Naild'it New Holo Polishes!!!

Press Sample
 
Naild'it has created an amazing line of scattered Holographic polishes, and I have swatches of a few of them here for you guys today!

Many of the Indie Polish makers are diving into the Holographic craze, and Andrea of Naild'it has done an amazing job in this first, of I hope many, Holographic collections.

These swatches are 3 coats in natural sunlight.

(*Please note: there are few other Holo polishes also available, outside of the colors shown above - Starry Eyed Surprise, StarBurt, Glowber - you can see the remaining polishes HERE
)

Salmon Run: The name of this polish is right on the money. The color is exactly that of raw salmon. The formula on this polish was flawless, and the best of the entire collection. 









 Need I say more? The pictures speak for themselves on these polishes.

Holo!! My Name is...: This one is gorgeous and the name of it totally makes me giggle every time I see it. I have a feeling this one will be a favorite in this collection for a bunch of reasons.








 It has beautiful Aqua color shift in it. This polish behaves like a duochrome as well as a holo at times, depending on the lighting.

Eeky Ink: This is the darker purple of the collection. A super deep pretty pink based purple holo.







  
Okay this one takes the cake as the best name for a nail polish EVER!! Bull-shift: Ha ha ha ....LOVE IT!!!






I'm not a fan of browns, but this one is FABULOUS!!! I love the bronze color shift in this one. To me this is another standout in this set of holos.

Abyss Kiss: This is the lighter purple polish of the set.






Naild'it polishes can be purchase at Llorowe.com and 
 the Naild'it Etsy Shop. You can follow Naild'it on Facebook HERE to get details of release times and dates!

I hope you guys like these as much as I do. What are your thoughts on these. I'm just loving them.

Spellbound Nails

Press Sample
 
I have another fabulous Spellbound Nails Polish to show you guys today, Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust

Spellbound nails is a new to me indie and it's one not to miss out on. 

Spellbound describes this polish as: Spring in a bottle. Yellow, pink, white, and lots of holographic glitter make this a beautifully refreshing polish


 This polish is in a clear base and I layered it over China Glaze's Peachy Keen. I did not thin it, it brushed on perfectly for me so I really am liking the base on this polish. This is 3 coats of Peachy Keen with 2 brushed on coats of  FTP Dust.


 This is simply beautiful and stunning. I love the yellow, blue and pink hex glitters in this one. It works perfectly with a peach color base.


 If you haven't had a chance to check out Spellbound Nails follow them on Facebook

What do you guys think about this one! Would love to hear your thoughts.

Newspaper Nude by Naild'it!

Press Sample Purchased by Me 

Tonight I have a really fun polish to share with you guys. This is Newspaper Nude, and was created by the wonderful Andrea of Naild'it. She sent this lovely polish over for my review. Tow thumbs up on this polish!!

This is 2 coats of Newspaper Nude over 2 coats of Grey Day by Model's Own.


This really does remind me of a newspaper... The grey paper and colorful ads...



The formula on this polish was a tiny bit thick. I did use 3 drops of thinner on it to get the glitters to spread better once I brushed them onto the Grey Day. I topped the manicure off with 2 coats of Seche Vite Top Coat.

I love the jelly like quality this one has as well. The base is actually pretty clear. To achieve the grey base look of the bottle, I simply layered it over Grey Day by Model's Own. It rained all day yesterday and all day today in the Mid-West, so Grey Day is the perfect polish for today :)


Newspaper Nude brought sparkle to my rainy day!


I also want to commend Andrea on the beautiful redesign of the bottle and label. Naild'it has went through a major facelift and transformation, and for the better! The bottles are now square with a non paper label. They are beautiful and classy looking.

Naild'it can be purchased from Llorowe.com or from The Naild'it Etsy Shop. Also, follow Naild'it on Facebook to get all the shop opening times and dates.

Born Pretty Store Stud Manicure!

Press Sample Purchased by Me
 
I been seeing a lot of stud manicures around lately, so tonight I decided to attempt one myself. This is what I came up with. Now, this is by no means perfect, but it sure was fun!




Here are the polishes I used...


L to R - Orly Shine, Manglaze Matte is Murder, Manglaze Mayo, Zoya Pixiedust Solange.

(The Manglaze and Orly polishes were purchased by me.)


The studs are from an amazing set available at The Born Pretty Store.


The set includes nail glue, 2 wheels of studs, 1 wheel of rhinestones and a package of several orange sticks. This entire set retails for $12.99 USD!! What an amazing price.

Please note: I did not use the nail glue for my manicure, unfortunately in my attempt to use it the bottle spilled and there was nothing left of it. Instead, I placed my studs into my polish while it was still wet and everything nicely stuck in place. 


The stud surfaces are usually shiny, but I wanted a matte finish for everything, so I topped everything off with China Glaze's Matte Magic. I love how the studs mattified!


The variety of shapes and sizes included in this set are pretty mind blowing. There is so much to choose from. I just scratched the surface with a few in my manicure. The set also includes diamond, rectangle and star shapes as well. There is a great mix of gold and silver and the rhinestones come in fun color.


You can let your creativity go wild with this set. I highly recommend owning this if you are into nail art.

Thanks for visiting!!!

Spellbound Nails and some Julep ...swatches and review

Press Sample
 
Tonight I have a FABULOUS pairing for you guys. I started with a base coat of Julep's Lauren. This is now my favorite pink polish. The formula on this polish is AMAZING, and I can pretty much say it is perfect. I don't think I have another polish that is this near perfection.  It's a gorgeous jelly like pink and if you don't own this, you really are missing out on fabulous.

The polish went on so easily, and the formula was flawless. This is 2 coats with one cot of Seche Vite as the top coat.



I topped Lauren with Spellbound Nails Madness is Catching.  Spellbound Nails is my new favorite Indie maker. The owner is super fabulous and I was honored to receive this polish for review. 

Spellbound Nails can be found on Etsy HERE.


Need I say more? :) The pictures speak for themselves.


This polish is part of the Alice in Wonderland Collection. The nail polish is described on Etsy as containing nine different glitters in a clear base. It is a chaotic mix that just seems to work, not unlike the Mad Hatter himself.

Chaotic and amazing is my description!


I love the large fuchsia pink round dot glitters and the large white hex glitters. The combo of matte and shiny glitters is so fun, and works so well together. With the smaller green glitters it reminds me of a Juicy Watermelon. This Polish is perfect for the summer.

The formula was super on this polish, and I highly recommend this polish maker. Go check her out on Facebook too, and keep up to date with all the Spellbound Nails happenings. She also has amazing nails herself and does awesome nail art.

What do you guys think?
