Fancy Gloss - September Releases

Hi everyone! Today I have some beautiful shimmer polishes to share with you from Fancy Gloss!

These three beauties are shimmer polishes and they are fabulous.  They all have the same formula so i'm just going to talk about that now so I'm not too repetitive.  

Each of these were opaque for me in just two coats.  At first when you apply them they seem like they have brush strokes but as they dry down those brush strokes almost all disappear, which is awesome if you're like me and have trouble doing straight lines! 

The formula is very good.  They're not too thick or too thin and they apply easily and evenly.

Now, lets jump on into those swatches!

First up is Seaweed Sprinter.  It's a light green with gold shimmer. This is shown over my natural nail in two coats.  The gold shimmer really shines though and it leans more yellow green on me.  The last picture in the set I have the polish shown over both a white base and a black base.

Next up is Coral Floral.  It's a peachy pink with gold shimmer! This is two coats shown over my natural nail.  The last picture in the set I have it shown over both a white base and a black base.

I saved my favorite for last! This is Tide Chaser.  It's light blue with gold shimmer throughout.  It's gorgeous! Shown here is two coats over my natural nail.  The last picture it is shown over both a black and white base.

 

I was playing with these over some colored bases and they also look really pretty layered over similar colors.  By far my favorite combination, one I just had to do for a whole manicure, is Tide Chaser layered over Pink Dreams, which is a light, baby pink creme polish by Fancy Gloss.  

Shown here is 1 coat of the light blue shimmer polish over Pink Dreams.  Isn't it just gorgeous?

These polishes, along with many others, (I have one Thermal, Shattered Heart, posted here) will be available on September 1, 2017 at 8pm est in Fancy Gloss shop.

*These polishes were provided for an honest review, which I hope you have enjoyed reading!*

Vapid Lacquer - August Releases

Hi guys!  Today I am thrilled to be able to share with you two polishes from Vapid Lacquer and a new scent of Moisturizing Body Mist that will be available August 19, 2017.

 ~ Press Sample ~ 

First lets start off with the polish, now these two polishes may look familiar to some of you veteran Vapid Lacquer lovers! That's because they are two polishes the Vapid team is bringing back after being highly requested.  These two beauties are Dragon Eggs, and Sea Glass.  They are made following the same recipe and formula as the original release.

Lets take a look at "Dragon Eggs".  Dragon Eggs was previously released under the name "Dragon Eggs In My Easter Basket".  The maker describes it as an orchid\purple with ultra-chrome flakes in pink, purple, blue, and gold. It is SO sparkly!

The first set of pictures are topped using Vapid Lacquer Get Your Shine On! High Shine Quick Dry Top Coat, and then shown using a matte topcoat.

All photos for Dragon Eggs are shown in 3 thin coats.  This was absolutely opaque in two coats, but I wanted to see how 3 would look with a smidge more of those beautiful flakes.  The formula is amazing, I barely had to do any clean up it was so easy to control.  

Next up is "Sea Glass".  Sea Glass is described by the maker as a peachy, beachy base with shifting ultra-chrome flakes of pink, purple, blue, and gold.  

I know nude toned colors can be hit or miss for some people, but this one is definitely a hit!  It's absolutely stunning.  It makes you feel kind of dainty with a bit of an edge...or, well, maybe thats just me.

Sea Glass is shown in two coats.  It has amazing coverage for a light nude toned polish. The first set of pictures are topped using Vapid Lacquer Get Your Shine On! High Shine Quick Dry Top Coat, and then also shown using a matte topcoat.

Both Dragon Eggs and Sea Glass apply smoothly and remove easily.  The flakes lie flat on the nail, and while they may stick to your skin with a little sparkle, you won't need to scrub at all when you decide to remove them.

I have one last thing I wanted to share with you, I was fortunate to receive Vapid's Moisturizing Body Mist in a new scent called Quiet Morning.  Please ignore the label, as soon as I pulled it out of the shipping box, being the butterfingers that I am, I promptly dropped it into my dog's water dish!  Luckily the label held on like a champ.

Quiet Morning is a very light scent.  It has a fresh lemony\citrus kind of scent to my nose, and I absolutely love it.  The name, paired with the scent, just elicits images of sitting on a porch, sipping coffee, enjoying the quiet, and early morning scents, as the world around you wakes up. 

There are also a few other scents being released, they are:  Candy Clouds, Capistrano, Trash Can Punch, Hard Candy, and Unicorn Milk.  Trash Can Punch, Hard Candy, and Unicorn Milk, are all new scents, along with Quiet Morning.

All of this wonderfulness releases on August 19, 2017!  

Happy Shopping!

Polished For Days - Xantho

Hi everyone! Today I'm back with a gorgeous polish from Polished For Days to share with you!

Xantho

Xantho is described by the maker as a soft grey holographic with holographic flakes, and copper shimmer.

Polished For Days has an amazing formula, and this was no exception.  Each of the polishes that I've tried from this brand have been the perfect balance; not thick, but not thin.  Shown above is two coats with a glossy top coat, although it was almost opaque in one for me.

I am so glad I took my friend, Amanda, from Little Mermaid Nailed It's, advice and picked this one up.  It's a unique color in my collection, and I totally have a love for all things made with the holo flakes used here.  Xantho is a polish you won't want to miss out on, and you can get it here for $11.

Anchor & Heart - You Are Enough

Hi everyone!  I know it's been quite some time since I've posted, but I want to try and do things differently.  Originally, I was only using my blog when I had collections to post, but now I want to just try and blog what I'm wearing, so I hope you all will be okay with one polish posts!


The polish I wanted to talk about today is the gorgeous "You Are Enough" from Anchor & Heart Lacquer!

"You Are Enough" is part of Anchor & Heart Lacquer's“Message In A Bottle” series. Each month one polish will be released, to promote an empowering message of love, confidence, and self acceptance! The polishes will be available for all of 2017, not just the month that they are released. The original concept for this series is credited to Becky of @NakedWithoutPolish. (information obtained from Anchor & Heart's website)

"You Are Enough" is their Feburary 2017 polish and I cannot believe it took me this long to wear it! I picked this beauty up from their table at NY Polish Con.  It is described by the maker as a dark pink jelly based holo with shimmering pink/orange glass flecks and UCC flakies that shift green/blue/purple. 

The swatches are all shown with 2 coats plus topcoat. My photos don't quite capture the true beauty of this polish, the holo and shimmer is much more striking in person!  The formula was excellent, it applied smoothly and evenly.  The flakies lay flat and smooth.  

"You Are Enough" sells for $11 and you can get it here!
