A England Swatches

Hey guys! Happy... Thursday? I think? LOL

How's about some A England spam for you?? Okay!

First up, Dragon, a breathtaking green holo. I should say right off the bat that I didn't have sunlight for any of these so the holo is not as awesome in these photos as it really can be. But this was one glorious coat! Gah!!! 



 Princess Sabra is a beautiful gold holo. Again, one coat!


 Camelot is a one coater black creme. So so shiny! 

Finally, Lancelot is a blackened red. It pretty much looks black most of the time but I don't even care because it still has a perfect formula.




Talk to you soon!

Pink Wednesday with Zoya's!

Hey guys!

I have a couple of pink Zoya's for you today! First, Layla, a BRIGHT AS THE SUN pink creme. Trust me when I say that this is not even close to as pink as it looks in real life. YOWSERS!

I used 2 perfect Zoya coats. And my index finger is shiny because it was still wet because I totally dinged it. Yeah.




Next, an exclusive Zoya color to FabFitFun, which is an online newsletter and now a subscription box. This fuchsia color is their FFF color!

I used 2 coats for this baby.

KBShimmer Swatches

Hey guys!

I have a few of the newest KBShimmer polishes to show you today. These are from her spring collection and of course, I bought all the polishes with circle glitters :-)

First up, Lottie Dottie. This is a white base with aqua/blue and pink circle glitters. I used 2 coats over white. I didn't have to fish around for any glitters, so yay! 



This is Lottie Dottie with KBShimmer Clearly On Top top coat. Ohhh shiny! 

Next, Get Clover It, a green jelly with blue and gold circle glitters.  It looks like delicious jelly money.

I used 3 thin coats, no top coat.




What do you think of these babies? I love them. and all polishes should have circle glitter. Fo' Sho'.

Talk to you soon!

Black Cat Lacquer The Dream of the 90's is Alive

Hey guys!

How was your weekend? Mine was good, the weather was gorgeous and I did a vendor fair on Saturday for my nail polish jewelry. I did pretty well and have some stuff to list on my Etsy shop, so be on the lookout for some new pieces in the coming weeks!! And you know I'm probably going to have a coupon code for ya ;-)

Black Cat Lacquer has some pretty awesome polishes, particularly glitters, so when I saw this (or Amanda showed this to me, I can't remember), I knew I needed it.

I layered two thin coats of this sheer gray based polish over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, aka my most favorite white. I loved this. This sounds like a horrible thing to say but it made me feel like I was wearing garbage on my nails, BUT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE! I know, it makes no sense at all. But I really really loved this manicure and wore it for about 4 days. That's basically an eternity in my world.

Pretty Me Polish Royal You

Hey guys! How is your weekend going so far? I'm pretty excited, I'm doing a vendor show today with Polish Findings.... hopefully it will be fun and successful!!

Let's continue the holo goodness, shall we?

I have a new to me indie brand called Pretty Me Polish to share with you today!

I saw these polishes...somewhere... I can't remember where. Anyway, I checked out her shop and she has linear holos? Sold. I ordered two and you get the first one today :-)

Royal You is a fabulous royal blue linear holo. This baby is holo magic. I used 2 coats, it had a near perfect formula and you get to see like 5 pictures because I couldn't choose.





Umm, gorgeous! I love it! But what do you think?

Talk to you soon!

Layla Coffee Love and Cloudy Violet

Hey guys!

Coffee Love and Cloudy Violet are the most recent Layla holo's. In my opinion, the formula is much better but the holo effect is not as good. Oh well, they are still pretty!

I used two coats of each, no top coat. 

Coffee Love:





Cloudy Violet:

Jade Energy

Hey guys! I don't know what the weather is like for you, but it's perfectly gorgeous here! I am so distracted by the sunshine, I keep forgetting to blog! Whoops!

More holo love today. This is Jade Energy, a beautiful green holo. It's more linear in person, but I had crappy lighting and no sunlight at the time of swatching. Boo. (I swatched these a few weeks ago, before all of the sunshine, of course)

This is 3 thin coats. 






Talk to you soon!
