Hit Polish Nail Lacquer Sunset Over Sedona

Shade

Hi everyone!  Today I have a polish that I would have purchased for the name alone but ended up being a gorgeous polish too.  Mr. MLiP took me hiking in Sedona in the rain, many, many years ago and proposed.  Best hiking trip ever!  So when I saw Hit Polish was going to release a polish named Sunset Over Sedona I had to have it.  I decided to layer this over black because I really wanted to see the burgundy shimmer pop out.  The glitter combo just screams sunset over the Red Rocks.  This is two coats of Sunset Over Sedona over a black cream with topcoat.  Just like always the formula was perfect.

 I really love this polish!  I actually am still wearing it as I type this.  I may have to pick up a full size of this one.  I've got some other layering combos in mind to try out.  It just makes me so happy that a sentimental purchase turned out to be a gorgeous polish.  If you'd like to check out Hit Polish for yourself click here and it'll go over to the shop's site.  I hope you all have a fabulous day!

Until next time...

*I purchased this polish (and if we're being honest, 4 others and a mystery box) with my very own money.  I had to clean at least two houses to make the money for this purchase.  Totally worth it!*

Bonus pic!  I can't find any of my Sedona pics so I took this one off the internet.  So pretty!

Hit Polish Nail Lacquer Solar Flare

Press Sample

Hey everyone!  Today I have the third polish I recieved from Hit Polish Nail Lacquer to review.  I'd like you to meet Solar Flare, a clear base with red, gold and black glitters in multiple sizes and shapes.  I layered this over a black polish because I honestly couldn't think of another color to layer it over.  My ring finger is three coats with no base color so you can really see what this glitter looks like.  All the other nails have two coats over black plus topcoat.  The formula was exactly what I've come to expect from Hit Polish.  It was easy to use and all the glitter lays flat.

I like this color combo a lot.  I just need to come up with a better color to layer it over.  If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them.  If you'd like to check out all that Hit Polish Nail Lacquer has to offer click here to visit the shop and here to visit them on facebook.

Have a great day!

Hit Polish Nail Lacquer Peachy Keen

Press Sample

Happy Monday lovelies!  Today I have another Hit Polish Nail Lacquer that I received for review.  I'd like you to meet Peachy Keen.  My photos are all of three coats and topcoat.  I actually wish I would have stopped at two coats.  Yes there is a bit of VNL but it gave me a really cool mannequin hands with glitter look.  This is really outside the normal realm of my polish choices but I totally loved the look it gave me.

The formula was very good.  I was expecting it to thicken up on me a bit while I was using it, between the three coats and the freaky humid weather here, but it did not at all.  Each coat applied very smoothly and the glitter laid flat.

If you'd like to pick up this lovely polish or one of the many other pretties from Hit Polish, click here.  You can also keep up to date with all the goings on by giving a like on facebook.  I hope you all enjoyed today's polish.  I have one more to show you later this week.

Until next time...

Hit Polish Nail Lacquer t.E.o.G. Nebula

Hello!  I have the coolest polish to show you guys tonight.  I've already scheduled my posts for the week but there is no way I could wait to show you guys this.  I received a few polishes from Hit Polish Nail Lacquer to review and I knew as soon as I opened the box that this was going to be a favorite.  This beauty is t.E.o.G Nebula (The Eye of God).  This polish has a teal shimmer base with glitters of different colors and shapes.  I have layered t.E.o.G over OPI Ski Teal We Drop on three nails and a black polish on my ring finger.  My pinky has two coats of t.E.o.G and all the other nails have one coat.  I think it's perfect for layering with just one coat.  There is plenty of glitter payoff and the teal shimmer is very visible.

I'm pretty sure you could get this polish opaque in three coats but I really wanted to conserve this beauty.  I intend to wear it lots!  I like this over the OPI more than over the black but wanted you to be able to see multiple options.  This polish will be available on July 27th at http://shop.hitpolish.com/.  You can find Hit Polish Nail Lacquer on facebook here.  Don't miss this one you guys, it's seriously cool.

Until next time...

Zoya Josie & Hit Polish Kryptonite

Sun

Happy Sunday!  Today I have Zoya Josie from the new summer collection.  Josie is a dusty grass green cream that has the most wonderful formula.  It's exactly what you'd expect from Zoya.  Two coats and it looked perfect.  My accent nail is Hit Polish Nail Lacquer (formerly D&R Apothecary) Kryptonite, a gray jelly base with green and gray glitter, layered over China Glaze Recycle.  I only bought the mini of Kryptonite (what was I thinking?) so I layered it to conserve.  This is my favorite mani of the last few weeks for sure.

Shade

So what do you think?  Before ordering Kryptonite I wouldn't have paired these two colors but now I'm kinda obsessed with green and gray.  If you'd like to check out Hit Polish Nail Lacquer for yourself click here for the etsy shop and here for her facebook page.

Have a great day!

*I bought both these polishes myself.  I couldn't pass up Zoya's Earth Day promo and Hit Polishes just have this weird way of jumping into my online cart and flying home to me.*

An Unfortunate Combo

Sun

Hey all!  Today I have a mani for you that looked so much better in my head haha.  I started with Barielle Do Unto Others, a lovely green that covers great in two coats.  I added Barielle Lemondrops on my accent nail.  Lemondrops took three coats to even out and not be streaky.  It's a bright, bright yellow.  To try and save this weird combo I added D&R Apothecary Sundance to my accent nail.  I love Sundance but it needs a different base color.  You can't see the cool yellow glitters at all.

Shade

So there you have it.  My latest mani failure.  Oh well, can't win them all.  I hope you all have a great day!

D&R Apothecary Strawberry Daiquiri

Hello!  Today for your viewing pleasure I have an indie brand that I just can't resist.  D&R Apothecary makes some of the most amazing, high quality glitter polishes.  At one point D&R polishes were called Hit Polish then she switched the name back to D&R.  Under either name the polishes have always been great.  Now before you start thinking that I got these for review and I'm just saying this, I bought this and a whole bunch of other polishes from this maker myself over the last year or so.  She has amazing sales that I just can't help but throw money at.  Anyway, today I have Strawberry Daiquiri to show you.    This is a pink and gold glitter bomb in a sheer pink base.  I layered one coat over Zoya Gie Gie.  Check out that glitter payoff.  No fishing or placing going on here.

It wasn't cloudy or sunny when I took these photos.  It was somewhere in between.  I'm not usually one for girly pink manis but this one was lovely.  It was just what I needed after wearing all the teal polishes.  Seriously you guys, I have a teal problem.  I suppose that's foder for another post.  If you'd like to check out D&R click here for the etsy shop (there's a sale going on through Fri 5/31) and click here for her facebook page.  I hope you all have a great day.

Until next time...

*I purchased this polish myself.  This maker's etsy shop sucks all my will power and I'm always ordering something.  I should probably stop looking at it.  Nah...I like my pretty sparkly nails too much.*
