Born Pretty Holo Polish #10

I came across Born Pretty's holo nail polishes when I read Very Emily's blog. I had seen the polishes before on facebook by someone who posted about their new holo polishes but I was skeptical. There were no pictures of swatches so I decided not to buy them at the time. The price was awesome though. $5.59 and free shipping was a deal! I have other holo's made by indies and they are $12-$14 with shipping included. So times passes by and I come across Very Emily's blog. She had swatches of all the polishes available by Born Pretty and I was satisfied with how they looked. I bought #10. The polish looks bluish when you put it on but when the light hits it, it becomes a turquoise color. Very beautiful bright color and the holographic effect its awesome! Not bad for a $6 polish. There are 12 other shades available at Born Pretty store. I also bought holo polish #2 which is a reddish shade. I will post on that one later. Application for this polish was smooth and it dried fast. Totally satisfied with this polish. I hope to get the rest of the collection soon. To buy Born Pretty holographic polishes visit http://www.bornprettystore.com/holo-polish-c-268_106_389.html
My fingers look nasty because they were super dry. Even with Burt Bees they were still wrinkly. At the time I took this I was super stressed out with school and I was not drinking enough water.

Delush Polish Eggs-travaganza

Here is another polish from Delush Polish I had bought back in April. Adriana made this for Easter along with two other cute polishes. Eggs-travaganza is a "creamy teal with pops of red, orange, green and iridescent shimmer!" This is a very cute polish. Application was smooth. I had no complaints about this polish. The colors went well with my scrubs from school lol You can buy this polish on Adriana's website delushpolish.com Full size bottles are $8.95. I don't know if this polish is still available. It does show on her website. Try it out if you like this polish!

Delush Polish Ocean Sapphire

Here is another polish by the lovely and sweet Adriana maker of Delush Polish. This polish is called Ocean Sapphire and let me tell you, this polish is so beautiful. The photos I took do it no justice. I love how it changes color. One minute it looks blue and another minute a greenish color. "Ocean Sapphire is Stunning blue jelly blend with tons of holo and iridescent glitters!" Believe me the name of this polish fits it perfect because it does look like the colors of the ocean. The application of this polish was a little bit on the thick side and had a little trouble with it but I added a few drops of nail polish remover and it worked great. Since I bought a mini bottle the polish tends to get thicker easily. I would recommend buying the large bottle. It will last you longer.




Delush Polishes are available at delushpolish.com Mini bottles are $4.50 and large bottle are $8.95

Delush Polish Pinata Confetti

It has been a very long time since I have done any nail polish reviews. I have however done a lot of nail polish swatches for some indies for instagram. It just seems faster to do than blogging about it. I have been super busy with school and I just haven't had the time to blog about these swatches. I am currently on a 2 month vacation from school so now I have the time. :) So Delush polish is a new indie brand I came across on Instagram. I don't know how long Adriana has been making her polishes but I found out about her when she started following me on Instagram. Her polishes are so cute! I decided to go ahead and buy some of her polishes. I bought 3 from her. This one is called Pinata Confetti. It is a polish packed with lots of sparkly glitters. It shines beautifully in the light and in the sun. I cant help but stare at my nails hehe. I used this topper over Revlons Sassy #510. The application was smooth and with each dip, the brush was packed with glitters. I love this polish and the quality. This topper would go great with any color!





You can buy these polishes at Adriana's web site delushpolish.com Mini bottles are $4.50 and Large bottles are $8.95

Voodoo Vixen nail polish by love that lacquer!

UPDATE: unfortunately she no longer sells this polish. She closed her shop


It's bee a VERY long time since I have blogged on here. Like always, I have been busy with my occupational therapy assistant courses. I am starting to really like this career field. So I have a new indie polish to show off! She just started making indie polishes and is selling some right now. I met on her instagram and she is very creative! I love her new line of polishes. This polish is called Voodoo Vixen. It is a black nail polish with tiny silver glitters, neon pink, green, and blue glitters. It also has some white diamond shaped glitters. The polish applied smoothly. I did not have any problems with it. No need for fishing for the glitters. Some glitter settled at the bottom in one of the pictures but nothing a little shake cant fit. Even without shaking I was able to get a decent amount of glitter. I applied 3 coats and topped it off with a top coat. I love her cute heart shaped labels! So now for the pictures!


 The green polish is called My Secret Garden. I will post pictures of this swatch soon




So there you have it! You can purchase these polishes and more on her ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Voodoo-Vixen-by-Love-that-Lacquer-/261186768435?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccff1ce33

Daily Lacquer's Helios nail polish

Doing a quick blog today. I hardly blog anymore because 1 I haven't had much time lately, and 2 I don't have many followers or readers. Just a few readers like my friends but they get to see some of my swatches on facebook or instagram. Here are more pictures of Helios. I am in love with this nail polish. It is so beautiful! You can swatch this with so many colors! I had originally done a orange and beige mani with Helios over it but it chipped the next day because NYC polish is cheap like that. haha. So, since St. Patrick's Day is coming up I decided to do a green and beige mani with Helios over it. A little description of Helios....It's filled with beautiful iridescent rainbow-shifting glitters of all shapes and sizes.  It is also full of gold flecks which gives this polish this distinct gold shimmer.  Helios is based of the Sailor Moon Anime. He is a Pegasus that Chibiusa falls in love with. He always comes to her rescue when she calls to him. Every time Helios appears he is surrounded by gold shimmer and sparkles so that reminds me of this nail polish. He also transforms himself into a handsome young man. Below are pictures of Helios and my swatch of the nail polish. I tried to get good pictures of this but it was hard to get you to see just how beautiful this nail polish is. It is so beautiful! Maggy did an amazing job! I am in love with this polish hehe =^_^=








So there you have it! Man I love this nail polish!! I need to get a better lense for my camera so I can do macro shots. To buy this polish you can now buy Maggy's polish at her new website. Link below

Now go buy it!! I recommend this polish. You wont be disappointed! Also I forgot to mention, it applies very easy.

Black and Pink Heart Glitter Mani

This weekend I made a cute Valentines mani. Everyone is doing a red, white, and pink mani for Valentines so I decided to do something a little different. Yes there is pink glitter in mine but I don't have the typical red and white colors. I personally love how this came out. I have done a few nail art designs and haven't really been satisfied with them. This one I am very satisfied with. I love how the pink glitter sparkles in the light. Pictures are below








I need more practice cleaning up the edges of my nails. Overall this is the best nail art I have done.
