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!

You can purchase Hare Polish on etsy. Make sure to follow Hare polish on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and even their own blog!

Twinsie Tuesday: Favorite Discontinued Polish

Hey guys! How did everyone's week start? I hope great! It's Tuesday again, so I have another Twinsie Tuesday post for you guys! This week's theme is Favorite Discontinued Polish, check out what I chose down below!

This was a hard one to do. Mostly to get started on. I was trying to find a discontinued polish in my stash. I knew I had some, but wasn't sure which ones. I finally decided on one of my favorite brands, Black Cat Lacquer. I've been buying from them since forever. They're actually my first, ever, indie polish purchase! I ended up choosing Sweet Dreams from their Spring 2013 collection. I bought it a while ago and actually tried to swatch it once but did a pretty bad job with it that I didn't finish, so I still consider it an untried. 

Sweet Dreams is a mint, light green crelly with matte pastel shreds and iridescent micro shimmer. I wore 3 coats with topcoat. I did have some trouble with the formula a bit. It was more on the thicker side. It could be cause I've had it for a while, but I remember it being a bit thick when I swatched it for the very first time. I like the base color and the color of the glitters, but I'm not feeling the shreds. I don't know why, but I'm just not a fan of shred glitter. I do like the glitter color combo though!

I didn't realize until I started typing this up that it said "favorite" discontinued polish, and this is definitely not my favorite. I don't even know what I would choose for my favorite! I'm glad I was able to try this one though! What do you guys think of this polish? What's your favorite discontinued polish?

Glitter Or Die: The Sea Collection - Swatches & Review

Hey guys! How was everyone's weekend? I hope it was great! I haven't been doing much besides organizing my polish stash. I'm actually moving out with my boyfriend soon and my stash has been all over the place and I didn't want it to be a mess when I do move this upcoming weekend. And on top of that, I've just been swatching away. Today's swatches included a new Glitter Or Die Collection inspired by the sea, hence, The Sea Collection. Check out all the swatches below!

The Sea Collection will be released tomorrow at Glitter Or Die's storefront. It consists of 8 beautiful polishes, each inspired by a different sea creature. Anything that's inspired by the sea, I love! It's being released tomorrow, Monday, March 30th.

Jewel Toned Anemone is a white crelly base polish with different sized glitters and shapes including hexes, and dots in pink, fuchsia, and purple. I wore 3 coats with topcoat. Honestly, can you ever go wrong with a white crelly? No. This is so pretty and it went on really smoothly. There's a lot of glitter in there so you pick up a good amount on your brush. I did flip the bottle upside down to grab the large dots easier. 

Blue Linckia is a periwinkle creme with a soft linear holo. I used 2 coats with topcoat. I wish I would have been able to capture the holo a lot better in this! It went on so smoothly. I definitely see myself reaching for this again.

Coconut Octopus is a turquoise creme. I used 2 coats with topcoat. OMG! I have my go-to teal creme (well had my go to teal creme) but this totally replaced it. My other one would stain my nails really bad but the formula was pretty good. But this baby right here, went on so, so smoothly and I had no staining whatsoever!

Here it is with just one coat and no topcoat. Yup, look at that coverage! I added a second coat just to even stuff out a bit.

Axolott is a semi sheer coral pink creme. I wore 4 coats, no topcoat. Aahh, I love this shade of pink. It's the perfect middle between pink and coral. I'm not a huge fan of showing off my vnl, but for this polish, I don't care. Love it!

Morey Eel is a sheer neon yellow jelly with black and white glitter in different shapes and sizes. I used 4 coats with topcoat. I'm really loving the glitter combo! Especially those medium sized white dots! You can easily wear this over a similar base if you don't like showing off your vnl.

Crinoidea Shrimp is a colorful glitter topper with royal blue, white, grey, and yellow glitters in different shapes and sizes. I wore 2 thin coats over Coconut Octopus. I'm really liking this glitter combo. I really liked wearing it over CO too. The formula and application was great, the perfect balance between glitter and base.

Velella is a glitter topper with turquoise, teal, and white glitters in different shapes and sizes. I wore 2 thin coats over Axolott. I love those teal hexes! I'm not a huge fan of bar glitter, but in this case, Glitter or Die did a fabulous job in using them. Formula and application was perfect.

Firefly Squid is a glow in the dark glitter topper with blue flakie and iridescent glitters with a matte finish. I wore 1 coat over Zoya Savita with topcoat. Those blue flakies are are gorgeous! I've always wanted a polish inspired by this awesome sea creature. Can't wait to do some nail art with this! The formula and application was great!

No undies.

Glow in the dark shot.

Overall, I'm totally loving this collection. Such great inspiration. It has a little something for everyone, be it, glitter toppers, or cremes, it's there! It's being released tomorrow, Monday, March 30th. Purchase these by clicking here. Make sure to follow Glitter Or Die on Instagram!

Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer: Kaffir Lily and Queen Lime Rose - Swatches & Review

I'm back with more Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer swatch spam! This time, I have the perfect polishes for spring! Spring and summer collections have got to be my favorite out of the year. They're bright, colorful, and just so pretty! Don't get me wrong, I love rocking those rich dark fall colors, but I'm always drawn more to the brighter shades. What is your favorite season for collections? Check out BEGL swatches below!

Recently, Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer was part of a huge box called Indie Mani Bunny Box (hosted by Ellagee) in which 15 different indie brands participated! Each box came with 11 full size polishes, 6 mini polishes, and a bunch of assorted manicure extras, hand care items, and nail art goodies. All for $80 (plus shipping for US and Intl.). Isn't that an awesome deal!? The box went on sale not that long ago and sold out in minutes. But Ellagee will be restocking only 4 more boxes tomorrow (she has a link on her site with spoilers). For the 4 people that are able to get the box, congrats for you! But for the rest of you, that didn't, you're in luck because Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer will be offering her contributions to the box at her storefront this Sunday, March 29th at 3:30 PM Est! 

For the Indie Mani Bunny Box, BEGL included 9 butterfly water decals which have a black outline and body and purple/green/blue wings. She will have these available for 9/$1. Onto the polish...

Queen Lime Rose Zinnia is a pastel lime green with gold to pink shifting shimmers. I used 2 coats with topcoat. I'm totally lovin' this shade of green. It's kind of like a pistachio green. I wasn't able to capture the shimmer too well on my nails, sorry! But it's there and it adds such a nice touch to it. The formula and application was super smooth. It will be available in full($12) and mini($6) size.

Kaffir Lily is a medium pink linear holo creme with pink to gold shifting glass flecks. I used 2 coats with topcoat. Oh man, this shade of pink is beautiful! So soft and feminine. It's perfect for spring! And the flecks make it that much more interesting. It went on really smoothly. Though this was only available as a mini size in the box, it will be available in full($12) and mini($6) on Sunday. 

Outdoor Shot

I really, really like these! They're just so pretty and perfect for spring. I wish I would have gotten the box because everyone's contributions are so cool. My low-buy is killing me! LOL These 2 polishes will be going on sale this Sunday, March 29th at 3:30 PM Est at Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer's storefront. Make sure to follow Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.
