Hare Swanky Soiree Review

It's finally football season!!!! Can ya tell that I'm excited?! As promised, here is my Ohio State Buckeyes mani for their 1st game today. I bought Hare Swanky Soiree from a blog sale because it was Buckeyes colors. Hadn't used it yet, so today was the perfect time to bust it out!

Swanky Soiree is a gray based polish loaded with different sizes of gray and red glitter. I've only used 1 other Hare Polish, but the formula on this was super thick, so I added a few drops of thinner to it. Made it MUCH easier to work with!! I used 4 coats of Swanky Soiree and topped it off with 1 coat of Gelous and 1 coat of Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That topcoat. I'm sure with all the glitter it'll be a pain in the ass to remove, but it's well worth it!! 

The last picture is when the sun finally decided to come out and play. LOL. I love the colors of Swanky Soiree. Now that it's Fall, I'll be grabbing this one quite a bit. Hare Polish doesn't offer Swanky Soiree anymore, but you can find some of her other polishes on her Etsy site. You can also find her polishes on Llarowe. She just came out with a new collection, so make sure you stop by and take a look! If you're not already, you should follow Hare on Facebook. 

Well, I'm off to indulge in more college football! Hope y'all have a great weekend!! Until next time, take care!!! XO

Set of 3 JK Customs Polishes Review

Hello there! I hope you're having a good hump day! I'm crazy excited to share with you my post for today. I've been polish crazy for about a year now, and I've always stuck to basic polish application. I've of course added glitter on top or something very basic. Tonight, I stepped out of my comfort zone and I fell in love with what I did. I'm in a group with the awesome lady behind JK Customs. I saw a pic of the colors, the names and I KNEW that I had to have them. So I wanted to come up with something that I thought was as awesome as the colors and the names. Here we go!!!

The pink one is called Dick Mittens. The teal is called C U Next Tuesday. Lastly the purple is called If You Seek Amy. These are my favorite polishes that I have purchased in a while. I mean who wouldn't love a polish named Dick Mittens?! LMAO!! Each of the colors have a ton of shimmer in them, which I love as well. Let me show you what I decided to do with them.

Even with the last pic being in natural light, the colors are absolutely amazing!!! I started with 2 coats of Dick Mittens and used 1 coat of If You Seek Amy and C U Next Tuesday for the animal print. Not only are the colors gorgeous, the formula on these were awesome as well! This is my very 1st time doing animal print. I have to say I it's so fun!! This obviously isn't your normal animal print colors, but I think it turned out ok being my 1st time. I topped everything off with 2 coats of KBShimmer Clearly On Top Topcoat. These 3 polishes are no longer available, but she has lots more that you can pick up. Check her out on Facebook. You should also definitely check out JK Customs shop. 

Well, that's all I've got for tonight. However, this weekend is the start of college football. FINALLY!!!! I'm a huge Ohio State fan, so I'll be sharing something scarlet and gray with you. Hope y'all have a good rest of your week. Until next time, take care!! XO

Glittering Elements Candy Love and Mermaid Spell Review

Hello there! I promised you the other half of the review from Glittering Elements, and here it is! Tonight I have for you Candy Love and Mermaid Spell. Candy Love is discontinued, but she may be making a come back sometime. I'll start with her first.
Candy Love is a light pink polish that is filled with various sizes of glitter in blue, pink, white and yellow. It has bar glitter in it, which had me a little worried. Since normally bar glitter and I don't get along, but she behaved very well! LOL. Take a look and tell me what you think.....

I was a little worried when I first saw it thinking I would need to use undies for it. But it ended up building up nicely! I used 3 coats of Candy Love and I topped it with 2 coats of KBShimmer Clearly On Top Topcoat. Candy Love was so soft and pretty, very feminine. I liked that it had all the different colors of glitter in it. Formula was pretty good. If you've ever bought from Glittering Elements, she tells you on her Etsy site that she let you add thinner to it if you feel that it needs it. So far in all the polishes I've reviewed for her, I've yet to need to add thinner. Now for Mermaid Spell. I don't even know where to begin with this beauty. It's a light turquoise holo that also has blue flecks in it. You weren't expecting the blue flecks were ya? Neither was I!! I'll start with the pictures as usual and then go from there. 

Isn't it absolutely beautiful?! Out of the 4 that I reviewed for Casey, this is my 2nd favorite for sure! The formula was perfect on this. I used 3 coats, but could've got away with 2 if I wanted to. Then I topped it off with 1 coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top Topcoat. Even with the shot of the bottle, you can see the holographic goodness. Oh and I didn't mention that that picture was taken inside with natural light too! I don't think this could get any better honestly. You can pick this up for $12.50 AUD in the Glittering Elements etsy shop. You will want to make sure that you stop by because Casey is planning a restock for Friday. Just in case you're not already, you should follow her on Facebook so that you can keep up with all her new polishes she has coming out. 

That's all I have for now. I'll be working on getting something up for this weekend. I have a couple Colors by Llarowe that have been calling my name. Hope y'all have a great finish to the week! Until then, take care!!

Glittering Elements Choco-o-block and Electrik Blossom Review

Hello there! I hope y'all are doing well. I've been working a crazy amount of hours, so I apologize for the lack of posts. I hope this will make up for it a little! Tonight I have for you a couple of pretty amazing polishes from my good buddy Casey from Glittering Elements. She is one of the sweetest people that I've come across. Oh, and did I mention that she makes some gorgeous polishes?! The first one I'll show you is Electrik Blossom.

Electrik Blossom is a bubblegum pink holo. It's the perfect shade of pink! The formula was a little thick on this one, but one of the things that I love about Glittering Elements polishes is she doesn't add thinner or anything to them prior to you buying them. So that you can make them just the perfect constancy that is right for you. When I put the first coat on, I was worried about it building up enough to cover my VNL. It covered everything perfectly! It went on perfect as usual. I used 3 coats and I topped with 1 coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top Quick Dry Top Coat. This picture above and the one I'm about to show you is in the shade. 

Even in the shade you can see the holographic rainbows in it! Now comes the full sun!!

As I was driving to work the next day, I couldn't stop staring at my nails! If you're not a fan of pink, I've got something else to show you. 

The other polish that I'm sharing with you is Choco-o-block. It's a chocolate brown holographic polish. I think when you include chocolate and holographic polish, it doesn't get any better!! The formula on this one wasn't as thick as Electrik Blossom. I still used 3 coats of Choco-o-block and 1 coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top Quick Dry Top Coat. I'll tease you with the shade pictures first. LOL

Even with the sun behind the clouds, you can still see how holographic it is. Are you ready?! I'll give you a minute to put your shades on........

You can see that bad boy from a mile away! I normally pick pinks or purples for my favorites, but there was just something about this one. I think with going into Fall, I'll grab Choco-o-block quite a bit. I honestly can't say enough good things about Glittering Elements. She has her shop closed right now due to y'all loving her polishes so much she needs to get caught up on orders. You need to check her out on Etsy. I'm pretty sure you can pick these up for around $12. Once I have a exact price, I'll update here. Don't forget, she's also on Facebook. If you're in the market for a super awesome top coat, go check out KBShimmer. She is currently celebrating 5th anniversary, so she has 20% only at her site.

I hope you enjoyed those as much as I did! I have 2 others to share with you that are also from Glittering Elements. I'm hoping to get them up by the beginning of next week, if not earlier. I hope y'all have a great week!! Until next time, take care!!!

Cult Nails Party Time and Mayhem

Hey guys! If you didn't pre-order the new collection from Cult Nails, you need to get them. They're all gorgeous!! I decided to share with you my favorites from the bunch. Today I'm showing you Party Time and Mayhem. The name is perfect for these colors! I have a few Cults, and they have yet to disappoint in formula and colors. Take a look!

Mayhem is that go to holo topcoat when you need to add a little something to that color that you don't know what to do with. It's absolutely gorgeous! I love anything holographic and this definitely didn't disappoint me. Party Time is a pacific blue color and all out stunning. Even though it's a little brighter, this doesn't have to be limited to just summer. I think this would be an awesome blue for stamping. For my mani I used 2 coats of Party Time and 2 coats of Mayhem. Then I topped it off with 1 coat of Ain't Nobody Got Time For That topcoat from Digital Nails. You can be the judge at just how awesomely gorgeous these are!!

The sun decided to come out and play for a few seconds for the 2nd picture, so I grabbed my stuff and ran outside to check these out in the sun. It's AMAZING!! Formula was perfect and the drying time was also great! I've heard that Party Time may stain some, so I guess I'll have that to look forward to once I take it off. But it's totally worth it. I've got one more inside shot to show you that I took with my flash. 

I was so excited when I received these yesterday in the mail. I absolutely loved the names. These 2 are just a couple of the Road Trip, Anyone? collection. The collection features 3 amazing bright and fun colors and 2 topcoats. I'm sure you'll see me playing around with the rest of the set quite a bit. If you are interested in getting any of these, take a look at Cult's website. Now that the pre-sale is over, you can find the set for $62. If you're only interested in getting a couple of the colors, you can get the lacquers for $12 each and Mayhem $14. They're totally worth the price, believe me! You can also check out her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CultNailsLacquer. 

Well, that's all I have for you today. I'm getting ready for another busy week. I hope you guys have a great week. Until next take take care!!

Zoya Miranda and Stevie Pixie Dust Review

Hello there! Hopefully you're doing well. Today I have for you a couple of Pixie Dust polishes from Zoya. Some people aren't a huge fan of the textured polish thing, which is fine. Zoya makes my favorite of the pixie dusts/liquid sands. Their formula is not nearly as rough as some of the others. I like to not feel like I'm wearing sand paper on my nails. Stevie is a gorgeous dark lilac color and it is loaded with sparkle. Miranda is a dark mauve color and is also filled with tons of sparkle. When the sun hits them, they sparkle so much that they make me feel like I'm wearing crushed gemstones on my fingers. LOL. Formula was pretty good on both of them. For my mani, I only used two coats of each and then since I wanted a smooth finish, I topped it with two coats of gelous and 1 coat of Kbshimmer top coat. Here, take a look at the pictures.

We've been having some crappy weather here in Ohio, so I had to take my pictures with the flash. But it popped out for a brief minute while I was at work, and they're beautiful in full sun!! You can find all the different shades of Pixie Dusts on the Zoya website. They just came out with the fall colors, and they're so pretty, I can't wait to get my hands on a couple. The price for these are just $9 a piece. You should also follow then on their Facebook page. They are always having sales and stuff going on. 

Well, that's all I have for you today. Pretty short and sweet. I'll work on something else for y'all this weekend. Have a great rest of you week and take care!!

Nail Nation 3000 Love Bites and Silver Holo Gasm

Hi guys. Sorry for the lack of posting lately. Work has had me crazy busy. I had a friend that wanted to see these polishes, so I thought I'd share them with all of you as well. Tonight I have for you Nail Nation 3000 Love Bites and Silver  Holo Gasm. You're in for a treat with these!
I'll start with Loves Bites. This gorgeous polish is a dark fuchsia color with just a hint of holo hidden in there. I think one of the best parts of this polish is it's completely opaque in just one coat!! That's right, just one coat!!

This polish was an absolute dream to work with. Like I stated above, this is just one coat. Of course I couldn't leave well enough alone, so I had to add just a little something to Love Bites. 

What you looking at for my accent nail is called Nail Nation Silver Holo Gasm. It's a silver full coverage glitter that is filled with scattered and linear holographic glitters. With a name like that, you just know it'll be good right?! LOL. This also was perfect to work with. I used just one coat of Silver Holo Gasm. I topped everything with one coat of Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That topcoat. We've had horrible weather where I live, so the middle picture is taken with flash. Isn't it gorgeous?! Even in natural light, it's super pretty! 

You can find Nail Nation on Facebook here. If you're interested in getting any of her amazing polishes, which I know you are, you can find them here. Love Bites is on sale right now for just $12 for a 10ml bottle, and Silver Holo Gasm is also on sale. She has multiple sizes of it starting at just $5. If you're looking for a good topcoat, you definitely need to pick up Ain't Nobody Got Time For That. You can find it here. 

I hope you're having a good hump day. Until next time, take care!!!!
