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!

All That Glitters Holiday, Celebrate Collection Swatches and Review!

It's FRIDAY! Hallelujah! I am getting my hair cut and colored today and I am so ready for some me time AKA a break from my crazy 2 year old!!

I've got a fun bunch of polish to show you all today. All That Glitters has created a fantastic holiday collection called Holiday, Celebrate! There's 9 polishes and I have them all to show you today:

First, is Goody Gumdrops. I layered one coat over Zoya Areej. The glitters spread very easily and look so good together.

Autumn Bomb is exactly what it sounds like! I layered one coat over China Glaze Trendsetter.

 Next, is Lights in the Night. One easy coat over China Glaze Ride the Waves. I placed the stars but they came out of the bottle without too much effort. This has a fine shimmer in the base...very pretty.

Spottie Dottie Holiday is one of my faves. All That Glitters has a few different versions of Spottie Dotties and the combo of bar and hex glitters can't be beat! Definitely my favorite type of glitter. The bars were a little curly but I was able to lay them flat without any issues. I layered one coat over Essie Penny Talk.

I love this next one! Eggnog Wasted just makes me happy. I layered one super easy coat over Color Club Pretty in Platinum.

 Cool Yule is perfect for the winter season. I layered one coat over Sally Hansen Insta Dri
Blue Me Away.

What the Elf? is a funky one (in a good way!). I layered one coat over Zoya Monica.

 Pinch of Grinch is pretty awesome. It's got a pearly base with sort of a blue flash. I layered one coat over China Glaze Holly Day to try and bring that out but my pics aren't really showing it. I was really impressed with the formula of this one because I didn't have to try and place the stars... they came out on their own! That's a first. :)

And finally, we have Killer Icicle! I layered one coat over China Glaze Elephant Walk. The iridescent glitters are really fun in this.

Since this was a super long (but awesome!) post, here's a recap:

Tell me your favorites!

Jindie Nails- New Polishes For Winter -Swatches!

Hi readers!!

I have a fun post for you today and I am excited to share these polishes you! They come from Jindie Nails, a favorite shop of mine for many reasons, including: quality, creativity, and customer service. Jen of Jindie Nails is overflowing with all these things and it really shows in what she has to offer in her shop. So sit back and enjoy some eye candy...here's what's on tap for today:

Snow Angels makes me weak! I love minty/aqua shades and the mixture of glitters in this is just perfection. This is in a pastel teal "crelly" base and the pink glitters are actually dots! Love love love. I layered 2 coats over China Glaze Aquadelic.

Let's Get this Party Started is a fun one. This has a hot pink shimmery base with a blue flash to it. This one has dots also! I layered one coat over Zoya Lara. The large iridescent glitters didn't want to photograph well and they look a lot better in person than they do here.

Next, is Talk Nerdy To Me. How cute is this? I layered 2 easy coats over LA Splash Pink Sand. This milky pink base could probably build up to full coverage without any underwear also.

Bells and Whistles is a fave of mine. All the shades of purple glitters work so well together and the butterflies just complete this! This has such a pretty lilac shimmery base so I decided to layer it over China Glaze Sweet Hook in 2 coats.

If you follow Jindie Nails on Facebook, I am sure you have seen the buzz on the next 2 polishes I am about to show you. That's because there is neon translucent glitter involved!

The first is called Swoon. Perfect name because it's a swoon-worthy polish! ;) Swoon is made up of a pale blue "crelly" base with blue dots and hex glitters and of course the neons. I did 2 coats over Kleancolor Pastel Blue. A note about these neon glitters: At first I thought they were sparse in the bottle because they weren't coming out on the brush very easily, but once looking inside the bottle, there are plenty of them (plus Jen doesn't hold back on glitter in her creations!). These neons are super thin and I think that makes it a little hard for them to maneuver themselves naturally onto the brush. So I did end up placing most of these, but I think you will agree that it is very worth it!

The next polish with the neon glitters is called Candy Land. This is one original polish! It's so happy and I love looking at it! This has a white milky base and I didn't want to detract from that so I layered it over Essie Marshmallow. The same as above goes for this polish also, I did place a lot of these. Most of the time that would bother me, but for a polish this awesome I really don't mind!

Next up, is Zomboy. This was an unexpected fave of mine. It's a gorgeous blue "crelly" shimmer base with pink and blue glitters. I layered 2 easy coats over China Glaze Ride the Waves. So pretty!

And that's it! Here's a little recap of the swatches you saw today:

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!

Your turn! Tell me your favorites of the bunch!

Different Dimension Swatches Part I

Hey readers!

I hope you are having a fab Wednesday. Halfway through the week! 

I've got some eye candy from Different Dimension for you today! I have been admiring this shop from afar for a while now and am so happy to finally get the chance to try some out as well as share them with you. I will be featuring Different Dimension's products in 3 separate posts so it doesn't get too overwhelming (in a good way! haha).

Ok! First, is Sparkles Like Edward: a sheer but buildable shimmery base with the cutest combo of small glitters. I did one effortles coat over Essie Navigate Her. This polish will only be around until 11.16, which is the release date of the final Twilight movie...you don't want to miss out on this one!

Shimmery bases like this are my weakness!

Warm Fuzzies is the perfect holo for fall! It's milk chocolate brown. I was able to get full coverage in 2 coats. Here it is in indirect light:

And direct light:

Here, we have My Bear. This is also a milk chocolate-y base but with shimmer as well as bronze and orange glitters. Another great choice for the season! I pretty much had full coverage in one coat with this one which is awesome.

So besides shimmery bases I love cool toned teal colors, so Un-Teal We Meet Again is an automatic fave of mine! And the formula was perfect. This is one coat of it over Kleancolor Pastel Teal. No placing extra glitter or anything...if only all glitters could apply like this one!

Next is Spencer. This is made up of superfine glitters in a slightly red tinted base. This can be layered in one coat or full coverage in 3, which is what I did here. I love the effect the holo glitters in this polish have. Definitely a standout!

And finally, we have Fall Me Maybe...cute name! I layered one coat over Banana Republic Plum Pudding. This one looks to have dried a little bumpy, but that's nothing that some Gelous can't fix! I love this color combo...obviously perfect for fall. :)

Here's a little recap of my swatches:
