Nail'd It Swatches

Hey guys!

I have some swatches from Nail'd It to show you real quick today. You are really missing out if you haven't seen any of their creations before! I have 2 to show you today, but definitely like the Facebook page to see even more pretties. I am swooning over what she's got in store for this winter and spring.

First is Blue Man Goop. No underwear needed, which is sometime refreshing to see in an indie brand. :) Can't go wrong with a blue and purple polish either!

And this is Snowman's Nightmare. Love the name and the actual polish is pretty sweet. I think the combination of shapes and colors is perfect for what the title conveys. I layered once coat over China Glaze Blue Year's Eve.

What do you think of these? Do you own any polishes from Nail'd It?

Laquerlicious Polish Swatches and Review

Happy New Year's Eve readers!

Do you all have fun plans to ring in the new year? I wish I could say I did...I always want an excuse to get all dressed up and go on glitter overload with my makeup. haha I think it will be a quiet night at home with some fondue, which is fun. :)

So I've got an indie shop to share with you today called Lacquerlicious. I really love what I have been able to try out and I think you guys will be impressed as well!

First up is Disgruntled Elf. I think it's safe to say that this is my favorite of the 4 I was sent for review. I layered one coat over Essie Navigate Her. Looks just like a frosted sugar cookie with sprinkles! I wore this as a full mani for a couple of days and got so many compliments!

Next is Rainbow Sugar. I think this name is perfect for what this looks like! I layered one coat over China Glaze Sweet Hook. Check out the tiny shimmer in the base! Love this one.

This is Stained Glass. I know I keep saying this, but I am loving this one as well! The combo of glitters is pretty awesome and definitely brings to mind a stained glass window. I layered one coat over OPI Fly.

And finally, here is Mocha Sprinkles. I layered one coat over Zoya Areej. My camera kinda spazzed out trying to capture this, so I don't think I did Mocha Sprinkles justice. You can tell from my close up that this is a pretty original combination of glitters!

So that's it! 

Have you heard of Laquerlicious before? What are your faves out of the ones I showed you today?

Laquerlicious can be purchased on Etsy and followed on Facebook. Be sure to check it out, you won't be disappointed!

More Christmas Manis!

Hey everyone!

It's been a while for me! I took some time off this past week to celebrate the holidays with my family...but I am back now and ready to be back in the normal pattern of life again. :) I'm showing you some holiday looks I wore over the past week. Again, these photos aren't my best and I look forward to being able to truly focus on blogging again  and presenting you with the standard you know from me.

First is Crooked Star from Darling Diva. I layered this over China Glaze Running in Circles which is freaking awesome....everyone needs it!

Next is Tree-mendous from Lush Lacquer layered over Orly Fresh. Still got the broken pinky nail, unfortunately.

And finally, a little stamping! I don't do this enough anymore. This is such a fun look but my topcoat smeared it. :(

I will probably have another post like this to wrap up my holiday manis and then I will be back to what I do best, hopefully! 

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

Winter Fail Manis :)

Good evening everyone!

This post is a bit out of my comfort zone...manis I'm not so proud of. haha I broke a nail and so some of these pics leave the pinky out... and that doesn't look very good. The photography is not my personal best either. But I can't stand not posting what I took time to paint and take pics of, so here they are anyway! 

This is Kleancolor Winter Wonderland. I have to say that I think this is one of my favorite Kleancolors. I love the combo of colored glitters in the fleck-y base. This photo doesn't do it justice.

Next is Lush Lacquer's Snow Angel. This is so pretty and could work for a topper any time of the year. I layered this over OPI The Spy Who Loved Me. Perfect for Christmas, I think!

And finally, this is China Glaze Winter Holly (LOVE this glitter!) with an accent nail of OPI Goldeneye (SUPER sparkly!) with an argyle design stamped on top. You can't tell me this 3 finger thing isn't weird...it's throwing me off just looking at it! haha

Alright, so now you know that I am not perfect (although I strive for it when it comes to this blog!). haha But I liked the manis enough to share. Thanks for loving me even when I post weirdness like tonight! :)

Lush Lacquer Ho Ho Holidays + Glitter Nail Art

Hello!

My trend this week seems to be posting in the evenings. Better late than never, right? :)

I really liked this mani...my husband on the other hand, not so much. haha He's such a perfectionist about my blog sometimes and my not so great paint job on this mani was a bit bothersome to him. At least he cares! haha

Anyway, I used China Glaze I'm With the Lifeguard over a white base and then layered Lush Lacquer Ho Ho Holidays over that. My accent nail is China Glaze Poinsettia with some green holo glitters placed along the length of my nail. I wanted to go into more detail placing these glitters in a more intricate design, but my patience was running thin working with them!

How perfect is Ho Ho Holidays for Christmas time?!

Chirality Nail Polish Swatches and Review

Hello hello!

Today's post is featuring polish from Chirality, an indie brand. If you like holos, you will like Chirality!

Before we get to the holos though, you can't be an indie without having glitter! ;) Kidding! You can, but it's not common!

So first up is Engineers. This is one coat over Zoya Natty. I love the effect this has...kind of like a night sky.

And next is Suspiria. This is one coat over China Glaze Make Some Noise. Fun combo and I am loving the squares in this!

And now for the holos! As a note, all of these were 2 coats.

This is The Symbiote, an awesome black holo. Here it is in shade and the next photo shows direct sunlight.

I love teal, so Cu2+ is a favorite for me. Once again, shade and sunlight pics.

And finally, a pretty purple holo called Apollonia. Love the holo effect these have!

The best part about these holos? A full size bottle is only $7! Very affordable, which means you can stock up. ;) 

Have you purchased from Chirality before? Do you have any favorites from the ones I have shown you today?

You can find Chirality on Big Cartel *here* and on Facebook *here*.

Jindie Nails Winter Chic Collection Swatches and Review!

Hey lovely readers!

I think it's safe to say the holiday season is in full swing. I've got a few loose ends to wrap up with my gift shopping and I am just gonna sit back, relax, and have fun with my family after that!

I've got another amazing collection from Jindie Nails to share with you guys today! This one is called Winter Chic and let me tell you - you guys are in for a treat! Let's check it out!

Burrberry is fabulous! I layered 2 easy coats over Milani White on the Spot (which is a fantastic white creme by the way!).

Next, is Strawberry Cupcake. A girly girl's dream! I layered 2 coats over OPI Pink Friday. Also, check out the super  pretty blue shimmer in this!

Dream in Color is super fun. I layered a coat over Sinful Colors Black on Black. It applies a little patchy so it takes some skill to achieve an even coat. This can also be full coverage in 3 coats.

 Yule Love This has dots! And yes, I do love this. ;) Remember when it was a big deal for a polish to have squares in it? I think dots are the new squares. The subtle difference from hex glitters makes an impact for sure. I layered 2 coats over Milani White on the Spot.

This is Honey Blue Blue. This is one coat over Orly Frisky.  I think this would be so cute with some snowflake nail art!

Here is Barbies Have More Fun. I used Milani White on the Spot again with 2 coats of BHMF.  Very cute!

 And finally, we have Battle Royale. This is one coat over China Glaze Ride the Wave. The formula was awesome for this...one coat and all the glitter dispersed evenly!

And for a quick recap:

So there you have it! Which ones are you eyeing? Or maybe you already have some of these?

Jindie Nail's shop is currently on vacation to catch up on orders, so be sure to follow her on Facebook to know when she is planning to open back up!
