Zoya Holly & Feenix Polish Halloween Party


Sun

Hi everyone!  I'm back from vacation but I'm sick so today's post is gonna be a quick one.  I've had Zoya Holly sitting around for a while now but am so glad I finally used it.  What a gorgeous, shiny green.  It was perfect in two coats.  Zoya really nailed it with this perfect holiday green.  I added Feenix Polish Halloween Party on my middle finger per my 9yr olds request.  Halloween Party is a really cool glitter.  It has purple, green and orange glitter in a black jelly base.  I have many more plans for this one but for now it's just an accent.  The black jelly really didn't change the color of Holly at all.  It was also super easy to apply.  No dabbing and swirling around the glitter with this one.

Feenix Polish has some really neat polishes up right now.  Click here to visit her etsy shop.  I also ordered Candy Corn and can't wait to try it out.  What's your favorite Halloween polish?

Have a great day!

Sassy Lacquer Wizard's Fire

Sun

Hey all!  I have a super cool polish for you tonight but first I wanted to let you know that I won't have another post for about a week.  Taking my boys on a little trip to visit some family and I forgot to schedule some posts.  Sorry about that.

Shade

Okay so on to tonights awesome polish.  This is Sassy Lacquer Wizard's Fire.  I've reviewed some other Sassy Lacquers here before.  This one though I bought myself after seeing another bloggers review.  Wizard's Fire is a dusty purple jelly with teal shreds and copper shimmer.  Are you freakin kidding me?!?  It's so cool.  This is two layers of WF over one coat of Julep Charlotte.

Another sun shot
I did have a few shreds that wanted to stick up some but I just used the slanty side of my orange stick to push them down as I was going along.  No big deal.  I used a coat of Gelous then topcoat and it was pretty smooth.  You can purchase Wizard's Fire here.  This polish is so worth picking up.  I hope you all have a great week and I'll be back soon.

Rescue Beauty Lounge Jack

Sun

Hello!  (Am I the only one that hears that in Heidi Klum's voice?  I am?)  Today I have my very first RBL polish.  RBL is a little too pricey for me at $20 a bottle.  I got a good deal on this on from Copious though.  I probably won't buy any others.  I'd like you to meet Jack.  Jack is a neat green polish with a cool blue shimmer.  Unfortunately for me, Jack's shimmer, that is so abundant in the bottle, only shows in direct sunlight.  Inside it just looked like any other blue green polish.  The formula was pretty good but I was expecting amazing based on what all the RBL lovers out there are always saying.  The sunlight picture of Jack is amazing.  The shade picture shows you what this polish looks like 99% of the time.

The other downside for me was Jack didn't even make it through one shift at work.  I had big chips and tons of tip wear.  I know there are tons of RBL fanatics out there but as of this mani I'm not one of them.  Sadly with the price tag on these polishes I'm afraid I may not get to try any others in order to change my opinion.  On the upside I was able to sell this polish within a few minutes of listing it up on a swap/sell board.  

Have a great day!
