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*.

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*.

Nabi Nail Lacquer Swatches and Review

Hey readers! 

Happy Monday! ;) I have some swatches of 6 Nabi brand polishes to show you today. I have heard of the brand but never used it before now. It's always fun trying new brands! These were actually sent to me for review by a new site that has polish, cosmetics, and other accessories called MyWholesaleFashion.com.


Jumbo Pink Glitter is full of iridescent glitters in a pink tinted base.  I layered this over China Glaze Hang Ten Toes. I think this would look pretty awesome over a dark color to really bring out the iridescence. 



Next is Pink Moon Star (creative name, huh?).  This is sort of like the Jumbo Pink Glitter but without the large iridescent glitters. Instead you get holo silver moon and star glitters! These came out of the bottle pretty easily but had to be fished for a bit...nothing new with shape glitters. I layered this over Zoya Kimber.



Next, we have Multi Color Glitter. Not exactly a multi color glitter but a fun combo nonetheless. My favorite part are the pink and blue glitters spread throughout as well as the fine silver glitter. I did some dabbing to place a few of these glitters. This is one coat over Color Club Positively Posh.



Beige is an unexpected favorite. I think this is super pretty even if it's simple. I did 3 coats to get even coverage.


Hot Red is an almost jelly. The formula was great and I barely needed 2 coats to cover. Love how shiny this one is!


And finally, we have Julia a pearl shade. At first I thought this was going to be a sheer layering polish but it was opaque enough for full coverage in 3 coats. Very winter appropriate!


And that's it! Again, you can find these and many more polishes at MyWholesaleFashion.com at great prices. Go check them out!

Have you tried Nabi polish before? What are your favorites?

New Shimmer Polish Swatches!

Hello my lovely readers! 

I'm back from a bit of sporadic posting during the holiday weekend but I've got lots to show you coming up so I should be around for a while!

I'm sure most of you have heard of Shimmer polish, an indie brand. I have previously featured this brand quite a few times now and haven't been disappointed yet! This next group I am about to show you is no exception. So let's get right to it!

This is one coat of Elsa over Dr.'s Remedy Bold Baby Blue. 3 coats would definitely give you a full coverage look.



Next, is Sonia. One coat over Orly Buried Alive. This one is my favorite of this group because of the iridescent glitters in it. They really add something to this already pretty polish!




Jasmine is a fun one. I believe this is 2 coats over OPI Fly. Love the coverage this gets in only 2 coats!




Here is Fanny layered over Zoya Rory in one coat. I love pink, so this is an automatic fave for me!



And finally, we have Jenny. I know I keep saying this, but I love this one! It looks amazing here over China Glaze Blue Year's Eve. What a fun combo of glitters!




What are your favorites of this bunch?

 I previously featured Shimmer *here*, *here*, *here* AND *here* haha. So check those links for even more swatches!

You can shop Shimmer's Etsy shop *here* and on their blog *here* and like them on Facebook *here*!
