Hey guys!
Nothing To Disclose
A quick NOTD using a polish I recently purchased from the clearance section of Sephora. This is Formula X Ballet Barre, a silvery gunmetal metallic polish. I don't have a ton of colors like this and I was intrigued.
This was two coats plus topcoat and the bumps on my pointer and ring finger are on my nail and no fault of the polish!
Talk to you soon!

YWPxDifferent Dimension Let Them Eat Glitter Collection
Hey guys!
Nothing To Disclose
Today I have the Different Dimension/YoungWildandPolished Let Them Eat Polish collection to share with you!
Topaz 2.0 is a rose gold glitter bomb (well, these all are, actually!) full of pink and gold glitters, and gold flakies in a rose gold base. This was two coats, plus topcoat.
Glitter Bug is silver holo glitter, with silver holographic glitters in multiple sizes and even contains sterling silver plated flakies! This was again two coats, plus topcoat. I mean... look at this glitter! It is sooo soo sparkly in person, the camera does it no justice!
Banjo Bling is the gold counterpart to Glitter Bug, containing gold holographic glitters and flakies. Again, 2 coats, plus topcoat. I forgot to take a macro of this polish :-/
YWPimpin is a gunmetal gray holographic polish with added gold flakies, sterling silver plated flakies and gold holographic microglitters. Another 2 coater with a great formula. Plus topcoat.
Finally, Mrs. Rabbit, a fuchsia pink with blue shift and added pink holo glitters. This was also 2 coats, plus topcoat.
These polishes are basically really awesome and beautiful and I'm glad I bought them. I was going to pass because ya know.. trying to be good but I had a coupon so... I needed them, lol. This collection is available now, as a set or individually!

Catrice Captain Sparrow's Boat with Prismatics Effect and Million Styles Topcoat
Hey guys!
Today I have Catrice Captiain Sparrow's Boat (which I cannot say without singing the majority of this song from the Lonely Island... It's rather profane but the chorus makes me laugh hysterically.)
I used 2 coats of this polish for the photos. With the exception of maybe one of the polishes I've tried from Catrice, they have all had great coverage and formulas. Love that!
Captain Sparrow's Boat is a gunmetal metallic polish. There were some brushstrokes visible but it is definitely magnified in the picture.
I used Catrice Prismatics Effect on my Index and Middle fingers and Catrice Million Styles Top coat in Godfather of Pearl on my ring and pinky fingers. I am interested to see how these toppers look over plain cremes or darker colors!
Whatcha think?

Orly You're Blushing & Steel Your Heart
Hey guys! It's almost Friday. Hurrah!
These are the only two polishes I picked up from the Orly Cool Romance collection.
First, You're Blushing. This lovely lavender creme is just so feminine. As you've probably noticed, I like loud colors and glitter so this is such a tame color for me but still oh so pretty. This is two easy coats, no top coat.
Next, Steel Your Heart. A sort of gunmetal metallic polish. The brush strokes on this aren't as bad as I thought they were going to be. I do love a gunmetal color in just about anything... jewelry, polish, cars... soooo sleek!
Did you get any of the Cool Romance colors? What are your favorites?

Hunger Games Week! - Districts 3 & 4
Hey guys!
More Colours from the Capitol! There are quite a few pictures in this post, as the first polish is freaking amazing! Read on!!
Riveting (District 3 - Technology) is a G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. orange glassflecked polish. Two perfectly wonderful coats. You know my aversion to orange but this polish... there is no way I could stay away from this beauty. Gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeous!!
I added a layer of Luxe and Lush over Riveting and holy freaking moly. My nails looked like they were on fire. I got a LOT of compliments on this manicure. Several people had me write down exactly what the colors were so they go find and buy them, lol.
Next is Hook and Line (District 4 - Fishing). I originally passed on this color because I didn't like the frostiness I was seeing in swatches but the obsessive complusive Amanda won and had to complete the collection, lol. Hook and Line is a light gray frosty polish. Not my absolute favorite but it's not as bad as I was expecting, either. This is 3 coats, no top coat. I did two coats but because it was gorgeous outside, I was doing my nails outdoors... not the brightest bulb in the box, I know. Anyway, there were flaws from the wind so I had to do 3 coats. Not the polish's fault.
What do you guys think so far? Have you gotten any of these colors? And ARE YOU EXCITED FOR HUNGER GAMES??? LOL
May the odds be ever in your favor!
