersbox.com . . . This. Wax. Melt. Is. Huge. Oh my goodness. I almost couldn’t use my hand for a size comparison because you almost can’t see my hand behind it! The detailing is amazing and there will actually be multiple dragon molds used so there will be a few different dragon images that you could receive! Watching this melt is mesmerizing. If you saw Adria from the November PGB, you saw how pretty that wax melt was with all of the glitters and shimmer while it was melting, and this wax melt has glitter in it too! I think the stronger your candle (or if your melter is electric) the glitter will swirl more. This is my second time using the same tea light and they just aren’t as strong after the first use unfortunately. The scent throw is fabulous and I am finally getting my sense of smell back so I can really smell this one! I pick up fizzy grape soda. Just to the max. But it’s not overbearingly sweet and a little muted by the blood orange. I think while it is melting I smell the blood orange a little bit more, but it also is not overbearing and this is just a nice mixture. . . . #tonshimountainstudios #polishedgamersbox #polishedgamers #spyro #spyrothedragon #indieartist #indiebrand #wax #waxmelt #waxmeltsobsessed #waxmeltsforsale #grape #bloodorange #waxmeltsofinstagram #waxmeltlover #waxmeltaddiction

Description: Resin magnet with Spyro Price: $8.00 USD Cap: 75 Size: 2 in tall x 2 in wide Ingredients: Epoxy resin Inspiration: Spyro . . . Check out my blog @nerdlifenails (link in bio) for all the important release information, my full review, and more photos! This will be available February 15th - 20th at www.polishedgamersbox.com . . . The Sassy Shark has created yet another masterpiece. This magnet perfectly represents purple Spyro and his yellow underbelly and horns. I heckin’ love the little cut out of the tiny dragon as well. And please, do me a favor and check out the low light photos included. I am in love with the shift and shimmer of the glitters that were used in this one. Like the others previously released, this magnet feels pretty darn sturdy and I don’t imagine dropping it would cause any damage. It is another fabulous addition to my collection and I bet it will pair nicely with yours too. 😉 . . . #thesassyshark #polishedgamersbox #polishedgamers #spyro #spyrothedragon #magnet #magnetic #indieartist #indiebrand #resinartwork #resin #resinartist #resinart #resinmagnet #fridgemagnet #resincraft #resincrafts
PR SAMPLE February's @polishedgamers Box theme is PR SAMPLE February's @polishedgamers Box theme is Spyro and I have even more goodies to show you all! This shimmery flakie filled beauty named "The Core Of Light" is brought to you by @swampglosspolish . . . Description: A pink tinted white, with tons of aurora shimmer in red/gold and iridescent flakies in violet/red/purple/orange/gold and scattered holo flakes Price: $13.00 USD Cap: 100 Inspiration: The core of light, an ancient machine that holds off The Darkness . . . Check out my blog @nerdlifenails (link in bio) for all the important release information, my full review, and more photos! This will be available February 15th - 20th at www.polishedgamersbox.com . . . My swatches are 3 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. This polish applied like butter! It is so full of flakies and shimmer that I maybe didn’t expect it to, but it sure did! I am also a little shocked that 3 coats seemed to dry so fast. This is a gorgeous polish that at first I thought was a very very faint blue, but I think that is just the white with pink shimmer playing games with my eyes. This is stunning by itself or also one coat over black blew my mind (I have a photo of what that looks like shown on a nail wheel included). This is definitely one of those polishes that will have you staring at your nails for quite a while! . . . #swampglosspolish #swampgloss #polishedgamersbox #polishedgamers #spyro #spyrothedragon #spyronails #gamernails #nails4today #shimmerpolish #shimmer #flakiepolish #flakienails #flakies #stunningnails #nailpolishswatch #pinkshimmer
PR SAMPLE February's @polishedgamers Box theme is PR SAMPLE February's @polishedgamers Box theme is Spyro and I have even more goodies to show you all! This purple crelly "The Hero" is named after Spyro himself and this beauty is brought to you by @sakicosmetics_ . . . Description: A light purple crelly with purple, orange and white glitters. Price: $12.00 USD Cap: 75 Inspiration: Spyro . . . Check out my blog @nerdlifenails (link in bio) for all the important release information, my full review, and more photos! This will be available February 15th - 20th at www.polishedgamersbox.com . . . My swatches are 3 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. Saki has created another fabulous crelly this month! If you liked the white crelly from last month’s Mario box, you will definitely be a fan of this one too! This polish applied very easily and I think there are even more glitters in this one! It went on super smooth and I am so in love with the color and the mix of glitter sizes and shapes–I definitely think Spyro when I look at this one. 🙂 Each layer of polish dried quickly too. I didn’t have any issues with layers smooshing or pooling up or dragging or anything at all! And as always, I did not fish for glitters–this is just a normal application so there is definitely a healthy amount there! . . . #sakilacquer #sakicosmetics #polishedgamersbox #polishedgamers #spyro #spyrothedragon #spyronails #gamernails #nails4today #purplenails💅💜 #purplenails💜 #purple #purpleglitternails #purplenailpolish #purplenails #crelly #crellynailpolish #crellynails
PR SAMPLE Up next is this gorgeous magnetic polis PR SAMPLE Up next is this gorgeous magnetic polish named "Fire And Ice" from @redeyedlacquer This will be available February 15th - 20th in the Spyro themed @polishedgamers box!! . . . Description: Teal Magnetic with flakies and red/orange shifting shimmer Price: $12.50 USD Cap: 100 Inspiration: Spryo and Crystal Dragon . . . For the magnetized swatches, I used 3 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. For the non-magnetized swatches, I used 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat. The collage included in this thread is the polish not magnetized! Please check out my blog @nerdlifenails for my full review, more photos, and more information on how I went about my magnetic polish application! This time I held the magnet over each nail for a minute! That definitely seemed to help and stop the magnetic pigment spread. 😊 I did bump my pinky nail though (of course something like that had to happen) so I had to add one more coat so it looks a little less magnetized than the others. This polish applied very very easily and I really love this one both magnetized and not magnetized. The shimmer is insane and I’m really happy that a 2.0 version was able to be created. I love the mix of colors though, and I apologize, but I gotta admit that I’m pretty biased because I do love teal and purples. I cannot wait to wear this one again soon! . . . #redeyedlacquer #polishedgamersbox #polishedgamers #spyro #spyrothedragon #spyronails #gamernails #gamer #shimmerpolish #magnetic #magneticnailpolish #magneticpolish #magneticnaildesign #shimmernails #tealnails #purpleshimmer
