Hey y'all! Just a quick post announcing the name change. The blog formally known as Mama Hearts Polish is now Nadia's Nail Diary. Same unreliable posting schedule, same easy nail art and occasional swatches....
Blogger changed some stuff behind the scenes and I am not liking it. Bleh. Anyway, I mean to post this earlier in the week since I actually did these last week but my kid has been hogging my laptop for days on end. In his defense he hasn't been feeling super great so he's milking it for all he's got and getting extra computer time so he can play Roblox all day. Ok on to the nail art! I used polishes...
Happy Star Wars Day my friends! May the 4th be with you all. I won't have random nail art for a while since I actually have planned nail art this time. Today I wanted to celebrate my all time favorite movie series, Star Wars. I'm a huge fan and have been since I was a kid when my dad introduced me to the Original Trilogy.
These are all freehand stripes, and a water slide decal...
Saturday's Random Number Nails were picked by my husband, his number choices led me to Bettina Cosmetics Neptune. This is a super pretty matte indigo polish but the formula is the absolute worst. It's lumpy and dries so fast you can barely spread it on your nails. I ended up having to do very sloppy, large coats that covered all my nail surface, and then clean it up. That also ended up being...
Emily de Molly's Odd Strategy for June 2018 Polish Pickup was Friday
April 24th random number nails. I really liked how this one looked on
it's own so I decided not to do any nail art.
It's a purply gray base
with pink-blue multichrome shimmer and blue microflakies. Shown in 2
coats with topcoat, super smooth formula and a dream to apply. Kinda sad
it's taken me 2 years since...
Thursday April 23's random number nail art is brought to you by Ariana,
my daughter. Her random number selection resulted in Polish for Days You
Can Fly! with some gold stamping using MPolish Bells and MoYou London
Pro 02.
I'm gonna be honest, I was not a big fan of this polish. The flakies look amazing and shifty in the bottle but I had trouble getting the polish to look nice on my...
Yesterday's Random Number Nail Art lead me to the color green and the 6th drawer in my 2nd Helmer unit, which resulted in Ethereal Lacquer's Rainforest for June 2019 Polish Pickup. This one is very sheer so I started out with a base of 2 coats of Bettina Cosmetics Green.
Followed up by 2 coats of Ethereal's Rainforest. This one is super shifty and full of aurora/unicorn pigments. It has...
What is this?! A freaking blog post! I seriously think there's only 1 person still reading this...maybe 2, and they know who they are. Thanks. Ok so like almost everyone, I'm stuck at home due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Not that I normally go out anyway but besides the point. My son is doing virtual distance learning which consists of me sitting there next to him while he uses my desk and computer,...

Great Lakes Lacquer - Creatures of the Night Brought to Light!
Swatches are all 3 coats with no topcoat. This polish is inspired by Mommy Fortuna's...

Hey everyone! Long time no see. How's your summer going? Mine's been super busy, which is why I haven't had any posts in a while. I've painted my nails, I just haven't even photographed them, not even for IG! Le gasp. 😲 Today's review is for the new Island Collection from Soothing Soul Nail Lacquers. On to the swatches!
Actually, these all had a similar but great formula, so...
