Nail Polish I Wore In Real Life Vol. 6

It's that time again, more nail polishes I actually wore in real life! I have been slacking on the manis lately :( Stress and zero time equal no time for an actual manicure. I definitely need to pick it up!

Essie Where's My Chauffeur? came out back in the Winter 2012 collection, but I just barely acquired it from my local Marshalls. I had wanted it back when it first came on the scene but for some reason I didn't get any of that collection. It's a fabulous mid-tone turquoise crème with a great formula, which is always reason to celebrate when it comes to Essie. ;) Two coats.

HARE Polish Washed Ashore came out in the Late Summer 2013 Tropics Are Calling collection. I bought this and three other polishes from that collection, one I blogged about here. This is a soft pink crelly with pearly grey, white and icy blue glitter in hex and square shapes along with shimmer. I also spy some of those iridescent glitters that appear yellowy until they lay on top of another color then look kinda reflect-y purple & blue. Le sigh, how gorgeous is that?? Three coats for full opacity.

Ugh, I cannot believe I haven't worn this until now! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! No really, with all the days that I have gone without wearing anything on my nails, it's really sad to think about all my poor neglected untrieds waiting for me to deign to put them on my tips. I should be ashamed.

Essie polishes can be purchased in most drugstores like CVS, Rite Aid, etc. along with Ulta. Like I mentioned, I found this in Marshalls so I don't know if this shade is readily available or not. HARE polish is sold on their Etsy site, but sadly Washed Ashore is not available for purchase right now. She sometimes brings shades out of retirement though, so keep your eyes peeled! Love ya, talk more soon :)

HARE polish - Dancing Bird of Paradise

Hi everyone! I am happy to show you a beautiful polish from one of my favorite indie brands, HARE polish. It's from their late summer 2013 collection The Tropics are Calling. It's called Dancing Bird of Paradise. I was bowled over by the swatches my friend Valesha from PeachyPolish.com did of this lacquer and I purchased it immediately after seeing them.

The polish has a bright juicy cherry pinky red jelly base with a blend of various shapes/sizes of neon pink, satin white, gold glitter, and flaky gold shimmer. Wooo it is so hot and fun! I am addicted to bright jellies and the glitter mix in this one just blows it out of the water for me. I used two coats and it turned out pretty opaque for a jelly. The glitter was easy to spread on the nail and it didn't clump up like heavy glitters often do.

I have three other polishes from the Tropics collection that I haven't tried yet but I am excited to try. I can't say there is one polish HARE has created that I haven't wanted! You can buy HARE polish for about $10 each from their Etsy store, or from their stockists Llarowe and Femme Fatale Cosmetics. Also, be sure to follow their blog for news about upcoming collections and restocks. What do you think of this beauty?
