Smitten Polish — Fire and Blood

Very long time no post! Life has been terribly chaotic recently and I have had no time for anything, let alone editing and posting blog posts. I barely even get a chance to paint my nails more than once a week now. OTL.

Today I just have a quickie for you guys.

Smitten Polish Fire and Blood is a blood red jelly base packed with red, orange, and holographic glitters. This was a part of the Game of Thrones duo, which I still have to post the other from it...

Anyway, on to the pictures!




I don't remember how many coats this was or even if it was layered over something, but as you can see this is an absolutely beautiful red polish (something I never wear!). It's become one of my favorites in my collection.

You can purchase Smitten Polish from their Etsy shop for $9.00 for a full 15ml bottle.

Until next time~ :)

Smitten Polish — The One On The Right

Another indie brand polish for you guys today.

Smitten Polish The One On The Right is a periwinkle blue base polish with a mix of blue and purple glitter.



This is 2-3 coats of The One On The Right to full opacity. Application was really good on this polish. The glitter is evening distributed throughout the polish so you don't have to worry about fishing or putting more coats on for better glitter coverage.

I really liked this polish. You can purchase Smitten Polish from her Etsy shop.

Until next time~ :)

Trelly's Polish — Violet, You're Turning Violet

Today I have a new-to-the -blog indie brand. It's Trelly's Polish. I don't remember how I came across her polishes, but I saw a few and had to get them. 

Violet, You're Turning Violet is a blue/clear base with multi sized/shaped blue, purple, and white glitter.




This is 2 thin coats of Violet, You're Turning Violet over China Glaze Sweet Hook.

Overall I like this polish, but I do wish the glitter was a little more dense. It looks a lot denser in the bottle than on the nail and because the base is slightly tinted, using the dabbing method can cause the base coat to build up in darker patches and I don't like that.

I have yet to try out the other two polishes I got from her, but I'm hoping those will be denser.

You can purchase Trelly's Polish from her Etsy shop for $9.00 for a full 15ml bottle.

Until next time~ :)

Enchanted Polish — Vampire's Dessert

Not even going to bother writing a whole lot about this since it's the SECOND time I've had this publish without remembering to edit it. Lol.

This is Enchanted Polish Vampire's Dessert. It is a beautiful deep brown holographic polish.




2 coats to full opacity. This is seriously another amazing holographic from Enchanted polish.

You can purchase Enchanted Polishes from Llarowe and Harlow&Co for varying prices.


Until next time~ :)

The Spooky Bones Company — Watcher's Woods

I honestly cannot believe I never posted this before!

It's been so long since I swatched this, I don't remember much about it really.

The Spooky Bones Company Watcher's Woods. The description from the Etsy listing: "This delicious red-orange glitter is filled with a variety of orange, copper, bronze, and red extra fine glitter and holographic yellow micro glitter." 





I'm pretty sure this was 2 coats of Watcher's Woods. Natural light, no top coat.

This was a limited edition polish so I don't think it's available anymore. But there are tons of other awesome polishes from The Spooky Bones Etsy Shop.

Until next time~ :)

Rainbow Honey — The Worst Possible Thing

So I know in my last post, I showed you guys Essie Barefoot in Blue. 

I felt that it was lacking something and I was also kind of dying to try out my new Rainbow Honey polishes. So I layered The Worst Possible Thing on top of it. :) Of course, just as with Barefoot in Blue, these are not entirely color accurate. -_-




The above is 2 thin coats of Rainbow Honey The Worst Possible Thing over Essie Barefoot in Blue.

This is a gorgeous mix of glitter in a periwinkle tinted base. Application was okay. I did find the formula on TWPT to be a little thick, not sure if some thinner would help but I'm sure it would.

You can purchase Rainbow Honey polishes from their website for $10 for full size (15ml) and $5 for mini size (7ml).

Until next time~ :)

Essie — Barefoot in Blue

So we're hunkered down here at my house waiting for this hurricane to pass. Hopefully nothing bad happens in the meantime this post is scheduled to post.  

I got this little gem from Vanessa of Confessions of a Polishaholic a while back. I only just recently managed to find the chance to wear it!

Essie Barefoot in Blue is a LE collab polish with TOMS Shoes for their One Day Without Shoes campaign. 

My photos are so not color accurate, as this kept photographing way more purple than this polish is in person. It's still gorgeous though.



This is 2 coats of Barefoot in Blue. I used this in a layering combination which I will have for you in a couple of days! So I wasn't as concerned with streakiness as I normally would be. If I were worried, 3 thin coats would be perfect for this polish.

As I mentioned before, this was a Limited Edition polish and only so many were sent to fans.

Until next time~ :)
