Hello again my polished pretties! 2 posts in 1 day, woohoo! I'm on a roll!  Tonight I have a very new Indie brand to show you, Lynx Lacquer. I have been following Samantha, creator of Lynx Lacquer, on her personal Instagram for a while and when she started to show of her labels for her soon to be released brand I was excited! Her labels have to be the cutest I've ever seen! I was thrilled to be able to try these out and show you all just a bit of what Lynx Lacquer has to offer.

Rockabilly Roses Nail Art - Guest Post by Kimber's Lacquer Korner

Nothing To Disclose

Hi girls and boys! I am currently on vacation but I managed to gather up some guest posts to keep you all entertained while I'm away.  Today's guest post is brought to you by the Amazing Kimber from Kimber's Lacquer Korner. Kimber has been a great friend to me since I joined up on her 31 Day Challenge post last year. She has really helped me make it through my many cases of blogger blues and I am ever so grateful to her for being a virtual shoulder for me to lean on! You should definitely give Kimber a follow on her blog if you already aren't, her swatches are always flawless and she does some of the best stamping ever! I strive to stamp like her one day!  Check out Kimber's post after the jump! ♥

Press Sample

Hello my polished pretties! Today I have 2 polishes from Alanna Renee Cosmetics that were sent to me by Color4Nails! Alanna Renee is a fairly new to me Indie name, coming to us from Australia, which have until recently been kind of hard for us US girls to get our hands on. That's where Color4Nails comes in! Color4Nails carries a large variety of brands from mainstream to indie including Penelope Luz, Jade, Ludurana, Layla, DL, Glitter Gal, A England, OPI, Essie, China Glaze, Color Club and many more! I will include all ordering info at the end of this post!

Wing Dust Collections "Sunset Glow" & "Bonfire Under the Stars"

Press Sample

Hello loves! Today I have a couple of beautiful shifty top coats from one of my absolute favorite Indies! 

Wing Dust Collections has some of the most amazing polishes and these are no exception! Both of these are shown as 2 coats over Finger Paints Black Expressionism topped with Sally Hansen Diamond Flash. The formula for each was excellent, they flow on tho the nail smooth as silk with no pulling or dragging and dry quickly. They would both look excellent over any color but dark colors make the shift more apparent. 

Wingin' It Lacquer: "Dark Energy" & " When Stars Collide"

Press Sample

Hi all! I'm sorry I've been kind of M.I.A the past few days. Life happens and I have to deal with that first. I have a couple of glitter toppers from a brand new name in the Indie world to show you tonight! Crystal, owner and creator of Wingin' It Lacquers, had this to say about her polish:

" I started making polish because I was spending way too much money on polish, and I always had fun frankening. I decided to start from scratch and make what I like! I use a 3 free base for all of my polishes and are all hand mixed/poured by me."

The formula for both of these was really nice, not too thick, not too thin. Dry time was excellent, the glitters spread across the nail easily and lay pretty flat against the nail. Since there is so much glitter I would use a smoothing top coat like Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food, like I did, before your regular top coat.

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

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.

Wing Dust Collections "I Am Yours & You Are Mine" & "Space Cadet"

Press Sample

Sorry for the late post! I just wasn't feeling very well today. :( As you know, since I've been complaining about it so much, the weather has been less than perfect around here. I have a lot of holo polishes I have needed to swatch but the sun has been scarce. Well I woke up yesterday and I was very surprised by the sun! WOW! It's not a myth! So I hurried and swatched these 2 beauties from Wing Dust while I had the chance! 

Wing Dust Collections: Spring Has Sprung & Day On the Lake

It's Friday!!! Yay! Who's excited? Me that's who! I get to go to my first Cardinals game of the season! This makes me a happy happy girl, almost as much as polish makes me! Well, confession time, it makes me just as happy! I can't help it, I love baseball and I LOVE the Cardinals! Anyway, I'll stop blabbing about baseball. I have a couple more super awesome polishes from Wing Dust Collections to show you today! 

Jindie Nails: I'm A Star Dot Com, Princess Bubblegum & Rave

Press Sample

Jen from Jindie Nails just announced that she will be restocking next week. As most of you already know the Jindie restocks could be a bit challenging and I know some have all but given up on getting your hands on some of Jen's creations. Well there will be some changes! Here is what Jen had to say about her future restocks:

"After a little advice from a *VERY* successful indie that has been doing this WAY longer than I...I have decided that the way I will be doing restocks will go something like this:

The next restock will be sometime next week between Monday-April 15 through Friday-April 20th. I will not be announcing the exact day or time for the restock. However, I will announce just after the restock takes place. I haven't decided if I'll announce just before or not and I'll "play it by ear." I will restock the website spaced a few hours apart, two times per day and I'll be splitting up inventory between the two restocks so that everyone will have the chance at what they wanted. I plan to keep my website open all the times and you'll be able to see all polishes there, even when they sell out. I'll be restocking the sold out polishes about 6-8 polishes at a time. I'll restock those sold out polishes about 2-3 times per month, a few at a time. This is how the upcoming restock will be and all future restocks if this goes well. I think everyone will like this much better!

A list of everything included in the restocks will be listed on the website blog tab before the restock. The Google doc will always have all shades available as well, along with blogger review links for each color."

I have been holding on to this review for a while, I wanted to have some more restock info for you all before I posted it. So in light of Jen's recent announcement, here it finally is!

Hi all! Sorry for the late post today! The day just kind of got away from me, one minute I was doing a little bit of house work and the next thing I know my husband is home from work and I needed to make dinner. Needles to say things just got pushed back. Tonight I am showing you a couple of polishes from Kelara Lacquers. If you have been following me for a while you may have seen the review and swatches from the end of last year already but if you need a refresher or you're new to my blog just click on the link above! 

L is For Louboutin

Purchased By Me
*nothing to disclose

It's Wednesday and you know what that means!! Another ABC Challenge post! Today is the letter L. When this challenge started, I had made out a list for what I wanted to do for each letter. Well I should say I TRIED to make a list, most of my letters have me at a loss, but L was one I knew right away! I have a slight obsession with shoes, not collecting them or wearing them, just looking at them! I use to be a big shoe freak, back in my club hopping days I could rock the highest heals in the worst conditions, rain, sleet, snow, thick sheets of ice, crazy mangled streets, you name it I could do it! (If any of you know what it's like to party on the Landing in Downtown St. Louis you know that even some of the most experienced heel wearing gals have trouble on those crazy cobblestone streets, but I was like a cat!) Then I started working longer hours at the hospital, wearing nothing but tennis shoes and flip flops and partying less. Eventually the deadened nerves in my well trained feet started to regenerate and heels quickly became a thing of the past. Now I just drool over all of the super sexy sky high beauties.Wishing I could manage to pull them off again without the period of torture it takes to grow accustom to them. So my inspiration for this weeks letter, as I'm sure you have guessed by now, is shoes. And not just any shoes but Christian Louboutin's! Über expensive and equally as amazing, known for having some super classy and also super blingie looks and always with the red soles. I only wish I had owned a pair in my crazy heel wearing days. Since I never did, I'll settle for making my stilettos into Louboutin's instead!

I know many of you have seen  or heard about the new FTC Guidelines that have had bloggers changing their formats, if not you can find the guidelines by looking them up on google. I have always disclosed if a product was provided to me but I'm guessing it wasn't black and white enough so I have updated my "Disclosure Tab" and will be linking it in each post. After hours of struggle, and a long string of obscenities that made my husband retreat in fear, I have decided not to do the "disclosure buttons" that many bloggers are including on their pages. I will admit that am in no way a computer nerd but I am usually capable of doing some small/simple things when it comes to my blog,  apparently this task was just beyond my realm. Therefore in the interest of preserving my sanity and my marriage I have opted to just use a basic link. So, again, at the top and bottom of my posts there will be a link to my disclosure page...Press Sample, Purchased By Me, Sponsored Post and /or Affiliate Post. 

Also while I'm on the subject of links, I don't know if any of my regular readers have noticed, but I have been linking previous posts, collections, labels, etc., in my posts. So if you see a a group of words that are a different color, click it! It will direct you to posts you may have missed in the past! 

Ok! Now that that mumbo jumbo is out of the way I have 2 of 5 polishes from XOXO Nails' Naked Truth Collection to show you all today.

Me.Lissa Nail Lacquer: Green Light On The Dock, Ain't No Party Like A Gatsby Party & Beautiful Little Fool

*Free product for review

Tonight I am going to show you some glitter polishes from a very new Indie brand that opened shop up in January. Here is a little background on Melissa, the creator of Me.Lissa Nail Lacquer...

"As a science major and pre-med student, there isn't much room for creativity during my day job. I love nail polish, and have always used it as my creative outlet. I started out doing some nail art and then moved on to some small frankening experiments. Now I decided to launch my own brand as a creative escape in between school and work. I named it Me.Lissa because I really want it to represent the color combinations I love and find fun to wear." 

The following polishes are from Me.Lissa's Gatsby collection and are LE so when they are gone they are gone for good! All Me.Lissa Lacquers are 3 Free.

ABC Challenge: K is for Kids Choice!

Welcome to another day in Kimber's ABC Challenge. The letter K had me a little stumped, I wanted to do some art but I had no idea what to do that would start with the letter K. So I left it up to my niece and nephew, making this a Kid's Choice mani. They picked red so to take the Kid's Choice theme a little further I let one of the kiddos actually do my mani from start to finish! Yes I cheated. I did not create this mani. They are my nails though so it still counts, right? Please be nice to the art work, my 9 year old niece did an excellent job creating her version of ladybugs on my nails! 

*I want to note that the products we used in this mani were provided to me from M•A•S•H Nails for review. I will have an actual full review on the color soon, the Nail Art Pen I reviewed previously in a post that can be found here. Ok now the art...

She even did the clean up too! She's a natural!! 

TIOT: Nails Inc. Leather Effect "Noho"

Hello my polished pals! Welcome to another Try It On Tuesday! I am trying to keep up this week, it felt weird missing last weeks TIOT post. A couple of weeks ago I was at the mall with my hubs and we were just wandering around aimlessly and he goes "Hey! Did you know there was a Sephora here?" I stopped dead in my tracks and I think my eyeballs may have popped out of my head! 

To think I have been passing it by all this time because I never go into JC Penny's! While we were there I came across the Nails Inc. Leather Effects Collection which comes in 3 shades, black "Noho", tan "Soho Mews" and burgundy "Shoreditch Lane". 

M•A•S•H Nails "Fruit Punch" Scented Polish & Nail Art Pens Review

Yet another late post! I had a bust day today so I am just now getting a chance to post this for you all. I was contacted a week or so ago by M•A•S•H Nails to see if I would be interested in reviewing something, of course I said yes! When I received my package I was surprised at all the cool goodies that were in it! I will be honest, when I think of M•A•S•H I think of stamp plates. I actually own quite a few of their plates, but I kinda suck at stamping, so when they sent me scented polish, matte top coat, fimo slices, and nail art pens I was relieved and even more excited to review for them! 

All of the goodies I will have reviewed for you in future posts.

Frakenstain Nail Polish "1000 Corpses" & "Chocolate Covered Ma'Cheri"
