Generic Halloween Nails

Hi everyone!  I have a super generic Halloween mani that I wore last week.  This is Julep Cleopatra, a wax finish black, and Julie G Tangerine Dream, an orange texture finish.  The formula on Cleopatra was actually really good.  I had been expecting a pain after reading some blogs but mine was even in two coats.   Tangerine Dream took three coats to not have VNL.

This was my first time wearing a texture polish on a full nail and I have to say it weirds me out.  I can't stop touching it.  Both polishes wore really well.  I was surprised by how well.  I hope you all have a fabulous Halloween.  If work tomorrow doesn't ruin my current mani, I'll be sure to show it to you even if it's after the holiday.

Until next time...

SinfulColors Crystal Crush Review

Press Sample

Sun

Hello!  Tonight I have two polishes from the new SinfulColors Crystal Crush line.  These are super pretty texture polishes.  First up I have Treasure Chest, a gorgeous sea foamy color with golden shimmer.  This is two coats.  I don't have a lot of experience with textures but this one was super easy to use and it dried crazy fast.  Since I was going to be wearing this for a few days I wanted to add an accent nail with some interest.  I used Purple Gleam, the other color I received for review, and then used Treasure Chest to make some dots.

Next up I have Purple Gleam.  It has some super pretty sparkles in it as well.  Again the formula was great, two coats and quick dry time.

Sun.  See the sparkle on my pointer?

I have to say that for my first full texture manis I really enjoyed wearing these.  It helped that I loved the colors so much.  The Crystal Crush collection retails for $2.99 and according to the press release is a Walgreens exclusive but I know some of my online polish buddies are finding them at Rite Aid as well.  There are 8 colors in this collection.  I'm definitely going to hunt down some more.  You can find SinfulColors on facebook here.  Are you a texture polish fan or are you just waiting for the trend to pass?  Let me know your favorite texture maker so I can check them out.

Until next time...

GeeWhiz Sunburnt

Press Sample

Good evening my lovely readers!  Tonight I have a brand new to me indie, GeeWhiz.  I met Jessi, the lady behind the brand, through a facebook group that we are both in.  She has been selling solvent resistant glitter mixes for the last year and is now jumping into the polish making side of things.  This lovely polish is Sunburnt, a clear base with fine red glitter, small blue and silver glitter, larger turquoise glitter and white squares.  As I've had skin cancer (non melanoma) this is as close to sunburnt as I'm allowed to get.  I've layered one coat over Barielle Magna Cum Laude Turquoise and Lemondrops.  I can not believe the glitter payoff in just one coat.  It spread on the nail evenly.  I did not have to fish for the larger glitter pieces.  

Honestly I'm pretty impressed by my first experience with GeeWhiz.  I do want to mention that the base has a different smell to it than I'm used to.  Jessi did mention it to me ahead of time and is looking to change the base she uses.  Considering how easy this polish was to apply I'm really not bothered by it.  There are also a lot of neat glitter mixes in the shop.  Jessi sent one over to me but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet.  I'll post up a review as soon as I do.  You guys should definitely click here to follow GeeWhiz on facebook.  That way you can stay on top of any flash sales or coupon codes.  You can also click here to check out the GeeWhiz etsy shop.  Now here's the best part.  I have a coupon code just for my readers.  You can use the code MYLIFEINPOLISH15OFF to save 15%.  I really want to pick up Tide Pool.  If you pick up a polish or three stop by my facebook page and show them off.

Have a great night!

Elevation Polish Echinops

Hi everyone!  Tonight I have a gorgeous purple holo to show you.  This is Elevation Polish Echinops with an accent of Dzhangi-Tau.  Echinops has the most amazing, even formula.  This is two coats plus topcoat.  The accent polish is from a recent LE duo from Elevation.  

I'm pretty sure I've never met an Elevation that I don't like.  Her polishes are consistently great quality.  When I purchase an Elevation I know I'm getting a wonderful polish.  I hope you all enjoyed tonights mani.  Have a great tomorrow!
