Zoya Matte Velvet Collection

Hi guys! I hope you're doing well! We got a couple inches of snow where I am. I have a real treat for you guys tonight!
This past week, Zoya released the Matte Velvet Collection again. If you don't have any of these, you're really missing out. I'm usually not a huge matte polish fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed these! I'll show you and you can be the judge yourself.


The green is Veruschuka, the rose in the middle is Harlow and the purple is Savita. I have a couple others, but decided on these 3 for tonight's mani. 


I used 2 coats of Savita for the base color. The first coat was very streaky, which can be normal with some matte polishes. The second coat leveled everything out perfectly. For my top coat, I used Cult Nails Wax That. I can't tell you how much I love this color. I plan on wearing this purple A LOT!!! For the dots, I used 1 coat of Harlow and 1 coat of Veruschuka. 


I paid a lot of money for these from a blog sale, lucky for you though you don't have to! Zoya decided to bring these back for a little bit. If you want these, I wouldn't wait and head over to Zoya's web page and pick them up. Right now they're only $9 which is way better than I paid! Make sure that you also follow them on their Facebook page. They are always having great deals going on. 
Well, that is all I have for tonight. My husband decided to surprise us and come home for the night, so I'm off to enjoy him being home. I'll have something to share with you guys soon. Make sure you check back!! Until then, take care!! XOXO

KBShimmer When the Doves Sigh

Hi guys! I'm sure by now you've been noticing some of the indies are coming out with their holiday collections. KBShimmer came out with hers, and I'm in love as usual! I have a couple indies that I call my favorites, and I'm sure y'all know that she's right up there! Tonight I'll be sharing with you When the Doves Sigh. I had to cut all of my nails back due to some breakage, so I'm in the process of them growing back out. Here we go!!!


When the Doves Sigh has a gorgeous gray base and is absolutely LOADED with magenta, turquoise and blue glitter. There are all different types of shapes in this polish. Including, squares, circles, hexes, micro glitter and mini bar glitter. Boy, that was a mouth full! Normally I steer clear of polish with bar glitter, but this one and I got along just fine. 



For my mani I used 3 coats and topped it with 1 coat of gelous to make sure all the glitters were covered. To finish it off, I used my normal KBShimmer Clearly On Top Topcoat. Formulation was perfect as usual with KBShimmer polishes. I can't say enough how much I love this polish! I think the colors look absolutely amazing together. I'd love to see When the Doves Sigh in some polish jewelry. Since I know y'all will want some, make sure you stop over to KBShimmer's webpage. You can also find her on Facebook
I hope you guys enjoyed this review as much as I enjoyed this polish. I'll be back soon with something else to share with you guys! Until next time, take care!! XOXO

Revlon Parfumerie Autumn Spice

Happy Halloween!! I hope you had a great night where you are. The weather here was sucky, but my kids got tons of candy even if we all got soaked! Tonight I have for you one of the Revlon scented polishes. I found them at CVS, and of course I had to try them out. This is the one that I went with.


First off, I just have to say I enjoyed this polish enough that it makes me want to go and get the others! Autumn Spice is a perfect shade of brown with almost like an orangish gold micro glitter thru out. It is absolutely perfect for Fall! The scent was pretty amazing as well. I could smell cinnamon and all the spices that you expect to smell this time of year. The formula on this was spot on. I had no issues with it! For my Autumn Spice mani, I used just 2 coats and topped it off with 1 coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top Topcoat. 


If you haven't picked up any of these Revlon Parfumerie polishes yet, run don't walk to your closest CVS and pick some up! Normally I don't get super excited for drug store polishes, but with all that Autumn Spice has going on I really enjoyed it! That's all I have for this Halloween night. I was hoping to do something with a glow in the dark polish, but I ran out of time. I hope y'all have a great start to your weekend tomorrow! Until next time, take care!! XOXO

Glittering Elements Countess LE

Hi ladies! I received some mail from across the big pond and I had to share at least one polish with you right now. I'm going to be sharing with you Countess which is a Limited Edition. I think this is the perfect shade for the fall. I'll show you and let you be the judge.


This is the perfect mix of burgundy and purple. Casey recommends that you use a base coat because this beautiful polish is a stainer. So I listened to her and used Glisten and Glow Stuck On Blue. The formula was good as it always is with Glittering Elements. I used 3 coats and topped it off with 1 coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top Topcoat. 




Even with the skies being overcast, you can still see the gorgeous holographic rainbows coming thru. If you are interested in finding Glittering Elements, which you should LOL you can find her on etsy, as well as Facebook. Even though Countess is a Limited Edition, she has plenty of other beautiful polishes to choose from. I hope you have a good rest of your week. Until next time, take care! XOXO

Jindie Nails Defeat It SE

Hello ladies! I was able to snag a Jindie Nails Defeat It Special Edition during her restock for it. I was drawn to it because it was going to a good cause. She was donating part of the sales to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. I also liked it because I LOVE thermals and it had my two favorite colors in it, pink and purple! Let's jump right in and get started shall we?!
Defeat It is a pink/purple thermal that is loaded with different sizes and colored circles. It also has some hexes in it as well. This polish had a little bit of everything in it! When I was cold, it was purple. When I was warm, it was pink. The formula was good. I did place the bottle upside down so that I didn't have to fish for the larger glitters. I used 3 good coats and I also did the dabbing method to make sure that I didn't have any naked nails. LOL I wanted some sort of glitter on each and every nail. On to the pictures!!



The weather has been pretty chilly where I am, so I ran my 3 fingers under some hot water to show you the thermal aspect of this polish. It's pretty cool!! Now on to the outdoor pics! 



I was pretty excited when I got #51. It was my hubby's football number in high school. I have nothing negative at all to say about this polish. If you look at the bottom of my outdoor pic inside the bottle, you can see a little blue glitter hangin out. I saw that and thought it was pretty cool. LOL. If you don't have any Jindie polishes, you definitely need to get some. You can find her on Facebook as well as her webpage. Since this was a SE polish, it isn't available anymore. However, I'm pretty sure she has some more thermal polishes in the works for ya. Until next time, take care!! XOXO

Chaos and Crocodiles Narwhals Are Unicorns Too Review

Evening guys! How's your week going so far? I started my second job this week, so it's been a little hectic. I finally snagged this polish from the last Chaos and Crocodiles restock, and I was so excited when I did. Tonight I'm sharing Narwhals Are Unicorns Too from Chaos and Crocodiles. I had to wait thru two restocks to finally get this baby, so I was practically jumping up and down when I got it!
I'll get the normal stuff out of the way now so that you can enjoy this polish as much as I do! Narwhals is a light aqua crelly polish that has turquoise and gold holographic glitters in it. If that wasn't enough, there is also some holographic shimmer in it as well. The formula was a little thick, but I think with a drop of thinner it would solve that. I used three coats of Narwhals and topped it off with KBShimmer Clearly On Top Quick Dry Topcoat. Are you ready? Here we go!!




Isn't it awesome?! Even though we're going into fall, I'll be reaching for this quite a bit just because I love it so much! I think next time I'll set it upside down for a little longer to try and get the gold glitters to come down a little more. If you aren't already, you can follow Chaos and Crocodiles on Facebook. Since I know you'll want some of her polish, this is where you can find her shop. You'll want to make sure that you follow her on Facebook since that's where she posts all the restock info. She posted some super cute pics of polishes that she has coming out soon. 
That's all I have for ya tonight. I did also want to mention that I'm having a giveaway over on my Facebook page. Just look for the giveaway tab. This weekend is the start of the new season of The Walking Dead. I was able to snag Dollish Polish's LE during her last restock. So, I'll be using that and of course I'll share it with y'all. I hope you have a good rest of your week. Until next time, take care! XOXO

Digital Nails Stupefy Review

Hello there! I hope that you've had a good weekend so far! Mine is going pretty well. Tonight I have for you Stupefy made from none other than Digital Nails. The mastermind behind Digital Nails asked if she could send me a polish to review, and of course I said yes!!! I haven't met a polish from her that I haven't liked. Here we go!
Stupefy is a blurple (a mix between a blue and a purple for those that don't know) linear holo that has little blue flecks in it. The flecks are between a blue and pink depending on the light that hits it. The formula was a little thicker on Stupefy, but it was normal with everything that she has going on. Take a look at the pics!


As you can tell this is inside using natural lighting. Isn't it gorgeous?! For my mani I used 3 coats of Stupefy. I could've got away with only 2 coats, I just applied an extra coat out of habit. I topped Stupefy off with 1 coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top Topcoat. Ready for this baby to come alive? Here comes the outside pics!!



See what adding lots of sun does to this? Almost makes you want to pop on a pair of sunglasses! It's absolutely beautiful! I also think the name is pretty cool too! If you're interested in picking up any Digital Nails, which I totally think you should, you can find her shop over on Etsy. Not only does she make amazing holo polishes, she also has a couple polishes that she has made to help raise money for Alex's Lemonade Stand. I bought both of them, they are stunning!! Once you have any of her polishes, I KNOW you'll want to follow her on Facebook
I hope y'all enjoyed Stupefy as much as I did! Hope you have a great rest of your weekend! Take care!! XO
