The Polish Bar: Rainbow Jello

Hey readers! 

Today is the first sorta cooler day we have had this month...as much as I love summer, I love boots and leggings season! ;)

Today I am showing you an indie polish that comes from The Polish Bar called Rainbow Jello. I LOVE this polish! It's just so happy! I layered 2 coats of Essie Marshmallow and then 2 coats of Rainbow Jello. Marshmallow is the perfect base to show Rainbow Jello off. I tried a more opaque white first, but it didn't do this beauty justice.

So even though this is called Rainbow Jello, it reminds me a lot of Funfetti cake. More specifically, this recipe! I could practically smell these when applying this polish...I love 'em.

Rainbow Jello is the perfect combo of colors and glitters in a sparkly milky base (the tiny sparkles in the base are my fave!). I just love it. So much, that I couldn't decide between these bottle shots, so you get two. haha

 Have you guys checked out The Polish Bar before? How many of you are loving Rainbow Jello as much as me? :)

Visit The Polish Bar's Etsy shop (there is a Halloween collection!) and her Facebook page to stay updated on all things polish!

*This polish was sent to me for review in exchange for my honest opinions.

Pastel/Metallic Nail Art

Good morning! Hope you all had an awesome weekend! I got to go to see The Fray and Kelly Clarkson concert on Saturday and it was SO good! 

So I got the idea for this nail art look from Nail Stories a while back. She has got an awesome blog with great pictures and fun nail art. I loved the look of metallic with the pastel dots...it's so simple but definitely makes a statement!

Another reason I like this look is that all it takes is a dotting tool! Here are the colors I used: Orly Lemonade, OPI Pink Friday, China Glaze Peachy Keen and Sweet Hook. The base is a metallic silver from LA Colors that I got from the Dollar Store. This has a great metallic formula!

So, do you guys like this design? 

Hit Polish Shockwave

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have plans for a relaxing weekend!

I have another polish from one of my favorite indie brands to show you today. This is Shockwave from Hit Polish. I believe that this was discontinued but then brought back again because of demand. I'm glad it was because I would hate to show you a polish that you couldn't get your hands on!

I layered 1 coat over China Glaze Elephant Walk. This combo is perfect! Shockwave has an awesome formula: no digging for glitter and everything placed just right on its own. This is a very eye catching polish...love it! I also layered 1 coat of Gelous over this before my topcoat and this baby was so smooth and glassy. I get too lazy to do an extra step all the time when doing my nails, but this is sooo worth it when you want your glitter polish to really look amazing.

I love all the tiny bars in here!

Are you guys loving this polish as much as I am?

Be sure to check out Rachel's shop...she has over 60 polishes available to choose from!

Also, don't forget you have the chance to win 3 minis from Hit Polish and lots more in my Indie Extravaganza giveaway that ends in 4 days!!

Born Pretty Store Black Polish + Nail Art

Hey guys!

I recently got some items from Born Pretty Store to review and this one didn't disappoint! This is a black polish with pretty gold fleck type glitter in it. I did 2 coats here and the formula was great!

The gold fleck in this polish inspired me to continue the gold into some nail art. I have been saving this mani from ColorfulBottle for inspiration and now was the perfect time to finally make the idea reality! First, I sponged the tips with Orly Luxe and used it to stamp a cheetah print design. I love the look the fade gives to the design!

This is a pretty simple nail art idea and it marries 2 of my favorite methods of nail art! 

You can find the base polish I used *here* and the stamping plate I used *here*. 

 Don't forget, you can use code AJ10W21 to get 10% off also!

So, what do you think of this mani?

Kleancolor Chunky Holo Black

Good morning readers!

I have been a lot more in to layering than nail art lately, I hope you guys do mind! 

I recently got a bottle of Kleancolor's Chunky Holo Black. This is an awesome polish for an instant wow factor mani when you don't have a lot of time. This polish has a dark-ish base with multi sized color shifting glitters throughout. As you can see in my pics, they go from green to yellow to orange with a few colors in between if you are really looking. I am pretty sure I put 1 coat over Sally Hansen Insta Dri Grape Escape.

I think I captured most of the colors you see in this pretty glitter. It's one of those manis that you can't stop looking at!

Forever 21 Leopard Print Nail Decals

Hello guys! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Mine was relaxing and included a couple naps so that's always a plus. ;)

I was buying some jewelry online from Forever 21 recently and couldn't help but check out the nail section. They have a pretty extensive selection of nail polish at a cheap price but I was intrigued by these nail stickers and they were only $1.80 so I had to give them a try. So here is the design I chose...actually this might have been the only one.

So at first glance and from a distance these look pretty good. If you look closer though, they look kinda fake and not all the edges are laying down flat. I had some issues with application because there wasn't a good size selection for my nails, but other than that they went on ok. I only kept these on for a day because they were bothering me too much. haha 

If you wanted to wear these for a special event or something I would say go for it, but I wouldn't recommend them for long term wear. With the price though, you can't go wrong!

What are your thoughts on these? Have any of you tried them?
