Pretty and Polished Winter Collection Nail Art Review

Hi guys! So, since Chelsea knows how crazy busy I am with getting ready to launch my line of stamping polishes, she sent me 5 of the new colors from her winter collection instead of all 12. And...since I knew she had a ton of amazing bloggers providing her with gorgeous swatches (which I'll link below)...I decided to do things a little differently. I took my time and created 5 different nail art looks with the polishes I got, wearing each for 1 day before moving on to the next. I am personally pleased with how these came out and I really enjoyed the more relaxed swatching pace. I think I might keep it up this way. As a funny note, you'll see how my nails get longer by the last swatch since I didn't want to file them until I was done. Scroll down for more pics and the review!

Pretty and Polished - Throwback-Collection Swatch and Review

Hi guys! Today I have the Throwback Collection from Pretty and Polished. P&P is celebrating 5 years of being in business this month and they are bringing back 4 classic shades in their old style paper labels that will only be available through a pre-order until Nov 14. So you have to act fast if you want any of these.

The Throwback collection features 2 classic P&P glitter crellies, 1 clear glitter topper, and a gorgeous thermal crelly. These have been reformulated and now have P&P's 5 free formula. These polishes all self-level wonderfully and you don't need a lot for nice, even coverage.

BBP Stamping Polishes!

Guys...you guys...I'm rather excited today. 1st of all because it's been a while since my last post, but 2nd, because one of my favorite makers...and in my opinion the indie creme polish queen, is launching her own line of stamping polishes! I feel very honored that I got to test and swatch these. The initial stamping polish launch consists of 6 colors and for the most part they stamp really well over both white and black as well as work with a variety of stampers and plates. I'm going to share my general review and thoughts on the polishes as a group first, followed by the pics and any additional comments on the individual colors.

Pahlish Fan Group Customs Swatches and Review

Hi guys! I'm actually sick right now so I'm pulling out some swatches from my vault to show you guys. Today I'll be sharing some Pahlish fan group customs with you guys. These were made exclusively for the Pahlish Lovers FB fan group and are no longer available. Overall, both of these polishes had a great formula but they were...dare I say it...to holo for me. Yes, I said it. I am not a fan of "in your face" holo polishes. I felt the holo flare in these was so strong, that it grayed out the colors way too much. I was not a fan so I let these go in my destash a few months ago. Anyway, I'm just going to share the swatches I took below, enjoy!

BBP - Never To Be Trusted Trio - Swatches and Review

Hi guys! Today I have swatches and a review on the Never To Be Trusted trio from Bad Bitch Polish, inspired by the movie Coraline. While it isn't technically a Halloween movie, it does have a spooky vibe to it, so BBP creator Britt thought it would be perfect for this time of year. Swatches and review below!

Pretty and Polished Fall 2016 Swatches and Review

Long time no see! Today I have the Pretty and Polished Fall 2016 collection. This has a little something for almost everyone, glitters, crellies, flakies, holo sparkles, and thermals! It's no secret this is my favorite indie brand but I still must admit this is simply another awesome collection. There's 10 polishes and a few pics for each so this will be a bit picture heavy. Check out my swatches and thoughts below!

Pretty & Polished - Connie and Carla - Swatches and Reviews

Arcane Lacquer - Swatch Spam

Today I have some swatches of a few polishes from Arcane Lacquer. I'm actually destashing these, but they are so pretty that I wanted to swatch them at least once before selling them. The first is Set the Pace, pictured above. This is the only swatch I have, since I did some nail art with it that I ended up hating but I sold it before I got the chance to re-swatch it and take more pics. Swatch is 2 coats with top coat, really nice and smooth formula. Let's see the other polishes below!

Lilly Anne's Garden Acetone Additive Review

Today I have a review for a new to me product from a new brand by IG swatcher @mrs.miscostello aka Misty. I've been having issues with the constant use of acetone on my skin and the fumes have been triggering headaches. So I asked in a FB group for any brand that made acetone additives without grapeseed oil (because I'm allergic to it). Misty responded letting me know that she had a brand new product that was grapeseed oil free and offered to send me a bottle to try out and review! So check below for my thoughts!
