Nine Zero Holiday Collection

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have the Nine Zero Lacquer Holiday Collection to share with you! I'm writing this on Thursday evening after much food so let's just get to the pictures, lol!!

Santa Suit is a red jelly with ultra micro gold holographic glitter. This is surprisingly opaque for a jelly and covered in two coats, plus topcoat. 

Star On Top is a gold holographic microglitter. This is soooooooo sparkly and fantastic in person. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Twinkle Lights is silver holographic with semi-transparent rainbow glitter. I used 3 coats for this, plus topcoat. I only used one coat of topcoat but a second (or a thicker topcoat) might have been beneficial to smooth everything out.

Stocking Stuffer is a white, red, grene, and silver glitter topper. This is super dense and covers really well. I applied one coat over Star on Top because let's be real, I don't do anything demure and HOLO ALL THE THINGS! I did forget to add topcoat to this and that is needed, for sure.

Cat In The Christmas Tree is a pine green jelly with ultra micro gold holographic glitter. Simply gorgeous!! 2 coats, plus topcoat.

A Peculiar Star is dark blue jelly with blue holographic glitter. This was opaque in two coats, plus topcoat. This one was a bit gritty so a second topcoat would be needed to smooth everything out. 

So yeah I basically love all of these and if you haven't tried Nine Zero Lacquer yet, I recommend ordering some on Monday, as Jess is running a 20% sale! Use code CYBERMONDAY20!!

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! :-)

Pinwheel Polish Swatches!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have 3 polishes that I received in a giveaway prize from Pinwheel Polish! These are my first Pinwheel Polishes so I was excited to try!! This is the Autumn Trio.

Hot Toddy is a off white milky jelly with orange, brown and gold glitters. These are super sheer so if you don't want to see your nail, I would layer over an opaque base color. This was 4 coats of Hot Toddy, plus topcoat.

Flannels By The Fire is a gray jelly with metallic orange, green, and blue glitters. This was 4 coats plus topcoat.

NightFall is a black jelly base with rainbow micro glitter. 4 Coats, plus topcoat.

Even though these were really sheer, they were not thick or goopy at 4 coats, and the glitters were plentiful but not chunky. I like the color combinations and they are perfect for layering over opaque base colors!

Have you tried Pinwheel Polish??

Love, Angeline Swatches

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have some swatches of the most recent Harmonious Gemstones from Love, Angeline and I threw in a swatch of one of her glitters for good measure.

First, the glitter is Since The Beginning of Time, a glitter bomb that features every glitter Natosha has used since she opened up shop. It was densely packed and this was one coat over China Glaze Boho Blues, with topcoat.

Now onto the Harmonious Gemstones!

First is Rubellite Melodies is a pink polish. The Gemstones are typically pretty opaque in one coat, but two is preferred for full opacity. This was two coats with no top coat.

With topcoat:

Rhythym in Aquamarine is an aqua colored polish. These were all the same formula, 2 coats. Actually, all of these were 2 coats :-)
No topcoat:

With topcoat:

Rhapsody in Cymophane is a yellow gold polish. Again, 2 coats. No topcoat:

With topcoat:

Score-d Garnets is the red gemstone and I love this one. Again, 2 coats, no top coat.

With topcoat:

Finally, Triadic Gemstones is a multi colored gemstone and it's pretty amazing. This was again two coats, no topcoat.

MACRO!! With topcoat! Let's just gaze in the beauty of this. Soooo amazing.

GlitterDaze Forbidden Fairy Dust

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I'm just going to let you drool over that macro for a second.....













Ready? Okay. Today I have GlitterDaze Forbidden Fairy Dust over Rolling In The Bay. I don't really need to even say anything about this because I mean, hello. Look at this picture. I used two coats of RITB and one coat of Forbidden Fairy Dust, then topped it with my super topcoat (a mixture of three topcoats I am trying to use up, lol).

/dead.

Go buy this because it's amazing.

Orly Sparkle for Holiday 2014!

Hey guys!
                                                                                                                                Nothing To Disclose

Uhhmmm ohmahgah it's already December?? How is this even possible? I literally have no idea!! Eek!!

Let's just talk about Orly and how they are basically killing it with their collections this year. I will be the first to admit that I kind of overlooked Orly in general and when they rebranded, I was not pleased with the new look. That being said... I purchased more Orly this year than I have my entire polish life, lol! And when I saw the Sparkle collection with A LINEAR HOLOGRAPHIC SILVER POLISH... I was like... yep.... come to momma.

Explosion of Fun is a pink shimmer glitter. I used one coat over OPI MBSW. I was hoping this would be more dense and full coverage. Oh well, it's still pretty as a topper!

Bling is a gold holographic polish. It's beautiful. You need it, go buy it. I used 3 coats for opacity.

Tinsel is a red hex and green bar glitter. It sort of looks like holly! I used one coat with some placement over Bling.

Mirrorball is just freaking amazing and dude, seriously. GO buy it. This was 3 coats. There is some glitter in the holo and it's just fabulous. This picture does not even do it justice!! 

Glitterbomb is a multi-colored hex glitter. This was one coat over WnW Black Creme. It's pretty but definitely not anything new to my collection. Which isn't fair because... ya know... I have like eleventy thousand polishes :-p

Steal the Spotlight is a teal glitter polish. This was more sheer than I expected but I was able to build it up using 3 coats.

Overall, I liked this collection. I wish it were a little more opaque, rather than being primarily toppers but the holos in this collection are amazing and it's really awesome to see a mainstream brand doing such fantastic holographic polishes!! Mirrorball and Bling are FOR SURE must haves, in my opinion!!

Did you guys pick up any polishes from this collection? Are you loving Orly this year like I am? I'm excited to see what is ahead from Orly for next year!!

CrowsToes Bifrost

Hey guys!

So if you're in deep in the polish world like I am, you've probably heard of this polish and it's insane difficulty in purchasing. That doesn't make sense. You know what I mean.

I don't ever stalk restocks because I just don't have the patience and it makes me mad so I don't bother. However... guys. I NEEDED this polish. Like, NEEEEDED it. So, I waited. I waited in the queue on the Llarowe website. For hours. And... I didn't get it. WHAT?? Sigh. So the next restock, I happened on the site during the restock and Bam! One Bifrost left. GET IN MY CART, GET IN MY LIFE BIFROST! And it arrived and it's beautiful and magical and wonderful. Sigh.

This was 2 coats over bare nails. This is such an amazing, dense, colorful glitter. I'm just... I just love it!

I even posted a video on Instgram because it deserves to be seen in motion.

April Operation: Helmer Results!

Hey guys!

I think I got confused with this month's brand... the first half was China Glaze and the second half was Zoya! LOL I think I was supposed to do Zoya all month. Whoops. Oh well!

The first manicure I did was using China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely with Lumina Lacquer Mucking Rainbow. Let me just say that Thistle Do Nicely is much brighter in person.. it is searingly bright! It made my pale hands look super tan, lol! The formula was a bit thin, I should have done 3 coats but it was 10pm and I wanted to go to bed so I just did 2 coats.

Next was NOPI Goodbye Shoes and China Glaze What A Pansy with LynBDesigns Tear Away Face and Liquid Afterglow Lacquer Frog Charm.

After that, I decided that I needed to do a rainbow manicure so I used
Purity
Pippa
Thandie
LC
Caitlin
Demi
Rocky
Wednesday
Evvie
Tao
with Glimmer over all the colors.

And finally, a purple ombre manicure, using:
Megan
Lotus
Aurora (also on thumb)
Mimi

So, not a smashing success this month but better than I did in March! LOL

Next month is OPI and my untrieds bin!
