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.

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

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.

Moulin Rouge Nail Polish by Daily Lacquer

Yay! I got my Daily Lacquer nail polish earlier this week! Maggy owner of Daily Lacquer sent me a yummy lollipop and a sweet little message on my receipt. She's such a sweet person. I love her! I bought Moulin Rouge and I'll Fly Away. I love them! For todays blog I will be posting about Moulin Rouge polish. I will post about I'll Fly Away on another post. Moulin Rouge is a glitter bomb to the max! Full of black, red, and gold glitter. It also has cute red and black hearts!  The formula was great. Very easy to apply and for every dip I would get a lot of black and red hearts. I love it! I used Moulin Rouge over two different colors. I wasn't sure what color to use so I did two different one. It goes well with white nail polish too but I wanted to try something different. I used Fierce N Tangy 230 (yellow) from Maybelline color show on one hand and NYC's Mulberry Street 212 (beige) on the other hand. I liked both. Below are the pictures. By the way, I will be updating with better pictures of this later this weekend. I got busy trying to come up with a treatment plan for case study the professor gave me. It was the hardest thing I had to do! Anyways, I just took pictures with my ipad. ^_^

I'll Fly Away and Moulin Rouge with the candy Maggy sent me. Every time I order she sends candy =^_^=  She's so awesome! She has great customer service!

 

 

Cant wait to try on I'll Fly Away

There you have it guys! I can't decide which one I like better. I have never used yellow polish before. I kind of like it. hehe I'm hoping tomorrow I will have I'll Fly Away swatch ready. Toodles!

Lacquerhead's "Bless Your Heart" Nail Polish

It has been a  while since I've blogged about nail stuff. I have been busy with school again with a lot of tests within the last two weeks. I passed all of them. Yay! Today I am blogging about Lacquerhead's "Bless Your Heart" nail polish. I bought the mini bottle because I wasn't sure if I was really going to like it. Well once I used it I fell in love with the polish. It is beautiful! Bless Your Heart is a white creamy based polish with pink and red hexes and red hearts! What I love about this polish is that it is easy to apply and there is no need to fish for the hearts. I kept getting lots of them every time I dipped the brush into the polish. I am definitely buying this polish in the full size. Ok on to the mani, what I did here was a valentines theme mani. I first painted all my nails except the ring finger red. The ring finger I painted white. Then in each red nail I painted half in white. Once that dried I applied "Bless Your Heart." I used two thin coats to get more of the tiny small glitters. The hearts were not a problem. I wanted one heart in each red and white nail because I didn't want the nail to look too cluttered. So any extra hearts I would get on my nail I would remove. For the nail with the white polish I used two thin coats as well. After my nails were somewhat dried I used a pink glitter stripper. Below are the pictures of my mani

 I don't know how that spot got on the nail polish :( also the cute little bow is missing because I have no idea where it fell. I couldn't find it. It was so pretty. It's ok though because I'm buying the full size bottle

 

So here is my mani for my valentines theme. Yes its a little early but might as well do it now since I will be busy next month for neuro in school. It's going to be a very hard class

 This is what the bottle looks like from behind.

 

 

 

So there you have it! I love love love this polish! Next time I will do a mani without the red and just the white.

Daily Lacquers Tink Pink Nail Polish

Today I will be posting 3 different blogs. I have 3 swatches I have done but have not had the time to write about it due to school. I also haven't been feeling in the mood to blog or do anything because my husband is going to be deployed and I'm pretty bummed out about it. I also got into a car accident which caused me to lose my car. Now I am sick with a cold and laryngitis. Not a good year for me. Anyways I have cheered up a little so I'm blogging. The nail polish I am going to be talking about is called Tink Pink and Maggy from Daily Lacquer made it. She had sent me this mini a while back when I first bought nail polishes from her. I never got around to writing about it because I was so excited to try on her Moon Collection. She did an amazing job on the set. She is my favorite Indie polish maker. There are many out there but she's my number 1 favorite and the only one that sells all the polishes I like. She has not made one polish I don't like. They are all beautiful! So her Tink Pink nail polish is absolutely stunning! It is pink full of holo glitters and silver holographic hearts and butterflies. I love the color pink and I love butterflies and hearts! I used two different swatches for this polish. I used Essie Turquoise and Caicos and the other swatch was over black onyx from OPI.

So there you have it. I need to buy the full size bottle because this is one nail polish I want to last. Yes my pictures suck but I don't know why I cant get my cannon to take good pictures.
bye!

Makoto nail polish by Daily Lacquer

Hello! ^_^ Today I will be posting about Makoto nail polish made by Maggy Collins from Daily Lacquer as you all know. Makoto is Sailor Jupiter (Lita Kino) in the Sailor Moon anime.  This nail polish consists of a clear based polish full of gorgeous green and pink matte glitters and holo glitters. It also contains pink hearts and holo moons. I love how maggy mixed up these glitters. Its simply beautiful! The polish was so easy to apply. You get a lot of glitter each time. I didn't even have to phish for the hearts and moons.

When I was younger Sailor Jupiter was my favorite Sailor Scout. She reminded me of me. She was tough and tomboyish like me! And I would wear rose earrings just like hers. My dad even bought me Sailor Jupiter figurine. Sadly I had to throw her away because a puppy I had at the time chewed her up. I was so sad. Oh and today as I was paying for this nail polish at Wal-Mart there was this cute old lady behind the register. She loved the color of the polish I was purchasing. I will blog about that later. Well, she tells me how she loves nail polish and has a huge collection. She showed me her nails and told me how she had bought new nail polishes and couldn't decide which to wear. So she put each one on a different nail with a different design on them. They were so pretty and glittery! She saw my nails with Makoto nail polish and she loved it. It was so awesome talking to her about nail polish. It would be cool to have a grandma like her! My grandparents are in Mexico and it is almost impossible to see them :( Anyways below are pictures of my swatch. I used Makoto over Essie's turquoise &caicos. I used different lightings.

I didn't know what photos to use because I loved all of them lol I took so many. They're not as perfect of detailed as most pictures I have seen from other bloggers but I like them.  hehe. That's it for today. Goodnight! Link to purchase this polish from Maggy is below
