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!

Snowman Nail Art ft Sinful Colors Superstar

Good evening!

Just a quick post tonight but I think you will like it. I was so excited to find the Sinful Colors holiday polishes in Walgreens a while back. Normally, I'm kinda bored by what they have to offer but a lot of these really caught my eye and Superstar was one of those. I layered one coat over Zoya Robyn. I LOVE the flecks in this...sooo pretty!

Superstar was the perfect backdrop for some winter nail art. Dustin gets all the credit for the fantastic snowman. He freehanded it and it looks adorable! 

Are you guys ready for Christmas? It's almost here! I've got my shopping done, just gotta wrap it all now. ;)

Girly Bits Swatches

Hello readers!

I had the opportunity to try some polish from Girly Bits for the first time and I am sharing them with you now! 

First, is Sailors Delight. I love the shimmer this has! This could easily work as a layering polish also. Below I did 4 easy coats and I know that sounds like a lot but the formula was easy to work with so it wasn't a chore. :) 

Next is Smurf Dance. I believe this one has been discontinued, but you may still be able to find it somewhere. I really love this...the combination of glitters in this is perfect. I love the tiny holo glitters...I feel like they add the perfect finishing touch. I layered one coat over Orly Frisky.

And finally, Ornamental My Dear Watson. What a creative name! This was one coat over Zoya Natty. I really loved this, more than I thought I would! The glitter is packed in there and spread perfectly.  Gorgeous!

I am definitely a fan of Girly Bits! I loved these polishes all for different reasons.

Do you guys have any polishes from Girly Bits? What are your thoughts on these ones I have shown you today?

You can purchase Girly Bits *here* (however, they are currently closed for the holidays) and follow them on Facebook *here*.

Zoya Ornate Collection

I don't own many Zoya polishes, because generally they are difficult for me to get.  When I first saw swatches of this collection, I knew I needed to get the entire lot of them so I jumped onto ebay and snatched them up as soon as they were released.

I'm not going to go into too much description about each shade, as many before me have already done that.  I'll just show you my swatches, and for three of the shades (Aurora, Blaze and Storm) I've got some comparison photos against Ozotics and Picture Polish.

Logan - gorgeous!  I can't decided if I love this one or Ivanka more - they are both so perfect. I did three different swatches of this, cause I just wasn't happy with my photos.

Electra - if you had to call one polish from this collection a dud. this would be it.  Silver holographic bars in a clear base.  Makes a nice sparkly topper, although it's almost too opaque on it's own to be a top coat.  This is two coats of Gelicious Gold Digger.

Aurora - A red toned purple large particle scattered holographic polish.  Beautiful. This is three coats with Seche Vite.

Zoya Aurora comparison with Ozotic 624.  The holographic effect is very similar, the Zoya is slightly darker and more red toned.

Blaze - a raspberry red with scattered holo effect. So juicy and squishy.  This is three coats with Seche Vite.  The holo particle in this one seem a little finer, although I just think it's the red jelly base playing tricks with me.

Zoya Blaze compared to the new version of Picture Polish Monroe. Monroe is more of a blood red and Blaze is more raspberry.  The holo particles show up a bit better in Monroe.

Storm - black with scatter holo, two coats with Seche Vite.

Zoya Storm compared with Ozotic 623.  The holo particles in Storm are more noticeable, probably because the Ozotic is much more opaque.  The Ozotic is pretty much a one coater.  If it were thinned it would sparkle more.

Ziv - WOW, this quite possibly could be my new favourite gold.  It's just so reflective and shiny and I love that it's a cooler toned gold and not too yellow.

I really, really love this collection from Zoya.  I've not bought any other full holiday collection this year except this one (oh and Pretty Serious', but I'm buying all her polishes no matter what!)

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*.
