More SHIMMER Bombs!

7 comments  
I absolutely love all of Cindy's creation! They are amazing and they make my nails feel like a treasure chest!

 
Shimmer Melissa

 Shimmer Natalie

Both of these Shimmers applied perfectly and covered in 2 beautiful coats. The one thing I do need to tell you is that these polishes requires a few top coats. Shown above are 2 coats of SV and you can tell, it can use another. All in all, the payoff for both polishes are amazing! I totally recommend these!

You can find Shimmer polishes here on her Etsy shop.

What do you think? In need of some Shimmers now?

Darling Diva Care Bear (especially) for a Crow

7 comments  
This one truly deserves it's own post because it is so special!

Carrie from Darling Diva Polish made this especially for Lauri from CrowsToes. So the story goes like this: "Once upon a time there was a woman who didn't like Care Bears. So I made a polish for her:) hehehehe;)"


This one is seriously to die for. It's so different nothing like anything else I have ever swatched or own. It has a compilation of various colored hearts and flowers in a clear purple/blue shimmer base along with a scattering of black glitters for a lovely crow.

This polish is amazing! It's a bit sparse but I had not a single problem with the larger glitters. 2 smooth coats and the application was like butter! I love it so much!

The first time I used this, I used a creme blue polish but when I took the photos it really washed out the purpl'ish-blue shimmers, so I hope this super sheer jelly-wash blue gave you a better idea of how it really looks like.

Carrie, you did an amazing job! Lauri, what do you think?

How about you? Is this for you?

JENsations Pot o' Gold

4 comments  
I absolutely love all of Jen's creations! Especially the bottle shapes! They are so darling cute! If you haven't already seen the first one that I posted, you can check it out here.


 

Pot 'o Gold is amazing! My pictures seriously do no justice. It's a gold holo top coater. It has so many different glitters from bar, heart, starts and hex glitters of many sizes. This is one coat over Essie Madison Hue-avenue. I could've done another coat but I feel like the coverage was pretty good for 1 coat.

I seriously love her polishes and I really recommend these. 

You can find JENsations here at her Etsy shop. Her polishes range from $8- $8.25. And she has a huge variety of different polishes!

Twinsie Tuesday: Ruffian

8 comments  
I know my post is late. I didn't feel too well yesterday but, on the bright side, my post is finally here!

As you all have already seen my Twinsies' posts for today, you already know the challenge. So let's get to it!

 

I absolutely love a grey and pink combo. Unfortunately for reason, this is turning out to be much more orange than it pink. So after this, I am going to read my entire camera manual. 

For the grey I used Sally Hansen Wet Cement and Wet n Wild Candylicious. Did I forget to mention this is probably one of my least favorite kind of mani?

Well off to some reading I go!

The Polish Bar Review

9 comments  
Again, I am so lucky to have been able to review another indie brand, The Polish Bar.

Janice is such a sweetheart and went out of her way to send these to me. So here, I bring you 3 of her lovelies!



2 coats of Shirley


2 coats of Butterfly Kisses

2 coats of Midnight Falls

Midnight Falls has definitely got to be my favorite out of the bunch. I wish I would've used a different base instead of black so you were able to see the black glitters in the black jelly base (or maybe, I should save that for another special day?)

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised to with these and really enjoyed them. I did find it a bit hard to polish on because the brush was a bit tiny and the glitter in the suspension base was a bit sparse. But I am sure with a regular sized bottle, the application would be perfect! Despite the sub-par application, I think these are lovely and would highly recommend them. And I think I might just purchase some of her goodies for myself!

You can find The Polish Bar polishes at Janice's shop here. Most of her polishes range from $8.50 and she has got a variety of different lovely polishes!

JENsations Winter Wonderland

5 comments  
This one deserves a special post of it's own.

I have seen her polishes around and have been lucky enough to review some! So here it is for you today, JENsations Winter Wonderland.



This is Winter Wonderland 1 coat over 2 coats of NOPI Nothing Kim-pares to Blue.

First things first, are Jen's star bottles not the cutest thing ever or what? And I admit, I absolutely adore this! Here in the Minnesota weather with about 3 feet of snow, this is totally Winter Wonderland. The iridescent glitter is just amazing! And the snowflakes, just a little bit of fishing but she included a little baggy of snowflakes! Isn't that awesome?!

Now looking back at this, I wish I had put more snowflakes but I seriously love this. Next time I have got to swatch it over black!

You can find JENsations here at her Etsy shop. Her polishes range from $8- $8.25. And she has a huge variety of different polishes!

Have you tried any JENsations yet?

Twinsie Tuesday: Stripes or Polka Dots

15 comments  
I have been having problems with Blogger all day, so please excuse my tardiness.

This weeks theme is either stripes or polka dots, and I choose to do polka dots because I felt like it.


I seriously don't know why my camera is fuzzing up.

Anywho, I felt like doing light colors for this mani, soft pastel colors.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this!

Anna
