China Glaze Loco Motive

Hey guys!
                                                                                                                                Nothing To Disclose

I have half of the China Glaze All Aboard collection for you today!! Whoo! Or should I say "choo choo!!"? Bahaha!

Let's start with the inspiration for my fantastic joke, Choo Choo Choose You. This is a lovely green to golden to purpleish multichrome and it's much prettier in person. When I saw promo shots for this, I didn't even pay attention to it but it's lovely! This was 3 thin coats.

Mind the Gap is a golden green bronzey color with some shimmer. This was 3 thin coats.

Well Trained is a dark teal creme. This was two easy coats.

One Track Mind is amazing and I love it and this was 2 coats. OMG THAT COLOR. I can't help it: I'm a sucker for blue!

Nice Caboose! is a fuchsia/berry color. This was 2 coats.

Stop That Train! is an red orange polish with golden shimmer. This was lovely and two coats.

Loco-Motive is a black and orange polish in a clear base. This was one coat over Stop That Train!

I liked this half of the All Aboard collection! The formula's were easy to work with, as per usual for China Glaze.

Have you picked up any from the All Aboard collection? What were your favorites?

Random Spam!

Hey guys!

Here's some random spam for you :-) 

Zoya Monet over GlitterDaze Hook, Line, and Kiss Me

Maybelline Precious Pearl over Stardust Polish Sun Spots

Orly Flawless Flush, 2 coats. 

Essence Glitz & Glam over Orly Flawless Flush, 1 coat.

Essence Glitz & Glam over a Dermelect color that I can't find, lol. 1 coat.

Do you guys like spam posts? I have so many polishes waiting to be swatched and posted but most of them are not current so this is the best way for me to justify having so much nail polish, lol!!

Stardust Polish Classy Chassis, Ginned Up, & In Cahoots

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Press Sample

Today I have three polishes from Stardust Polish to share with you! Now, you see those buttons up top that disclose how I paid for or received things? Well, I'm not sure how to disclose these so I'll just type it out: I swapped for them! I was able to meet up with Drema from Stardust Polish and we swapped some polish for some of my nail polish jewelry! I felt like a pioneer :-p Anyway, I just wanted to let that be known so I could be honest and transparent about how these were acquired!

These three polishes are a slight texture and super extra gorgeous!! First is Classy Chassis, a dark red jelly with glitter. This was three coats and one coat of top coat. The second picture shows two coats of topcoat.

Ginned Up is a dark berry colored jelly. Again, this was 3 coats and two coats of topcoat.

In Cahoots is an emerald green jelly. Three coats, and two coats of top coat. Ugh, this is so pretty that I can't even stand it!

Well these are basically perfect "Amanda" colors: deep, jelly, glitters, and soooo shiny with topcoat!

You can purchase Stardust Polish here!

HPB Oct. Halloween Mani Link-Up

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today's bonus post is a Link-Up with the Hobby Polish Bloggers! Not sure what that means? Well, let me tell you a little bit about the HPB! HPB is a group of bloggers who blog primarily for fun or blog more casually. It's a group that can provide feedback and support.Something that is sometimes much needed in the blogging world! The group is a positive place, and any sort of rude or snarky comments towards others are simply not welcome. 

Now, I wasn't really sure what I was going to do because I'm not super into Halloween. But I knew I wanted to start with This beauty from China Glaze (and that I also received in a recent HPB swap!) so I decided to lay down the base (get it? Bahahah!) and go from there. 

This is two coats of China Glaze Choo Choo Choose You from the All Aboard fall collection and it's just lovely! So much prettier in person, as I couldn't capture the color shift. It looks purple in some lights, green in others, and golden in others. 

So.... what did I add to this? Guys... I pulled out the crackle. Yep. CRACKLE. I went super easy and added a coat of orange crackle and guess what? I kinda loved it. My friend Amanda (@GlitterBadass) have been saying for months that we were going to bring crackle back because we had so much of it and why not? Crackle can be cool once again!! I've since seen several bloggers crackling their manicures so they must have had the same thought!

I used Color Club Explosion which, I am ashamed to admit, was an untried. Yep. That's right. Anyway, I really like this! It looks pumpkiny without being all PUMPKIN! LOL

Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Halloween Polishes

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Ready for some Fuzzy Coat polishes? Then keep on reading :-)

First, some real talk: I don't really like bar glitters. They just get in the way of my obsession with circle glitters. However, these bar glitters are shorter than typical bar glitters and made application and removal much easier.

Both polishes were quite dense and covered nicely in one coat!

Sally Hansen Fur-ankenstein is a black and lime green bar glitter. This is one coat over SH OMGhost.

Witch-ful Thinking is orange and black bar glitter. Again, one coat over SH OMGhost.

The Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat polishes retail for $5.99 and can be found at most drugstores and retail stores.

SInfulColors Halloween Polishes

Hey guys!

Press Sample

I have some Halloween SinfulColors to share with you today! There are 14 "spooktacular" shades and I have 4 and a Glow In the Dark topcoat to share with you!

In the interest of consistency, I layered one coat of each polish over Sally Hansen Pumpkin Queen, SH Night Fright, and SH OMGhost and I did use a topcoat for the swatches below.

First is Pumpkin Spice. This is a gold and red glitter in a clear base.

Next is Splatter Spell, which is black and orange flecks of assorted glitter sizes. Obviously, this looks best over the orange and white polishes :-)

Mystery Moonshine is a multi-colored confetti type of glitter.

Cauldron Couture is a green and black glitter.

This is my sad attempt at a glow in the dark manicure picture using the GITD topcoat I was sent. Rest assured, the top coat works much better than it photographs, lol.

There are 14 shades in all, and they can be found at Walgreens and Target for $1.99!

China Glaze Boundary of Memory

Hey guys!

                                                                                                                                Nothing To Disclose

China Glaze recently released The Giver collection and I was going to be really good and not buy any polishes from that collection but then I saw swatches of this and I was like........yep. Come to momma.

Boundary of Memory is a black, gold, brown, microglitter beauty. This was two coats, with top coat and it's just about perfect. I la-la-la-la-love this so much. Like... so much.

I am still seeing The Giver collection at my Sally's and Ulta's but I imagine it won't be around for long so check it out soon!!
