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?

Talk to you soon!

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?

Round 29: Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Press Sample

It's time again for Bestie Twin Nails with Alaina from The Little Canvas! Today we are doing a simple orange and black dotticure AND I have two Sally Hansen polishes to review for you!

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Black to Black is a standard black creme. It's very black and could be considered a one coater but I wanted a tiny bit more so I did two coats. Orange Zest is an orange creme and this had a thinner formula, needing 3 coats for complete opacity.

Then I dotted OMGhost from last year's Halloween release onto my ring finger, along with Black to Black. And for the flakies on the middle finger, I added Nine Zero Lacquer Flakie All The Things!

We wanted to add some "goobley eyes" to the pointer finger. My daughter calls googley eyes "goobley eyes" and it just cracks me up every time she says it, lol!

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!

Nine Zero Lacquer The Accent Glitters

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Today I have the Nine Zero Lacquer The Accent Glitters collection to show you! This is either perfect timing or horrible timing because I just noticed that only two of the Accent Glitters are in the Last Call section of the Nine Zero shop and the rest have sold out! My bad!

Diamond is a silver holographic glitter. This is 2 coats and in person it is not completely opaque but it's so sparkly that it looked opaque enough for me to call it good. One coat of topcoat.

Rose Quartz is a light pink holographic glitter in a clear base. This was another that was 2 coats but for complete, 100% opacity needed a third but I stopped at two. All of these glitters are incredibly holographic so they look like they are completely covering, even though you can make out a few tiny gaps if you look closely. Plus topcoat.

Amethyst is a light purple holographic glitter in a clear base. The same goes for this as the previous two: 2 coats, but probably needed 3. Plus topcoat.

Ruby is red holographic glitter in a clear base. I did 3 coats plus topcoat for this (and the rest of the polishes). I must have been lazy for the first 3 LOL!!

Citrine is a yellow green holographic glitter in a clear base. This was 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Emerald is a teal green holographic glitter in a clear base. 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Sapphire is a cobalt blue holographic glitter in a clear base. 3 coats, plus topcoat.

Onyx is a black holographic glitter in a clear base. 3 coats plus topcoat.

So as I mentioned, only two of these polishes are currently available (Rose Quartz and Citrine), which is unfortunate because they are beautiful. I still love accent glitters, even though I greatly neglect mine. I think I shall revisit some glitter/creme polish combos soon!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Nine Zero Lacquer June 2016 and Patriot

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today's post is a quick one, but I have two beautiful polishes to show you from Nine Zero Lacquer.

First, I'll share the Polish of the Month for June 2016. This is a light purple linear holograph. By now you should know that Nine Zero has just about perfect formulas, especially for holos, and this was no different: 2 easy coats, plus topcoat.

Patriot is the Limited Edition polish to celebrate the 4th of July. It is a silver holographic base with semi-transparent red and blue glitters. This was 3 coats, plus topcoat. I love this and I want it in every color combination possible, mmmmkkay?

These polishes are both available now! I'm not sure how long Patriot will be around but I'm guessing not long after the 4th of July, but you should order it now so you can wear it on the 4th, duh!

Talk to you soon!

Nine Zero Valley Isle Collection!

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Today I have swatches of the 4 new polishes from Nine Zero Lacquer and the Valley Isle collection! This collection is inspired by Jess's recent vacation to Maui (which prompted me to call this collection Lil Mau Mau because she didn't have a name picked for a while, lol!)

First up is Coconut, a creamy off white with tons of gold flakies. This had a great formula and was opaque in 3 coats.

Volcanic is a rust red with gold and copper flakies. This was 2 coats!

Trade Winds is "a medium blue jelly base with blue shimmer, color shifting flakies, silver micro shreds, and a pinch of gold shimmer". 3 coats. This is probably the most sheer but the visible nail line was not as apparent in person as it is showing here.

Black Cove is a black jelly with silver holographic micro shreds. This was another great formula and opaque in 3 coats.

I love Volcanic the best, I think. These polishes release Friday June 3 at 11am EST!

Talk to you soon!

Nine Zero Roy G Biv Collection!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have the Nine Zero Lacquer Roy G Biv collection. This is a holo collection with a crelly, glitter, and a topper. So let's get to it! So I save a little bit of typing, I added topcoat to every swatch.

Refraction is a red holo. This is super bright red holographic! Like.. glowing bright. This was opaque in two coats.

Frequency is an orange holo. Another great formula, opaque in two coats!

Dispersion is a yellow holo and can I say HOLLLAAA!! I love yellow and they are rather difficult to formulate and this is just perfect. Opaque in 2 coats!

Spectrum is a green holo. Another great formula, opaque in two coats!

Wavelength is the blue, and obviously this is one of my favorites. I love this, and another perfect formula. 2 coats. AND I didn't have any staining with this one and I wore it for a few days!

Reflect is an indigo holographic. ANOTHER perfect formula, 2 coats.

Chromatic is a violet holographic. And can you guess the formula? Just about perfect, 2 coats.

Prism is a silver holographic microglitter with rainbow holographic glitter. This was technically not completely opaque in two coats but I only did two because the glitter is so holographic and sparkly that you couldn't see the small spots that weren't covered... except for the ring finger and in this picture, lol.

Double Rainbow is a white crelly with matte rainbow glitters. This was packed with glitter and super easy to apply. Opaque in two coats. Because there is so much glitter, this did need two coats of top coat to be completely smooth.

Kaleidoscope is a rainbow glitter topper and most normal people would put this over white so you can see all of the colors but I just really had it in my head to layer it over Spectrum. I should probably put a proper swatch of this up on instagram. Someone remind me to do that, lol!

So yeah, Jess is killing it as per usual. Her shop is on vacation mode right now but I highly recommend checking these out! Love love love!
