Hi guys! It's been a bit since my last posting. I have been battling a terrible cold. I finally have the energy to do something so i'm here with some awesome polishes to show you! I received four polishes from Femme Fatale Cosmetics. Today i'm going to show you two of the four and the other two will be up in a couple of days. 

The first of the two is called Lime Thief. It's a green based polish filled with teal, green, orange, and pink hex and circle glitter. This is two coats with a coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri to seal all that goodness in. :)

I had no problems with this polish. It applied well and wasn't to thick. I absolutely love this color! Normally I stay away from greens because I don't think they look good against my skin tone but this green might make me a believer! 

Next up is my favorite and my most hated at the same time! LOL! Winter Hyacinth is a blue based polish with silver and pink hex glitter, pink circle glitter, and silver diamond glitter. I was so excited to see this polish included because it has been on my wishlist forever! Take a look!

This is a beautiful polish but I had so much trouble with the application and trying not to get huge globs of glitter in one section of the nail. It also had SO much diamond glitter it got to the point that I was wiping the diamonds off the brush. Nevertheless I love this polish. It's beautiful. I always love blue and pink together so this was perfect for me. 

So now that you've seen both of these. Which is your favorite? 

Femme Fatale can be purchase here. It is an Australian brand so if you are ordering international it is recommended that you order with a group because shipping can be expensive. They also carry Enchanted, Emily De Molly, Alanna Renee, Gloss 'n Sparkle, Arcane Lacquer and a tons of other brands. 

You can also find Femme Fatale at Color4Nails, Ninja Polish and Harlow & Co.

I hope you guys enjoyed these polishes and I'll be back in a couple of days with the final 2.

Nelly Polish Review

Hi guys!! For todays post I have something pretty cool to show you! I was contacted by a lovely woman named Hilary who runs a UK based polish company named Nelly Polish. Now we all know that Royal Mail is VERY strict about the shipment of polish overseas. The majority of packages containing polish are destroyed and it has made getting polish from the UK very difficult. Hilary came up with an idea to sell dehydrated polish. Basically she sends you everything you need to make the polish all you do is add any clear nail polish and Voila! You've got polish.

Here is what Hilary has to say about the contents of the polish.

Your Nelly Mixture comes with exactly the right amount of pigment (natural mineral-based), suspension ingredient (to turn your light clear nail polish into a base capable of suspending nice chunky glitter without sinking) and, on the subject of glitter - all the glitters needed to create 10ml of your chosen Nelly Polish (along with the mixing balls to make the process easier).

And here is what the polish looks like before adding the clear polish.

You can also choose a cheaper option by just having the glitter and pigment shipped to you in a satchel. You would then provide the bottle and clear polish.

I used Kleancolor and Color Club clear polish. Hilary says any clear will work. I poured them until the bottle was about half full then I shook my little heart out! It's a bit of a workout lol. After that I poured until they got right under the neck of the bottle and shook some more. I don't know if I wasn't shaking hard enough or what but I did have some pigment stuck to the side of the bottle. I used a toothpick to get it off and continued to shake a bit. After a couple of minutes I had this.

Pretty cool right!? Here are the swatches.

Beeny is a pretty sky blue with orangish-red hex glitter. I used 3 coats for full opacity with a coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri for some shine!

Next up is Bodmin. It's a beautiful  blue in a jelly base full of gold hex glitter. 

 There is tons of gold glitter in the bottle but for some reason I wasn't getting much on my nails. I suspect it has to do with my shaking ability. LOL Nevertheless this was my favorite of the two.

I really do like this idea. It's perfect for getting around the Royal Mail Polish Ban and at $4.87 for the satchel and $7.30 for the bottle with dried polish its a very good deal. And of course if you live in the UK you can buy it ready made for $8.92. (All prices in USD) You can read more about Nelly Polish and buy from here.

So what do you think? Would you give dehydrated polish a try?

Ellagee Little Black Dress Swatch and Review

No compensation was received.

Hi guys!!!

Recently I placed an order to Ellagee and Laura was kind enough to throw one in for review. Very sweet of her right!? The polish is called Little Black Dress. And it is a stunner!

Blackberry colored with a silver shimmer Little Black Dress would be perfect for a night out on the town. This is two coats with a coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri.

This polish has been wearing great. I've had it on for almost a week with no chips or tip wear. Amazing! I never get tired of dark vampy polishes and this one is such a beautiful and unique color. All of her polish are 5 Free, Vegan friendly and cruelty free. Awesome right!?

 This polish is part of her Cocktail Hour Collection and retails at $9.00 for full size and $4.50 for a mini.

Side note. I LOVE when sellers offer minis! It gives me the opportunity to purchase more and saves room in my soon to be full Indie drawer! So kudos to all the makers out there who make minis!!

You can buy Ellagee here. and like her Facebook page here.

Have a lovely evening!

 Hi guys!!!

I am soooo excited for todays post! Roni sent me some amazing polish to review. I'm not even going to talk much. LOL! Lets just get to the pictures!


First up Vineyard. It's a beautiful plum colored Duochrome. It is part of Roni's limited fall collection along with four other colors.

I have to say I really like this color. Application was very nice. It took about 3 coats to build up opacity and I topped it off with a coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri. I don't have ANY duochromes in my collection. Crazy right!? I've just never been so into them. Sometimes they look really streaky. But Vineyard doesn't. I might become a duochrome fan after all! :) These retail for $10.00 and you can buy the full collection for $45.00. As I mentioned before this is a limited edition collection. Only 15 bottles of each color were made so if you want one you better grab it fast! 

The next polish I am absolutely obsessed with! It's called Full Moon its a light blue scattered holo that is stunning!

But then....turn off the lights! And look!

 

It GLOWS!!!!

Neat right!? This polish was a breeze to apply; it took three thin coats to obtain opacity with one coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri. It didn't take much to get the glow effect. In fact I didn't hold my hand up to a light or anything. As soon as it was dry enough I went to the bathroom and took a pic with just a sliver of light coming through. Then I decided to add some stripes to the accent nail, ran back into the bathroom and  shut the door completely to see how bright it really was and MAN was it bright! It lit up the bathroom!

I wasn't thrilled with my stripes but I plan on playing with this polish again and making some different designs. I also can't wait to go to work and show the kids. They are gonna love it! I don't believe this one is available quite yet but when it is I will update this post with the pricing.

As always Roni knocked my socks off. She really is a talented Indie maker and I am so happy to get to try out such cool polishes.

Have a lovely night!

Kb Shimmer Swatches

 Hi guys! Today I have a couple of Kb Shimmers to show you. These polishes came from her spring line I believe. First off the formula was great. It took 2 coats to get them opaque. They were a bit bumpy but nothing a coat of Seche couldn't handle. 

First up is Where My Peeps At. This is a gorgeous yellow milky base with pink, blue, green and yellow circle glitter and micro glitter.

Normally I hate yellow. But this is the perfect yellow for my skin tone!

The second polish I have is Iris My Case. This one is a purple milky base with pink, purple, blue, silver hexagon glitter.

Such a pretty purple. I really like both of these but Where My Peeps At is easily my favorite! 

 Enjoy your Sunday!

A England Swatches

Hi guys! For todays post I've decided to show a few of my A Englands. You can buy A England at Llarowe.com. There are TONS of colors and every single one of them is gorgeous!

First up Avalon.

 Avalon is a gorgeous Royal Purple with pink and blue shimmer. It's nearly impossible to get an accurate picture of this polish. It truely is even prettier in person.

 

Next up is Order Of The Garter. This polish is a bright shimmery blue. It is so pretty!

This was completely opaque in two coats and applied beautifully. 

Finally my favorite of the three... Tristam! This is a beautiful dark purple holo shimmer. 

I love this dark and vampy polish. I was so sad I had to take this off but, I will be putting this back on soon!

So now that you've seen the three. Which one was your favorite?

Whimsy Swatchathon!

Hi guys!!

For todays post I'm going to be swatching a reviewing all of my Whimsical Nail Polish By Pam collection. It's not a huge collection yet but I've realized that I really love her polishes and I want MORE! So lets get to it!

Here's my little collection. 

First up.. Super Hero!

I layered layered Superhero over two layers of NYC Midtown Mimosa. Super Hero is loaded with yellow and blue hexagon glitter and red stars. I had to do a little big of digging to get the stars out which was slightly annoying but other than that I had no prooblems.

Next is  I <3 NY. I applied this one over Sally Hansen Eel Skin. This one is full of white circle glitter and red hearts. Again I had to do some fishing to get the hearts out but it wasn't to bad.

Just Add Milk is a brown crelly loaded with brown hexagon glitter. I LOVE this polish. It reminds me of milk and cookies. I love it. I think it looks so flattering with my skin tone. This is two coats with one coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri

This is Cookie Monster. Cookie monster is loaded with blue and black hexagon and circle glitter. Here I have it layered over Kleancolor White. This was one of the fist polishes to go on my wishlist. I have been in love with it since the first time I saw it.

 Last up is Seuss! This is such a gorgeous polish. This polish has a blue base filled with red and silver hexagon glitter. This polish built up nicely it only took 2 coats and it was fully opaque.

Thats all for the Whimsy Swatches. I cannot wait to add even more to my collection! Pam makes some amazing polishes!

Ciao!

Lime Crime Swatches

Hi guys!!

I am so excited for todays post! A couple of months ago I received four polishes from Lime Crimes Les Desserts d'Antoinette Collection. These polishes have been a HUGE lemming ever since I started getting into polish. I cannot tell you how excited I was to get these in my swap package. I literally screamed! LOL

First up Peaches & Cream

Peaches & Cream is a bright peach creme. It applied a bit sheer but after two layers it was good.This is two coats with a coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri.

Lavendairy is a beautiful purple creme. This was easily my favorite of the four. It would be great as an undie. This is two coats with a coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri.

Once In A Blue Mousse is a pretty pastel blue. It reminds me of China Glaze For Audrey but it's a bit lighter. This is two coats with a coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri.

 

Finally Pastelchio is a bright pastel green. This was my least favorite of the bunch I just don't think it goes well with my skin tone. This is two coats with one coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri.

Overall I adore these polishes the green really isn't my shade but I don't mind it to much. 

Have a lovely Saturday!
