The first one I'm showing you is Kiko #400, a GORGEOUS dark gray linear holo. Ermahgerd, so beautiful! This applied like butter, too. 2 easy coats, no dragging... LOVE IT! And like the glitter, I can't edit or remove holo pictures so you get to see them all!

March Untrieds: Color Club Halo Hues 2013!

Hey guys!

Today's March untrieds post is a doozy! Lots of pictures so bear with me! And make sure to go visit Sarah and Amanda's posts today! 

Today I have the Color Club Halo Hues 2013 releases for you. As with the last batch of Halo Hues, all the formula's on these were pretty terrific. I didn't use an aqua base for any of them and there was no dragging or anything like that! Whoo! All swatches are 2 coats.

Oh, also, there was no sun when I was swatching these so you get a table lamp. Wahh.

Let's get to it! First up, Kismet! This is a really fun green gold holo.

Next, Cosmic Fate, which is an orange holo... I love this one! 

Next is Miss Bliss, a pink holo. This is very similar to Halo-Graphic from the 2012 holo's but Miss Bliss is a bit more vibrant.

 Eternal Beauty, a deep purple holo.

 Over the Moon, the blue holo from this collection.

And finally, Beyond. I think I just love black holo's the best. They are so sassy! It also seems like this was the strongest holo, but that could be because the base color is so dark.

So! What do you think? Did you get any of the new Halo Hues? What were your favorites?

March Untrieds: Lush Lacquer Birthday Cake

Hey Guys! Don't forget to go see what Amanda and Sarah are posting!

I received this polish in a prize pack from Marisa umm... in like September, lol. Yeah, I'm wayyyy behind. 

Anyway, Lush Lacquer Birthday Cake is a white jelly with rainbow microglitter. I think I used 3 thin coats here. I would wait a minute in between coats to prevent dragging/clumping.

Thanks Marisa!

March Untrieds: A England Ascalon and Cirque XX

Hey guys! So I totally forgot to post yesterday I was a little busy. We found out that we are expecting a baby girl! Yayyy!!! So much glitter!!!! :-) Everything looks fine and healthy and normal, so that is the biggest blessing.

Check out Sarah and Amanda's posts today! 

For this installment of March untrieds, you're looking at silver and holo goodness from A England and Cirque. There are a lot of pictures because I couldn't deny the beauty and had a very hard time deleting pictures. Sorry I'm not sorry.

First up, A England Ascalon, a dark gray linear holo. This was 2 lovely coats, as per usual with A England. Let's bask in it's beauty, shall we?

To make it even more holycrapwhatnailpolishisthat, I added 1 good coat of Cirque XX. Umm... okay. So I basically love XX like whoa. LOOK AT THAT HOLO GLITTER ERHMAHGERD!!!

If you don't own either of these, you just should. You just should.

March Untrieds: Julep February Box (It GIrl)

Hey guys!

Better late than never with this Julep box, eh? For March, Sarah, Amanda and I are doing rainbow untrieds! So that means: holos, skittles, anything rainbow-y! 

So I figured this was the perfect time to get my butt in gear and show you what was in my February Julep It Girl box!

First, Rebel, a silver holo. I don't know why I always pick up silver holos... I have like 100 of them... Anyway, this was 2 coats of Rebel. I didn't have any issues applying, and there was no dragging. Yay! Also, it was February in Michigan when I swatched these soo... yeah, no sun. Sorry.

Next is Joan, which isn't a holo but a berry colored polish with golden/orange flakies. This was again 2 coats. 

 Here is Joan with Julep's Freedom Polymer Topcoat.

Finally,  Marion. Technically not a holo, but a very pretty dark teal with the slightest shimmer. 2 coats.

February Untrieds: Sally Hansen Swatches

Hey guys! Today is the last day of our February Untrieds: Cremes and Shimmers. Next month, we're tackling holo's! Whoohoo! So make sure to check out what Amanda and Sarah posted today!

Sequin Scandal is a polish that I won in a giveaway from Madeline from Quest4TheHolyNail. It sat in my untrieds bin forever; why? I am not sure!

This was two lovely coats of this gorgeous bronze shimmery beauty. 

In A Flurry! is a LE polish that came out last fall. I bought it as soon as I saw it.... and never wore it. Sigh. Anyway, I finally tried it and was a tad disappointed. I was expecting more shimmer and sparkle but it's still pretty. 3 thin coats. 

 

Finally,  Purple Haste, a deep purple creme with blue shimmer. This came out at the same time as In A Flurry. This was 2 easy coats.

February Untrieds: China Glaze Spam!

Hey guys!

Today's Untrieds Post is a little bit of spam from one of my faaaavorite brands, China Glaze. Of course, you have to go see what Amanda and Sarah are posting! 

Urban-Night is a plum creme polish. I love this color, I don't wear purple like very often but it's so so pretty. This was 2 perfectly wonderful coats, no topcoat.

Next,Jolly Holly, which is from a Christmas collection a few years back. I found this polish shopping with my friend Jamie and had to have this green. I mean... look at it!! It's stunning!

Finally, Turned Up Turquoise... DISCLAIMER! This polish is about 50% brighter green/turquoise in person but my camera was freaking out and this is what was translated to the pixels.This is a super fun color, especially for spring and summer! I used 3 thin coats.

Under my lightbox (a tiny bit more accurate but still not as bright!)

Well,  that's all folks!

Talk to you soon!
