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; reviews after the jump!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yiyRTipBAJw/UZMExbXCgaI/AAAAAAAATrU/jEDA4aj-pQY/s1600/Orly+Summer+2013+Mash+Up+Collection.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yiyRTipBAJw/UZMExbXCgaI/AAAAAAAATrU/jEDA4aj-pQY/s640/Orly+Summer+2013+Mash+Up+Collection.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /><br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rRshElmgU-8/UZK-N0mXgrI/AAAAAAAATpY/k7gbrzJaUyA/s1600/Orly+Beautiful+Disaster+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rRshElmgU-8/UZK-N0mXgrI/AAAAAAAATpY/k7gbrzJaUyA/s640/Orly+Beautiful+Disaster+1.JPG" width="408" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I78b44sLkxU/UZK-QNmcvwI/AAAAAAAATpg/ESs0tlhpTKE/s1600/Orly+Beautiful+Disaster+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I78b44sLkxU/UZK-QNmcvwI/AAAAAAAATpg/ESs0tlhpTKE/s640/Orly+Beautiful+Disaster+2.JPG" width="518" /></a></div> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9_j1xTgc7go/UZK-RfI5sHI/AAAAAAAATpo/WfPvs_aB1KA/s1600/Orly+Choreographed+Chaos+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9_j1xTgc7go/UZK-RfI5sHI/AAAAAAAATpo/WfPvs_aB1KA/s640/Orly+Choreographed+Chaos+1.JPG" width="510" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pejmh_86w10/UZK-Us31m8I/AAAAAAAATp4/AVeHQp6rZ0c/s1600/Orly+Choreographed+Chaos+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pejmh_86w10/UZK-Us31m8I/AAAAAAAATp4/AVeHQp6rZ0c/s640/Orly+Choreographed+Chaos+2.JPG" width="426" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C_yRSx4gkPI/UZK-T4vgwBI/AAAAAAAATpw/WTYrvRlijtE/s1600/Orly+Choreographed+Chaos+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="524" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C_yRSx4gkPI/UZK-T4vgwBI/AAAAAAAATpw/WTYrvRlijtE/s640/Orly+Choreographed+Chaos+3.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NFVHlvJI3Is/UZK-XboADeI/AAAAAAAATqA/dQU2ketGYsQ/s1600/Orly+Harmonious+Mess+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NFVHlvJI3Is/UZK-XboADeI/AAAAAAAATqA/dQU2ketGYsQ/s640/Orly+Harmonious+Mess+1.JPG" width="394" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ucgrFaSoHCc/UZK-Z8nz9nI/AAAAAAAATqI/jBZ8_ybf1iE/s1600/Orly+Harmonious+Mess+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ucgrFaSoHCc/UZK-Z8nz9nI/AAAAAAAATqI/jBZ8_ybf1iE/s640/Orly+Harmonious+Mess+2.JPG" width="488" /></a></div> <br /> 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!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P50T1xI8ImU/UZK-b6y1z3I/AAAAAAAATqQ/DjmUqD3kkR4/s1600/Orly+Mayhem+Mentality+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P50T1xI8ImU/UZK-b6y1z3I/AAAAAAAATqQ/DjmUqD3kkR4/s640/Orly+Mayhem+Mentality+1.JPG" width="430" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iKYUuEcfqIc/UZK-cITXBgI/AAAAAAAATqY/LltKQS47bNo/s1600/Orly+Mayhem+Mentality+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iKYUuEcfqIc/UZK-cITXBgI/AAAAAAAATqY/LltKQS47bNo/s640/Orly+Mayhem+Mentality+2.JPG" width="526" /></a></div> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CpIAQKewIZ0/UZK-oGNhkCI/AAAAAAAATqo/IIlJzDFH2ew/s1600/Orly+Pretty-Ugly+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CpIAQKewIZ0/UZK-oGNhkCI/AAAAAAAATqo/IIlJzDFH2ew/s640/Orly+Pretty-Ugly+1.JPG" width="404" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-43eQV8Fhbo0/UZK-mtwRlHI/AAAAAAAATqg/F8CUTWrucgY/s1600/Orly+Pretty-Ugly+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-43eQV8Fhbo0/UZK-mtwRlHI/AAAAAAAATqg/F8CUTWrucgY/s640/Orly+Pretty-Ugly+2.JPG" width="512" /></a></div> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vBIjFY_tsYw/UZK-qIs8i5I/AAAAAAAATqw/llzWQZYJlmY/s1600/Orly+Sparkling+Garbage+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vBIjFY_tsYw/UZK-qIs8i5I/AAAAAAAATqw/llzWQZYJlmY/s640/Orly+Sparkling+Garbage+1.JPG" width="500" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9in94pdMy5Y/UZK-ypwLRNI/AAAAAAAATq4/JkC95gZppGU/s1600/Orly+Sparkling+Garbage+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9in94pdMy5Y/UZK-ypwLRNI/AAAAAAAATq4/JkC95gZppGU/s640/Orly+Sparkling+Garbage+2.JPG" width="476" /></a></div> <br /> 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.

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..

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.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BgIDEzL0x5c/UZMEL8OfnMI/AAAAAAAATrM/A2Z6kbEjTRc/s1600/Essie+Neon+2013+Collection+Swatches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BgIDEzL0x5c/UZMEL8OfnMI/AAAAAAAATrM/A2Z6kbEjTRc/s640/Essie+Neon+2013+Collection+Swatches.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Check out the swatches &amp; review by clicking the read more button below!<br /> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /><br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UvkgvC1xxgM/UZK6rGUrbsI/AAAAAAAATns/6C-DH7uJBfY/s1600/Essie+Boom+Boom+Room+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UvkgvC1xxgM/UZK6rGUrbsI/AAAAAAAATns/6C-DH7uJBfY/s640/Essie+Boom+Boom+Room+1.JPG" width="504" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6EtnRWZRvdc/UZK6svGsP1I/AAAAAAAATn0/l4WxGUAqOjc/s1600/Essie+Boom+Boom+Room+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6EtnRWZRvdc/UZK6svGsP1I/AAAAAAAATn0/l4WxGUAqOjc/s640/Essie+Boom+Boom+Room+2.JPG" width="486" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> Bottle Service is a bright fuchsia.

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.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t5dkeZdH1uU/UZK6zLsI0MI/AAAAAAAAToM/shP4uLM8Qdw/s1600/Essie+Bouncer+It%27s+Me+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t5dkeZdH1uU/UZK6zLsI0MI/AAAAAAAAToM/shP4uLM8Qdw/s640/Essie+Bouncer+It%27s+Me+1.JPG" width="444" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FAbndbxnTng/UZK61HboI3I/AAAAAAAAToU/pa-17n7Of90/s1600/Essie+Bouncer+It%27s+Me+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FAbndbxnTng/UZK61HboI3I/AAAAAAAAToU/pa-17n7Of90/s640/Essie+Bouncer+It%27s+Me+2.JPG" width="470" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2wKlGDkqPzg/UZK62ov1khI/AAAAAAAAToc/UZAd0fzExgY/s1600/Essie+Bouncer+It%27s+Me+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2wKlGDkqPzg/UZK62ov1khI/AAAAAAAAToc/UZAd0fzExgY/s640/Essie+Bouncer+It%27s+Me+3.JPG" width="430" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> 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. &nbsp;<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PCGCbWiDI-U/UZK64lK7GYI/AAAAAAAATok/6h7ZAZAYS6c/s1600/Essie+DJ+Play+That+Song+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PCGCbWiDI-U/UZK64lK7GYI/AAAAAAAATok/6h7ZAZAYS6c/s640/Essie+DJ+Play+That+Song+1.JPG" width="436" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZrrtTSKWWo8/UZK65-_2yII/AAAAAAAATos/BQcAVt2BFmI/s1600/Essie+DJ+Play+That+Song+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZrrtTSKWWo8/UZK65-_2yII/AAAAAAAATos/BQcAVt2BFmI/s640/Essie+DJ+Play+That+Song+2.JPG" width="528" /></a></div> <br /> 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.

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.

Today I have swatches of the new OPI Couture de Minnie Collection to share with you! Last year OPI did a <a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2012/04/opi-vintage-minnie-mouse-collection.html" target="_blank">Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection </a>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!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oyk58jFf0hY/UZGiCzh7NzI/AAAAAAAATnQ/7p707vEEM4Y/s640/OPI+Couture+de+Minnie+Collection.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> 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.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eKCGLtvvbfc/UZFyY4ETpcI/AAAAAAAATlY/1XRKEM6SFV0/s1600/OPI+A+Definite+Moust-Have+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eKCGLtvvbfc/UZFyY4ETpcI/AAAAAAAATlY/1XRKEM6SFV0/s640/OPI+A+Definite+Moust-Have+1.JPG" width="444" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XmNTDGeZrfw/UZFybo5gsAI/AAAAAAAATlc/ZBT5lM2sHIo/s1600/OPI+A+Definite+Moust-Have+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XmNTDGeZrfw/UZFybo5gsAI/AAAAAAAATlc/ZBT5lM2sHIo/s640/OPI+A+Definite+Moust-Have+2.JPG" width="500" /></a></div> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mLvS610Ct24/UZFydsgCQoI/AAAAAAAATlk/Uj8IF4E3k6A/s1600/OPI+Chic+From+Ears+To+Tail+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mLvS610Ct24/UZFydsgCQoI/AAAAAAAATlk/Uj8IF4E3k6A/s640/OPI+Chic+From+Ears+To+Tail+1.JPG" width="464" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pMBBm1V9FDc/UZFyftQym0I/AAAAAAAATl0/K5L0qufLeW8/s1600/OPI+Chic+From+Ears+To+Tail+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pMBBm1V9FDc/UZFyftQym0I/AAAAAAAATl0/K5L0qufLeW8/s640/OPI+Chic+From+Ears+To+Tail+2.JPG" width="520" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-82T6EaxrwGE/UZFyfj1S6sI/AAAAAAAATlw/n6r74hUmvQE/s1600/OPI+Chic+From+Ears+To+Tail+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="452" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-82T6EaxrwGE/UZFyfj1S6sI/AAAAAAAATlw/n6r74hUmvQE/s640/OPI+Chic+From+Ears+To+Tail+3.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e1fxBxhZMwE/UZFyiT2kseI/AAAAAAAATmA/jLcqflF_MWI/s1600/OPI+Innie+Minnie+Mightie+Bow+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e1fxBxhZMwE/UZFyiT2kseI/AAAAAAAATmA/jLcqflF_MWI/s640/OPI+Innie+Minnie+Mightie+Bow+1.JPG" width="432" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VY076JRSYQU/UZFylNE9j3I/AAAAAAAATmI/Q_RrdBpN6Ds/s1600/OPI+Innie+Minnie+Mightie+Bow+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VY076JRSYQU/UZFylNE9j3I/AAAAAAAATmI/Q_RrdBpN6Ds/s640/OPI+Innie+Minnie+Mightie+Bow+2.JPG" width="516" /></a></div> <br /> 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! &nbsp;All photos are in natural sunlight.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XpJxDObX1No/UZFyrN08_tI/AAAAAAAATmQ/sG2Jr4JZESY/s1600/OPI+Magazine+Cover+Mouse+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XpJxDObX1No/UZFyrN08_tI/AAAAAAAATmQ/sG2Jr4JZESY/s640/OPI+Magazine+Cover+Mouse+1.JPG" width="444" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TAWrxB9TC_Q/UZFyrYzmMwI/AAAAAAAATmY/7fI-K2_r07U/s1600/OPI+Magazine+Cover+Mouse+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TAWrxB9TC_Q/UZFyrYzmMwI/AAAAAAAATmY/7fI-K2_r07U/s640/OPI+Magazine+Cover+Mouse+2.JPG" width="512" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vxxBpLdPRm4/UZFyuouPBMI/AAAAAAAATmg/x89s48yfMLg/s1600/OPI+Magazine+Cover+Mouse+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vxxBpLdPRm4/UZFyuouPBMI/AAAAAAAATmg/x89s48yfMLg/s640/OPI+Magazine+Cover+Mouse+3.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tiANqZ7mdck/UZFyx7gU59I/AAAAAAAATmo/oYUccnVSKAs/s1600/OPI+Magazine+Cover+Mouse+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tiANqZ7mdck/UZFyx7gU59I/AAAAAAAATmo/oYUccnVSKAs/s640/OPI+Magazine+Cover+Mouse+4.JPG" width="506" /></a></div> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BtPaG8lVgcY/UZFy3wE51PI/AAAAAAAATm0/N3isris6S7g/s1600/OPI+Minnie+Style+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BtPaG8lVgcY/UZFy3wE51PI/AAAAAAAATm0/N3isris6S7g/s640/OPI+Minnie+Style+1.JPG" width="458" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gF6YJNqEPmA/UZFy4GtTs5I/AAAAAAAATm8/_8gkeS1goUs/s1600/OPI+Minnie+Style+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gF6YJNqEPmA/UZFy4GtTs5I/AAAAAAAATm8/_8gkeS1goUs/s640/OPI+Minnie+Style+2.JPG" width="548" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bxDbylMla5E/UZFy37rauzI/AAAAAAAATmw/sr5Ce5nUyWo/s1600/OPI+Minnie+Style+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="448" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bxDbylMla5E/UZFy37rauzI/AAAAAAAATmw/sr5Ce5nUyWo/s640/OPI+Minnie+Style+3.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> </div> Overall I like this collection, Minnie Style and Magazine Cover Mouse are my picks from the collection.

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!<br /> <br /> 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<a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/01/nails-inc-feathers-collection-swatches.html" target="_blank"> Nails Inc Feather</a> polishes so I decided to not buy them.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><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" /></a></div> Check out the swatches &amp; reviews by clicking the read more button below.<br /> <br /> <a name='more'></a>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.<br /> <br /> Fuzzy Fantasy is light green and white bar glitter in a clear base. I used this over Orly Pretty-Ugly.

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!<br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><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;"><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" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><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;"><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" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: office lighting (how exciting)</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> 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.

Today I have the 2nd half of Zoya's Summer 2013 Collection, the Stunning Collection!

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. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t7j04f3ZM_M/UYmKzdcC6GI/AAAAAAAATfk/khDlUi12w9Q/s640/Zoya+Darcy+1.JPG" width="470" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JNsoCFZouSg/UYmLJUCnqKI/AAAAAAAATfs/r2N00CBC7NY/s640/Zoya+Darcy+2.JPG" width="512" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iZZbkVmcAsc/UYmLa1nChmI/AAAAAAAATf0/4fB_Y1mNsBs/s640/Zoya+Josie+1.JPG" width="424" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uZ57yzYfn88/UYmLt85_XFI/AAAAAAAATf8/aO92GAmbwm4/s640/Zoya+Josie+2.JPG" width="474" /></a></div> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9lqH-wusCes/UYmMMPZS4uI/AAAAAAAATgE/k24brgCL2bc/s640/Zoya+Micky+1.JPG" width="422" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mx5xUivVypk/UYmMP27c8cI/AAAAAAAATgM/6pFpEbfYOrc/s640/Zoya+Micky+2.JPG" width="496" /></a></div> <br /> 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.

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.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-69aNvhI_P3M/UYmMVHQk8sI/AAAAAAAATgk/E6i3VQlRygM/s640/Zoya+Thandie+1.JPG" width="454" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><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" /></a></div> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-576rh40lQKo/UYmMZ0jgRmI/AAAAAAAATg0/nOVQwk26hOA/s640/Zoya+Yana+1.JPG" width="428" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KEvc_b-fobs/UYmMbOOVMlI/AAAAAAAATg8/zBeRrghsAb0/s640/Zoya+Yana+2.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> <br /> Overall I really like this half of Zoya's Summer offerings. The colors are great for Summer and a couple are unexpected.

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 <a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/05/picture-polish-gday-matte-swatches.html" target="_blank">clicking here</a>!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yzkrOyYYdlA/UYmgmtJfpII/AAAAAAAAThM/zU0p3OYmGs4/s1600/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Spring+Collection.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yzkrOyYYdlA/UYmgmtJfpII/AAAAAAAAThM/zU0p3OYmGs4/s640/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Spring+Collection.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Check out my swatches and reviews by clicking the read more button below!<br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /> <br /> 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! <br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lvh5ECLzfOQ/UYQfluZmJcI/AAAAAAAATW8/KnfL8oMUA54/s1600/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+14+Carrots+1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lvh5ECLzfOQ/UYQfluZmJcI/AAAAAAAATW8/KnfL8oMUA54/s640/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+14+Carrots+1.jpeg" width="450" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oSrLQjEeQKI/UYQf2cGCHAI/AAAAAAAATXE/MZWqgAbr0kI/s1600/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+14+Carrots+2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oSrLQjEeQKI/UYQf2cGCHAI/AAAAAAAATXE/MZWqgAbr0kI/s640/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+14+Carrots+2.jpeg" width="504" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d7mUw9cMFm4/UYQgIJkW9GI/AAAAAAAATXM/UzssaNWOn2I/s1600/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+14+Carrots+3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d7mUw9cMFm4/UYQgIJkW9GI/AAAAAAAATXM/UzssaNWOn2I/s640/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+14+Carrots+3.jpeg" width="608" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ATBLBotPUQw/UYQglc-27ZI/AAAAAAAATXU/PvZb7-ozhfo/s1600/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Back+To+The+Garden+1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ATBLBotPUQw/UYQglc-27ZI/AAAAAAAATXU/PvZb7-ozhfo/s640/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Back+To+The+Garden+1.jpeg" width="456" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_rSEUvp0mw8/UYQg7yxgClI/AAAAAAAATXc/lK0iN4cizOc/s1600/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Back+To+The+Garden+2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_rSEUvp0mw8/UYQg7yxgClI/AAAAAAAATXc/lK0iN4cizOc/s640/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Back+To+The+Garden+2.jpeg" width="576" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> 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 <a href="http://www.xoxojen.com/2013/04/whimsical-ideas-spring-collection-2013.html#more" target="_blank">xoxo, Jen</a> 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. <br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ii43fXQ0gYk/UYQhYNXRiUI/AAAAAAAATXk/GtkO8ukkrRk/s1600/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Crazy+Daisies+1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ii43fXQ0gYk/UYQhYNXRiUI/AAAAAAAATXk/GtkO8ukkrRk/s640/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Crazy+Daisies+1.jpeg" width="458" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-skUPVpO4Ql4/UYQhxwEtIiI/AAAAAAAATXs/lqSeJ5WPt_A/s1600/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Crazy+Daisies+2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-skUPVpO4Ql4/UYQhxwEtIiI/AAAAAAAATXs/lqSeJ5WPt_A/s640/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Crazy+Daisies+2.jpeg" width="498" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gQdSDYmFvl4/UYQiRg7rDEI/AAAAAAAATX0/fPqbIsRoDxI/s1600/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Crazy+Daisies+3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gQdSDYmFvl4/UYQiRg7rDEI/AAAAAAAATX0/fPqbIsRoDxI/s640/Whimsical+Ideas+by+Pam+Crazy+Daisies+3.jpeg" width="418" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <br /> La De Dots is multicolor dot glitter in a clear base.

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 <a href="http://instagram.com/thepolishaholic" target="_blank">Instagram</a> 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!<br /> <br /> 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; reviews by clicking the read more button under the collage!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CAsU7U1Nzqg/UYhCPm3etAI/AAAAAAAATfU/LJmMAE86YLI/s1600/China+Glaze+Sunsational+Collection.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CAsU7U1Nzqg/UYhCPm3etAI/AAAAAAAATfU/LJmMAE86YLI/s640/China+Glaze+Sunsational+Collection.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /> 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!<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 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.

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.<br /> <br /> 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 :)<br /> <br /> <br /> 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 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.

Hope you all had a great weekend, mine was nice and relaxing...but like always I wish it was a little longer :( &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)<br /> <br /> Check out all the swatches after the jump!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R3I45-ASBYM/UYcMstTL39I/AAAAAAAATaw/3sVYHPJ2QyM/s1600/Ninja+Polish+New+Enigma+Collection+Polishes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R3I45-ASBYM/UYcMstTL39I/AAAAAAAATaw/3sVYHPJ2QyM/s640/Ninja+Polish+New+Enigma+Collection+Polishes.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /><br /> 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. <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DL11eQiHevA/UYQj7JOLeWI/AAAAAAAATYU/DpA6JRXzXYQ/s1600/Ninja+Poish+Pacific+Coral+1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DL11eQiHevA/UYQj7JOLeWI/AAAAAAAATYU/DpA6JRXzXYQ/s640/Ninja+Poish+Pacific+Coral+1.jpeg" width="430" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bHuqbjgVBzQ/UYQj_K1TeHI/AAAAAAAATYc/7Dc71yJ-3po/s1600/Ninja+Poish+Pacific+Coral+2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bHuqbjgVBzQ/UYQj_K1TeHI/AAAAAAAATYc/7Dc71yJ-3po/s640/Ninja+Poish+Pacific+Coral+2.jpeg" width="454" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VzTP_d95ySw/UYQj_4f8G0I/AAAAAAAATYk/NCCwPsInMu4/s1600/Ninja+Poish+Pacific+Coral+3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VzTP_d95ySw/UYQj_4f8G0I/AAAAAAAATYk/NCCwPsInMu4/s640/Ninja+Poish+Pacific+Coral+3.jpeg" width="452" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <br /> 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.

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.

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.

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! <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> 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!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <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;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T9wlAwbj5x0/UYQVrTGUkgI/AAAAAAAATV0/Titqb5C6iZI/s640/Matte+All+The+Things.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <a name='more'></a>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?<br /> <br /> 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)!<br /> <br /> Below is 1 coat of g'day matte used over a bunch of different glitters/layering combos.

Today I have swatches of an indie brand I'm pretty excited about called Super Black Lacquers. Super Black is made by <a href="http://www.nataliedee.com/" target="_blank">Natalie Dee</a> 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! <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ap3Wqb9UPpc/UX8V_KQ0XNI/AAAAAAAATTg/PT9YI7TR_s0/s1600/Super+Black+Lacquer+Swatches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ap3Wqb9UPpc/UX8V_KQ0XNI/AAAAAAAATTg/PT9YI7TR_s0/s640/Super+Black+Lacquer+Swatches.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /><br /> 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.<br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LDvsNehkNzo/UX6l1Z-B8aI/AAAAAAAATOY/81UDrxPBitI/s1600/Super+Black+Becky+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LDvsNehkNzo/UX6l1Z-B8aI/AAAAAAAATOY/81UDrxPBitI/s640/Super+Black+Becky+1.JPG" width="462" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sf7DQ7A7JJ4/UX6l1icBFkI/AAAAAAAATOg/6YrtH0rGST0/s1600/Super+Black+Becky+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="502" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sf7DQ7A7JJ4/UX6l1icBFkI/AAAAAAAATOg/6YrtH0rGST0/s640/Super+Black+Becky+2.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> When I wore Becky I ended up using a matte top coat over it (piCture pOlish g'day matte), I LOVED it this way!

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.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tRAPi8ih3Cg/UX6mhhRXY0I/AAAAAAAATO4/ol7mORHoACU/s1600/Super+Black+Drunk+Dial+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tRAPi8ih3Cg/UX6mhhRXY0I/AAAAAAAATO4/ol7mORHoACU/s640/Super+Black+Drunk+Dial+1.JPG" width="452" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4MsTvuItMlc/UX6mnSPsnVI/AAAAAAAATPA/rFF2VfzRPgM/s1600/Super+Black+Drunk+Dial+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4MsTvuItMlc/UX6mnSPsnVI/AAAAAAAATPA/rFF2VfzRPgM/s640/Super+Black+Drunk+Dial+2.JPG" width="596" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y2CqT3kPHrU/UX6mqAoyyxI/AAAAAAAATPQ/oCxTjNCqPaw/s1600/Super+Black+Hello,+Officer+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y2CqT3kPHrU/UX6mqAoyyxI/AAAAAAAATPQ/oCxTjNCqPaw/s640/Super+Black+Hello,+Officer+1.JPG" width="498" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yThkOId9ZuI/UX6m0n2wQhI/AAAAAAAATPg/BUj4xPBwNXM/s1600/Super+Black+Hello,+Officer+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yThkOId9ZuI/UX6m0n2wQhI/AAAAAAAATPg/BUj4xPBwNXM/s640/Super+Black+Hello,+Officer+2.JPG" width="556" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-viGu6VMg3JE/UX6m1D64F_I/AAAAAAAATPo/EdNT6R-dvGA/s1600/Super+Black+The+Whale+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-viGu6VMg3JE/UX6m1D64F_I/AAAAAAAATPo/EdNT6R-dvGA/s640/Super+Black+The+Whale+1.JPG" width="468" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tkoCNTEpV2c/UX6m0MuksPI/AAAAAAAATPY/8MeefIFeLkQ/s1600/Super+Black+The+Whale+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tkoCNTEpV2c/UX6m0MuksPI/AAAAAAAATPY/8MeefIFeLkQ/s640/Super+Black+The+Whale+2.JPG" width="632" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9_rSjHmaLiE/UX6nVkpmmeI/AAAAAAAATPw/wl9bwaKv7n0/s1600/Super+Black+The+Whale+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9_rSjHmaLiE/UX6nVkpmmeI/AAAAAAAATPw/wl9bwaKv7n0/s640/Super+Black+The+Whale+3.JPG" width="416" /></a></div> <br /> 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!

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!

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!

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!&nbsp; Check out the swatches after the jump!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sD0UsjAWJrY/UX8VGUFWhLI/AAAAAAAATTQ/6dgrsBY39YY/s1600/piCture+pOlish+Collaboration+Shades+April+2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sD0UsjAWJrY/UX8VGUFWhLI/AAAAAAAATTQ/6dgrsBY39YY/s640/piCture+pOlish+Collaboration+Shades+April+2013.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> 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 <a href="http://vernisenfolie.com/2013/04/21/dream-big-live-high-hope-by-vernis-en-folie-picture-polish/" target="_blank">Vernis en Folie</a>. 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!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_jkdV_Lqppo/UX6y40RWOGI/AAAAAAAATQY/VqozstaJAJk/s1600/piCture+pOlish+Hope+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_jkdV_Lqppo/UX6y40RWOGI/AAAAAAAATQY/VqozstaJAJk/s640/piCture+pOlish+Hope+1.JPG" width="504" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GcMcPPhPtXA/UX6y8hd9JjI/AAAAAAAATQg/DWTXjdd4igk/s1600/piCture+pOlish+Hope+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GcMcPPhPtXA/UX6y8hd9JjI/AAAAAAAATQg/DWTXjdd4igk/s640/piCture+pOlish+Hope+2.JPG" width="492" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JffoK3-idoY/UX6zFgGDGII/AAAAAAAATQo/25I5vnS46_g/s1600/piCture+pOlish+Hope+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JffoK3-idoY/UX6zFgGDGII/AAAAAAAATQo/25I5vnS46_g/s640/piCture+pOlish+Hope+3.JPG" width="432" /></a></div> <br /> 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 <a href="http://www.kellyskolors.com/2013/04/picture-polish-ocean-by-kellys-kolors.html" target="_blank">here</a>. -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. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mmsel5vC65o/UX6zKjRw4mI/AAAAAAAATQw/g0SSscjZ15k/s1600/piCture+pOlish+Ocean+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mmsel5vC65o/UX6zKjRw4mI/AAAAAAAATQw/g0SSscjZ15k/s640/piCture+pOlish+Ocean+1.JPG" width="446" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_6U5RZD0Yx0/UX6zLOZO1TI/AAAAAAAATQ4/pJhxriSSO-4/s1600/piCture+pOlish+Ocean+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_6U5RZD0Yx0/UX6zLOZO1TI/AAAAAAAATQ4/pJhxriSSO-4/s640/piCture+pOlish+Ocean+2.JPG" width="596" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oQ6I4eWm8Wc/UX6zNBQPgiI/AAAAAAAATRA/nRiHhcw9Dro/s1600/piCture+pOlish+Ocean+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oQ6I4eWm8Wc/UX6zNBQPgiI/AAAAAAAATRA/nRiHhcw9Dro/s640/piCture+pOlish+Ocean+3.JPG" width="516" /></a></div> <br /> Shocked is a hot pink jelly with a scattered holographic 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!<br /> <br /> 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".<br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eC9Pet65dPQ/UX3PUlGXLVI/AAAAAAAATLg/t0wfDxq695Q/s1600/Incoco+Very+Rosy+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eC9Pet65dPQ/UX3PUlGXLVI/AAAAAAAATLg/t0wfDxq695Q/s640/Incoco+Very+Rosy+1.JPG" width="418" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jnRcJZ_gAG4/UX3PUrEVQjI/AAAAAAAATLk/YcImxNz-qPs/s1600/Incoco+Very+Rosy+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jnRcJZ_gAG4/UX3PUrEVQjI/AAAAAAAATLk/YcImxNz-qPs/s640/Incoco+Very+Rosy+2.JPG" width="428" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qIgzf2wD12U/UX3PYQeBH9I/AAAAAAAATL0/9E52D5CmYk4/s1600/Incoco+Very+Rosy+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qIgzf2wD12U/UX3PYQeBH9I/AAAAAAAATL0/9E52D5CmYk4/s640/Incoco+Very+Rosy+3.JPG" width="382" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f6yNPBC1f1c/UX3PYYSe_OI/AAAAAAAATLw/VuV9xcAmYQc/s1600/Incoco+Very+Rosy+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f6yNPBC1f1c/UX3PYYSe_OI/AAAAAAAATLw/VuV9xcAmYQc/s640/Incoco+Very+Rosy+4.JPG" width="578" /></a></div> <br /> Incoco is available at <a href="http://www.incoco.com/product.aspx?productid=505&amp;categoryid=133" target="_blank">Incoco.com</a> and they retail for $8.99!</div> <br /> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div align="right"> <a class="button white" href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/p/disclosure.html">press sample</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=aPM-OBZ3QVI:_vW6Hq9Y6S8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=aPM-OBZ3QVI:_vW6Hq9Y6S8:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=aPM-OBZ3QVI:_vW6Hq9Y6S8:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=aPM-OBZ3QVI:_vW6Hq9Y6S8:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?i=aPM-OBZ3QVI:_vW6Hq9Y6S8:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThePolishAholic/~4/aPM-OBZ3QVI" height="1" width="1"/>Jen PolishAholichttps://plus.google.com/106058711448233719410noreply@blogger.com15http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/04/incoco-very-rosy.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165136482457261879.post-86875294818528132842013-04-28T05:00:00.000-07:002013-04-28T05:00:00.621-07:002013-04-28T05:00:00.621-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div align="right"> <a class="button white" href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/p/disclosure.html">press sample</a></div> <br /> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Hi guys!

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!

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!<br /> <br /> 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!<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QeDyzaiBd0c/UXye3ENWGqI/AAAAAAAATLM/qfj0rSaEahY/s1600/piCture+pOlish+Revolution.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QeDyzaiBd0c/UXye3ENWGqI/AAAAAAAATLM/qfj0rSaEahY/s640/piCture+pOlish+Revolution.JPG" width="354" /></a></div> <br /></div> Both Blogger &amp; Revolution are available now on the <a href="http://picturepolish.com.au/" target="_blank">piCture pOlish website</a>, you can also find them at all of their network etailers like <a href="http://shop.llarowe.com/" target="_blank">Llarowe</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.harlowandco.org/" target="_blank">Harlow &amp; Co</a>.

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!*<br /> <br /> 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!<br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> <br /> Do The Mermaid is a light lilac base packed with a slight gold shimmer and a ton of purple glitter.&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.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q8lHPjzwMAE/UXmqW2nwU0I/AAAAAAAATJo/FPfzulccAkQ/s1600/Deborah+Lippmann+Do+The+Mermaid+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q8lHPjzwMAE/UXmqW2nwU0I/AAAAAAAATJo/FPfzulccAkQ/s640/Deborah+Lippmann+Do+The+Mermaid+1.JPG" width="520" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WjEs1R5mWcw/UXmqiX9Q1WI/AAAAAAAATJw/-xhHtfoSIaA/s1600/Deborah+Lippmann+Do+The+Mermaid+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WjEs1R5mWcw/UXmqiX9Q1WI/AAAAAAAATJw/-xhHtfoSIaA/s640/Deborah+Lippmann+Do+The+Mermaid+2.JPG" width="484" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjsKxc80zQQ/UXmqo8iPjfI/AAAAAAAATJ4/2Xhmr6d38jk/s1600/Deborah+Lippmann+Do+The+Mermaid+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjsKxc80zQQ/UXmqo8iPjfI/AAAAAAAATJ4/2Xhmr6d38jk/s640/Deborah+Lippmann+Do+The+Mermaid+3.JPG" width="452" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zmQffHQMlNY/UXmqsaTw8lI/AAAAAAAATKA/VryA0Jpk8Fk/s1600/Deborah+Lippmann+Mermaid%27s+Kiss+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zmQffHQMlNY/UXmqsaTw8lI/AAAAAAAATKA/VryA0Jpk8Fk/s640/Deborah+Lippmann+Mermaid%27s+Kiss+1.JPG" width="476" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KDGTbB4rbug/UXmq3rvw4-I/AAAAAAAATKI/MwyKfsoZRuA/s1600/Deborah+Lippmann+Mermaid%27s+Kiss+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KDGTbB4rbug/UXmq3rvw4-I/AAAAAAAATKI/MwyKfsoZRuA/s640/Deborah+Lippmann+Mermaid%27s+Kiss+2.JPG" width="440" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5t7C11qDh7A/UXmrM2bbR4I/AAAAAAAATKQ/uRH2lWvdjoc/s1600/Deborah+Lippmann+Mermaid%27s+Kiss+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5t7C11qDh7A/UXmrM2bbR4I/AAAAAAAATKQ/uRH2lWvdjoc/s640/Deborah+Lippmann+Mermaid%27s+Kiss+3.JPG" width="460" /></a></div> <br /> 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.

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. <br /> <br /> Chilling With Mike &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; 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. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bMoKCtUnIic/UWxR07mcwgI/AAAAAAAATJA/8a5FkyrUoiE/s1600/Dollish+Polish+Chilling+With+Mike+&amp;+Ike+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bMoKCtUnIic/UWxR07mcwgI/AAAAAAAATJA/8a5FkyrUoiE/s640/Dollish+Polish+Chilling+With+Mike+&amp;+Ike+2.JPG" width="442" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qUTKEiEwr14/UWxR1LXttkI/AAAAAAAATJI/YSt-4rrag6M/s1600/Dollish+Polish+Chilling+With+Mike+&amp;+Ike+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qUTKEiEwr14/UWxR1LXttkI/AAAAAAAATJI/YSt-4rrag6M/s640/Dollish+Polish+Chilling+With+Mike+&amp;+Ike+1.JPG" width="430" /></a></div> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vB2Ku37e5nM/UWxR7W8C1GI/AAAAAAAATJQ/oUsBsvCSZ5Y/s1600/Dollish+Polish+Gotham+City+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vB2Ku37e5nM/UWxR7W8C1GI/AAAAAAAATJQ/oUsBsvCSZ5Y/s640/Dollish+Polish+Gotham+City+1.JPG" width="464" /></a></div> <br /> Dollish Polish is available at <a href="http://dollishpolish.bigcartel.com/products" target="_blank">http://dollishpolish.bigcartel.com</a>, you can also find Dollish Polish at etailers like <a href="http://shop.llarowe.com/" target="_blank">Llarowe</a> and <a href="http://www.overallbeauty.com/" target="_blank">Overall Beauty</a>. </div> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=6oO__ExlvMk:xjiNWhJ7fbo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=6oO__ExlvMk:xjiNWhJ7fbo:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=6oO__ExlvMk:xjiNWhJ7fbo:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=6oO__ExlvMk:xjiNWhJ7fbo:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?i=6oO__ExlvMk:xjiNWhJ7fbo:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThePolishAholic/~4/6oO__ExlvMk" height="1" width="1"/>Jen PolishAholichttps://plus.google.com/106058711448233719410noreply@blogger.com15http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/04/Dollish-Polish-Chilling-With-Mike-Ike-Gotham-City.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165136482457261879.post-18557132954150656832013-04-15T04:20:00.000-07:002013-04-15T07:44:34.735-07:002013-04-15T07:44:34.735-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Hi guys, hope you all had a good weekend. Guess what today is? Today is my 3 year blogging birthday yay!! I can't believe i've been at this for 3 years already! I'm planning a little something special for it that I'll be posting soon, hopefully!<br /> <br /> Today I have a fun post for you, I've teamed up with Jesse's Girl Cosmetics to create a special until 4/22/13 for 6 of my favorite polishes from them at a special discounted price! &nbsp;I really love the polishes that Jesses Girl puts out, including their JulieG branded line so a bunch of those are included in this also!<br /> <br /> Until 4/22/13 you will be able to buy all 6 of these polishes for $20.01 from the Jesse's Girl website <a href="http://www.jessesgirlcosmetics.com/products/view/459" target="_blank">here</a>. Shipping is free (US Only) since it's over their $20 limit and they ship internationally! You can also pick up each polish individually for $3.34 each if you aren't interested in all 6. Check out swatches of all 6 polishes included in the special after the jump!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lt8Ku467kBA/UWtHXqANtQI/AAAAAAAATIg/okjirT8hYmo/s1600/Jesses+Girls+Favorites.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lt8Ku467kBA/UWtHXqANtQI/AAAAAAAATIg/okjirT8hYmo/s640/Jesses+Girls+Favorites.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /> <br /> Spring Break is a light but bright purple creme. I love this polish because it's almost a pastel but it's bright! It's a great summer color and a great shade for layering glitters over. The formula is good, a little sheer on the first coat but completely opaque with the second coat. I used 2 coats for the photos below.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vG0vJnEvxP4/UWtGPGWEETI/AAAAAAAATHA/6M9Zg-rbJPU/s1600/Jesses+Girl+Spring+Break+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vG0vJnEvxP4/UWtGPGWEETI/AAAAAAAATHA/6M9Zg-rbJPU/s640/Jesses+Girl+Spring+Break+1.jpg" width="622" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dg1gB3r-1xA/UWtGPZV2a4I/AAAAAAAATHE/2bU6WBROcOk/s1600/Jesses+Girl+Spring+Break+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dg1gB3r-1xA/UWtGPZV2a4I/AAAAAAAATHE/2bU6WBROcOk/s640/Jesses+Girl+Spring+Break+2.jpg" width="470" /></a></div> <br /> Secret Treasure is various sizes of fuchsia glitter in a clear base. This is a bit of a chameleon, over some shades (like Holla-Peno) Secret Treasure looks very pink and over others, like Spring Break, it leans very much towards purple. This goes beautifully over so many different base polishes! &nbsp;The formula is great, good glitter payoff and it's not thick at all. I used 1 coat over Spring Break for the photos below. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XYSJZ_ncr3g/UWtGY2C83EI/AAAAAAAATHQ/7YhRGBf3T6E/s1600/JulieG+Secret+Treasure+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XYSJZ_ncr3g/UWtGY2C83EI/AAAAAAAATHQ/7YhRGBf3T6E/s640/JulieG+Secret+Treasure+1.jpg" width="452" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F15sZi1yIP0/UWtGY_Hsl9I/AAAAAAAATHU/R4s2G89rVtI/s1600/JulieG+Secret+Treasure+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F15sZi1yIP0/UWtGY_Hsl9I/AAAAAAAATHU/R4s2G89rVtI/s640/JulieG+Secret+Treasure+2.jpg" width="448" /></a></div> <br /> Cabana Boy is a bright blue creme. I don't think anyone will be shocked that I love this, I have such a weakness for these types of blues. Cabana Boy is a bit brighter than Sally Hansen Pacific Blue but not as bright as Nails Inc Baker Street. The formula was great, very creamy and easy to apply. I used 2 coats for the photos below.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2mEOZjP768s/UWtGc79aQaI/AAAAAAAATHg/cpWWYuF__Uk/s1600/JulieG+Cabana+Boy+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2mEOZjP768s/UWtGc79aQaI/AAAAAAAATHg/cpWWYuF__Uk/s640/JulieG+Cabana+Boy+2.jpg" width="472" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J0_uwr3Cji8/UWtGc2c3KQI/AAAAAAAATHk/nDMNxckM_kY/s1600/JulieG+Cabana+Boy+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J0_uwr3Cji8/UWtGc2c3KQI/AAAAAAAATHk/nDMNxckM_kY/s640/JulieG+Cabana+Boy+1.jpg" width="422" /></a></div> <br /> Holla-Peno is a dusty green creme. You know I couldn't not include a green! When the new JulieG shades came out this was one that immediately caught my eye when my Rite Aid got their stock in. The formula of this polish is great, the consistency is nice and creamy and application is a breeze! I used 2 coats for the photos below.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i74tllMIg68/UWtGhKhqEtI/AAAAAAAATHw/Idzwc4UpzR0/s1600/JulieG+Holla-Peno+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i74tllMIg68/UWtGhKhqEtI/AAAAAAAATHw/Idzwc4UpzR0/s640/JulieG+Holla-Peno+2.jpg" width="560" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vx4oQYxZH2c/UWtGhdfc4OI/AAAAAAAATH4/y3DfxNRVVT4/s1600/JulieG+Holla-Peno+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vx4oQYxZH2c/UWtGhdfc4OI/AAAAAAAATH4/y3DfxNRVVT4/s640/JulieG+Holla-Peno+1.jpg" width="444" /></a></div> <br /> Cleopatra's Cobra is a mix of various sizes of gold glitter. Some of the gold glitter pieces in this are also holographic which is hard to capture in photographs. I picked this polish because it's so versatile and it's great for layering over so many different base colors. The formula was good, a little thick but easy to apply and the glitter payoff is great.

This is a bit reminiscent of China Glaze Keep Calm, Paint On but it's darker and more blue toned....if you liked that China Glaze you'll like this also! The formula was good, a little on the thick side but easy to apply.

Sorry for the short unexpected break for the last few days. If you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/thepolishaholic" target="_blank">Instagram</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/ThePolishAholic" target="_blank">Twitter</a> you might know what was going on, kind of. If not you were probably like what the heck happened to Jen?!? On Monday night I started having really bad stomach pain, unfortunately for me it's a pretty common thing and I've learned to live with it...however it was REALLY bad and not going away so I ended up taking a trip to the hospital. After about 6 hours, 6 vials of blood, a CT Scan and a bunch of pain medication I felt better-ish and went home with "unidentified abdominal pain". Since then I've just pretty much felt like crap, I've mostly slept since I got home from the hospital and I just didn't feel like editing photos or typing up blog posts. I feel a bit better now, I guess. &nbsp;This problem has been ongoing for nearly 5 years and no doctor can figure out wtf is wrong with me, I'm pretty sure I could qualify to be on Mystery Diagnosis if a doctor ever does figure out why my stomach hates me so much.<br /> <br /> Anyway, blah blah blah on to nail polish. A couple weeks ago I was browsing Rite Aid and saw a new display from LA Girl of a new collection called 3D Effects and they are scattered holographic polishes, you can see a photo of the display over on <a href="http://thekarend.blogspot.com/2013/04/mid-april-displays.html" target="_blank">Frazzle and Aniploish here</a> (I freaking LOVE her display posts, btw!) I ended up buying 2 of them, the rest all looked like things I already own so they stayed at the store. &nbsp;Check out the swatches by clicking the read more button under the photo!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U15sA6EjgAM/UWjdhYwzfoI/AAAAAAAATFw/1X0jGpqNAyU/s1600/LA+Girl+3D+Holographic+Nail+Polish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U15sA6EjgAM/UWjdhYwzfoI/AAAAAAAATFw/1X0jGpqNAyU/s640/LA+Girl+3D+Holographic+Nail+Polish.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /><br /> Brilliant Blue is a dark blue with a subtle scattered holographic effect. This reminds me a bit of <a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2012/12/picture-polish-cosmos.html" target="_blank">piCture pOlish Cosmos</a>, it's definitely not a dupe but it could be a good alternative if you don't want to spend the bucks for Cosmos. The formula was good, a little on the thick side but application was good. This was almost jelly like but it was nice and opaque. I used 2 coats for the photos below. This was more holographic looking in real life.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d7NCiy9-nyM/UWjdqrJyK4I/AAAAAAAATF4/YzckdK7vywA/s1600/LA+Girl+Brilliant+Blue+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d7NCiy9-nyM/UWjdqrJyK4I/AAAAAAAATF4/YzckdK7vywA/s640/LA+Girl+Brilliant+Blue+2.jpg" width="490" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-47EtxItuqjQ/UWjdre528aI/AAAAAAAATGA/b6YznZc3sVs/s1600/LA+Girl+Brilliant+Blue+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-47EtxItuqjQ/UWjdre528aI/AAAAAAAATGA/b6YznZc3sVs/s640/LA+Girl+Brilliant+Blue+1.jpg" width="408" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HOSDF-I1H3Q/UWjdsD6BCyI/AAAAAAAATGI/x2Wmw9JDLLQ/s1600/LA+Girl+Brilliant+Blue+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HOSDF-I1H3Q/UWjdsD6BCyI/AAAAAAAATGI/x2Wmw9JDLLQ/s640/LA+Girl+Brilliant+Blue+3.jpg" width="500" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NRvW9nImm98/UWjduWlianI/AAAAAAAATGQ/LKZBE1RZFPw/s1600/LA+Girl+Brilliant+Blue+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="526" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NRvW9nImm98/UWjduWlianI/AAAAAAAATGQ/LKZBE1RZFPw/s640/LA+Girl+Brilliant+Blue+4.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> Teal Dimension is a teal blue with a subtle scattered holographic effect.

Today I have another one of the Nails Inc Leather Effect polishes to share with you. I picked this up a while back when I stopped by a Sephora inside JC Penney. If you're in the US and have been waiting for these to get to Sephora I'd check there, it's still not on the Sephora website as far as I can tell.<br /> <br /> Shoreditch Lane is the red Leather Effect polish. I was expecting this to be more red on the nail but it dried darker and more maroon than it looked in the bottle. I really like the texture on this polish, it's much more toned down than a lot of the other textured polishes on the market and it doesn't dry down completely matte, there is a little bit of a shine to it which is nice. The formula was really great, nice and creamy...almost opaque in 1 coat! I used 2 coats for the photos but the 2nd coat was hardly needed!<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LRsIebJ03nM/UWODP50gQ-I/AAAAAAAATFY/PLaXqgdXX7Y/s1600/Nails+Inc+Shoreditch+Lane+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="514" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LRsIebJ03nM/UWODP50gQ-I/AAAAAAAATFY/PLaXqgdXX7Y/s640/Nails+Inc+Shoreditch+Lane+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Sunlight</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FqvxuRvKG8A/UWODRWiO1KI/AAAAAAAATFg/5hSBr8hi2x4/s1600/Nails+Inc+Shoreditch+Lane+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="488" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FqvxuRvKG8A/UWODRWiO1KI/AAAAAAAATFg/5hSBr8hi2x4/s640/Nails+Inc+Shoreditch+Lane+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> Nails Inc is available in the US and Canada at Sephora, the Leather Effect polishes retail for $9.50!</div> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=vFLhnoTxOWw:m-agono_hmQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=vFLhnoTxOWw:m-agono_hmQ:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=vFLhnoTxOWw:m-agono_hmQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=vFLhnoTxOWw:m-agono_hmQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?i=vFLhnoTxOWw:m-agono_hmQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThePolishAholic/~4/vFLhnoTxOWw" height="1" width="1"/>Jen PolishAholichttps://plus.google.com/106058711448233719410noreply@blogger.com13http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/04/nails-inc-shoreditch-lane.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165136482457261879.post-24969108109372486262013-04-08T04:20:00.000-07:002013-04-08T04:20:00.415-07:002013-04-08T04:20:00.415-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div align="right"> <a class="button white" href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/p/disclosure.html">press sample</a></div> <br /> Hi guys, hope you all had a good weekend! Mine was alright, not long enough as usual. I'd like to know who decided that we should work 5 days a week and then only get 2 off... I feel like we should work 4 and get 3 off instead!<br /> <br /> Today I have another piCture pOlish shade to share with you, this one is called Denim. Denim is a dusty blue with a silvery blur shimmer and white flakes. It's the blue version of one of the Collaboration shades piCture pOlish did called Amethyst, which you can see <a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2012/12/picture-polish-amethyst.html" target="_blank">here</a>! The formula was good, it was a little thick but creamy and easy to apply!

Today I have a little review for you for a product from Nail Pattern Boldness called Glitter Food. Glitter Food has a couple of uses, both as a top coat and a way to fix sinky glitters! A couple of months ago Allison from Nail Pattern Boldness sent me over a bottle of Glitter Food to try out and I've been testing it out a bunch to the point of needing to buy another bottle soon! For all my thoughts and a few photos of how it can fix a polish with sinking glitter click the read more button under the photo!<br /> <div> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m9CeU9toffw/UV5JcuoEiDI/AAAAAAAATEI/08akZNHRhAg/s1600/Nail+Pattern+Boldness+Glitter+Food+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m9CeU9toffw/UV5JcuoEiDI/AAAAAAAATEI/08akZNHRhAg/s640/Nail+Pattern+Boldness+Glitter+Food+1.jpg" width="372" /></a></div> <br /> <a name='more'></a><br /> <br /> What I've been using Glitter Food for the most is as a top coat over top coat hungry glitters, you might have seen me mentioning it lately when I've posted swatches of the textured polishes we've been seeing lately. Glitter Food is what I've been loving to put on before I put on my regular top coat, it acts as a good buffer between the glitter and my other top coat so I don't need as many coat of top coat. I have really been loving this lately, I've been putting it over every glitter I've worn, wear time has been great every time I've worn this as a top coat.<br /> <br /> Glitter Food does dry to a bit of a satin finish and can look a little cloudy on it's own so you do need to layer another top coat over it...that completely gets rid of the cloudiness and the semi matte finish. I've also found that Glitter Food gets a little thick over time and if you don't thin it when it starts getting that way it will shrink the polish you put it over. That's a pretty minor downside since it's such an easy thing to fix!<br /> <br /> Other than being a really awesome top coat Glitter Food can be used as a way to fix glitters with sinking problems. I'm sure we all have problems with glitters like that, I've collected quite a few indies over the last year or so where all the glitter sinks straight to the bottom of the polish. I was just putting them in my helmer and forgetting about them because I'm too lazy to shake a polish for 10 minutes before I want to wear it. I pulled out one of my worst offenders to show you guys how Glitter Food can fix it. Below is Nerd Lacquer Holy Grail, I love this polish but it was the worst sinking polish I had in my stash. Pretty much everything in this polish sank...glitter, pigment, holographic pigment etc...<br /> <br /> Below is Holy Grail pre Glitter Food!<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VZXGRT4c5sQ/UV5JgyO59hI/AAAAAAAATEQ/MKjfjBGhdRY/s1600/Nail+Pattern+Boldness+Glitter+Food+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VZXGRT4c5sQ/UV5JgyO59hI/AAAAAAAATEQ/MKjfjBGhdRY/s640/Nail+Pattern+Boldness+Glitter+Food+2.jpg" width="542" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_e-YEONZGYI/UV5Jg-OA31I/AAAAAAAATEU/44VLV3rXwPk/s1600/Nail+Pattern+Boldness+Glitter+Food+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_e-YEONZGYI/UV5Jg-OA31I/AAAAAAAATEU/44VLV3rXwPk/s640/Nail+Pattern+Boldness+Glitter+Food+3.jpg" width="590" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> I took a little eye dropper and sucked out all the base liquid that was separated and sitting at the top of the bottle. Once all that liquid was out I replaced it with Glitter Food. I shook and shook, even stuck an orange stick inside the bottle &nbsp;to get the glitter off the bottom. After about 15 minutes everything was back to being how it looked when Holy Grail first came into my life ages ago.<br /> <br /> The photo below is right after my shake fest with Holy Grail. I had forgotten how pretty this was!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bAos1ITcDhA/UV5Jk1C29PI/AAAAAAAATEg/rAAtYjjgE2g/s1600/Nail+Pattern+Boldness+Glitter+Food+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bAos1ITcDhA/UV5Jk1C29PI/AAAAAAAATEg/rAAtYjjgE2g/s640/Nail+Pattern+Boldness+Glitter+Food+4.jpg" width="540" /></a></div> <br /> After I took the photo above I put Holy Grail on my desk and let it sit to see what would happen. A week later I took the photo below, as you can see everything is still suspended. Pre-Glitter Food it would have all sunk back down within a day or so. It's been almost another full week since I took the photo below and everything is still suspended and perfect!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KyQmK3r0ReE/UV5JoeQ4-uI/AAAAAAAATEo/LSNsGzb8cUA/s1600/Nail+Pattern+Boldness+Glitter+Food+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KyQmK3r0ReE/UV5JoeQ4-uI/AAAAAAAATEo/LSNsGzb8cUA/s640/Nail+Pattern+Boldness+Glitter+Food+5.jpg" width="392" /></a></div> <div> <br /></div> </div> Overall I really like Glitter Food, my bottle is almost gone since I fixed a bunch of sinking glitters, I will definitely be purchasing another bottle! I really enjoy using this as a top coat as well, with as many hungry glitters as I own and wear I get a lot of use out of a top coat that kills the thirst for a bajillion coats of top coat. I've heard that this is also a good base coat for holos but I haven't tried that yet...it's on my list to do though!<br /> <br /> Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food is available at the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/NailPatternBoldness" target="_blank">Nail Pattern Boldness Etsy shop</a>&nbsp;. You can also find it at <a href="http://shop.llarowe.com/" target="_blank">shop.llarowe.com</a>&nbsp;for $8! I believe it's sold out at both shops right now but Nail Pattern Boldness is restocking today so you might be able to get your paws on a bottle!<br /> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div align="right"> <a class="button white" href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/p/disclosure.html">press sample</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=TesGYKET-Tg:7Wtsc79ztVY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=TesGYKET-Tg:7Wtsc79ztVY:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=TesGYKET-Tg:7Wtsc79ztVY:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?a=TesGYKET-Tg:7Wtsc79ztVY:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ThePolishAholic?i=TesGYKET-Tg:7Wtsc79ztVY:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThePolishAholic/~4/TesGYKET-Tg" height="1" width="1"/>Jen PolishAholichttps://plus.google.com/106058711448233719410noreply@blogger.com22http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/04/nail-pattern-boldness-glitter-food.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165136482457261879.post-13213768300931224552013-04-04T04:20:00.000-07:002013-04-04T04:20:00.038-07:002013-04-04T04:20:00.038-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div align="right"> <a class="button white" href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/p/disclosure.html">press sample</a></div> <br /> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Hi guys! Today I have a few polishes from a new to me brand called wHet to share with you. This brand is cruelty free, 3 free and vegan...gotta love that! For me wHet is also a local brand since they are based out of Los Angeles. I hadn't heard of this brand before so I was pretty excited to give them a try! Check out all the swatches after the jump!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tzswN58W6UY/UVzpKC1nIMI/AAAAAAAATD4/d2zkt6mknUU/s1600/wHet+Nail+Lacquer+Swatches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tzswN58W6UY/UVzpKC1nIMI/AAAAAAAATD4/d2zkt6mknUU/s640/wHet+Nail+Lacquer+Swatches.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <a name='more'></a>All photos in this post are in natural sunlight which the exception of one which is in the shade and will be labelled as such!<br /> <br /> Facetious is bright cobalt blue. This is my favorite of the bunch, I'm sure that surprises no one. I cannot get enough of these types of blues! This is very similar to my favorite, Nails Inc Baker Street, it's not an exact dupe since it's a touch darker but it's very close! The formula was good, it went on really nicely and the consistency was great. I used 2 coats for the photos below.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Tmx8VezUu2A/UVy5jRH93BI/AAAAAAAATB4/moYdkGTAywk/s1600/wHet+Facetious+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Tmx8VezUu2A/UVy5jRH93BI/AAAAAAAATB4/moYdkGTAywk/s640/wHet+Facetious+2.JPG" width="550" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cSbWamRhwgg/UVy5jVqJOhI/AAAAAAAATB8/GnWwLJs3pb0/s1600/wHet+Facetious+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cSbWamRhwgg/UVy5jVqJOhI/AAAAAAAATB8/GnWwLJs3pb0/s640/wHet+Facetious+1.JPG" width="446" /></a></div> <br /> Hubris is a pink toned pink creme. This is actually a pretty good dupe of the <a href="http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/04/alessandro-peachy-cinderella.html" target="_blank">Alessandro polish</a> I posted yesterday! The formula was good, it was a little bit on the thick side...but the creamy kind of thick that I like with creme polishes! I used 2 coats for the photos below. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SIKfxt6Uq6g/UVy5ujrAVRI/AAAAAAAATCI/190hH7dVrqs/s1600/wHet+Hubris+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SIKfxt6Uq6g/UVy5ujrAVRI/AAAAAAAATCI/190hH7dVrqs/s640/wHet+Hubris+2.JPG" width="628" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HEm3nm_XeYQ/UVy5vobUPII/AAAAAAAATCQ/OH4GJnTj950/s1600/wHet+Hubris+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HEm3nm_XeYQ/UVy5vobUPII/AAAAAAAATCQ/OH4GJnTj950/s640/wHet+Hubris+1.JPG" width="458" /></a></div> <br /> Machiavellian is a bronzy brown shimmer. I'm a bit on the fence with this, it's a bit too frosty for me to love but the shimmer out in the sun has a bit of a holographic look to it which I really like. This was better in person than it is in photos, it's looking more frosty than it was in real life. The formula wasn't my favorite, I found it to be a bit thick...I had to thin it in order to do a second coat of polish. After thinning it was great though! I used 2 coats for the photos below.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Jh-LC8mHmWA/UVy5_0ANUbI/AAAAAAAATCY/umDvbGw4vSI/s1600/wHet+Machiavellian+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="388" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Jh-LC8mHmWA/UVy5_0ANUbI/AAAAAAAATCY/umDvbGw4vSI/s640/wHet+Machiavellian+2.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lighting: Shade</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hn66VGBnKU4/UVy6BmXkXZI/AAAAAAAATCg/4iQVMbeDj_w/s1600/wHet+Machiavellian+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hn66VGBnKU4/UVy6BmXkXZI/AAAAAAAATCg/4iQVMbeDj_w/s640/wHet+Machiavellian+1.JPG" width="544" /></a></div> <br /> Nefarious is a dark dusty blue. This is a bit of a crelly! It went on nice and opaque like a creme but it has a bit of a squish to it like a jelly. I really love polishes like this and the color is gorgeous! The formula was great, really nice consistency and easy to apply1 I used 2 coats for the photos below.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FeI5jljY4Uw/UVy6NEJl8NI/AAAAAAAATCo/O1UFV3Ud1So/s1600/wHet+Nefarious+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FeI5jljY4Uw/UVy6NEJl8NI/AAAAAAAATCo/O1UFV3Ud1So/s640/wHet+Nefarious+2.JPG" width="528" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5LKSdSqqoP0/UVy6Ne8kcUI/AAAAAAAATCs/jpj5CVHkIfc/s1600/wHet+Nefarious+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5LKSdSqqoP0/UVy6Ne8kcUI/AAAAAAAATCs/jpj5CVHkIfc/s640/wHet+Nefarious+1.JPG" width="434" /></a></div> <br /> Voluptuous is a dark pink with a fuchsia shimmer!
