Sation Nail Lacquer Swatches and Review

Hi guys!

Today I get to share with you a brand that is new to me but I am sure most of you have heard of it. That  brand is Sation Nail Lacquer. I was super impressed by these. Let's get a little more detailed, shall we?



First up is Front Row Flasher. This is pretty much one coat and has a pretty subtle shimmer. It's a little more orange toned than this picture shows. 


 I layered I Love Miss-Self over Front Row Flasher. One coat is all this took to cover! This is one packed glitter.



I was surprised at how totally gorgeous RV There Yet? turned out to be. Once again, one coat gets the job done.


RV There Yet? got topped off with Twinkle, Twinkle Big Star. A blingy glitter, also packed with a creative assortment of sizes and colors.



3 Free-dom is a lovely light grey jelly! It took 3-4 coats for full coverage, as is expected with this type of finish.


3 Freedom got topped off with Fake It Till You Make It. One coat was all this loaded glitter needed! I am loving the tiny bar glitters...so fun!



Here's a quick recap:


Overall, I am very impressed with Sation's polish. The bottles are large and sturdy, definitely not cheap. The brush is wide- sort of similar to OPI. And the formula and selection of shades/finishes is pretty great too!

Do you own any polish from Sation? Which ones stand out to you from this group?

Sation can be purchased from Miss Professional Nail *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!

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!
