Polish 'M: Winter/Christmas 2015 Collection Swatches

Press Sample

Hi guys! So today I have the amazingly beautiful Polish 'M Winter/Christmas Collection! I am rushing to get this post up for you between work and prepping for Thanksgiving because this collection will be launching on Friday! So lets take a look and see at what you may want to add to your Black Friday wish lists!

Polish 'M: Fall 2015 Swatches (Full Collection)

Press Sample

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!

Hi guys! I've been dying to share these swatches with you all, I've just been so busy with work lately that I haven't had time to write up a post. This collection is 1 part 3 of a larger back to school collection by SinfulColors, A Class Act. This set consists of 9 demi-matte polishes, 6 are cremes and 3 are jellies. I have all 9 shown here as 2 coats, no top coat. All 9 have excellent formulas, no flooding, dragging/balding and are self leveling. Lets see what we have now...

Renaissance Cosmetics: Ennui, Melancholia & Rapture

Press Sample

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! 

Forever Polished: It's A Fairy World Collection Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Hi loves! So I have had a heck of a week and fell waaaay behind. I had originally planned on having several posts up this week but my darling husband injured himself at work and I have had to help him get around. That and the fact that I don’t actually have Internet, I use the library for that, It’s just been difficult to find the time to get to a connection. So next week I will hopefully have a week full of posts! ♥

Anyway, today I have a new collection from Forever Polished to show you. This collection is a Spin-off inspired by the polish Fairy Party of  the Mythical Party collection. All of these have an excellent formula, applying smooth and distributing glitter evenly over the nail. 

Barielle Keys Collection (Summer 2014)

Press Sample

Hello my loves! I have a new to me brand to show you all today. I am really excited about this brand too! Barielle has been around for over 30 years, they started off as a company that created products to condition the hooves of thoroughbred racehorses. Pretty cool right? Now they specialize in hand and nail care with special products that are made for weak, brittle and hard to grow nails. Barielle has a great variety of shades and finishes so there is something for everyone! 

Today I have the new collection for Summer 2014, the Keys Collection! The collection consists of 3 cremes, 2 shimmers and 1 jelly. I am in love with these formulas! Creme polishes can be kind of a pain put these are all such excellent formulas, probably the best cremes I've ever tried!  All 6 are shown here without top coat and as 2 coats unless otherwise noted! Lets jump into it!

Celestial Cosmetics "Meteoroid", "Comet Lulin" & " Aurora" Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Happy Friday loves! Today I have some lovely Celestial Cosmetics polishes Sisi from Color4Nails sent to me. If you aren't familiar with Celestial, it is a 3-Free Australian Indie brand. I have tried quite a few polishes from this brand and it is easily one of my favorite Indies. The quality is always superb; excellent formula for easy application, fast dry time and gorgeous shades. This is a green polish post so if you love green polishes make sure you keep reading, you may love all of these as much as I do! 

"May The Fourth Be With You" Trio by Freak Show Polish, Laquerlicious & Liquid Sky Lacquer

Hey all, I hope everyone is having a great week so far! Today I have a really cool review to show you! Three awesome ladies that create some equally awesome indies collaborated to create this phenomenal Star Wars inspired trio!   

Model City Polish: "Charmed"

Purchased By Me

Happy Friday! I have been so busy this week I have hardly had time to post but I wanted to show you all this gorgeous polish I wore this week. It was my intention to post this on Tuesday as a Try It On Tuesday post, but like I said It's been crazy busy. I only recently tried Model City Polish when I did a review for Nina a few weeks back. I have since fallen in love with her gorgeous lacquers and see myself adding more to my collection in the future, especially since she has announced that she will be releasing a Resident Evil collection very soon! Yes I am a RE fan! Movies and games, even though I suck at playing the games! LOL Anyway, let's take a look at this beauty shall we?

Rainbow Honey: "The Kraken" & "Summer Blossom" Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Today I have the last couple of polishes from Rainbow Honey to show you all. I was extremely excited to get a surprise review package from RH, especially when I saw the first polish in this review. Now that I've swatched all of them I am in love with each and every one! RH has some pretty awesome polishes: colors, formulas and names! It's no surprise these were their top sellers last year! 

 The Kraken: described as “a marine jelly with a blue and green glow filled with glitters and shimmer” 

Shown as 3 coats topped with Nail Pattern Boldness Digital Flash. 

This is probably one of my all time favorite Rainbow Honey polishes of all time. The color is absolutely gorgeous and the glitters are a perfect match. The formula is excellent, it gave me no problems at all.

Summer Blossom:  described as “orange, yellow and white blossoms in a sea of iridescent and holographic glitters”

Shown as 1 coat over Zoya Livngston, topped with Nail Pattern Boldness Digital Flash.

I wasn't expecting to like this one so much, I’m not a big fan of shaped glitters let alone flowers, but I wound up really liking this, what can I say I'm a sucker for iridescent glitters. I especially enjoy my choice of undies for this cheerful glitter topper. Surprisingly I didn't need to do too much fishing for the flowers. I did need to place them on the nail as opposed to just polishing them on but with larger glitters I pretty much expect this. 

 These two polishes, as well as a ton of others, are available on Rainbow Honey's website www.rainbowhoney.com.. They retail for $10 each full size bottle and you can use the code ILOVENAILBLOGS from now until March 31, 2014 to receive $5 off your next Rainbow Honey order!

Renaissance Custom Lacquer: Love...Everyday Collection

Press Sample

Happy Friday loves! Valentine's Day is just one week away and I have some polishes from Renaissance Custom Lacquers to show you just for that occasion! The best thing about these? That even though they are for V-Day they aren't overly lovey dovey or too themed so they can be worn any day of the year! 

Pretty Serious Cosmetics "Viscous Vampire"

Purchased By Me

Last week Pretty Serious Cosmetics was asking their fans if they had any PS in their untrieds and if so which ones. I raised my hand in guilt and then listed which ones I hadn't used yet. I have several but when I named Viscous Vampire as one Kaz said that it was probably one of her favorites. Since I have been meaning to try out my beautiful babies anyway I figured why not put that red vixen to use for the next weeks  Try It On Tuesday!

Nail Pattern Boldness: Howl And The Anti Cries Collection (Halloween 2013)

Press Sample

Hi loves!! Happy MONDAY! No? Well maybe some Halloween polishes will make it better! Tonight I have an awesome Halloween collection by Nail Pattern Boldness to show you! As most of you know already, NPB is one of my all time favorite indies. Allison always has the best quality, coolest names, most excellent customer service and the fastest turnaround time of any indie I have ever purchased from!

Live Life Polished Summer Neons

Press Sample

As summer is coming to a close a lot of you are anxious for fall shades. I love vampy, dark colors too but I'm one of those people who wears what I want when I want, no matter the time of year. Since I'm a color trend rebel I don't think it's too late in the season to show you these sensational jellies from Live Life Polished! These area perfect summer colors and could also be perfect to try and cheer you during the cooler months to come!

I have 4 colors from the 8 shade collection to show you. All of them apply smoothly and dry to a slightly matte finish. When top coat is added they transform into a beautiful squishiness! None of them had any issues at all, perfect formulas! I used 3 coats for each shade and finished them all with a coat of SH Insta-Dry. 

Polish TBH "Thestral" & "Sorcerer's Stone"

Happy humpday! How about some more Polish TBH Diagon Alley swatches to help get you over that hump? Last week I showed you Dark & Difficult Times and Pumpkin Pasties, if you happened to miss that post check it out by clicking here! 

Live Life Polished "Purple Skies" & "Fun In the Sun"

Press Sample

Hello my polished pretties!! Today I have a couple more polishes to show you from Live Life Polished . These two are true jellies. Application was great, they are thick enough that there is a lot of control and they don't flood or pool but thin enough that they don't thicken or pull when applying. I really love both of these and I can't wait to try out more from this Indie. I am a sucker for jellies and Live Life Polished has a lot of them!! Let's take a look, shall we?
