Some Lucky Charms!!!

Press Sample
 

Tonight I have a super fun polish for you guys. This is Hearts Stars and Horsehoes by Trelly's M.I.S.C. This is part of her Lucky Charms duo. You have to love a polish named after Lucky Charms! 

I layered the polish over 2 coats of Zoya Odette, which is a grogeous pale dusty purple. I LOVE this color and it was a perfect match for HSH's.

I did have a little shrinkage (when the polish pulls away from the tip of the nail) from my top coat Seche Vite, but that was my own fault. I have not used my SV for ages and I should have thinned it, but forgot to. The result of forgetting to thin it = The not so lovely worn tip look lol. 

HSH's has some really amazing glitters in it. As you can see above, it has hearts, stars and horseshoes (half moons). I did not 'place' any of these glitters, this is just how I dabbed it on. I use a dabbing motion instead of brushing it on like regular polish because I get a better distribution of the glitters.I also do not like to place glitters, it always looks so much nicer when I let them just be.

 The colors in this are beautiful and really work well together. Sometimes, when you mix a lot of colors in one polish it can get too busy looking, and I do not think this one does at all. I also really love the pops of bright yellow. The bright yellow really adds a lot to this.

Tonight is my Hubby's birthday, so this was so perfect. He loves purple and this glitter topper really added that perfect touch. Off to dinner we go to celebrate! Thanks for visiting and stay tuned for part two of the Lucky Charms Duo coming soon.

Thanksgiving with Tom Turkey!!

Tonight I have a super cute polish on for Thanksgiving! This is Tom Turkey by Trelly's MISC. How cute is that name??? eppps :)

I purchased this polish last year, but I never got to wear it. I'm usually not a fan of having a glitter nail polish on my nails while cooking. I always remove all nail polish of any kind when I cook. The thought of chipped off nail polish in my food freaks me out lol. Yes, you heard me right. In my house I cook dinner most nights, so polish application always go on AFTER I make dinner. For those that follow me you know my posts are late night, and now you now why.

This year I am visiting family that is out of state for Thanksgiving and I do not have to cook, so that means I can wear polish for Thanksgiving Day for a change - HAPPY DANCE!!!! lol. The first polish that came to mind was this one. I layered it over China Glaze Mahogany Magic. It's a brown I would not wear on it's own, but topped with Tom Turkey it's wonderful.

This combination came out even better than I expected. My nails are on the nubbins side. I have not taken the best care of them over the last 2 weeks, but I'm starting to baby them again so they should grow longer soon! 

 

I really do love this. These are the perfect Thanksgiving Day colors. 

Thank you so much for visiting and I hope for those that celebrate, you have a wonderful Thanksgiving from my family to yours.

Candy Corn Flowers?

Tonight I have a super amazing polish from Candy Lacquer. This one is Candy Corn FLOWERS :)

It has super fun Flower shaped glitters in it, which I love. I did not individually place the glitters either. This is just how they brushed on! This was a super amazing formula. I layered it over Manglaze Matte is Murder.

I got on a Mate kick this week and applied it to this polish as well. The shiny top coat version was just not making me happy lol. I used Hard Candy Matte top coat, one of my favorites but unfortunately discontinued. I hope to never run out of it lol.

Please excuse the Horrible condition of my hands tonight. The hubby and I did some SERIOUS brush clearing in our backyard (the weather has been so nice) and I beat up my poor hands. An area we have been meaning to clear for ages now. I think after the Halloween Swatch-a-thon is over I'm going to have to rest my fingers hahaha :) 

This is 2 coats of Matte is Murder covered with 2 dabbed on coats of CCF, topped off with a Matte Top Coat. This always happens with Matte Top Coat with me. I don't touch it for long periods of times, and then when I do I can not stop using it. It's almost Halloween here, but have no fear. I will have one more Halloween Polish up tomorrow evening before my Halloween Swatch-a-Thon ends. I hope all you trick-or-treaters out there stay safe and have a blast collecting candy. I'm looking forward to my trick-or-treaters...Candy Treat Bags are stuffed filled with fun toys and candies!

A little matte :)

Tonight I have a fun polish to share with all of you. This is a polish that is just a perfect addition to my Halloween Swatch-a-thon.

This is 2 coats of Matte is Murder by Manglaze, with Rainbow Polish's Pumpkin Smashing layered over it. At first glance I disliked it (with the shiny top coat) Sorry I didn't take a picture with the shiny top coat. After staring at it for a certain period of time, I realized I could use a Matte top coat. I'm usually the QUEEN of Matte polish,  so it shocked me to think it's been well over a year maybe since I used a matte top coat last.

I'm in love with how this combo came out! Matte Top coat is a great way to really change things up. 

I hope you all liked this one. It really made me feel in the spirit of Halloween!!!

It's Spooky up in here!!! Witch's Brew

I have a super fun polish for you guys tonight. This polish was originally from 2ChixLacquer (now: Liquid Lacquer). It is called Witch's Brew and so far this is my favorite of all of my Halloween Swatches.

The base polish is 2 coats of BB Couture's Joker, my go to purple for Halloween time. It's a gorgeous purple with a blue shimmer. I than layered on the Witch's Brew ...dabbed on like I do most of my glitter top coats.

I LOVE IT!!! I have received so many compliments on this look. This has a perfect mix of glitters. My favorite part of this polish is the micro fine silver glitters. It brings such a stunning shine to the whole combination. I hope you guys like this one as much as I do! What are your thoughts on this one? Leave your comments below. Thank for visiting!!!

Safety Stick!!!

Tonight I have a fabulous polish to share with you all. I originally thought I would like this polish the least of my Halloween polish, and I was so very very wrong. I can always admit when I'm wrong lol. I actually LOVE it to pieces!!!!

This is Safety Stick by 2ChixLacquer. I believe 2ChixLacquer no longer exists, and they have adopted a new company name since, but for the life of me I can not think what it is. If you know what the name is please head on over to the comments section and let me know lol.

This polish definitely reminds me of the glow sticks that are all over during Halloween time that the little kiddos carry around while trick or treating. This polish is brilliant!!!

This is two coats of Zoya Purity with two dabbed on coats of Safety Stick.

Agian, this polish is from 2012 and I do not believe it's available anymore. Sorry for that. I would never have any polishes to show you guys if I only stuck to polishes still available.  

Thank for Visiting. I would love to know if any of you have this one and what your thoughts are on it.

Dollish Polish ... This is Halloween!

Today I'm going to be showing you a NEW favorite in my collection (well prior to today I hadn't used it, but today it pushed a ton of other polishes out of the way and went straight to the head of  the line).

GAHHH...how awesome is this??!! At first I thought I could wear this alone and build it up to an opaque color, but it just didn't work out that way. If you did that it would be really lumpy and bumpy. I decided to layer mine over China Glaze's Tree Hugger. 

It's really simple fine glitters, but I just loved the way it looked. The gorgeous gold really makes it stand out a lot.

I even made a short spotlight video showing the polish in action!

This was so spectacular I needed to do a spotlight video on it! Check out the way it sparkles as I move my hand around in the light. GORGEOUS!!! 

Thanks for watching and thanks for joining in on this months Spooky Hoochie Halloween Swatch-a-thon!!!

Hare The Monster!!!

Tonight I have The Monster by Hare. This is one of those polish that took stalking the restock to get. It was sold out literally in seconds off the Hare shop restock sale (last year) for me to get it, and I'm still shocked I was able to grab it in time. 

I know that showing polishes you can no longer get upset some people, but than I wouldn't have anything to swatch here lol.  A lot of my collection is HTF's (especially in the indie brands I own), and I hope you enjoy me sharing them with you.

I'm not sure if this is a Halloween polish per say, but it does remind me of Frankenstein when I see it. I figured it would fit right in with other Halloween polishes. It's a very dusty teal color with very small black and blue/green iridescent glitters. the glitters are sand like.

Lately this has been my new favorite color. The whole Minty color thing. It's an older trend, but I'm still loving and it still works for me! 

I was disappointed some with this polish when I first applied it because I thought this wouldn't need a base color. I tried to build it up to opaque in 3 coats...it wasn't bad and you could get away doing that, but it was too 'lumpy' for me. In the end I just decided to layer it over Essie's Greenport. 

I have 2 coats of Essie Greenport with 2 coats of The Monster on top of that.  It's slightly gritty, so I suggest you use a regular top coat with one layer of Seche Vite over everything. That should smooth things it right out.

I'm loving this!. Do any of you own this one? What are your thoughts. Leave your comments below, I would love to hear what you guys think of this one.

Spooky Hoochie Halloween Swatch-a-thon continues...Trelly's Witches in the Sky

The last post I showed you all was a polish that was HTF (I know I know, people hate that), but tonight I have something you CAN find! 

Trelly's MISC: Witches in the Sky

This is an AMMMMMMAZZZING polish. I layered it over Manglaze's Butt Taco (lol...always love saying that haha!).

I bet this would look CRAZY BEAUTIFUL with a Matte Top Coat. Of course my favorite part is the Moon Glitters (see pinky nail above). FUN FUN FUN. 

Now you can see why Trelly's is one of my favorite brands of my collection!!

A Late Labor Day Post ....Trelly's Because of the Brave

I'm extremely late on this post, I hadn't realized I didn't post it, so I'm going to share it with you tonight. This is Because of the Brave's from Trelly's M.I.S.C. I wore this for Labor day. I have it layered over Barielle's Danger at 8, which is part of their new 2013 Sophisticated Lady Fall Collection. I will have swatches of that new collection coming this week!

I really loved this combination.

The glitters in Because of the Brave are a wonderful mix of Stars, Hearts, Hex, Round and Squares. The heart glitters are a little difficult see because they are red on red, but you can see them in my first picture on my index finger.

The formula was great and easily dabbed on. Check out the large chunky hex glitters on my middle finger, ringfinger and pinky. Those are my favorite part of this polish and make it very unique from my other patriotic polishes.

I also made more jar pies, Blueberry, for Labor day. I was testing my Halloween cut outs for the top lol, so just ignore the fact they are Halloween oriented.

I got the Idea from Our Best Bites. They are so super fun to make.

Thank you for visiting and make sure you leave some love in the comments section!!!

Fanchormtic Nail Swatches

Press Sample (Fanchromatic Nails)
Purchased by Me (Models Own and Sation)

Today I have three awesome polishes from Fanchromatic Nails.

 

 

 

This is two coats of Raptor Girl on it's on, no base color needed for this one. To me, this reminds me of a fish tank lol. I loved this one and the formula was wonderful.  It brushed on beautifully and I had no issues with it at all. .

 

 

The next color is a really pretty Pink/Lavender polish with a Lavender and Gold shimmer. Gorgeou!!.

 

 

 You can see the micro glitter Gold shimmer really well in this picture. I did have to layer this over a base coat and I used Sation Lilac That, which was a perfect match for this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a medium shade of Grey with Silver, Light Blue, and Dark Blue Glitters.  I love the mix of glitters in this. It's very subtle and very pretty.

 

 

 

 

I did have to layer this over a Grey base of Models Own Grey Day. This was a los a perfect match for this polish.

 

 

Over all I had no issues with any of the formulas. I didn't have to use thinner on anything and they played very nicely with the base colors.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you are all having a Great Weekend!

Zoya Satin Swatches - Fall 2013

Press Sample
 

Tonight I have swatches of the New Zoya Satin Collection for Fall 2013. I LOVE LOVE these, and I think you will as well.

The best part of this collection is that it includes a Gorgeous Top Coat (Maria Louisa) that works with all of the colors. A+ to Zoya for going with a Glitter Top Coat in this collection.

Keep reading on, and you will see the Glitter To Coat on all of the colors...

CLAUDINE

This is my favorite of the entire collection. I think it's PERFECT for Fall. The perfect Black. It has a gorgeous silver sheen to it, and I adore it. I am all about dark colors when it comes Fall.

I took this at different angles and lighting so you can see the lovely silver in it. 

I am in love with this color. Thank you to Zoya for creating such a stunning black!

Then to make it fun, I added the Gold Glitter Top Coat that is included in this set for some extra bling! Claudine with MARIA LUISA layered on top.

 GIOVANNA

This was probably the toughest to get an acurate color on. It's a gorgeous Teal/green. Sometimes it leans more Green and other Times more Teal. In the swatch below I had really bright lighting and it looks mostly Teal.

 In deeper/darker lighter it almost looks Emerald Green (below).

 Below it has a nice mix of Green and Teal. It's very VERY unique and I do not have anything else like it in my collection.

 With MARIA LOUISA Top Coat (below). PRETTY PRETTY!!!

NEVE

This is a beautiful unique color as well. It's a perfect mix of Blue and Purple. Need I say anything more?....WOW!!! I'm pretty right on accurate with the color here, and you can see the lovely Purple Flashes.

If you can only pick a few polishes from this collection, make NEVE one of them.

This is a STUNNING polish!!!! I gasped when I put it on lol!

With the MARIA LOUISA Glitter Top Coat. This combination with the top coat was my favorite!

CHANNING

This one was very difficult to capture. It really leans more Cooper Penny than Orange like it's showing here.

 

This is definitely cooper penny look on this one with slight orange.

It's very very unique and very very pretty.

I did not swatch the Glitter Top Coat on this becasue I felt it wouldn't show enough. 

MASON

This is a really stunning Fuschia Pink...But it also has flashes of purple. I have to say Zoya has really made a bunch of complex colors for this set.

It's loud and bright,and it's so me. I'm very loud and bright lol.

Is this not stunning or WHAT!!!

You can really see the purple flash in the above picture.

With the MARIA LOUISA Glitter Top Coat.

This is really beautiful with the flaky gold Top Coat.

Even though this was probably the hardest set to photograph for me, I truly love them. Zoya has really stepped up their game with these very complex Fall colors.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
