Polish Addict Nail Color Frost Bite

Sun

Hey all!  I'm kinda in shock that this is my 350th post.  Sometimes I'm amazed I've stuck with this that long.  Today I have on Polish Addict Nail Color Frost Bite with an accent of Lavender Frost.  I'm actually currently wearing this mani since it was what I decided to wear on my nails for family pictures today.  Frost Bite went on in two super easy coats.  Seriously guys this formula is awesome.  I decided to layer 2 coats of Lavender Frost over an old mini Sephora polish, Don't Look Back, because I didn't want to wait a long time for several layers of glitter to dry.

I'm so in love with this combo that I didn't even paint my nails tonight like I had planned.  I was going to do something fun for my son's bday party tomorrow but I'm just going to keep wearing this.  I hope you all have a great weekend.

Cult Nails Princess

Good morning!  Today is a quickie post featuring Cult Nails Princess with an accent of Rainbow Honey 20% Cooler.  Princess applied well.  It took two coats to be opaque and even.  It was overcast the day I wore this mani so no sun photos for you sadly.

The quality of both these polishes was good but together they didn't wow me.  Oh well!  Can't win them all.  I'm trying to get some posts scheduled for you guys but I am working so much for about the next week and won't even have time to paint my nails.  So it may be a little quieter than normal here.

Until next time...

Lacquerhead Polish Full Tealt

Hey all!  Tonight I have a polish to show you that I lusted after forever.  I was fortunate enough to be the winner of a giveaway that Lacquerhead was having so I got to pick two polishes from her shop.  I knew right away that I had to have this one.  I decided to layer Full Tealt over China Glaze Exotic Encounters because I have the hardest time making these jelly with glitter polishes look even.  So this is two coats of Full Tealt.  The formula is good.  The big glitters came out super easy, no fishing around required.  All of the photos today were taken in the shade.  The sun pictures were all super terrible.  The sun reflecting of those large holo glitters made my camera freak out.

Lacquerhead has long been one of my absolute favorite indies.  I own quite a few and they have all been awesome.  You can find her shop here if you'd like to take a look.

Have a great night (or day)!

Oh the Sparkles!

Good morning!  Let me start with a warning.  This post has a lot of pictures.  These two polishes just screamed for lots of photos.  Normally I stay away from launch/re-stock madness with just about every brand.  When I saw the pictures of a new to me brand, Joss Nail Lacquer, I knew without a doubt I had to have In a Mermaid's Dream and In a Violet Haze.  It took me both launches but I managed to snag them both when they were put on Llarowe's site.

These polishes were both super easy to work with.  I really wanted to wear them individually but I couldn't pick one so I put them both on.  This is two coats of each polish with topcoat.

Just love these!  I hope you all have a great day.

KBShimmer Teal Another Tail

Sun

Hi everyone!  Today I have one of my absolute favorite polishes in a long, long time.  This gorgeous polish is KBShimmer Teal Another Tail.  I knew when I saw the first pictures of this that I had to have it.  I just knew that this was perfect for me.  Before I could buy it, a lovely friend that I've gotten to know through some nail groups on facebook, sent it to me.  I'm eternally grateful for this.  When I put this on I was just amazed.  It's my perfect polish!  This is three coats and topcoat.

Seriously my pictures don't really show the amazingness of this polish.  I don't even have words for how much I loved this one.  Are you a KBShimmer fan?  I have a few besides this one that are pretty nice.  What is your favorite KBShimmer polish?

I hope you all have a fantastic day!  Until next time...

China Glaze So Blue Without You

Hey all!  Tonight for your viewing pleasure I have China Glaze So Blue Without You, from the new holiday collection, with an accent nail of Polish Addict Nail Color Rainbow Concrete.  This seemed like an unlikely pair just looking at the bottles but I decided to go for it.  The blue glitters in Rainbow Concrete were a great match to the blue polish.  So Blue Without You was perfect in two coats.  I love foils so much.  They are so easy to use and super opaque.  RC was also good to go in two coats.  You know how some crelly polishes with glitter can be a bit sheer?  This one is not at all.

Sorry I don't have a good sun picture for you.  It was weirdly cloudy when I took these pictures.  I hope you're all having a great evening.

Until next time...

LynBDesigns Blue Moonstone

Hi Everyone!  I have a quickie post tonight of a mani that I was so in love with.  This is LynBDesigns Blue Moonstone with a small accent of LynBDesigns All Holo's Eve.  I'm having a bad blogger moment and I can't remember if this is two or three coats of Blue Moonstone.  I do remember that the formula was smooth and easy to apply.  I had very minimal clean up with this polish.  I bought some cool french tip guides from Born Pretty Store.  They have a few different shapes that give different looks than the typical french tip guide.  All of today's pictures were taken in full sunlight.

I hope you all have a fabulous night.  Until next time...

*I bought these polishes myself.  I stalked the LynBDesigns facebook page for a sale then jumped all over these two.*

Femme Fatale Cosmetics Review

Press Sample

Hello!  Today I have four polishes from Femme Fatale Cosmetics.  This is my very first experience with this Australian indie so I'm super excited to do this review.  Up first we have Spring Fling.  This is probably best described as a crelly with glitter.  Initially I tried it by itself but after three coats I had a bit of vnl and wasn't completely happy with how it looked.  Since I had a mini bottle of Spring Fling I decided to layer two coats over Zoya Neely.  There is lots of glitter in this polish, no fishing or placing necessary.

Next up is Suspended Starlight over Zoya Ibiza.  Let me start by saying that I'm not convinced I picked the best layering combo for this polish.  The shade picture shows off the glitter a lot better but this polish in person was so much prettier than my picture shows.  There are stars and moons in this polish.  I only got one of each though.  Again there was great glitter payoff and for so much glitter the formula is really smooth and easy to apply.

My third polish is Mercury Rain.  This polish has a clear base with holo sparkles and black and grey dots and hexes.  I layered this over Zoya Suri.  This polish was so sparkly that when we were loading up the car my boss noticed it and asked what was on my nails.

Shade

Finally I have Dreamer's Potion layered over Sation Dating the Duke.  Just like all of the above polishes the glitter applied evenly and was pretty smooth with just one coat of topcoat.

Shade

I am super impressed by the quality of these polishes.  They all had plenty of glitter.  There was no fishing around for the stars or moons in the polishes that had them.  This makes me excited to get my hands on some more Femme Fatale polishes.  I received these for review from Femme Fatale.  They are based in Australia but do have international shipping.  Click here to check out their website and here to give them a like on facebook.  I hope you liked this glitter packed post today.  Have a great one!

Until next time...

Dupe Alert!

Sun

Hey guys!  When I saw the pictures of Zoya's winter collection I immediately wondered if Dream was a dupe for LA Girls Brilliant Blue.  I already owned Brilliant Blue so when I read somewhere that Dream was not a dupe I picked it up at Ulta.  Oh boy was I disappointed when I got the bottles next to each other.  Now as all good polish addicts know bottles can be deceiving.  So I tried them out on my nails.  In all my pictures Zoya Dream is on my middle and pinky finger.  LA Girls is on my first and ring finger.  I used two coats and topcoat for each polish.

When I'm checking out dupes I always ask Mr. MLiP for his opinion.  He used to do photography for an art gallery so he spent a ton of time color correcting paintings in photoshop.  He's really good at picking out even small differences.  He couldn't tell these apart at all.  So I will have to find a new home for my LA Girls since I love how my Zoya's all line up together in the helmer.  I hope this helps someone out.

Until next time...

Different Dimension Good Evening Clarice

Sun

So I know Halloween was a few days ago but I really wanted to show you guys the super cool mani I actually wore that day.  This beauty is two coats of Different Dimension Good Evening Clarice layered over Zoya Neely.  GEC is a minty green with a super subtle holo.  Since it was a bit sheer I layered it to give it a bit of a color bump.  GEC is glow in the dark too!  My accent nail is Orly Old School Orange, a rubber finish, with China Glaze Goulish Glow layered on top.  I couldn't handle one nail on each hand not glowing haha.  Then since Mr. MLiP said my green and orange mani wasn't Halloween enough I stamped on a spider from my Mash plates.

Shade

I thoroughly enjoyed wearing this mani.  The glow in the dark was so much fun to torment Mr. MLiP with.  Although karma payback for sticking my fingers in his face was the next night I scared myself when I turned out the light and itched my eye.  It was weird to have something glowing by my eye.  I hope you all had an awesome Halloween.  We had lots of fun trick or treating with my boys.

Talk with you soon,

SinfulColors Leather Luxe Review

Press Sample

Hi Everyone!  Tonight I have my review of two polishes from the SinfulColors Leather Luxe collection.  This collection is made up of seven gorgeous matte polishes.  First up is Laced Up, a beautiful orange.  This is two coats and the formula was so easy to apply.  Dry time was super fast on this one.

Shade

Next up is Strapped.  SC describes this as seafoam green but I think it's darker than that.  Either way it's really pretty and again had an awesome formula.  This is two coats as well.

Sun

Shade

I have to say that for $1.99 polishes these are fantastic.  I'm so impressed my how easy to use they were.  Formula and application were way above par.  These polishes can be found at Walgreens.  I already went out and bought the black one, Whipped.  Everyone should own a good quality matte black.  Click here to go to SinfulColors facebook page.  Give them a like so you can keep on top of new releases and promos.

Until next time my lovely readers...
