Spread Indie Love Box (Winter 2015 Edition)

Press Sample


Hello loves! Today I have an extra special post for you. I am privileged to say that I was selected to review the Winter Spread Indie Love Box. This is the second Spread Indie Love Box and there are different Indie collaborators than the last one. The idea behind this box is to show the indie community some much deserved love.  It's also a fun way to allow you, the customer, to become more acquainted with brands and products you may not have heard of or tried yet. If you have tried any of (or all of) these brands, this is a fantastic way to get your hands on products that will be exclusive to these boxes only!

This season's box features 5 full size polishes, 1 bath bomb and 1 full size soap. There are also a few samples included as well! I'll tell you right off the bat, as soon as I opened my mail box the lovely scent that came out made me so excited to open this baby up!

Superchic Lacquer: The Once Upon A Diamond Collection Swatches (Picture Heavy)


Hello again! This is my second Superchic Lacquer post for the day. If you missed my Ugly Sweater Party Trio post, click that link and check it out! 

This second post is a larger collection, and it's all textures! As you may know, I am a sucker for textured polishes! However, I also know that some of you don't really care for textures, so I have textured pictures and top coat pictures so everyone can enjoy these beauties! I would describe the texture of these as similar to Zoya's Magical PixieDust: slightly chunky, non abrasive and super sparkly! Each of these polishes contains a 1/2 carat of diamond crystals!

I have all shown here as 2 coats. The top coat pictures are shown with 1 coat of Glitter Food by Nail Pattern Boldness to smooth them out and then Superchic Marvel Top Coat to give it a glassy shine! All of them had the same formulas, nice and opaque and the glitters spread evenly across the nail. I do recommend that you place them all upside down for about 5-10 minutes prior to application so you can get a good mix of glitters, especially the larger ones, to come to the top for easier access. I will note however that the larger ones, like the triangles, are really only for an accent not to cover the nails.

 I can tell you that even though the textured photos don't look as sparkly as the top coat ones they really are. Also when using the top coat to smooth them out, make sure to allow enough dry time. It will take a bit longer with the extra layers and your nails can be a little thicker, though not too much to make it unwearable. Just be patient. Now let's take a look at these swatches...

Once Upon A Diamond Collection (Textured)

Superchic Lacquer: Ugly Sweater Party Trio Swatches & Review


Hi guys! I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving and you are well into enjoying your weekend. Today I have 2...yes TWO...posts to share with you. Superchic has two beautiful holiday/winter collections that are releasing Wednesday. One thing that I want to note before I show you the swatches; Back in September Jen announced that her bottles had been discontinued so we would be seeing a new style. Well these new collections she has releasing will be debuting the new style, a kind of bubble round bottle with a white pointed cap. The new shape/style are very cute and some of you may be really happy with this change because I know you have expressed a dislike of the old star bottles. I want to warn you though to make sure to have a good grip on these when picking them up by the cap since they can tend to slip right out of your fingers if you don't. Other than that I'm loving the new look!

KBShimmer: Breaking Blues & Carpe Denim for Fall 2015 Swatches


Good morning and happy Monday! I have so much to show you guys this week, well over the next 2 weeks actually. Between swatching, getting blog posts ready, working and prepping for the holiday...I may just lose my mind here shortly! Oh well, that's life.

I figured since winter is just around the corner I should show you all these two fall polishes first in my long line of planned posts. I was originally supposed to show these to you a couple of months ago but, silly me, I listed my address incorrectly and wound up receiving them with my winter samples! Oops! I'm so bad about proofing. Anyway, these babies were definitely worth the wait, so let's get to it...

Elevation Polish: Glacier Collection & Yeti Duo Swatches


Hey guys! Who's going crazy with the upcoming holiday? ME!! So let's take a nice break and look at some pretty polishes! Today I have the two newest collections from Elevation to show you. Up first I have the Glacier Collection...

Engilchek Glacier: "a dusty light purple shimmer. Micro shimmer in pink & violet."

Shown as 2 coats topped with Superchic Marvel Top Coat.
This has an excellent formula. There was no flooding the cuticles or sides, no dragging or balding and very self leveling. The shimmer is a bit muted until under direct light but when it shows it's gorgeous! 
Engilchek retails for $9.

Zoya: Flair for Fall 2015 (Full collection swatches)


Hello loves! I hope everyone's weekend was great. It has finally started cooling down here, it's really beginning to feel like fall. So I have some great fall shades from Zoya's Flair collection. This set consists of 6 metallic polishes. I have all 6 shown here as 2 coats, unless noted below, topped with Superchic Lacquer Marvel Top Coat. They all have excellent formulas, applying silky smooth, and they dry very quickly. I love Zoya's metallic formulas because they aren't brush strokey and they have a lovely shimmer to them.

Superchic Lacquer: Goosebumps Collection Swatches and Marvel-Star Top Coat Review (Picture Heavy)


Hi guys! How about a late night post? Tonight I have the second of the two collections that Jen from Superchic Lacquer created for this Fall season. (If you happened to miss my post for the Dreamology collection check that out here!) The Goosebumps collection consists of 10 crelly bases packed with glitter and shimmer. Now these aren't just any old crelly glitter polishes, these bad boys are thermals and all but two glow under UV/black light! 


I have each shade shown as 3 coats, I did three because of the length of my nails two should be sufficient for most people though. All of them have a nice formula, not thick at all but not too thin that it will cause flooding. These are pretty glitter dense and can be a tad tricky to get some of the larger glitters out, so I recommend turning them upside down for about 5-10 minutes before applying. This will allow the glitters to travel to the top of the bottle so you won't have to fish for them. They all dry down to a matte finish and can be quite textured due to the amount and size of the glitters so I used a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food for all of them to smooth them out, then a coat of Marvel Top Coat for a high-shine finish (unless noted below). Dry time even without top coat was excellent and the thermal shift was crazy visible! I will warn you right now that some of these colors really freaked my phone out, I tried as hard as I could to get the most color accurate photos for you. Also, for a few of these I feel like I may have failed a little in showing how extreme the change in color really is, it's still disgustingly hot here and under my lights the cool state kept wanting to change really fast. I seriously almost froze my fingers off in ice water trying to get the full cold shots and I still had a hard time snapping them fast enough! Stupid Indian Summer! I'm ready for the cool down! 

Ok, I'm done with all the yapping. Let's look at photos. Oh, by the way, I did make collages of these since this is a large collection and so many looks to each polish. I hope you enjoy!

Superchic Lacquer: Dreamology Collection Swatches


Hey all! Today I have a stunning Fall collection from Superchic Lacquer to show you. The Dreamology collection, the first of two collections Jen has created for us, consists of 6 rich linear holographic polishes. I have each shown here as 1 coat, yes 1 coat, topped with Superchic Marvel Top Coat. These are all extremely pigmented so you need to make sure you wear a good base coat to prevent any possible staining. The formula for these is a little on the thicker side, not gloopy though so don't worry about that, The thicker consistency makes it easier to apply in one coat and gives you lots of control so it doesn't flood the cuticle or sides. I would recommend that if you tend to polish a bit heavy handed to try and use a bit of a lighter touch though, otherwise you will have a little bit of dragging. Other than that I had no issues at all, they are perfect!

Let's dive into the swatches...

Zoya: Focus for Fall 2015 (Full collection swatches)

Press Sample

Hi guys! I hope everyone had a great weekend and your week is off to a good start. Summer is coming to a close, even though this heat seems to be sticking around, and Fall is fast approaching. I have no idea why but this year I was ready for summer to end. I usually live for the summer months but this year I have been really looking forward to all the great things fall has to offer: pumpkin and salted caramel everything, cooler weather, the end of mosquito bites and all the darker, rich colors that mother nature and the beauty world has to offer!


Today I have the first of 2 collections Zoya released for the upcoming fall season. The Focus collection consists of 6 creme polishes in perfect shades for the cooler months to come.
I have all 6 shown as 2 coats without top coat, I really wanted to show you how beautifully these shine all on their own, though for longevity purposes I do always recommend a good top coat!
They all have the wonderful formula that I have come to know and love with Zoya polishes. They have the perfect consistency, giving excellent control, for easy flood free application. They are fairly self leveling, extremely opaque and have a fast dry time. I had not one issue to report, even with Sia (the blue in this set). Zoya warns you to wear a base coat to prevent staining because of how pigmented it is. I always use a base coat and I recommend you do too, not only to prevent staining but to make your manicure last longer. Zoya has an excellent base coat and quick drying top coat as well. Well, let's take a look at the swatches...

Polish 'M: Fall 2015 Swatches (Full Collection)


Hi guys!! It's been a while since I've done a full blown indie post, but I really thought this amazing collection deserved the full write up! Plus with all the hoopla going on in the polish community I thought it would be a great time to show my love for an indie brand that I know, completely trust and positively adore! Polish 'M started up 3 years ago originally as Laquerlicious, then rebranded at the beginning of this year as Polish 'M. Michelle, the creative genius behind the sparkle, has always released great collections but she has really outdone herself with this one! This is the ultimate fall collection, something for everyone. If you're like me you will love each and every lacquer in this set!

JORD Wood Watch Review (Picture Heavy)


Well hello guys! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I'm really excited to show you today's post. A few weeks ago I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing a JORD Wood Watch. I had heard of this company and their wood watches once before but I hadn't looked into the company until I was approached. I was surprised to find out that this company is based in St Louis, which is my hometown! I was immediately interested in working with JORD after finding this out, then I looked at all the different styles they offer! WOW! There are so many to chose from, all unique and all very beautiful.

Takko Lacquer: Partial Summer Collection, Cosmoprof Color & 3rd Birthday Color Swatches and Restock Info


Hi guys! I know I don't generally get to post my indies on the blog anymore but I want to try and do mini posts like the one I will be doing today more often. I sort of stepped away form full time "blogging" in favor of posting my reviews/swatches to Instagram because it's easier, faster and just more convenient to post there. I won't be doing full blown posts with multiple photos, unless I have the time, instead I'll post a quick rundown with 1 photo of each polish, a link to it's original review post and a link to it's macro shot (if available) that will be on my Instagram account, @sassypaints2012. These links will give you the normal information I'd usually put in a review post here; shade descriptions, how the polish applies, and any other information I deem important. 
I know that some of our IG feeds tend to move rather quickly and you can really miss some great photos, I hope this will help bring you more of my swatches/reviews and in turn get more of these great polishes on your fingers! 


Recently I had the great honor of being asked to swatch for Takko Lacquer! I was thrilled to have this opportunity and of course jumped right on it. Up first I have 4 polishes from the Summer Collection,. These and the rest of the Summer Collection will be restocked today at 8pm ET.

Terax Hair Care Review


Hi guys! Today I have a different kind of post than normal. I was sent a bunch of samples for Terax Crema Original, Hydrate Leave-In and a bottle of Original +Keratin. I have been on the hunt for "THE' conditioner and this brand ranks up in my top 3! Here is a little info on this new to me brand...

"For nearly 50 years, men and women around the world have enjoyed soft,  shiny and healthy hair thanks to Terax Hair Care’s full line of rinse out and leave in conditioning treatments, including their cult favorite Terax Original Crema Conditioner. A family owned and operated company with an Italian heritage, Terax Hair Care focuses on building healthy hair from the inside out through high quality and innovative hair care formulations."

Before we proceed, I must admit I don't usually do many reviews in terms of hair care products so my photos aren't 100%. So please don't be too critical. I tried as best as I could to show you what I saw while using these products. I hope you enjoy.

Zoya: Paradise Sun Summer 2015 Collection


Hi guys! Today I have the second Summer collection from Zoya to show you. I had planned on swatching these sooner but I know that we bloggers tend to post them all at once and then the blogging world seems to go into overload. This is why I decided to wait so they would serve as sort of a refresher, or as something kind of new if you happened to miss the storm of posts. Now let's jump right on into the photos!

SinfulColors Summer 2015: Street Fusion Swatches Pt II


Hi guys! I finally have the second half of the SinfulColors Street Fusion review I promised. If you missed the first part, or just need a refresher, you can find that here.  So let's just jump right into it, shall we?

SinfulColors Summer 2015: Street Fusion Swatches & Review


"This summer, SinfulColors transports you across the globe with an on-trend collection of 29 hues that reflect the vibrant and eclectic chaos from around the world.  The fusion of saturated cream shades and dazzling neon appliqués channel the pulsating energy of a summer evening.  The offbeat blend of spicy reds, oranges and cooling blues are perfectly paired with henna appliqués and foil tips.  Juicy purples and pinks complement new matte glitter toppers that add a fashion-forward flair while graffiti-inspired splatter glitter topcoats capture the diverse and rebellious vibe of street art.

Let these 29 vibrant shades, 6 glitter topcoats and 5 appliqués from SinfulColors express your individuality this summer with an electrifying mani to remember."


Hi guys! I was excited to have received some of the new polishes from SinfulColors' Summer collection to review. I was sent 6 polishes and 1 set of appliqués. I was well on my way to swatching all of them for you and them *WOMP WOMP* I broke a nail! :/ Instead of reswatching all of them to match in length I opted for two separate posts. So in today's post I have 3 of the 6 polishes to show you.

Zoya Island Fun Summer 2015 Swatches & Review


Hi guys! The weather is warming up, clothes are getting lighter and the days are getting longer. That can only mean one thing, Summer is almost here! So you know what that means, fun summer colors and Zoya doesn't disappoint with two new awesome summer collections. Today I have a collection of 6 highly pigmented, rich cremes to show you. I think that these are probably the absolute best formulas of all the cremes that Zoya has put out. They are all very opaque and a couple were one coaters. They are a bit on the thicker side, but I'll admit I like thicker formulas. Now don't get me wrong, they aren't so thick that you can't work with them, if you prefer a thinner formula a couple drops of thinner will work that out for you. These applied so smooth and easy, no dragging, pulling or flooding the cuticles or sides.

Barielle Bling It On Spring Collection 2015 Swatches & Review


Hi guys! How was everyone's long weekend? I was sick...well still sick actually. I have a cold that I just can't shake and it has me worn down. I figured I better put some of my lounging around time to good use and get this blog post up. The Bling It On collection is described by Barielle as "dazzling combinations of glitter...perfect worn alone or they can add an exciting dimension to a manicure when worn as a top coat, french tip or reverse french!" I chose to wear them over opaque colors so I could let the shimmers and glitters really pop. They all have great formulas that are so easy to work with: glitters come out in an abundance and lay nice and flush against the nail. They also finish nice and smooth after applying your favorite fast drying top coat, not even a slight hint of texture.

Zoya Delight Collection: Swatches & Review


Hey guys, happy Saturday! Today I have some great Zoya polishes swatched for you. This lovely spring collection consists of 3 cremes and 3 shimmering metallics. I have all 3 metallics shown as 2 coats and the cremes shown as 3, they are all topped with Seche Vite top coat. This collection has exquisite formulas, all applying smooth and easily. No dragging, clumping or thickening during application. The cremes are a little thinner than the metallics but build nicely and are completely opaque with the third coat without being too thick on the nail.

Barielle: Gentle Breeze Collection Swatches & Review


Hi guys! I have another catch up post for you today. This is the first of 3 Spring collections Barielle has released this year. I'm really liking this collection because it has a couple of the basic Spring colors you would expect but it also has a few that are a little out of the ordinary for Spring. So let's take a look at what we have.

SinfulColors: Spring Fever 2015 Swatches and Review


Well hello everyone! I am extremely late with this post, I have actually been really behind on a few. So I should have more coming up here soon. Enough of the small talk, let's get to what we're really here for...the swatches! 

I have been sent some lovely SinfulColors polishes, 2 cremes and 3 "opalescent toppers".
I absolutely adore this brand, my ridiculously large Sinful collection is proof! The formulas are always spot on and these are no exception.

Zoya Wishes Collection Swatches


So I realized as i was going through my photos that I somehow forgot to post my Zoya Wishes swatches! Silly me. So here are my very late swatches. The Wishes collection was released for Winter 2014, it consists of 2 metallics, 1 creme and 3 Magical Pixies. 


The metallics have excellent formulas, they apply smooth and easy and are perfectly opaque in two coats. They are the perfect thickness, giving you excellent control so there is no flooding the cuticles or sides. 

The creme formula is a bit thinner, I required 3 coats to get it even and opaque. There was minimal flooding but you do need to be more careful with it than with the metallics. 

The Pixies were a little bit of a disappointment for me. I love the original Pixies and I love the original Magical Pixies but these jelly based ones really don't do it for me. They never get very textured, like the glitters just sink into the jelly base too much so they dry too smooth in my opinion. All of the Pixies are shown as 3 coats 

So let's get on with the swatches...

Zoya Naturel Satin Swatches


Hello all! I hope everyone is well and ready for some beautiful Zoya swatches! Today I have the Naturel Satins. Now I know a lot of mixed feeling have been had about these but I honestly think they are great! They all had lovely application and each of them complimented my skin tone perfectly. I think they would all look fabulous on anyone really! 
I have each shade shown as 2 coats no top coat. They all dry down to a semi-matte "Satin" finish and have a slight egg shell like texture. They are nice and thick, but not to much, so you have great control with application to reduce flooding of the cuticles and sides. Dry time seemed pretty excellent as well.

SinfulColors: Flirt With Hearts, partial collection swatches


Hello all! I have a few of the SinfulColors Valentines Day shades to show you today. The "Flirt With Hearts" collection consists of 8 shades, most of which are usually available all year long, as far as I know Decadent and Love Sprinkles (which I will be showing you) are the only new ones to the bunch. These few that I'm showing today are ones I didn't already have in my collection. Like I've said before, it's hard for me to find new ones sometimes since I have sooooo many Sinfuls! What can I say? I'm a sucker for their polishes!

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.
