SinfulColors Kandee Johnson Colors

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Affiliate Link

SinfulColors collaborated with Kandee Johnson for a new collection. I'm actually not sure how many polishes are in the collection because there are a few different parts to it: some only available at Meijer, some only at Walgreens, and so forth and so on. I saw the polishes at Meijer and these two caught my eye!

Licorice is a blackened green with a demi matte finish. This had a great formula and covered in 2 coats.

With topcoat. I much prefer this with topcoat :)

Kanfetti is a pastel glitter in a clear base. I applied a heavy coat on my ring finger, and a lighter coat on the other nails.

Have you spotted this collection yet? What do you think?

butter LONDON Inky Six and Indigo Punk

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Affiliate Link

A few more butter LONDON polishes that I purchased from TJ Maxx a few weeks back.

Inky Six is a blue micro glitter in a blue jelly base. As a jelly, this was a bit sheer on two coats so I did 3 for complete coverage.

Indigo Punk is a purple glitter in a slightly blackened base. This was also 3 coats. I didn't really care for this one as much as I was hoping but oh well. It was only $4 so I don't feel too bad about not loving this, lol.

What are your favorite butter LONDON polishes?

butter LONDON Diamond Geezer & Brown Sugar

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have a bunch of butter LONDON polishes to share but so as not to overload one post with 10 polishes, I'm going to break them up into several posts.

First, Diamond Geezer is a silver foil polish. I found this at TJ Maxx for $3.99 and whenever you can find butter LONDON that cheap, you take advantage, lol. I haven't compared this to the other silver metallic/foil polish that I have, Zoya's Trixie but I feel like these are close but not identical.

This was 2 coats.

Brown Sugar is another TJ Maxx find. This is a red and bronze metallic glitter. A little thin, this was 3 coats.

Virago Varnish 77 Collection

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have 5 of the polishes from the Virago Varnish 77 Collection today. This came out in the fall but I was as per usual slacking and just got around to swatching these.

The Hustle is an orange terracotta creme polish. It's one of those "ugly pretty" colors that I love so much. This is pure 70's awesome decor rust brown orange awesomeness. This is 1 coat. Yep. 1 coat.

12 Inch Single is  a dark merlot creme polish. Another really great formula and another one coater!!

The Bus Stop is mossy green creme. And not to sound like a broken record (haha, get it?), this had another fantastic formula and covered in 1 coat.

Disco King is a blue jelly with holographic glitter. This built up nicely in 2 coats.

Disco Diva is a brown jelly with holographic glitter. 2 coats for opacity on this baby, too.

Some of these colors are still available on the site. Did you grab any from this collection? Have you tried Virago Varnish before? From what I've tried, they have the 1 coat creme formula on lock! So good!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Affiliate Link

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.

So wow, if you haven't picked any of these polishes up yet, I highly suggest them. They were a pleasure to apply and gorgeous to wear!

Round 31 of Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

We've come to the last installment of Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas for 2016! And uhhhh we may have forgotten to post this earlier so let's be honest, I'm phoning it in for this round LOL!!

We went with a simple glitter and dotticure, perfect for NYE. The polishes I used were Wet n Wild Black Creme, Cirque Never Nude, Halcyon, and Helios.

I applied 2 coats of Wet n Wild Black Creme to my nails, except for the middle nail, which was dressed in 2 coats of Cirque Helios. Then I used Cirque Never Nude and Halcyon for my dots on my ring finger. At first, I wasn't sure about the gold with the nude and rose gold but I really liked it together!

Happy New Year! And be sure to check out Alaina's BTN!

Glitter Gal Love Bite

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I've had several Glitter Gal polishes as untrieds for... well... much longer than I would care to admit. I don't really know where to easily purchase this brand, as it's an Australian brand. Regardless, the polishes I have are very pretty so let's look at the red I chose to swatch.

This is Love Bite, a true red holo. This has a great formula, opaque in 2 coats.

Have you tried Glitter Gal? What do you think?

SinfulColors Swatches!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have 4 polishes from what I think is the Holiday Collection from SinfulColors.

First is Sleigh My Name, a white gold/champagne glitter flakie combo. Honestly... I do not like this polish. The combination of glitters in the base makes it very difficult to apply. I love the color, I wish it applied better but it was kind of a mess. This was 3 coats, and you can see that it's still sheer and even with topcoat, quite lumpy.

Gold A La Mode is a brassy gold jelly with flakies. This had a better formula than the first polish (all of the remaining polishes do, honestly) and even though it's still a bit sheer, it is much more even. This was 3 coats.

Walk the Walk is a cherry red jelly flakie. This was 3 coats.

Don't Flake is a blue jelly flakie. This was 2 coats.

I do like these but they weren't my very favorite. I want to try layering them over similar colors and maybe that will help me to really love them!

Have you found or tried these? What did you think?

Fingerpaints I'm So Enameled By You

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

A few weeks back, Sally Beauty Supply sent out a coupon offering a free Fingerpaints polish, with no purchase recquired so obviously I needed to go get a free polish, lol.

I picked out I'm So Enameled By You, a pink, gold, and holo hex glitter. I used it as a topper over KBShimmer Low and Be Bold. I used one coat and then blobbed a few extra glitters on, plus topcoat.

Did you get the free Fingerpaints coupon? Did you take advantage?? What did you get?

KBShimmer Glitter Swatches

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I'm back with more KBShimmer untried swatches!

This next polish is probably my oldest untried, honestly. I've had this for years and for some reason it just get getting pushed to the back. But no more!

Band Geek is a charcoal jelly with gold, silver, and copper hex glitters. This is 3 coats plus topcoat. I think this is quite unique and definitely not like any other polish I own.

Too Pop To Handle is a magenta with purple glitter. This was 3 coats, plus topcoat.

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?
