Zoya Magical Pixie Dust Collection Swatch and Review

*Press Sample* Hello and Happy Hump Day Friends! I've been away for a short break, my health has kind of been kicking me down lately but I'm not letting it stop me! I received the Zoya Magical Pixie Dust collection today, and couldn't wait to put them on! Let's get started shall we?

The Magical Pixie Dust Collection consists of three beautiful textured polishes packed with holographic glitter in three shades. I really hope that they deepen this line of polishes because HOLY MOLY, they are gorgeous.

The first polish I have to show you is Cosmo. This is described as "a silver crystal sparkle, textured PixieDust with mega hex iridescent particles."

I practically fainted putting these on today. This is a beautiful silver, with chunks of hex glitters making this unlike anything I have ever seen before.

This is two coats of Cosmo with only base coat underneath.

Next up in the collection we have, Lux.

Lux is described as "a rose quartz sparkle textured PixieDust with mega hex iridescent particles."

Again, Lux is unlike anything I've ever put on my nails.

This is two coats, with only topcoat underneath.

Lastly in the collection, we have Vega.

Vega is described as "blue opal sparkle, textured PixieDust with Mega Hex Iridescent Particles."

Vega comes out a little darker on the nail then it looks in the bottle.

Again, two easy coats with only base coat underneath.

When I first looked at these I thought that application was going to be a nightmare, with glitters packed into the base of different sizes and textures, there was bound to be something up with the formula right? WRONG. I was SO impressed with the formula of these, two EASY coats. Vega if I had been careful I would have been able to get a one coater.

Wearing these polishes made me have this feeling in my stomach, kind of like a first crush type of thing.

If there is anything making you doubt buying these, don't let it fool you. These are absolutely stunning in the bottle, on the nail, even when you run your finger over the nail after it's dried. Perfection is one thing Zoya is known for and they didn't fail me this time.

You can purchase the Zoya polishes here.

Which is your favorite from the collection? Will you be purchasing?

Until Next Time!

Dollish Polish I'm A Material Girl & Dino-Mite Yoshi

*Nothing To Disclose*
Good Morning and Happy Friday Loves! I hope everyone is going to have a wonderful weekend. This weekend will be filled with swatching, knitting, and hanging out with my boys! I've been a little down the past week or so, I'm hoping things pick up soon.

Today I have for you two of my most lemmed Dollish Polish polishes. I'm A Material Girl and Dino-Mite Yoshi. I bought these as a birthday present to myself last year and just now put them on! Let's take a look shall we?

First up is I'm A Material Girl. I fell in love with this polish when I saw it on Chloe's Nails Blog. It is the perfect mix of pink and black in a light pink jelly base. You all know I love me some pink polish and this I had waited months to get before it was finally restocked.

I'm wearing two coats of I'm A Material Girl over Sally Hansen Xtreme Bubble Gum. Topped with Seche Vite of course.

I love love love this polish. It's going to be going on my toes a million times this summer!

Next up is Dino-Mite Yoshi. A gorgeous glitter topper filled with light green, silver and red glitters.

I layered one and a dabbed coat of Dino-Mite Yoshi over China Glaze Holly Days. Holly Days is one of my favorite dark greens in my collection. And if you all know me well enough you'll know I have a Dinosaur OBSESSION.

What do you think of these two polishes? I might have to admit that I'm A Material Girl is one of my absolute favorites.

You can find Dollish Polish here and on her facebook here.

KBShimmer Let's Get Star-ted Swatch

*Nothing to Disclose* Hello Friends! I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend, and what a superbowl right? Hahaha, just kidding. Anyways, today I have for you KBShimmer, Let's Get Star-ted.

If any of you have seen my previous haul posts, you'll know that KBShimmer is one of my all time favorite indie brands. The formula on all of her polishes is out of this world, and the color combinations are to die for. I really can't wait to see what they come up with this spring.

Let's Get Star-ted is a white crelly base with black stars, matte blue. black and purple hexes. The formula was wonderful on this, two easy coats followed by Seche Vite. If I had layered this over a white polish I guarantee the outcome would have been much more vibrant but I love the way white crellys look on their own as well.

What do you think of Let's Get Star-ted? Do you own any KBShimmer? Tell me which ones you have! I'de love to hear!

You can find KBShimmer on their website here as well as their etsy shop here. You can also follow them on Facebook to stay up to date with new releases here.

Until Next Time!

The Nail Junkie Cupcake over 27 Polish Pinkie Promise

*Nothing To Disclose*

Hello and Happy Monday! Today I have the second part to my swatch of Pinkie Promise which you can see here. I thought the perfect topper to Pinkie Promise would be The Nail Junkie Cupcake. This polish was released last year for Valentines Day and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.

I've loved The Nail Junkie since she first released her line. You can see my previous posts of Fish, Flamingo, Candy Corn and Watermelon. Every single one is so unique and different, everything I love in an indie.

Cupcake is full of round pink and red glitters and holo in the base. I love love love it. One thing with all of my Nail Junkie polishes is I store them upside down to ensure glitter dispersal.

For this I used one and a half dabbed coat of Cupcake over Pinkie Promise. I didn't do any moving of the glitters so what you see is what came off the brush. Topped with Seche Vite.

What do you think of this combo? I loved it and wore it for 3 days, which for me is a long time;) You can find The Nail Junkie polishes here, and what is so great is she is now offering to make your own polish, with your own custom label.

Don't forget my giveaway is going on and ends on Friday! You can enter here. Also, make sure to follow me on Facebook because I hit over 1,000 likes I'm getting a large package together for a giveaway there as well!

Do you own any Nail Junkie polishes? Which is your favorite?

Until Next Time!

Twenty Seven Polish (27) Pinkie Promise

*Nothing to Discolse*

Hello and Happy Sunday Friends! This weekend was well spent, lots of time with family, got swatching done, and finished one of my knitting projects. Swatching and knitting have been my two outlets for anxiety and give me so much relief. It's nice to have something to turn to when I'm feeling worked up and down in the dumps. But enough of that, today I'm bringing you a swatch of Twenty Seven Polish, Pinkie Promise.

I first discovered Twenty Seven Polish from who better than my friend Kimber at Kimber's Lacquer Korner. Kimber's blog is so inspirational and a lot of times my wallet has hated me because of her gorgeous swatches. I've been lucky enough to become friends with her, she is just as sweet as can be. This polish is gorgeous, so let's get right into it!

Pinkie Promise is a soft baby pink polish with a bit of a frost to it. What I love about this is in different areas of the light it had a different shift of pink. Something you usually find with frost polishes is they have a lot of streaking, this was very minimal and Seche Vite seemed to even it out.

For this swatch I used 3 sheer coats to get full coverage. The formula was incredible, no glooping, completely smooth. Another thing I really love is the brush. It was stiff but still flexible enough for me to get a good line with minimal clean up. Of course, topped with Seche Vite.

I'm always a huge sucker for anything pink, so this polish was right up my alley. With Valentines Day around the corner this is a perfect polish to have in your stash. You can find Twenty Seven Polish on etsy or on Facebook.

What do you think of Pinkie Promise? What are your favorite shades of polish?

Don't forget my giveaway is ending in a few days and you can enter here to have a chance to win an entire Color Club Halo Hues collection.

Tomorrow I'll be back with a post with something I layered over Pinkie Promise so make sure to hit the follow button to stay tuned for that!

Until Next Time!

Purple Holographic Butterfly BornPrettyStore WaterDecal

Hello my loves and Happy Friday!! TGIF! Do you have any weekend plans? This weekend I'll be spending lots of time with the family and of course, swatching! I've just hit 800 friends on my facebook, I'll be doing something special there so make sure your a friend there as well as follow here because my giveaway is still going until January 31st!

Today's manicure consists of a little bit of sponging, holo topcoat and water decals I received from BornPrettyStore, I can't wait to show you so let's jump right in!

I love the way this turned out, in real life it is even more beautiful. I used Sation Tardy Tart and sponged a little Sinful Colors Candy Coated.

After the sponging I used two coats of Northern Lights Holo Topcoat on top and used the Butterfly Water Decals, which are actually no longer available on the site, as I've just found out:( and then topped with Seche Vite

The sponging didn't come out exactly as I had hoped, but I still think it made the perfect base for this mani.

What do you think of this? I think it's simple yet beautiful. You can use my code BUL91 to receive 10% off of your order!

Until Next Time!
