August 2012 - New Additions...

So, really, I have been quite bad this month. Oops. Nevermind, the rest of you can live vicariously through my lack of impulse control. :P
First up are my very first HARE polishes! I was lucky enough to catch a flash sale on her etsy,  which resulted in Dog Day Dream and Why So Igneous? making their way into my grabby little hands. :D
 
 
See how pretty they are? The shiny beautiful polishes? Mmmmm. <3 I've only worn DDD so far, but I've painted both Katti (the flamingo queen) & Jade (the wife) with Why So Igneous? this week! :D

A dog, a hare, a dream and some purple jelly...


I am so bad with updating my blog. Weep. I almost always take pictures of my manicures, but writing them up and actually posting seems to take me forever! Anyway, the most recent polish I have fallen in love with (and therefore jumped my own post queue with) is this little gem, Dog Day Dream by HARE polish.

Look how sparkly it is! So much depth! So pretty! Also, so easy to apply; the formula is fantastic, not too thick, not too thin, smooth and almost full coverage in two coats. The picture above is two coats of Dog Day Dream over two coats of OPI's Houston We Have A Purple (a plum-purple jelly, seen in the bottle I'm holding there).

DDD is so sparkly in real life. Not an immediately flashy, "OI I'M GLITTERY", just a lovely continuous shimmer of light, no matter how you angle your nails. The bottle is quite mesmerizing as well, one of those ones you keep tipping and staring at with an expression of vacant joy while the glitter moves. Or is that only me? :P

I was extra excited because this (and Why So Igneous?) are my first HARE polishes, I managed to snag them on a recent flash restock on etsy. I really hadn't expected to be able to get hold of them for ages yet, but apparently luck was on my side, and here they are! The brand is wonderful; the bottles are adorable too, they have little bunny stickers on (bottle shots to come in the next haul post). In fact, I loved these two so much that I ordered The Sky Was Pink from llarowe yesterday, haha. I can't recommend them enough, so if you're thinking about taking the HARE plunge, go for it! :)
