Different Dimension "Luck & Leprechauns"

Happy Saint Patrick's Day, loves!  Really slipping this one under the wire...  But you know how it is!  I could never resist a good festive polish, and this one is very special indeed.  Wearing it, I can just feel the leprechaun formations soaring over the violently-violet World Cup Stadium, little lanterns aglow, a shower of gold raining down over the Irish supporters, the arc of a rainbow bowing up towards the star-studded sky, the great shimmering shamrock rising over Ireland's end...  We're talking Quidditch now, in case you weren't following :)  March always lures my imaginings and daydreams to the British Isles, and I think I can feel a Harry Potter audiobook binge-listen coming on...

(Queue Ludo Bagman's voice:) "And with that, I GIVE YOU... DIFFERENT DIMENSION!"

Okay, so it's not quite so snappy as "I GIVE YOU... POTTER!", but I'd bet that any nail addict out there gets the same rousting rush of exhilaration all the same.  Tee hee.

Different Dimension "Ready, Set, Snow"

Well hi, snow angels!!  I wasn't actually sure if we would have a white Christmas here in western Montana, and was feeling a little blue about it... but then, low and behold, come Christmas Eve a light, sparkling snow began to fall, and by Christmas morning everything was blanketed in winter white.

We usually do have snow, and the mountains are always snow-capped in winter, but down in the valley we are a bit more susceptible to warm spells traveling inland from the Pacific.  It comes and goes, so snow is always a precious presence for me.  We had been bereft for several weeks, but then last Thursday afternoon, a few hours after my dear grandma passed, a few magic flurries breezed through.  While the forecast had already predicted some snow for the day, I liked to think that Grandma Marilyn was fluttering her new wings, and shaking down some snowflakes for me.  In memory and celebration, I painted on this shimming snow polish, and watched the snowy sky dance.

Different Dimension "Christmas At Tiffany's"

Hello, dahling!  So charming of you to drop by.  If you'll believe it, Fred dear, I only watched "Breakfast At Tiffany's" for the first time a few weeks ago.  I'm not generally one for old movies, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it and how often it made me laugh.  Okay so yes, Holly Golightly is a little aggravating, and the macho 60's rendition of romance a little alarming (no, Holly, I will NOT unhand you in the public library, and yes, I WILL physically shake you until you are agreeable), but that and the creepy Doc character aside, it was quite lovely!  ;)

If I were to pick my favorite part of the film, it would be this polish!  Probably that technically shouldn't count, but hey, my blog, my rules, so "Christmas At Tiffany's" it is.  It's the second of my Different Dimension holiday collection polishes that I've worn so far, the first being "No One Elsa But You" as reviewed here, and wow, Missi is really taking it away with these gorgeously frosted, festive lacquers.

Different Dimension "No One Elsa But You" {Frozen: Day 5}

Happy Tuesday, Twinklings!!  Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to be a snow fairy.  I looovvve snow, but it is a precious, ephemeral, and oh so fragile phenomenon that is here one day and possibly gone the next, so the idea of being able to make it everywhere I go (or fly!) is so divine!  Watching Frozen for the first time was like seeing my wildest dreams play out before me, and there is no question: if I could be any Disney lady, it would absolutely be Elsa. 

Today's Frozen-inspired lacquer comes to us from Different Dimension, lovingly made by the incomparable Missi out of Ohio!  Missi makes all kinds of delightful pop-culture, "out of this world" nail polish (if you love astronomy, you need to take a peek at the stuff she's been making lately), but as we know, there was no help for me when she released "No One Elsa But You" as part of her holiday collection for this year.  I can almost see the snowflakes forming as I twirl my liquid ice-plated nails about...  ❄

Different Dimension : "Ghostbusters" Halloween 2014 swatches

Boo!!  Are you getting excited for Halloween yet??!  Today's polish is more glitzy than ghoulish, but it still fits the bill for the season and occasion.  It's my first time wearing Different Dimension, an indie that I have been drooling after since 2012, and I have FALL-en in love!  Teehee,  the punniness :)
