Holy Halo...(Glitter Gal Marine Blue)

Will we ever get sick of halo's? I'm going to say doubtful. Who wouldn't want this shiny, glittery goodness on there nails? 

Here we have Glitter Gal Marine Blue. I reviewed this a long time ago but that picture sucked so..... It is a basic blue but with holographic properties. Formula was perfect! I only needed 2 coats and topped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. 

Ok, clean the drool up:)

D!ck In A Box

Sometimes I choose a polish purely for the name. This is one of them. Yah know, since I'm a super mature adult! I lucked out because it's also freaking awesome. D!ck In A Box by Girly Bits is from the 2013 fall collection. It was inspired by Saturday Night Live (uh duh lol). It is a deep charcoal grey with scattered halo. I only had to use two coats and topped it with my Sally Hansen Inta-Dri.

Uh....Hey....Hello.....Sorry It's Been So Long

*Peeking around corner*.....'Hey I'm an asshole' :)

So I know it's been forever!!! And I apologize. As you may have read in earlier post I've been working as an RN for a few years now. My job became my life and I was working way, way, waaayyy too much overtime. Starting a few months ago I decided to nix that in the butt and I changed departments. I'm an ER RN now (which I fucking love!! No seriously, I love my fucking job!!). My nails took a back seat for a while. You would have been APPALLED! They were terrible. I re-took up my bad habit of *GASP*....biting my nails (pretend my face is twisted in horror). A couple weeks ago I was looking over my polishes and my blog and asked myself 'what the hell are you doing'? I totally miss this and I don't think I sucked too bad lol. So I've been letting my nails grow. The best way to get myself to stop biting them is to paint them. I've been making sure I use the proper hand/nail lotion at work. So Wa-lah....here is my first post in forever. 

PS. I had to use my iPhone to take these pictures because I lost my memory card for my camera...whooops. 

Up we have a lovely polish from B Squared Lacquer. This is my first experience with this brand and I'm very happy! Sugar Plum is a dark rich purple halo with purple shimmer. Rainbows and sunshine on my damn nails!!!

A-England Tristam

I am such a bad blogger:( I was posting so well....I have a new job which has kept me busy but my schedule is settling down. Anywho...A-England Tristam!!!!!!!! Such a wonderful polish. It's a darkish holographic blue. In some light I kind of think it flashes purple.

It was opaque in two coats and I topped it with SV. A-England polishes are a dream to work with! You should definitely go check them out.

Lynnderella Shape Shifter

Oh the drama...enough said on that. I think some people are going to be nervous admitting they like Lynnderella. Well screw it...I don't necessarily agree with the business tactics but I like this freakin' polish. Can't help it. Shape Shifter has silver holographic glitter in a clear base. There's supposed to be different shapes throughout the bottle: butterflies, stars, hexes, bars, crescents and flowers. 

As you can see in the picture above there are only hexes and bar glitter. I didn't really try that hard to look for the shapes. I've had this polish for six months (yes I'm now just swatching it, that's how behind I am) and I was lazy and shook it for 5 seconds. I did get some stars and crescents out but those ended up on my other hand (which I will not swatch, I hate it). This is 2 coats over Orly Out Of This World. I didn't have any curling or warped glitter (remember sat for 6 months). I did have to 'lay' the glitter on top but I don't really mind doing that. I topped everything off with Gelous and CG Fast Forward. Everything was smooth with no bumps.

So remember: I like the polish.

I need a more organized way to go about swatching my polishes. I still can't decide how I want to organize my polish in general. It's become this complex dilemma lol!

Color Club Otherworldly

Color Club Otherworldly came out in 2011 in the Starry Temptress collection. This is actually one of my favorite collections. It's a ridiculously (in a good way) bright blue with holographic glitter. The whole collection is just bright and fun. It was very easy to apply and it dried quickly. This is two coats topped with Gelous and SV.

This collection is worth checking out!! Great for summertime.

China Glaze Midnight Mission

Midnight Mission came out in the Vintage Vixen collection back in 2010. It is a deep blue with a metallic/foil finish. It seemed everyone was raving about this one when it came out. Don't shoot me...Not a huge fan. It doesn't perk me up, get me excited or really illicit any feeling at all. I actually wanted to take it off as soon as I put it on...AGAIN my opinion! 

I added a little Kleancolor Chunky Holo BlueBell to the ring and middle finger for fun. Not bad I suppose.

Hits Apolo (Color Focus on Blue)

Today I have another blue to show you guys! Apolo is from the Hits No Olimpo collection. Apolo is the perfect royal blue holo. It applied even, smooth, dried quickly and I only needed two coats. So far this is my favorite collection from Hits. I know some people have had problems with their brushes being wonky but I've had good luck so far. The only issue I have noticed is the brush not being even. I would definitely check these out, especially if you are a holo fan. You can purchase them from llarowe.  

Okay, so I officially graduate on Wednesday. I know I keep saying I'll try and post more but this time it should really happen! I do have some awesome posts already scheduled for this week! Enjoy!

NerdLacquer I Think You Call Me...Sexy

Another amazing polish from NerdLacquer. You Call Me...Sexy is a royal blue with silver iridescent and holographic glitter. Plus you can see some large silver hexagonal glitter.
This is another win from NL! I used three coats ( could have used two ) and the glitter smoothed and layed nicely. I topped it off with Cult Nails Wicked Fast top coat.

Happy Holo Monday (Hits Hera)

A few days ago I decided to start Flakey Friday. Well Monday's can suck too so I decide to have Happy Holo Monday!! Who doesn't want to start the week with a Holo! Here we have  HITs Hera from the No Olimpo collection. This is a green/teal holo. I think it came out more teal in my pictures. Formula applies with no problem but the brush was a little wonky. 

Off to work!

A England Bridal Veil

I would like to start with how much I'm enjoying these small, independent, one women nail polish companies! I have a ton to swatch for over the next, well, probably a couple months because I've ordered a lot!!

Here is a quick picture of A England's Bridal Veil. It is a black holo-graphic. I love everything about this brand. Adina (the owner of A England) has one creative mind! I love every color that I have received so far. The formula was perfect. I only needed two coats and it dried relatively fast. You can buy this here and here.

I made my first Lush order a few days ago after some suggestions. Lemon Flutter and Helping Hands are on their way!!

A-England Lady Of The Lake

No Flash

This was my first experience with a-england. Love at first...application!! Lady is a medium purple with a rainbow glitter and glow. It was opaque in two coats and dried rather quickly. The formula was just right...not to thin...not to thick. The brush to me was normal and I didn't have any problem using it to apply the polish.

Hits No Olimpo Hestia

I ordered a bunch of Hits from Llarowe a few weeks ago. This is my first experience with them and I must say I am quite surprised. Hestia is a lilac holographic purple.
Just look at all those colors come through! The formula was a little on the sheer side but easy to work with. The only problem is the brush.  It's not cut evenly and is a little frumpy but it works.

I'm Back!! With Glitter Gal Marine Blue

December has been one crazy month!! I'm not going to into any details. This blog is a happy place:)
I finally caved and ordered some Glitter Gal nail polish. I have been ordering from the wonderful Llarowe. She is so quick and efficient.
Here we have Glitter Gal Marine Blue. It is a basic blue but with holographic properties. It's fantastic! I love the way it shimmers in the light.
I made another purchase from Llarowe...Lynderella!! I am so excited.

Something New! (Slightly Picture Heavy)

First I'd like to say 'welcome' to the new followers! I was surprised when I logged into blogger today. 

I decided to try something new because I have so many polishes that I have not swatched yet. Everyday (or every other day), I'm going to randomly pick a polish (possibly two polishes) out of my collection. I have already separated my polishes into different containers. A container for colors that I have not swatched and a container for swatched colors.

You may ask 'how will you pick the random colors'. I'm literally going to close my eyes and pick!!

I would like your feedback. Is this a good idea or should I scrape it and come up with something else?

I picked two polishes today. The first is Milani Hi-Res from the 3-D Holographic collection. This is a purple base with all sorts of micro-glitter/shimmer colors. I find this polish is on the sheer side so I had to use four coats. Even sheer it was still easy to work with. I was pleasantly surprised by this color. In the bottle I didn't think I was going to like it. On my nails though it is awesome.

Next we have Milani Cyberspace, also from the 3-D Holographic collection. Again this was a sheer polish so I had to use four coats. Way better looking on my nails that in the bottle, just like Hi-Res.

Sorry for so many pictures but I felt it was necessary to capture all of the shimmer and different colors. I hope everyone likes the new theme!

I'm Alive!!

Ok guys, sorry for the delay in posts. I did this little thing a few weeks ago...ya know getting married:) I was in Las Vegas for a week and it was wonderful. I've been back for two weeks but I got sick and was trying to get thank you notes done. Being a nail nut, I definitely searched for brands in Vegas that little Iowa does not have.

This beauty I have right here is Essence Can't Cheat On Me. It's a great holographic silver.


With the Essence bottles being on the smaller side I was worried about the brush being dinky and just crappy. Nope! The bristles were wonderful. It kind of reminded me of OPI pro brush.
Here's my problem. I want more! Ulta only has a small selection and its the Color and Go. Does anyone know where I can get some of their other polishes? I know they have nail art and also the magnetic polish. I would owe you a big one.

Just want to say that I am looking forward to the fall colors. Its going to be a awesome season!!

Until next time,
Don't spill you polish:)
