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! 

JOSS Lacquer: "Alternate Dimension", "Flash Diamond" & "Sudden Impulse" review and "Desert Sunset" preview.

Hello loves! Today I have a new Australian brand being stocked at Color4Nails to show you, JOSS Lacquer. These holos are a little more on the thin side, formula wise, so thin coats should be used to ensure you don't flood your cuticles. I didn't use a top coat on any of these but I would recommend using one to make the manicure last longer. These do tend to pull a little also so make sure that the your first coat is sufficiently dry before applying the next one.

Hi loves, how are we this lovely Monday? What I have for you right now is the second part of my Renaissance Custom Lacquers! I posted a few others from the new collections by Renaissance a couple of weeks ago. They created a set of shimmers and a couple of new glitters that are part of their core line, so if you missed that post you can find that here. 

KKCenterHK Angel Wing Water Decals

Press Sample/Gifted to Me

Hello loves! I have been meaning to post some KKCenterHK nail art manis for a loooooong time now. I had a bunch of nail art decorations for review and they got placed in a bin that was overlooked as the crap on my polishing table piled up! Ooops! :/ So I will have a few nail art designs coming up soon! 

Today I have some water decals to show you. I've used nail art stickers and nail tattoos but I've never used water decals before so I wasn't sure what to expect.

Hi loves! Sorry about the late post, I'm feeling a bit under the weather. My husband was sick last week and I fought strong and hard but I think my body is giving up on that fight. My head is so congested and my throat it scratchy, I think it has a hold on me! :'( Oh well, the show must go on. 

Tonight I have two multichrome polishes from the new Seven Kingdoms collection, a collaboration between Celestial Cosmetics and Color4Nails!

Heeeeeeey! How is everyone? Good I hope. I missed last weeks TIOT but today I have a most epic polish to try and make up for it! Before we get into the sparkly goodness of this lovely lacquer I want to give an update on the state of our TIOT Facebook photo album. Last week I tried to rearrange a photo that was out of place, once I did that it scrambled a lot of the photos. I have been unable to place them in the right order ever since. I have contacted Facebook 5 times and haven't gotten so much as an "F YOU we won't help" from them, therefore I will be creating a brand new Album for TIOT. I was thinking maybe starting a new album every month; just in case something like this happens again so I won't have to redo them all again. Any thoughts? Ok that's enough talk, now on to the polish! 

OPI "The Show Must Go On"

Gifted to Me

Hello loves, welcome to another Try It On Tuesday! I was stumped for this week since I have some Alanna Renee's that I purchased from Color4Nails recently. I also just got my first KBShimmer polishes too, so needless to say I was torn! That is until I received a package from my girl Allison of Nail Pattern Boldness! She sent me one of my biggest lemmings so I knew I just had to use it for this weeks TIOT 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.

Well this next review is from Nail Pattern Boldness, the Indie that started it all for me!

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! 

Leo The Lion...so Rare & Radient

Happy Friday everyone! Today is my birthday, so I had to do a special mani for it!

When my nephew was visiting a couple weeks ago he picked out China Glaze Rare & Radiant. It's been said that it's a dupe for Chanel Peridot which I would love to get but refuse to pay $$. Anyhow, since Peridot is August's birthstone I knew when little man picked it I was going to save it for my birthday mani!

(I made a lightbox last night. I may need to add another lamp, but I'm not sure. You be the judge)

I  did 2 coats of  R&R and it was completely opaque.

(These 2 pic were not taken in the light box obviously)

I love the change of color, In the bottle it shifts green, gold, blue. But I had a very hard time trying to capture the blue shift because it wasn't as predominant once applied.

I had to make a lion! It wouldn't be a proper Leo mani without it!

Then I stamped the Leo Zodiac Sign with Mash-34

I added some dots and a clear rhinestone to each.

To finish I topped them all off with SV.

I know this post wasn't very detailed today but I haven't been to bed yet and I need to catch a couple hours of sleep today.

Anyway, that's the birthday mani.

What do you guys think of the pictures? Better with the light box?  No?

TTFN!
