**Press Samples** If you are anything like me, today's post will be a tear jerker. But with very good reasoning. Karen, the creative genius behind Lollipop Posse Lacquer, was inspired by The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein for her limited edition polish for June. Personally, I can't read this book without sobbing like a baby. I was happy the copy we bought, when we...

**Press Samples** I've got the upcoming Fun in the Sun Collection from Smokey Mountain Lacquer to show you all today. You can tell that Kim, the creative genius behind Smokey Mountain Lacquer, had a lot of fun creating this collection. Each color is like a piece of summer in a bottle. I may not be a fan of summer, the beach, or heat in general, but...

**Press Samples** I'm not feeling so hot today. That circle of life shit is going around...you know the one...kid goes to school, gets sick, comes home and requires snuggles from mommy, then mommy ends up sick. Horrible coughing, sore throat, throbbing sinuses, and congested chest has taken over my house. My husband is treating us like we have leprosy. Better for everyone though,...

Super Moon Lacquer was created by The Howling Boutique, a jewelry maker from Texas. She started making polish for her jewelry. She had so much fun creating the polish for her jewelry, she decided to reformulate and make polish...

**Press Samples** We are going to start this week off on a fun note! I've got eight miscellaneous beauties from Literary Lacquer to show off today. This isn't an upcoming collection or anything special, just some polishes she sent from already released collections for me to give some extra attention to. I've got a lot to show you, and a sick kid to take care...

**Press Sample** Today, I've got a special polish to show you all. There is a Facebook group called Crazy 4 Crellies. It is filled with several people who love crellies. Some of the groups similar to this one have makers create customs for them. These crazies went above and beyond that and decided to create the #CrellyCrate. One price, one box, 5 limited edition crellies...what more...

**Press Samples** I have a new (to me) brand to show you all today. I received these a while ago, but lost them. In doing some Spring cleaning in my daughter's room, I found she is a little magpie and had a stash of my pretty sparkly polishes hidden in her room. I have a lot of back log to catch up on....

**Press Samples** I've got two beauties from Barielle's Protect Plus Color with Prosina Signature Collection to show you all today. The Protect Plus Color line has the same formula you love from Barielle but infused with Prosina. Prosina is a specialized keratin that strengthens, conditions, and protects weak, thin, and brittle nails. A polish that does all that? Of course I'd want to try it!  ...

**Press Samples** I've got the beautiful, sophomore collection from Anchor & Heart Lacquer to show you all today. She did a beautiful job with her My Friends, My Anchors Collection. Each polish is named after qualities that describe great friends. Taryn, the mastermind behind Anchor & Heart Lacquer, asked the ladies in her fan group what were qualities that they looked for in friends. She took some of...

**Press Samples** You guys...hold onto your socks! I'm getting ready to knock them off your feet! Pretty & Polished has gone and taken all of our favorite female songstresses and figured out how to put their essence into a bottle. I know that sounds incredibly strange and creepy, and if you've seen the movie Perfume: The Story of a Murderer...no, she didn't go all serial...

**Press Samples** Today, I get to show you all swatches of the next G.N.O.M.E. Box. This is my first time working with this box, and I was so excited when they approached me. The G.N.O.M.E. Box stands for Glitter Nerds Of Magical Existence. That is clever and whimsical and I love it! This box is different in that it only has three makers....

**Press Samples** I love when I get to show you all products from a new (to me) indie. Today is one of those days! Although, this brand won't be new (to me) for long. I have a feeling you'll be seeing a lot more of them from me. I still can't believe this is my first time trying Stardust Beauty. So far, everything I've...

**Press Samples** Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer has been busy! Not with a collection, but with several small batch beauties. I was elated when four of them showed up on my doorstep. As I unwrapped each one, I squealed. These may be Spring Small Batches, but they are on the dark side. I love dark polishes. Especially in the Spring. Please tell me I'm not...

**Press Samples** It's that time again!! Faeries & Folklore Nail Polish is releasing the next Myth of the Month polish! This one is so much fun! This time the Myth of the Month will be available for May, June, AND July. That's because it is a special one. She created the Nessraffisaur just for this. Yes, Nessraffisaur. It's a combination of the Loch Ness Monster,...

**Press Samples** I had a little snafu with my hard drive so I wasn't able to access pictures for the post I was originally going to do, but I had this one in my back pocket for a time like this. In talking, Ricarda, from Rica, took note that I had been looking for a new black cream since my favorite had been discontinued....

**Press Samples** Today is a big day in the Geekdom, it's May the fourth, a day all Star Wars lovers celebrate (and a fun pre-game to Cinco de Mayo). Of course, it's the perfect day for the Star Wars inspired Nouveau Geek Box to be released. I am loving this box! The first two have been fantastic, and I can't wait to see what else...

**Press Samples** You guys!!! LynBDesigns did a neon thing and it is A-FREAKING-MAZING!!! This year, she decided to go with some pastel neons, and I couldn't be happier. Since they are neons, the only appropriate direction to go with the names are vacation spots. Maybe even ones that you can only dream about. A little out of reach. I'm not normally a beach fan, but...

**Press Samples** I have a fun sort of post to show you all in my first May post. Side note - how in the hell is it already May?! This year is getting out of hand. I don't know if I can handle how fast this year is flying by. Each year seems to go by faster and faster. I don't know why...
