Savoie Artisan Lacquer The Siren and Dream Catcher Review

Good evening! Hope you had a good hump day! Mine was spent shoveling snow and trying to keep warm. Tonight I have for you the 2nd half of my Savoie review featuring The Siren and Dream Catcher. Let's get started shall we?


I'll start with The Siren. Siren is a gorgeous deep turquoise holo polish. The color is so intense, it's just gorgeous! I used just 2 coats of The Siren and followed it up with 1 coat of top coat. It was dried very quickly as well. I had issues getting the holo to come out and play, but I promise you it's there.  That's what you get for having 10 inches of snow on the way. LOL


Lastly, I have Savoie Artisan Lacquer Dream Catcher. I won it in her most recent giveaway, so of course I had to share it with you! 


Dream catcher is a holo top coat that you can use over any color of polish. I used 2 coats of Zoya Odette with 2 coats of Dream Catcher on top. Again, formula on this was perfect! Just look at those rainbows! Isn't it crazy?!


Make sure that you're following Savoie Artisan Lacquer on her Facebook page. If you haven't tried out any of her polish yet, you're missing out! You can purchase Savoie polishes off her storenvy site. She offers mini and full size bottles, but you'll want to grab those full size with as much as you're going to use them. 
That's it for tonight. I hope you all have a great rest of you week. Until next time, take care!! XOXO

LUSH Lemony Flutter and J.R. Watkins Hand & Cuticle Salve Review

Hi there! I have a weekly ritual with my husband Mr. Glitter Galaxy, that I push back his cuticles and moisturize his hands really well. Where he works, he has to deal with chemicals that are very drying to his hands. Even if he comes up during the week as a surprise, he says it's time to do his nails. It's nice that he enjoys having it done as much as I love doing it.
Tonight, I'll be sharing with you a comparison between LUSH Lemony Flutter and J.R. Watkins Hand & Cuticle Salve. I made a trip to LUSH a couple months ago, and heard about all the rave for Lemony Flutter and was told that it was a must have. So I bought it and have been alternating between it and my cuticle oils. While we were out at Cracker Barrel last weekend, my husband found the J.R Watkins and wanted me to give it a try. So, here we go!



As you can see from the pictures above, they're both very different. So, I was curious to see which would work better. 



I normally don't goop it on like I did above, I was just trying to show you what it looked like applied so that you could see the difference. The Lemony Flutter is thicker and stays that way. The J.R. Watkins pretty much melts into you skin as soon as you put it on. Once I applied both of them before I pushed the cuticles back, I asked Mr. Glitter Galaxy which he liked better. He stated that he preferred the LUSH Lemony Flutter because it had more substance. Once I pushed back his cuticles and we were done, I was surprised that his answer changed. Afterwards Mr. Glitter Galaxy likes the results of J.R. Watkins Hand & Cuticle Salve better because he felt like it absorbed better. Both were on his nail beds for roughly 5 minutes. Nail Care is so important, and should be a part of your manicure regiment. This winter has absolutely killed my nails. If you're interested in getting LUSH Lemony Flutter, you can find here for $16.95. You can also find the J.R. Watkins Hand & Cuticle Salve here for $8.99. 
That's all I have for tonight ladies. I hoped you enjoyed this for something a little different. Tomorrow I'll go back to working on my own nails so that I can finish up the rest of my Savoie review. I hope y'all have a great Monday, and until next time take care!! XOXO

Savoie Artisan Lacquer It's All For Blue and Dipped In Diamonds


 Hello there ladies! I hope you're staying warm wherever you are! I know this cold has taken it's toll on my nails lately. Tonight I have for you a couple polishes from Savoie Artisan Lacquer. First up, will be It's All For Blue.


It's All For Blue is a beautiful blue polish that reminds me of a perfect blue sky! The formula on this was great! I only needed 2 coats for full opacity. The dry time on this was crazy good as well! My top coat of choice was 1 coat of Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That. This is the perfect polish to do just about anything with! I love everything about It's All For Blue!


Hopefully you noticed up above that I said I had TWO polishes to review. Once I had this on my nails, I knew exactly what I wanted to put over top of it. Let me show you Dipped In Diamonds.


Dipped In Diamonds is absolutely gorgeous! It is a glitter topper that has tons of silver micro holographic glitters. Doesn't it look like I have diamonds on my fingernails?! I guess you can tell I'm pretty excited about this one. Formula on this was also perfect! I only used just 1 coat for my mani. It was the perfect thickness as well, not too thick or too thin. I see myself wearing this over just about anything! 


If you don't own any Savoie Artisan Lacquer what are you waiting for? No matter what you decide on, you will love it as much as I do mine. You'll want to make sure that you follow her on Facebook that way you can be the first ones to grab her new polishes. She also has her polishes ready to purchase on Storenvy. I do have a discount code for all of my followers to use at checkout. Just enter GlitterGal and you will receive 20% off. I have 2 other polishes from Savoie Artisan Lacquer to share with you soon.

Glittering Elements Little Snow Angel Review

Hello there! I hope you're staying warm where you are tonight! It's down in the single digits where I am. Tonight I'll be sharing with you another Glittering Elements polish. This one is called Little Snow Angel. I received this as a gift, and I absolutely LOVE it!! I of course had it on while at work today, and I received so many compliments on it. When I tell people that someone made it, they are amazed! I'll show you the pictures and they'll speak for themselves!


For my mani, I wanted to see what it looked like over a couple different colors. Since both of my Zoya polishes were untried, I decided to show them a little love. I was quite pleased with the outcome! 


I used Zoya Seraphina and Zoya Julie. Zoya Seraphina is a silver metallic color and Zoya Julie is a very light purple metallic. This is the first time I've worn metallic polishes, and I really enjoyed them. I used 3 coats of each and topped them off with just 1 coat of Glittering Elements Little Snow Angel. Glittering Elements Little Snow Angel has a gorgeous semi clear base that has lots of iridescent pieces of glitter and it's finished off by lots of holo sparkle! I completed this mani by topping it with 1 coat of Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That top coat. 



I intentionally made the picture on the bottom blurry so that you could see all that Little Snow Angel has going on. The formula on this was a breeze to work with also. I think the thing I love most about it is, you could wear it over any color! Glittering Elements just did a restock early this morning, and she still has some of this available. You can find her polishes on her etsy shop, and you'll want to make sure that you follow her on Facebook page as well. 
Well, that is all I have for tonight. I hope you all have a great rest of your week. Until next time, take care! XOXO

Glittering Elements Unicorn Disco Review

Hello everyone! First off, I just want to say thank you so much to all my new followers. Each new like means so much to me! You guys make me feel like I'm not doing this for nothing. If you don't own any Glittering Elements yet, you need to get some ASAP! Not only does she make gorgeous polish, the woman behind the polish is just as beautiful as the polish she makes!


Glittering Elements Unicorn Disco is a beautiful sky blue holographic polish. Formula and everything about Unicorn Disco was perfection! Dry time was pretty amazing as well! For my mani, I used just 2 coats and topped it off with 1 coat of Ain't Nobody Got Time For That fast dry top coat from Digital Nails. 



I intentionally made the bottom picture blurry to capture all the rainbows that this polish has! I haven't worn many blue polishes because I have a hard time pulling them off with my skin tone. Unicorn Disco definitely makes me excited to try all the blue polishes that I have in my collection. If you're in the market for some awesome top coat, stop by Digital Nails and check out her etsy shop. I've tried quite a few different ones, and hers is one of my all time favorites! If you aren't already following Glittering Elements, now is a GREAT time to start! She is having a restock on her etsy shop on Wednesday Jan. 22nd at 9pm AEST. Not only can you get her restock info for this week on her Facebook page, you can also join in on the giveaway she has going on as well. 

That's all I have for today. But I'll be sharing some other Glittering Elements polishes that she sent me for my birthday this week on my blog. Until next time, take care! XOXO

Mentality Kacy Review

Hello ladies! I'm beyond excited to share with you my review tonight. I know I've said that before, but I was literally jumping up and down when I got this in the mail!! Tonight, I'll be sharing Mentality Kacy with you. Now do you see why I'm so excited?! I'm going to jump right into it.


Mentality Kacy is an absolutely gorgeous purple jelly that has blue and red flecks in it. I can honestly say that I don't own anything like it in my entire collection. 


For my mani I used 3 coats of Mentality Kacy and topped it with just one coat of top coat. The formula on this was a breeze to work with. It builds up nicely, and I could have probably got  away with using just 2 coats. Dry time on this was super fast as well. If you click on the picture and make it bigger, you can see the red and blue flecks better. 


I can proudly say that my Mentality stash is growing and I'm so glad to add this one to my stash! If you're into stamping, Mentality polishes make perfect stamping polishes. Not only do they offer Kacy, they offer tons of other finishes and colors as well. If you're a fan of Matte polishes, you HAVE to check them out! You can find them on Facebook as well as their big cartel site. If you're interested in Mentality Kacy, which you absolutely should be, you can find her with The Jelly Collection for $6.50. That's it for tonight! I hope you enjoyed my review for this as much as I enjoy Kacy! Until next time, take care!!!! XOXO

Zoya Pixie Dust Carter and Tomoko Review

Happy New Year!! I've been sick for 2 weeks, so this hasn't been a good start to the New Year. Hopefully you're staying warm with the crazy weather everyone is having! On to the polish!
Tonight I have for you Zoya Pixie Dust Carter and Pixie Dust Tomoko. They're gorgeous colors, but I'll let you be the judge of that for yourselves!


I would describe Carter as a royal purple that is textured. Tomoko is the perfect color of champagne. Since I'm probably one of the few who doesn't like textured polishes, I decided to top coat both of them. The Pixie Dust isn't nearly as rough as the OPI liquid sands, which between the two I really prefer the Zoyas. Formula wise they were perfect! I was worried about Tomoko being too light and not having it look ok with my skin tone. I absolutely LOVED it so much it was my favorite of the two! Here's some pics for you!



Since I have to top coat almost everything, it definitely makes the colors look brighter. I can't explain how much I enjoy these! I wanted to do something a little different, so I decided to do some polka dots. Then once I was done, I wish I would've just left them alone. LOL. Like I said above, the formula on these are perfect! I did 3 coats of each and topped them with 2 coats of Gelous. They look gorgeous in the sun! Zoya is having a buy 3 polishes and just pay $12 shipping from now until Sunday January 16th. So, if you hurry you can still get a great deal! Make sure you follow Zoya on their Facebook page. You can also go straight to their website. The Pixie Dusts are just $10 each. I know this was a quick post, I just wanted to share with you what I finally did with my nails. My antibiotics and my pillow are calling my name. Until next time, take care and stay warm! XOXO
