Pretty Serious Stop Collaborate And Listen Collection

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Pretty Serious recently released a trio of collaboration polishes with 3 bloggers and that's what we're looking at tah-day.

Kashmir is dark purple jelly with gold and copper microflakies. This was 3 thin coats and it had a nice formula, no pooling. This was created by Christine of Serenity Nails.

Iktsuarpok was created by Hannah of Polly Polish. This is medium gray with silver flakies. This is quite different and unique and I love it. This was 3 thin coats. And since I had no clue how to pronounce this work, I googled it and thought you would like that info too, lol.

Herald of the Skeleton War was created by Scrangie. This looks like a black based polish but it's a green jelly with purple and green glitter and blue flakies. So so pretty and really different. I used three coats and it was a bit chunky on the 3rd coat due to the flakie glitters. I also used a top coat.

Uhmm yeah. I love Herald of the Skeleton War so much. It's so different, at least from anything I've seen. I love love love itttttt!!

Check out Pretty Serious nail polish. I love all of the PS Cosmetics polishes that I've used <3
Talk to you soon!

Twinsie Tuesday: Shimmer

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today we are sharing a shimmer manicure with you, which seems pretty easy compared to some of the other prompts we've faced, lol. I decided to shared 4 polishes in a skittle manicure so let's take a looksie!

The polishes I used are from Baroness X and these are my first from this brand. I love the attention to detail and the cabachon with the polish color on the top of each lid, that must take a LOT of extra time and I appreciate the effort!

From Index to pinky, I used:
Maracaibo
Aphelandra
Tayabak
Ornith-Goliath

I used two coats of each, and three on the pinky (Ornith-Goliath). I like skittle manicures and after photographing and editing these pictures I realized... these are thermal polishes! I had no idea, lol! I'm not usually big on thermal polishes so that feature isn't a game changer for me and I didn't even notice they changed until a full day after applying, lol! All I saw when ordering was the shimmer and flakies and neon! LOL!!

Colores De Carol Happy Hour Collection

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have the Happy Hour collection from Colores De Carol. As you might guess by the title, these are named after adult beverages and they all sound delicious and thirst quenching and I wanted all of them, lol.

Most of these were opaque in two coats but for the sake of continuity, I used three coats for all of the swatches, with no top coat. These are all holographic foil polishes, as well.

Pineapple Margarita (HOW DELICIOUS DOES THAT SOUND?!) is a beautiful yellow foil holographic. I love love love this color, it's so unique!

Papaya Sake is a coraly red. It looks like red peppers, doesn't it? So pretty.

Strawberry Bourbon Lemonade is a pinky red. Are we getting thirsty yet? I am.

Sour Grape Bellini is a dark purple, almost blue. I lurve this, no surprise.

Sea Mist Sunrise is a light teal blue.

Mint Mojito is a stinking gorgeous grass green!!

And then we have Silver Cloud Martini, a silver. This was basically amazing so you get two pictures of this polish, lol.

So yeah, these are beautiful and make me thirsty and are also just beautiful. So you should buy them.

Orly is becoming one of my favorite brands in the last year; they are just killing it and this summer collection is no different. I have 4 of the 6 polishes from the collection so let's take a look!

Fireball is a bright coral pink with some shimmer. This was 2 coats.

On The Edge is a dark blurple THAT IS ONE FREAKING COAT OHHHHMAHHHH GOSH ARE YOU SERIOUS?! So amazing.

Twinsie Tuesday: Blobicure

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today we are doing the Blobicure manicure. What's a blobicure, you ask? Well, it's basically when you paint a base color of polish and while that polish is still wet, you touch the brush of a new color onto the original color and make a blob. Yep. A blob.

So I decided to use some pretty colors and tried my Azature Chocolate Diamond and Champagne Diamond, which have been in Mount Polish for quite a while.

I used two coats of Chocolate Diamond with the little blobs of Champagne Diamond over the base. Supah glittery, right? I quite like it!

SinfulColors Having A Blast

Hey guys!

Press Sample

SinfulColors is promoting their Having A Blast collection for 4th of July and I have the polishes to show you today!

Snow Me White is a white creme, with a really nice formula. This was two coats. And clearly I am still getting used to a camera that PICKS UP EVERYTHING so excuse the cuticles and smudge. I am not even joking, it wasn't visible in person, lol!!

Green Ocean is not a new polish but is being repromoted with this collection so I layered one coat over Snow Me White.

Out Of This World is a pinky silver shimmer. This was a little sheer on the first coat but built up nicely after the second. This was two coats.

Star Blast Off is the "star" of the show (bahahaha) so I layered it over Out Of This World and each of the remaining polishes. It had a nice glitter payoff and only a little bit of fishing was required to pull out the stars.

Ruby Ruby is a classic red. This was two coats and it had a really nice, easy formula.

One coat of Star Blast Off.

Hot Spot is a shimmering cobalt blue, 2 coats.

One coat of Star Blast Off.

SinfulColors is available at Walgreens and mass retailers everywhere for $1.99!

Chaos & Crocodiles Once Upon A Unicorn Collection

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Sooooo this is going to be a very picture heavy post, be prepared!

I recently acquire the C&C Once Upon A Unicorn collection, which is just about perfect. Let's just get right to the pictures, shall we??

Forgotten Paths is a nude linear holographic polish. This was almost opaque in one coat, but I went ahead with two coats. The photos are under my light box, in natural light, and with flash.

City In The Clouds is a gorgeous sky blue linear holographic. Again, almost opaque in one coat, but I used two.

I added the holo topcoat that came with this collection, My Favorite Color Is Unicorn, for even MOAR HOLO GOODNESS!! Umm. dead. I want this topcoat over everything ever for the rest of ever.

Tropical Candy Flowers - 2 coats. Perfect formula. Wut wutttt!

Unicorn Symphony was 2 coats again, with another perfect formula!

Wishing Star Sky was 2 coats. I love this color purple, it's a dark lilac beast of a beauty.

Spun Sugar Magic was another 2 coats of holo perfection.

Uhmm... yeah. Unfortunately, this collection is sold out now and I don't know if there are plans to restock it at any time. I'm sorry!! I KNOW! I'm sorry!! If it does become available again, I would highly recommend it, the formula on all of these was just about perfect and the colors are so beautiful.
