Scherer Chameleon — Calypso

Today I have an oldie for you guys. You'll probably be seeing a lot of these for a little while since I have SO many polishes that I swatched a month or so ago and never got around to editing or posting. OTL.

This is another of the Scherer Chameleon polishes I picked up a while back.

Calypso is a dusty, rosy purple multichrome that flashes to a silvery/green champagne color.

My middle finger has the most range.




It's sooo much more multichrome in the bottle.

This is 2 coats of Calypso without topcoat. Dry time is fantastic on this. It dries almost immediately and is a bit brushstroke-y but topcoat hides the imperfections.

I picked this up at Rite Aid a while back for $1.99 and might possibly still be available. I haven't been in a while so I'm not sure if they're still around.

Until next time~ :)

Petites — Zodiac

Happy Hump Day!

I have a quick post for you guys today.

Petites Color Fever Zodiac is a purple duochrome shimmer. It's very similar to Kat Von D's Wonderchild from what I have seen, so if you are lucky and can find this little wonder at your local RiteAid, Walmart, Big Lots, etc. you might have a much more affordable dupe. :)






This is 2 coats of Zodiac. You can see more of the duochrome in the last picture. It's really quite gorgeous in person and this shimmers so beautifully in the sun! The formula on this is really good for such a cheap polish and dry time is decent.

If you can't find these little gems in your local stores, you can make a phone order through them and you can even get free shipping and no minimums. Now I haven't done it but have just seen it posted on their Facebook a few times. :) And as an aside, I have no idea if these are B3F.

Until next time~ :)

The Spooky Bones Company — Dr. Vink


Today I have another awesome indie polish for you guys. I thought I had posted something from them before but it seems I never did!

Strange Polish by The Spooky Bones Company is an indie polish shop that has a lot of "scary/horror" themed polishes. They're pretty damn cool. :) I purchased a handful of polishes from them a while back and they even threw in 2 free minis! I thought that was so awesome!

Today I have Dr. Vink, which is a dark purple jelly base packed with silver holographic glitter. The description from the listing is so much cooler than what I could come up with though.

"Dr. Vink is perhaps the maddest scientist on Are You Afraid of the Dark. An insane doctor, Vink (with a Vuh Vuh Vuh) steals and bottles people's fear. A crazed old man with a mane of silver hair flecked with dark purple grays and black, the evil Doctor always manages to escape to terrorize another day. We pay homage to this character with a deep purple polish is littered with holographic silver glitter."


Direct sunlight.


This is 2-3 coats of Dr. Vink with a topcoat of Seche Vite. This polish works like a dream and there is no staining from this, which I was SOOO excited about! The colour is beautiful as well.

You can purchase Strange Polish from their Etsy store. Prices range from $3.50 for minis to $10 for what seems like their newest collections. 

Until next time~ :)

Nostalgic Nail Lacquer — Rayanne

Late post is late today! I hope you guys are having a great Memorial Day weekend! I have no plans really so I'm just bumming around the house and if something comes up then I'll be down with going somewhere. Hehe.

Today I have an indie polish that I haven't posted from in a while.

Nostalgic Nail Lacquer Rayanne is "a purple based jelly with bright purple, lavender, burgundy, gunmetal, and pink glitters in various shapes and sizes." It's really a beautiful polish!




 
This is 2 coats of Rayanne over 2 thin coats of OPI Funky Dunkey (which is my default purple underwear!).

I had no issues with formula on with this polish and it went on very well and the wear time on this was great. I've been wearing it since Tuesday/Wednesday with only a bit of tip wear. I plan on taking it off today though. Hehe.

You cab buy Nostalgic Nail Lacquer polishes from Erin's bigcartel site. Currently everything is sold out but you can check her blog for updates.

Until next time~ :)

Nerd Lacquer — I Think You Call Me... Sexy

Happy Friday! Don't forget about my current giveaway!

Today I have another Nerd Lacquer polish for you guys. I really am sad that she seems to have disappeared but alas, there are things that go on in people's lives outside of the internet that affect them in more ways than we can imagine.

Anyway! I Think You Call Me... Sexy is a beautiful Tardis blue shimmer base packed with multi sized glitters in silver and blue and fuchsia micro-glitter/shimmer.

Below is 2 flawless coats of ITYCMS (whoo) with a topcoat of Seche Vite.







Hope you guys have a lovely weekend! :)

Until next time~ :D

Nerd Lacquer — All of Time and Space

Hey guys! Don't forget about my giveaway!


I have another pretty awesome Nerd Lacquer polish to share with you guys today. My pictures are absolute crap so please forgive me!


All of Time and Space is a sheer shimmery minty green base with different sizes of silver and fuchsia glitter. This is a really gorgeous colour, but I don't really think it works well with my weird skin tone. Lol.






I used 2-3 thin coats of All of Time and Space and there was still some VNL. Next time I think I will try to layer this on something.


This is a fantastic polish though. Formula was perfect just like with all NL polishes.


The Nerd shop is apparently gone now though and there has been no word from the maker Amanda. It seems she has gone MIA. :/ Which is a shame since I was really looking forward to getting my hands on some more of her polishes.


Until next time~ :)
