Alchemy Lacquers: Infinity Collection - Swatches & Review

Hey guys! Happy Thursday! I'm so glad the week is almost over. This week has been hectic, just lots and lots of swatching. My cuticles are so dry, but good thing it's only my right hand. Anyways, today I have some gorgeous polishes to show you inspired by the Soul Gems (Infinity Stones) from the Marvel comic books! I know you guys have been missing some Alchemy Lacquers, I know I have. Check out all the swatches down below.



This time, Rebecca has made this gorgeous Marvel comics inspired collection, just in time for the Avengers: Age of Ultron. The collection consists of six rainbow hued linear holo flakie chromes. They have a bit of  flakies, holo, glitter, and a multichrome finish. They're so unique, trust me, you need them! They're being released today, at 8 PM EST.

Ruby Of Power is a red jelly with a red to orange shift, with red flakies, holo, and flakies that shift from yellow to green, to blue, to fuchsia. I wore 3 coats with a top coat. The holo in this is actually pretty strong and I love these flakies! The formula and application was great.




Spessartite Of Time is a burnt orange jelly with a yellow to orange shift. I'm trying to describe each one but it's so hard with all the different colored flakies and shimmers lol, just take a look instead. I wore 3 coats, no top coat. Perfect formula and application.




Citron Of Reality is a yellow jelly with a yellow to gold shift. I wore 3 coats with top coat. Surprisingly, this is one of my favorite ones! I love how the multichrome flakies go so well with the base. I'm not a huge of yellow but this is so unique, definitely a must have!





Emerald Of Soul is a green jelly with a green to blue to purple shift and multichrome flakies that shift from blue to yellow to green. I wore 3 coats with topcoat. Of course, another one that I will be reaching for regularly. Green is my weakness lol. Perfect formula BTW.





Sapphire Of Mind is a blue jelly that shifts from blue to purple. It also has blue, purple, and red glitters as well as multichrome flakies that shift from yellow to orange. I wore 3 coats with top coat. Great formula!




Amethyst Of Space is a purple jelly with multichrome flakies that shift from fuchsia to orange to yellow. I wore 3 coats with topcoat. This is hands down my favorite one! I just love the flakies in there! Even my mom asked me for a mani using this color. The formula and application was perfect.





Overall, I'm really loving this collection! I thought it was really unique. Rebecca really pulled out all the stops with each polish! It's being released today at 8 PM EST. Make sure to follow Alchemy Lacquers on Facebook and Instagram.

Twinsie Tuesday: Watercolor Nails

Hey guys! Happy Tuesday! I hope your week started off great! Because it's Tuesday, I have another Twinsie Tuesday post! I missed last week's because I was sick. But this week's theme is awesome! This week's theme is Watercolor Nails! Check out what I did down below.


I'm glad this was the theme for this week! I've never done watercolor nails so I was pretty excited for this. I was scared it was going to be hard, but it totally wasn't! I still need to work on my technique a bit, but I'm pretty pleased. I wanted something super bright so I used Orly's new summer collection, Adrenaline. 
I did two blobs of each color on each nail. I really like how colorful it looks!



It's super easy to do! Just put a blob of polish on a piece of aluminum foil, and add nail polish remover to your brush and just keep diluting it to however sheer you want it to be. 


I hope you guys like what I did! Make sure to check out what the rest of the girls did using the links below.

Ever After Polish: Back To The Future Spring Collection- Swatches & Review

Hey guys! How is everyone's week going so far? I hope great! I got a little sick on Monday, but thankfully it went away quickly because I'm feeling a lot better now. Today, I have a new brand (to me at least) called Ever After Polish. I had actually heard awesome things of Ever After and have seen some really gorgeous polishes so I was super excited to try these out! And I mean, a Back To The Future collection? You can't go wrong with that!


The Back To The Future Collection will be released this Friday, April 10th, at Ever After Polish's storefront. This collection consists of 7 new shades ranging from cremes to jellies. It's perfect for spring, and even summer with some of these neons! Let's get to the swatches!

Great Scott! is a bright blue crelly. I used 3 coats. This one isn't a full on creme, it's bit sheer but totally buildable. It went on super smoothly and it dries to a matte finish. It's really beautiful.

Without Top coat

10/21/15 is a highlighter yellow crelly. I used 3 coats. This has the same formula and finish as Great Scott! I love how bright this is! Just think 'highlighter' and you'll know what I mean.

Hoverboard is a bright neon pink creme. I used 3 coats. This one definitely is a creme. OMG, the formula was just amazing! It went on so smooth and it's so bright! I love it!

McFly is a coral creme with a subtle holo. I wore 2 coats with top coat. This is such a pretty shade of coral! I love it! It definitely does need top coat because it has a matte finish. It's super pigmented and went on so smoothly! No staining though (:


Enchantment Under The Sea is a forest green jelly with iridescent flakies throughout. I wore 3 coats. This one is pretty sheer but it's so pretty! It totally captures the name so perfectly!



Plutonium is a pearly white sheer iridescent glitter topper. It can be worn alone, or over any polish. I wore 3 coats with a top coat and no undies.

The Delorean is a cool grey jelly with purple, royal blue, fuchsia, and gold hexes in different sizes, along with holo dust throughout. I wore 3 coats with a top coat. This one is definitely my favorite from the collection. I just love the glitter combo! And that holo dust is a nice touch. The formula and application was great!






Overall, I'm extremely impressed by Ever After Polish. The formula on each of these was amazing! I've seen a few other polishes made by Ever After Polish and really liked them, especially the recent Easter duo! I definitely recommend purchasing this collection, or any Ever After polish. You need then in your life! LOL

You can purchase the Back To The Future Collection tomorrow, Friday April 10th at Ever After's storefront. Make sure to follow Ever After on Instagram and Facebook for updates.

30 Days Of Colour Swatch Challenge: Day 3 - Yellow

Hey guys! Yay for being Friday huh? I'm so excited! I'm finally moving tomorrow. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. Everything is falling into place so perfectly. I think I will do a weekly post of how I decorate my new apartment or any DIYs that I might do, are you guys interested in that? Anyways, today I have the next swatch for the 30 days of colour swatch challenge. Today's theme is yellow! Check out what I colours I chose down below.



I don't have that many yellow polishes, maybe about a helmer drawer. I remembered about this yellow Alchemy Lacquer that I bought a while ago and knew I wanted to use that! I haven't posted any of Rebecca's awesome polishes in a while so its a win-win.



Hellebore is a light yellow jelly polish with dark purple and fuchsia glitters in dots and hexes. I wore 3 coats with topcoat. I love the glitter combination in this. It's so pretty! It was a bit on the thicker side though, but still workable.



The next polish that I chose is Island Sunset by Island Girl. I don't have many Island Girl polishes and I can't believe that I still haven't tried all them all! 



Island Sunset is a yellow crelly with blue hexes in different sizes. I wore 3 coats with 2 coats of topcoat. I really liked this in the bottle but not so much on my nails. On top of that, the formula and application was pretty bad. It was so streaky. I have another similar polish like this by the same brand and it too, had a really bad formula. That sucks. 




What do you guys think about these? I hope you like them! Check out what the rest of the girls did down below!

30 Days Of Colour Swatch Challenge: Day 2 - Red

Hey guys! We're onto day 2 of the Colour Swatch Challenge and today's theme is red! I was going to do a couple of swatches but ran out of time so I only did one, but I'm sure you'll still like the polish I chose. Check it out after the jump!




I don't know why, but I feel like I want to stick to only indie polishes for this challenge. Or maybe an indie polish and a mainstream polish for each post. Today, I chose Different Dimension Ho³ which was part of the December A Box Indied. 



Different Dimension Ho³ is a gorgeous red linear holo creme. I wore 3 coats, no topcoat. Isn't this so pretty! I can't believe I waited this long to wear it. The formula and application was amazing! I had so much control and was able to paint it evenly throughout my nail. I could have done 2 coats, but I have a dent on my nail that was too visible with only 2 coats. 



What do you guys think? I hope you guys liked it! Make sure to check out what the other girls that are participating did using the links below!

Have a great night!

30 Days Of Colour Swatch Challenge: Day 1- Blue

Hey guys! I hope you guys had a great Wednesday! Today is my day off so I mostly swatched and packed a few things for the big move on Saturday. I'm pretty excited! This is the first time I'm moving out of my parents so I'm both scared but happy for the change. I did do lots of swatching, one of which was for this new 30 Days Of Colour challenge where everyday I and a few other bloggers swatch a different color based on the following list. Check out what I chose today after the jump. 



I have so much polish that I didn't even know where to start. And because today is #humpdayHARE, I decided to go with one of my favorite indie brands, Hare Polish. It's sad to say but I own about a half full helmer drawer, and every single one of them is an untried. I said to myself, I have to share this gorgeous brand with everyone. So the polish I chose is From The Balcony Of Chateau Marmont, which was part of their Viva Los Angeles collection. 



From The Balcony Of Chateau Marmont is a light robin's egg blue crelly with a 'polka dot effect' in neon pink, hot pink, gold, black, and white glitters. It also has gold flakies and gold shimmer. I used 3 coats and topcoat.



When I saw this collection, I just fell in love with the brand. Their glitter combos are amazing, and I'm all for glitter. Glitter polishes are my favorite type! Think of all the combinations and possibilities! Plus, the formula is amazing!! 




Isn't it so this one so pretty! I definitely don't have anything like this in my collection. What do you guys think? Come back tomorrow for the next colour! You can also use the links at the bottom of the post to see who else is participating in this challenge!
