Colors By Llarowe Winter 2015 Partial Swatches

Hi guys!

I've been really enjoying watching lately, and I hope you aren't getting sick of it because these polishes are SO pretty!! <3

I've got four polishes from the Colors by Llarowe Winter 2015 collection to share with you today. Might as well just get into it right? ;) 


A nude scattered holographic with a pretty golden shimmer in the sunshine. Formula was perfect, smooth and easy to work with. Swatch is two coats with top coat. 



A gorgeous medium red with an intense holographic flame and red holographic micro glitters scattered throughout. Formula is perfect, smooth and easy to work with. Swatch is two coats with top coat although it could defintely be a one coater on shorter nails. 



A medium plum purple linear holographi. Formula was the same as the others, smooth and easy to work with. Swatch is two coats with top coat.  



A stunning deep berry wine linear holographic. Formula was the same as the others, smooth and easy to work with. Swatch is two coats with top coat although it could easily be a one coater. 



These are so perfect! The formula was so amazing and *secret time* these are my FIRST CBL polishes O.O But I am so impressed I will definitely be ordering more like.... today ;) 

Anyways, my favorite has to be Berries in the Snow. It's such a unique and beautiful color, I've been into the vampy colors lately and this one is just perfection!

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:

Bear Pawlish Neverending Story

Hi guys!

I've been a little sporadic lately and I'm sorry for that but I promise it's for good reason. Wanna know what it is? My boyfriend and I have bought our first house! YEAH! Our official move in date is in about a month so expect my posts to be a little bit all over the place while we get ready to move. I will do my best to keep up as much as possible but those boxes aren't going to pack themselves ;)

Anyways, I thought I'd show off another pretty polish that's been sitting in my untrieds pile for a while, and I really think you're going to like this one!

Bear Pawlish Neverending Story
An absolutely stunning silver holographic polish with a slight hint of a duo chrome shift and purple/blue/green multi chrome micro glitters. Just. Stunning! I've yet to be disappointed with any of Bear Pawlish's polishes and this is no exception. The formula was super smooth and built up to complete opacity in three easy coats. Watched below are three coats with Seche Vite top coat.




Now this is a polish I can wear time and time again, it's simple but so complex at the same time. I LOVE IT!

What do you guys think? Do you have any Bear Pawlishes? Are there any other colors you want me to swatch?

Thanks loves!

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 :)

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 :)

Goombay Gal Nail Lacquer Holy Holo

Hoooooly Holo! *.*

No for real guys! I've got a polish that I can't wait to show you, it's from Goombay Gal Nail Lacquer and it's called Holy Holo and I have to say it's so aptly named! 

Holy Holo is a stunning silver holographic polish that just seems to glow from within. Even in the shade this polish has so much depth to it it's incredible! The formula was buttery smooth and it was fully opaque in just two easy coats. I'm very impressed, and slightly obsessed ;) Swatches below are two coats with top coat.

*UPDATE* after doing some research I've found that Holy Holo is actually a mood changing thermal polish! Mine never changed but I'll keep you updated as try to see if I can get it to ;) 



GAWD! I can't even get over it, this polish is so gorgeous! You can see the depth so well in the first swatch photo which was taken in indirect light, look how it almost sparkles right in front of your eyes! 

This is my first experience with Goombay Gal Nail Lacquer and I have to say that I am really pleasantly impressed. Goombay Gal Nail Lacquer retails for 9.99USD and can be purchase HERE! Make sure you stay up to date with Goombay Gal Nail Lacquer by following her:

Cirque Colors Julep

You guys ready for another stunner?

I'm  going to let you all in on a little secret first, this is my very FIRST Cirque polish. Yep, you read that right, before I picked this baby up I didn't own a single Cirque. Why? I don't have the slightest clue. Chalk it up to being cheap... not that they're expensive but I've had to keep myself on a tight budget for a while. But there was no way I was going to miss out on the beauty that is Cirque Julep. Mint has been a favorite color of mine for the summertime, it's so bright, cool and fun to wear. And OBVIOUSLY you know I love anything holographic ;) So what happens when the two meet and make a baby? Cirque Julep is born <3

Cirque Julep is a gorgeous bright mint holographic polish with what seems to be the slightest of gold shimmers. So minty and SO SPARKLY x.x The formula was really great, super smooth. I can't compare it to any other Cirques because well, I don't have any but so far I'm loving their formula. The only thing that really stuck out to me though was the smell... it smelled quite different from any other polish I own, I can't put a finger on what it is but it's a tad stronger then most polishes. It's so beautiful though so I didn't mind ;) Swatches below are two easy coats with top coat.







Cirque Julep is part of a collaboration with Nordstrom and it's limited edition so hurry up and grab yours before they're gone! I mean come on, who wouldn't want this pretty in their lives ;)

What do you guys think? Will you be grabbing Cirque Julep?

Thanks loves :)
