Cupcake Polish: Unicorn Collection Swatches

I am actually dying T.T 

The beautiful-ness of this collection is just over the top, call it love, call it whatever you want but I guarantee you, you NEED these gorgeous polishes in your life! That's right, I'm talking Unicorns, specifically the Unicorn Collection from Cupcake Polish. Don't believe me? Let the swatches speak for themselves <3


Imagine
A stunning teal jelly base packed with teal and silver holographic micro glitters. Formula is on the thicker side but that's to be expected with a micro glitter polish but it was extremely easy to work with. I want to note that the formula on all five of these were the same, so excuse me for being redundant LOL! This polish dries slightly textured so you will want a top coat for sure if you want that smooth shiny finish. Swatch below is two coats, yes TWO coats to get a beautiful full coverage finish, I DIE, with one coat of Seche Vite top coat. 


Magic
A peridot green jelly base packed with peridot green and silver holographic micro glitters. Formula is the same as the rest, thicker but definitely easy to work with. It will dry slightly textured so be sure to top coat to get that smooth and shiny finish. Swatch below is two coats with Seche Vite top coat. 


Wish
A medium/light pink jelly base packed with pink and silver holographic micro glitters. Formula is the same as the others and it will dry to a textured finish so make sure you add your favorite top coat to get that smooth and shiny finish. Swatch is two coats with Seche Vite top coat. 


Dream
A medium blue jelly base packed with blue and silver holographic micro glitters. Formula is the same as the others and dries slightly textured also so make sure you add a top coat if you want a smooth and shiny finish. Swatch is two coats with Seche Vite top coat. 


Believe
A beautiful purple jelly base packed with purple and silver holographic micro glitters. Formula is the same as all of the others and make sure you add a top coat because it will dry to a slightly textured finish. Swatch is two coats with Seche Vite top coat. 


These are SO SPARKLY! They are all so beautiful and I am so impressed by the formula. I rarely see a micro glitter that is completely opaque in two coats, if ever. Definitely happily impressed. 

My favorite would have to be Imagine, I'm just so into teal and mint colors lately and with the added holographic sparkle this is a must have for me. But honestly I think they are all must haves LOL!

Cupcake Polish retails for 13.00USD for a 15mL polish. You can buy these pretties and so many more at www.cupcakepolish.bigcartel.com. Stay up to date with new releases, coupons, and so much more by following:

What is a Tweexy?

Hi guys!

Long time no talk! The good news is that my boyfriend and I are all moved in to the new house and my nails are slowly recovering ;) 

While we were in the process of moving, a new company, Tweexy, reached out to me to see if I would give their new product a go. I was super intrigued because I mean, what the heck is a Tweexy? Tweexy is, "The first and only spill-proof, finger-mounted nail polish bottle holder." Sounds cool right? I thought so too so I was more then happy to give it a try. The Tweexy currently comes in three different colors: Spa Green, Sapphire Night, and Bonbon Pink. I received the Bonbon Pink. What I really like about the Tweexy is how easy it is to polish my nails when I'm not home. I do use it at home as well but now I can polish anywhere! The Tweexy is super sturdy and it eliminates the need for a flat surface to place your bottle on when polishing so you can polish almost anywhere! Let's see how well it works...


Cute packaging, interesting looking product. 


Claim on the side of the box, "Fits all bottles and fingers. No smudge spill drip." 


To use: Squeeze the tabs on the side of the Tweexy to open up the finger rings and place on any two fingers. Insert the bottle and polish away! Remove by squeeze the tabs and pulling off the fingers. 



I found that it fit quite comfortably on my fingers. I usually switch between my pointer and middle fingers and my middle and ring fingers. Both way are comfortable to me. The Tweexy is made out of silicone and it has a bit of weight to it so it takes a short while to adjust to but I quite like the look of it.



Super impressed, the bottle didn't budge at all when I turned my hand upside-down.



Fits mini OPI bottles as easily as regular sized bottles. 



Even fits different shaped bottles like my VS polishes with no problem. 



Overall: I am very impressed with this product. It's not often an innovative product comes along and blows me away but I think the Tweexy has the potential to become an essential nail polishing tool. Easy to use, fool proof instructions, and a quality product makes me sure that I will be using this every time I paint my nails. 

The Tweexy is available exclusively on Amazon.com and sells for $14.95USD. Just search Tweexy on Amazon to purchase. Want to know more? Visit www.tweexy.com for reviews and videos and to learn more about the history about this company. Stay up to date with everything Tweexy by following:



What do you guys think? Have you heard of the Tweexy yet? Will you purchase one... or 100?

Lacquer Lust Swatches!

Hi guys!

It's been a while since I've done some swatches and I just bought these gorgeous polishes from Lacquer Lust and they are just too pretty not to ;) I really think you're going to LOVE them all! 

Ready to drool?

A dark blue, almost but not quite navy, suede/matte polish with some teeny tiny blue micro glitters. I am loving the suede/mattes from Lacquer Lust because she always manages to make sure that just enough sparkle is peeking out! Formula was on the thicker side but not difficult to work with at all. Swatches are three thin coats, although you could definitely get away with two careful coats. Bottom photos are with Seche Vite Top Coat, the sparkle really comes to life! 







A stunning bright red suede/matte polish with the most drool-worthy red shimmer. I am SO impressed with this one, and the best part? NO STAINING! Not even the smallest little bit.  The formula was a bit thicker even then Out of the Blue, but it is completely opaque in two coats, just make sure to let them dry in between and you won't have any problems. Swatches below are two coats and the bottom swatches are with Seche Vite Top Coat. I don't know which way I like this polish better, matte and shiny are just incredible!







A bright blue jelly base absolutely packed with blue holographic micro glitter. Dat holographic sparkle doe B) Lovely! Formula was surprisingly not as thick as I expected, super easy to work with and the glitter pay off was fantastic. Definitely not a base heavy glitter. Swatch is three coats with Seche Vite Top Coat.




A purple jelly base packed full of dark blue and dark purple holographic micro glitters. WOW! This is the purple of my DREAMS! I'm always searching for a purple thats truly purple and this one is just beautiful! Formula was the same as Blue in the Face, super easy to work with and a great glitter pay off. Swatch is three coats with Seche Vite Top Coat.




This is my first time giving Lacquer Lust a try and wow, I'm really impressed. From the formula, to the colors, to the bottle, it's clear that there is a lot of work and creativity that goes into these polishes.

Lacquer Lust retails for $9.00-$10.00USD for a 15mL polish. You can purchase these polishes and tons of other pretties at lacquer-lust.com. 

What do you guys think? Have you tried this brand before?

Thanks loves :)

JORD Watch Review + Nail Art

Hi guys!

I have a different sort of review for you all today. Dan from JORD Watches contacted me and asked me to review one of their watches. If you don't know who JORD is, they are a line of luxury handcrafted all-natural wood watches. I took a peek at their website and fell head over heels for the Cora Purple Heart & Pearl because I had the BEST complimentary nail art idea ;) 

Ready to check it out?

For my nail art I started with a base of Essie Blanc and layered Pretty & Polished Opal over it. I applied some half moon vinyls from Stick It! Nail Vinyls and painted over everything with OPI German-icure. I removed the vinyl and added some golden dots with Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold. I sealed everything in with a layer of Seche Vite to finish it off!





I am in love not only with this manicure but this gorgeous watch! It's so comfortable to wear and the deep wood compliments almost everything! 

If you want your own you can buy your JORD Watch or just check out the selection HERE!

Bear Pawlish Peek A Boo!

I've done it.

I've finally done it.

I've found the polish to end ALL polishes. May I please introduce you all to Bear Pawlish Peek A Boo! the most stunning, gorgeous, blindingly bright neon pink holo that ever lived.

And. She's. PERFECT.

I can't even try to control myself here guys LOL it's pretty obviously that pink is my favorite color.... (Pink & Polished Nails?!) and this is everything that I have ever dreamed of in a polish.... and dare I say, even more? I know not everyone will have the same opinion as me because everyone likes different colors (DUH!) but for you pink lovers out there, you absolutely NEED this in you life! Don't believe me? Check it out for yourselves ;)

Bear Pawlish Peek A Boo! is an intense neon pink linear holographic polish. The formula was so buttery smooth. Bright pinks like these can be known for staining but I was pleasantly surprised to find that Peek A Boo! didn't at all. Swatches below are two coats with top coat. Go forth and drool!



Dat flash doe
 Well? Did it blow your mind? Because it most certainly did for me! 

You can purchase Bear Pawlish Peek A Boo! HERE, though I think it may be out of stock she restocks the first Friday of every month.

What do you guys think?

Thanks loves :)
