Julep Ciara, which I may have mistakenly spent weeks calling Clara, came as part of my October Maven box.

Purple Manis for Jaycie

Along with my best friend Sarah, I run a FaceBook group for East Coast polish lovers.  One of our lovely ladies has had a rough time lately.  Her young daughter had a scooter accident and has been in the hospital over a week, mostly in ICU.  We wanted to show our support for Sharon's daughter and thus, #ManisforJaycie was born. 

We all used purple.  I went with Pahlish Pink Roses and Red Valentine Lace, A Rhyming Dictionary Magic Muffins, and Rainbow Honey Dusty Bot.

Falling For Holos

Today I have a tape mani done with holos!  The inspiration behind this mani is my outfit; khaki pants, and a purple shirt.  

From the Beginning

Urban Lacquer is an indie brand that I fell in love with while browsing Etsy one day.  Among my first purchase was this polish, Ab Initio, which means "from the beginning" in Latin.

Indie Week: Holo-rific!

Today's mani has two delicious components to it.  Purple and HOLO!!!  I avoided holos for a very long time because I just didn't see the appeal.  Then I started with the old OPI DS polishes and it was all downhill from there.

Today I have a gorgeous holo from Amy's Nail Boutique, Purple Prism.  I love the color but I wanted something a bit dark.  I decided to start with a nice vampy purple, OPI Vant to Bite my Neck?. 

Violet With Julep and Rainbow Honey

I have loved nail polish since I was very young.  In the last year this love has grown immensely, and this blog is the result.  My goal is to show you beautiful polish and real manicures, even when they look awful.  Thanks for joining me!

Today's mani is the final one in a challenge I did with my good friend Alyson of Beads. Nails. Food..  We have been doing a rainbow challenge, working our way through the colors of the rainbow.  The final color is violet.  

I started with my naked nails.
