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.

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.
