Glitter Daze Flowers Are A Girls Bestfriend And High Rollers Club

Hello my lovely polish lovers! Today's post is from Glitter Daze! This is my first polishes from this brand and I am very much in love already! I'm so glad I got the opportunity to try out this brand and to meet up with the maker of Glitter Daze, Sana two years in a row. I've got two polishes to share with you today, so let's get to it!

First up is "Flowers Are A Girls Best Friend" which is a light peach crelly polish with lots of different colors and shapes of glitters. I really love the variety of glitters that this polish has to offer. The flowers are great, a little big for my nail beds though, but I still think they add an element of fun to this polish. I had to get one on my nails for this photo though because flowers are in the name!! The formula and dry time on this were great! I used three coats with top coat for my pictures!

The second polish I have to share with you is "High Rollers Club" which was created specifically for bloggers and also Daze of the Month subscribers. This polish is STUNNING! It is a gold foil polish with amazing holo! I do not have a gold holo in my collection like this and I am absolutely floored by it. In the shade it looks like just a regular gold foil polish, but when you get this baby out in the sun it shows you a gorgeous holo side that will leave any holo lover breathless! Formula and dry time were perfect on this polish! I used two coats with top coat for my pictures.

Sea Lore Polish Part Of Your World Collection Swatch & Review

Well, well. What do I have for you lovely polish lovers today you ask? Why, none other than some awesome new Little Mermaid inspired polishes from Sea Lore Polish! Jamie, the creator of Sea Lore, and I have bonded strongly over our love for Ariel as well as all things Disney and aquatic. Her polish "Ariel" was in fact what led me to her beautiful polishes in the first place and I haven't looked back since! So today I am sharing with you, the "Part Of Your World" collection that consists of four beautiful glitter topper polishes that you won't want to miss. So let's get to it!

First up is "Kind King Triton", which is a glitter topper in a clear base that consists of holo blue, gold, and white glitters, as well as a beautiful aqua shimmer! I absolutely LOVE this polish! It is perfect in every way, and that shimmer is to die for! I could not stop staring at my nails with this beauty on! I used two coats over Wet N Wild "Teal Slowly And See", with top coat for my pictures.

Next up is everyone's favorite mermaid's best-friend, "Faithful Flounder". This polish is a clear based glitter topper that consists of light and dark blue glitters, as well as yellow glitters, all tied together with a gorgeous golden shimmer! Another stunner in this collection for sure! If you own Sea Lore "Ariel", she needs her guppy "Faithful Flounder", just sayin! I used two coats over white with top coat for my pictures!

Next up is the fun and often disobedient daughter of Prince Eric and Ariel, "Merry Melody". This polish is so pretty and so unique and it just screams Melody to me! It is a clear based glitter topper with orange, peach, yellow and green glitters, that swim beautifully in a peach shimmer! The shimmer however was very uncooperative with my camera, but I tried my best! Just trust me when I say it's beautiful! I used two coats over China Glaze "Too Yacht To Handle" with top coat for my pictures.

Lastly is the very handsome "Enchanted Eric", which is a clear base glitter topper with gold, navy, black and white glitters, as well as tiny white stars. The beautiful part of this polish is it's golden shimmer! I'm just as in love with this polish as I was with Prince Eric as a little girl. In case you didn't know, that's a lot! I used two coats with placement of the stars over a Sephora X red polish that was with the Ariel polish set they released last year. Love it!

Sincerely Polish Bohemian Wonderlust & Glitzies Duo

Hello my beautiful polish lovers!! Today I have yet another Sincerely Polish post for you that features a couple new polishes from the Bohemian Wanderlust Collection and a duo that has been released before, but that will have a restock along with all the wonderful new releases today, August 8, 2014. You won't want to miss out on all of the new things that Karen is releasing today, trust me! So let's not delay any further and let's look at two new polishes from the Bohemian Wanderlust collection.

First up is "Far From Here", which "Is a vintage lavender holographic polish". This color is so unique! I have found myself obsessing so much over jellies lately and this polish is great! I love the holo, as we all probably know by now right? The formula and dry time on this were great! I used three coats plus top coat for my pictures below. My pinky does seem to be lighter, I must have had a lighter hand when applying on that finger and I just noticed it looking at the pics. Sorry!

Next up is another polish from the Bohemian Wanderlust collection and that is "Care Free". "Care Free" is a shimmery, light teal polish with a fine holographic dust throughout. I'm in love with this one. The formula and dry time were great on this as well, and I may need to look into a full size bottle of this in the near future. I used two coats with top coat for my pictures below.

Next up I have for you the Glitzies Duo! I was super excited to get a chance to swatch these two GORGEOUS polishes! The holo in these is amazeballs! First up is "Fields of Gold", which is a polish with lots and lots of micro gold holographic glitters. Not much else to say except, "Wowza!" Love it! Formula and dry time were excellent! I only needed two coats with top coat to acheive full holographic epicness!

(Indoor Light Box)

Lastly for today is the second half of the Glitzies Duo, "Sky with Diamonds", which is the twin to "Fields of Gold", but in silver holo goodness! Again, formula on this was perfectly perfect! Dry time was also great here! I only used two coats with top coat for my pictures as well.

Sincerely Polish Arabian Nights Swatch & Review

Hello my beautiful readers! Today I have another post featuring a new collection from Sincerely Polish, Arabian Nights! These lovely polishes were all inspired by "beautiful Arabian weddings and the stories/folk tales from One Thousand and One Nights, which is also known as Arabian Nights." When I got these pretties in the mail I was so excited to get them all swatched. I ended up staying awake til almost 4am swatching them because I just needed to see them all on my nails right away!! So let's not delay any further, and let's get to the polish!!

First up is "Mystical Wonder", which is a dark blue shimmery polish with scattered holographic. This polish is absolutely stunning, and I am in love with the way it looks on my nails. The shimmer in this polish added with the scattered holo, blows my mind. If the color alone doesn't convince you, the formula and dry time on this were great! I have yet to find a Sincerely Polish color that doesn't have a great formula and color payoff. I used two perfect coats, with HK Girl by Glisten & Glow top coat for my pictures.

Next up is "Sunset of Dreams", which is a gorgeous shimmery red orange polish. This baby is so pretty and bright! The formula was great on this one as well. Dry time gave me no issues either. I used three coats with HK Girl by Glisten & Glow top coat for my pictures.

Next up is the beautiful "Arabian Princess", which is a magenta polish with blue shimmer and scattered holo dust. This one I believe is my favorite from the collection. One, because its pink, and two, because the way this polish sparkles and shines is mind blowing. It is absolutely stunning. Formula and dry time were great on this one as well. I used three coats with HK Girl by Glisten & Glow top coat for my pictures.

(Indoor Light Box Macro, So Gorgeous!)

Next up is "Golden Palace", which is a gold polish with shimmer and scattered gold holo dust. I love the gold holo dust in this one. It really makes the color shine. Very beautiful. Formula and dry time on this were the same as the others, great! I used two coats with HK Girl by Glisten & Glow top coat for my pictures. I could have used three coats to hide a little more of the Visible Nail Line, but I like how this looks in two coats. Very delicate yet it still shines bright.

Lastly for the Arabian Nights Collection, I have "Oasis Fantasy", which is a turquoise polish with gold holo glitters throughout. This polish is very unique to me. I don't own anything like it, and I tend to feel the need to own a bazillion turquoise/teal polishes. I love the way the gold adds a little more to this polish and I think its perfect. Formula and dry time were also great for this polish. I used three coats with HK Girl by Glisten & Glow top coat for my pictures.

(Indoor Light Box)

To sum things up, I love this collection. Sincerely Polish has such great formulas and such gorgeous colors and combinations that I have never been disappointed.

Sincerely Polish Townsville Heroes Collection Swatch And Review


Hello my lovely lacquernistas! Today's post features Sincerely Polish and the new Townsville Heroes Collection. This new set of jelly polishes will be released when their shop re-opens on August 8th! If you haven't figured it out yet, this collection is based on a cartoon that I loved watching in highschool with my very best-friend, The Powerpuff Girls! My son was super excited when I told him that these were Powerpuff Girls nail polishes because he watches episodes on Netflix now. He calls them Ponypuff Girls, no matter how many times I correct him lol. Oh well, he's only three, and it's cute :) Well I am super excited to share these with you, so let's get to the polish!

First up is "Bubbles", which is a sky blue jelly polish with light blue, black, white, and yellow dots, white, black, and holo sky blue hexes. Bubbles was my favorite of the three Powerpuff Girls, and "Bubbles" is my favorite of this polish collection as well. I think Karen captured Bubbles perfectly here. Formula on this one was good. I didn't have to fish for the bigger dots, but I did try to place them where I wanted them on my nails. Jelly polish usually takes a tad longer to dry than normal polish, but for a jelly polish it had an average dry time. I did three coats with HK Girl by Glisten & Glow top coat for my pictures.

Next up we have "Buttercup", which is a green jelly with black, white, and holo green dots, black and white hexes, and holo green hexes and squares. Buttercup was my best-friend's favorite Powerpuff Girl, so this polish reminded me of her when I was applying it, which made me want to run away to Michigan and visit her! Again, Karen captured Buttercup perfectly with this polish. My favorite part of this polish is the holo green dots. I just love them! Formula and dry time were the same with this polish, easy to work with and no fishing required. I used three coats with HK Girl by Glisten & Glow top coat for my pictures.

Lastly in this jellylicious trio is "Blossoms". "Blossoms" is a peach pink jelly with bright pink holo, black and white dots, red holo and pink holo hexes, as well as black and white hexes. This polish, as with the others, captures Blossom perfectly. It's very cute and girly. Formula and dry time on this was the same as the other two, with no fishing required. I also used three coats with HK Girl by Glisten & Glow top coat for my pictures.

(Indoor Light Box)

Overall I really enjoyed this collection. It took me back to high school with my best-friend, back when life was SO much easier. Remind me why I wanted to be an adult so badly back then? :-) Which of these did you enjoy? Let me know in the comments below! If you're looking to buy these cute jellies Karen will be releasing them on August 8th, when her shop re-opens. You can find her shop link here.
