Vivid Lacquer

Sat, 06 Oct 2012 18:04:13 -0700

Today I have three gorgeous polishes from Vivid Lacquer!

First up I have Autumn Harvest.

This polish is full of purple, yellow, red and orange square and hex glitter. The combination of the glitter in this polish is amazing! They complement each other so well. I decided to layer it over OPI Did It On Em. I love this combo, it is funky and I will be wearing it often!

Now we have Waning Gibbous. This is a royal blue jelly loaded with purple blue and silver glitter! The picture is two coats of Waning Gibbous layered over OPI Yodel Me On My Cell.

And last we have my personal favorite.

I am a sucker for glitter in white polish. This is Fairy Bread! It has a bunch of different size hex glitter in a ton of colors. It reminds me of eating funfetti cupcakes!!! The photo above is 3 coats of Fairy Bread all on its own.

Make sure to check out Vivid Lacquer’s facebook and Etsy!

Llama Lacquers!

Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:02:30 -0700

I have the Llama Lacquers Princess Bride collection for all of you tonight!

First up I have The Mani in Black. Love the sillyness behind that name.

This is one coat of The Mani in Black. The Mani in Black is a sheer black base polish PACKED with black glitter! The sheer black base goes on great but the glitter doesnt go on as evenly as I wanted it to, but it dries fast and smooth. :)

’Nothing gave Buttercup as much pleasure as ordering Westley around.’

This is Princess Buttercup! It is a sheet polish packed with teeny tiny yellow glitter and yellow flowers! The only complaint I have with this is that I had to fish the flowers out. :(

So I couldnt decide what color to wear this over so I tried a few, left to right, one coat of OPI Pedal Faster Suzi, one coat of Memo’s Mind Opalescence, and the last two finger have two coats of Sally Hansen Sheer Me Now. I love it best over Opalescence.

‘ Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. ’

And this slighlty odd polish is called Hello, My Name Indigo. This a weird polish that I have never seen before. Honestly I didnt really know how to tackle it, so it might not look the best. It is filled with these really tiny purple glitters and gold bar glitter. So above I have one coat over white and then two coats on its own and then one coat. It is very weird and not in a bad way.

‘They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.’

Here we have Iocane Powder. My second favorite of the bunch, this is a pearly white base with red bar glitter in it! AND I LOVE IT! It is a great color combo and formula. The polish went on so smoothly and almost no glitter curling! In the above picture I have two coats on each finger!

‘That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying “As you wish”, what he meant was, “I love you.” And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back. ’

This by far my favorite of this collection! As You Wish is a very sheer light pink that looks lovely. Then it is filled with baby blue hex glitter and bright pink hearts!!! It is a perfect fit for the name. So from left to right we have one coat of OPI Pedal Faster Suzi, one coat of Memo’s Mind Opalescence, one coat of Sally Hansen Sheer Me Now and then one coat of As You Wish all by its lonesome! And it looks gorgeous! Make sure to check out Llama Lacquers! She has some awesome ones up for Halloween as well.

Llama Lacquer is made by Crazy Nail Lady check out her blog and facebook

A look in to Memo's Mind

Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:40:00 -0700

Look at the lovely goodies I got from Memo’s Mind! A cute little string doll that I immedaitly attached to my key chain. And the polish above is Robins Egg Glitter, Opalescence, and Witch’s Breath.

Opalescence by itself is so gorgeous and applies smoothly. And it has a scent that reminds me of apple in all the right ways!!!

Robins Egg Glitter over Opalescence This glitter is gorgeous! The mix of big orange and blue hexes as well as smaller glitter, it makes an excellent combo!!! And last but not least.

We have Witches Breath. It is a black/purple jelly filled with purple, silver and black glitter. It is totally awesome. I encourage you to go check out her etsy and see her other creations as well.

Candied Apples. Om nom!

Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:33:38 -0700

Some more polishes from my favorite indie maker Lacey Lou’s Nail Stockpile!

She sent me two more of her amazing scented polishes! I dont know how this girl does it!!!

First up I have Magic Apple. It is a gorgeous sheer green polish packed full of gorgeous glitter!

This is two coats of Magic Apple over one coat of butter LONDON Dosh. And I always use Lacey Lou’s Veil Top coat, it makes her polish look amazing!

And then we have Candied!

It is a sheer red polish larger silver glitter in it. These polishes can be worn alone but smell amazing when worn together! I wanted to make my nails look like I dipped them into a candy coating. I have to say worn alone Magic Apple is my favorite, but Candied also smells good. Lacey sells these polish as a duo! You can find it here!

My Nails Look Like Disco Balls!!!

Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:23:57 -0700

I have some lovely polishes from Different Dimension for you today!!

First up we have one of their Halloween polishes!

Ectoplasm has an awesome mix of black and green glitter. In this picture I have layered it over one coat of Sally Hansen Midnight Sky and guess what else?!

IT FUCKING GLOWS IN THE DARK!!!

This picture belongs to Different Dimension.

At first I wasnt able to get this polish to glow, not for the life of me, so I asked of course and she told me just to shake the bottle really good and that it is charged by light. I decided to leave it on my window sill and soak up the sun! And it glowed! It was so awesome. Unfortunately I could not get a picture of it. The light on my iPhone kept over powering it. But it looks like the picture above.

But I have to say that this next one is my favorite of the two.

This is Different Dimension Space Camp! It looks like a disco ball!!!!! This picture is one coat, only one coat and all the sparkle!, over two coats of China Glaze Grape Juice.

Here it is from another angle, honestly guys I have never owned a glitter polish that is as holographic as this. And there is no way to capture the awesomeness that Space Camp is, it is just AWESOME! I have already recommended it to all of my friends!

And Different Dimension has made it one step easier for you to get your hands on your own bottle.

There are some awesome QR codes on the back, you can download free QR apps on any smart phone and once you scan it your phone takes you right to her etsy store! What an awesome idea! You can even scan the picture above and it will send you right to her etsy on your phone. It rocks! But I will give you the link to her facebook and etsy below. And keep an eye on my facebook, I will be having indie polish giveaways all month including some from Different Dimension. https://www.facebook.com/AdventuresAndMishapsInTheLandOfNailPolish

And one more treat for all of you! Different Dimension gave me a coupon code for 20% off your entire purchase!!! Just enter ADVENTURE20 at checkout!!! That is an amazing deal and I strongly recommend that you take advantage of it.

I feel like Aurora is always a forgotten princess.

Sun, 09 Sep 2012 19:56:28 -0700

I have a beautiful polish from 2Chix Lacquer’s princess collection. This one is based on Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. This polish is called True Loves Kiss and it is made up of purple, pink and gold glitters! It is so gorgeous and the weird thing is that it dried completely smooth. I’ve never had a glitter do that before.

So this swatch is two coats of True Loves Kiss over one coat of Cult Nails Enticing. The colors go together so well. I think it looks very romantic. :)

So I decided to try a few things with this polish. Can I just tell you again how much I love this glitter combo!!!

I decided to make a yummy jelly glitter sandwich! So again this is two coats of True Loves Kiss over one coat of Cult Nails Enticing and then another coat of Enticing on top. It really softens the glitter and looks more mellow.

And last but not least I decided to matte the glitter!!!! I know we all love some matte glitter!!!

So once again two coats of True Loves Kiss over one coat of Cult Nails Enticing and then a coat of Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.

This polish is gorgeous and 2Chix has so many amazing polishes!!! Make sure to check out their facebook and store! Your life will not be complete without at least one bottle of their polish!
