DIFFERENT dimension Nevermore: Swatch and Review

DIFFERENT dimension Nevermore: Swatch and Review 

*Purchased by Me*

Happy Humpday! Today, I have a polish from DIFFERENT dimension to share with you! If you've been around here (or around my Instagram) for a bit, it's no surprise to you how much I adore Missi and her brand. Well, this baby right here is no different! This is Nevermore:

Nevermore was a part of the Poe. collection that was released for Halloween 2016. It is described on the site as a black linear holographic polish with added orange shimmers and orange microglitters. Now, I love black polish in all shapes and sizes. But Missi took that love to another level; the added orange microglitters made this so multidimensional and unique, I didn't take this off for days! I was able to get Nevermore opaque in just two coats; however, because of the added microglitters, it was a tad bit bumpy, requiring two coats of glossy top coat to smooth it out. Other than that, though, there were absolutely no issues with this polish! 

DIFFERENT dimension Nevermore is still currently available on the website, and it costs $12.00 for a full-sized 15 mL bottle; you can find the listing for it right here!

DIFFERENT dimension International Space Station: Swatch and Review

DIFFERENT dimension International Space Station: Swatch and Review

*Purchased by Me*

Happy Saturday!! I have lots of swatches on my computer to share with you, so I hope that I will be able to write them up in a good amount of time and have them posted! Tonight, I am sharing a polish from DIFFERENT dimension with you, named International Space Station (ISS, for short). 

ISS was a part of Missi's Cosmologically Speaking Part 3 collection. It is described on the website as a medium teal with scattered holographic effect. While this beauty is holographic, it is also chock full of flakies, which adds even more dimension! I was able to get it opaque in three thin coats, and it dried quickly and smoothly; shown is with glossy top coat, under a daylight bulb. This was a tiny bit difficult to remove, because of the flakes, but a bit of rubbing with an acetone-soaked piece of craft felt makes it easier! 

DIFFERENT dimension's International Space Station (ISS) is still currently available, and it costs $10.00 for a full-sized, 15 mL bottle; you can find the listing for it right here!

Leesha's Lacquer Fruity O's Cereal: Swatch and Review

Leesha's Lacquer Fruity O's Cereal: Swatch and Review 

*Purchased by Me*

Happy Saturday!! Today, I am sharing a polish from a brand that I was introduced to at Polish Con in Chicago. This new-to-me brand is Leesha's Lacquer! Alicia is the creative genius behind the brand, and she is a total sweetheart. Her brand began in 2013, and she creates some gorgeous glitters, flakies, jellies, crellies, and thermals; I am always drooling over the swatches that I see! I have some polishes in addition to the one presented in this post, and will have some up in the coming weeks! For now, let's get to today's post! 

The polish that I'm sharing with you is called Fruity O's Cereal. This polish is totally adorable, and it is a white crelly base with multi-colored small glitters scattered throughout. I decided to use a white base in my swatch, in order to make the colors pop! Shown are two coats over two coats of Lou It Yourself's Light Matter; everything is sealed in with one layer of glossy top coat. Fruity O's Cereal applied very smoothly and evenly, and I did not have to fish for any glitter, nor did I have to overly-manipulate their placement. 

You can find the listing for Fruity O's Cereal right here! The cost is $4.00 for a 5 mL mini, or $8.00 for a full-sized 15 mL bottle.

Tonic Polish Enchanted Elixir: Swatch and Review

*Purchased by Me*

Happy Saturday! I should have a bit more time for blogging for a while, now; I officially finished submitting my materials for doctorate programs! Woo-hoo! 

Today, I am sharing a color from Tonic Polish with you! Tonic is quickly becoming another one of my favorite brands, and one from which I covet Every. Single. Color. 

The beauty that I have to share with you today is one that I picked up while I was at Polish Con in Chicago, and it is named Enchanted Elixir. Enchanted Elixir is described as a navy jelly base with strong pink/gold/green shifting multichrome shimmer and holographic gold microglitters. I was seriously "Oohing" and "Aahing" every second while I was applying this, and couldn't stop staring at it the entire time that I was wearing it! I was able to get it opaque in two coats, and it dried quickly and smoothly. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat, under artificial daylight. 

Isn't it stunning?? You can find and pick up Tonic Polish Enchanted Elixir in Lindsey's shop right here. And, BONUS: Her new Holiday collection releases tomorrow, Sunday, December 4th, so you can pick up EVEN MORE!! Enjoy!!

Ever After Polish The Wicked Collection (Part One): Swatches and Review

Ever After Polish The Wicked Collection (Part One): Swatches and Review

*Purchased by Me*

Hello, there! Today, I am sharing part of one of Ever After's newest collections with you: The Wicked Collection! Yep, that's right; this collection is based off of the play Wicked! Now, I've never seen it, but it is most definitely on my bucket list! 

The Wicked Collection is made up of 6 polishes, and I will be showing you three today, and three later on. To avoid being repetitive, each of these three polishes was smooth and easy to apply, had a quick dry time, and dried glossy. Each color is shown with two coats for full opacity, plus one layer of glossy top coat. Let's get to it! 

Ever After Polish Fly My Pretties, Fly

The first color that I'm showing you is Fly My Pretties, Fly. This is described on the Ever After site as a deep chocolate leaning plum with blue to purple crystal flakes with blue to purple shimmers. It is available here, and the cost is $10.50 for a full-sized 13.5 mL bottle.

I also added some stamping on top of Fly My Pretties, Fly!  This image is from a plate by UR Beautiful, and I used white Konad polish to stamp. 

Ever After Polish Defying Gravity

Next up is Defying Gravity! Defying Gravity is described on Ever After's site as a black jelly with green and purple shimmers and flecks with scattered holo sparkle. It is available right here, and the cost is $10.00 for a full-sized 13.5 mL bottle. 

I chose another image from UR Beautiful to stamp on top of Defying Gravity, and again used white Konad polish. 

Ever After Polish The Emerald City

The third color that I have to share with you today is The Emerald City. The Emerald City is described as a deep emerald green with silver shimmer. This may just be my favorite out of the three colors that I'm showing you today! You can find The Emerald City right here, and the cost is $10.50 for a full-sized 13.5 mL bottle. 

I again chose an image from UR Beautiful, and stamped with white Konad polish. I think that this is also my favorite image out of the three! 

So, what's your favorite out of these three polishes? As I said above, my top one is going to have to be The Emerald City. I'll be back soon with the other half of The Wicked Collection!

Lollipop Posse Lacquer I Felt You Like Electric Light: Swatch and Review

Lollipop Posse Lacquer I Felt You Like Electric Light: Swatch and Review

*Purchased by Me*

Welcome to the weekend! Today, I'm sharing a color from Lollipop Posse Lacquer with you, which I picked up at Polish Con. I only own a few polishes from LPL, but let me tell you; they are all AMAZING! That, and Karen, the maker, is an absolute sweetheart! 

Let's get to the polish!

Lollipop Posse Lacquer's I Felt You Like Electric Light is a part of Karen's Summer of '96 Collection. It is described as a duochrome linear holographic that also suspends holographic microflakies. The blue base contains a cyan to blue to purple shift. You might also catch a hint of copper in the shift! 

I Felt You Like Electric Light is so multi-dimensional, and all of the components mesh so well with each other! I was oohing and aahing from the second I picked up the bottle, and couldn't wait to apply it! It applied smoothly and evenly, and became fully opaque in two easy coats. It dried smooth, and was fully dry in about 3 minutes. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat, under a daylight bulb. 

You can find I Felt You Like Electric Light right here; it costs $12.00 for a full-sized 12 oz. bottle.

Polish Con Event Polishes by Tonic Polish: Swatches and Review

Polish Con Event Polishes by Tonic Polish: Swatches and Review

*Purchased by Me*

I have some of my first Polish Con colors to show you! These colors are from Tonic Polish, a fairly new indie brand who has been on my radar for a bit. Well, when I saw that Lindsey (the maker of Tonic Polish) would be at Polish Con, I knew that I had to pick some up! These two colors are ones that she created for the event. Let's take a look! 

Tonic Polish Windy City

Tonic Polish Windy City is described as a medium royal blue base with intense pink shimmer, pink/gold/green shifting flakes, and silver holo micro glitters. The formula on Windy City was impeccable, and was fully opaque in three thin coats. It dried quickly between coats, and dried down smooth. Shown is with one layer of glossy top coat. 

Tonic Polish Windy City is available here; the cost is $12.00 for a full-size 15 mL bottle. 

Tonic Polish Polish Con or Bust! 2016

The second polish that debuted at Polish Con was Polish Con or Bust! 2016. This is described on Tonic's website as a raspberry jelly base with glowing royal blue multi chrome shimmer that shifts to vivid orangey-red at an angle and holo micro glitters. I was able to get this opaque in two medium coats. Dry time was wonderful as well, and it dried smooth and glossy. Shown is with one layer of topcoat!

Tonic Polish Polish Con or Bust! 2016 is available here; the cost is $13.00 for a full-size 15 mL bottle. 

These two colors are available for a limited time, until the end of October. However, Lindsey just released her Fall and Halloween colors, and they are absolutely stunning! Also available are some of her other core colors. 

This was my first encounter with Lindsey and her brand, and I am absolutely smitten. I have more of her polishes from Polish Con that I will be swatching and reviewing, and I can't wait to pick up some more colors in the future! If you're on the edge and still deciding whether or not you want to try these, I would say to go for it!

Lovely Layering featuring Julie G and Colors by Llarowe

Lovely Layering featuring Julie G and Colors by Llarowe

*Purchased by Me*

Happy Friday! As you can see, I have a layering post for you today! I recently picked up a couple of polishes from Colors by Llarowe (my first from her!) when she refilled the clearance section on her site; there were two beautiful flakie toppers that caught my eye, and I snatched them right up! I am sharing one of these with you today. 

For the base of this layering combo, I chose to use Julie G Cabana Boy. Cabana Boy is said to be a dupe for the now discontinued original formula Sally Hansen Pacific Blue; I have both, and it is a pretty close match! Julie G Cabana Boy is a cornflower blue creme, and it applies smoothly and evenly, and dries glossy. I was able to get it opaque in two easy coats. You can find Julie G polishes online on the Jesse's Girl website, or in Rite Aid stores; they are super affordable, and usually cost $3.99 for a 10 mL bottle. 

After my two coats of Cabana Boy dried, I applied one layer of Colors by Llarowe (CBL) Jackie. Jackie is described as a clear based blue to green flake. The formula on Jackie was very smooth and easy to apply, and required absolutely no fishing for the high density payoff of flakies that I received. All of the flakes laid flat, and it dried smoothly and quickly. Shown is with an additional layer of glossy top coat! CBL Jackie is still available on the Colors by Llarowe website, and it is on sale for $5.00 for a 12 mL bottle.

I will most certainly be keeping an eye on upcoming CBL polishes, and hope to soon be able to try out some of her holos; they look divine!
