I'm aliveeee! With a new polish!

I've been a bad, bad blogger lately!

I'm so very sorry!  I've been so freakin' busy for the past month and a half...it's been INSANE.  I've been out of town like 4 times and have had visitors twice and two bridal showers and bachelorette parties and a wedding this Saturday and a business trip all next week! Raaahhh!  Oh and I also accepted a new job!

WOooo so a whirlwind!

I've been slowly trying to remake more of my polishes! And I've got 5 new ones, hopefully six!  I'll be re-opening my shop sometime in August.  I've got a big order to fill first and a few more out of town things to take care of, so I'll have a better idea of WHEN after all that!  So stay tuned!

I've also got some sweet reviews for you ladies that should be out this week/weekend!

BUT for now, I'll sneak preview one of my new polishes: Ces-ium The Day!

Check her out:




Three coats alone, one over For Audrey

2 coats over For Audrey






Excess amounts of pictures, sorry!  Ces-ium The Day has fine aqua, green, and blue glitters along with some ultra fine holographic shimmer!  It's meant as a layering polish and in most of the pictures above I've got it over China Glaze For Audrey, a perfect combo if I do say so myself!

This one will be for sale in limited quantities when I open shop!

Stay tuned this week for some more reviews :)

<3 you ladies, thanks for sticking by me while my life goes crazy!

Elemental Styles Limited Edition 4th of July SALE!

Don't worry ladies, I didn't forget about the giveaway :)  I'll announce the winner tomorrow!

I just wanted to post today about the polish I made for Independence Day called U.S.A-mericium!  It's named for the 95 element, Americium (Am-er-ee-see-um)!   I knew I wanted to make this polish for a while, but I just didn't have the supplies.  I also didn't want to release it with a normal collection since it's so 4th of July appropriate!

Here are some pics:

Bottle shot!

Over red, white, blue, and black! 

Over red, white, blue, and black -- it's by itself on my thumb

U.S.A-mericium!
Close up!
U.S.A-mericium is filled with fine red and blue and ultrafine silver shiny glitters!  It's also got two sizes of matte white hex glitters.  It's very fun and festive and perfect for the 4th of July!  It can be layered over other colors, the photos above show one coat of U.S.A-mericium over other colors (black is my favorite!), or it can be worn alone in 2-3 coats.  It's named after the 95th element, americium!

I am doing a limited edition sale of U.S.A-mericium TODAY, June 24, at 4:30 pm EST on my Etsy shop!!  I want to make sure you have them by the 4th to do your manis :)  This is a one-time only sale and I won't be re-stocking this anytime soon.

So stay tuned later to get your hands on one :)

P.S. I have a bunch of blog posts lined up so I can stop being a bad blogger and writing more!

Featuring Elemental Styles: Don't Radon My Parade

I'm ending out my "Hand Made for the month of May" with one of my own polishes :)

This one I swatched pictures of, so I thought I'd show it to you ladies today!

This one is Don't Radon My Parade from my Noble Gases collection:





In these pictures it looks a little less opaque than it does in person...but whatever!  I really like this polish, it's a pretty teal with a gold shimmer!  It's not considered a glitter because it's very easy to remove, hah!  Here's my description:

Don't Rad-on My Parade is a teal based polish with a fine, gold holographic shimmer that reminds me of mermaids.  She's much prettier on the nail than in these pictures--they just don't do her justice.  For full opacity 2-3 coats are needed and you'll be left with a lovely teal and gold shimmer to show off to all your rainy-day friends.  This polish is to honor my supposed doppelganger, Barbara (my co-workers are crazy), and her song from the musical Funny Girl, "Don't Rain on my Parade."  It's also named after the 86th element, radon, discovered by my dear friends Pierre and Marie Curie in 1899.

Don't Radon my Parade can normally be purchased from my Etsy shop. 

Thanks for reading, pretty ladies!  Hope you're stayin' cool--it's been in the 90s here this week!

Introducing: Elemental Styles' Noble Gases Collection!

Weee!  A new franken collection with SEVEN polishes!  I'm really excited about this one, actually!  These will be available in my shop VERY soon, but in limited quantities for now! 

I'm running super-dee-duper low on my base polish, but I've found multiple new suppliers, so hopefully I'll be able to bust out more soon!

BUT for now, check them out here:

First up: Sexual Hel-ium!

There are a ton of pictures of this one, sorry!  I initially made this one quite a while ago but needed to finish the collection before I showed everyone!  So the swatches are on my old nubbins, but there are some new pics near the end.









Sexual Hel-ium is a feisty fuchsia jelly with an array of pink and silver holographic glitters swimming throughout!  It actually goes on opaque in 2-3 coats and is not as "see through" in person as it appears in some of the pictures!  It's probably one of my favorite polishes I've made--it makes you feel fabulous and girly when you wear it!  Barbie would've killed for this polish.  Sexual Hel-ium is a shout out to Marvin Gaye's song from the 80's and is named after the lightest, squeak-iest of the noble gases, the second element, Helium!

Next up: Neon Lights!






Neon Lights is a clear polish filled with neon pink and neon yellow matte glitters.  The mixture of glitters makes it appear almost orange and looks great over an orange base!  The nail-wheel swatches show 2 coats of Neon Lights over white, over orange, and 3 coats by itself!  It's a great as a layering polish or can be worn alone.  The swatches on my nails show 2 coats of Neon Lights over 2 coats of orange, making it look fire-y and awesome!  Neon Lights is named after the 10th element: Neon!

Next: Ar-gon with the Wind




Ar-gon with the Wind is a light and airy polish with fine light blue matte glitters and various-sized white hex glitters.  The glitters are in a clear base (it's actually very, very light blue, but we'll go ahead and say clear here hah!).  Ar-gon with the Wind is meant as a layering polish and the nail wheel swatches show 2 coats over white, 2 coats over blue, and 3 coats by itself!  This polish is named appropriately for the 18th element, argon, and one of the best classic movies of all time: Gone With the Wind!  And if you don't like it, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn! :)

Next: Kryptonite!




Kryptonite is a light green polish with fine iridescent green/yellow glitters, white bar glitters, and is the ultimate weakness of Superman!  This polish, like the fictional radioactive element, glows in the dark!   This polish goes on opaque in 2-3 coats and is named after the 36th element, krypton!  The name is also a shout-out to Superman's greatest weakness--but don't worry, it's not harmful to us humans.

Next: Xenon: Warrior Princess




Xenon: Warrior Princess is another layering glitter that, after three coats, can be worn on its own!  She is a clear-based polish with matte pink, purple, and white fine glitters!  She's tough as nails and kicks butt on a nail wheel over white (2 coats), pink (1 coat), and all by herself (3 coats).   Xenon: Warrior Princess is the girlier sister of Xena and is named after the 54th element, xenon!

Next: Don't Rad-on My Parade




Don't Rad-on My Parade is a teal based polish with a fine, gold holographic shimmer that reminds me of mermaids.  She's much prettier on the nail than in these pictures--they just don't do her justice.  For full opacity 2-3 coats are needed and you'll be left with a lovely teal and gold shimmer to show off to all your rainy-day friends.  This polish is to honor my supposed doppelganger, Barbara (my co-workers are crazy), and her song from the musical Funny Girl, "Don't Rain on my Parade."  It's also named after the 86th element, radon, discovered by my dear friends Pierre and Marie Curie in 1899.

Last but not least: Ununoctium







Uunoctium (un-un-ock-tee-um), is another one of those crazy named, recently discovered elements!  Number 118 to be exact!  The polish it is named for is a bright neon peachy-pink glitter!  Ununoctium has a light neon pink jelly base with iridescent neon pink glitters and a few random iridescent flakies hidden inside.  This color goes on opaque with only a little bit of visible nail line left after 3 coats, but can also be used as a layering glitter!  It's a color that is perfect for summer and would look great with a tan!

WELLLLLLLL that's it!  Hopefully these will be up in my shop before this weekend is over!  Let me know what you ladies think :)

Shop is Open!

Hey pretties!  Just to let you know my Etsy shop is open and running!

This will be my last stocking for a few weeks, I think, I've got to re-evaluate my supplies and hope the base situation gets worked out :/

Enjoy, though!

Introducing my NEW franken collection: Actinides!

Helllllllo lovelies!  I guess my auto-posts ran out earlier this week, lol.  I've been super busy making polishes all week I haven't had time to update even though I've had a bunch of pictures ready for a while! 

BUT I'm going to show you my new collection which I JUST posted on Etsy!  SO if you like these and want them get on over to my Etsy shop because they're actually selling pretty quickly!  I've also started making MINI bottles and I'm now shipping to CANADA! 

First: Actin-ium My Age



Actin-ium My Age is a purple holographic polish with holographic silver glitter, iridescent glitter, and large and small purple glitters! It looks amazing on the nail in the sun, and provides full coverage in 2 coats (although photograph show polish with 3 coats). It's named for the 89th element: actinium!

Next: Yellow Cake




Yellow Cake is a yellow-based semi-textured polish that includes some fine yellow and white glitters! And it glows in the dark! This polish goes on opaque in 2-3 coats (photos shown with three and no top coat), and dries a little matte (I wouldn't call it a matte polish, but it's not super shiny either!). This polish is named for a form of uranium oxide nicknamed yellow cake, uranium being the 92nd element! 

 Next: King Neptunium



King Neptunium is a teal-based polish that includes fine blue, green, and teal hex glitter along with small silver holographic and large hex silver glitters! This polish goes on opaque in 3 coats (photos shown with three and no top coat). This polish is named for the 93rd element, neptunium, and is a reference to the Roman god of the sea, Neptune. Also if you're a history nerd like me you might have heard of King Neptune, the pig navy mascot used during WW2 to sell war bonds :)

Next: Plutonium's No Longer a Planet



Plutonium's No Longer a Planet (mouthful name, I know!) is a blue-based semi-textured polish that includes some fine teal and blue hex glitter along with a bit of blue bar glitter! It also glows in the dark! This polish goes on opaque in 2-3 coats (photos shown with three and no top coat), and dries a little matte (I wouldn't call it a matte polish, but it's not super shiny either!). This polish is named for the 94nd element, plutonium, and is a shout-out to our old retired planet, Pluto!

LAST and certainly NOT least: E=mc^2




E=mc^2 is a light grey based polish that includes various sizes of black and silver hex glitters! This polish goes on opaque in just 2 coats (first 3 photos show 2 coats, last one on a nail wheel shows 3 coats) and is named for the 99th element einsteinium!

Einstein is one my my favorite scientists ever and I wanted to make a cool white/grey based polish with black glitter to honor his crazy hair!

I hope you guys like my new ones I copied my descriptions directly from Etsy so I could update this real fast for all of you!  If there is a polish that you'd like that I am sold out of, shoot me an e-mail at estyles.ww@gmail.com and I'll get down to my laboratory and try and mix up some more to stock asap :)  I'd like to get an idea on how many more I need to make!

Thanks for all your support, ladies! And don't forget about my giveaway, I can't believe I'm over 600 followers now!
