Can you find my silly Chewbacca in this picture? He loves to climb trees!

Ahhh, this was taken at sunset on Grand Cayman Island 3 years ago. So relaxing. I think you really get that feeling from this picture don’t you? The water is about 85 degrees year round, it’s like a bathtub, and the sand was soooooooooo buttery smooth. I need a vacation STAT!

Here is 50% of the reason why I went to London. Ok I’m slightly exaggerating, but really, I am obsessed with it. After reading countless novels about King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn I was SOOO excited when I caught my first glimpse. I so wanted to see Anne Boleyn’s actual rooms, but alas, they were blocked off

Hello VV Peeps!

I am back from a nice mini-stay-away-from-the-internet-vacation and also a upgrading-my-site time off!

Today I’ve got the new (and old) ManGlaze colors. I decided to re-do my old swatches of these because they were so horrendous.

In case you don’t already know, ManGlaze nail polishes are all matte’s, and are some of the best ones out there. I discovered them a little over a year ago when I bought The Death Tar (now replaced by Matte Is Murder) and Fuggen Ugly. These are meant to be worn with NO top coat, and in fact are marketed more towards men, but we all know we can slap a shiny top coat on it if we want.

What makes ManGlaze unique to me is the awesomeness of the bottles. The artwork on them is unlike any other polish company out there, and it makes it extra special. It also makes them look “more masculine” but I’m not in any way put off by that.

The formula on these is most excellent. They apply evenly in just two coats. They look shiny at first but after about 30-60 seconds, they dry to a matte finish. They also dry completely very quickly, but not SO fast that you have zero time to fix any errors. Peep ‘em out!

Matte Is Murder

Matte Is Murder is their new black which replaced the now discontinued The Death Tar. This one is more matte to me than The Death Tar and a smidge less black, meaning I see a little more dark grey in it. There is a hint of shimmer to it as well.
