Catrice Sold Out For Ever

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

This polish was sent to me years back by a friend in the UK and if I'm not mistaken, it was quite difficult to find when it was available for purchase! This is Catrice Sold Out Forever, a celery green with green shimmer. The shimmer isn't as obvious on the nail to anyone not looking for it, but it's definitely visible when you are looking directly at the nails. And let's be honest, we all do this to admire our nail polish, amiright?? This was a bit thin, and needed 3 coats for opacity.

Hey guys!

Another new polish from SinfulColors, this time from their St. Patrick's Day promotion. This is Works Like A Charm, a mint with gold shimmer. The formula on this was a bit thin and needed 3 coats. Still really pretty, though!

Have you spotted this collection yet? There is also a fun glitter topper in the mix that I didn't purchase but if you love seasonal glitters, it looks really cool!

Sally Hansen Color Therapy Haute Stone

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I enjoyed the Sally Hansen Color Therapy polishes so much that I purchased another, this time in the color Haute Stone. This is a rich brown with very subtle red shimmer. The shimmer isn't very obvious on the nail but every so often, it catches the light and is a really cool combination. This had a great formula and was opaque in 2 coats.

Have you tried the Sally Hansen Color Therapy line yet?

Today I have swatches of 4 Cirque Colors polishes! I received these in a Secret Santa gift at Christmas time and I didn't want to wait toooo long to wear these beauties! Let's get to the swatches!

Morganite is a beautiful peachy pink with holographic micro flakies. Ugh this is SO SO gorgeous in person. The holographic flakies catch the light beautifully. This was 2 coats! It had a great formula!

Garnet is a burgundy red with holographic flakies. Another fantastic formula on this polish and it covered completely in 2 coats.

Paraiba is a bright teal green with silver holographic flakies. This is STUNNING in person. Completely mesmerizing. Another amazing formula, opaque in 2 coats.

Tanzanite is an indigo with holographic flakes. Another gorgeous color, even more so in person and another great formula. This was 2 coats but it was so so close to being opaque in 1 coat.

I just think this is so pretty and dainty!

Twinsie Tuesday: Non-Dominant Hand Mani

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today we are discussing my worst nightmare, the non-dominant hand manicure. I could lie and say that I take care of my right hand, even though it's never photographed. But that would be a lie and I don't like to lie. My right hand looks like garbage. I am SUPPPPPPPPERRRRRR right handed, so doing anything with my left hand is basically a talent worthy of a medal. This task would not receive that medal.

Sigh.

I used OPI's Oh My Majesty which I will absolutely have to reswatch using the hand that is worth a darn. This was 3 coats.

Everything felt wrong about this... holding the bottle, posing the hand, cleaning up... everything. LOL!

What about you? Are you non-dominant hand challenged like I am??

China Glaze Rebel Collection Fall 2016

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

The China Glaze Fall 2016 collection is called Rebel and has some beauties to offer us. There are 12 polishes so I'm going to be short and sweet with this post.

Dope Taupe is a taupe creme. I like colors like this a lot lately. Maybe I'm getting old, lol. This was 2 coats.

Fresh Prince-es is a pale pink, which seems sort of odd in a fall collection but maybe that's part of the Rebel theme, ha. This was pretty thin and needed 3 coats.

Purple Fiction is a beautiful magenta shimmer. This was 2 perfectly lovely coats.

Teen Spirit is a midnight blurple glitter in a dark base. This was 2 coats with another nice formula.

Don't Mesh With Me over Teen Spirit, and Jagged Little Teal. Don't Mesh with Me is a blue and purple shimmer topper. 1 coat over Teen Spirit and 1 coat over Jagged Little Teal.

Ya'll Red-y For This is a glowy red with shimmer. This was sort of a surprise favorite but this was also just one coat!

Pearl Jammin' is definitely one of my favorites. This is a light blue with a fiery orange shimmer. You can use this as a topper or on its own, which I did here in 3 coats.

Holo At Ya Girl is meant to be a topper and I didn't quite realize that until I was 3 coats into this swatch lol. So it can be built up but even at 3 coats, this was not completely opaque.

Jagged Little Teal is a deep teal creme. Not terribly unique but I always love colors like this because I'm a sucker for blues. This was 2 coats, with a great formula.

Blue-Ya is a dark blue with green fleck shimmer. Another great formula, and 2 coats.

Heroine Chic is a charcoal gray with red micro shimmer. A bit thin and needed 3 coats.

Combat Blue-Ts. Oh. Mah. Gosh. This.. This is just amazing. A dark cobalt matte blue. This is one coat. Yes. One. Coat. The formula is a bit thick and you do need to work quickly to get even coverage but holy moly. I did add topcoat after this but I cannot seem to find that picture.... sooo... whoops. Trust me, it's gorgeous either way!

Did you pick any up from the China Glaze Rebel collection? What are your favorites?

Nine Zero Lacquer Men Of Letters Collection!

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Today I have the Nine Zero Lacquer Men Of Letters fall collection to share with you! This collection is based on the tv show Supernatural, which I've never seen but hear great things. There are 12 polishes in this collection and it's currently available for PREORDER, and shipping will begin September 7th! Let's do dis.

Oh, one thing: the formula's on all of these were amazing, as per usual with Nine Zero.

Angel Blade is a bright silver holographic with silver flakies. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat. I always think that I have plenty of silver but I really don't think that I actually do. So pretty!

Holy Fire is golden bronze full coverage flakie polish. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat. I was fully expecting to need three coats for this but it built up very well in 2.

Croatoan is deep red holographic. Another super great formula, 2 coats plus topcoat.

The King of Hell is a bright red metallic. This was 2 coats plus topcoat. There were some brush strokes but the metallic and flash of gold make the polish look as though it's smoldering on your fingers. I loved this one!

Purgatory is a gray, brown, purple shifting polish. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat. This clearly has a very strong color shift.

Stolen Grace is an icy blue holographic. 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Lucifer's Cage is deep dusty blue holographic. Another lovely two coater, plus topcoat.

Wayward Son is a dark green holo. 2 coats, plus topcoat. And don't even pretend you aren't singing Carry On My Wayward Son, because I KNOW YOU ARE!

Moose is a chocolate brown holo. 2 coats, plus topcoat. I love this color. I love a delicious brown polish!

The Colt is a dark gray with red shimmer and ONE COAT. I don't even know how, but it's one coat. Amazing!

Baby is a black jelly with silver micro holo glitters. Even though this is a jelly, it still covered completely in two coats. Plus topcoat.

And I saved my favorite for last. This is Singer Auto Salvage, a murky green with gold holographic microglitter. This was allllllmost opaque in two coats but I could still see a bit of my nail line and did a third. But holy moly, how beautiful is this?? Topcoat added!

So yeah, this collection is basically amazing and as previously mentioned, is available for preorder right now, through September 2, 2016. PREORDERS will begin shipping September 7th!

Great Lakes Lacquer The Great Ones Collection

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Great Lakes Lacquer recently released their The Great Ones collection, 5 polishes inspired by the Great Lakes! As a Michigander, I love anything and everything inspired by Michigan or the Great Lakes so I had to purchase this collection! Moreover, they are all various shades of blue or green, which is perfect for my insatiable love for those colors! Let's get to the polishes, shall we?

Mariah has some great formula's to her polishes and these were no different. All 5 covered well, were very easy to apply and didn't leave any staining or cuticle pooling nonsense.

Lake Huron is a deep blue that has a green shift. I am THE WORST at capturing color shifts in polish but this is really pretty. 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Lake Superior is a deep green with with purple shifting multichrome. Again, I am THE WORST at capturing color shift, so I apologize. I actually love this color without even seeing the shifting colors, lol. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Lake Erie is a deep blue to purple with a slight red tint. 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Lake Michigan is a teal linear holographic with green flakies and shimmer. Definitely one of my favorites, this was 2 coats plus topcoat.

Finally, Lake Ontario is sapphire blue jelly with and several different kinds of blue flakies. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat.

If you haven't tried Great Lakes Lacquer yet, I recommend the brand! I have had great experiences with all of her polishes and I just love the collections she releases!
