Glam Polish - Mermagic

Press Sample

     

     I can't believe that I almost forgot to post this! I swatched this polish last week and fell in love. What's not to like about mermaids, circle glitter, and pastels? I layered this over a light and a dark base to show off the versatility. Don't miss out on all the details after the jump!

Lynnderella - Punkkin Pie

     Hey, babes! I just wanted to do a quick post to share my Thanksgiving manicure. I went with something quick and easy since I'll be in the kitchen all day Wednesday and Thursday. I'm cooking a full dinner for 6 from scratch. Wednesday is all my prep work and desserts, plus I still need to run to the store for a few last minutes ingredients. Thanksgiving is so stressful because I have to do into Super Woman mode.

Glam Polish - Maleficent

    Glam Polish has really been killing it lately. This beauty is part of the A Touch of Magic trio. Maleficent is the self proclaimed "Mistress of Evil" but this polish is anything but evil.

Glam Polish - Frankenslime

Press Sample

     Nothing's better than coming home from a long day at work to find a package on your doorstep. Today, I found three bottles of Glam Polish from Color4Nails! As soon as I opened the package, I couldn't wait to get them on my nails. I've been wearing a lot of purples lately, so I decided to try Frankenslime first. This polish is part of the Graveyard Ghouls Trio. While it was released for Halloween, it's easily an all the time just for the fun of it color.

This collection contains eleven perfect polishes: five glitter toppers, one glitter crelly, one glitter jelly, one shimmer matte, one holo top coat, and two holos.

Glam Polish - Pacman and Candyland

Press Sample

    Glam Polish is an Australian indie polish available from US stockist Color4Nails. These are my first from the brand and I'm really excited to share them with all of you! Pacman and Candyland are part of the Fun & Game collection. These bright polishes are just what I needed after dreary October weather. It's been cold and rainy for over a week.

Penelope Luz - Belly Dance and Modern Art

Press Sample

         Hey, babes! Sorry for the lack of posts. First, I was busy with work and dealing with a sick boyfriend. Then, I got a cold. I've been in bed for the past few days. With naked nails! I know, I know. I actually did my nails for tomorrow's nail art challenge and I can't wait to share them. I was clearing out pictures on my laptop when I came across these two Penelope Luz polishes. I can't believe I forgot them!

         Penelope Luz is a 3 free Brazilian indie polish. I've been eying up a few of her polishes, but never bought them because they weren't readily available in the US. Until now! Color4Nails makes indie shopping so much easier.

Esmaltes Da Kelly - Phoenix and My Heart Was Stolen

Press Sample

        Esmaltes Da Kelly is a Brazilian indie polish line by Kelly Christina. These polishes come in adorable  little 8mL bottles with a bow attached to the handle. I'm a sucker for cute packaging. Between the labels and bows, I was in love with these before I even painted my nails. I have two EDKs to share with you today. As always, all the good stuff is after the jump.

Vermelho Marcia Lima - Dorothy Shoes and Pink Pop

Press Sample

    Yet again, I have another new indie polish to share. Vermelho Acessories Esmaltes is a Brazilian indie polish by Marcia Lima.  I've seen a few of Marcia Lima's polishes on Instagram and even have a few on my wishlist. When I received these two, I couldn't have been happier to try them. Her glitter polishes are outstanding. I must admit I spent a little longer staring at the bottles than I should have. I couldn't help myself. They're gorgeous.

Check out the full review and lots of great pictures after the cut.

Liquid Lacquer - Blurple Nurple

     Oh, just another Liquid Lacquer post. I can't get enough of Melissa's creations! This beauty is called Blurple Nurple; a blue and purple glitter mix. I've been wearing "boring" colors lately and needed something bright and sparkly. This sure hit the spot since I've been in a rut. I broke down and bought a Helmer this weekend. I don't know what took me so long! It was a breeze to build and holds my polish much nicer than the storage cubes I bought at Michael's. Between work and sorting my polish, I've been pretty busy.

Mixed Manicure - Nude and Black

      This manicure is something different for me. I've seen tons of mixed manicures, aka kitchen sink manis, all over Instagram and Pinterest, but have never tried one myself. I recently received a few things from KK Center HK for review purposes and had to put them to the test. This manicure combines fun, elegance, and neutrals. 

Some products were sent for review.

Polish Addict Nail Color - American Beautiful

          Tonight's post is the first of four Polish Addict polishes I have to share with you. Polish Addict was created back in August 2012 by polish friends Laura and Crystal.

Plump Polish - Kyla the Great & Riots Not Diets

         I'm excited to share this new indie polish brand with you! Plump Polish, not to be confused with my blog name, combines a few of my favorite things: polish, glitter, body positivity, femme power, and babes. That sounds like a good time to me. Plump creators Kyla and Margitte were kind enough to send me two polishes to review.  They officially launched their line on April 2nd and currently have a few bottles left of each of the two polishes on today's post.

"Plump is the luscious and glittery indie polish baby of two fat femmes who love doing their nails and spreading body positivity across the internet."

Plump is 3 free, cruelty free, and hand mixed in small batches.

Lynnderella - Blue Rogue

      I feel like I haven't worn a Lynnderella in ages; I've been dreaming about this combination for months. I received an order of Lynns and my OPI Euro Centrale collection on the same day. As soon as I opened the packages, I knew this duo was made for each other. Blue Rogue and OPI You're Such a Budapest are perfect together.

Lumina Lacquer - Camouflage

          I have another beauty from Lumina Lacquer. During Tatiana's last restock, I had to pick this up. I love green glitter, and this is just packed with it. I tried this over two completely colors. For the life of me, I couldn't get a clear bottle shot. I ordered a macro lens last night, so I hope it works well. Here's what I came up with...

Liquid Lacquer - Collide Into You

          Today's post features an indie polish created by a lovely lady I've come to know through the polish community on Facebook. Liquid Lacquer recently had a restock in the Big Cartel shop. There are new glitter toppers, new holos, and glitter polishes. I had to restrain myself from buying too many at once. My top pick is Collide Into You.

Lush Lacquer - Clowning Around

          A few weeks ago, I won a Lush Lacquer giveaway on Facebook. I very rarely win anything, and was pretty excited about it. I won a polish of my choice from the new neon collections. There were some great glitter combos in milky bases, but I went with Clowning Around. I figured a clear base would give me more versatility.

Lynnderella: I Don't Mean Rhinestones

          Sorry about the lack of posts! I had several nails break shortly after my last post. I had to start fresh, and actually went without polish for a few days because nothing looked right on my teeny tiny nail beds. I started using Rejuvacote. Don't miss the naked nail pic at the end of this post. Today's nail of the day is a stunner!

I Don't Mean Rhinestones

one coat Essie Go Overboard

one coat IDMR

two coats Seche Vite

  

          I love this polish! IDMR applied smoothly and without any trouble at all. It's a gorgeous mix of teal hexes and holographic diamonds with a generous sprinkling of tiny turquoise holographic glitter.

          These pictures are in natural light and are after three days of wear. Yes, three days! I can hardly believe it myself. As you can see, there's just a tiny bit of tip wear. This is practically unheard of for me. I find that letting each coat dry completely before moving on really helps my glitter manicures staying power.

Lynnderella: Angel Food

          Pink shimmery glittery goodness. Lynnderella Angel Food is just that. After all the swatching I've done in the last few days, I needed a palette cleanser. Here's the result.
