Fanchro-matic Nails: New Release Into the Black

Press Sample
 

Tonight I have a new 'to me' Indie polish by Fanchro-matic Nails. The  polish I'm showing you tonight is called Into the Black. This polish is expected to release on August 16th, 2013. 

 It's best described as a black polish with slight blue undertones, with a beautiful silvery shimmer. Need I say more?! These pictures say it all...

WOW this is just straight up off the chain gorgeous!!!! This is my new favorite black polish for sure. The formula was perfect and brushed on flawlessly. Once I added a shiny top coat the polish just exploded with greatness!

This is 2 coats of Into the Black with a top coat of HK Girl. I love the shimmer in this, it really is jaw dropping. 

How fun is that label too? 

If you are looking for a fun black polish for Fall (and even Halloween) and you don't want just the same ole basic black, this is perfect!!

You can find info on Fanchro-matic Nails on their Facebook page HERE. All release and shop details can be found there. 

What do you guys think about this one? I just LOVE it.

Julep Hand Scrub Review

Purchased by Me

Tonight I would like to do a quick review on Julep's Glycolic Hand Scrub. I received this sample in one of my past Maven boxes. To me a hand scrub is essential. It helps to remove dead skin after the use of a cuticle remover and helps to soften the sensitive skin around your nails and nail beds.

 

The consistency is a typical scrub. I like this one because it's not too harsh. It has a nice feel to it which is strong enough to get the job done, but not too scratchy for sensitive cuticles. It contains 10% glycolic acid and makes your hands so soft after just one use!

I use this all over my hands. It's even gentle enough to use on your face, according to the Julep web site.

I also like to use a scrub when I swatch polishes here on the blog. When you swatch a polish sometimes small bits of the polish remain on your skin after you remove it, and it can be very messy if you are wanting to swatch another polish right after. I use the scrub in between polishes changes and it makes my fingers feel and look fresh for each polish change.

 The scrub retails for $23.00 and the Maven price is $18.40. I know that seems like a high price, but you only use a small amount for each use. You can also take advantage of discount codes or sales and grab a tube for a reasonable price.

I love this scrub and will be purchasing a full size bottle for sure. 

Thanks for visiting!

Trelly's M.I.S.C. Flamingos in the Pool swatch

Press Sample  - Trelly's M.I.S.C
Purchased by Me  - Sation
 

Just a real quick post tonight. I decided to try out Trelly's M.I.S.C. Flamingos in the Pool. It's a bright pink that leans on the fluorescent side. I layered this over 2 coats of Sation's Beyond the Bubblegum Pink.

It makes me think of the cheesy plastic flamingos that people put in their yards for lawn decorations... hahah.

(above photo courtesy of www.plasticyardflamingo.com lol - not kidding on that website name) 

Super fun and bright. I really had fun with this one. The formula was great, I didn't thin it and I brushed and dabbed it on. The stars came out on there own, no having to place them.

14 Carrots Whimsical Ideas by Pam manicure

This is my first Whimsical ideas by Pam polish, 14 Carrots. I have a our family picnic to attend tomorrow, (we have it once a year), and I wanted something bright and fun. This polish fit the bill perfect.

I'm so pleased how this came out. I layered it over Wet n Wild Sunnyside.

Just note that Sunnyside is more yellow toned and once you layer the 14 Carrots over it, It darkens the color to what you see here. I loved the combination so much. 

 

Orange is one of my favorite colors, so when I saw this polish I had to own it. You can only order these polishes on Facebook. Visit the Whimsical Ideas by Pam's Facebook Page and you can email your order to Pam.

 The glitters in this are very simple, just one small hex and small micro glitters, but they really pack a punch for me. 

 It's gorgeous and simple, but bright and wild lol. Just like me:)

I was super pleased with the consistency. Not gloppy or thick at all. It was easy to brush and dab on. I have a few more of her's that I have ordered, and I'm now anxious to use them. I will have to order more now as well.  There are several I have my eye on.

Thanks for visiting and have a lovely weekend.

Candy Lacquer Spring Fever ...In Summer :)

Purchased by Me
 

I have had this polish sitting around in my collection since the Spring, and before Fall starts, I wanted to use it. I can get away using it in the Summer, but I don't think it would work well with the Fall so much.

I paired Spring Fever with Sation's Loudest Color. I wanted bright and wild. I think I achieved that exact thing...

Loudest color is a fabulous neon yellowish greenish polish (yes, adding 'ish' to the end of a word makes a real word, I promise lol). It leans more towards green(ish). I did have to do 3 coats of it to get it opaque, so use thin thin layers if you decide to duplicate this look.

I knew the combo would be great.

 I know I know, It is WAY past Spring time lol, but better late than never :)  I figured before it's Fall - I would get it done!

I love how the large purple dot glitters and pink butterfly glitters complement the neon. This one is not for the faint of heart.

 

Thanks for visiting guys, and stay tuned. I have a bunch of giveaways coming up so make sure you are subscribed to ThePolishHoochie Facebook Page to participate.

Have a wonderful weekend!
