Blush Lacquers Blush Beauties Facebook Group Customs!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Press Sample

Today I have a new to me indie that I have been lusting after for a long time! Blush Lacquer is a fairly new brand, about one year on the scene, and I've seriously wanted just about everything I've seen her release! I was so happy to see Victoria and her Blush Lacquers would be at Polish Con but even more excited when she posted an opportunity to win the Blush Beauties Facebook Group Custom polishes for swatching if you were attending Polish Con and I was one of three people who won the duo!


The first polish is called Oopsie Daisies and it a slightly green tinged yellow packed with green and gold/yellow flakies and also a pinky nude shimmer. This had a great formula and was opaque in 2 coats. I thought my nail was visible after two coats but it turns out that lovely pinky nude shimmer was playing tricks on me. I did do 3 coats here but the color and opacity didn't change, so you be good to go with 2!


Siren Swells is an oxidized green (I just saw the Statue of Liberty, this must be in my head! LOL) with golden shimmer and copper flakes. YOU GUYS. I am in love with this color. I don't have anything like either of these colors (which is saying something!) and I love them both but oh my gosh this one is just <3

I used 2 coats for this polish as well and the formula was outstanding.


These will be available for order on May 5, 2017. Since these are group customs, you do need to be a member of the group to purchase the group.

KBShimmer Holo Swatches!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I am continuing my KBShimmer untrieds and this week, I have some gorgeous holos to show you!

Run! It's The Coppers! Is a beautiful copper linear holograph. As per usual with KBShimmer, the formulas on all of these polishes were fantastic. This covered completely in 3 coats.

Rust No One is a rusty orangey red holo. This is 2 coats!

Kringle All The Way is an assorted red, green, silver glitter topper that was released a few years ago and the proceeds went to charity. And yep, it's been untried for that long. Sigh. This was one coat with a few of the larger glitters blobbed on.

Poppy Kisses is a bright red holo. This had an AMAZING formula and covered in two coats. I Love love love this red!

Twinsie Tuesday: Favorite Foods

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose


Today we are discussing our favorite foods and I thought it was perfect to showcase some of my favorite Thanksgiving foods and well look at that, I just so happened to have the new Nine Zero Lacquer Thanksgiving Trio!

Turkey Coma is a copper linear holographic. This was very very close to being a one coat polish, but I did two, plus topcoat.

Cranberry Sauced is a red jelly base with holographic gold micoglitter. This had a very nice coverage for a jelly; this is two coats, plus topcoat.

Stuffed is a gold holographic microglitter with "warm seasonal glitters mixed in", basically a holographic masterpiece. This was 3 coats, plus topcoat.


Fun fact about me: Cranberry sauce is my favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal, as weird as that sounds. I can totally skip turkey but I want all of the side dishes, starting with cranberry sauce!

What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish??

Lac Attack Tricks & Treats

Hey guys!

So these were totally for Halloween but I'm showing them late, whoops. I blame Avery. (when is it not acceptable to blame your kid for things anymore?)

First, Vampire Bite. This is a fuchsia jelly with black glitter and white shards of glitter. 3 coats.





Spiced Pumpkin is a mixture of orange, green, pink glitters. This was only 2 coats! Obvy this is perfect for laying but I used it on its own here.



Sugar Skull is a mixture of square, circle and skull glitters in a clear shimmery base. This is one coat with some blobbage over Sinful Cold Leather. The circle glitters aren't curling, they are a bit holographic! The skull wasn't laying perfectly flat.


There ya go! Check out Ana's shop at LacAttack.com!

GlitterDaze Browny Bear and Rainbow Bridge

Hey guys!

I have a special duo to share with you today. Sana, the creator of GlitterDaze, created this duo in honor of her dog Browny, who recently passed away from cancer. If you know anything about me, I am incapable of saying no to an animal and I barely saw the swatches of these polishes before clicking "BUY". 100% of the proceeds of this duo will go to the National Canine Cancer Foundation

Browny Bear is a polish created in the honor of Browny herself. I used one coat over Essie Better Together. This is a very dense glitter polish, packed with browns, golds, white, and pink hearts. 




Rainbow Bridge is a multicolored glitter in a clear base. This is a very dense glitter, I used one coat over black.

KBShimmer Bejeweled

Hey Guys!

Any big plans for the weekend? I'm going to see Bob Seger tonight with my mom. It should be fun; she hasn't seen in him forever and I never have. Gotta love the Seger! 

Do you even know how long I've wanted KBShimmer Bejeweled? I don't either. Forever. Also, I always type it incorrectly. Fun fact.

Anywhoo, I used 2 coats of Bejeweled, this gorgeous purple, copper, and teal glitter over one coat of WnW Black Creme.
