I Love Nail Polish: Day 2!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Welcome to another day of ILNP week!

All of these polishes had very good formulas and were super super easy to apply. No pooling, streaking, or patchiness whatsoever.

Ten Fold is described as a minty green holo. This was 2 coats, no top coat.

1UP is a bright green holo. I love greens like this, they are so vibrant and fun! 2 coats.

Harbour Island is described as a caribbean blue color and LOOK AT THE COLOR! AHHHHHH dead. I love this color. This is 3 coats, as this is a more sheer, jelly type of polish.

Float On is a bright aquamarine blue. 3 coats. Surprising to no one, this is another favorite!

Are you guys enjoying ILNP week?? Come back tomorrow for the last day!!

Talk to you soon!

I Love Nail Polish Summer 2015

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Welcome to another Indie Feature Week! This week, we are all about I Love Nail Polish and the Summer '15 polishes! I don't have the whole collection but I have most of the holos, because you know how I roll :-p Since there are so many polishes, I'm going to break it up to a few per post, so as not to overwhelm your minds with all of the HOLO GOODNESS!! So let's get to it!

All of these polishes had very good formulas and were super super easy to apply. No pooling, streaking, or patchiness whatsoever.

I See You is a champagne holo. This was 2 coats. You can obviously still see my nail but I sort of liked the idea of this being a little more sheer, since the color is so delicate.

Summer Crush is a bubblegum pink with scattered holo. This was 2 coats.

Closure is described as an apple red with holographic. I personally love this, it's difficult to find a red holo and while I wouldn't consider this a full on red, it's very very close and really pretty. 3 coats.

Walking Home is dark purple holo. This was 2 coats.

Stay tuned for the rest of the ILNP swatches this week!

Talk to you soon!

Twinsie Tuesday: Shiny & Matte Combo

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Heeyyyyyyyy so this is not really as matte and shiny as I would have liked but we're rolling with it, mmmkay? Okay.

I used 2 coats of Colores de Carol Aster as my base color, which was a limited edition polish and is now sold out.... sorrrrry!

Then I applied some nail vinyls from..... a brand.... that I cannot remember (whoops. They don't label the back of the vinyl, I can't remember all of these things!) and applied CdC 50K. Initially I tried to matte the holo and shiny topcoat the dots but that wasn't happening so I slapped matte topcoat on the ring finger and guess what, you still can't tell it's matte! Sigh. Whatever, I give up lol.

Be sure to check out the rest of the twinsies shiny and matte manicures!

Rimmel Keep Calm & Lip Balm - Review

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Today I have some new lip balms from Rimmel to share with you! There are 5 available shades and I have three to share with you. These are "nourishing balms with a fresh hint of tint".

These retail for $2.50 and are available at chain drug stores and mass retailers nationwide! Let's take a look!

The three shades I have are
Top: Keep Calm and Rock (berry blush)
Middle: Keep Calm and Play (rose blush)
Bottom: Keep Calm and Party (violet blush).

The texture of these is very smooth and the sheer tint is perfect for everyday use. They apply like a regular balm but add a little pizazz. There is a mild berry scent to the balms, which I do not find overpowering. I think this would be a great lip balm to check out and you can't beat it for the price! $2.50!

Colores de Carol Summer Fun Collection

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have the summer collection from Colores de Carol today!

SPF15 is an orange yellow or as I like to say "yorange", heehee. This was a bit streaky so I did 3 coats.

Tan Lines is orange but almost a pinky orange in person. This was also three coats.

Bright Shorts is a hot pink; this was brighter in person and more vibrant. 3 coats.

Flip My Flops is a purple neon. This had a little better formula that the previous polishes so I only needed 2 coats.

Watching Clouds is a bright sky blue. 3 coats. I have no idea what was happening to my camera this night but I was missing pictures and half of the photos were blurry. Maybe I should stop swatching at night, lol!

Kiwi Popsicle is a lime green, but I should really say a bright kiwi green, right? This was 3 coats.

What do you think?

Frenzy Polish Gamer Girl Polishes

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have 3 polishes from the Frenzy Polish Gamer Girls collection to share with you today. These are my first Frenzy Polishes and I mean, can we just look at the little fox on the label?? I die of cuteness.

Catching Fire Flies is a dark green with green, gold, blue assorted hexes and glitters. This is a really beautiful color, I used two coats that were very easy to apply. It's packed with glitter but not so much that it looks clumpy on the nail. Love it! It does dry a bit matte so I added topcoat.

Blue Screen of Death is a cobalt blue glow in the dark glitter polish. I didn't actually realize this was GITD until I had already removed it so I don't have a GITD picture to share with you, lol. Whoops. I did 3 coats but if I had been more careful and used thicker coats, this would have been opaque in two.

/ragequit is a really interesting color, it's a blackened maroon color with blue and red and maybe green flakies. This was 2 coats plus topcoat.

So these are awesome and I would like more Frenzy Polishes. Yeah. Have you tried this brand before? What are your favorite Frenzy polishes?

Talk to you soon!

Virago Varnish Swatches

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

This entire post is to be blamed on JessFace90 on YouTube. I recently discovered her channel (and also discovered that she's from Michigan!) and I have a lot of purchases to blame on her beautiful swatches.

Virago Varnish is a brand that I've been following for a while but hadn't taken the plunge to purchase yet and wow, why did I wait so long??

Rhapsody is a blue micro glitter with holo mixed throughout. Oh. My. Gosh. This is so gorgeous. I originally set out to swatch all 5 of these polishes at once and had to stop after each one because they were too pretty to remove! This was 2 coats and 2 coats of topcoat.

Seduction is basically just..... ab;kajdfhdaklfgflkbAJDFadfkhsdgadg gorgeous. This was two coats and two coats of topcoat. Like... I can't even. 

Stellar is a blue and purple micro holographic glitter in a clear base. Ughhhhh I don't think pictures even do these justice, this was gorgeous. Allllmost opaque in two coats but the glitters are so holographic and reflective that the tiny bit of nail that was visible was not noticeable, so I added a topcoat and called it good.

Glamorous is a black jelly base with holographic glitters. Guys. Like... just go buy these. They are so incredibly gorgeous. I can't even explain it, lol. This was two coats with topcoat.

So yeah. These are amazing. I want all of the colors in the world to be made into this formula of nail polish because it's stunning.
