Great Lakes Lacquer Swatches!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have 3 Great Lakes Lacquer polishes to share with you today!

Rainbow! Right Here And Now! is a gray jelly with iridescent flakies. I thought the gray with the multicolored flakies was such a cool combination. This is 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Facing North is a periwinkle with multicolored tiny flakies. I am clearly all about the flakies lately; I just can't get enough!! This was 2 coats. Great formula on this polish!

Majick is a deep purple jelly with red shimmer and purple to blue to red flakies. The picture is like eh okay sure. BUT IN PERSON Oh my goodness. This is rather magical. The red shimmer in this is stunning and WAS IMPOSSIBLE to catch in a picture but was sooo glowy and beautiful! This was 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Have you tried Great Lakes Lacquer? What are your faves??

Nine Zero Holiday Collection + POTM

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Press Sample

I have 9 Nine Zero polishes to show you today! The November and December Polishes of the Month and the Holiday Collection! Let's get to it!

November 2016 is a fuchsia linear holo. As always, the formula was perfect and it was opaque in 2 coats.

December 2016 is an icy blue linear holo. Same as always, perfect and opaque in 2 coats.

Jess brought back her Thanksgiving trio from last year and made a crelly version of Stuffed so I had to buy that, obviously. This is 2 coats. The glitter is packed in this polish so the formula was a little thick, which I prefer.

Then Jess so kindly sent along her Holiday Collection for this year. 6 polishes, a perfect collection size lol.

Sugar Cookie is a white crelly with red, green, and yellow glitter shards. This was 2 coats plus topcoat.

Pink Christmas is a medium pink with tons of gold shimmer. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Midnight is an indigo purple with tons of holographic glitter. 2 coats.

Frost is a teal jelly base with holographic glitter. This was 3 coats.

Balsam is a pine green holo and opaque in 2 coats.

Golden Lights is the gold version of last year's Twinkle Lights. 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Have you purchased any of these or any other Nine Zero polishes? What are your favorites?

KBShimmer Crelly Swatches!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have a few more KBShimmer untrieds today! These are the untried crellies in my helmer drawer.

Let's Sleigh Together is a nude gray crelly with blue, green, and white glitters. This was 3 coats plus topcoat.

Smoke Signal is a gray crelly with orange, red, and aqua glitters. This was 3 coats, plus topcoat. I love this odd color combination!

Funky Cold Patina is a turquoise crelly with blue, copper, and purple glitter. This was 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Merry Pinkmas is a blogger collab from a few years ago with Cristina from Let Them Have Polish. This is a pink crelly with green, pink, white, and lime green glitters. This was 3 coats plus topcoat. The crelly on this was a bit thin but all of the packed glitters recquired careful placement with each coat.  

Do you have any of these crellies from KBShimmer? Tell me your other fave KBshimmer polishes!

Nine Zero Halloween Collection!

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Today I have the Nine Zero Lacquer Halloween collection to share with you! Yeah yeah yeah, I know that Halloween is in one day but I have confirmed with Jess that these will be around for a bit so you can still purchase!

Tricks No Treats is a while crelly with purple, green, and orange matte shards. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat. I would recommend setting the bottle upside down for a minute to let some of the glitters sink to the top (which sounds very weird to write out, ha!)

Jack-O-Lantern Juice is an orange jelly with matte black shards. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat. A second coat of topcoat might be needed to completely smooth out some of those shards.

Cauldron Fire is a black jelly with orange holographic glitters. This is quite stunning and about 50 times prettier in person! The sparkle is very evident! I say we get Jess to make this type of polish in every holo glitter, yes?? This was 2 coats plus two coats of topcoat.

The Witching Hour is an orange, purple, black, and green micro holo glitter. Again, another that is really much much more sparkly and intense in person! 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Spooky Lights is the Halloween version of Twinkle Lights and Patriot, with orange, purple, green, and black glitters. 3 coats plus topcoat.

Black Cat Optional in a silver holographic glitter with orange and black and white glitters mixed in. This is 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Also returning this year is Swamp Thing, the lovely green polish she released last year.

What do you think? Which of these is your favorite?

Stardust Polish Yes Doctor is a white crelly with black glitter and it's just lovely. This was 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Fangirl Polish And Shepherds We Shall Be Trio

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have the And Shepherds We Shall Be trio from Fangirl Polish! This is available as a set or as individual polishes and is inspired by The Boondock Saints. This collection is only available through St. Patrick's Day!

Veritas is a shimmery gold with gold holo microglitter and had a nice formula. I used 3 thin coats, plus topcoat.

In Nomeni Patri is a white crelly with several colors of green, gold, black, and white glitters. This was two easy, plus topcoat. There is a lot of glitter in this polish but it has a great formula and isn't thick or difficult to apply at all!

Aequitas is jewel toned emerald green with micro holo green and teal glitters. This was 2 easy coats, plus topcoat.

I really like this little trio and I like that these polishes aren't limited to only being used on St. Patrick's Day! I'm not much for seasonal glitters and such that limit my use of a polish, lol.

Be sure to check out Fangirl Polish and pick this collection up prior to St. Patrick's Day if you want to own these babies :)

Favorite Nail Polishes of 2015: Day 7

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

HOLY MOLY It's a new year. This is always shocking to me how quickly the calendar changes as I get older! Hopefully you had a safe and fun New Year's Celebration!

For today's favorite polish of 2015, we are discussing Frenzy Polish Catching Fireflies, from the Spring 2015 collection.

Catching Fireflies is a dark green base with blue, yellow, orange assorted glitter shapes. It's quite opaque on the first coat but does need two for full opacity. I also added topcoat. This green color is just lovely and I love how the glitter is visible in the base but it's not a jelly polish.

Noodles Nail Polish Beach Baby

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose
I received this polish in a giveaway prize!

A few weeks ago, I won Pinwheel Polish's giveaway which featured several indie brands! Quite a few of the brands were new to me so I was excited to try them out!

Noodles Nail Polish was one of the polishes included. Beach Baby is a nude crelly with matte pink, green, orange, and light blue hex glitters. This was 3 coats, plus two coats of top coat. The glitters were easy to get on the nail and no fishing was required.

I like this polish, it feels like summer and I'm all for hanging onto summer for as long as possible! :-)

Polish 'M & Love, Angeline Halloween Duo

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Sooooo this is apparently the week of showing polishes that you can't purchase, whoops! This is the Halloween Duo from Polish 'M and Love, Angeline. This has sold out and as far as I know, there are no plans for a restock.

Polish 'M's contribution is called Spooktacular. This is a white crelly with purple, yellow, orange, and black glitters in assorted sizes and shapes. The glitters were abundant in this polish and no fishing was required. This took 3 coats to cover completely and I added one coat of topcoat.

Love, Angeline's contribution is called A Little Batty. This is a black jelly with purple, green, and yellow circle glitters, with microglitters abounding throughout. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat. Again, no fishing required; the glitters were easily applied to the nail.

What do you think of these? I love black jellies so I'm partial to the Love, Angeline but they are both really fun for Halloween!

Polished For Days Summer Days 2.0

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have 3 of the Summer Days 2.0 polishes from Polished For Days to feature today! Honestly, I purchased 5 polishes and already wore them and have no clue where the photos wandered off sooo.... yeah.....

First is Beaches Be Tripping, maybe one of the greatest polish names of all time. This was 2 coats with topcoat and had a really easy formula. Thick but easy to work with.

Slippery When Wet is a beautiful dark blue and has a fantastic formula, ALMOST opaque in 1 coat. I did 2 plus topcoat.

Don't Over Pink It is a neon pink crelly with blue, silver, aqua, white and gold glitters in assorted shapes and sizes. Obvy the circle glitter is my favorite. This was 2 coats with topcoat.

Polished for Days is a new brand to me and so far, I'm thoroughly impressed! Her crellies are ON POINT with perfect formulas and I am loving her glitters and holos, too! Definitely going to be seeing some more from Polished for Days on the blog :-)

Stardust Polish Week! Shipwrecked, Plundered Treasure, Stormy Seas

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Welcome to Stardust Polish week!! I decided while I was swatching last week to throw in a week of some of my favorite brands every now and then. Hopefully you will enjoy Stardust Polish Week! (Twinsie Tuesdays will continue as whatever brand I had already used for the prompt).

Shipwrecked is a medium tan linear holo with gold shimmer. This was opaque in two coats and I did not add topcoat.

Plundered Treasure is a light teal crelly with gold glitter. This was 3 coats plus topcoat. I love the teal and gold combination in this polish, so pretty.

Stormy Seas is a dark blueish grayish jelly with blue and green micro glitter. This is a jelly so it will be sheer on the first few coats. Next time, I will layer it over a darker color just to save some steps. I used about 3 and a half coats here, plus top coat.

You can purchase Stardust Polish here. Be sure to follow her on Facebook and Instagram for sneak peeks are upcoming restocks and new releases!

Glitter Daze Daze of the Month Polishes

Hey guys!

GlitterDaze is one of my favorite indie brands and Sana has a monthly subscription service called Daze of the Month for $15 a month. These are the last three months of polishes, and there is usually a little extra of some sort included. There is a year long theme to the polishes, this year's theme is space... or something to do with space, lol.

First is Loose Lips Sink Mother Ships, a pink foil with holographic micro glitters. This was 2 easy coats, no topcoat.

Space Confetti is a white crelly with a whole bunch of different glitter shapes: triangle, hex, small hex in yellow, purple, light pink, blue, and orange. This was 2 coats, with topcoat.

Cosmic Fireworks is a red, blue, silver glittah bom with all sort of shapes: circle, star, shards, hexes, oh my! This was about 2 coats, with some blobbing around to even out the glitters. I also added one coat of topcoat.

So I'm going to be a total downer and show you a duo that you can't purchase any longer. Whoops. Sorry!!!

Polish 'M and Painted Polish by Lexi released a Land of the Free duo last month in celebration of Fourth of July.
