October 2016 Customs for Holo-Maniacs and Fantasmic Flakies: Swatches and Review

October 2016 Customs for Holo-Maniacs and Fantasmic Flakies: Swatches and Review

*Sent by makers for review*

Long time, no blog! I'm back today with the October 2016 customs that were created for both Holo-Maniacs and Fantasmic Flakies, two groups that I created on Facebook. Each month, we have two featured makers who create gorgeous polishes based off of member-submitted and voted inspiration pictures. Let's take a look at what we have for this month! 

Holo-Maniacs Customs for October 2016

Sassy Pants Polish Dark Opal (Holo-Maniacs Custom #8)

One of the brands for Holo-Maniacs is Sassy Pants Polish. Angie, the maker, created a dark purple jelly base polish with orange, purple, gold, and silver holo glitters, as well as copper metallic glitters. Dark Opal applied smoothly and evenly, and I did not need to fish for or over-manipulate any of the glitters. Shown are three thin coats for full opacity, plus one layer of glossy top coat and one layer of matte top coat.

Nail Hoot Lacquer Holo-Maniacs Custom #9

 

 

The second featured brand for Holo-Maniacs is Nail Hoot Lacquer! Brandie of Nail Hoot created a polish that is described as a deep red linear holo. Holo-Maniacs Custom #9 had an impeccable formula (it was my first polish from Nail Hoot), and I was able to get it opaque in two smooth coats. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat. 

Fantasmic Flakies Customs for October 2016

Lou It Yourself Trip the Lights Flaketastic 

Lou from Lou It Yourself created a deep but bright blue polish packed with glass fleck and purple flakies. The formula was nice and smooth, and it dried quickly to boot! Shown are three thin coats, plus one layer of glossy top coat and one layer of matte top coat. 

DIFFERENT dimension Raindrops on Roses 

The second maker for Fantasmic Flakies is Missi from DIFFERENT dimension, and she created two different polishes! The first is called Raindrops on Roses. 

DIFFERENT dimension Raindrops on Roses is described as a medium violet jelly with added shimmers to create a duochrome effect. Added multi-chrome and sterling silver flakies. As with all DD polishes that I own, this was opaque in three thin, easy coats. Dry time was great, both between coats and when completed. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat and one layer of matte top coat. 

DIFFERENT dimension Storms Don't Last Forever

The second of Missi's creations, Storms Don't Last Forever, is described as a violet to copper to gold multi-chrome polish with added multi-chrome flakies, shimmer, and holographic flakies. Shown are three thin, easy coats, plus one layer of glossy top coat and one layer of matte top coat.

Ever After Polish Polished Princesses Group Customs: Swatches and Review

Ever After Polish Polished Princesses Group Customs: Swatches and Review

*Purchased by Me*

Happy Sunday to you! Today, I'm sharing the most recent Facebook group customs that Rachel has created for the Ever After Polish group, Polished Princesses! This time, she decided to go a different route, and created polishes that were based off of comic book characters. I absolutely love the entire trio that she created, and of course, the formulas are amazing. Let's jump right in! 

Bad Deadpool...Good Deadpool

Color/Finish: Based off of Deadpool, this polish is described on the site as a dark navy blue base with blue to red chrome shift with red shimmer and scattered holo.

Formula/Application: Ever After Bad Deadpool...Good Deadpool had an AMAZING formula! Usually with shimmers like this, the formula is thin and requires about three coats. With this, the first coat appeared a bit thin, but it built up to be fully opaque in two easy coats. It applied smoothly and evenly, dried quickly, and dried shiny! Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat.

Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 hearts! I am a true purple polish lover at heart, and the blue and red in this polish makes it appear as purple. With this formula, I will be using it LOTS! And, as a Baltimore girl, I will have lots of time to wear it during Ravens season!

Availability: Ever After Polish Bad Deadpool...Good Deadpool is currently available on the site for $10.50 for a full size 13.5 mL bottle. You do have to be a member of the Polished Princesses Facebook group to purchase, and the link to the group can be found down below! 

I'm Vengeance, I'm the Night

Color/Finish: Based off of Batman, this polish is described on the site as a dark gray creamy base with gold flakes, gold sparkle, and holo.

Formula/Application: Ever After I'm Vengeance, I'm the Night applied like a dream. I used two coats for full opacity, and it applied smoothly and evenly, with no fishing required for the flakies. It dried smoothly and evenly, and dried down shiny. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat!

Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 hearts! This is the perfect shade of gray, and the I feel like the cold flakes are a great diversion from the usual silver or multichrome flakes. Add that holo in there, and I am a happy polish lover!

Availability: Ever After Polish I'm Vengeance, I'm the Night is currently available on the site for $10.50 for a full size 13.5 mL bottle. You do have to be a member of the Polished Princesses Facebook group to purchase, and the link to the group can be found down below! 

Burdened with Glorious Purpose

Color/Finish: Based off of Loki, this polish is described on the site as a deep pine green crelly base with gold flakes, gold sparkle, and linear holo.

Formula/Application: Ever After Burdened with Glorious Purpose was almost opaque in one coat; the only reason why I did two was because I still had some white space showing on the free edge of my nail. It applied smoothly and evenly, and no fishing for flakies was needed. It dried glossy on its own as well! Shown are two easy coats plus one layer of glossy top coat.

Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 hearts! This polish is so multi-dimensional, and it is the one that remained on my nails for a couple of days after swatching these. The formula is great, and it is a magnificent shade of green. I can't wait to wear this a lot during the Fall time!

Availability: Ever After Polish Burdened with Glorious Purpose is currently available on the site for $10.50 for a full size 13.5 mL bottle. You do have to be a member of the Polished Princesses Facebook group to purchase, and the link to the group can be found down below! 

I know that Rachel's favorite color is pink, but I am IN LOVE with the direction that she went with these group customs! They are nice and vampy, which are some of my favorite types of colors; hey, I love the Fall time, so they fit perfectly with that! I especially love the bottom labels of the polishes, which show the character that the polish is based off of. Rachel also created a "Mystery" polish to accompany this trio, based off of Wonder Woman. I will have a post on that one at a later time! Until then, be sure to join the Polished Princesses group on Facebook, in order to be able to pick up these beauties.
