Chirality: El Amor De Mi Vida Colección (The Love of My Life Collection)




Hello loves! Today I have a new to me Indie brand, though they have been around for as long as I can remember blogging. This collection is a Spanish themed VDay collection that consists of 5 holographic polishes. 

They all have excellent formulas, opaque in just 2 smooth and perfect coats. There was no dragging or balding and they were all self leveling. The formulas are in the medium-thick range, perfect for good application control: no flooding the cuticle or sides of the nail. I have all five shown in this post with no top coat, I ran out of my HK Girl and my NPB Digital Flash and didn't want to dull the holo with any of the other top coats I have. 

These photos were taken in my light box using daylight bulbs except for every 3rd photo for each  polish, those were taken without filtered light under my Ottlite to show the holo better. So let's take a look...

Live Love Polish - Seche "Coral" & Seche Vite Top Coat Review


Hello everyone! Today I have a review of some items I was sent from Live Love Polisha new online nail polish shop with great brands (both indie and mainstream) from all over the world! Today's post will be about the well known brand Seche. I know most of you know and love Seche's fast drying top coat Seche Vite, but did you know that Seche also has a line of beautiful lacquers as well? I have seen them before but just haven't gotten around to trying them out, so I was thrilled when I was asked to review one for you all. So let's jump into it, shall we?

Renaissance Cosmetics: Ennui, Melancholia & Rapture


Hello my polishes friends! I hope this post finds you well. Today I have 3 polishes from Renaissance Cosmetics' Anniversary Collection. I'm so excited to show these to you, I've been honored to swatch and review for Meghan over the course of this last year. I have truly enjoyed using and showing you all her magnificent lacquers. She really does have some of the best to offer. The quality is always excellent and she has extremely fast shipping, especially since she is located in Canada!  If you haven't tried Renaissance I highly recommend you do! 

Zoya Matte Velvet Collection


Hello my loves, I have another catch up post for you! Today I have the Zoya Matte Velvet collection. It is a set that has been released in the past and has apparently been quite popular in the past. After trying them for myself I can totally see why! 

All 6 have smooth velvety formulas that apply beautifully. I do recommend not over working the polish though or you will end up a bit patchy and require an extra coat. My favorite thing about these? They all dry down matte very quickly and evenly and they aren't brush strokey like a lot of matte polishes tend to be. Since they are matte shades they do not require top coat, though adding top coat will only enhance the beauty of these. The lack of top coat can/most likely will result in a shorter wear period than normal, however they do have a decent wear time without. I have all 6 shades shown here as 2 coats.

Zoya Ultra Pixie Trio: Fall 2014


Hello loves and happy new year! I'm still trying to catch up on my Zoya posts! See, I started a new job recently. After not working for almost 3 years getting back into a normal schedule has been a difficult adjustment. Hopefully now that it's been a few weeks and the holidays are coming to an end I can really buckle down and get all my priorities situated! 

Anywho, today I have the Fall Ultra PixieDust trio to show you.
