The Blogging Year Recap

2016 is over. Wow. When I flip back through pages of blog posts, it feels like so little time has gone by. In fact, 2009 feels a lot like yesterday. (Well things were full of change and hope back then).

I'm still enjoying blogging, and that's key. I hope you are enjoying the polishes with me.

There are many changes in blogging and I don't think social media blogging has eradicated bloggers like me, yet. Yet. The challenges for me is time and accessibility. Instagram is very phone-centric, so I hope the new Sony A6000 will be up for that challenge.

I'm off the SinfulColors mailing list, much to my relief, and I don't have anyone offering me polish. Yay! So while I am not super timely with new things, my reviews will be my own. It's hard to be objective when you have free stuff arriving in the mail, despite disclosures and disclaimers.

This year I plan on trotting out a heck of a lot more indies and more stamping. I have to say I love both and with a better camera it's only my skillset that won't do right by it.

Finally, here are a few of my faves from 2016, enjoy!

FUN Lacquer Anna

F.U.N. Lacquer: Fabulous Unique Nail Lacquer is one of my favorite indies.

I wanted to share one with you that I love.

F.U.N. Lacquer Anna

Two coats.

Lovely cornflower blue with a dash of pink shimmer.

Impactful holo, too.

No top coat, but I used my CND Vinylux top coat and had excellent wear. 

These blue/pink shades are just my weakness. They are also very popular now and more brands are putting out these types of shade and it's just full of win for people.

Just could not take a bad photo of this polish. Super wow.

I have a soft spot for F.U.N. Lacquer, and suggest you check it out. 

I buy mine at FUNLacquer's website directly as well as some other sellers such as LiveLovePolish. There are other stockists as well, for other locations. Because they are located in Singapore it can add shipping and taxes, but it's not prohibitive.

Meanwhile...love it!

Thanks for reading my little nail polish journal!
