A nail polish blog by a Real Fanatic!
Hey everyone! Happy Valentines Day! I actually got a mani done and some photos taken in time to post on the actual day! My husband and I have been together forever (married 25 years last year) so we don’t go all out for holidays anymore. We will go out to a nice restaurant for dinner tonight and that’s it.

Hi everyone! The other day I posted a charcoal holo polish from Nail Pattern Boldness and for today’s manicure I added Bees Knees Lacquer Hide And Seek FTW on top!
Hey everyone! Today I have another Halloween type mani to share! This is from Nail Pattern Boldness. I first bought polishes from her way back in 2012. She used to be a regular poster on Makeup Alley back then (when I was just a lurker) and she was one of the first indies I bought from. She’s quietly been around since then, you don’t hear about her too often. I got an email a couple weeks ago that she was having a closeout clearance sale in her Etsy shop. She’s quitting making polish except for her base and top coats. So she’s selling grab bags of “however many fit in a flat rate padded envelope” for $25.00. Shipping is included but I had to pay a little extra in tax. What a great deal! I ended up with 12 polishes in my mystery bag and this was one of them!

Hi everyone! Today I have my first Halloween manicure to show you! I used Polish ‘M Creepin It Real from her new Halloween 2 collection from a few weeks ago with an accent nail using China Glaze Ernie Your Stripes from the first Sesame Street You Do Hue Collection from this past May.
Hi everyone! Today’s manicure is Half Orange from Emily de Molly. This is an Australian brand of indie polish but she has a US warehouse so we can get her polishes here too! The US website is HERE. I am not affiliated.
Hi everyone! Today I have a beautiful polish from What Addiction Polish to share with you. Each month Ana from What Addiction does a live Bingo game on her Instagram page (@WhatAddiction). I won Septembers game! So not only did I win this gorgeous polish but I got to name it too! What do you think of my name, Autumn Vibes? I actually wore this and took the photos when I first got the polish back in mid September.
You can find this polish among other beautiful things at WhatAddiction.com. This one retails for just $8!

Hi everyone! I was so excited and honored that I was chosen as a guest swatcher for the upcoming Polish ‘M Route 66 Collection! I would love to travel down old Route 66 and take in all the history along the way! Maybe one day I’ll get to do that but for now, I can show you this 6 piece collection that Michelle from Polish ‘M has come up with to give homage to that famous highway that spans more than half of our great country!
Important: This is a 1 time release – there will be NO re-stocks!! So don’t wait or you may miss out!
These were sent to me to swatch and give an honest review. This will be a long and picture heavy post!

Hi everyone! All good things must come to an end! I can’t believe we’ve made it through the whole year of Zodiac polishes! This is the last polish in the series. Each month Lexi brought us a polish inspired by the Zodiac sign and a glow in the dark topper to match the element of that sign. Gemini season is just starting, so today I will be showing you the new polish, The Twins, and with it comes the Air element topper.
These two polishes will only be available from May 22 through June 20, during the month that corresponds to the Zodiac. The Twins is just $8 and Air is $7.
You can check out Geekish Glitter Lacquer at her website HERE. This was sent to me to swatch and give an honest review.

Hi everyone! It’s with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes that I’m writing this post. We had to send my old man Chico to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. I knew he had terminal cancer, I knew he only had about 3 months to live starting 3 months ago, so I knew it was coming but it’s still so hard. For the last 12 years we were best buddies, inseparable, he always being my shadow. I know he’s better off, pain free, running and playing with his big sister Pepper at the bridge waiting there for me. RIP Chico ♥♥
