Trelly's M.I.S.C Polish - Zero

I promised I would start my Halloween polishes early, I have so many that I have to start early or I will not get them all used before the 31st! I will have a few other (non-halloween) post as well if I'm able to squeeze them in. It will be an exciting fun month here at TPH. I wanted to start on Oct 1st, so let's all pretend today is the 1st, okay :) 

Today I used Zero by Trelly's M.I.S.C Polishes. I purchased this when she first released her Halloween collection, which can be found on her Etsy store HERE. I layered it over Orly's Enchanted Forest, which is a gorgeous deep dark green.

Also, I now have nubbins hehehe. I usually like to keep them as short as possible, but lately I did let them grown. Of course I had a break, so my nubbins are back!!!

How incredible is this!!!! My pictures do not even do this justice. Between the super sparkly orange hex glitter and the shimmer in the smaller glitters, it is just beyond fabulous. Here is the description from Trelly's Etsy Store...

Zero is a part of the Halloween Collection. Inspired by Nightmare Before Christmas' Zero the polish is ghostly with a pop of orange for his nose!! It has white and orange glitter in a shimmery clear base. 

You can clearly see by the bottle shot below how different this is, I LOVE IT!!!

 

I also love the large square glitters and the heart glitters.  How can you not fall in love with a Halloween polish with hearts in it lol.

I had so many compliments on this today. I work in a bank so people see my nails a lot, but only certain polishes bring out lots of compliments like this one did.

One of the greatest things about this polish is the glitters (including the hearts) are FLAT FLAT FLAT. No issues with lumps and bumps at all. You gotta love that. I didn't have to dig for anything, everything was just on the brush. This had an incredible formula. I did use thinner, but you really have to on all Indie polishes. Uncut base it VERY thick and you do have to treat it right.

Hope you guys like this. For those who own this and for those that purchase this, you will see the incredible pow wow that my poor little camera didn't pick up and you will not be disappointed.

Thanks for visiting guys, and please leave your thoughts below. I love to here what you guys have to say :)

Review of Naild'it Girls Gone Wild in Camo

As promised, here is Orly Buried Alive all blinged out :) I decided to use Naild'it Girls Gone Wild In Camo. I wanted something Fall oriented, and this works perfectly for the look I was going for.

There are so many fun colors in this polish. It's so unique that I'm going to use the description from Naild'it for this one...

Girls Gone Wild in Camo is a loaded glitter nail polish with browns, tans, blacks, greens, with hints of "hunter" orange, and everything girly pinks and reds... and last but not least gun metal (of course).

The color is unlike anything else I have. 

Sometimes people complain that indies can start to all look the same after a while, but this one stands on it's own for me.

How pretty is this?! I love the pinks so much more than I expected I would in this combo. I think it's perfect for a Fall look, even with the pinks added. The gorgeous green and orange glitters make it very Fall like for me.

Just so you guys know, my pics above only have one thin coat of Grand Central Station top coat. I got so excited, I took pics before I put on my final top coat of Seche Vite to smooth it all out (rookie mistake lol). I usually do one thin coat of Grand Central Station, one thin coat of Seche Vite, and one last THICK coat of Seche Vite. It works for me for getting a smooth glass finish with no 'shrinkage' that Seche Vite is famous for (when polish pulls away from the free edge and looks like the ends are worn). It's now 100% smooth on me with no shrinkage - yippee!!!

What do you guys think? Is this polish drool worthy for you guys - Yeah or Nay?

Naild'it is currently going through a transition to sales on Llarowe. Follow Naild'it on Facebook for sale dates and locations.

*Girls Gone Wild in Camo was sent to me for my honest review*

Orly Buried Alive

Today I have on probably one of my new favorite polishes EVER, Orly's Buried Alive. I didn't go out specifically looking for this polish, I just happened to get lucky and get this in the clearance section at Sally's Beauty Supply. It was on clearance for 2.99$ USD, and the sales associated used my Sally's Card and ended up discounting it further. It was under 2.00$ USD!!! This was the deal of a lifetime. I will never over look the clearance section at Sally's Beauty Supply again lol.

This is a beautiful polish. It has a gold shimmer in it that is to die for! Unfortunately, it does have it's down sides. It was really difficult to apply for me. The formula was a very very thick consistency.  I had to thin this polish a lot to get it to be workable for me. I used over 10 drops of thinner, which is a lot of thinner for one time use on a polish. Once I gave it a good shake after adding the thinner it was  a bit easier to apply, but still not perfect. The first coat is VERY streaky, but it does evens out in two coats. I was able to get most of the brush strokes to vanish. The picture above is one thin coat and one thicker coat to finish it off.

As much as this was difficult to apply, I am still in love with this polish and it is still in my new favorites list of all time. The color is that stunning! 

In most lighting you can see that stunning gold shimmer. This polish is like mind blowing!!! I can not rave about it enough, even with it's terrible formula. It's the perfect chocolate color. 

I usually cover polishes up right away with a glitter indie, but I'm leaving this one alone for at least until tomorrow. Have no fears, I will add a Indie Glitter to it so stay tuned for an update to this manicure lol...

Does you guys like this? I love brown polishes on my skin tone and I honestly can say this is the best brown I have found to date, do you guys agree?

400 Facebook Likes Giveaway!!

Sorry this one is so late. I am trying to play catch up with all the pictures I took prior to my surgery ...

This giveaway is to celebrate 400 Likes on ThePolishHoochie Facebook Page. I'm really enjoying being part of the Facebook family of nail bloggers, and you guys really make it fun and exciting, so this is a thank you for my Facebook followers.

As you all now, I'm new to the Giveaway thing and I am learning as I go along. Since this one is a FACEBOOK giveaway, the option to follow my blog won't be an option. This is just for my Facebook Followers :) 

I wanted to do something different and fun. So this giveaway is PARTY NAILS. 

* 1 set of Kiss Nail Dress Nail Decals in Jeweled Strips

*1 Bottle of Sally Hansen Gem Crush Bling-Tastic

(1 winner) and it is international.

I absolutely ADORE the Kiss Nail Dress Strips. I reviewed them way back, and I have to say they are the best strips I used to date. There was no lifting and they lasted forever it seemed. Here is my review on them in case you want to check it out HERE. This set has that same raised 3D effect on the jewels. It is so super pretty. I also added in a bottle of Gem Crush in a matching color if you want to do an accent nail with the strips, or just one Nail Dress accent nail (the set lasts a long time like that).

Super Fun and Blingy!
