Duh Nail Polish "Sweet Spring" Collection Swatch and Review

**Press Sample**

Hello Beauties and Happy Thursday! I apologize for the absence but thank everyone for the well wishes on instagram. My family has been sick, myself included after having a seizure so I haven't had much energy. But enough with the sad stuff, I have some really exciting polishes to show you today.

Danyl just released Part 1 of her "Sweet Spring" Collection and that's what I'll be showing you today! There are 6 polishes in the first part that are absolutely breathtaking.

First up, is Bring Me Spring Flowers. This is a "creamy coral polish with an assortment of bright micro glitters"

This polish is SO beautiful in person, much brighter on the nail than in the bottle. It was hard to capture the true color because it is very bright so my camera did a little tripping on me but I think I got very close to true color.

If I had been super careful this could have EASILY been a one coater, I opted for two plus topcoat. I also tried to do a little holo stamping on my ring finger but failed miserably. I love this polish and would recommend it to the WORLD. yes, the WORLD!

Next up is Sassafras Lex. This "is a pastel pink crelly with white micro hex glitter, multiple colored dots, aqua butterflies and lavender daisies." It was named after one of her neices' who is very Sassy ;)

This is two thin coats with a little glitter placement plus HK Girl Topcoat. I also added a couple of fimo slice butterflies for a little extra "Sas"

I love that this one is full of different shapes, color, and sizes of glitter. Because we all know I'm the queen of all glitter shaped goodness.

Next up, is April Showers. This is a "creamy teal blue with electric blue micro flakies"

The formula on this was a little tricky, I did add a couple drops of thinner and that solved my problem. It wasn't thick or gloopy, just, tricky. It is gorgeous and SO worth it, especially when you hit the right lighting.

I used three thin coats plus HK Girl Topcoat. Isn't she a beauty?

Next up is, Such An Egghead. "This is a pastel yellow crelly with subtle yellow shimmer, micro white hexes, multiple colored dots and large pink and lavender dots." I love the glitters in this, paired with the pastel yellow. PURE PERFECTION!

I used two thin coats plus topcoat to achieve opacity, topped with HK Girl Topcoat. Easily, another favorite of mine.

Next up, we have Bunny Bums. "This is a soft white crelly with pink flakies, pink hex glitters and rosy pink dots."

This one is truly outstanding. I love when in a collection there is at least one pallete cleansing polish and this folks, is it. The glitters are perfectly placed.

I used three thin coats plus HK Girl Topcoat. The formula on this one was fantastic, no streaking or balding at all! I also placed cute fimo slices to match the name of this cute polish.

Last, but not least, is Jellies in My Belly. OHEMGEE, this one is probably my favorite of them all. This is " glitter bomb packed with multiple colored dots and full of shifting rainbow flakies."

This is ONE coat of Jellies in My Belly over April Showers. DO YOU SEE IT? All the glitter goodness that comes straight from the bottle, no digging or fishing. Oh the gloriousness (yes, I made that up, it's that good"

What do you think of this collection? Didn't Danyl do a wonderful job? I'm so happy I had the oppertunity to swatch this collection, I love spring time and these scream spring! Remember, this is Part 1 ao she has more in the works for us!

This collection is available NOW at her etsy and also keep up with her on instagram at duh_nail_polish and her facebook as well!


Until Next Time!

Hawaiin Sunset Stamping Nail Art

**Nothing To Disclose**

Happy Tuesday Friends! What a beautiful weekend I had! Today I finally have some stamping to show you! It's been so long since I've stamped but wasn't sure how it would turn out, and I'm really loving it:)

For this, I started with a gradient using China Glaze polishes, Petal to the Metal, Peachy Keen, and Lemon Fizz. I then topped it with China Glaze Fairy Dust.

Then I stamped with Sinful Colors Blackest Black, and used the new Pueen Buffet Plates in Pueen 72. I'm thinking of doing a review on these plates, would you like to see that? I love them, I love that every nail doesn't have to be the same! I topped everything with HK Girl Topcoat

The smudging you see isn't from the topcoat, it was from the stamping. It wasn't perfect but I still adore this mani so much.

What do you think of this mani? Personally I adore it, and can't wait to do more stamping. I've done a similar gradient in the past, I can't help it, Pink, orange and yellow go so well together as gradients!

Do you own the Pueen Buffet Collection, what do you think of them? If you have posted an mani's using them I'de love to see what you have done with them!

Until Next Time!

Polish Addict Nail Color Pretty Zombie and Zombie Unicorn Swatches and Review

**Nothing to Disclose**

Hello Friends! I hope your weekend is off to a good start! I know mine is, it will be full of swatching lots of goodies for you! Today I'll be showing you two amazing polishes I purchased from Polish Addict Nail Color (PANC). I've been a huge fan of all of Laura and Crystal's creations from the very beginning. They are so unique and the formula is always spot on.

First up is Pretty Zombie. This is a beautiful light pink crelly filled with neon glitters, including stars, and is also.. wait for it.. GLOW IN THE DARK. This is the first GITD polish I own and I'm so impressed!

I used two medium coats of Pretty Zombie, topped with HK Girl Topcoat. Stunning I tell you, Stunning!

The formula on this one was buttery smooth and went on so beautifuly. I had no issues with clumping glitter, again, what you see is what you get!

I think Laura did an amazing job with the glitter selection in this polish. The light pink base is my favorite, I haven't seen many shades in this color and this one came out to perfection.

My glow in the dark didn't come out as great as I wanted, but I'm still completely in love. I woke up in the middle of the night wondering what the hell was on my fingers, then realized it was beautiful :P

Next up is Unicorn Zombie. A beautiful glitter topper, filled with loads of neon stars and neon glitters.

I used one and a dabbed coat of Unicorn Zombie over Sinful Colors Sweet Rush, topped with HK Girl Top Coat.

The topper was so easy to work with, I didn't have to fish for glitters, but the dabbing method gave me more control with the stars. We all know I LOVE my shaped glitters ;)

What do you think of these two polishes? I'm completely in love and have so many more Unicorn and Zombie polishes I purchased from PANC that you'll be seeing more polishes from them VERY soon!

You can purchase these polishes from their store, as well as keeping up with them on facebook and instagram at @polishaddictnailcolor :)

Until Next Time!

Sweet Heart Polish Swatches and Review

**Press Sample**

Hello and Happy Hump Day Friends!!! I hope everyone's week is going swell, my week has actually been pretty relaxing! Today I have some beautiful polishes to show you by Sweet Heart Polish! So let's get right into it:)

First up, we have Mermaid's Magic. This is a beautiful "green/blue, slightly holographic shifting polish that shimmers almost teal in the sun, with large turquoise holographic dots, sapphire squares, teal circles, and blue square glitter."

This polish is extremely sheer but buildable. I used three thin coats to achieve the opacity you see. I really love the way it looks on it's own. I topped it with HK Girl Topcoat.

This is so beautiful, and really does remind me of the scales that would be on a mermaid's tail. The shift in this is amazing. I couldn't stop staring at it.

Next up, is Joseph from the Superfine! Collection.

Joseph is "a periwinkle micro glitter with a dash of holographic glitter thrown in." I used two coats for FULL opacity. This baby is jampacked full of glitter. I topped it with HK Girl Topcoat.

This is easily my favorite of the three polishes I was sent. I couldn't believe the intenseness, yes I made that up, of the glitter. It was like a fairy farted on my fingers and left me with nothing but goodness.

I need to have the rest of this collection in my stash, especially if they all have the same intensity as Joseph.

Lastly, is He Loves Me..

He Loves Me.. is " a mix of holographic glitter in all shapes and sizes with cotton candy pink hexes and matte pink hearts in a clear suspension base."

This is again, another winner in my book. I'm not a *huge* fan of glitter toppers, as I prefer crellys. But with this topper there are endless possibilities. I used two coats over one coat of Sinful Colors- White on White. I didn't do any placement or fishing for glitters, what you see is what you get! Topped with HK Girl Topcoat.

This was originally released as part of their Valentine's Day Collection but became a core polish, and I am so glad it did. I love the hearts, and especially the circle glitters!

What do you think of these Sweet Heart Polish's? Personally, I'm in love with every single one and I can't wait to get more. My favorite? Definitely Joseph. But all of them are beautiful in their own way.

You can purchase Sweet Heart Polish on etsy here, and stay up to date with releases on facebook as well as instagram @sweet_heart_polish.

Lastly, what is really important to me about this indie company is that from every bottle of polish you purchase, $1 goes to an autism charity. With Isaac in the works of being diagnosed as autistic, this means the world to me.

Until Next Time!

Duh Nail Polish Lucky Me, Lucky You Trio Swatch and Review

**Gifted to Me**

Hello my loves and let me first off by saying Happy St. Patricks Day!! I hope your wearing your green today so you don't get pinched;). Second, I'de like to apologize in my lack of posting. My fibromyalgia has been acting up really crazy and I've had more bad days then good, then I spent a few days in the hospital with my oldest son who came down with a nasty virus. But, out of all of that I am back and with a great post might I add!

First, I'de like to talk about Danyl, the creator of Duh Nail Polish. I made a purchase on her etsy after seeing a few of her polishes on instagram. I would say, no more than 10 minutes after making my purchase, she emailed me saying she had ran a sale on Instagram and she known I hadn't seen it so offered to refund me the money, or add another polish. I told her to go ahead and surprise me with whichever polish she chose. Well, on top of the extra polish she sent me, she also sent me this trio. She was so sweet in keeping me up to date on where my order was. Now that my friends, is quality indie at it's finest. Now, I know that not every indie seller has it in their budget to send free samples with every order, totally understandable. But the fact that she came to ME about the sale she had just ran, speaks a million words. So thank you, Danyl, for being so kind.

First in line, we have Not Irish, Kiss Me Anyway. This is a beautiful white crelly polish packed with rainbow shimmer, green hexes and pink dots.

I used two thin coats of Not Irish, Kiss Me Anyway over one coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, followed by HK Girl Topcoat.

The formula on this was beautiful. No glooping or sticking of the glitters, it all laid out nicely. One dip of the brush and I was able to get enough glitters so as not to fish.

I think this would be great any time of year, not just for the season of St. Patrick's Day. Very spring like!

Next up, we have Gettin' Lucky. This is a green cream with gold and green shimmer. The shimmer in this one is very subtle but close up you can see it nicely.

This is three thin-medium coats followed by HK Girl Topcoat.

Let's talk about formula. The formula on this one was a little tricky. For my liking, I did add a small drop of thinner to it. It wasn't super thick right out of the bottle, but definitely too thick for me. Nothing that would have steered me away from buying though.

Again, another great one for spring, I really love the hidden shimmer in this.

Lastly, but certainly not least, we have End of the Rainbow. It is a gold glitter topper, with gold hexes and dots, packed with loads of purple-pink shimmer.

I layered one coat of End of the Rainbow, over Gettin' Lucky. Followed by HK Girl Topcoat.

The formula on this was outstanding! I was thinking I'de have trouble getting the glitters to stay in place because of how packed the glitters were, but no problem here!

And there you have it folks! I loved every part of this collection and I am so happy it is in my clutches! End of the Rainbow is one of my favorite glitter toppers that I have in my stash to date.
