Elemental Styles Skittles

I swatched these all over black. Wet'n'Wild's Black Creme to be exact. Actually I don't know if that is it's full name or not, so that's not exact... but close enough. You get the point.

These polishes are like duo-chromesque topcoats. I can't think of the appropriate word for them right now...

They are all from Elemental Styles, and they are all one coat with no topcoat:
Pinky - Chlorine Sheen
Ring - Co-bolt of Lightning
Middle - Easy Bro-mine!
Pointer - Iodine-ing Out


I'm curious, is anybody actually even reading this? Do you really care? Or are you just here to look at this craptastic picture, and leave a one-word comment in order to try and gain more traffic for your blog, hoping I'll comment back since you commented here? Hmm?

I've had this discussion with a fellow polish blogger friend, and we've deduced that hardly anyone actually reads blog posts anymore. Instagram is blowing up. I get 5+ new followers a day. But here, for both of us, comments and traffic have been pretty dwindling and lacking quite a bit over the past few months. Maybe because it is the end of a school year/the start of summer so a lot of people are busy? They aren't stuck inside all day due to the snow with nothing better to do than read nail blogs now? Who knows...

But, like I said, I'm curious as to who actually reads these rambles... Do me a favor. If you are actually reading this and plan on leaving a comment, include, somewhere in your comment, (I don't care where; beginning, middle or end, doesn't matter), one odd, random phrase: "ducks are not cows and therefore they are not purple, but penguins from Egypt like to eat cheese". Got it? 

Because seriously, if I am just talking to myself... Well I suppose I need a straitjacket then.

I read you! ;) Even though my comments are usually short. English is not my native language, I guess this is a reason :) ... ducks are not cows and therefore they are not purple, but penguins from Egypt like to eat cheese xD

That's totally understandable! :)
Oh, that's some lovely effect polishes - I love them all!

I do read you, too :) ducks are not cows and therefore they are not purple, but penguins from Egypt like to eat cheese. And i guess you're right about people being busy, I have to pass 5 exams this month, and i really should be studying and not reading nail blogs :D

That's probably part of it! Traffic just seems to only be half what it was 3 months go!
I'm not a fan of duochrome colors - but they look pretty on your nails of course!

And........... HAHAHA! I love it! Pigs eat mud because it helps with their digestive system (really?!). This is such a great idea, I think I'm gonna do something like this, but make it a hidden giveaway :)

I've seen people do that before. Have a hidden giveaway. Awesome idea! I want to do it sometime too! I usually don't really like duochromey polishes much either. I thought these were going to be different when I bought them from a blog sale, not topcoats.
I read every post as well :) As evidence by the fact that ducks are not cows and therefore they are not purple, but penguins from Egypt like to eat cheese. I get ll my blogs through to Blogger, so I just go down and see what's been updated and read them like that - I don't read anything on my phone, since it doesn't load properly. :)

Aww yay! Haha! Thanks for reading! :)
I rarwly comment on posts though I do read every one. Even if I had something to comment on, next week I have four finals and so I've been feeling busy an overwhelmed lately. But, I totally understand your sentiments so ducks are not cows and therefore they are not purple, but penguins from Egypt like to eat cheese. Please keep posting!!

Thanks! I'm actually not a big fan of them, but they're not bad.
these look really cool! ducks are not cows and therefore they are not purple, but penguins from Egypt like to eat cheese. i will always read your blog posts, i know you always read mine too and that makes you just just a great blogger, but a great follower and friend :)

Aww well thank you. It just was seeming like nobody really read anymore.
i feel the same way. i used to get so many comments, and now i barely get any. which i don't get because i feel by blogging has gotten better over the year, not worse. but for some reason i'm getting less comments. sometimes ill talk a lot about a topic and i feel like no one reads anything. the comments will just say like "nice nails" but if i just had a whole paragraph on how i was feeling sick i know they didn't read it.
That or someone will ask what polish you used, when you mentioned it in the post! If I'm short on time, in a rush, or behind, or something, I may skim the post rather than read it word-for-word, and I may not be able to read every day, but I try to read every post!
duochromes over black very pretty! i dont like cake, just cheesecake! and i dont care! :p btw! hi there! havent visited in a long while and missed your blog
