Grace-full Love Sparkles Nail Polish

Happy hump day! Hopefully you had a great day! I'll just say I'm ready for a fresh start for tomorrow! Tonight I have for you the other new to me indie I promised last week. I'll be sharing with you Grace-full Nail Polish called Love Sparkles. Let's begin shall we?
Grace-full Love Sparkles is a beautiful pinkish red jelly that is loaded with silver flakies. The two go together perfectly!


For my mani I used 3 coats of Love Sparkles. I could've got away with 2, but I did 3 out of habit. Formula wise I couldn't ask for anything better. I love the squishiness of this!!!


My macro picture shows the silver flakies perfectly! This will be such a fun color to wear during the warmer months, it would even be great for a pedicure color! You can find Grace-full Love Sparkles on Ella Ann Cosmetics bigcartel site. Love Sparkles is currently on sale right now for just $9, which is a great price!! You will want to make sure that you follow Ella Ann Cosmetics on her Facebook page as well as her Instagram. She lists all her upcoming polish releases as well as if she is having a sale. Grace-full Nail Polish also has holographic, cremes, glitter bombs as well as micro glitter polishes. So they literally have something for everyone! 
That's all I have for tonight. I'll be back soon with some more goodies to share with you! Until then, take care!! XOXO

Sayuri Day Dreamer

Hi there! Hope you're still out there. Things have finally calmed down between moving and a new job, thank goodness! Tonight I have for you a new to me indie, Sayuri Nail Lacquer. This is an Australian indie brand that I'm so glad I got to try! Let's get started.
Day Dreamer is from the colorful character collection. It's a beautiful turquoise  that has purple shimmer as well as a light holo finish. This puppy was camera shy! I sat and was amazed at how intense the color and everything was in the bottle, but it was being extremely shy.


For my mani I used just 2 coats of Day Dreamer. Formula was absolutely perfect on this! I finished it with a glossy top coat. Since I generally do my swatching at night, all of my photos will be using artificial light. 



This is the best shot of the holo as well as the purple shimmer! I loved everything about Sayuri Day Dreamer. There are 6 other polishes in this collection, which you can pick up from Ella Ann Cosmetics. You can find her on Facebook, Instagram as well as her bigcartel site where you can find everything from polish to bath and body products. You can pick up Day Dreamer for $11.50. I'm already looking at which other ones I want to add to this one. So I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Now that things have gone back to normal, posting should be getting back to normal. I'll be back in a couple days to share with you another new to me indie. Until then, take care!! XOXO

MDJ Creations Review

Hi there! Hope you had a good week! Tonight I have some MDJ Creation polishes to share with you. Since there's so many, let's get started.
I'll start with Utopia. Utopia is a gray jelly polish that is filled with multi chrome rainbow flakies. That was a mouth full, but man is it a gorgeous polish! I have quite a few flakies, and this one I fell in love with! Utopia is one of my favorites!


For my mani I used 3 coats of Utopia and topped it with topcoat. Everything about Utopia is perfect from the dry time all the way to the formula. 


Next I have Green Meadow. Green Meadow is a mint green polish that has a rainbow of different colored glitters. This is just perfect for spring!


For my mani I used 2 coats of Green Meadow. I didn't have any issues and it was a breeze to apply. 


Up next I have Angel of Music. Angel of Music is part of the phantom of the opera collection. Angel of Music is a beautiful white polish that is full of holographic micro glitters.


For my mani I used 2 easy breezy coats of angel of music. I had no formula issues with this one. If you're a lover of white based polishes like I am, you'll definitely need this one!


On to the glitter toppers! I'll start with Fancy Pants. This is such a fun polish! It's in a clear base that has pink bows, pink mustaches, holographic squares and holographic hexes. There is also various shades of pink glitters in different sizes. 


For my mani I used 3 dabbed coats of Fancy Pants. I did sit the bottle upside down so that the glitters would be easier to get out. I was able to get a couple bows out, but the mustaches eluded me. But next time, they will be mine! 


Next in the glitter toppers, I have heart ablaze to share with you. Heart Ablaze is a clear based glitter topper that has pink and gold holographic hexes, tiny gold glitter bars, purple circles and a rainbow of micro glitters. 


For my mani I used 2 dabbed coats of heart ablaze. Formula and dry time on this one was great! I also set the bottle upside down so that I could get some of the larger circles out. 


Lastly, I have cupcake sprinkles to share with you. Cupcake sprinkles is a clear based neon glitter topper that has neon micro glitters as well as silver holographic hexes. 


For my mani I used 2 coats of cupcake sprinkles. Formula and dry time on this was stellar. No issues at all. 


One of the things that I love most about MDJ Creations polishes is that I've never had any issues with them what so ever. Formula is always perfect on them. Her glitter toppers are some of my favorites, just because of how versatile they are! You can use them over top of any color and make it look completely different. You can find MDJ Creations on Facebook as well as Instagram. Her shop is located on etsy, where you can find all of her amazing polishes as well as some of her jewelry. Her shop is currently closed while she locates a new printer, but it shouldn't be long. I'm already picturing what other neon color I can wear cupcake sprinkles over. That's all I have for you tonight. Until next time, take care!! XOXO

Chirality Latex Tactical Shield and Shleee Polish Slimer

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope you're having a great day so far. I painted my nails green and made corn beef and veggies, so it was a good day! Tonight I have for you a 2 in 1 review post. Let's start with Chirality Latex Tactical Shield. Chirality sent this to me to review and I couldn't wait to use it! This is the first of these that I've used. Let's take a look!


Since I had to cut my nails down yet again, this was perfect! It was super simple to use and there was no annoying odor or anything. This would be perfect for water marbling or even stamping. This contains natural rubber latex and water. If you're allergic to latex, please do not use!!


This is just apply and peel when you're finished. I was getting texts when I was applying this, so it was quite comical trying to do normal things while this was covering my finger tips. If you're in the market for a latex product to help with clean up, give Chirality a go. You won't be disappointed. 
Lastly I have Shleee Polish Slimer. This is one of her newer polish that she just released and since it was Ghostbusters related, I knew that I had to have it. 


For my mani I used just 2 coats over top of Essie Shake Your $$ Maker. Slimer is a green jelly that has neon green diamonds, stars, hexes, holo hexes and gold flecks. This is so fun! You can use it by itself, or over something. Formula and dry time was terrific. I've purchased several Shleee Polishes and I've never had a formula issue with any of them. 



You can find the Chirality Latex Tactical Shield for just $5 on their big cartel site. So it's a great price!! You can find Chirality on Facebook as well as Instagram. Shleee Polish can be found on Facebook, Instagram and you can find all her polishes to purchase on her etsy site for just $10. You can't go wrong with either of these indie makers. Chirality also offers several polishes to choose from as well. That's all I have tonight. Until next time, take care!! XOXO

Sassy Polish Animal House Collection Part 2

Happy Monday to you! It's almost St. Patrick's Day, and I can't wait! Perfect excuse to pinch my kids and get away with it. LOL Today I have for you the rest of the Animal House Collection from Sassy Polish. There's just 4 polishes left, so let's get to it!
First up I have Thank U Sir. May I Have Another? This one is sun reactive and my sun has been hiding behind rain clouds what seems like forever, so I wasn't able to get that part to come out and play. Thank U Sir is a baby blue jelly that has small iridescent bar glitters, tiny blue micro glitters as well as a dusting of holo. Whew, that was a mouth full!


For my mani I used 3 coats of Thank U Sir. May I Have Another? Formula and dry time on this was perfect. 



If you're a fan of sun reactive polishes, I have one more for ya! Again, my sun wasn't playing the day of swatching so please keep that in mind. Our next sun reactive polish is Oh Boy, This Is Great! This is a super pretty light lilac jelly that also has a dusting of scattered holo. 


For my mani I used 3 coats and topped it off with my topcoat. If you're not a VNL fan, you can obviously layer this over top of undies. Dry time and formula was again stellar!



Now come my favorites!! If you're a fan of thermals like I am, boy do I have something for you! I have 2 to share with you, but let's start with I'm A Zit! Get It? This beauty is a purple base that has flecks of gold through out. 


For my mani, I used 3 coats of Sassy Polish I'm A Zit! This one had a slightly thicker formula, but it was still a breeze to work with. 



Now comes the thermal part! I've been trying to find a way to get my hands warm enough so that it would show since water doesn't work well with me. LOL when all else fails, pop your hand into a hot oven!! If you look, you can see that the tips are a lighter shade of purple! This was my 2nd favorite of the bunch. 


Lastly I have for you my absolute favorite!! This one is called Holy S#*t!! This one is also a thermal that is a blue jelly with blue micro glitters, gray hexes, light blue holo hexes and some holo as well. WOW!!! This one is jammed packed with everything but the kitchen sink!


For this one I also used 3 coats of Holy S#*t!! I can't even begin to say how much I love this polish! Everything about this was perfect!



Now to show you in transitional state. It's just as good as when it's cold. 


I wore this for a few days after I swatched it and introduced a friend to what thermals are. She was amazed! When my husband asks me if I am cold, I just have him look at my hands. LOL Like I mentioned above, this is all part of Sassy Polish's Animal House Collection. This is available NOW on her storenvy, for just $34 for the entire mini set and $58 for the full size. If you purchase the whole collection, which you absolutely should, you get a free bottle of double secret probation. If you missed out on the review of the others, you can find it here: Animal House Collection Part 1. You can find Sassy Polish on Facebook as well as Instagram
That's all I have for today and I hope that you stop by and give Sassy Polish some love. Until next time, take care!! XOXO

Sassy Polish Animal House Collection Part 1

Hi there! Hope you're having a good start to your week. Tonight I have for you another new collection from Sassy Polish. This one is called Animal House, based off the movie obviously. I do need to apologize for the shape my cuticles are in. I was cut with a box cuter at work, so it's on the mend. Let's get started shall we?
First up, I have Toga! Toga! Toga!. It's a white jelly that has small iridescent bar glitter in it as well as tiny little rainbow glitters.


For my mani I used 3 coats of Toga! Toga! Toga! Even though normally I'm not a fan of bar glitter, I had no formula issues or anything. Dry time was also very good. 



Aren't those little glitters just perfect?! Next up I have Double Secret Probation. This polish is free if you purchase the entire collection, which is well worth the money! I'll provide the details at the end of my post. Double Secret Probation is a white jelly that has holographic glitter in it. It also has a beautiful pink flash to it as well. This one hands down has been my favorite of them so far!!


For my mani I used 3 coats of Sassy Polish Double Secret Probation. Everything about this polish was perfect! 



Next up we have 7 years of college. This one is a turquoise holographic beauty! This one is also one of my favorites!


For my mani I used just two coats of 7 years of college. Formula and dry time on this was also perfect!



That has to be my favorite shot of 7 years of college! It is just gorgeous!! Almost done, still with me? Next up I have Is It Supposed 2 B.....This Soft. Sassy Polish has made this one a peachy pink thermal. When it is in it's warm state, it's a beautiful nude peach. 


For my mani I used also just 2 coats of Is It Supposed 2 B....This Soft. I wasn't able to get my hands warm enough to get it to turn, but driving in my husbands car the next day, sure enough it changed. My hands were all dry, or I would've taken a picture. Keep an eye on my blog and I will post a transitional picture so that you can see it change. 



Lastly, I will finish up with Flounder's 10,000 Marbles. LOL I did get a kick out of the name. This collection will make me want to watch the movie for sure! Flounder's is a clear based glitter topper with blue micro glitter and a rainbow of small circle glitters. This was another one of my favorites!


For my mani I used 2 dabbed coats of Flounder's 10,000 Marbles over top of Is It Supposed 2 B...This Soft. This would be so easy to use over any color of polish. 



The Animal House Collection  is available NOW in full size for $58 as well as $34. If you purchase the entire collection, you get double secret probation for FREE!!! I still have some sun reactive polishes as well as some thermals to share with you in Part 2. You can find Sassy Polish on Facebook as well as Instagram. If you're interested in purchasing this collection, you can find her on Storenvy. I'll have the rest of the Animal House Collection up very soon! Until then, take care!! XOXO
