Bedtime!</b> is a glitter bomb with a slightly pink tinted base filled with pink holographic glitter. Most people will probably layer this but I had to try to build it up to see if I could wear it on its own. Kinda thick and there may be some texture pieces in here, because it eats top coat like crazy.

I am in love with this, it's classy but still flashy! Makes me think of New Year's. The formula is on the thinner side and I needed three coats here.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGHTee2mYvShWuiXzUORfKs1ntbbWYW1VcNWta1Nb-oudRBnLVEx-7FnyNjHQ81B8p5kaYKaffZIQXFM2X_u1BW3Ig6StNjbYFkqYfn9_mj4AdfK88QhkkG1CxQV0jylLVLWAgvbmPNZ6X/s1600/opi-five-and-ten.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="OPI Five-and-Ten" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGHTee2mYvShWuiXzUORfKs1ntbbWYW1VcNWta1Nb-oudRBnLVEx-7FnyNjHQ81B8p5kaYKaffZIQXFM2X_u1BW3Ig6StNjbYFkqYfn9_mj4AdfK88QhkkG1CxQV0jylLVLWAgvbmPNZ6X/s1600/opi-five-and-ten.JPG" title="OPI Five-and-Ten @kelliegonzoblog" width="568" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Fire Escape Rendezvous</b> is described as a matte glittering ruby. Assorted sizes and shapes of shard glitter pieces punctuate the base and make a chunky problem child. *sigh* I really, really don't understand why they keep trying this "glitter in a metallic base" formula thing. I had to shake this up a lot before I put it on because all the glitter pieces sink to the bottom. Dries matte, but I put on a thick shiny top coat (Pretty Serious Cosmetics Plump Up the Volume for the win!).<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWe-TttuuxH1gHjcwUhTkBBJHJTUL0UcHdY8ko7NjRhq1npHZo0gmgQbyiiPmZpUbn3UDIdVsBuki__tMU_xWQLx4JS9dAAbDp8pxhwuACuLfmbYV1S8QglXGs-9JqokHSLppmp339T05t/s1600/opi-fire-escape-rendezvous.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="OPI Fire Escape Rendezvous" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWe-TttuuxH1gHjcwUhTkBBJHJTUL0UcHdY8ko7NjRhq1npHZo0gmgQbyiiPmZpUbn3UDIdVsBuki__tMU_xWQLx4JS9dAAbDp8pxhwuACuLfmbYV1S8QglXGs-9JqokHSLppmp339T05t/s1600/opi-fire-escape-rendezvous.JPG" title="OPI Fire Escape Rendezvous @kelliegonzoblog" width="560" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Champagne For Breakfast</b> has a clear base filled with silver holographic glitter and maybe some texture particles, but I can't be sure. I layered one coat over Rich &amp; Brazilian and I love it. I actually did try to get this opaque on its own, but after the fourth coat my nail bed was still peeking through pretty obviously. You could try the sponge method if you really want to wear it alone though.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRrIm-_7KzShd-RjfoAqrBQet45waD6l5OMrGEfXr-njR766FReMGNRIBa3vwDUHq5n7Tca8fEz1gRAbUzjZ8V2OXW_3eZgsOaXDqc8pZiLgTFLTZ9fHK3qjLFYZz_WI_0AnvjTjdwNQy_/s1600/opi-champagne-for-breakfast.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="OPI Champagne For Breakfast" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRrIm-_7KzShd-RjfoAqrBQet45waD6l5OMrGEfXr-njR766FReMGNRIBa3vwDUHq5n7Tca8fEz1gRAbUzjZ8V2OXW_3eZgsOaXDqc8pZiLgTFLTZ9fHK3qjLFYZz_WI_0AnvjTjdwNQy_/s1600/opi-champagne-for-breakfast.JPG" title="OPI Champagne For Breakfast @kelliegonzoblog" width="562" /></a></div> <br /> Now on to the <b>Infinite Shine</b> colors! These are the first ones I've tried from OPI so I can't speak to their wear time or the difference in formula. They are a bit more expensive though, and are designed to be used with the Infinite Shine prep and top coat.<br /> <br /> <b>Party At Holly's</b> is a vampy, deep oxblood jelly crème. Quite opaque, I found this to be lovely and plush, and very shiny. Two coats. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvM1wdHbxphK0yMVuF7gi-iyoT2-fS5kTRwGrTKAc8FvDVrjYQZT7a6s228hCuUqf8e5IYDYt_dh645xSsyXM56DBFEN9j-foa-3PpmpRTD6omRhnZ1zMjx_v-n-JOfIJo74kfwt7useqD/s1600/opi-infinite-shine-party-at-holly%2527s.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="OPI Infinite Shine Party At Holly's" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvM1wdHbxphK0yMVuF7gi-iyoT2-fS5kTRwGrTKAc8FvDVrjYQZT7a6s228hCuUqf8e5IYDYt_dh645xSsyXM56DBFEN9j-foa-3PpmpRTD6omRhnZ1zMjx_v-n-JOfIJo74kfwt7useqD/s1600/opi-infinite-shine-party-at-holly%2527s.JPG" title="OPI Infinite Shine Party At Holly's @kelliegonzoblog" width="572" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Girls Love Pearls</b> is a pearl white metallic. This is the shimmery, silk type of metallic, not a foil and not a frost. Very brushstroky, but surprisingly easy to apply. With two coats you can still kind of see my nail line but these type of colors look ok like that to me. I thought I was going to hate this, but I actually think it looks pretty good on me. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSuHBILOEN6flykNsWrm5Xytxm9YcUyppg7fi9Hyjh0fNShJGv-3JVsKEfazGnj4NGlyvAbd4mGtr-gTjGz7tA8urykwn_5F-Tao5ttxwtSBeLCEaA3ptkLONFjo1afxJyxw1Iq_EOMsj9/s1600/opi-infinite-shine-girls-love-pearls.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="OPI Infinite Shine Girls Love Pearls" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSuHBILOEN6flykNsWrm5Xytxm9YcUyppg7fi9Hyjh0fNShJGv-3JVsKEfazGnj4NGlyvAbd4mGtr-gTjGz7tA8urykwn_5F-Tao5ttxwtSBeLCEaA3ptkLONFjo1afxJyxw1Iq_EOMsj9/s1600/opi-infinite-shine-girls-love-pearls.JPG" title="OPI Infinite Shine Girls Love Pearls @kelliegonzoblog" width="546" /></a></div> <br /> <b>I Believe In Manicures</b> is the only color that overlaps both polish and Infinite Shine. Almost identical to the polish version, it's a light blue crème but this one was a touch lighter and shinier. Seemed less streaky too, but I still needed three coats.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHH4q-L0w8GmB0kOIcg_vZE5pvVZ9iZmBoIJPosvMoibEXHnZTkohC5NPjkTbPuQ5_fqJjJc9uvqq0tIdedZwlBruJJi-hx8yz-TZEXVqdPwxX0UnBHqfLdRrKdFaJdMqtNicj_ngF7civ/s1600/opi-infinite-shine-i-believe-in-manicures.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="OPI Infinite Shine I Believe In Manicures" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHH4q-L0w8GmB0kOIcg_vZE5pvVZ9iZmBoIJPosvMoibEXHnZTkohC5NPjkTbPuQ5_fqJjJc9uvqq0tIdedZwlBruJJi-hx8yz-TZEXVqdPwxX0UnBHqfLdRrKdFaJdMqtNicj_ngF7civ/s1600/opi-infinite-shine-i-believe-in-manicures.JPG" title="OPI Infinite Shine I Believe In Manicures @kelliegonzoblog" width="560" /></a></div> <b><br /></b> <b>Can't Tame a Wild Thing</b> is an orangey red jelly crème. Thin but easy to control, which I appreciate in a shade like this because no one wants to have to clean it out from under their cuticles, am I right? I used three coats for full opacity. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizVav5lO-e9I3FVaL6shDk3B30m-0LGVGv-GKQHdFpU5Q32qzVmb-f8kCOyaE2XvLE1VekANdnEQJ4QRf4tB7mCvElWUY0upGNxlOTKKPlK2hnXJqXSfVtqy3bfYd0j3kHaoO3xfT-AcHL/s1600/opi-infinite-shine-can%2527t-tame-a-wild-thing.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="OPI Infinite Shine Can't Tame a Wild Thing" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizVav5lO-e9I3FVaL6shDk3B30m-0LGVGv-GKQHdFpU5Q32qzVmb-f8kCOyaE2XvLE1VekANdnEQJ4QRf4tB7mCvElWUY0upGNxlOTKKPlK2hnXJqXSfVtqy3bfYd0j3kHaoO3xfT-AcHL/s1600/opi-infinite-shine-can%2527t-tame-a-wild-thing.JPG" title="OPI Infinite Shine Can't Tame a Wild Thing @kelliegonzoblog" width="564" /></a></div> <br /> <b>I'll Have a Manhattan</b> is a midnight purple jelly crème.

Let me know what you think of this collection! I get what OPI was going for, classic colors for a classic movie, but I still wish they would've thrown in a few adventurous shades. Do we really need soooo many such similar reds?? I think not. Anywhoooo, my favorites are Breakfast At Tiffany's, Black Dress Not Optional, Party At Holly's, and Five-and-Ten. Tell me yours!

The Office Space collection consists of eight naughty and neutral shade ideas for the office. These shades add a pop of color and sparkle to your nails, while still keeping the boss happy." My job doesn't discriminate against any nail polish colors, thank goodness, but if they did, these colors would be a revelation!<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a class="button gray" href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/p/disclosure-policy.html">Press Sample</a></span></div> <br /> <b>Take Back CTRL</b> is a dusty rose mauve crème.

A touch thick but not difficult to apply. This is two coats. Dries with a glitter texture so you'll want a thick layer of top coat or two for a smooth finish.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdc1N-Hwqk5fJiaUu44LXq7svrFSDT35v4JnPPrUPglsLsAyM1Y5AAUE7kKTxwn1AJ_0ZUgga-AsstiAFBlccfwT-zcj1BYEkkO_32HV4kpKTBtBcGZqsGkhU2e7BcsnHf36mtSd00V4DL/s1600/kbshimmer-a-hint-of-manila.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="KBShimmer A Hint Of Manila" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdc1N-Hwqk5fJiaUu44LXq7svrFSDT35v4JnPPrUPglsLsAyM1Y5AAUE7kKTxwn1AJ_0ZUgga-AsstiAFBlccfwT-zcj1BYEkkO_32HV4kpKTBtBcGZqsGkhU2e7BcsnHf36mtSd00V4DL/s1600/kbshimmer-a-hint-of-manila.JPG" title="KBShimmer A Hint Of Manila @kelliegonzoblog" width="544" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Staple Relationship</b> is a deepened gray with slight purple undertones full of metallic silver flakes and holographic sparkle. This is in the KBShimmer birthstone finish, a favorite of mine. Super opaque, a one coater!

How was/has been your holiday season this year so far? I literally cannot fathom how this is the last week of the year, it's so nutty to me. But out with the old, in with new I guess! Today I have some shimmers and glitters from indie brand <a href="http://www.takkolacquer.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Takko Lacquer</a>'s Fall 2016 collection to show you. I got these a bit late so pardon my tardiness, however there are a few restocks coming up if you're itching to get some. Let's take a look!<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a class="button gray" href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/p/disclosure-policy.html">Press Sample</a></span></div> <br /> <b>Winter Succulents</b> is a cool, dusty sage green crème&nbsp;filled with gold micro flecks and actual silver dust. This leaves me breathless, so gorgeous and dainty and perfect for any time of year. Great, easy to apply formula, very opaque. I used two coats here.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHY0WnifjfJmqxqo5bwai9SP3KhansiNVGlXDStNE_c-2sh5OYcSDS0J6F7FxQJbWp_JhX-Ty-UXrTsJ1S8xp3ICrDTVdxjrnjO6BQWiOOtqsGbTMr-zB2MDOrrp-GGT57ur_z_nR_Zc6C/s1600/takko-lacquer-winter-succulents.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Takko Lacquer Winter Succulents" border="0" height="604" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHY0WnifjfJmqxqo5bwai9SP3KhansiNVGlXDStNE_c-2sh5OYcSDS0J6F7FxQJbWp_JhX-Ty-UXrTsJ1S8xp3ICrDTVdxjrnjO6BQWiOOtqsGbTMr-zB2MDOrrp-GGT57ur_z_nR_Zc6C/s1600/takko-lacquer-winter-succulents.JPG" title="Takko Lacquer Winter Succulents @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <b><br /></b> <b>Boyfriend Jeans</b> is just like a deep dark pair of denim blue jeans, complimented with coppery red iridescent shimmer. Stunning and striking! This is two coats. Dries dull so you'll want a shiny top coat.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWpaWUDFcw_eOinpJYZmHJQb94m0DXPrEbM_jX2PIObsS4sPTWfi95umwZIKGU2kHZ7IG-R6Y-kRVY3txo7IN6lYy_6pJimXqxjzm43NH4TBZsAE4B-WIDHxP3qBteHebcd6JIVRVuM0eh/s1600/takko-lacquer-boyfriend-jeans.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Takko Lacquer Boyfriend Jeans" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWpaWUDFcw_eOinpJYZmHJQb94m0DXPrEbM_jX2PIObsS4sPTWfi95umwZIKGU2kHZ7IG-R6Y-kRVY3txo7IN6lYy_6pJimXqxjzm43NH4TBZsAE4B-WIDHxP3qBteHebcd6JIVRVuM0eh/s1600/takko-lacquer-boyfriend-jeans.JPG" title="Takko Lacquer Boyfriend Jeans @kelliegonzoblog" width="638" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Stoned </b>was created to look like crushed marble quartz, it has a very light beige-grey base filled with black and gold micro flakies and a ton of golden shimmer flecks. This is another excellent polish, goes on like a dream and I got full coverage in two coats. The finish is dull and just the teensiest bit gritty upon dry down, but a top coat gives it a jolt of shine and smoothness.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl8W-AbskNGYV4dNAXUtzyCJIbwYZ16gRj7tC6nXI-DCoRjtRaM3JYvA6wj-Bn3c3mjiA5fsR4k51SrVSvItPcmxO6bUJBn7S4thHAAhE3b4RoUSuS9lz1eLNIwPf6iyiMQSSN9tyGGTqx/s1600/takko-lacquer-stoned.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Takko Lacquer Stoned" border="0" height="624" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl8W-AbskNGYV4dNAXUtzyCJIbwYZ16gRj7tC6nXI-DCoRjtRaM3JYvA6wj-Bn3c3mjiA5fsR4k51SrVSvItPcmxO6bUJBn7S4thHAAhE3b4RoUSuS9lz1eLNIwPf6iyiMQSSN9tyGGTqx/s1600/takko-lacquer-stoned.JPG" title="Takko Lacquer Stoned @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Queen Of Hearts</b> is a cherry red jelly filled with a generous helping of different sizes of translucent gold flakies. Surprisingly not difficult, sometimes jellies like this filled with chunky accents can be, well...chunky, but this was just fine. A touch thick maybe, but very easy to handle. I used two coats. This looks darker indoors, but the sun kinda shines through the jelly to give it an inner glow.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiOcJKDWvQCj8vde0hRxt-7QK9czLkrsKJzBQHNl1ELQuwtbWF4SJIrk4z8P6PCOE9aIaGe6PI8w0VwlQpuOsCiOXke9FGheKFebDZfyL0Rs2FVox6cT9FMDWjowpPPxNnlBAKwoLfFyY1/s1600/takko-lacquer-queen-of-hearts.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Takko Lacquer Queen of Hearts" border="0" height="614" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiOcJKDWvQCj8vde0hRxt-7QK9czLkrsKJzBQHNl1ELQuwtbWF4SJIrk4z8P6PCOE9aIaGe6PI8w0VwlQpuOsCiOXke9FGheKFebDZfyL0Rs2FVox6cT9FMDWjowpPPxNnlBAKwoLfFyY1/s1600/takko-lacquer-queen-of-hearts.JPG" title="Takko Lacquer Queen of Hearts @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Starships </b>is a greyed silver duochrome polish that flips to bright green and then to warm brownish copper, filled with holographic flakes to give a galaxy-esque look. Another great formula, went on effortlessly and opaque in two coats.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVSWk0IPAXqbszBf17RP_EYUO2kI32i42WNJAdxJR7prE7x4W-fSQwuDt9_Qvm7MOtQhv7gC9Xx0uTAW0W2LT_qUzKq4zyCI3TRm1VWRkKcDgkt8TmMABNfmzPhsxwF0DhJNasmT3AoTvX/s1600/takko-lacquer-starships.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Takko Lacquer Starships" border="0" height="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVSWk0IPAXqbszBf17RP_EYUO2kI32i42WNJAdxJR7prE7x4W-fSQwuDt9_Qvm7MOtQhv7gC9Xx0uTAW0W2LT_qUzKq4zyCI3TRm1VWRkKcDgkt8TmMABNfmzPhsxwF0DhJNasmT3AoTvX/s1600/takko-lacquer-starships.JPG" title="Takko Lacquer Starships @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> I had to give you a shade photo too, to show the duochrome better. I really love this!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSbu2YmNu4xjX9Ky1AsDRc1coS6cK3sC37JhNMEHJ30s585K10Yn9yM83g6MdONI_4ZH6WRr1O_QWQt20Rj0EBAok9Ffv_UAzVvufBm8I-PUNqCB8dSv8njnzQ9ePifXbB3KceZFeyxfnH/s1600/takko-lacquer-starships-2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Takko Lacquer Starships" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSbu2YmNu4xjX9Ky1AsDRc1coS6cK3sC37JhNMEHJ30s585K10Yn9yM83g6MdONI_4ZH6WRr1O_QWQt20Rj0EBAok9Ffv_UAzVvufBm8I-PUNqCB8dSv8njnzQ9ePifXbB3KceZFeyxfnH/s1600/takko-lacquer-starships-2.JPG" title="Takko Lacquer Starships (shade) @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Mariposa</b> is a hearty pumpkin orange filled with golden shimmer and gold and pink glimmering flecks. This totally reminds me of <a href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/2013/06/rescue-beauty-lounge-bloggers.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rescue Beauty Lounge NailsandNoms</a>, only that one has blue shimmer and is a slightly more vibrant orange. Really nice formula, glides on the nail with ease. Very good coverage, you could almost get away with one coat, but I used two.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNDvXX3HKBDji8BLsq-Tkn3akXwSJZNXY7PaQ24DARFHtdrJqXb73J2aGS5YHJhzwjQFVHPeR42D7e-RErc4o9ssB7d4_g-mbo69lrmkDMICSQNP9jeiCiOfQcutIZ-s_lJ7sG8S0HGb4B/s1600/takko-lacquer-mariposa.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Takko Lacquer Mariposa" border="0" height="624" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNDvXX3HKBDji8BLsq-Tkn3akXwSJZNXY7PaQ24DARFHtdrJqXb73J2aGS5YHJhzwjQFVHPeR42D7e-RErc4o9ssB7d4_g-mbo69lrmkDMICSQNP9jeiCiOfQcutIZ-s_lJ7sG8S0HGb4B/s1600/takko-lacquer-mariposa.JPG" title="Takko Lacquer Mariposa @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Narwhals</b> is an icy periwinkle blue crème filled with tiny silver micro flakies. This was super buttery and crazy opaque! A one coater, but I did two like usual. The name of this makes me happy, so cute!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfTio3kBaidSAySvK4_X0__ZXRG7N2bdSxMoyvFUHVYPVwUmmeQ1zX3zinjWbBHbqxtSusLiNiYQ24R0jOcCJzd6sH8FcgA9ZR_j1-4ih3bPDO2WMmJBrbKyeUsPgkTa5C-rKtMl61qexa/s1600/takko-lacquer-narwhals.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Takko Lacquer Narwhals" border="0" height="616" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfTio3kBaidSAySvK4_X0__ZXRG7N2bdSxMoyvFUHVYPVwUmmeQ1zX3zinjWbBHbqxtSusLiNiYQ24R0jOcCJzd6sH8FcgA9ZR_j1-4ih3bPDO2WMmJBrbKyeUsPgkTa5C-rKtMl61qexa/s1600/takko-lacquer-narwhals.JPG" title="Takko Lacquer Narwhals @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Merbunny</b> is a sweet porcelain baby pink jelly filled with iridescent green and gold flakies. This can be built up on it's own or layered over darker colors for a different look. This one was on the thicker side but sheer. It was a touch streaky on two coats and my nail line was still visible, so I did three. I adore the look of the finished color, very princess-like.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4-6f-iL8vyP8dULMft9q2R9jgjHNFilIL90X_ShjaUb4KpnvpY8NFSktdBhv1zsrgCWV6xXIunG7M-Z5fSqB67x5vsFDNwJZIGCeqWhhgWQxNWR71IkjhSx-LxqoJeT0m8ravZCS6fjh5/s1600/takko-lacquer-merbunny.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Takko Lacquer Merbunny" border="0" height="624" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4-6f-iL8vyP8dULMft9q2R9jgjHNFilIL90X_ShjaUb4KpnvpY8NFSktdBhv1zsrgCWV6xXIunG7M-Z5fSqB67x5vsFDNwJZIGCeqWhhgWQxNWR71IkjhSx-LxqoJeT0m8ravZCS6fjh5/s1600/takko-lacquer-merbunny.JPG" title="Takko Lacquer Merbunny @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> You can purchase their products on the <a href="http://www.takkolacquer.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Takko Lacquer website</a>; these are sold out now but will be restocked sometime in January.

I wanted to thank everyone so much for the incredibly kind sentiments on <a href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/2016/12/the-time-has-come.html">my last blog post</a>. In case you missed it, it's kind of important and I'd love if everyone gave it a glance. Now on to more polish! Today I wanted to show you some fun shades from indie brand <a href="http://www.shleeepolish.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shleee Polish</a>!<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a class="button gray" href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/p/disclosure-policy.html">Press Sample</a></span></div> <br /> <b>Mean Girl</b> is a sweet baby pink polish loaded with blue/teal glass fleck shimmer. This formula was a touch thick, but that helps with it's opacity. I used three coats here. This reminds me of the movie Clueless, but I'm guessing the name is probably a reference to Mean Girls haha.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijRwzSV3DLsYdZqj7dU6ry7k2FKAL1q57J1glF9uMQPUhjWyxJ9ak65iBQzaElmrh9GhQIEkkRu_4YnInRY7LbWOR3J4ShNJrAlL5ZUtEfcKVkzTCTL7_90-pmGBj9cBD8u8rJT_-UqX6x/s1600/shleee-polish-mean-girl.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shleee Polish Mean Girl" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijRwzSV3DLsYdZqj7dU6ry7k2FKAL1q57J1glF9uMQPUhjWyxJ9ak65iBQzaElmrh9GhQIEkkRu_4YnInRY7LbWOR3J4ShNJrAlL5ZUtEfcKVkzTCTL7_90-pmGBj9cBD8u8rJT_-UqX6x/s640/shleee-polish-mean-girl.JPG" title="Shleee Polish Mean Girl @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Salazar Slytherin 3.0</b> is a deep green holographic polish accented with silver holographic micro glitters. This applied effortlessly and was opaque in two coats. Named after a character in the Harry Potter universe, the founder of the Slytherin house at Hogwarts. I am a Ravenclaw, but I'm pretty sure I have some Slytherin tendencies, so maybe you could call me a Slytherclaw ;)<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg147vfI1w1zGELJmPrbPpvlyFzgVJ86vtZPYQqVxvypBzSedLdayyc-e5SotQXDn0GosEMfcgj1ey0Gq8mjstQDoHDjmws4IUpQaQKUlQN9eIJ6Qu-Pq_qMwVDhEQzFfhLbF5InWM-X5Ff/s1600/shleee-polish-salazar-slytherin-3.0.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shleee Polish Salazar Slytherin 3.0" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg147vfI1w1zGELJmPrbPpvlyFzgVJ86vtZPYQqVxvypBzSedLdayyc-e5SotQXDn0GosEMfcgj1ey0Gq8mjstQDoHDjmws4IUpQaQKUlQN9eIJ6Qu-Pq_qMwVDhEQzFfhLbF5InWM-X5Ff/s640/shleee-polish-salazar-slytherin-3.0.JPG" title="Shleee Polish Salazar Slytherin 3.0 @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Mystic Jadeite</b> is a pale, faded mint shade with purple shimmer, holo flakes, and iridescent glitter pieces. This is kind of a shade shifter, it leans more blue on me but it looks kind of greenish in different lighting. It's a little sheer but not as much as I expected. Three coats.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhozKuwlRliAnF6QQApzNt8JP_WeS9Is5AyVyn1HXC-8rkOu77ZWlQb4ZwMC-Kg8N-tO_GlpI0JVIJoKArOrjizLWztoX0rV8JTqSsnmxZTfln_xpb8Hyz8Zin-QAsUCd-mQAy0UqhKZndS/s1600/shleee-polish-mystic-jadeite.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shleee Polish Mystic Jadeite" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhozKuwlRliAnF6QQApzNt8JP_WeS9Is5AyVyn1HXC-8rkOu77ZWlQb4ZwMC-Kg8N-tO_GlpI0JVIJoKArOrjizLWztoX0rV8JTqSsnmxZTfln_xpb8Hyz8Zin-QAsUCd-mQAy0UqhKZndS/s640/shleee-polish-mystic-jadeite.JPG" title="Shleee Polish Mystic Jadeite @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Jakku </b>is a blend of glitters and mica shimmer in a clear base that creates a gorgeous reflective copper/bronze shade. Nice and opaque in just two coats. A real stunner, I am in love with this! Named for a desert planet featured in Star Wars. This dries flat, the glitter pieces don't stick up which is nice.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi84024VMppvEnr9_8C5T4XW7ki07RquFvSE0TPTCbT0NEnU26zgNJScYtA_FKtCeE2nZCpl7w0oMD-wDl6uvmRqUXgQA5afMNQ7errkEobpJsQOTlbqAvi3ku0AT8EnUi57TZp5o2CB5up/s1600/shleee-polish-jakku.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shleee Polish Jakku" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi84024VMppvEnr9_8C5T4XW7ki07RquFvSE0TPTCbT0NEnU26zgNJScYtA_FKtCeE2nZCpl7w0oMD-wDl6uvmRqUXgQA5afMNQ7errkEobpJsQOTlbqAvi3ku0AT8EnUi57TZp5o2CB5up/s640/shleee-polish-jakku.JPG" title="Shleee Polish Jakku @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Sectumsempra</b> is a blackened polish with strong green shimmer and silver holographic microglitter and shimmer. This was very opaque and goes on like butter. I used two coats here. Another Harry Potter reference, this is the name of a dangerous spell, certainly not to be messed with!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwsc-t8193iHk8meU4vPWMJFiE_9b2Jpig9lPjMYudZTdH2IecoDtHIJjC60OzwsKM-_Gp1gObiEkwiKQ63lrLB0O3sWwUtLUMEr64e6YvZLUUtUn0K2q7Qeyw2fEJffjQZVfSTnCLCJXt/s1600/shleee-polish-sectumsepra.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shleee Polish Sectumsempra" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwsc-t8193iHk8meU4vPWMJFiE_9b2Jpig9lPjMYudZTdH2IecoDtHIJjC60OzwsKM-_Gp1gObiEkwiKQ63lrLB0O3sWwUtLUMEr64e6YvZLUUtUn0K2q7Qeyw2fEJffjQZVfSTnCLCJXt/s640/shleee-polish-sectumsepra.JPG" title="Shleee Polish Sectumsempra @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Moon Crystal Power</b> is a mix of ultra holographic flake glitter pieces in purple, blue, and pink in a clear base. I built this up in three coats, but it can also be used as a layering polish. I believe the name is referencing Sailor Moon, one of the maker Ashley's favorites. Dries gritty so you'll want a thick top coat.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU9H6e-x3QcpnRw8QwFRae8Nezyfdce5d53PixlkZ2W9AQL8sh0QW4hme5vO058xUtdguF_2nW8_KOjagyM1yckbwQmyvwHfFwJ0Gpb9CoQd8SSqhw77P84-DWJEjeguelWSLB6rPxX2Yo/s1600/shleee-polish-moon-crystal-power.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shleee Polish Moon Crystal Power" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU9H6e-x3QcpnRw8QwFRae8Nezyfdce5d53PixlkZ2W9AQL8sh0QW4hme5vO058xUtdguF_2nW8_KOjagyM1yckbwQmyvwHfFwJ0Gpb9CoQd8SSqhw77P84-DWJEjeguelWSLB6rPxX2Yo/s640/shleee-polish-moon-crystal-power.JPG" title="Shleee Polish Moon Crystal Power @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Emerald Candy</b> is a vivid emerald green jelly with silver holographic microglitter and flakes. This applies easily, nice and even. It is a jelly so it lends to being a bit transparent. Despite that I was able to get full coverage with just two coats!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieyqYt9FlV5tNQrVwgyxePr9vMc6w-4zNzhZD0vjmQEFSh1GOGJ99HTqW3vpniRB0D9V-DGUxxp1Bj1NpWg2TD8tm1mh6bdtlUJYL5dCt0Diwlq_pMhlYByE4GiOEFoCd5U4IwU3M2hLkC/s1600/shleee-polish-emerald-candy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shleee Polish Emerald Candy" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieyqYt9FlV5tNQrVwgyxePr9vMc6w-4zNzhZD0vjmQEFSh1GOGJ99HTqW3vpniRB0D9V-DGUxxp1Bj1NpWg2TD8tm1mh6bdtlUJYL5dCt0Diwlq_pMhlYByE4GiOEFoCd5U4IwU3M2hLkC/s640/shleee-polish-emerald-candy.JPG" title="Shleee Polish Emerald Candy @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Invocation </b>is a blend of purple and dark grey holographic microglitters in a clear base. This is another one that you can build up or layer; I put on three coats here. Dries gritty so I recommend a thick top coat for a smooth finish.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCxlRMi2Qzba6WmESR_xNomCtSDS7ObOlCV-CjXdrC9DE0DUx2FYsnVezetYLXiKqyPudaWxlCEQK9NZOva5JtzeAJNYsYWrh-mcpjOCX-iVRguC0Hp55U03BPYhJv2H2j8u7dFzJ26sJ1/s1600/shleee-polish-invocation.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shleee Polish Invocation" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCxlRMi2Qzba6WmESR_xNomCtSDS7ObOlCV-CjXdrC9DE0DUx2FYsnVezetYLXiKqyPudaWxlCEQK9NZOva5JtzeAJNYsYWrh-mcpjOCX-iVRguC0Hp55U03BPYhJv2H2j8u7dFzJ26sJ1/s640/shleee-polish-invocation.JPG" title="Shleee Polish Invocation @kelliegonzoblog" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> These shades and more can be purchased on the <a href="http://www.shleeepolish.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shleee Polish website</a>&nbsp;for $10-11 each.

I have been blogging for a long time, since 2009. It's seriously been seven and a half years. That sounds kinda insane haha. And I've loved it. I do love it. I wouldn't have done it so long if I didn't. However, the time has come to move on.<br /> <br /> I will be retiring, for lack of a better word, very soon. I plan to be finished by the end of this month. 2016 has been kind of a wonky year, but blog-wise I've enjoyed great success and I'm happy to be ending things on a high note. By success I mean having loyal readers and friends that regularly read my blog and look at my photos, and brands wanting to work with me and have me review their amazing products. It never ceases to amaze me that so many people care about what I think about a topic I love so much.<br /> <br /> I have several reasons to be bowing out at this time. I will list a few, because I believe I owe you that, but some of the reasons I need to keep to myself. My time is factor one, as I spend an absurd amount of hours on this "hobby" of mine. All my daytime hours on the weekends are spent swatching and photographing. Then I work on my blog seven nights a week, even though I don't publish every day. I've never been fast at it, it takes a lot of precise work, and therefore energy. So much of my free time is spent on my blog, and as I have a full time day job, a lot of other things get pushed to the side in favor of nail polish. I'm not complaining really, it's been my choices that have gotten me to this point. I just can't continue to do it.<br /> <br /> I wish I could just scale back, to limit my posts, to lighten the load. But another factor influencing my decision to stop completely is that I have carpal tunnel in both of my wrists. It's been a problem most of my adult life. I was a dental assistant for a while (before I ever even thought about blogging), on track to become a dental hygienist actually, and I ended up making the decision to switch career paths because my weak wrists couldn't handle the hours of intense, dexterous work. It hasn't been as bad in years past, but the past two it has become increasingly difficult to manage. The numbness and pain is not quite constant, but it starts within minutes after I start swatching and sticks around. The positions I have to hold my hands in to polish my nails and to take photos of them have become more and more taxing. I know there are surgical procedures for this malady, but at this time in my life that is not a feasible option for me.<br /> <br /> I have seen some of my good friends, some of my nail idols, some extremely talented individuals leave the blogging world. And I'm sure there will be others to come down the road. They survived and I will too. Though I can't express my sadness enough. Maybe that sounds a little extreme, but it's true. I LOVE nail polish. I LOVE blogging. And I will never stop loving it, but I simply can't sustain the work this takes any longer.<br /> <br /> Thank you, dear reader, for everything, your support and your kindness throughout the years! I've been so fortunate to meet so many amazing people, some of the best friends of my life, through blogging! To receive and review so many fabulous nail polishes has been a dream come true, so to all the brands I've been privileged to work with - I'm in awe of your incredible work!

I have three new polishes to show you today from Australian indie brand <a href="http://www.pretty-serious.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pretty Serious Cosmetics</a>. These shades are part of the Museum of Naileontology collection, shades from the past they have re-imagined and made their own! Let's take a look at what they cooked up from the wild depths of the nail polish archives!<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a class="button gray" href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/p/disclosure-policy.html">Press Sample</a></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf7JMp4s_nugtQwHBhnTrq754o6yjttTPBD7nCHVdRUOZFH9ZMKTt4R0ztMYdmJkAQL8aSfYCxx8us2XQmCGZG4NetF2Hl9C_Rk57TsUZtDDee0tH_RZmcQ3PQaEwVztcQcQafdd7Veh3f/s1600/ps-cosmetics-naileontology-vol-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf7JMp4s_nugtQwHBhnTrq754o6yjttTPBD7nCHVdRUOZFH9ZMKTt4R0ztMYdmJkAQL8aSfYCxx8us2XQmCGZG4NetF2Hl9C_Rk57TsUZtDDee0tH_RZmcQ3PQaEwVztcQcQafdd7Veh3f/s1600/ps-cosmetics-naileontology-vol-4.jpg" width="452" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Chariots Of The Red Sea</b> has a warm red jelly base filled with silver twinkly shimmer bits. This is actually kind of unique to my collection, which is a feat for a red! Great, easy to apply formula. This is two coats.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnBDmtSkRmmAQTAYdWgehD3K1OKANkZm1LxabJ2iBka6KnuyhbhJTzlD7F0jWrnu9c5ENoqZFyRPq4_I8sk-zhJMt32Iq8oJ4yzJFjQxToM7V1pjHnYBRKayASxyfanXuHPbaom5bQuyXk/s1600/pretty-serious-cosmetics-chariots-of-the-red-sea.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pretty Serious Cosmetics Chariots Of the Red Sea" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnBDmtSkRmmAQTAYdWgehD3K1OKANkZm1LxabJ2iBka6KnuyhbhJTzlD7F0jWrnu9c5ENoqZFyRPq4_I8sk-zhJMt32Iq8oJ4yzJFjQxToM7V1pjHnYBRKayASxyfanXuHPbaom5bQuyXk/s1600/pretty-serious-cosmetics-chariots-of-the-red-sea.JPG" title="Pretty Serious Cosmetics Chariots Of the Red Sea @kelliegonzoblog" width="494" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Disc Of The Heavens</b> is a jade green with a angelic glaze of green and gold microshimmer. A stunning shade, one that captivated the nail polish world a few years ago and this is sure to satiate a few lemmings, one of mine in particular! Thin but manageable formula, I used two coats here for an opaque finish.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQ_deJm5cUwW5L1kwVPcOqDvDgpLbytx_w0Iy7XVQx-yiLALcXAom2Tv5EwfnopmGpGXlEsDn9JLgHr6WA9SN2F7Mnqk4TnrhDQgB-roLc4TM6G_jJe5-TtMM1X8X-HIxgTPF4tkqknU9/s1600/pretty-serous-cosmetics-disc-of-the-heavens.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pretty Serious Cosmetics Disc Of the Heavens" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQ_deJm5cUwW5L1kwVPcOqDvDgpLbytx_w0Iy7XVQx-yiLALcXAom2Tv5EwfnopmGpGXlEsDn9JLgHr6WA9SN2F7Mnqk4TnrhDQgB-roLc4TM6G_jJe5-TtMM1X8X-HIxgTPF4tkqknU9/s1600/pretty-serous-cosmetics-disc-of-the-heavens.JPG" title="Pretty Serious Cosmetics Disc Of the Heavens @kelliegonzoblog" width="500" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Mad Skull Of Cloverton</b> is a pale lilac purple that leans iridescent with a strong green shimmer. This rides the edge of being a frost, but wasn't quite there, which is good in my opinion. A touch sheer and slightly brushstrokey, but not terribly so. This is three coats.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiA7sDt5UM8-B4Yp6rdiNgQutX_k9kC1k_uPjLGI2Ipf35K4-qF3wwsPv2DArxY3jJGtSDGIlzxibwYKKA5E4kA8aXr5YGaDcjSqRfHpF7jpVFdJ4l0QKcgdscrZY9IXQkQYHipsCcDSVI/s1600/pretty-serious-cosmetics-mad-skull-of-cloverton.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pretty Serious Cosmetics Mad Skull of Cloverton" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiA7sDt5UM8-B4Yp6rdiNgQutX_k9kC1k_uPjLGI2Ipf35K4-qF3wwsPv2DArxY3jJGtSDGIlzxibwYKKA5E4kA8aXr5YGaDcjSqRfHpF7jpVFdJ4l0QKcgdscrZY9IXQkQYHipsCcDSVI/s1600/pretty-serious-cosmetics-mad-skull-of-cloverton.JPG" title="Pretty Serious Cosmetics Mad Skull of Cloverton @kelliegonzoblog" width="502" /></a></div> <br /> These shades are all available right now on the <a href="http://www.pretty-serious.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pretty Serious website</a>.

In case you don't know, this brand was created a little over a year ago by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/jessFACE90" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jessface90</a>, a long time YouTuber. She makes videos about, you guessed it, nail polish! I love that her brand is so creative and has excellent formulas, because this gal really knows her stuff when it comes to the polish game. Let's take a look at what she has cooked up for the 2016 holiday season!<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a class="button gray" href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/p/disclosure-policy.html">Press Sample</a></span></div> <br /> <b>Sugar Cookie</b> is a white crelly with red and green metallic shredded glitter and gold holographic glitter. This is super densely packed with those glitter pieces, but that doesn't make it difficult to apply which is nice. I got great coverage in just two coats. Some of the flakie bits can stick up a bit so you'll want a thick top coat.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG8-VXLAQDcN16fZLgdfNyAyXDwPq7EBdL5huEbn2FJjvTIEW04sFu3Lio0GnKv5tucf3HuLHa_-L-wvog-TIpKVU0d1qy_X20CkfLJxAmQNR-qlgnRUTbRHSwBEWpm3MTTG7ptBwgk6_p/s1600/nine-zero-lacquer-sugar-cookie.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nine Zero Lacquer Sugar Cookie" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG8-VXLAQDcN16fZLgdfNyAyXDwPq7EBdL5huEbn2FJjvTIEW04sFu3Lio0GnKv5tucf3HuLHa_-L-wvog-TIpKVU0d1qy_X20CkfLJxAmQNR-qlgnRUTbRHSwBEWpm3MTTG7ptBwgk6_p/s1600/nine-zero-lacquer-sugar-cookie.JPG" title="Nine Zero Lacquer Sugar Cookie @kelliegonzoblog" width="528" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Pink Christmas</b> is a full coverage pink microflake polish with a gold flash and added holographic effect. I didn't realize this was made up of the microflakes at first, I thought it might just be a metallic shimmery holo, but they're there all right! Excellent formula, opaque in two coats.

This is a gold version of <a href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/2015/11/nine-zero-lacquer-holiday-collection.html">Twinkle Lights</a> from their 2015 holiday collection. (Which is also still available on their website, fyi!) I used three coats here.

Lovely shade, and we all know I am head over heels with holo flakes these days! Great formula, a tad sheer but builds up in three coats.

Not part of the Holiday collection, but I had to show it off. It has an off white crelly base filled with gold holographic microglitter, and red, orange, garnet, copper, and brown glitters. Packed with glitter and a touch thick, but pretty easy to apply. Two coats here. I recommend a thick top coat for this one because it dries a little textured from the glitter.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZuIQlCbJPGSAxMslH0SVVaipzZEb-skTzVCkUzPsSjic3dXSPnGg7N5LIeXTZftMhtDl8_iZ3xgAcOmkqD3JgqzjCg79LU1w3Hm78EFIW63gUedUdBgE0R56IoGYEMpTYMqorqyoB378L/s1600/nine-zero-lacquer-stuffed-crelly.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nine Zero Lacquer Stuffed (crelly)" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZuIQlCbJPGSAxMslH0SVVaipzZEb-skTzVCkUzPsSjic3dXSPnGg7N5LIeXTZftMhtDl8_iZ3xgAcOmkqD3JgqzjCg79LU1w3Hm78EFIW63gUedUdBgE0R56IoGYEMpTYMqorqyoB378L/s1600/nine-zero-lacquer-stuffed-crelly.JPG" title="Nine Zero Lacquer Stuffed (crelly) @kelliegonzoblog" width="522" /></a></div> <br /> This collection along with Stuffed is available now on the <a href="http://www.ninezerolacquer.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nine Zero Lacquer website</a>.

One of my picks for sure, this is a great soft, cozy scent.<br /> <br /> Sunny's Lip Saver is in the scent <b>Sugar Plum</b>, which smells just like sweet plums lightly covered in sugar. Yummy and plummy!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFLM4HPqEqqaDDIF9OtcQ2-cqmwSHetiq5bbZm_6mcyDyyhytS8zaLpTdMRbTyyMyukm5-sd5G-DTkTCP7a4kdq4t_7wfMVU8rObyovTfIbxBsu7cX7_JP6KcH884ujSuLKpW9_04MPtl7/s1600/sunnys-body-products-winter-2016-2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFLM4HPqEqqaDDIF9OtcQ2-cqmwSHetiq5bbZm_6mcyDyyhytS8zaLpTdMRbTyyMyukm5-sd5G-DTkTCP7a4kdq4t_7wfMVU8rObyovTfIbxBsu7cX7_JP6KcH884ujSuLKpW9_04MPtl7/s1600/sunnys-body-products-winter-2016-2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Sunny's Triple Thick Body Cream in the pump dispenser comes in the scent <b>Homespun Treasure</b>, a blend of red currant, sheer musk, pomegranate, pomme fruits, white grapefruit, holiday quince, sweet wild berries, marshmallow and swirls of vanilla. Bright and tart, a great holiday scent!<br /> <br /> Sunny's Jelly Soap is in the scent <b>Snowkissed Sugar</b>. This has many notes, including juicy clementine infused with effervescent notes of bergamot and frosted ivy, enhanced with a jumble of wild berries, alluring winter roses and a sticky sweet pop of spun sugar, with creamy vanilla musk, oak moss, and wood accord finish off this distinctive fragrance. This is the only scent in the box that doesn't work for me, but I can see it doing well for others. Scents are subjective after all!<br /> <br /> Sunny's Intensive Cuticle Therapy, in the glass bottle with a dropper, is in the scent&nbsp;<b>Celebrate Christmas</b>. It has subtle top notes of fruit are followed by a spicy heart of cinnamon, clove, ginger, and nutmeg and a base of luscious caramelized sugar and white musk. I love this, it's like a sophisticated holiday party!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVDnRl3n5PQ-IndFUn8w9sfNaEMMTpjsiofC5FdU_k4C1nD4PHzphLVEBx-tuH7voqZhK-GJ2vZti7r4uQ4PlunGhIqCk6ssTtXcZ_UONhNTD2OJEjDuMHfa9FzvI2f3iQBRYn9avY3n-8/s1600/sunnys-body-products-winter-2016-3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVDnRl3n5PQ-IndFUn8w9sfNaEMMTpjsiofC5FdU_k4C1nD4PHzphLVEBx-tuH7voqZhK-GJ2vZti7r4uQ4PlunGhIqCk6ssTtXcZ_UONhNTD2OJEjDuMHfa9FzvI2f3iQBRYn9avY3n-8/s1600/sunnys-body-products-winter-2016-3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Sunny's Cuticle Oil with the rollerball applicator is in the scent&nbsp;<b>Cashmere Woods</b>, sweet vanilla orchid and citron peel are followed by seductive white patchouli flowers, oudh accord, and heliotrope, finished with a dry down of sun-warmed tonka beans, cashmere woods, and crystal amber. More complex than I expected, very pretty warm scent.<br /> <br /> Sunny's Sugar Hand Scrub is in the scent <b>Silver Birch</b>, which is the mix of silver birch leaves, clementine peel and crisp ozonic notes followed by pine cone accords and white geraniums with a dry down of vetiver, sandalwood, and sequoia woods. This is my favorite in the box, I'm a sucker for fresh wood-y scents.<br /> <br /> Sunny's Dry Spot Healer is in the scent <b>Black Tie</b>, a sexy blend of Italian bergamot, damask plum, tobacco flower, asiatic lily, warm oakmoss, star jasmine, cashmere woods, patchouli, and vanilla.

This delicately feminine scent flirts with an open of perfumed jasmine air, white poppy, and sheer yuzu zest and then dances with sheer abandon among white poinsettias and snowdrop flowers, resting on the powdery finish of frosted, silver, and white velvet musks. This is very classic and clean, but still sexy and girly!<br /> <br /> This is a limited edition box that is available now for $30 on the <a href="http://www.365daysofcolorpolishes.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sunny's Body Products website</a>.

Today I have a new bunch of shades to share with you from Australian indie brand <a href="http://www.glampolish.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glam Polish</a>, the Every Witch Way collection! This is a six piece collection of wintery pale shades that invoke feelings of mystical sorceresses instead of the cackling green witches we think of around Halloween. I've got five of the colors to show you, so let's take a look!<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a class="button gray" href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/p/disclosure-policy.html">Press Sample</a></span></div> <br /> <b>Resting Witch Face</b> is a pale greyed out blue holographic crelly with blue and purple glass fleck shimmer. This applied easily, it was nice and creamy for such a bangin holo! Two coats. Confession? I'm pretty sure I have been accused of having a "resting witch face." ;)<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq81C_oVXnULbU1Vac1hKfqLxIbz_5xNhgJxfz7yq8OwWsAZ1T8XQM0PVM-AmD89xH_iHg75H1J7whsf4iw62o183Dv804lbWoIGydNBhbhugeEPuzqzOIbt8OBr46hDsgW9nUGqkFBkvG/s1600/glam-polish-resting-witch-face.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Glam Polish Resting Witch Face" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq81C_oVXnULbU1Vac1hKfqLxIbz_5xNhgJxfz7yq8OwWsAZ1T8XQM0PVM-AmD89xH_iHg75H1J7whsf4iw62o183Dv804lbWoIGydNBhbhugeEPuzqzOIbt8OBr46hDsgW9nUGqkFBkvG/s1600/glam-polish-resting-witch-face.JPG" title="Glam Polish Resting Witch Face @kelliegonzoblog" width="494" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Every Witch Way</b> has multiple sizes of pink, blue, white and silver holographic glitter along with color shifting iridescent glitter in a clear base. I layered one coat over Resting Witch Face. This is so gorgeous! The glitter will dry bumpy so you'll want a thick layer of top coat. This would also look really great over darker colors!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLA43v388B2xfNer-KBkMFn2LDx6bYLw76SptxARr1RGADWO4ZlJfpPZJJysenFM6LGuqLUsQgg9zEHAFdMmDeiZi-2jI5mhudD4UdzDsoj2TyahtKEtNo4yxeo3hIH0oSAn_VPlyhQ8L-/s1600/glam-polish-every-witch-way.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Glam Polish Every Witch Way" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLA43v388B2xfNer-KBkMFn2LDx6bYLw76SptxARr1RGADWO4ZlJfpPZJJysenFM6LGuqLUsQgg9zEHAFdMmDeiZi-2jI5mhudD4UdzDsoj2TyahtKEtNo4yxeo3hIH0oSAn_VPlyhQ8L-/s1600/glam-polish-every-witch-way.JPG" title="Glam Polish Every Witch Way @kelliegonzoblog" width="494" /></a></div> <br /> I had to show a photo of this in the shade. The shifty glitters give the polish such a different look in low light!

This was just as great as the other crelly holo, though this one was slightly more jelly than crème. Just as opaque though, only two coats for opacity.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU6zxbxMcTXifZrnRc69jx0DEvyO97OOJvPjNNOUCdA2GXbO2NPgzs7wYInomh_yrz3Dga-FrHZODctQR5lU-L6h551P1nU950avULpGuLNIDfR7ugB1wHlvrac5E1pkBs9o3bjxwW-WIZ/s1600/glam-polish-karma%2527s-a-witch.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Glam Polish Karma's A Witch" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU6zxbxMcTXifZrnRc69jx0DEvyO97OOJvPjNNOUCdA2GXbO2NPgzs7wYInomh_yrz3Dga-FrHZODctQR5lU-L6h551P1nU950avULpGuLNIDfR7ugB1wHlvrac5E1pkBs9o3bjxwW-WIZ/s16040/glam-polish-karma%2527s-a-witch.JPG" title="Glam Polish Karma's A Witch @kelliegonzoblog" width="500" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Witches Be Trippin’</b> has multiple sizes of black, white and silver holographic glitter along with more of those color shifting iridescent glitter pieces in a clear base. I put one coat on top of Karma's A Witch. This is incredibly beautiful and I am mesmerized by it. You will probably want a thick top coat for this one as well to get a smooth finish.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq-CbpGjH8FpAuGRiEm5CcpkG_9Su-b_tA1g-1GXgp5HwraoNnBPjl6-tz29tSY2MTphymWO8X1a-kxZAPt4EKTB7UDlHuIv3qfg_pYWLA5xxMzHrADpjUtoiUHhwQUziJBPyE53_Lt4nx/s1600/glam-polish-witches-be-trippin.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Glam Polish Witches Be Trippin'" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq-CbpGjH8FpAuGRiEm5CcpkG_9Su-b_tA1g-1GXgp5HwraoNnBPjl6-tz29tSY2MTphymWO8X1a-kxZAPt4EKTB7UDlHuIv3qfg_pYWLA5xxMzHrADpjUtoiUHhwQUziJBPyE53_Lt4nx/s1600/glam-polish-witches-be-trippin.JPG" title="Glam Polish Witches Be Trippin' @kelliegonzoblog" width="486" /></a></div> <br /> Another shade shot for you!

This guy was slightly runny for me, but not terribly so. The jelly base can get goopy if you pile on your coats too quickly, so be sure to wait a few minutes between layers to get the best application.

Any-who, I've got another awesome indie holiday collection for you today, it's the <a href="http://www.potionpolish.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Potion Polish</a> Magic of Christmas collection! And spoiler alert...it's my favorite collection they've ever done!<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a class="button gray" href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/p/disclosure-policy.html">Press Sample</a></span></div> <br /> <b>Christmas Cheer</b> is a deep plummy purple with a blue sheen that shifts from a dark violet to a magenta cherry red to a cobalt blue with holographic flakes mixed in. This is a gorgeous shade and I was sad to take it off! Good formula, a touch on the runny side, but you get the right amount on your brush and you're set! This is two coats.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVHjcPxk9v6yalS1M9wLG2OTVJ2enSQeFghOKxeGU8JeAM06V_uGeq6VxuycSMdw0SSxoaTihkLGOqrKliiupgMk_Z3nlnHQeha-Mb7oLCh8WP3w7rGvS7RKwE1RjJysisZgvUwXrhz86r/s1600/potion-polish-christmas-cheer.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Potion Polish Christmas Cheer" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVHjcPxk9v6yalS1M9wLG2OTVJ2enSQeFghOKxeGU8JeAM06V_uGeq6VxuycSMdw0SSxoaTihkLGOqrKliiupgMk_Z3nlnHQeha-Mb7oLCh8WP3w7rGvS7RKwE1RjJysisZgvUwXrhz86r/s1600/potion-polish-christmas-cheer.JPG" title="Potion Polish Christmas Cheer @kelliegonzoblog" width="532" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Snowmelt</b> is a fosty winter blue with added silver flakes and a soft holographic effect.&nbsp;This formula knocked my wooly winter socks off!

They are selling it on the <a href="http://polishconvention.bigcartel.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">convention website</a> starting tomorrow with a limited amount of stock, with a pre-order to follow.<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a class="button gray" href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/p/disclosure-policy.html">Press Sample</a></span></div> <br /> <b>Brokelyn 2017&nbsp;</b>is a smokey indigo blue filled with glowy copper shimmer. Applies like butter, seriously effortless to polish with. If you use a normal-to-thick coat (like I usually do), it's opaque in one layer. If you're a stickler for thinner coats, you'll probably need two. I used two here because I always do.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYoJvyw2OhC3E0_5tvJmzItmytPxUJKL8o7d-COeSXAqLu63TfyMh-OCHlNIt5cZgml6JqTbbjFKk7lfWkbMjRIVOzp2RvOffo1uae07J_aUsxl_RVuZ-XDdvcNuqlIR1rwgM9gxg4SUTC/s1600/native-war-paints-brokelyn.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYoJvyw2OhC3E0_5tvJmzItmytPxUJKL8o7d-COeSXAqLu63TfyMh-OCHlNIt5cZgml6JqTbbjFKk7lfWkbMjRIVOzp2RvOffo1uae07J_aUsxl_RVuZ-XDdvcNuqlIR1rwgM9gxg4SUTC/s16040/native-war-paints-brokelyn.JPG" width="534" /></a></div> <br /> It dries a tad dull so you'll want top coat to bring out that copper fire. The polish in the horizontal photo below looks a little lighter because the NWP stark white label seen in the vertical shot above messes with my white balance a little, even though I try to fix the color/exposure the best I can. I think the second photo shows the polish most accurately in full sun lighting.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK7WkOxHvWHXlcS_fxsH8U1rslcgIiLqCCx8FTnfGzV8aCahyy-q1RtwXCRMNNvMv8jJeJ5QVc6l3uGqS8K2GqmROfIcOUa_ybNytrpKlrfOScgLEJySpXPbRsswv9hc0OwtQDqr-3BJar/s1600/native-war-paints-brokelyn-2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK7WkOxHvWHXlcS_fxsH8U1rslcgIiLqCCx8FTnfGzV8aCahyy-q1RtwXCRMNNvMv8jJeJ5QVc6l3uGqS8K2GqmROfIcOUa_ybNytrpKlrfOScgLEJySpXPbRsswv9hc0OwtQDqr-3BJar/s1600/native-war-paints-brokelyn-2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Brokelyn 2017 will be available on the <a href="http://polishconvention.bigcartel.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Polish Convention website</a> tomorrow, Sunday Dec. 3 at 9am EST and will sell for $10.

Today I'm excited to show you a new collection from a brand new indie brand, <a href="http://www.moonshinemani.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Moon Shine Mani</a> by my friend <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/phoebeamoon" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Phoebe Moon</a>! I've been following Phoebe's YouTube channel for a long time, a few years now maybe? She vlogs about nail polish and does a ton of live application videos, which I am a huge fan of. Her new brand is launching today with a holiday collection inspired by the movie Elf and I'm so pleased to help introduce her exciting endeavor to the blog-o-sphere! My friend Paola and I are posting about this on the same day, so please visit her <a href="http://nailpolishpursuit.com/moon-shine-mani-2016-elfing-around-holiday-collection/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">blog</a> to read her thoughts on the collection. Let's jump in!<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a class="button gray" href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/p/disclosure-policy.html">Press Sample</a></span></div> <br /> <b>Very Purpley</b> is a dusty purple with intense pale gold shimmer. This is a beautiful shade, kind of the exact shade I imagine when I think of Phoebe! Glides on the nail and opaque in almost one coat. I used two here. A shimmer this heavy can be prone to brushstrokes but I don't mind them.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9B377JrD5YJv6zj_RWDyBkHbW9cw68Mj_IWwHOnxIiwZNqZFyYJeOCE3IJ3jjeDL57cjuiy_euqEnozClkdJXrwrSS71ThUZBWFKb7t6s-BRLGhYkcTwFxxKanpdwCGqx9VBPc470MrHM/s1600/moon-shine-mani-very-purpley.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Moon Shine Mani Very Purpley" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9B377JrD5YJv6zj_RWDyBkHbW9cw68Mj_IWwHOnxIiwZNqZFyYJeOCE3IJ3jjeDL57cjuiy_euqEnozClkdJXrwrSS71ThUZBWFKb7t6s-BRLGhYkcTwFxxKanpdwCGqx9VBPc470MrHM/s1600/moon-shine-mani-very-purpley.JPG" title="Moon Shine Mani Very Purpley @kelliegonzoblog" width="550" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Swirly Twirly Gumdrops</b> is a mid-tone turquoise holographic. Really nice to apply and covers in almost one coat. I used two here for 100% coverage.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnPHcXSBWmbI-cDZaVC0VP96sRChDCOCDHWqWfhF2AGSgGyKDeXmXhGv5SmkWGvRWVqfdvdcO6p0UBezMMli2Dn5iBB-01rDLCfS1iv5aJwmmytS5b7F0KT6VhY21rDeAgB_ufUQC6jmNP/s1600/moon-shine-mani-swirly-twirly-gumdrops.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Moon Shine Mani Swirly Twirly Gumdrops" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnPHcXSBWmbI-cDZaVC0VP96sRChDCOCDHWqWfhF2AGSgGyKDeXmXhGv5SmkWGvRWVqfdvdcO6p0UBezMMli2Dn5iBB-01rDLCfS1iv5aJwmmytS5b7F0KT6VhY21rDeAgB_ufUQC6jmNP/s1600/moon-shine-mani-swirly-twirly-gumdrops.JPG" title="Moon Shine Mani Swirly Twirly Gumdrops @kelliegonzoblog" width="560" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Jovie </b>is a cool toned red-orange holographic. Excellent formula, a little thick but in a good way. This is opaque in one coat but I used two here. This is named for the female love interest in the movie, the inimitable Zooey Deschanel, everyone's favorite manic pixie dreamgirl!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjW0H2_Q9ycqdLHE1m_jRlo51ZMgggKWWS7sWEfv772OfzHzeTI_SJtebsjG39EvMIJ14EASZPCkY_5liTBqsvuWJW3buADMXzxw-0eP2kQVtcy6yKgvP9FKy35cP43GSo7gSASmwmfTj4/s1600/moon-shine-mani-jovie.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Moon Shine Mani Jovie" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjW0H2_Q9ycqdLHE1m_jRlo51ZMgggKWWS7sWEfv772OfzHzeTI_SJtebsjG39EvMIJ14EASZPCkY_5liTBqsvuWJW3buADMXzxw-0eP2kQVtcy6yKgvP9FKy35cP43GSo7gSASmwmfTj4/s1600/moon-shine-mani-jovie.JPG" title="Moon Shine Mani Jovie @kelliegonzoblog" width="544" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Buddy the Elf</b> is a metallic green with gold micro flakes mixed in. This is a mega metallic, the kind that can get a touch goopy if you use too heavy of a coat. I recommend two thin layers. This is really the perfect shade for the character of Buddy!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-elW-Lq-QIeEu-20364ipjCUbgzCDZY28Jvyxn9TL7KscTURupTaVO63MqhimBv5gSsp3q5u4ehlwfi-QdZZCHy9LOYr4pi_zmy-8ojPHGM3b07nolkuP8erPvpNJDzGxezRE1otQNURS/s1600/moon-shine-mani-buddy-the-elf.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Moon Shine Mani Buddy the Elf" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-elW-Lq-QIeEu-20364ipjCUbgzCDZY28Jvyxn9TL7KscTURupTaVO63MqhimBv5gSsp3q5u4ehlwfi-QdZZCHy9LOYr4pi_zmy-8ojPHGM3b07nolkuP8erPvpNJDzGxezRE1otQNURS/s1600/moon-shine-mani-buddy-the-elf.JPG" title="Moon Shine Mani Buddy the Elf @kelliegonzoblog" width="554" /></a></div> <br /> <b>The Naughty List</b> is a blackened plum with a greyed twist in a holographic finish. This was thinner than the other formulas, and just a touch on the runny side for me. I used two coats for opacity here.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO1qT27R82h1F-G9uzQQj2HiwfkXOAy0cdEda1ettIpMoCuXObgh6C47myGShMmFLiRc6wuSO9x-0-O5zmixeyV7TXmMcpe5P3CPTvE5KS4AOySRERMSHLGNGwVSQHgA4uuFtbKthv_Zy9/s1600/moon-shine-mani-the-naughty-list.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Moon Shine Mani The Naughty List" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO1qT27R82h1F-G9uzQQj2HiwfkXOAy0cdEda1ettIpMoCuXObgh6C47myGShMmFLiRc6wuSO9x-0-O5zmixeyV7TXmMcpe5P3CPTvE5KS4AOySRERMSHLGNGwVSQHgA4uuFtbKthv_Zy9/s1600/moon-shine-mani-the-naughty-list.JPG" title="Moon Shine Mani The Naughty List @kelliegonzoblog" width="546" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Smiling's My Favorite</b> is a warm antique gold metallic with added glints of scattered holographic particles. This is crazy, I can't even describe the consistency of this, but to me it looked like micro pigment spheres of gold, melding onto itself to form a velvet network of color. Maybe I'm crazy, but regardless it's pretty neat. This took two coats to be opaque.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmptqC-TyFc9HAJ_GMu3rMsfb-3kB5kSnKlMSpzno1xUcz48LjdvggMbOhxcyNgawFXaSkQlo6hNeu9gVLcGFj0HjaiEWgPBuQC2i4sTsrDCRwmrkTvAdkcwk7G2_vt7WaefY5EX5dEtq-/s1600/moon-shine-mani-smilings-my-favorite.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Moon Shine Mani Smiling's My Favorite" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmptqC-TyFc9HAJ_GMu3rMsfb-3kB5kSnKlMSpzno1xUcz48LjdvggMbOhxcyNgawFXaSkQlo6hNeu9gVLcGFj0HjaiEWgPBuQC2i4sTsrDCRwmrkTvAdkcwk7G2_vt7WaefY5EX5dEtq-/s1600/moon-shine-mani-smilings-my-favorite.JPG" title="Moon Shine Mani Smiling's My Favorite @kelliegonzoblog" width="552" /></a></div> <br /> The bottle shape of these is a little different and I noticed the labels were a little ill fitting, but Phoebe is fixing this by putting the labels on the handles from now on, they were just on the glass part of the bottles for the pr samples. The brush shape is medium-wide and a little flat, very nice for application.<br /> <br /> Do you watch Phoebe on YouTube?

They are taking us on a tropical escape from the snow and cold to give us "warmed up" winter in the form of bright shades, shimmer and vibrancy! Let's take a look at the Seas and Greetings collection!<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a class="button gray" href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/p/disclosure-policy.html">Press Sample</a></span></div> <br /> <b>Good Tide-ings</b> is described as a cool blue lavender, or in other words, a periwinkle crème. This is a total one coat wonder, excellent buttery formula that is very opaque. I used two coats here, as usual.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYcbQ1awuIFosHSn4Bf75nekHVnV0RFOCMpLOGGHTXIPMxwj60UGy5uDK6H_3KA3T6ctFD5F-8LvyYf1Q3LnPQIhQF3FJlOQdrOlb5gT1QU08U6yN_0V6msIsPftuU9ELT2FoVpKEF1BM9/s1600/china-glaze-good-tide-ings.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="China Glaze Good Tide-ings" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYcbQ1awuIFosHSn4Bf75nekHVnV0RFOCMpLOGGHTXIPMxwj60UGy5uDK6H_3KA3T6ctFD5F-8LvyYf1Q3LnPQIhQF3FJlOQdrOlb5gT1QU08U6yN_0V6msIsPftuU9ELT2FoVpKEF1BM9/s1600/china-glaze-good-tide-ings.JPG" title="China Glaze Good Tide-ings @kelliegonzoblog" width="572" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Warm Wishes</b> is a watermelon coral with super subtle silver shimmer. This formula was on the thin side, so it could be runny if you overload your brush. I noticed some slight streaks after two coats, so I used three layers here.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2GFGdZZ-q7blv1amrEuBv15Ar1tHfqtM6A6jodTM00hR9DbZZWe_NvcBNig0jQYhpVkA4ifPZrvYPIO-ElZ-1poUXhge1XlrzSn1dsmrFc3Z-BCJuJlg5BUFKKb1W9MLO3MGz5acVWoKW/s1600/china-glaze-warm-wishes.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="China Glaze Warm Wishes" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2GFGdZZ-q7blv1amrEuBv15Ar1tHfqtM6A6jodTM00hR9DbZZWe_NvcBNig0jQYhpVkA4ifPZrvYPIO-ElZ-1poUXhge1XlrzSn1dsmrFc3Z-BCJuJlg5BUFKKb1W9MLO3MGz5acVWoKW/s1600/china-glaze-warm-wishes.JPG" title="China Glaze Warm Wishes @kelliegonzoblog" width="576" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Joy To The Waves</b> is a shimmering "serene" blue with a strong gold flash. This is thin and a bit sheer. I used three coats for full coverage. This type of shimmer can get brushstrokey so I recommend polishing with care.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_yjDz6BkE5GlOM5G50xp_WmQwyBgxHkiTXx_tAWUbCZO70NkIMT_unlxNhiSYP4YiV4LCLRlORvQg9FnsEuRc9w10hhfyjv46nKOj_-YgCp5zZaDw18meHam_-XThdscFERtEAWFfzurF/s1600/china-glaze-joy-to-the-waves.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="China Glaze Joy To The Waves" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_yjDz6BkE5GlOM5G50xp_WmQwyBgxHkiTXx_tAWUbCZO70NkIMT_unlxNhiSYP4YiV4LCLRlORvQg9FnsEuRc9w10hhfyjv46nKOj_-YgCp5zZaDw18meHam_-XThdscFERtEAWFfzurF/s1600/china-glaze-joy-to-the-waves.JPG" title="China Glaze Joy To The Waves @kelliegonzoblog" width="574" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Eat, Pink, Be Merry</b> is a pale pink with subtle shimmer. Another thin formula, and a little sheer. I found that floating the brush over the nail instead of pressing down to be the best method of application to ensure a streak-free finish. This is three coats.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRgOfZu2soB61KNpXpwVgQSIifOcxaTIAmZYCChA7XX0YobnotwiJvZ6KmrjPeyC91UxA4KOUYmgih8gwa03fNwP1YHmXHCKSGQlf93AyMyFAALIMCVu699Dq5foUy946qVXE7UNcQZx6Z/s1600/china-glaze-eat-pink-be-merry.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="China Glaze Eat, Pink, Be Merry" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRgOfZu2soB61KNpXpwVgQSIifOcxaTIAmZYCChA7XX0YobnotwiJvZ6KmrjPeyC91UxA4KOUYmgih8gwa03fNwP1YHmXHCKSGQlf93AyMyFAALIMCVu699Dq5foUy946qVXE7UNcQZx6Z/s1600/china-glaze-eat-pink-be-merry.JPG" title="China Glaze Eat, Pink, Be Merry @kelliegonzoblog" width="570" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Partridge In a Palm Tree</b> is an aqua green matte with silver shimmer. This is one of those mattes that dries SUPER fast. And if you put on too thin of a layer, it can crack upon dry down. I got the best results when I applied this very quickly with a good amount of polish on my brush. If you manipulate it too much you will get uneven streaks. Very opaque, this is two coats but you could get away with one if applied well.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0zlYJeC890N8cS6bsX4-d9flnynTLDVeXqCpWVgIPaKjvYwHS8LAgnDp_fSLKRd7Viyg4hrzPYDv1pGRME78Fhf0YB2CFLKSzm-5sODsRzPUnQCPABri-_-JJUQiVVXrkpdT1XO0GZZxo/s1600/china-glaze-partridge-in-a-palm-tree.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="China Glaze Partridge In a Palm Tree" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0zlYJeC890N8cS6bsX4-d9flnynTLDVeXqCpWVgIPaKjvYwHS8LAgnDp_fSLKRd7Viyg4hrzPYDv1pGRME78Fhf0YB2CFLKSzm-5sODsRzPUnQCPABri-_-JJUQiVVXrkpdT1XO0GZZxo/s1600/china-glaze-partridge-in-a-palm-tree.JPG" title="China Glaze Partridge In a Palm Tree @kelliegonzoblog" width="572" /></a></div> <br /> And you know I had to show this to you with top coat.

A more orangey red kind of coral, thin but not runny or difficult. I found this really easy to polish with actually! This is two coats.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzPq3KmJGKbt5b0YuVCow6imIl95IDQg_pey1OSqm0RwCakTFBfHVe05t9QeZbSq5_OY7M4viS7MdVpiWCQUopnJpjdZJ05Ux1iC79_dFCweDf4yGwfG07KZn427WeEMigtxUEvnELsPOi/s1600/china-glaze-tis-the-sea-sun.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="China Glaze Tis The Sea-Sun" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzPq3KmJGKbt5b0YuVCow6imIl95IDQg_pey1OSqm0RwCakTFBfHVe05t9QeZbSq5_OY7M4viS7MdVpiWCQUopnJpjdZJ05Ux1iC79_dFCweDf4yGwfG07KZn427WeEMigtxUEvnELsPOi/s1600/china-glaze-tis-the-sea-sun.JPG" title="China Glaze Tis The Sea-Sun @kelliegonzoblog" width="576" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Sand In My Mistletoes</b> is a peachy nude crème. This was a little thin, but surprisingly opaque.

A more typical holiday type shade, this reminds me of a bold party dress. This is absolutely a one coat polish, I even left it alone at one because it looked so great I felt another coat couldn't improve it any more!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNvC8l0W0OfuWov7UfUhndDcTl0IU4avXiiXwYFD7rpclcDnaznLU_HpaTxD3d-iksb2Y94j-mnrqZCSBSYOgILPgPoIlw6JbVymHPuj98J30uTiaCEK_LtPXPxaxyfEO5Fx1yPAHISKC2/s1600/china-glaze-the-more-the-berrier.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="China Glaze The More The Berrier" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNvC8l0W0OfuWov7UfUhndDcTl0IU4avXiiXwYFD7rpclcDnaznLU_HpaTxD3d-iksb2Y94j-mnrqZCSBSYOgILPgPoIlw6JbVymHPuj98J30uTiaCEK_LtPXPxaxyfEO5Fx1yPAHISKC2/s1600/china-glaze-the-more-the-berrier.JPG" title="China Glaze The More The Berrier @kelliegonzoblog" width="570" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Twinkle, Twinkle Little Starfish</b> is an iridescent gold-to-green shimmer topper. I am convinced this was made to pair with Partridge In a Palm Tree, it looks perfect in my humble opinion haha. This is two coats over Partridge.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdbSyThTNjfRvaXvvCP2ETv85Vbs2mMWczmEBk8R0uly_VWeG76LBBNagNYAGnHdh17yJDo8In5L49rOw9H81ExGdCWjO2PNAZJSmLzXNWBrq2sL8rARpFricv8IJEC9UlNRIcfUDFOWLR/s1600/china-glaze-twinkle-twinkle-little-starfish.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="China Glaze Twinkle, Twinkle Little Starfish" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdbSyThTNjfRvaXvvCP2ETv85Vbs2mMWczmEBk8R0uly_VWeG76LBBNagNYAGnHdh17yJDo8In5L49rOw9H81ExGdCWjO2PNAZJSmLzXNWBrq2sL8rARpFricv8IJEC9UlNRIcfUDFOWLR/s1600/china-glaze-twinkle-twinkle-little-starfish.JPG" title="China Glaze Twinkle, Twinkle Little Starfish @kelliegonzoblog" width="578" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Seas and Greetings</b> is a striking amethyst purple shimmer. This formula reminds me of the old school polishes that were full of chemicals, kinda sheer and a bit watery but when built up they look really dimensional and glowy. This is three coats.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGRoyLRry3yYFw03lhrUBfwkD2ccu69-hrUHFOVn9Tv30mnvml3SjtgLnriO0SAwZXPZNHHMMugaeFyadGevlqQZo1IJNcLV3y3E2nLtW_pTzyYisgCKJCt-GUm_h2LvCh2NRGJlKbn2ME/s1600/china-glaze-seas-and-greetings.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="China Glaze Seas and Greetings" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGRoyLRry3yYFw03lhrUBfwkD2ccu69-hrUHFOVn9Tv30mnvml3SjtgLnriO0SAwZXPZNHHMMugaeFyadGevlqQZo1IJNcLV3y3E2nLtW_pTzyYisgCKJCt-GUm_h2LvCh2NRGJlKbn2ME/s1600/china-glaze-seas-and-greetings.JPG" title="China Glaze Seas and Greetings @kelliegonzoblog" width="578" /></a></div> <br /> This collection is available now at Sally Beauty Supply stores and online at <a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.sallybeauty.com</a> for $6.99 each. This is a crazy refreshing color palette for me right now, being knee-deep in the usual holiday reds, greens and dark colors haha. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm really pleased with the departure from the status quo for the season. My favorite is the combo of Partridge In a Palm Tree and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Starfish.

This is a six piece collection inspired by Japan, though I'm not sure the exact name. I've seen it called the Fall Into Japanese collection and also Kimono-Over. Either way, I bought four of the shades that tickled my fancy.<br /> <br /> <b>Udon Know Me</b> is a dusty stone blue crème. This is thick but nice to apply. I did end up using three coats, it still looked a tad streaky to me on two. I'm obsessed with this color.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Fqhsvup-hRqxiASJqk5f_tMFLMraxz62sTbcR17o8B4vQS2geyDmYM_DNtK5Tr0lxa9DsQ28_drujIShYSC53s_6bfM4zPY0ut6KDJc-W45WiXNYuaFD3dUf1EQrCOWgnTrWUIUg5x6h/s1600/essie-udon-know-me.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Essie Udon Know Me" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Fqhsvup-hRqxiASJqk5f_tMFLMraxz62sTbcR17o8B4vQS2geyDmYM_DNtK5Tr0lxa9DsQ28_drujIShYSC53s_6bfM4zPY0ut6KDJc-W45WiXNYuaFD3dUf1EQrCOWgnTrWUIUg5x6h/s1600/essie-udon-know-me.JPG" title="Essie Udon Know Me @kelliegonzoblog" width="522" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Go Go Geisha</b> is a pale muted pink crème. This was just as thick as Udon, but covered evenly on two coats. I realized after I bought this it's a dupe for Zoya's Brittany, one of my favorite shades from 2015, but that one has a "satin" finish while this dries shiny.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR9XEF8LBM64PjH-m2Ngzm2Z0UcCxUEXBrKBXiYxjgD4SRE_GkIXsD_NuXsIstK9vIvXBR_pYZ8YzOaWxw1lzLSrT_DaeB9DMk6lP6jqUCGPQY1DMt0nPLn1jn7RV0E2yn6ZB0mQjlXgoa/s1600/essie-go-go-geisha.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Essie Go Go Geisha" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR9XEF8LBM64PjH-m2Ngzm2Z0UcCxUEXBrKBXiYxjgD4SRE_GkIXsD_NuXsIstK9vIvXBR_pYZ8YzOaWxw1lzLSrT_DaeB9DMk6lP6jqUCGPQY1DMt0nPLn1jn7RV0E2yn6ZB0mQjlXgoa/s1600/essie-go-go-geisha.JPG" title="Essie Go Go Geisha @kelliegonzoblog" width="518" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Now And Zen</b> is a subdued grey crème. Another thick formula, but easy to apply and opaque in two coats. I can't resist colors like this, they are must haves for me.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgewhOjws46hkVbMAtG6dsmcCvsg1gskhDh8hp5DwORL9Y_3kKxoSoBqmINYzDpCeohg9tERND0qTT4oD4IwXJoTlLQRvruVfhsczTL-E4AlTjdT1q_FjrdNdLx5sxXQRbB4uaHprm_lzqQ/s1600/essie-now-and-zen.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Essie Now and Zen" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgewhOjws46hkVbMAtG6dsmcCvsg1gskhDh8hp5DwORL9Y_3kKxoSoBqmINYzDpCeohg9tERND0qTT4oD4IwXJoTlLQRvruVfhsczTL-E4AlTjdT1q_FjrdNdLx5sxXQRbB4uaHprm_lzqQ/s1600/essie-now-and-zen.JPG" title="Essie Now and Zen @kelliegonzoblog" width="508" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Playing Koi</b> is a medium/deep rust orange. This has more of a jelly crème formula, it took me three coats to get a non-streaky, opaque finish but I didn't mind because it ends up looking so juicy! Dries a bit darker than it looks in the bottle. A great pumpkin-y fall color.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2A8v0SJeOZ885VappCAD9oa-jwWVjga9_uZXxwFpmWQP25sd43Lci16vhqm1bQcmbJkclhv3jAWfmjchOSZS44gl3h1Xv2w8aBmh774MKMSzCM2MRp5Q4iMeai_TFGeVv8t3T4pGREhAe/s1600/essie-playing-koi.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Essie Playing Koi" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2A8v0SJeOZ885VappCAD9oa-jwWVjga9_uZXxwFpmWQP25sd43Lci16vhqm1bQcmbJkclhv3jAWfmjchOSZS44gl3h1Xv2w8aBmh774MKMSzCM2MRp5Q4iMeai_TFGeVv8t3T4pGREhAe/s1600/essie-playing-koi.JPG" title="Essie Playing Koi @kelliegonzoblog" width="518" /></a></div> <br /> The two colors I didn't pick up from the collection are <b>Kimono-Over</b>, a purple jelly crème, and <b>Maki Me Happy</b>, a deep crimson berry jelly crème. This collection should probably still be in most stores still. Essie is sold in Ulta and in most drugstores like CVS and Walmart and on <a href="http://www.essie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Essie.com</a>. I purchased mine from <a href="http://transdesign.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Transdesign.com</a>.

Thanks for dropping by today, I know there's a lot going on with all the great Black Friday shopping deals out there, and lots of us are recovering from food comas via yesterday's Thanksgiving feasts haha. But we gotta have polish!

This has a fabulous formula and covers in one coat. It does deepen a bit on the second coat, which is how many I've done here.

Two coats. This is a full glitter polish so you'll want a thick layer of top coat or two for a smooth finish.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-uPE5tkYRr2L4Cqpv3V1PMRljUUTeKq_GC3fqBJfUulejefO-7-ZOz0Xm9kXWsAeRumYkTDEdqQKLvG5rLMBWa7PItOF0sgWQbCeaZpVGCBJhu4IIfUTCjNsaoedrWZMC5OTC1qd5SP5a/s1600/powder-perfect-merry-little-christmas.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Powder Perfect Merry Little Christmas" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-uPE5tkYRr2L4Cqpv3V1PMRljUUTeKq_GC3fqBJfUulejefO-7-ZOz0Xm9kXWsAeRumYkTDEdqQKLvG5rLMBWa7PItOF0sgWQbCeaZpVGCBJhu4IIfUTCjNsaoedrWZMC5OTC1qd5SP5a/s1600/powder-perfect-merry-little-christmas.JPG" title="Powder Perfect Merry Little Christmas @kelliegonzoblog" width="496" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Sexy Santa</b> is a luxe maroon red holographic with a glowy pink undertone. This seemed a bit uneven on the first layer despite it being very pigmented, it has more of a jelly-ish consistency, but two coats made it look perfect.

This is sheer enough to be a layering shade too, I bet it would look great over a black crème.

This classy bunch of colors are gorgeous and is sure to liven up your nails this holiday season, and beyond.<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a class="button gray" href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/p/disclosure-policy.html">Press Sample</a></span></div> <br /> <b>Family </b>is a light gold linear holographic with added shimmers. This looks more yellow gold in some lighting and more soft pale gold in others. I adore a good gold and this makes me swoon! Two effortless coats.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy1Ciw7fSOwEMlwf6ziqbk1EO51TdNNoxDptEtZFesY9vpzN2pMY5zsqKtZo8y23iceFek0LP_l0fHesZYMMshdtnzI8b__vzj0xUSUooSYtI0QJHNYuk-JA5xq3zhIDNsHXBto53ec2WV/s1600/different-dimension-family.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Different Dimension Family" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy1Ciw7fSOwEMlwf6ziqbk1EO51TdNNoxDptEtZFesY9vpzN2pMY5zsqKtZo8y23iceFek0LP_l0fHesZYMMshdtnzI8b__vzj0xUSUooSYtI0QJHNYuk-JA5xq3zhIDNsHXBto53ec2WV/s1600/different-dimension-family.JPG" title="Different Dimension Family @kelliegonzoblog" width="540" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Naughty</b> is a bold cherry red holographic. This flame is a bit less intense than the other holos in this collection, it almost seems like the vibrant base color is swallowing it up, but it's more prominent in person. You can get full coverage in one coat but two gives a slightly deeper color.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOcloD9_edxBcYK4JqxN5vxtejxtjwWh4f-u2JqQvpRa8LL8Bzt60NxzFkdqfdhf42leoRiQ_Z5S8YaBcE-4P6yoe41FmCnMFshnTPDJGii_t5IlIrCD0rQz15x-LgZLLck6tVWPSpRRGM/s1600/different-dimension-naughty.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Different Dimension Naughty" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOcloD9_edxBcYK4JqxN5vxtejxtjwWh4f-u2JqQvpRa8LL8Bzt60NxzFkdqfdhf42leoRiQ_Z5S8YaBcE-4P6yoe41FmCnMFshnTPDJGii_t5IlIrCD0rQz15x-LgZLLck6tVWPSpRRGM/s1600/different-dimension-naughty.JPG" title="Different Dimension Naughty @kelliegonzoblog" width="540" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Celebration </b>is a greyed taupe holographic with added shimmers, flakies and reddish-copper holographic microglitters. Fabulous formula, two coats for full coverage. Due to the microglitters this dries ever so slightly more textured than the others, but you may not even notice.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8KNpaQBeDznzIDCDMpAI8yOmA4yZwiUc9PQYHGdmr6IVHA2HfOkc6f1Fq-FkEpj_-3x0tpJ50YPgHsU2NckF4g5cSr1aDYjywM7Pi0ULxmR-kGXrgUkhkGw5PNHKNQ-SP3Tqi5IXEpn7p/s1600/different-dimension-celebration.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Different Dimension Celebration" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8KNpaQBeDznzIDCDMpAI8yOmA4yZwiUc9PQYHGdmr6IVHA2HfOkc6f1Fq-FkEpj_-3x0tpJ50YPgHsU2NckF4g5cSr1aDYjywM7Pi0ULxmR-kGXrgUkhkGw5PNHKNQ-SP3Tqi5IXEpn7p/s1600/different-dimension-celebration.JPG" title="Different Dimension Celebration @kelliegonzoblog" width="532" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Nice </b>is a cheery medium grass green linear holographic. This has almost a jelly-ish formula, less opaque. I used three coats here but you may be fine with two depending on your application style.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCAt3VLq9tNZBm08Nb486PF7nsHrvg-KShZp8bTtiR7eQ8qU_T3S7gSjQ4PJZTdKFAzuEEwpf2iifcJ55uiB-bCG1M31NIylbfANuH4cvhIaWu2350m9zgm887TCjNvJdgCfM-l65OlO8_/s1600/different-dimension-nice.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Different Dimension Nice" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCAt3VLq9tNZBm08Nb486PF7nsHrvg-KShZp8bTtiR7eQ8qU_T3S7gSjQ4PJZTdKFAzuEEwpf2iifcJ55uiB-bCG1M31NIylbfANuH4cvhIaWu2350m9zgm887TCjNvJdgCfM-l65OlO8_/s1600/different-dimension-nice.JPG" title="Different Dimension Nice @kelliegonzoblog" width="534" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Tradition </b>is a pale copper holographic polish with added copper shimmers. Another excellent formula, two coats. A gorgeous shade, I need more copper polishes in my life!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwGwC3Zw8j9dRK2cipsJwSm8Cd2x0WSEB0sLOQDn3S-uHJ6ZHzyqU3-59mhXN92280K-5rFlleyMz2FI2ilv5X7XCicll7TFuLRdVKKsN04Hr9cUM8_6HIHMYHWHrYZ-ktoUvHL_vtWvvc/s1600/different-dimension-tradition.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Different Dimension Tradition" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwGwC3Zw8j9dRK2cipsJwSm8Cd2x0WSEB0sLOQDn3S-uHJ6ZHzyqU3-59mhXN92280K-5rFlleyMz2FI2ilv5X7XCicll7TFuLRdVKKsN04Hr9cUM8_6HIHMYHWHrYZ-ktoUvHL_vtWvvc/s1600/different-dimension-tradition.JPG" title="Different Dimension Tradition @kelliegonzoblog" width="546" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Blizzard </b>is a glitter topper, a clear base filled with silver holographic glitters, iridescent glitters and white glitters to represent freshly fallen snow. I used one coat over Naughty. The twinkly iridescent glitters are my favorite in this, I can't wait to try it over more base colors! Dense with glitter and super easy to apply evenly, which I really appreciate as I find layering to be tricking sometimes.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkBjEJxJSvqA4gRnZ1eh_eedgTQU8DqnisUrpyibLEApo_WinUfPh7C4UOf2d-2VheuP81DviCV2jyu-nG_jQ2ub9jTVRMaMuZGFJXTG7ZCqY-H5KF9xCcnCtG_1vSUuj_rda0ed8IIgYI/s1600/different-dimension-blizzard.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Different Dimension Blizzard" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkBjEJxJSvqA4gRnZ1eh_eedgTQU8DqnisUrpyibLEApo_WinUfPh7C4UOf2d-2VheuP81DviCV2jyu-nG_jQ2ub9jTVRMaMuZGFJXTG7ZCqY-H5KF9xCcnCtG_1vSUuj_rda0ed8IIgYI/s1600/different-dimension-blizzard.JPG" title="Different Dimension Blizzard @kelliegonzoblog" width="552" /></a></div> <br /> <b>Rejoice </b>is a silver linear holographic polish with added shimmers and silver micro flakies. Mega flame density on this one, like wowza! The flakes add another cool dimension too, it's a winner.
