Nail Mail Monday!
Another haul post! Really I promise I am slowing down (maybe) in buying of polishes! But all these great etsy shops restocked and I had to get my dream polishes! :)
First up are these amazing glitters from Sonoma Nail Art: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Clockwork. I had to get these not only because they are gorgeous but also because they are Steampunk related! Yes! Thank you thank you thank you for making such awesome themed polishes! :)
Macro bottle shot of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (as stated on her etsy shop) "takes inspiration from Jules Verne and the imaginative adventures of Captain Nemo in the cold deep. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a glitter polish with blue, green, and white shades". The polish is really stunning and the micro glitters reminds me of bubbles under the sea! :)
Macro bottle shot of Clockwork. Clockwork (as stated on her etsy shop) "takes inspiration from the fantastical gears and cogs of steampunk machinery. Clockwork is a glitter polish with multiple metallic shades". This glitter is perfectly named and is jaw-dropping gorgeous!
She also sent with the polishes a paper that gives you tips and tricks for glitter polishes and on the back of that is a step by step guide to the foil method to remove glitter polishes! What a brilliant idea! :)
I can't wait to show you these two polishes during my TGIF: Thank Goodness, Indie Friday segment. :) And don't forget to visit her Sonoma Nail Art's etsy shop here and her facebook site here.
What we have here is a gorgeous mini from Pretty & Polished called Hustle. Great things really do come in small packages! :) This little guy wasn't on my list to buy but then I saw him and fell in love! It has small green, copper, and silver hex glitter with larger silver and teal hex glitters. This also has silver bar glitter. Brown and green together in a glitter! My two favorite colors! Could it get any better! :)
Don't forget to check out Pretty & Polished's etsy shop here and her facebook page here.

What is one of my haul posts without a grey!? :) This I got in a swap from a fellow polish lover in a facebook group. She was looking for a polish which I happen to have and was willing to swap for. So I got my first American Apparel polish in Factory Grey. It's inspiration is based on their floors in their factory. It's grey/purple creme and I lurve it a lot! :)
Now these aren't nail mail but ones that I picked up in person. (l-r): OPI Houston We Have a Purple (absolutely love this name! Brilliant!), China Glaze Lemon Fizz, and China Glaze Electric Beat.
Have any of you bought any excellent polishes lately?

Pretty and Polished Reviews
I got the privilege of review two polishes from Chelsea's etsy shop Pretty and Polished. These polishes are my first ever Indies to try! And let me say, if other Indies are as good as these, then watch out! These polishes are amazing! Lots of photos!
This first polish is called Galactus. It is a gorgeous bright purple holo. The color is a little hard to capture on camera, shows bluer than it really is. The picture above is one coat! One coat! The formula is amazing and handles like a dream!
Check out the holo-goodness! In the sun it looks a lot like it's true color. This is two coats.
This is two coats in artificial light to show more of it's true color. This still isn't the exact color but closer. (I really wish I had a light box!) I love this polish, very bright, smooth, and holo!
This is Hemi-Sphere. Wow. A gorgeous shimmer green! Love! It looks to have a little gold shimmer in it too! This is one coat. It is more sheer than Galactus. But it depends on how much you have on your brush as you can see my ring finger is more sheer than my middle finger.
This is two coats. Much deeper and even more gorgeous! This formula was just as awesome! But look at this color!
This code expires March 20, 2012 (one month from today). Chelsea told me that she will be completely restocked after midnight Thursday morning!
