This lovely white base with glitter polish is called 'Burn Book'. White polishes with glitters are super popular right now! She did amazing. Red, black, and white are honestly my favorite color combo. My room is decorated those 3 colors!

This heavenly beauty is called 'Laffy Taffy'..um..AH-FREAKING-MAZING! It's a glittery pink base with all different colors of different shaped glitters. AHHH. LOVVVVE this! So girly! PERFECT!

macro shot. look at this. breath taking..isn't it?? the small glitters are teals, yellows, purples, oranges,  medium multicolored glitters, and large square and round teal, pink, and purple glitters. JUST a big fabulous mix of everything. This is only 2 coats. AH. look at that shimmer. <3



This pretty thing is 'Winter Mint'..this is 3 coats. It would be great over a pale green or blue as well. It has chunks of iridescent flakies. So pretty!

tiny hex and square iridescent glitters. faaaaabuloussss!!
 
 
And THIS fun glitter is 'Holo Christmas Lights' <3 over OPI 'Happy Anniversary'
A fantastic mix of small multi colored glitter..yellows, blues, reds, greens, & oranges. Theres also tiny holo glitters in the base. Soooo beautiful. Put this over green polish and instant Christmas Tree!

I wanted to do a blog on some FABULOUS indie polishes I have received lately. :) Frankenstine Polish...and a couple lovelies from Delusional Polish :)
 
First up are a few beauties from the wonderful Christine of Frankenstine Polish, her Star Wars collection

L to R: Yoda, Darth Vadar, Stormtrooper, & R2D2
 
First pics are of 'Yoda'..a gorgeous shimmery pale green polish with tiny green glitters and white bar glitter. I used 2 coats for the pics, it was pretty with just one coat though. It applied like a dream!
 It went on smoothly and I didn't have to fish for any of the glitters. This is Yoda, perfectly :)
 
 
Next pics are of 'Darth Vadar' -- this brown beauty has holo glitter & I wiiiish I could have capture the beautiful holo effect it has. I used 2 coats for these pictures, but one coat was a gorgeous sheer brown holo, which I loved :)
In the collage I have a macro shot & an off focus shot to try and show the rainbowed holo effect :)
 
 
This pretty glitter is 'Stormtrooper' :) [I layered it over China Glaze 'Frostbite']
It's a mix of small square white glitters, large hex white glitters, and medium black hex glitters :) beautiful!
 
 
& lastly, my favorite of the collection, 'R2D2' <3 [I put it over China Glaze 'Elephant Walk']
'R2D2' is a beeeeeeeeeeeautiful mix of tiny red and blue glitters, small white square glitters and large blue hex glitters. ahhh :) It's so pretty! This would make a great patriotic glitter as well! :)

Already Ready for Christmas.

Welp,

    Halloween is over && it's November now. I always bypass decorating for Thanksgiving and shoot right at Christmas manis.

I'm trying to withstand it...for a couple weeks anyway. Next week, the Christmas manis will be seeping out. Fair warning haha.
Right now, I'm just wearing 'Cherubic' by Color Club, from their new Halo Hues line.
If you haven't bought these holographic polishes...you are missing OUTTTTT. They are soooo holographic, even without sunlight or a flash on your camera. I just stare at them all day long!
The Color Club website has them for $10, but I ordered these at transdesign.com for $6.95!
 

I bought all but the green since I have a Nubar holo polish that looks really close...plus I'm not a green polish person. :) Except at Christmas ;)
This is what I'm currently wearing...this was snapped with no flash, just under the desk lamp...look at that holo goodness! This holo's name is 'Cherubic' :)

This beautiful mani is Color Club's 'Harp on it' and the amazing glitter on top of it is Delusional Polish's 'Jester'. It's a beautful bright blue glitters with big hex black glitters and tiny reds and blacks thrown in there. I lovvvvvvvve it, especially over holo polish. Go check out her store here. Jenn just came out with her Christmas collection-so check those out too! [Her instagram name is @delusionalpolish]
 
 
Hope everyone voted Tuesday - whatever side you were on. I did these with my friend Ryan for some twin nails Monday :)



Now, ON TO CHRISMAS POLISHES :)

I am dyyyyyyyyyyying to get some of the Jindie polishes...but her store is on vacation at the moment so when it opens - it's on!!! lol. But I have snagged some pretties so far..




Kelley, with Paper Hearts Productions asked me to swatch a couple polishes from her new Holiday Line :)) I chose [left] 'Tinsel Toe' & [right] '12:01' --- she is trying to get 100 followers so go like her facebook page: facebook.com/paperheartproductions // her instagram name is @paperheartnails. Cant wait to try these out! :)))
 
 
WARNING: The below polishes are soooo festive!!! You have been warned :)
I picked 4 polishes out the many gorgeous polishes of Lush Lacquers Christmas Collection...They're all gorgeous, but these 4 I HAD to have :)

Top Left: Ho Ho Holidays is the epitome of Christmas glitter..topped over anything, it is gorgeous
Top Right: Santa Baby..just looking at it, I see Santa's suit! :)
Bottom Left: Winter Blues...um, yes please! over white, blue, black..this color is perfect!
&&&& Bottom Right: Tree-mendous...these ladies have managed to put a Christmas tree in a bottle. How gorgeous is that? Looking at it you can see the green of the tree, the beautiful colored ornaments, and of course, the legendary star for the top of the tree :)
 
Fabulous! Can't wait to get these bad boys!
