trbidi="on"&gt;
Hi guys, happy Friday! Today I have a fun post for you! A couple months ago I heard about a Disney branded line of cosmetics called Beautifully Disney, the collection is only available at Disneyland in Anaheim and Disney World in Orlando (or via phone). Beautifully Disney's first collection is called Wickedly Beautiful and the nail polish part of the collection is split into 2 sets, one for the 4 most popular Disney Princesses and one for the 4 villains that correspond to that princess. Other than nail polish there is also a couple of eye shadow palettes, lip glosses and makeup bags. The first collection is focused on Ariel (Little Mermaid), Cinderella, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) and Snow White. &amp;nbsp;From what I understand from talking to the girl at the Vault 28 store there are more collections planned for the future that will focus on the other princesses, so if you're favorite isn't in here no worries!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once I heard about the collection I went over to Downtown Disney and picked up all the polishes, a lip gloss and an eye shadow palette. I'm pretty sure the girl thought I was some kind of hoarder...I was like what, I really like Disney and make up...sue me. Between this official Disney line and the collaborations they have been doing with Sephora my bank account is seriously sad!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BjnKxA8M2io/UZ7jCHd5LaI/AAAAAAAAT2U/g3GhZAesySg/s1600/Disney+Wickedly+Beautiful+Nail+Polish+Swatches.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BjnKxA8M2io/UZ7jCHd5LaI/AAAAAAAAT2U/g3GhZAesySg/s640/Disney+Wickedly+Beautiful+Nail+Polish+Swatches.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Check out swatches &amp;amp; reviews of each shade by clicking the read more button below!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I bought most of these in the mini sets and the bottles were difficult to hold so I'm holding a random top coat bottle for the photos. If you want to see what the bottles look like there is a link at the bottom of the post that shows all the products in the collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diva Of The Deep is a vampy dark purple with a subtle pink shimmer. The shade is for Ursula from the Little Mermaid. When I was little I was so scared of Ursula, The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie ever and seriously...she traumatized me as a child. The formula was a bit on the thick side but application was easy and this was nice and opaque. I used 2 coats for the photos below. &amp;nbsp;Both photos below are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Enchanted Kiss is a pink creme for Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. This isn't the most ground breaking color but it's a nice pink. The formula was alright, it was a little patchy but it built up and evened out very easily. I used 2 coats for the photos below, both photos are in natural sunlight. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Just One Bite is pink glitter of various sizes in a clear base. This is for the Evil Queen from Snow White, I do like this but I kinda wish it were red glitter instead of pink! The formula was good, it wasn't thick and the glitter payoff is great. I used 1 coat over Off To The Ball for the photos below. Both photos are in the shade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Looking For My Prince is a cherry red creme. This polish is for Snow White, the perfect red for her! Definitely not an exciting color but it's what I would expect for Snow White. The formula was great, it applied easily and had good opacity. I used 2 coats for the photos below, both photos are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Midnight Hour is a dark red cruelly (creme/jelly hybrid). This is for Lady Tremaine from Cinderella. True story...I didn't know that the villain in Cinderella had a real name until typing this up, I thought her name was just "Wicked Stepmother" lol! The formula was good on this, like I mentioned it's a crelly so it has the opacity of a creme from the nice squishy finish of a jelly. I used 2 coats for the photos below. Both photos are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Mistress Of Evil is gunmetal grey hex glitter in a clear base. This polish is for Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. I love Maleficent, she is such a bad ass...if I was a villain I'd totally want to be her. The formula was good on this, it was very glitter dense and easy to apply. I used 1 coat over Enchanted Kiss for the photos below, both photos are in the shade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ocean Mist is a shimmery green foil like polish. This is for Ariel from The Little Mermaid...my personal favorite princess of all time. Lord help me when Sephora does the collab for Ariel....I will buy everything, even if it's ugly...clearly I have a problem. The formula was alright on this one, it was on the sheer side but it was easy enough to get opaque. I used 3 coats for the photos below, both photos are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;

Off To The Ball is a light blue creme. This is for Cinderella, I think the color is quite fitting...it reminds me of a lighter version of her ball gown. The formula was a let down on this shade, unfortunately. It was very sheer and streaky at first, it did build up but it was one of those polishes you have to be careful and patient with. I used 4 coats for the photos below, both photos are in natural sunlight. &lt;br /&gt;

The Beautifully Disney Wickedly Beautiful Collection is available in person only at the Disney Vault 28 store in Downtown Disney at Disneyland in Anaheim CA and at Tren-d at Downtown Disney at Disney World in Orlando FL. You can also order via phone if you don't live near either park, I am not sure if they ship internationally since it doesn't say on their site. The number for ordering via phone is 1.877.560.6477. The full size bottles of these polishes retail for $8.95 and the mini sets (4 polishes in each mini set) are $19.95.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to see photos of the bottles or what the makeup items look like you can check them out &lt;a href="http://www.disneyparksmerchandise.com/parksauthentic/beautifully-disney/" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. I'm really looking forward to what Beautifully Disney does next, I'll be here patently waiting for Belle, I'd also love to see something for Cruella De Vil (though I'm not sure how they'd do a princess for 101 Dalmatians lol). I think it's pretty awesome that Disney is doing their own official beauty line, even if the colors aren't OMG amazing the collector and Disney fanatic in me wants them all!&lt;/div&gt;

Hi guys! Today I have the Emerald City duo from Girly Bits to share with you! These 2 polishes are from Pam's Spring It On Me Collection, you can get them either individually or as a pair for a couple dollars cheaper! You all know I'm a huge greenaholic so I'm all about these!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;
Emerald City is an emerald green jelly. The formula was really nice, it applied easily and was very easy to build. I *think* this might be the only emerald jelly I have in my stash...I can't believe I don't already own one (that I can think of anyway!) I used 3 coats for full opacity, it would be easy to do jelly sandwiches with this also! &lt;br /&gt;

Emerald City Lights is a duochrome blue/purple shimmer in a sheer emerald green base. I haven't worn this on it's own but you could if you wanted to, I think you'd probably need around 4 coats to get it opaque that way. This pairs really beautifully with Emerald Lights, I think it will look great over black or dark purple also! I used 2 coat of Emerald City lights over Emerald City for the photos below. The formula was nice, it was on the sheer side on it's own but layering it was a breeze! All photos below are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;

Hi guys! Today I have the Summer 2013 PixieDust polishes from Zoya to share with you! I am so so excited about these! I loved the original &lt;a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/02/zoya-pixiedust-collection-swatches.html" target="_blank"&gt;PixieDust polishes&lt;/a&gt; and was hoping Zoya would give us brighter colors and they did! These 6 new shades are all vibrant brights perfect for Spring &amp;amp; Summer. Check out the swatches after the jump!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Each polish in this post was consistent formula wise, they are a little bit on the thick side by very easy to apply. Just like with the first round of &lt;a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/02/zoya-pixiedust-collection-swatches.html" target="_blank"&gt;PixieDust polishes&lt;/a&gt; these are nice and long wearing, I wore Stevie for 5 days without top coat and had no chipping! Dry time isn't too bad on these, I allowed them each to dry for 45 minutes before I took photos, they were dry to the touch long before that though. Each swatch is 2 coats for polish, for the top coat photos I used a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food followed by a coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top. All photos in this post are in direct sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Beatrix is a tangerine orange. The sparkly bits in this are golden and so much better than they look in photos!&lt;br /&gt;

Destiny is a coral base with golden glitter. This is not as red as it looks in my photos but it is a red leaning coral. &lt;br /&gt;

Liberty is a beautiful bright blue. This is my favorite of the collection, what can I say...I love a good blue polish! I did have a little bit of staining with this so it's probably best to use a couple coats of base coat and be careful when removing it so you don't get smurf fingers!&lt;br /&gt;

Solange is a yellow/gold. In person this is a bit more yellow and less gold, especially when I added top coat! &lt;br /&gt;

Hi guys! Today I have a bit of an experiment for you! I went by Michaels over the weekend to get a couple things for a different nail art thing I have planned and I ended up getting sucked into the scrapbooking section. I swear, that aisle is like a money pit for me, I don't even scrapbook I just buy all sorts of random stuff to see if I can somehow stick it to my nails. I remember seeing Embossing Powder there when I bought flocking powder a while back but I didn't buy it for some reason. Anyway, this time I was a sucker and I couldn't resist, as far as I know embossing powder is used with stamping...you pour it over the wet ink and then use heat on it. I kinda wanna try that just to see what it does. &amp;nbsp;Michaels had a whole rainbow of colors of embossing powder, everything from matte semi neon shades to metallics and some with sparkle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wasn't sure how this would turn out so I ended up buying a 5 pack that came with purple, pink, blue, light yellow and lime green powder. Each one came in a little tube which you can sort of see in the photo below. I decided to mix all 5 color together and see what happened when I sprinkled it over wet polish (OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls for the photo below). I quite like the result!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once this was dry it kind of had the texture of glittery textured polishes we've seen so much this year. This could be a good way to DIY a texture polish if you want a specific color combo! I tried this with top coat and I wouldn't recommend it, it looked like it melted the pink and purple colored powder and it just wasn't as pretty. Removal was easy, just regular polish remover did the job and there was no scrubbing involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ahxn6193Q1I/UZqdbDRFEGI/AAAAAAAATvc/cWbm4qw9Spo/s1600/Emobssing+Powder+Nails+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ahxn6193Q1I/UZqdbDRFEGI/AAAAAAAATvc/cWbm4qw9Spo/s640/Emobssing+Powder+Nails+1.JPG" width="466" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Lighting: Sunlight&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
So what do you think? Is this something you'd try? I really like it, it was pretty in person and I like the idea of the endless color combos. I think I'll probably be stopping by Michaels again to pick up a few more colors!&lt;/div&gt;

Hi guys, hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was nice, I spent some time organizing my nail polish...I always find that to be really relaxing. Sorting things calms me down, I think it's the Virgo in me haha! I also got a whole bunch done for the blog which was needed, I usually type up posts the night before they are live but I've managed to schedule myself out like 2 weeks ahead...yay! I don't think that has ever happened before!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I have the newest trio from Contrary Polish called the Ain't That A Beach trio to share with you guys! I pretty much love everything Contrary Polish puts out, I love good shimmers and Contrary Polish does them well! I was excited about this collection just from the name before I even saw the colors. I've lived in So Cal my whole life and when I was a kid I spent a ton of time at the beach, still do! Check out swatches &amp;amp; reviews of all 3 polishes from this trio after the jump!&lt;br /&gt;

Sky is a dusty blue with golden shimmer and blue microglitter.&amp;nbsp; The little bits of glitter are pretty close to the base color of the polish so my camera wasn't able to pick it up, you can see it in person though. The formula was great, it was a perfect consistency and the opacity was great. I used 2 coats for the photos below. Both photos are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sand is a dark tan base with golden shimmer and brown microglitter. I gotta say, this color is pretty spot on for how the sand looks here! This is my favorite of the bunch, it's such a pretty neutral and the sparkle this has in person is gorgeous. The formula was good, it was a bit sheer on the first coat but the second coat made it completely opaque. Both photos below are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Surf is a dark green leaning blue with bright green shimmer and blue/green micro glitter. The glitter in this one is also close to the base color so it's not showing up in photos. The shimmer in this one was WOW. Part of what I love about Contrary Polish is the contrasting shimmer combos that Carrie comes up with...this one is beautiful! it reminds me a bit of a custom she made me a little while back called &lt;a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/02/saturday-spam-random-swatch-spam.html" target="_blank"&gt;Maui&lt;/a&gt;, it's not quite as dark of a blue but very similar. So if you liked Maui when I posted it and were sad that it was a custom this is the perfect alternative! The formula was great, the opacity was good and application was easy. I used 2 coats for the photos below. Both photos are in natural sunlight.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

Hi guys, hope you're all having a good weekend so far! Today I have 3 new Dermelect polishes to share with you.These 3 polishes are part of a 12 piece collection that Dermelect released back in April! If you've never heard of Dermelect before what makes their polish different from others is that they are infused with ProSina which is a pure protein peptide. I talked a bit about it last time I swatched a few of these polishes, you can check that post out &lt;a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2012/06/dermelect-me-collection-swatches.html" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;

Phenom is a blue creme. I love blues like this, they are dark but not so dark that they look black. The formula was really great, it had a nice creamy consistency and was easy to apply. I used 2 coats for the photos below, both photos are in natural sunlight. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Stunner is a coppery/brown shimmer. This is a bit more on the frosty side than I expected it to be but I did enjoy this in lower lighting since the brush strokes weren't so apparent. The formula was good but it does dry with brush strokes. I used 2 coats for the photos below, the first 2 photos are in natural sunlight and the 3rd is in the shade.&lt;br /&gt;

Vivacious is a green leaning teal. This is my favorite of the bunch, it's such a pretty green with just enough blue undertones. I also really love the dusty quality to it. The formula was good, it was a tiny bit patchy on the first coat but the second coat made it perfect. I used 2 coats for the photos below, both photos are in natural sunlight. &lt;br /&gt;

Hi guys, happy Friday! Today I have Orly's Summer 2013 Mash Up Collection to share with you! I wasn't sure I'd get anything from this collection, mostly because I don't really care for the new Orly bottles and it turns me off of buying from them but then I saw these in person and ended up bringing them home...I couldn't resist the shimmer and glitter! For Summer this year Orly has given us a bit of an eclectic collection that includes everything from an eye searing neon to an almost pastel creme. There is a bit of something for everyone in here! check out the swatches &amp;amp; reviews after the jump!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Beautiful Disaster is a medium red toned purple shimmer. This shows a bit of brushstrokes once it dries but it's nice and glowy, I wasn't sure about a color like this for Summer but I think the glowy-ness to it makes it nice for the season! The formula was good, a bit patchy at first but the second coat got rid of that without issues. I used 2 coats for the photos below, both photos are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Choreographed Chaos is a bubblegum pink with a blue shimmer. The shimmer is on the hidden side but you can see it when the light hits the nail right. The formula was a bit weird, it was fine on the first coat and then super streaky on the second coat. I used 3 coats to completely even it out for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;

Harmonious Mess is a dusty periwinkle creme. This is a surprise favorite for me, this color was so flattering on...I feel like I'll probably grab for this quite a bit for layering. The formula was good, the first coat was on the sheer side but it built up really easily. I used 2 coats for the photos below. Both photos below are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Mayhem Mentality is an orange neon. This sucker was eye searing, if you like REALLY bright neons this is one you'll really like! The formula was great, it was a little streaky at first but easy to even out and the opacity was good. I used 2 coats for the photos below, I did not layer this over white for the photos but I have tried it over white and it makes it even brighter! Both photos below are in the shade, for some reason my camera likes to photograph bright orange neons as yellow in the sun haha!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Pretty-Ugly is a light blue with a blue shimmer. The shimmer in this was great, it was visible in the regular lighting in my house as well as outside. In lower lighting, like the shade, it was pretty hidden. The formula was good but on the sheer side, I used 3 coats for full opacity. Both photos below are in natural sunlight. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sparkling Garbage is a murky green jelly base loaded with holographic glitter. I was most excited about this when I saw them in the store, photos don't really do justice to how sparkly this is. I don't *love* this on it's own but I think layering it over the right color will make me love it. The formula was alright, it was very sheer though. I used 3 coats for the photos below and I definitely needed 1-2 more coats for full opacity. Both photos below are in natural sunlight. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Mash Up Collection from Orly is available now, I'm pretty sure I saw it out at Sally Beauty Supply when I stopped by there the other day. You can also find the collection on etailers like Transdesign.com &lt;/div&gt;

Hi guys! Today I have a short but sweet post for ya! It's Girly Bits Bachelor's Button, this is another one of the polishes Pam has put out for Spring this year. Bachelor's Button is a dusty cornflower blue with a beautiful linear holo effect. The holo isn't crazy and in your face but it's more obvious in person than it appears in photos. The formula was really nice, this was a breeze to apply and the opacity was good. I didn't have any issues with top coat dulling the holo etc.. I used 2 coats for the photos below, all photos are in natural sunlight!&lt;br /&gt;

Hi guys! Today I have Essie's 2013 Neon Collection to share with you guys! I wasn't planning on picking these up but I wandered into my local beauty supply and well...I couldn't resist due to my total lack of self control. This years neons include 6 new polishes, once I saw them in person I was pretty excited about them because the colors are more exciting than what Essie did last year in terms of neons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

All of the swatches in this post are done over Cult Nails Tempest, the display I saw in store for these had a spot for Essie Blanc so I figure if Essie is trying to sell me a white base with them then I may as well swatch them that way. Most of these are jellies, a couple are pretty sheer but the others could easily be worn opaque on their own. Formula wise for the most part these weren't great, there were a couple that were fine but most were streaky and a bit tricky to work with. I haven't worn these alone yet so I'm not sure if that makes a difference for application. My top coat for each swatch is Ozotic Mr. Big Top Coat. If there are any comparisons you want to see please let me know in the comments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Boom Boom Room is a bright bubblegum pink. This was one of the good formulas of the bunch, which was surprising because I was expecting it to be one of the difficult ones. I used 2 coats over white for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;

Bottle Service is a bright fuchsia. This was a bit streaky at first but it was easy to work with and I ended up only needed 2 coats over white for the photos below. Both photos are in natural sunlight. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Bouncer It's Me is a bright vivid blue. Hands down this is my favorite color wise but OMG the formula was horrible. I was so excited about this that I swatched it first then I was so frustrated and disappointed with it that I ended up throwing in the towel and I quit swatching for the day after battling to get it looking nice. Salt in the wound: it never dried on me. I ended up having to remove this after about 4 hours because I hit my hand on something and completely screwed up 2 of my nails. I still do like the color so I'm going to try thinning it to see if that helps application but I'm not holding my breath for that working. I used 3 coats over white to even this out, it was still streaky in person but it's not really translating in photos.&lt;br /&gt;

DJ Play That Song is a red toned bright purple. Formula wise this was a little thick, I found that using thin coats of this made it difficult to apply but using thick coats to even an even coat made it never dry. I'm hoping this is another than thinner will help with. I used 2 thick coats over white for the the photos below. Both photos are in natural sunlight. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

Saturday Disco Fever is a bright orange. The formula wasn't too bad on this one, it was streaky on the first coat but the second coat evened it out without a problem. I used 2 coats over white for the photos below, both photos are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;

Shake Your $$ Maker is a bright green. This was another that I was excited about because hello...it's green! The formula wasn't great, it was the most sheer of the bunch and the formula was on the thick side. I found it a bit difficult to get this to go on evenly. I used 3 coats over white for the photos below, both photos are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;

Essie's Neon 2013 Collection is available now, I've seen the display all over the place...at drugstores, Ulta etc... You can also find them online at etailers like Transdesign!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hi guys! Today I have swatches of the new OPI Couture de Minnie Collection to share with you! Last year OPI did a &lt;a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2012/04/opi-vintage-minnie-mouse-collection.html" target="_blank"&gt;Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection &lt;/a&gt;and I guess it was such a hit that they decided to continue on with the theme and 5 new Minnie inspired shades for this year. This new set of Minnie polishes included 3 shimmer an awesome glitter and another Liquid Sand polish. Check out the swatches after the jump!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oyk58jFf0hY/UZGiCzh7NzI/AAAAAAAATnQ/7p707vEEM4Y/s1600/OPI+Couture+de+Minnie+Collection.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oyk58jFf0hY/UZGiCzh7NzI/AAAAAAAATnQ/7p707vEEM4Y/s640/OPI+Couture+de+Minnie+Collection.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;
A Definite Moust-Have is a medium rosy pink with a pearl like shimmer running through out it. The formula was pretty fnatastical on this one, it was nice and creamy and super opaque. If you are careful you could probably get away with 1 coat pretty easily! The shimmer is a bit hidden, you can see it in direct sunlight but in lower lighting I couldn't see it. I used 2 coats for the photos below, both photos are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Chic From Ears To Tail is a light bubblegum pink with a very subtle silver shimmer. The shimmer is this was pretty much invisible even in direct light but when the light caught it it was a nice surprise. The formula was okay, it was a little streaky but it leveled itself out nicely. I used 3 coats to completely even this out. &lt;br /&gt;

Innie Minnie Mightie Bow is a gorgeous red with shimmer running throughout. This is much better in person, I'm not much a red girl but I really like this one. The formula was great on this polish, much like A Definite Moust-Have it was super opaque and nice and creamy going on. I used 2 coats for the photos below but you could probably get away with 1 coat of this one as well. Both photos below are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Magazine Cover Mouse is a red liquid sand with bits of pink and golden shimmer. If you liked OPI Jinx you will like this one also, texture wise it's pretty much the same. This is a definite favorite for me, I'm still all about the textures! The formula was a little bit on the thick side but that made it easy to apply and it was super opaque. I used 2 coats for the photos below. The first 2 photos are without top coat about 45 minutes after applying the polish. The last 2 photos are with top coat! &amp;nbsp;All photos are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Minnie Style is red, pink and white glitter in a clear base. This glitter is the big win of the entire collection, OPI has really been hitting it out of the park with their glitters this year! The formula was good, a little bit thick but easy to apply. The glitter payoff was good, I used 1 coat over Chic From Ears To Tail for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;

Overall I like this collection, Minnie Style and Magazine Cover Mouse are my picks from the collection. If you like glitter and texture I don't think you'd regret getting either of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Couture de Minnie Collection will be in stores in June!&lt;br /&gt;

Hi guys! Hope you all had a great weekend, mine was nice and relaxing! I got my car back on Friday so that was a nice start to the weekend. A few weeks ago some idiot making an illegal turn hit me, I had to get a whole new drivers side door...crazy!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I have 4 of the new Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat polishes to share with you. I stopped by Target on Friday night to pick up a prescription and spotted these on an endcap along with the new Sally Hansen Sugar Coat texture polishes (they look similar to the China Glaze Textures). The Fuzzy Coat polishes are different mixes of small bar glitter in a clear base. I ended up picking up 4 of the Fuzzy Coat polishes, there were a few other shades but they looked like dupes of the&lt;a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/01/nails-inc-feathers-collection-swatches.html" target="_blank"&gt; Nails Inc Feather&lt;/a&gt; polishes so I decided to not buy them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6QTCcRMWSPw/UZBlbPkXLjI/AAAAAAAATkI/O7RIwe8zS-k/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Fuzzy+Coat+Swatches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6QTCcRMWSPw/UZBlbPkXLjI/AAAAAAAATkI/O7RIwe8zS-k/s640/Sally+Hansen+Fuzzy+Coat+Swatches.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Formula wise these were consistent, I found them to be a little thick but easy to apply. The glitter payoff was good on all 4. You could get these opaque on their own with 3-4 coats if you felt like it, I would suggest thinning them a bit if you want to do that though. For all the swatches in this post I used 1 coat of the Fuzzy Coat polish over my base color along with CND Air Dry as my top coat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fuzzy Fantasy is light green and white bar glitter in a clear base. I used this over Orly Pretty-Ugly. Loved this combo!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tweedy is black and white bar glitter in a clear base. This was the one that I knew I needed as soon as I heard about Sally Hansen doing these, I have a serious black and white glitter obsession. I used Tweedy over Essie Bottle Service for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Lighting: Sunlight&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Lighting: Sunlight&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wool Knot is light blue and white bar glitter in a clear base. I was a bit worried that this would be too similar to &lt;a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/01/nails-inc-feathers-collection-swatches.html" target="_blank"&gt;Nails Inc Cornwall &lt;/a&gt;once I got it home but the shade of blue glitter is much different thankfully. &amp;nbsp;I used Wool Knot over Orly Choreographed Chaos for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Lighting: Shade&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Lighting: Shade&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wool Lite is light pink and white bar glitter in a clear base. I really like this one, it's very subtle depending on your base color. The light pink bars do tend to look white....which I like. I used Wool LIte over Orly Harmonious Mess for the photos below. I love this combo, it feels so spring-y to me!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Lighting: Shade&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat polishes are available now, I found mine at Target...I'm not sure if these have made their way to other drugstores yet. Price wise there were somewhere in the $5-$6 neighborhood (I can't find my receipt to check for sure)&lt;/div&gt;

Happy Friday! Anyone have big plans for this weekend? I'm not sure what I'll be doing yet other than some kind of Mothers Day dinner for my Grandma and Mom. I still have to go out and buy gifts for Mothers Day, I never know what to get my Mom and Grandma for this day...I'm great at birthday shopping but all these other random gift buying holidays always stump me. Anyway, today I have a couple Girly Bits polishes to share with you guys! Keep on reading to check em out!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Face The Music is a bright neon green shimmery jelly with black hex glitter and black star glitter. This polish is the first polish in Pam's concert series and is for the Marianas Trench concert she recently attended. I really like the idea of making polishes based off concerts, if I was an indie maker that is totally something I'd do also! The formula was good on this polish, it was much more opaque than I expected it to be and it wasn't streaky or patchy. I did have to fish a bit for the black star glitter but they were pretty abundant in the bottle so it was easy to get them out. I used 2 coats for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kixEOXru530/UYrWFL8oKhI/AAAAAAAAThc/5sFxnXbvvo0/s1600/Girly+Bits+Face+The+Music+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kixEOXru530/UYrWFL8oKhI/AAAAAAAAThc/5sFxnXbvvo0/s640/Girly+Bits+Face+The+Music+1.JPG" width="586" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Lighting: Sunlight&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9P5eifM12G8/UYrWJRdsBwI/AAAAAAAAThk/6eDP3X_QK2c/s1600/Girly+Bits+Face+The+Music+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9P5eifM12G8/UYrWJRdsBwI/AAAAAAAAThk/6eDP3X_QK2c/s640/Girly+Bits+Face+The+Music+2.JPG" width="492" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Lighting: office lighting (how exciting)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spring It On Me! is a slightly lavender tinted milky base packed with glitter and a very subtle holo effect which is not translating in photos *sad face*. This is meant to be layered but shoot, I like it best on it's own...I am a rebel! The formula was really nice, it wasn't thick at all and the glitter was easy to get onto the nail.

&lt;br /&gt;
Hi guys! Today I have the 2nd half of Zoya's Summer 2013 Collection, the Stunning Collection! If you missed my swatches of the Irresistible half of the collection you can check them out &lt;a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/04/Zoya-Summer-2013-Irresistible-Collection-Swatches-Review.html" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. The Stunning half of the collection is the "creme" half, I put creme in quotes because Zoya is calling them cremes but 4 out of the 6 have a very subtle shimmer in them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

All photos in this post are taken in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Darcy is a bright yellow. There is a slight shimmer in this, it's not super visible on the nail but when the light hits it right you can see it a tiny bit. The formula was good for a yellow, it was a nice consistency and not overly streaky. I used 3 coats to even it out completely. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t7j04f3ZM_M/UYmKzdcC6GI/AAAAAAAATfk/khDlUi12w9Q/s1600/Zoya+Darcy+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t7j04f3ZM_M/UYmKzdcC6GI/AAAAAAAATfk/khDlUi12w9Q/s640/Zoya+Darcy+1.JPG" width="470" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JNsoCFZouSg/UYmLJUCnqKI/AAAAAAAATfs/r2N00CBC7NY/s1600/Zoya+Darcy+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JNsoCFZouSg/UYmLJUCnqKI/AAAAAAAATfs/r2N00CBC7NY/s640/Zoya+Darcy+2.JPG" width="512" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Josie is a medium green creme. I really like this shade, it's bright but still somewhat toned done looking...if that makes any sense. The formula was really great, application was easy and I had no issues with it. I used 2 coats for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iZZbkVmcAsc/UYmLa1nChmI/AAAAAAAATf0/4fB_Y1mNsBs/s1600/Zoya+Josie+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iZZbkVmcAsc/UYmLa1nChmI/AAAAAAAATf0/4fB_Y1mNsBs/s640/Zoya+Josie+1.JPG" width="424" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uZ57yzYfn88/UYmLt85_XFI/AAAAAAAATf8/aO92GAmbwm4/s1600/Zoya+Josie+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uZ57yzYfn88/UYmLt85_XFI/AAAAAAAATf8/aO92GAmbwm4/s640/Zoya+Josie+2.JPG" width="474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Micky is a coral pink with a slight shimmer. The shimmer in this is a bit more noticeable than it waas in Darcy but it's only really visible on the nail in bright light or out in the sun at the right angle. The formula on Micky was a little thick and uneven while applying, I think thinner would probably fix that for next time I wear this one. I used 3 coats for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9lqH-wusCes/UYmMMPZS4uI/AAAAAAAATgE/k24brgCL2bc/s1600/Zoya+Micky+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9lqH-wusCes/UYmMMPZS4uI/AAAAAAAATgE/k24brgCL2bc/s640/Zoya+Micky+1.JPG" width="422" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mx5xUivVypk/UYmMP27c8cI/AAAAAAAATgM/6pFpEbfYOrc/s1600/Zoya+Micky+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mx5xUivVypk/UYmMP27c8cI/AAAAAAAATgM/6pFpEbfYOrc/s640/Zoya+Micky+2.JPG" width="496" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rocky is a dusty medium blue creme. There is no shimmer in this one. This is a bit like Josie, bright but still somewhat toned down. I really love this color! The formula was really nice, it was easy to apply and I had no issues with it. I used 2 coats for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tbRGQX0Lsec/UYmMRYJF2XI/AAAAAAAATgU/jHNetSnNo4g/s1600/Zoya+Rocky+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tbRGQX0Lsec/UYmMRYJF2XI/AAAAAAAATgU/jHNetSnNo4g/s640/Zoya+Rocky+1.JPG" width="406" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-huYKRZ1UJhM/UYmMSSXg2VI/AAAAAAAATgc/qdzEc4RsXgM/s1600/Zoya+Rocky+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-huYKRZ1UJhM/UYmMSSXg2VI/AAAAAAAATgc/qdzEc4RsXgM/s640/Zoya+Rocky+2.JPG" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thandie is an orange with a subtle shimmer. This is my favorite of the collection, it's not a bright as a lot of the oranges we see for Spring/Summer. I love the dustyness to it, it looks a bit softer in person than it photographs. The formula was great, the consistency was perfect and application was a breeze. I used 2 coats for the photos below.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-69aNvhI_P3M/UYmMVHQk8sI/AAAAAAAATgk/E6i3VQlRygM/s1600/Zoya+Thandie+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-69aNvhI_P3M/UYmMVHQk8sI/AAAAAAAATgk/E6i3VQlRygM/s640/Zoya+Thandie+1.JPG" width="454" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JnH-ml8WAfI/UYmMXKZauyI/AAAAAAAATgs/rCAuQ-Kuf-4/s1600/Zoya+Thandie+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JnH-ml8WAfI/UYmMXKZauyI/AAAAAAAATgs/rCAuQ-Kuf-4/s640/Zoya+Thandie+2.JPG" width="512" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yana is a geranium pink according to Zoya! There is a subtle shimmer in this shade also. This is probably not the most unique color ever but the formula was just perfection. It was one of those polishes that just feel like it practically applies itself! I used 2 coats for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-576rh40lQKo/UYmMZ0jgRmI/AAAAAAAATg0/nOVQwk26hOA/s1600/Zoya+Yana+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-576rh40lQKo/UYmMZ0jgRmI/AAAAAAAATg0/nOVQwk26hOA/s640/Zoya+Yana+1.JPG" width="428" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KEvc_b-fobs/UYmMbOOVMlI/AAAAAAAATg8/zBeRrghsAb0/s1600/Zoya+Yana+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KEvc_b-fobs/UYmMbOOVMlI/AAAAAAAATg8/zBeRrghsAb0/s640/Zoya+Yana+2.JPG" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall I really like this half of Zoya's Summer offerings. The colors are great for Summer and a couple are unexpected. Rocky, Josie and Thandie are my favorites!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Stunning Collection is available now at Zoya.com for $8 a bottle!&lt;/div&gt;

Hi guys! Happy hump day :D Today I have the Whimsical Ideas by Pam Spring Collection to share with you! Pam recently put out 4 new polishes and a matte top coat, and today I have the 4 polishes to show you! I didn't realize until after I had swatched this collection that Pam had done at matte top coat in addition to the 4 polishes and I mattified them using the new piCture pOlish g'day matte, so if you'd like to see them matte check out that post by &lt;a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/05/picture-polish-gday-matte-swatches.html" target="_blank"&gt;clicking here&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;

14 Carrots is an orange jelly with orange hex and micro glitter! I remember when the OPI Texas Collection came out I kept trying to franken something like this with the orange jelly from that collection, I don't think I was ever successful at that haha! This is really beautiful, if you like orange you'll love this! The formula was great, very easy to apply and you don't need to layer this to get it opaque. I used 3 coats of 14 Carrots for the photos below! &lt;br /&gt;

Back To The Garden is a soft mix of satin pastel glitter along with some fun flower and butterfly shaped glitter. My favorite of the collection, by far. I love pastel glitters and the fun shapes are a nice addition to this. I found the butterfly and flower glitter very easy to get out of the bottle and I didn't have to place it onto the nail, usually shaped glitter in a pain so that was a nice surprise! I used 2 coats of Back To The Garden over Zoya Rocky for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Crazy Daisies is a sheer neon yellow base with red/orange flower glitter and small red/orange hex glitter. This was named by Pam's niece and there was an LE label also written by Pam's niece that I believe is sold out now, you can see it over at &lt;a href="http://www.xoxojen.com/2013/04/whimsical-ideas-spring-collection-2013.html#more" target="_blank"&gt;xoxo, Jen&lt;/a&gt; if you want to see how cute that label is! Crazy Daisies can be worn on it's own, it is a little sheer so you'd need a few coats to build up the opacity. I layered 2 coats over Cult Nails Tempest for the photos below, not only does it help the opacity but it makes it much more neon! The formula of Crazy Daisies was really nice and easy to work with, I didn't have any issues with the flower shaped glitter. &lt;br /&gt;

La De Dots is multicolor dot glitter in a clear base. I love circle glitter so this is one I was excited to see from Pam! The formula was good but the glitter was a little tricky to get out of the bottle and onto the brush. I used 2 coats of Zoya Yana!&lt;!--333--&gt;&lt;!--333--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Hi guys! Today I have the China Glaze Summer 2013 Sunsational Collection to share with you! I've been waiting for these to arrive at my local beauty supply since I saw them at ISSE in January, mostly because half of this collection is jellies and that intrigued me! I've been patiently waiting for these to arrive at my local store and when they finally did last week I drove over and bought them all, self control be damned! If you follow me on &lt;a href="http://instagram.com/thepolishaholic" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; you can see a photo of my shopping spree from that trip...I went a bit crazy since I hadn't bought any polish in over a month!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, the Sunsational Collection is split up into 2 parts. Half of the collection is cremes and the other half is jellies. I thought about splitting this up into 2 posts but decided to just lump the whole thing together! Check out the swatches &amp;amp; reviews by clicking the read more button under the collage!&lt;br /&gt;

Disclaimer: The majority of these polishes are a pain to photograph accurately. I always strive to take the most color accurate photos I can but some of these were just like NOPE. I would strongly suggest looking at swatches from multiple bloggers if you are unsure about a color, some of these are also just ones you'll probably need to see in real life first. Neons are a pain in the butt, sorry guys!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First up is the creme half of the collection! Formula wise these were pretty awful, with the exception of one (which I will talk about below when I get to that polish) they were all terribly streaky and hard to even out. Neons are typically difficult but these were just...bad. I found that they didn't level themselves very well so even when they were opaque and the streakyness was taken care of they still looked bad. You will need to use a good leveling top coat to help these out, something like Seche Vite or Cult Nails Wicked Fast are what I would recommend. I used Cult Nails Wicked Fast as my top coat for all the swatches of the creme half of the collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottoms Up is a neon pink. This has a bit of a purple undertone to it. This was one of the difficult ones to photograph, in the sun it just looked blown out blob so both photos below are in the shade. This is much much brighter in person than it looks below!I used 3 coats for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Highlight Of My Summer is a bright mint green. I'm not sure I'd really call this neon...just a bright mint. Formula wise this was the worst and most difficult of the creme half of the collection, bummer because I really like the color. I used 4 coats for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Neon
 &amp;amp; On &amp;amp; On is a pink neon. This was another difficult to photograph shade, it's a touch darker of a pink than it looks in photos and also much brighter. This one was weird, it didn't look neon at all in the bottle then I walked out and in the sun and it was like POW in your face. It's not super unique but I like the color. I used 3 coats for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sun Of A Peach is a peachy orange neon. Oy, this polish...so pretty, such an impossible color to photograph. I think neon peach might be the most difficult polish ever to capture haha! This was much brighter in person, I really enjoy the color. Formula wise this was right up there with Highlight Of My Summer in the difficult to work with department. I used 3 coats for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

That's Shore Bright is a purple creme. Out of the creme half of the collection this was the only one with a good formula. I like the color but it's not what I would call a neon and I feel like I already have a couple polishes very similar color wise . I used 2 coats for the photos below.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Too Yacht To Handle is a light blue creme. This one isn't very neon at all, it reminds me of a brighter version of For Audrey. The formula was weird on this one...it was nice at first but by the 3rd coat it was a gloopy difficult mess. I think thinner will greatly help if I ever decide to wear this again. I used 3 coats for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Next up is the Jelly half of the collection. Formula wise these were better than the creme half of the collection. I didn't find most of them to be streaky however most of these were extremely sheer. Jellies are supposed to be sheer but there were a couple that it felt like I was applying tinted water to my nails. I do see myself using these for sandwiching glitters with though so if you like to do that you'll enjoy these! Personally I really like jellies but I like them to be opaque enough to build up without a bajillion coats and most of these just don't work for that, at least not for me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I used Butter London Nail Foundation for my base for all of these, I did not use a top coat for any of these since they dry pretty shiny on their own. Each of these is the polish on it's own....I felt like layering them over white would kind of defeat the purpose of them being jellies :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are You Jelly? is a purple jelly. Out of all the jellies this one is my favorite. It was a little bit patchy but one of the more opaque jellies. I used 3 coats for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heat Index is a hot pink jelly. This is one of the brightest in this half of the collection. I found this to be so so sheer though, I'd probably not wear this on it's own again but I think it'll be fun to layer with. I used 4 coats for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Isle See You Later is a blue jelly. I don't have much to say about this, it was just beyond sheer and it didn't build well at all. I wanted to like this one but I'll probably be passing it along to a friend since I don't feel like I'll ever even want to try layering with this. I used 4 coats for the photos below and it was no where near being opaque to the point where I would wear it out. &lt;br /&gt;

Keepin' It Teal is a teal jelly. This leans towards being a green teal on me. The formula was very thin and extremely sheer though it did build up better than Isle See You Later. I used 4 coats for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;

Shell-o is a coral jelly. This leans a bit more pink in person, it was difficult to photograph this one. This was another one that was extremely sheer but it built up better than I expected it to. I used 4 coats for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;

You Drive Me Coconuts is bright pink jelly. This has purple undertones and is a bit darker than Heat Index. The formula was the best of the jelly half of the collection, the opacity was what I look for in jellies...not too sheer but not as opaque as a creme. I used 3 coats for the photo below. &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Overall I'm pretty disappointed in this collection, the formula is pretty terrible on&amp;nbsp; most of these and the ones that aren't awful are all generic colors that I probably have dupes of. These all get a big huge pass from me, I'm having serious buyers regret about getting them :/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Sunsational Collection from China Glaze is available now if you want to buy online, I've seen it already on etailers like &lt;a href="http://transdesign.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Transdesign&lt;/a&gt; along with places like Amazon. I'm not sure when this will be in stores like Sally Beauty Supply or Ulta, I'm thinking it's probably a June release for China Glaze but I haven't gotten any official info about that yet :)&lt;/div&gt;

Hi guys! Hope you all had a great weekend, mine was nice and relaxing...but like always I wish it was a little longer :( &amp;nbsp;Anyway, today I have 4 new polishes from Ninja Polish to share with you. All 4 of these are additions to their Enigma Collection and they are all packed with all kinds of amazing shimmer! These were a surprise in the mail a couple of weeks ago and man...I have been loving them, one of them will most likely be one of my 2013 favorites (I'm sure you'll all know which one pretty easily lol)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check out all the swatches after the jump!&lt;br /&gt;

Pacific Coral is a gorgeous coral base with a strong golden shimmer. The shimmer does have a bit of a duochrome shift to it that is visible in some lights but unfortunately I couldn't seem to capture it with my camera. The shimmer was visible in pretty much every light which was nice! The formula was great, it was a nice consistency and the opacity was good. I used 2 coats for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;

100% Colombian is a dark blackened base with mutichromatic shimmer that shifts from red to gold and green. The multichrome isn't super crazy but it's very visible in certain lighting, I found it most visible in the regular lighting in my living room. The formula was good, it was a little sheer and patchy on the first coat but the 2nd coat evened it out and made it completely opaque. I used 2coats for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;

Mystic Glacier is a blue base with mutichromatic shimmer that shifts from red to gold and green. This one is cray cray amazing like whoa, I can't get enough of it. I wore this for a whole week straight which is pretty unusual for me! It's kind of like Clarins 230 but with a beautiful blue base instead of a reddish purple base. If you like 230 or any of the dupes you will love this. The mulitchrome was very strong and the shift was visible in all lights, even direct sunlight! The formula was good, this was on the sheer side, you could layer it if you wanted to but you don't have to. I used 3 coats on it's own for the photos below. I'm not sorry for the bajillion photos of this one :)&lt;br /&gt;

These next 3 photos are what this polish looked like on me most of the time, these were taken in the lighting in my office at work! I LOVE when a polish is fantastical in the setting where I spend most of my time!&lt;br /&gt;

Tweety is a bright yellow base with duochrome shimmer that shifts red and gold. The color shift in the shimmer is very slight, I could see it much more in the bottle than I could once this was on the nail. The formula was good, it was a little on the thick side but application was easy and it wasn't streaky like yellows tend to be. I used 3 coats for full opacity. All photos below are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hi guys! Happy weekend!! Anyone doing anything fun this weekend? I'm going to be basking in the beautiful weather we are having here, it's been straight up like Summer...it was in the 90's yesterday! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I have a review a kind of a little spam post of the new piCture pOlish matte top coat called g'day matte! This was just launched a couple of weeks ago and it's my personal favorite thing of all the new launches from piCture pOlish! I love matte top coats, usually anything that looks good shiny will look even better matte, especially glitters! As soon as I opened the package with g'day matte in it I was like I MUST MATTE ALL THE THINGS, I looked sort of crazy and possessed like the meme below (we've all been there, right?). Check out my review and a bunch of mattified glitters after the jump!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T9wlAwbj5x0/UYQVrTGUkgI/AAAAAAAATV0/Titqb5C6iZI/s1600/Matte+All+The+Things.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T9wlAwbj5x0/UYQVrTGUkgI/AAAAAAAATV0/Titqb5C6iZI/s640/Matte+All+The+Things.jpeg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;G'day matte is like I said, a matte top coat. You can apply this over any polish and it will mattify it! A good trick I like matte top coats for is smoothing out textured glitters (not the ones like the textures we've seen this year, just regular glitter...I hope that makes sense). I like to apply a coat of matte top coat then my regular shiny top coat. For some reason the matte top coat makes the glitter less top coat hungry. Does anyone else do that too?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When g'day matte came in the mail I put it aside and decided I'd just try it over a bunch of the glitters I was swatching over the weekend. I am pretty impressed with it, it dries down fast and super matte, sometimes matte top coats will dry down to a more satin matte finish but not this one! My only issue was that it was a little thick, but it didn't affect application. I do think that as I use this I will need to occasionally thin in but I don't think that's a big deal. If you've been looking for a good matte top coat this is a good option (plus it has pretty much the best name ever)!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is 1 coat of g'day matte used over a bunch of different glitters/layering combos. The names of the polishes used are captioned under each photo!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hi guys, happy Friday! Today I have swatches of an indie brand I'm pretty excited about called Super Black Lacquers. Super Black is made by &lt;a href="http://www.nataliedee.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Natalie Dee&lt;/a&gt; who I've been a big fan of years, if you've never seen her cartoons I suggest you go check them out! Last year Natalie started up Super Black and I've been itching to give them a try so I'm excited to finally have gotten to! Super Black offers a nice range of finishes and colors, everything from glitters to cremes and holographic polishes! Check out all the swatches after the jump! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Becky is a a navy blue jelly with small bright green glitter. This is my favorite of the bunch, I love unusual glitter combos and this is one I don't have already in my collection! The formula was great, a little sheer on the first coat but completely opaque with the 2nd coat! I used 2 coats for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;

When I wore Becky I ended up using a matte top coat over it (piCture pOlish g'day matte), I LOVED it this way! Both photos below are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;

Drunk Dial is a magenta jelly with holographic gold and red glitter. It's hard to see the holographic-ness of the gold glitter in photos but it's visible in person! The formula was good, I thought this would be very sheer but it built really easily and was opaque in 2 coats!Both photos below are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;

Hello, Officer is a blue creme. I love that Super Black is doing cremes, I know that a lot of people shy away from indies because they don't like crazy glitters, for those of you who are like that you'll like this one also! The formula was good, it was a little bit more thin that I usually like my cremes to be but application was easy and it was opaque in 2 coats. This dries a little bit satin matte so I did use a top coat for the photos. Both photos below are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Whale is a medium grey with a strong blue shimmer. The blue shimmer has a tiny bit of a purple shift to it but I couldn't capture it with my camera :( I'm really impressed with this polish mostly because of the formula, it seems like whenever I have a great polish with an awesome shimmer it's always super sheer but this was pretty much the complete opposite! The formula was fantastic and nearly opaque in 1 coat! I used 2 coats for the photos below, the shimmer was visible inside and out in the sun! All photos below are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Torque is a blue holo. This is pretty much perfection, this was more linear looking in person but hard to capture with my camera. The formula was pretty much flawless, I was like :O when I started applying this. If the rest of the Super Black holos are also like that I will be needing to buy them all right now! This was opaque in 1 coat but I ended up doing 2 to deepen the blue a bit. I did use top coat for the photo, it didn't dull the holo! All photos below are in natural sunlight. &lt;br /&gt;

Hi guys! Today I have a new brand called Chrome Girl to share with you! Chrome Girl recently launched back in February with 18 shades, I heard about them through one of my favorite local beauty boutiques, Planet Beauty, when they hosted their launch party not too long ago. I was pretty excited to try the brand out, I always love trying out new brands and getting to share them with you guys if you haven't heard of them yet! Check out more photos after the jump!&lt;br /&gt;

Barely Legal is a light sky blue creme. The formula was pretty great, it was nice and creamy. It was a little streaky on the first coat but it was very minor, especially for such a light shade like this. I used 2 coats for full opacity.&lt;br /&gt;

Endless Summer is a bright sunny yellow with a subtle shimmer. The shimmer is pretty faint once you apply the polish but when the sun hit the nail right you could see it. The formula was alright, yellows are tough! It went on a bit streaky but the opacity was good, I used 3 coats to even it out.&lt;br /&gt;

Pillow Talk is a light bubblegum pink creme. This reminds me a bit of something like OPI Pink Friday! The formula was nice, it was a lot like Barely Legal...very creamy and easy to apply. It was streaky on the first coat but completely even and opaque with the second coat. &lt;br /&gt;

Party Star is a holographic glitter top coat. This is SO sparkly, I was cursing my camera for not being able to pick it up in all it's glory....I even tried making a video and even that wasn't doing it much justice. If you like the look of China Glaze Fairy Dust this is a polish you will like, it's very similar in the effect but the glitter is a bit finer. The formula was good, great glitter coverage! I used 1 coat over Pillow Talk for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hi guys! Can you believe it's May 1st?!? I feel like April went pretty slowly for me but the year as a whole is going by way too fast for my liking. Today I have the 3 new blogger collaboration shades that piCture pOlish just recently released. I've been looking forward to these, it's fun to see what other bloggers come up with since they are usually things I feel like I'm also missing in my collection!&amp;nbsp; Check out the swatches after the jump!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Hope is a dark navy blue with a scattered holographic sparkle and a sprinkle of blue glitter. This shade is a collaboration with a french blog called &lt;a href="http://vernisenfolie.com/2013/04/21/dream-big-live-high-hope-by-vernis-en-folie-picture-polish/" target="_blank"&gt;Vernis en Folie&lt;/a&gt;. I'm loving this color, it's like a darker version of Cosmos and the blue glitter adds really nice dimension to the shade! The formula was great, it was a bit sheer on the first coat because of the jelly base but it was completely opaque in 2 coats! All photos below are in natural sunlight, it's much more sparkly in real life!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Ocean is a turquoise/teal blue jelly with a shattered holographic shimmer. This is a collaboration with Kelly's Kolors, to check out the whole color story behind it you can visit Kelly's blog by clicking &lt;a href="http://www.kellyskolors.com/2013/04/picture-polish-ocean-by-kellys-kolors.html" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. -The formula was good, but this was on the sheer side. I used 3 coats for the photos below and could still see some visible nail line so 4 would probably be best if you have free edge on your nails...if your nails are on the shorter side 3 coats would probably be perfect for you! Just like with Hope this is much more sparkly in real life!All photos below are in the natural sunlight. &lt;br /&gt;

Shocked is a hot pink jelly with a scattered holographic shimmer. Shocked is a collaboration shade with Shatter Me Claire, to read Sarah's post about how the color came to be check out her blog &lt;a href="http://shattermeclaire.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/picture-polish-shocked.html" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. The formula was good on this, it was also a bit sheer but it built easily and was completely opaque with 3 coats. All of the&amp;nbsp; photos below are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;

So what do you guys think? I really like all 3 shades though Hope is my favorite of the 3 personally! I love the way that piCture pOlish does these scattered holographic polishes, if you are a fan of their past ones (like Cosmos or Monroe) you will love these!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Hi guys! Today I have some of Zoya's Summer 2013 goodies to share with you! Zoya recently released a whole bunch of new polishes including shimmer, cremes and new PixieDust shades! I'll have swatches of everything up eventually and I'm starting off today with the Irresistible Collection which is 6 new foil like shimmers! I'm always a big fan of what Zoya gives us each Summer, especially the shimmery shades like this! Check out swatches of each polish by clicking the read more button under the collage!&lt;br /&gt;

Amy is a super saturated red orange with a golden shimmer. This pull a little more orange than it looks in my sun photos but it's a very obvious red/orange. The formula was great, I loved the consistency of the polish and the opacity was great. I used 2 coats for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;

Bobbi is a magenta foil. There is a bit of silver, orange and gold shimmer running throughout this that you can see a little bit in the shade but more obvious in my photo than it is in person. The formula was great on this polish, it was a tiny bit on the thick side but very easy to apply and super opaque. You could easily get away with 1 coat! I used 2 coats for the photos below.&lt;br /&gt;

Hazel is an icy blue metallic shimmer with bits of gold shimmer mixed in. This reminds me a lot of Zoya Crystal from a couple years back, I haven't put them side by side yet but if you like one you'll definitely like the other. The formula was a little thick but application was easy and the opacity was really great. My only issue was this was that it didn't seem to want to dry on me but that could just be a top coat issue since Zoya doesn't always play well with everything. I used 2 coats for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;

Kerry is a yellow gold foil like shimmer. This is a bit brighter and more yellow in person, it's wanting to look a bit more gold in photos than it was in real life for some reason. I usually don't go for shades like this but since it's pull more yellow and less gold on me I like it! The formula was good but it was on the sheer side. I used 3 coats for full opacity.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

Rikki is a fern green metallic foil like shimmer with bits of gold shimmer mixed in. For me this is like the green version of Zoya Fei Fei, I think it's the chunky bits of gold shimmer that are reminding me of that polish. I really like this one! The formula was great, as was the opacity. I used 2 coats for the photos below.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

Tinsley is a rosy pink with a very strong golden shimmer. This is a favorite in the collection for me because of how completely different it looks depending on your lighting. Out in the sun it glows and then in the shade it morphs into a more orangey looking shade that is gorgeous! The formula was good but also on the sheer side though it built easily. I used 3 coats for full opacity.&lt;br /&gt;

The Irresistible Collection from Zoya is available at Zoya.com now for $8 a bottle! &lt;/div&gt;

Hi guys! Today I have some Incoco nail strips to share with you called Very Rosy. For Spring Incoco has put out a new collection of nail strips called Freshly Picked Florals. I was looking for something to wear on my nails a few weeks ago and these jumped out at me! I like this design because it's simple and a little girly but not over the top!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wore these for 5 days and had no issues with chipping or peeling, I only ended up removing them because I couldn't stand looking at big gap from my nails growing. The first 2 photos below are from the day I applied Very Rosy and the 2nd two photos are from the day I took them off and are labeled "5 days of wear".&lt;br /&gt;

Hi guys! Hope you're all having a good weekend, I'm sad it's almost over! Today I have a couple new piCture pOlish goodies to share with you. Last week piCture pOlish launched a whole bunch of new things including 3 new collaboration shades, a matte top coat, a glitter base coat and a beautiful glitter bomb! I'll have swatches of the matte top coat and collaboration shades for you soon but today I have the glitter base coat, Revolution, and the glitter bomb, Blogger, to share with you! Check out swatches after the jump!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Blogger is a multicolored glitter, there is a little bit of every color in here all in a clear base. The glitter is super dense which makes it easy to get a ton of glitter onto the nail for layering, you can also easily wear this on it's with 2-3 coats. The formula is on the thick side because of how much glitter there is, I didn't find it hard to apply because of this, I actually found that it made it easy to apply. If you don't like the thickness a bit of thinner would definitely help! I used 1 coat of Blogger over each base color below! Both photos are in the shade.&lt;br /&gt;

Revolution is a brand new base coat specifically designed to make removing glitter easier. It is water based and has a pretty thin consistency. To use it you apply 2 thin coats and allow it to completely dry, then apply your polish and regular top coat. Removal is a breeze, I saturate a cotton pad with my regular OPI Expert Touch remover and hold it on the nail for about 15 seconds then with a gentle scrub with the cotton pad all the glitter comes off. No foil required!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've been testing out the base coat for a little while and have really been loving it, the wear time I've gotten with it has been great...just as good (if not better) than my regular base coats with glitter!&lt;br /&gt;

Hi :D Long time no see. Sorry for the absence...I've been really sick the past couple weeks. I was in and out of the hospital a couple of times last week and this week I've managed to get myself to work and when I've gotten home I've been too exhausted to even open my computer. Hopefully things will be back to normal around here now that I feel somewhat human again, I have a lot that I'm excited to swatch and show so *fingers crossed!*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I have 3 of the polishes from the Mermaids Collection from Deborah Lippmann for Summer 2013 to share with you. There are 4 new shades that go along with Mermaid's Dream that came out last year. I was a little bit scared of these, I never really liked Mermaid's Dream in photos...it just looked like glitter in a really frosty base. I have to say though, I really like these, now I'm toying with the idea of finally picking up Mermaid's Dream! I'm so excited to FINALLY share these with you guys, I've been holding onto these swatches for over a month waiting for them to be in stock on Deborah Lippmann's website haha!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do The Mermaid is a light lilac base packed with a slight gold shimmer and a ton of purple glitter.&amp;nbsp; This is my personal favorite of the 3 polishes today! The formula was good, the consistency was nice and application was easy. Do The Mermaid was a bit sheer though so I used 3 coats to get it opaque.All photos are in natural sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mermaid's Kiss is a light rosy pink base with a strong golden shimmer and darker pink glitter. I love the shimmer in this one because of how noticeable it is and because it contrasts with the base color and the glitter nicely. The formula was a bit on the thick side but it was easy to apply. This was also on the sheer side, I used 3 coats for full opacity. All photos are in natural sunlight. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Million Dollar Mermaid is a light orange base with golden shimmer and orange glitter. To me this feels the most summery even though it's not an in your face kind of orange. The formula was great but like the others...sheer. I used 3 coats for full opacity, all photos are in natural sunlight.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

Deborah Lippmann's Mermaid's Collection is available now at &lt;a href="http://lippmanncollection.stores.yahoo.net/allproducts.html"&gt;DeborahLippmann.com&lt;/a&gt; they are $19 each (seems that she's raised her prices since the last time I looked...bummed). You can also find Deborah Lippmann polishes at places like Nordstroms and Ulta. If you are in the So Cal area like me you can also get them at Planet Beauty! &lt;/div&gt;

Hi guys, hope you're all having a good day so far! My day is alright, last night on my way to Target after work some idiot was doing an illegal turn and ran right into me. I'm fine but my car is another story...luckily I wasn't hurt but I'll probably be without my car for a little bit while it gets fixed :( Today I have a couple Dollish Polish shades to share with you. Recently Dolly released a ton of new polishes and these 2 caught my eye when she restocked...since then a whole bunch of others have too but I haven't gotten around to buying them yet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chilling With Mike &amp;amp; Ike is a milky light green jelly base packed with red, green and gold. I had to get this one mostly because I loved Mike &amp;amp; Ikes as a kid, it used to be my go to movie snack! The formula was a little thick so I thinned it before applying my second coat and it was good to go after that. I would recommend waiting a few minutes between coats or it does tend to drag off the previous layer. I used 3 coats for the photos below. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Gotham City is bright blue glitter mixed with black glitter in a clear base. I love this as an alternative to black and white glitter. I found this to be so hard to photograph though, not sure why...so there is only 1 photo below. I promise, it's pretty awesome in real life! The formula was on the thick side so thinner was necessary but application was easy and the glitter payoff was good. I used 1 coat over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Wall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
