Erin Condren Planner inspired floral print

If you read my recent "year in review" post, you'll know that I'm looking to make Wondrously Polished into a more well-rounded blog that can become a resource for people looking to expand their nail art prowess. 

One of my biggest problems when it comes to my blog is keeping organized. I'm usually scribbling notes and lists on random pieces of paper that ultimately get lost in the hot mess that is my purse. So, I decided to remedy that issue and purchase my very own Erin Condren Planner! Now, for those who don't know, these are sort of the Rolls Royce of planners and are definitely pricey (they start at $50)...but, you get so much bang for your buck with these. They are customized with your name (or whatever you want!) and include motivational quote, pretty graphics, and spot on organization. Needless to say, I'm super excited for it...and I had to paint the cover image on my nails to celebrate ;) 

Ugh, commenting system changes...

Nothing to Disclose

So, commenting systems on the blogger platform are terrible. I do not understand what the folks over at blogger are thinking when it comes to the in-house commenting system. Unless you want to receive an email for EVERY comment made on a post, there is not way to be informed that I (or another reader) have responded to your comment. 

Because of this, I made the switch many months ago to the Disqus platform in hopes of creating more dialogue with my readers and so you all know that I do in fact read and (usually) respond to your comments. But, and this is a big but, I constantly hear problems from other bloggers and readers about how they can't comment on my blog because I have Disqus. It's frustrating and I definitely don't want to alienate any of my current or potential readers. 

Renaissance Custom Lacquers - Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Hello, everyone! I've got some swatches of some new polishes from Renaissance Custom Lacquers to share with you today. Meghan (of Will Paint Nails for Food) sent them all the way from Canada for me to try out and I'm pleasantly surprised by these. The first 5 polishes are from the Shimmer collection and are part of an open-ended grouping, meaning that Meghan and Laura plan on adding more polishes to this collection at a later date. I think they are some great staple colors with a little extra pizzazz and I'm curious to hear what you all think of them. So let's dig in :) 

Lion King Sunrise

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Friday, everyone! I've got a really quick post for you as I finished these right as I was running out the door...to go see the Lion King Musical! I know, that doesn't seem like a cartoon would translate well to theatre, but it's amazing! I saw it probably ten years ago now and it was absolutely amazing! I'm so thrilled to be seeing it again and I knew I had to do some nail art to get in the mood for it.
