Wing Dust Collections "Space Junk In Her Trunk"

Gifted To Me

I'm running behind because I have a terrible case of the lazies, so here is a really quick Try It On Tuesday post!

Space Junk In Her Trunk...
...pink, blue, purple, green, holo and iridescent glitters in various shapes and sizes in a deep navy blue jelly base with purple shimmer.

Who's ready for some eye popping, orgasmic holographic polishes? Me! Me! ME!!! I love holographic polish, who doesn't?  I really love the super strong linear holos the best so when Color4Nails said they would be stocking the Perfect holo line I was stoked! Perfect has 8 shades to choose from, they don't have the most unique names, H1-H8, but they are really spectacular on the nail! I'm going to do this review a little different. I'm going to show you all the photos and then give the info after. All 3 of the polishes I have for you today are shown as 2 coats no base/top coat and are all shown outdoors in direct sunlight. 

Alanna Renee Cosmetics "Tranquil"

Purchased By Me

Hello my loves, welcome to another Try It On Tuesday post! Today I have an Aussie Indie I have been dying to try out for a few weeks now. I have been on a low buy for a while, since my stash has gotten a little out of hand according to my husband, but I had to have this polish! It was screaming my name and begging me to buy it! 

Zoya PixieDust 2013 Fall Collection

Press Sample

Hello my polished pretties! I have been waiting to do this post since Zoya first announced back in May that they were releasing these Fall Pixies! I have fast become a textured junkie, I love all the textured polishes I have tried, but I will admit that I love the PixieDust textures the absolute best. They are the least coarse while still maintaining the the texture that I love so much. Plus all of the sparkle, they just dance in the light, better than any others I've tried. These didn't disappoint one bit.

All of the following photos are shown without using a base and top coats, just like Zoya recommends. All are shown as 2 coats with the exception of Tomoko, that one is shown as 3 coats since it was just a tad bit more sheer than the others. Application was amazingly easy, as always. Zoya recommends that you wait until each coat has fully dried, up to 10 minutes, other wise you can end up with a dragging, clumpy mess. Make sure you follow that for hassle free application, I usually wait more along the lines of 3-5 minutes.

Hello loves!!! A couple of months back I did a review of some amazing Alanna Renee polishes! I fell hard and fast for this Aussie Indie brand even before I had reviewed any of the polishes, especially because I saw that there was a whole line of Harry Potter themed polishes...the Magical World collection. I was immediately heartbroken when when I realized that I was unable to get these Australian pretties on my American digits! Then about a week or so after I reviewed my first Alanna Renee's Sisi from Color4Nails announced that she would be carrying the entire Magical World collection!! Be Still My Beating Heart! Sisi has sent me these 3 beauties to show you all today! I am slowing ordering the rest of the collection because lets face it, I NEED THEM ALL!!

Love, Angeline Summer Rainbows Collection

Press Sample

Good morning my polished pretties!! Did everyone have a good weekend?  Do anything fun for the holiday? I had tons of fun and wish it didn't end but all good things must end and now we are back to the everyday hustle and bustle! Today I am going to show you the Summer Rainbows collection by Love, Angeline! All of these are shown as 2 coats no top coat. The formula for each one was quite thick, so I wound up adding about 3 drops of thinner to each mini bottle to make application easier. I did have some bubbling when I tried to apply them without adding the thinner. These are all described as having a subtle shimmer but the finish, to me, is less shimmery and more foil like: they can appear a bit brush strokie. (um, is that a word? LOL) 

OPI "Tiffany Case" and "Jinx"

Press Sample

Hello Loves!! I hope you all had a great weekend, or at least better than mine. I was suffering all weekend with a nasty headache, allergies are mean to me! Oh well, today I have more polishes that I received from Color4Nails,  a couple gorgeous polishes from OPI's Bond Girl collection. As most of you know the Bond Girls collection consists of 6 liquid sand (textured) shades. I have Tiffany Case and Jinx to show you today. These two polishes are gorgeous. They apply like a dream, no pulling, dragging or clumping. They both dry in just the matter of minutes and the texture is nice, not too coarse or catchy. Both Tiffany Case and Jinx are shown as 2 coats no top coat and Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter-A-Peel as my base.

Love, Angeline "Light Show", "I ♥ USA" & "Fire Cracker"

Hello loves!! How was your weekend? Mine was ok, it was rainy and kinda icky here most of the weekend. For today's post I have some 4th of July polishes to show you, the Independence collection from Love, Angeline.  

OPI "Suzi's Hungary Again!" & "Polka.com"

Press Sample

Hello again! Tonight I have a late night post of some more gorgeous polishes that were sent to me by the super duper sweet Sisi of Color4Nails! I have done a couple of reviews so far of a couple of the Aussie Indies that Color4Nails has to offer, but did you know that C4N carries more than Indie polishes as well? Most of the brands carried by C4N are international but the also carry OPI at a discounted price! Today I have two polishes from the Euro Centrale Collection.

Shades of Phoenix "Astraios" & "Apollo"

Press Sample

Hello my polished pretties! Sorry for the late post but I have been feeling a little weird lately, very tired and kinda loopy, so I spent most of the day laying in bed. I really wanted to show you these lovely Aussie polishes that the super sweet Sisi from Color4Nails sent to me to review. These 2 polishes are from Shades of Phoenix's Olympus Collection.

Zoya Summer 2013 Stunning Collection (Picture Heavy)

Hey hey hey! How is everyone this glorious Monday morning? Today I have the Stunning Collection to show you all. I have really been looking forward to swatching this collection. There isn't a single color that I dislike, they are all amazing and would look great on anyone! Formula and application for them were excellent. All but 1 of the shades are shown as 2 coats topped with SH Diamond Flash. I did have a little trouble from Darcy, so I used 3 coats topped with SH Diamond Flash.

Wingin' It Lacquer "Butterfly Fields" "Pearl Dreams" & "Spring Fling"

Press Sample

Happy Hump Day! I hope everyone is having a great week so far! First I want to appologize that I am super behind on the ABC Challenge, I just have  had so much  going on and I really wanted to get caught up on my review posts. I still have a few to do but hopefully I will be mostly finished before my trip to Louisiana next week. We were planning on leaving on Tuesday but hubby has to work Tuesday night AND my little man (my nephew) is "graduating" from preschool , I can't miss that! So if I don't have them all caught up sometime this weekend I'm going to hope for a big post to catch up, Q through T, on the next challenge day. So to move on to the review, I have 3 more Wingin' It Lacquers to show you all today! All photos are shown as 3 coats over NPB Glitter-A-Peel topped with NPB GlitterFood and SH Diamond Flash.

Zoya Summer 2013 Irresistible Collection (Picture Heavy)

Press Sample

Happy Monday!! I hope everyone had a great weekend, I know I did! The weather has been so amazing and feels so summer like, I just love it! Summer like weather calls for beautiful summer nails, wouldn't you agree? Zoya has come out with some really amazing summer collections this year (if you haven't seen the Summer PixieDust Collection click here to see my swatches) and today I have the Irresistible collection to show you.  This collection contains 6 foil metallic polishes that all have a a hint of gold flakes. Each of these had a great formula making application fairly easy. No dragging or balding and they all went on pretty smooth, with the exception of one (keep reading below) All of the photos are shown as 3 coats, unless otherwise stated, and all are topped with Sally Hansen Diamond Flash. I want to note that with the length of my nails I usually use one more coat than would be used on shorter/average length nails.

Wing Dust Collections "Hope"

Press Sample

"HOPE: This is inspired by so many amazing people we met while in Mongu, by Hope Church, by the Hope Art program that employs and empowers women of the community. There were so many reasons to Hope, even in the midst of countless heart-breaking circumstances that we saw in our too short time there.

The good work being done by this organization was so encouraging in the midst of so much hardship. This polish can't even begin to capture the millions of emotions you feel in the moment, but it tries to convey a sense of what Hope might look like. It's bit hard to sum up in a few words... and definitely not a feeling you can capture in a bottle.. but this is my attempt. " -Stephanie of Wing Dust Collections

Hello! I am sorry that I don't have a Try It On Tuesday post for you today but it actually slipped my mind until just a little while ago and I just don't have time right now. But I do have a couple of amazing Indie polishes to show you tonight. It's no secret that I am totally in love with Indie polishes, majority of what I post is Indie! Well this next review is from Nail Pattern Boldness, the Indie that started it all for me! Allison has some of the prettiest polishes, excellent quality, the best customer service and in my experience the FASTEST shipping I've ever seen from an indie! So let's get started, shall we?

Hello girls and boys, I hope you all had a great weekend! I had a pretty productive weekend myself. I managed to get quite a few swatches done, the Zoya summer PixieDust collection being some of those swatches! I was so excited when Zoya announced that they were doing another set of these textured polishes! 

ABC Challenge: P Is For piCture pOlish Paradise by Liquid Jelly

Gifted To Me

I'm running way behind today, I was supposed to have this done as a scheduled post last night but I had the worst migraine and I was feeling sick to my stomach too, so I went to bed really early. I must have been tired because I slept for 14 hours! HOLY COW! So this ABC Challenge post is going to be a short one so I can get my second post up. (Kelara Lacquers holos...you have to come back to see them they are pretty!!!)

TIOT: Wing Dust Collections "Ocean Tears"

Purchased By Me

Welcome to week 16 of  Try It On Tuesday! Wow! 16 weeks into the year already, can you believe it? I have another blue beauty to show you all this week, following the theme of the month for Autism Awareness! I have been wanting Ocean Tears since it first was released and I thought I had missed my opportunity to get my hands on it when Stephanie said that she was going to be retiring some of her pretties. This one being a LE  made it hard to get during restocks. Well one of her last restocks I aimed for getting this one, I didn't care if I couldn't get any other shade I HAD to have Ocean Tears! I stalked Wing Dust's Etsy shop until it popped up! Yay! It is now mine!! Here's why I had to have this polish...

U-Neek Polish: Dark Angel, Mystic Mist, Cerberus and Black & White Diamonds.

Press Sample

Good morning!! Today I bring to you 4 holographic polishes from U-Neek Polish! I was so excited this past weekend when the sun made an appearance! I live in the Midwest, so it could be sunny and 80 degrees one minute and then gloomy and snowing the next minute. Needless to say I was a swatching fool trying to get all of the holos ready for reviews! LOL 

Each of these have excellent formulas, application was great. No flooding, pooling, dragging or thickening during use. Dry time was also excellent. I used a top coat with each of these, it didn't dull the holo at all.

Tonight I have a couple of gems from Delightful Lacquers to show you! I managed to swatch these holos really quickly while the sun and I were playing a game of hide n seek! I've been waiting to swatch these for a while, so I hope you enjoy them!
