Trelly's Polish — Pumpkins Scream

So tomorrow is Halloween and I'm terribly behind on being active on my blog. I've still been swatching and taking photos, just not really keeping up with everything with how BUSY life is. OTL.

So here's another quickie for you guys.

Today I have Trelly's Polish Pumpkins Scream which is a clear/blue base polish filled with multi colored glitters in black, blue, teal, purple, and orange.

This is 1-2 thin coats layered over China Glaze Harvest Moon. I had a hard time choosing a base for this combo but I think HM works well.

Trelly's Polish can be purchased at her Etsy shop.

Until next time~ :)

Candy Lacquer — Sea Nymph

Today I have something a little new for you guys. At least it's from a brand I've never posted before. Hehe.


Candy Lacquer Sea Nymph is a gorgeous gold and sea green glitter polish. It also has a few bits of larger holographic teal glitter scattered throughout it.

This was 2 coats of Sea Nymph and coverage is really good. I wore this on its own but I think next time I'm going to layer this over something because it chipped same day as is the case with a lot of glitter polishes. -_-


Overall I loved this because it was so sparkly and I love SPARKLY! Lol. I just wish it would have lasted more than a few hours.


You can purchase Candy Lacquer polishes from her Etsy shop for $8 USD for a full sized bottle (.5 oz./15 ml).


Until next time~ :)

Kleancolor — Chunky Holo Teal

Here's a stinky Kleancolor.


So apparently I forgot to come back to this post and edit it before it went live. So sorry guys!


I went get a manicure a few weeks back and picked out this lovely China Glaze blue for my mani and pedi. As someone who never really leaves polish on for very long, I was itching to do something with this mani the day I got it. Lol. I did hold out at least for a day or two before I added a coat of my new Kleancolor Chunky Holo Teal.


Kleancolor Chunky Holo Teal is a sheer teal jelly base packed with multichrome round glitters. I'm not sure why they call them "holo" because they really aren't holographic.

This is one coat of Kleancolor Chunky Holo Teal over China Glaze Bahamian Escape.


Kleancolors are stinky, really stinky. I was sure I'd need to air my bedroom out for days after using this. I'm not sure how B3 they are (IF they are), but other than the smell the formula wasn't bad on this as I was expecting from what I've heard and seen from other bloggers.


You can purchase Kleancolors at your local retailers if you have any or you can purchase them from BeautyJoint for $1.75 each!


Until next time~ :)

AllThatGlitters — Very Peacock-ish

Here's an oldie that I thought I had posted already but apparently did not!

AllThatGlitters Very Peacock-ish. This is a blue-green sheer shimmer base packed with small blue and green glitters as well are medium black and large black/opal and gold hex glitters.

I layered 2 coats of Very Peacock-ish over 1 coat of Bettina Ocean. Formula on this was relatively good to work with. The glitters weren't that hard to get out the bottle but I did have to sort of put them where I wanted since they tended to want to go on the ends of my nails. I did notice that the large black / opal hexes were a bit curled up but it didn't hinder application. They did poke out a bit even after 2 coats of Gelous and 1 coat of Seche Vite though.

AllThatGlitters polishes can be purchased at her Etsy store for $8.00 USD for full-sized 15ml / .5oz bottles.

Until next time~ :)

Elixir Lacquers — Bad Kitty

I seem to have found several polishes that I swatched that I NEVER edited or posted here so expect to see those popping up over the next week.

A while back I showed you guys Lynderella Nosegay layered over Elixir Lacquer Bad Kitty LE. Today I'm finally showing you Bad Kitty! Hehe. 

Better late than never, eh?

Bad Kitty LE is a limited edition polish by fellow blogger Nicole of Nail Polish Wars. This is a light purple to teal duochrome. It's a beautiful and kind of insane polish to see first hand.

It's so shiny!

It is on the sheer side, I think this was 3-4 coats and I still had VNL which is why I layered Nosegay over it but it's seriously gorgeous on it's own.  You can layer this polish on tons of different bases to create new and unique looks.  And it is a bit streaky but if you apply this properly the brush strokes aren't bad.

Bad Kitty is unfortunately limited edition, but I think Nicole may be releasing another small set soon. If you're lucky, you can pick this up for $12 USD over on  the Elixir Lacquers website.

Until next time~ :)

Scherer Chameleon — Blue Sky

I have a little something different today, a little gem I found at my local RiteAid. I never really venture to RiteAid anymore since there isn't one close to my house but this one is right around the corner from work. While scoping the place out for some pretties to send to Vanessa of Confessions of a Polishaholic, I came across these little Chameleon polishes by Scherer.

Only 2 of these little duo/multichrome polishes stood out to me and today I have the first to show you.

Below is Blue Sky which is a blurple to teal duochrome. I tried really hard to capture the RL look of this on camera but let me say that this was even more awesome in person. I couldn't stop staring at my nails. In the bottle this looks much more multichrome with blue to a gold flash with purple and teal in between but on the nail you really just get that blurple to teal change.

Also, these are my first nail pictures with my new lightbox I made (still used with natural light / direct sunlight through my window)! And please forgive how rough this looks on my nails. I had a bit of a battle with some glitter that left my nails a bit peely and this frosty metallic just shows it all! (And also ignore the ding I made on my middle finger! Lol.)

This is 2 thin coats of Blue Sky with a top coat of Seche Vite. I probably could have done another coat of polish but at 2 it was opaque enough. This does dry a bit frosty/metallic but the brush strokes are not very visible on the nail at all. And it's really not that frosty at all.

Overall I loved this polish. Coverage is awesome in 2 coats and dry time is really fast! I'm actually really happy with this find. :)

I picked these up at RiteAid for $1.99 or so. You could probably catch them on sale or even clearance if you're lucky.

Until next time~ :)

A England — Saint George

I finally have the last of my A England polishes for you today! I know it took forever. Lol.

Saint George is a beautiful teal holographic polish. Formula on this is like the others; it goes on smooth like buttah. Hehe.

In the shade.

Direct sunlight.

Even more direct sunlight.

This isn't one of the stronger holographic polishes from this collection, but my photos don't show nearly how holographic this is in real life. It's much more stunning in person.

The only issue I had with this polish is a bit of staining when I was doing clean up. It did bleed a bit into my cuticles but after I showered, the stain was gone.

You can purchase the Legends collection on A England's website, Llarowe, and Ninja Polish. Prices vary on all sites.

Until next time~ :)

Dollish Polish — Expecto Patronum

Today I have another awesome indie brand polish for you guys!

Dollish Polish is one of the many amazing indie polish makers. She has a lot of book, movie, and TV show themed polishes and they're all so awesome!

I'm showing you one of several that I recently purchased from her Etsy store.

Expecto Patronum (HARRY POTTER!!!) is  a milky white base with teal shimmer, glitter, and iridescent flakies. It's soooo awesome!!

Nostalgic Lacquer — Duckie

 Hello lovelies! Today I have an absolutely fabulous polish for you today. 

Duckie from Nostalgic Lacquer! This is a part of the Bizarre Teenage Love Triangle collection. I did get all 3 in the collection but today I'm just showing you this one. The other two will be in their own posts. :)

Artificial light, no flash.

"Duckie is a combination of chartreuse, holographic teal, and pastel green glitters in varying sizes floating in a semi-sheer pastel teal base."

I did kind of have to mess around with some colour correcting to show the true colour but it's still not perfect. The above picture is a bit more green than this polish is in person but I was just having a time of it trying to capture the colour. It's a lovely teal/minty green though. It was a dream to work with. 3 thin layers over ORLY Gumdrop. I really didn't have any problems with the large glitters either. I didn't have to fish them out like a lot of polishes do.

And here is a picture of ORLY Gumdrop on it's own. Again the colour is not TTL, but it's close (excuse the weird skintone if you notice it).

 

Nostalgic Lacquer retails $9 USD each. These are full .5 fl oz bottles so no minis here. I think they are definitely well worth it. :D She's actually moving from Etsy and going to be setting up shop elsewhere, but you can check out her blog for updates.

Until next time~ :)
