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~ :)

The Spooky Bones Company — The Full Moon

Oops! I completely lost track of time and didn't get around to editing this post before it published. -_-


The Spooky Bones Company is another great indie company and I got a few of their polished several months ago.

I got around to wearing this lovely color called The Full Moon not too long ago. From the listing's description: "The Full Moon is a deep rich blue with lighter blue micro glitters that color shift from pink to purple. This color will have you howling in delight!"




This is two coats of The Full Moon. Coverage is great and this has a such a beautiful shimmer and slight duochrome to it. It's definitely a stunning color.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be available anymore from their Etsy shop but they have a lot of really awesome other polishes to choose from!

Until next time (and hopefully the post will be ready! lol.) :D

China Glaze — I'm Not Lion

So today I have one of the only two polishes I picked up from the China Glaze On Safari Collection.

I'm Not Lion is a beige/tan holographic glitter polish. The holographic in this isn't super strong but it's still more holo in person than my pictures show.





This is 2 thin coats of I'm Not Lion over OPI Skull & Glossbones. Application was really good on this and you could probably get this opaque in 3 coats but I must prefer to layer polishes like this for when it's time to take it off, it comes off so much easier. Heh.

You can still find these where China Glaze is sold in retail stores like Ulta and Sally Beauty.

Until next time~ :)
