Where is The Polish Hoochie?

Hi Guys,

I'm sure you are all wondering where I have been. I had a bunch of polishes I wanted to swatch for Halloween....

I am here to tell you I am still here, but I had a terrible incident occur Tuesday evening. My Significant Other, Kelly, had a massive Heart Attack Tuesday of this past week. He was air lifted from our home in efforts to save his life. He was revived 3 times prior to being air lifted, and I was sure that was the last night I would see him alive. His life was hanging on a thread. Thanks to my local EMT's, Air Vac team, and Doctors and Nurses they saved his life. He had a 100% blockage on his right main artery and 95% blockage on his left main artery. The Doctor said it was miracle he was alive. He basically fought hard to stay alive.

After many uncertain hours, many sleepless nights, and many countless hours spending praying for his life, God was good and did not take him from me, it just wasn't his time. I feel very blessed that he remains in our lives.

We returned home from the hospital. Kelly is doing really good, but we have a long way to go for full recovery. I have to be his full-time nurse for a bit. We will be involved in a Cardio Rehabilitation Program for the next 12 weeks for 3 days a week, in addition to countless hours of Cardiologist appointments. 

I had posted this on Facebook, and I want to thank all of you that sent out Prayers and good wishes. Keep praying as Kelly has a long recovery. I hope you guys understand that here and my Facebook have to go silent for awhile. I will be here when I can :) Thanks guys!!!!

Trelly's M.I.S.C Trick or Trelly

Tonight we continue on with the Halloween polishes. I am going to try really hard to get ALL my Halloween polishes up before the 31st, but I make no promises lol. I also dressed the blog up for Halloween and I hope you guys like it. It's very obnoxious with colors, but Halloween is supposed to be flashy right?? lol.

Tonight I have Trelly's M.I.S.C.'s Trick or Trelly. How cute is that name, lol!! It's so perfect and so creative. I easily fall in love with polishes with cute names. 

This is two coats of Model's Own Green Grass with two/three dabbed coats of Trick or Trelly. This is topped off with one thick coat of Seche Vite fast drying top coat.

I love bar glitter, and I know a lot of you just cringed lol. Bar glitters are not bad if you know how to apply them properly. I love how they add to the round and hex glitters in this. 

BAR GLITTER TIP: I hate when you brush on bar glitter and they all point the same direction. TRY THIS. When you brush on a bar glitter, brush them on from cuticle to free edge AND then side to side as well. It helps to get your bar glitters pointing in different directions and not all the same (which does not look so great).

I love Trelly's, and this is no exception :) I purchased this off her ETSY shop, but Cassie, the owner, has moved over to Big Cartel. Check her new shop out HERE.

No need to fish for any glitters here, they easily stuck to the brush.  I did not thin this polish I usually do. The formula was thick, but for dabbing polish on it's better to have some thickness. 

This is gorgeous and sparkly and one of my favorites that I have purchased for this Halloween season.

I will have more Trelly's up from the Fall Line as well, as soon as I get through all the Halloween ones LOL!!! :) 

Hope you guys like this. Please leave your thoughts below. I look forward to reading everyone's comments every day!

Review of Trelly's M.I.S.C Oogie Boogie...Do You Believe in Magic?

Do you guys believe in Magic? I actually do after today...and Magic from Claire's.

I have no idea why I have never used this, but this polish is pretty AMAZING!!! I purchased this at Claire's quite a long time ago, I'm not even sure they still make it? I will let the pictures speak for themselves...

 This is three coats with no top coat. I was applying glitter so I didn't top coat it in between.

This has a gorgeous dark purple color with a lighter purple shimmer that is very visable.

Crazy gorgeous for sure, isn't it? I then topped it with Trelly's M.I.S.C Oogie Boogie. This polish is from Cassie's 2012 Halloween Collection and you can still purchase this at Trelly's Big Cartel Shop HERE.

My camera was confused at the gorgeous glitter here lol. It was tough to get my camera to appreciate the real look of this. I can not even explain how outrageous and glittery this is. In person its 1000 times more gorgeous.

This is 2 dabbed on coats of Oogie Boogie. I did not thin this because I wanted the glitters to be very chunk. Everything stuck to the brush super easy and there was no digging involved.

In the light it is BLINDING, in a good way :) I could not stop staring at this.

I topped this of with one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and one coat of Seche Vite. Smooth operator :)

WOW is my reaction to this one. What do you guys think?

*Oogie Boogie polish sent to me for honest review*

Rainbow Polish Monarch

I actually did this manicure Sunday morning in my hotel room and I did it in like 5 minutes. I didn't do any cleanup and it was rush rush. I lost track of time and had no choice but to rush it out. We needed to get on the road, and I did not want to delay things if I could help it. Things aren't always so perfect, and it's not up to my regular standards, but I still wanted to share it with you all. Things can't always be perfect lol. 

I knew I wanted to use purple as a base when I purchased this. The sample swatch that was shown on the Rainbow Polish Etsy Store HERE used purple, and for this one I wanted to duplicate the look. 

This is two coats of BB Couture Joker (the perfect purple for Halloween) and one coat of Rainbow Polish Monarch. I love the way the colors pop against the purple background. This polish would also be awesome over a white base.

I loved the consistancy of this polish. It was really easy to work with and gave me no issues. I was greatful, since I was such in a rush to have to apply it. 

Rainbow polishes are my new indie obsession, I really do love them. I have several others, including Pheasant that I won on their Facebook contest so you guys will be seeing more of these. 

These glitters lay so flat, and I was really pleased with the polish over all. I only have a really thin coat of Seche Vite on these, I didn't have time for much more, and it feels very smooth. 

Thanks for visiting tonight. I'm hoping that I can get a second post up tonight. I'm trying real hard to get all my Halloween polishes up before the 31st, but I make no promises lol.

Candy Lacquer Vampire Kiss

Halloween Manicures continue. Tonight I have Candy Lacquer's Vampire Kiss. I think this is like the first Halloween polish I purchased in my collection of Halloween 2012 polishes. It really caught my eye. 

First, I want to say I have no idea why my fingers get so shiny looking when I wear black polish, but that is just the case. I do not have oil or cream of any sort on my hands. I avoid cuticle oil like the plaque before pictures lol. My skin looks pale and shiny and slightly corpse like...just perfect for Halloween lol. I have jet black hair so I love sporting jet black nails. 

I also have my new SUPER nubbins tonight. I normally do not like wearing my nails long. My nails had gotten so long (for my standards) lately, so I attacked them with a file. I got a little carried away with it lol. I'm not worried as they grow back really fast.

How gorgeous is this!!!! I was ohhhhing and ahhhhing as I applied it and realized what a beauty it is. Now please note, there are black glitters in this mix as well, but since my base is black you only see the purple and the red glitters.  If you look really close you can see a black diamond shaped glitter on my middle finger in the lower left hand corner. 

Check out the gorgeous diamond shape purple glitters, and the red heart glitters. It definitely makes me think of a Vampire Kiss. Sandra at Candy Lacquer really is amazing with her polishes and her naming of them. The women has some serious Skillz.

This is two coats of Wet n Wild Black and 2/3 coats of Vampire Kiss. I brush and I dab on, so it's difficult to actually count the coats do to the dabbing method.

I also have one one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness's Glitter Food as a Top Coat. I have fallen for this stuff big time. It's really amazing. It's super thick and levels out everything so well. There is a learning curb to it, but once you get it you will never go without it again. It's a must have for all glitter polishes. It does dry matte, so I also layer on one thick coat of Seche Vite to bring back the shine and dry things up!

I'm thrilled with this polish, and so glad I purchased it.  You can purchase this polish HERE. She is making the very last batch of this, so grab it while you can. I think it would be awesome for Valentine's Day too. 

Hope you guys like this one, it's love for me. Let me know what you think. 

Thanks for looking guys!
