May The Fourth Be With You! Previous Star Wars Manicures

May the Fourth Be With You!! Today is May 4th, also known as Star Wars Day to those fans, and my grand plan to share a Star Wars themed polish with you every day (well, probably not weekends, let's be real) for the next month. To kick off a month of Star Wars polishes, I decided to start with a round up of previous Star Wars manicures and polishes I have done on the blog prior to this!

Let's start at the very beginning... in a Galaxy Far, Far Away (by Amy's Nail Boutique):

Then we have this gorgeous blue, representing first Anakin's and then Luke's Lightsaber by Harlow & Co:

Then we have this gorgeous thermal from Liquid Sky Lacquer, representing the Rebel Alliance:

Last year I did a manicure for May 4th using a variety of Star Wars themed polishe; Lacquerlicious Path to the Dark Side, with accent nails using Glisten & Glow Saber This! and Different Dimension Saber That:

For the newest movie, I did a manicure for The Force Awakens, using Covergirl Nemesis and Level Up Lacquer BB-8:

For Valentine's Day this year I focused on my favorite couple and OTP, Han and Leia, using a duo from Dollish Polish, I Love You and I Know:

 So there you have it! All the Star Wars themed polishes I have used to date! Starting tomorrow and running through June 4th (which is my birthday, so I happen to think there's some nice symmetry there) I will have new Star Wars themed polishes from a variety of brands to share with you. I hope enjoy! (And even if you don't enjoy the movies or *gasp* haven't watched them you can at least enjoy some pretty polishes, right?)

May the Fourth Be With You Manicure!

Hey all! Today is May 4th, or in the pop culture lexicon: Star Wars Day! Star Wars is the second fandom I ever got into and I am still huge fan. When the newest teaser trailer for The Force Awakens was released, I spent all weekend watching it on loop. SO EXCITED!! Am I the only one thinking it would be cool if a polish brand decided to make a line of polishes based on the movie?!

Ahem, anyway.

When the pictures started coming out for the May edition of A Box, Indied and I found out that it had a Star Wars theme, I knew I had to have it. And luckily, I did manage to snag one! I will have a review up later, but I did used a couple of the polishes from the box for my manicure. I've been steadily collecting Star Wars themed polishes from various indie makers and trawled my stash to pick the perfect polishes! I settled on Lacquerlicious Path to the Dark Side, Glisten & Glow Saber This! and Different Dimension Saber That.

Path to the Dark Side is a glitter bomb with a dark blackened base with various silver, blue, and copper glitters of various sizes. I layered one coat of A England Camelot. Then, on one accent nail I used Saber This! which is shimmery blue glow in the dark polish with flakies, representing Luke's (and Obi-Wan's) light saber from the first two movies and on my other hand I used Saber That, which is a shimmery green representing Yoda's green light saber (Luke also had a green light saber in Return of the Jedi).

On my left hand, I used Glisten & Glow Saber This! as an accent nail. 

On my right hand (man, it sure is difficult to photograph your Cinderella hand), I used Different Dimension Saber That as an accent:

I had completely forgotten that Saber This and Saber That were glow in the dark so last night, when I turned off the lights and they started glowing, I was like a little kid. I even turned the light back on to charge them, haha. Now I can admire my nails in the dark! I love how this manicure turned out, with the two light saber colors standing out against the black of the Dark Side. Perfection! Glow in the dark for the two light saber polishes was definitely the right choice-- I love how they glow.

Hope everyone had a good Monday! Did you do anything to celebrate May 4th? Or any pop culture "holidays" throughout the year?
