Happy Hands Afternoon Thunderstorms

Sometimes I just don't feel like making words. I'm too lazy to have to type out something coherent about a polish so I'll go days without making another blog post. I'm aware of this. And I'm aware of how lazy that sounds. Sometimes I won't upload my pictures to my computer because the camera cord is too far away for me to get it. I know. I'm lazy. 

Anyways, my point is, I'm going to get better about blogging even if that just means I post a picture and a few words about the polish. I've been rambling. My brain is mush this week. I have four exams this week. Well, I've already had three of them (and it's only Tuesday!) but at least I only have one left now. That and a paper on Thursday. My birthday is this week too, the 27th, so happy birthday to me! I know my professors were just trying to make my week special by showing me how much I've learned so far this semester! Thanks, college!

The real point of this post though was to show you a polish I wore about two weeks ago (see how lazy I am!). It's by Happy Hands Polish and it's called Afternoon Thunderstorms. It's so perfectly named. It looks just like the end of the thunderstorm when the little bits of sun are starting to pop out of the clouds. I failed at getting good pictures of this so maybe I'll wear it again and take better pictures. 

I did three coats by itself and application was easy. Next time I think I might wear it layered over another grey polish to see how that looks. 

For some reason, this polish reminds me of cookie ice cream. The ones with little bits of oreo cookies in it. Mmm.

Happy Hands Ditto + China Glaze Elephant Walk

Kristi from Happy Hands Nail Polish created this wonderful polish named Ditto and it is absolutely stunning! I'm not sure if she's going to be selling it in her shop or not but since I've already taken a picture of it, I figured I would post it.

Ditto is filled with multiple shapes of black, white, and blue (stars and hearts!) matte glitters. There is also a gorgeous blue shimmer throughout the polish that really makes it stand out! Ditto was very easy to apply and I didn't have to fish around for the stars and hearts, there were plenty of them in the polish. This is one coat over China Glaze Elephant Walk.

China Glaze Elephant Walk. Let me just say, I wasn't expecting anything special from this polish. I put it in my cart during a recent Transdesign order so I could even out the cost of shipping. I thought it was just going to be a basic grey polish but I was so wrong. Elephant Walk is beautiful!
Looking at the bottle, you don't expect much but once it's on your nails, wow! It pulls slightly green once it's on your nails and there is some subtle shimmer as well. This is the only polish I purchased from the China Glaze's On Safari collection and I'm glad I did. This is 2 coats.
