Marbles for Polish Sweet Tooth Collection!

 Hi y'all! I have some super cute polishes to share with you all today! I got these Marbles for Polish polishes sent to me to review! I was so excited to get this, they're neon AND Holo, I love all that bright and sparkly-ness in them. Perfect for summer! Unfortunetly it took me a few days to get around to playing with them due to Mister Sun hiding his head in the clouds. I am getting so tired of rain and storms. But anyways, lets get on to the review! 

Creations by Lynda Hope Springs Eternal Collection!

 Hi ya'll! I've got some new polish to share with you all today! These are all from Creations by Lynda and will be released within the next few days! And I highly recommend you run and grab them as soon as you can if you're looking for some new spring polishes to add to your collection!! There are six polishs total in the collection, 4 creme colors, and 2 glitter toppers and I just LOOOVED all of them so much. 

 First is April Showers which is described by Lynda as a blueish gray with a hint of purple and a slight shimmer from spectraflare. To me it's a purply blue.. kind of a periwinkle maybe? A pale dusty periwinkle. The second photo below shows it closer to the color it is in person, but my camera was having a hard time deciding if it was purple or if it was blue. This is two easy coats shown with no top coat. Application was easy and it dried quick. There was a bit of pulling on the first coat.. but that could have just been me, or possibly the mini bottle brush. It evened itself out just fine on the second coat easily enough though, so no big deal at all. If it weren't for that, I almost could have gotten away with just one coat with these! Also, I promise the shimmer is there in person, but it's very subtle and my camera just refused to pick it up. (same goes with all of these colors!)

LA Colors - Candy Sprinkles!

Hi y'all! Something SUPER exciting today! I finally finally FINALLY got this polish!! This is something I've been looking for, for well over a year now. I started seeing them pop up around christmas time 2013. And have been looking ever since. I'd pretty much given up hope that I would ever find my own bottle. Well, I was out shopping before Christmas, went to sallys for a few things and thought 'i'll run next door to family dollar cause I'm low on top coat..' Welp! Got in there and they apparently don't sell my top coat there anymore :( BUT, as I was ready to leave, defeated that I didn't get what I needed, I see a shelf of gift box sets, and individual polishes. Once I spotted the LA Colors display? I forget ALL ABOUT that top coat cause OMG a WHOLE SHELF full of Candy Sprinkles, that super hard to find color that I thought I'd NEVER get. But there it was! So of course I grabbed it up. (I should have took the whole shelf full, I know) and I grabbed one other one called 'Blue Icicle' which is basically the same thing.. but in blue. Such pretty colors! And while I don't do swatches here a lot of colors I bought myself, well.. I needed posts for the blog and as soon as I got home I just HAD to paint my nails with this, so here we are! 

For a short little review - I was ALMOST disappointed with how this looked in the bottle compared to pictures I'd seen. And even more so when I painted on the first coat; First coat was so sheer and had so little glitter I thought I was going to need 5+ of them to get full opaqueness. Then I did the second coat. And I FELL IN LOVE. It looked even better in person than in pictures! So so much better! Second coat cause total opaqueness and there was SO MUCH GLITTER. Much more glitter than I excited. I love it! Soo, this is two coats shown in the picture with one coat of Sally Hansen Instadri top coat. (The one in the red bottle)

Hope you all enjoyed this! Let me know what you thought in the comments below! 

Creations By Lynda Toil and Trouble Duo Review!

** These polishes were sent to me free of charge in exchange for my honest review** 

 Hi y'all! I have these two Creations By Lynda polishes to show you all today! These are from her limited edition Toil and Trouble Halloween duo and I loved them both so much! And no I promise I'm not just saying that ;) These were amazing to work with and the colors were perfect! 

The cost of these polishes are about $10 each or $20 for the set, the price is slightly higher than her polishes normally are due to the linear holographic pigments in them. The set also comes with a separate bag of black cat and orange pumpkin holo glitters.  But lets get started! 

Sally Hansen Miracle gel swatches!

*These items were sent to me free of charge for my honest opinion***

Hi y'all! today I have three shades of the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel line to share with you all which were sent to me by Sally Hansen to try out and review here for everyone. I really want to grab some more of these colors to be totally honest! 

These were new for me to work with, I've never tried anything like them. The closest I've tried to gel is the Sinful Shine line of polishes which is not at all gel but just a gel shine effect. (Which aren't any shinier than other polishes if you ask me, but I don't get the craze of OMG IT'S SO SHINEYZ I NEED THE SHINY THINGS. So I don't see the shine as well as some of you do unless it's so shiny that it's really really obviously more shiny than another polish, lol) 

This line of polishes though, while they're not true gel polishes, they do not require a UV/LED lamp for curing. The top coat DOES have UV properties and as such, it's not recommended to use these polishes in direct sun or other uv light. The way they work, is the base or 'color' coat has one ingredient, and the top coat has another and when used together, it makes the color coat 'set' and dry. I did seem to have trouble with them drying on their own but pretty instant with the top coat. 

By the way, the top coat? While it's not a quick dry, it IS dry within a matter of minutes. And I've heard others mention that if you happen to have a lamp already, or want to sit out in the sun (if at all possible, winters coming, there might not be much sun!) for a minute or two, that it helps to set things and dry it even faster, though is totally optional. 

One thing I found a little odd about these polishes is even hours later, they don't feel fully dry. they're dry to the touch but they still feel slightly sticky and like they could dent. And in some cases, they can be dented but... they smooth themselves right back out!! Totally crazy right? I love how it was like this and that I could bump my nails against something and not worry about denting. So even if you use these and they still feel wet hours later, they're not! Totally dry, just squishy and dentable but fix themselves. And anyways, lets get on to the colors I got to show you all! 

Marbles for Polish Review!

Hi y'all! I have some swatches to show you all today from Marbles for Polish, a rather new indie brand! She sent me three polishes to review for her, two full size, and one mini, and I'll just start off by saying that I definitely recommend her polishes! I had no issues with them at all and the colors are so cute. But lets just get to the pretty colors and look at them individually! 

Goodnight, Baby star glitter topper. 

New Collection from Lacquered Bliss Polish

Hi y'all! today I have the newest collection from Lacquered Bliss Polish to share with you all! The collection is based on famous paintings and painters and will be released in her shop on January 15th, but is available for pre-order today! So if you see anything you like, be sure to check it out! 

Lacquered Bliss Polish Swatchs

 Hi y'all! I have some indie brand swatches for you today! I've recently become a regular swatcher for Lacquered Bliss Polish which means I'm doing swatches for her store and get samples of her polishes sent to me. This time the package included full size bottles of her new years polishes, along with a mini set of polishes that will be releasing in January. I'll be showing you those as well but not until closer to their release, I think. But I DO have the new years polishes to show you today, which you can already find for sell in her shop. 

**These Polishes were sent to me free of charge in exchange for my honest review**

First is my favorite new polish color. Not even kidding. This is Holo Day Party a minty greenish blue. This actually reminds me more of a Cyan blue than a minty green, but either way, whatever you would call the color, I LOVE it. It's so so pretty. There's shimmer to it, and theres little holo-y glitters in it. It's a little sheer, but applied and built up easy enough. Dry time is also AMAZZING on this one. This is three coats shown with no top coat. 

 Also, Lara asked if I could also swatch the polishes she sent me matte as well as they're own normal finish, so I thought I would include these as well just for fun. This is Holo Day Party with a Matte Top Coat. 

This one here is Take Charge and while I'm not loving it as much as the other one, I by no means hated this one, I'm just not big on these shades of purple. This is a medium-ish purple scattered holo polish. I really wish that my camera would pick up holo's much better than it does, but it actually did okay this time around. It's not overly holo, but theres just enough to add that holo sparkle and would be perfect for a new years night out. This one is also rather sheer on the first coat seems like it's going to take LOTS of layer to become opaque, BUT, that's not the case. It also had amazing dry time just like the first. This is three coats shown with no top coat. 

Again, the matted out version just for fun since Lara wanted Matte swatches as well. This is the same as above only with Matte Top Coat added. Don't ask why my pinky is more matte than the rest, I have no idea. I even tried a second coat on one other finger to see if it helped. Nothing happened. So my pinky just wanted to be special. 

What do you all think of these polishes and colors? Will you be buying them? 

NYC New York Color 16H Lip Stain Swatch And Review

 Hi y'all! Today I have something a little different for you. I'm not really a make up blogger, so I have no idea how to really do these, but I was offered to try these out by NYC New York Color and I couldn't turn them down. Maybe if this turns out, I could do these more often, but lets not get too ahead of ourselves just yet, haha. 

 I was sent three of the NYC 16H Lip Stains and I really like the colors of these that I got. I might actually use them quite a bit whenever I actually wear make up. This is what the lip stains look like without the lid, it's like a little lip marker. The tips are pretty stiff but after using them a couple times they loosen up. So if you have these and don't like te stiffness of the tip, just use them a few more times and it'll soften up. 

 Arm Swatches. THe swatch part is the part I'm not too sure about so hopefully these look okay. These are listed from left-right.

Rock On Ruby, Persistent Pink, and Unstoppable Red

And now we're gonna see some lip swatches

The first one is Persistent Pink, which is a much more subtle color than the other two. Keep in mind that these color may be different depending on the natural color of your lips as they're slightly sheer. Some more so than others it seems. This one in particular looked a lot different on the lip than I expected. But I really like it! It went on easy, and this is my first experience with a stain so I don't know if all of them are the same, but with this one, when it goes one, you have to wait a few seconds for it to dry and kind of set. 

This one is Rock On Ruby which is a red on the lips. It looks like a darker red in the tube and on the arm swatch, but on my lips it was a much more true red and i loved it! I really think it was the perfect red for me, which I've been looking for for a LONG time. I'm not even kidding. 

Last but not least we have Unstoppable Red, which in the tube looks much more like a coral-y orange-y pinkish red color but on the lip it's just a straight up pink. I really like the color of it and the color pay off of it, but it's definitely much different than I was expecting. 

I have no idea on the wear of all of these as I didn't test that, I just put them on and wiped them right back off to get the swatches. They did clean off easily enough though, much easier than some lipsticks I've tried, and they don't smear around all over your face while you're trying to clean them off like some lipsticks can, either. I really like these over all though. and hope you enjoyed this post!
