Disclaimer: I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation.

This months theme was Fall, first up we have Leaf Jumping, a medium pink crelly with pastel orange, blue, green, purple, yellow, and red glitter. The second polish is Autmn Twilight, a black jelly packed with pastel purple, darker purple, holo gold in squares and hexs. 

Needless to say I think Amanda really nailed it on the colors.

Sincerely Polish- Witch Upon a Moon

Disclaimer: I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation.

Witch upon a moon is from Sincerely Polish's Something Wicked Collection for Halloween.


For this mani I used 3 coats of Witch upon a Moon, then stamped using Opi Silver Canvas using BMH07 from Bundle Monster and Mash38 for the spider. Super simple mani, but I love how it turned out. 

Just look at all the different gllitter in Witch upon a Moon, there is a mix of large and small different colored hex and squares, also silver holo moons. Although this polish is perfect for Halloween I definitely plan on wearing it anytime of year. 

This collection was released toward the end of  August, unfrotuntely it is long sold out now and will not be restocked. Thought I would mention, sorry.

Shinespark Polish Pumpkin Spice

Disclaimer: I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation.
 
Today I have a swatch of Shinespark Polish in Pumpkin Spice. I had every intention of adding some art to it but I just couldn't it was so pretty all on its own.  I wore this for a few days and barely had a bit of tipwear.
 
Shinespark Polish - Pumpkin Spice
 
Normally I take all my photos under my desk lamp, but holos look so much better in natural sunlight. For the swatche I used 2 coat, then topped with Seche Vite.
 
While wearing this I felt like I had dipped my nails in a pumpkin pie, its just so spot on. I am so excited for fall, this polish is perfect I will for sure be doing some fall themed nail art using this one.
 

Blurred on purpose to show the oh so pretty holo

Below I have one picture under my desk lamp, as you see this one looks very pretty no matter the light.

This polish is part of their Falling Leaves collection, which can be found here, listed individually or as the whole set. The whole set is sold out, but I saw mention on their instagram about a restock soon. I of course had to have the whole set, so look forward to seeing more soon.

I'm very excited to be sharing swatches from new indie brand Nellie Belle's with you today! Funny story, my nickname growing up was actually Nellie because my dad's bowling nickname was "Woah Nelly!". I even have a Julep polish named Nellie because of that! Back to the polishes though...

King of the Sea and My Heart!

Disclaimer: I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation.


A long time ago in a galaxy far away I found an awesome Disney themed topper from a new to me indie brand and was lucky enough to receive a mini of it from a friend! At the time King Triton from Blue Sparrow Trinkets only came in a mini and I love minis so I was totally cool with that. Until I saw the polish in person and it blew my tiny little brain. For months it sat untried as I was afraid to use up all this awesomeness. When I finally did break down and use it I kept it on for 4 days so you know it's true love.

A few more Blue Sparrow nail polishes from my last nail model package today. This time both are in the same color family, blue! April also included some little blue sparrow vinyls and copper metal sparrows. They paired so perfectly with the first polish and shop's namesake, Blue Sparrow.

Pink Lemonade Watermarble

The heat has begun to finally feel sort of Summer-like and do you know what I associate most with heat? 
Yep, hands down it's pink lemonade! Originally I thought of doing a gradient...but then I thought what could be better than a pink and yellow watermarble!

It's Mer-Magical!

Disclosure:  I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation

Living in the Midwest there are few special effect polishes that I can take full advantage of, however thermal polishes are one. Between the 6 month long winters and extreme summer heat requiring air conditioning I can wear thermals year round. This particular squishy, glittery color changer is Polish Me Silly Mermaid Tears. I was inspired to add some nail art by the name and color since who doesn't love mermaids!

Little Miss Disappear

Disclosure:  I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation


If there's one thing I'm probably the biggest sucker for it's anything and everything Disney related! The Lady Varnishes has been releasing a monthly Disney villain since December 2014 and then last November she also began releasing a Disney/Pixar Girl monthly as well. These ladies have all been full coverage holographic micro glitters. April's Pixar Girl was Little Miss Disappear for Violet Parr in The Incredibles; it is indeed incredible!

A true violet, Little Miss Disappear is made up of various sized blue and purple micro glitters. Pictured is 2 coats over an almost invisible base color but can be fully opaque in 3 layers on its own. Not only is the holo stunning but this can appear more blue or purple leaning depending on lighting.

Recently I was given the opportunity to nail model for Blue Sparrow Trinkets! April is such a sweetheart and I can't wait to continue to work with her, which also means there will be more of these to come.

One for all, and all for one

Helloooo readers, we haven't officially met yet but I think we'll get to know each other soon enough. I will be doing a formal intro post in the future but for now: Hi I'm Netters!

Gotta love that feeling when you squash one of your biggest polish lemmings. Recently, thanks to her wonderful kindness, I was able to get my hands on the entire Musketeers collection from European indie maker Polish Alcoholic. I've loved pretty much anything to do with every variation of The Musketeers for as long as I remember. Most recent in my heart however has been the BBC series The Musketeers. I discovered this collection not long after the show aired on BBC America and immediately added it to my wishlist. However before I could purchase it Aramis sold out! Boo. I decided to contact the owner out of desperation and she was sweet enough to make more Aramis so I could purchase the whole collection and at sale prices to boot. I swooned harder for these babies than their respective actors on the show...and that's pretty hard.
