This is two coats of Hare Heffalumps.

 Heffalumps are from Winnie the Pooh, of course (kind of like elephants), and I adore the Pooh reference here.  I love Winnie the Pooh and everything about it!

 The base is a beautiful fuchsia sort of jelly color and swimming inside are large hexes of blue, silver, and pink (I think).

 I'm not going to sugar coat this, Nation.  Application was a total bear.  The glitters kept bunching up and it was hard to control the spread of the jelly, if you get what I mean.  I needed three thick coats of top coat, as well, and even still, it wasn't totally smooth after it dried completely (it looks perfectly smooth in these pictures because they were taken right after I painted my nails).

It's so stinking gorgeous, though!  I love it!  Well worth the pain.  If you want to learn more about Hare polish, go to Nikole's tumblr here.

 Here's my second time using Hare polish.  I'm wearing three coats of Pegasus.

 It's a really lovely, milky, perfectly smooth pastel lilac with whitish-pinkish looking hexes in different sizes.

 I really love how the hexes get sort of submerged in the milky polish and are seen at different depths.

 It's so whimsical and just really, really dreamy!

Very sadly, as seems to be the case lately, this did not last long enough on me.  I had major chipping and peeling in less than a day.  I'm still enchanted by this polish, though, and would certainly try it again with perhaps a different combination of base and top coats.  For more info on Hare polish, click here.

 I apologize that these pictures aren't so great.  But it's my first Hare mani!!!  :)

 This is two coats of bio-exorcist over one coat of Diamond Cosmetics Plum Pie in the Sky.

 As always, the mani is actually more purple overall and less blue in real life.

 I ended up using a coat of Glitter Tamer, a coat of Seche Vite, and then a last coat of Barielle Manicure Extender over top of everything.  A bit much, it's true.

 Everything is smooth and lovely, though!

I recently bought eight of the polishes offered by Hare and am super excited to be trying them in the future.  Availability is a little "hairy" at the moment, it looks, but you can find out more on Nikole's lovely site here.
