GOT Polish! Golden Oldie Thursday: Dots - Starring Illamasqua
Nothing to Disclose
*These products are Cruelty Free
♥
I have a serious problem in that I am always looking for that NEW polish fix when I have so many lovely polishes languishing in the drawer...polish I love enough to save them from purges or the donation box. And yet I don't wear them!
So when Debbie over at The Crumpet put together the GOT Polish Challenge, I was all for it! GOT stands for Golden Oldie Thursday - we pull out a polish that's a year old or older that we haven't worn. This Thursday is dots! So I've pulled out 3 Illamasqua polishes for this one...Stance, Faux Pas and Fern.

Nail of the Day: Pahlish Partridge in a Pear Tree
*This product is Cruelty Free
♥
Sorry I haven't been posting as much the last few days - with the car being stolen and then found and all of the replacement ID, cards, etc. my lunch has been officially eaten and my hind quarters properly handed to me.
But today I have a quick nail of the day for you starring Pahlish! This one is Partridge in a Pear Tree, which was from the Christmas collection. But it's a year-'round polish in my opinion.
Pahlish
Partridge in a Pear Tree
Partridge in a Pear Tree is a solt, creamy off-white cream shade with purple/burgundy glitters and green glitters and a generous helping of gold/copper micro-glitter and a soft shimmer. Creamy and smooth - no issues at all to report. This is a reformulation, but I don't have the original to compare. You can see a comparison over at Pahlish's Blog though!
What do you think? It has just the right amount of glitter to remain creamy smooth and still pop!
You can purchase Pahlish on their Big Cartel site here or at Overall Beauty or Llarowe. Polishes retail for $9 and $15 for Duos.
You can also visit Pahlish on Facebook, Overall Beauty on Facebook and Llarowe on Facebook for more information.

Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen ("Margaret" when not in her "skin suit")
Ninth Doctor. Aliens of London
When the Slitheen are in their skin suits they fart loudly; they call this the gas exchange. The exchange of gases that compression entails also builds up within the acquired skin, causing a very loud fart in humans (the expelled gas smells like bad breath, which the Doctor noted was a form of calcium decay).

The Lacquer Legion: Reinvention - Unconventional Shades of Valentine's Day
Nothing to Disclose
*These products are Cruelty Free
♥
I'm excited to be participating in the first Lacquer Legion challenge, put together by Chalkboard Nails, Rebecca Likes Nails, The Nailasaurus, and Work/Play/Polish. This month, the theme is reinvention. If you want to participate, you can like The Lacquer Legion on Facebook and hashtag your posts on all social media with #LLreinvention. Each month there will be a different theme and hashtag.
I was pretty excited to be participating in this and had several ideas in my head when I first heard about this. And then I got busy and, in true Sheila fashion, forgot about it completely. So I didn't have time to do any of the ideas I was excited about initially. Once again, flying by the seat of my pants, I came up with this quick and easy mani that sort of reinvents the common, classic heart for Valentine's Day using unconventional colors. Yeah, I'm not much of a pink-lover.
Unconventional Shades of Valentine's Day
I used a base of Oopsie Daisies Secret Admirer, which I was already wearing, and free-handed blue hearts and stripes using a-England Tristam with a few plain white accents.
I'll tell you what, I bet for the next challenge, I prepare and set a reminder on my phone! I can't wait to see what the next theme will be because I plan on killin' it!

Oopsie Daisies
Secret Admirer
Oopsie Daisies is a new-to-me brand and you might know that the first one I picked is MY color! Seriously, this shade of violet orchid is just perfection and probably the best shade for my bleached flour white, cool-toned skin there is.

Nothing to Disclose
*This product is Cruelty Free

I'm excited to show you my first Philly Loves Lacquer polish that was my nail of the day today: 2 AM Coffee Run.
You know when people are contacting you to tell you about a polish because it seemed tailor-made for you, it must be good. And that's what happened with this one. Anyone who knows me or has been following me here for long knows I'm addicted to coffee, a subtle holo, browns and bacon. Well, there's no bacon in this, but it's definitely a trifecta!

Eleven, Matt Smith's Doctor, is probably best known for "bow ties are cool" - even more than "fish fingers and custard" I think. For the record, I disagree. I also disagree that fezzes are cool. But I have to admit, he rocked all of it.

Okay, so it's really a Police Call Box. Well not really. It's the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space) but yeah, the Angels had it! It's a line from the "Blink" episode. But they didn't really have it. It dematerializes, leaving the angels looking at each other, which freezes them permanently as statues. Brilliant!
