Happy Friday everyone!! Today I have another new to me brand out of Australia brought to us once again by Color4Nails! If you haven't already gone by Color4Nails website you really need to check it out! There are so many great brands that can be hard to obtain outside of their country of origin! Today I have Celestial Cosmetics, a brand I have been dying to try since I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed! 

Polish TBH "Dark & Difficult Times" & "Pumpkin Pasties"

Press Sample

Today I have 2 polishes from the new Diagon Alley collection from Polish TBH to show you. I was really excited when Christian hinted that she was creating a Harry Potter themed collection for fall and these do not disappoint! As a Potterhead I need them for the theme but as a lacquerhead, in my opinion, I need them because they are absolutely stunning!

Hey all, happy Wednesday! Today I have some Glam Polish to show you! I was thrilled when Sisi from Color4Nails told me she was going to be stocking Glam Polish. I have wanted to try GP for a while and Color4Nails was the first US stockist that would be carrying this brand!  Woohoo!

Perfect Holographic H4, H7 & H8

Press Sample

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. 

Mish Mash Challenge: Untried Technique "Fan Brush Nails"

Press Sample

It's Wednesday and you know what that means, it's Mish Mash Challenge day!! Today's challenge is to use a technique I've never tried before. I have a few techniques that I really wanted to try, one stroke being one of them but ain't nobody got time for that! I needed sufficient time to actually practice before I decide to do a full mani like that. So one of the next techniques I have been meaning to get to is fan brush nails. 

RBL Aqua Lily

Purchased By Me

Real quick Try it On Tuesday post... since I'm running super behind! Recently I was saying how my biggest lemming is Rescue Beauty's Aqua Lily! Since it has been discontinued I was really sad I would probably never find it! I had actually seen one on a blog sale for $35 a few weeks ago, I whined and whined so my hubby said he's get it for me for my birthday. I emailed the gal right away only to find out I just missed it! I was HEARTBROKEN! Well it had still been on my mind a few weeks later and when I said I would love to get it for my birthday one of my lovely readers offered to sell me her extra bottle at normal retail price! Yay! I got to squash a lemming and hubby didn't have to hear me whine about it anymore! LOL Birthday wish fulfilled! 

Zoya Fall 2013 Cashmere Collection

Mish Mash Challenge: Metallic

Purchased By Me/Gifted To Me

Hello loves, happy Wednesday! I have another really quick Mish Mash Challenge post today, I promise that I will take my time on these posts soon. I'm still playing catch up on review posts and still a bit under the weather so I'm still just kind of zipping through the Mish Mash posts, but hey it's on time this week! 

I was looking forward to doing this day in the challenge and had a specific mani in mind. When I came down to it I wound up doing something completely different! LOL

Marc Jacobs "Jezebel"

Purchased By Me

Hey all, it's time for Try It On Tuesday once again! Last week the new Marc Jacobs Beauty line launched at Sephora, so of course I played with all of the nail polishes! I just wish I had remembered to actually take photos of the store display while I was there. DUH! There were several from the 24 that I wanted but since I'm not rich I settled on just one for now. 

Jindie Nails "Hex On the Beach", "She Blinded Me With Science" & " Betty's Fetti Milkshake"

Press Sample

Hi loves, tonight I have a post featuring the latest Summer Jindie's. Two of these are from the Summer Chic Collection and one is a Summer Limited Edition polish. I'm still not feeling 100% so this is going to be short and sweet and I'm just going to jump right into it.

Mish Mash Challenge: Tape Mani

Press Samples

Purchased By Me/Gifted To Me

Hey everyone! I know this post is several days late but I had to get my reviews caught up and I really had a hard time getting any inspiration for a tape mani I haven't done before. When I finally got around to doing my nails for this post I had a couple things in mind but I was having one of those days then nothing worked the way I planned it. So when all else failed I opted for something I'm familiar with! So I did a Studded Striped Gradient.

Rain City Nail Lacquer "Sleepless Collection"

Press Sample

Today I have the Sleepless Collection from a brand new Indie, Rain City Nail Lacquer. This brand and collection, if you haven’t guessed yet, are both named for the rainy city of Seattle, Washington, where these were also created !  

Jindie Nails Mod Quad Glitter Toppers from the Summer Chic Collection

Press Sample

Hello loves! I haven't been feeling very well, I think I have the birthday blues! I always dread this time of year and it's just around the corner. Blah! So since I was feeling less than social for the past several days I stayed in the house and got a lot of swatching done! Yay for swatches! I’m almost completely finished with my review swatches, now I just need to get motivated enough to write up all the posts for them! Some of the review swatches I got done were these babies! Jindie Nails Mod Quad glitter topper collection is part of the Summer Chic Collection. As you can guess by the name, it consists of four glitter toppers in true Jindie style, meaning they are jam packed full of a variety of glitters! 

Wing Dust Collections "Feel The Burn"

Gifted To Me

For today's Try It On Tuesday I am using an amazing polish from the Summer Collection by Stephanie of Wing Dust Collections that has not yet been released. As soon as I received the package of goodies and I saw this bad ass polish I had to wear it ASAP!!! This color is so intensely pink it looks like my fingertips have pink flames on them!!
