Elevation Polish - Red Sea

I am one lucky girl to have gotten my hands on Red Sea by Elevation polish. This polish was a small batch prototype that was released over the summer. Red sea is a strong multichrome and holo stunner that is a true chameleon. Every which way I look at this color it's different. It's gold, it's purple, it's burgundy and it's majorly holographic! 

Of course, the sun wasn't out when I was taking pictures...but you can get a good idea of it's awesomeness.

The next one was photographed with the help of  a led light bar that I just got. I love how you can see ALL of the little bits and pieces that make this polish so amazing.


In my pictures I have on two coats of Red Sea (I really only needed one) and one coat of Seche Vite.
This polish went on smooth as butter.


In case you didn't already know...any SBP that Elevation sells gets snapped up immediately. 
Lulu does restocks on the 7th and the 22nd of each month, with a selection of SBPs at every restock.


I'm not sure why this was only released as an SBP...it's so gorgeous, I think everyone should have it!

Remember, the restocks at Elevation happen on the 7th (TOMORROW!) and the 22nd. 
Get over there and get your hands on some of Lulu's amazing stuff.

Darling Diva - Don't Call Me, I'll Call You

When it comes to sass, Darling Diva's got you covered. Go take a look at the colors in the Darling Diva online shop and decide for yourself. The polishes that Carrie creates are absolutely stunning. What's more? The names of the polishes are fantastic!

Today's color is a gem named, "Don't call me, I'll call you."
I have this color in a little bitty baby bottle, that Carrie gave to me at a Minnesota nail gals meetup in the spring. Why I waited so long to try it is beyond me. This ruby red polish is a stunner.



"Don't call me, I'll call you." is a deep ruby red holo polish with gold flakes throughout that look more red than gold, in my opinion. I loved the consistency of this polish, as I do with the other Darling Divas in my collection.

This picture was taken with the flash on, to show off the holo!

In my photos I am wearing two coats of color, and one coat of Seche Vite.


Get this lovely color while you can, along with numerous others in the Darling Diva online store.

Hello, again!

Hello friends! As you may or may not have noticed, I took a little unannounced break. I'm back, again! Today, to intro myself back I want to share with you some fun nails that some friends and I did one night in my kitchen!

Every once in awhile it's fun to get together to share the pretties that you've accumulated. Since the indie polish universe has so much to offer, it's fun to share and compare your stash with friends.

One Saturday night I had a couple friends over, Erin of ICE Polish and my dear friend Lisa (yes, I take the blame for her polish addiction) came to play with polish!

Let's take a look at what we did!

A little bit of stamping, a little bit of glitter, some striping tape and TONS of fun! 

Fall is here, friends and I am excited for all that the rest of the year has to bring!

ICE Polish - One Offs collection


What a fun and diverse collection I have for you today. My dear friend Erin has been so patient with me as I am trying to get back on my blogging "feet" so to speak. These 5 polishes were introduced to her collection on August 22nd. This is a collection of super fun, "One off" shades. 

MMM...Kale


MMM...Kale is a black jelly base packed with emerald shimmer, so much so that it makes the polish look green and not black. It also has lots of bits and pieces of green glitter.


In my photos I am wearing 3 coats of Kale and one coat of Seche Vite.


Toothless


Toothless is a sheer black jelly base with neon green and blue glitters in hex, diamond and circle shapes. 
In my photos I am wearing three coats of Toothless and one coat of Seche Vite.


Sunset Skies


Sunset Skies is a very sheer, tomato red jelly that is full of yellow, pink and lavender glitters in lots of shapes and sizes. This one takes a little dabbing to get the glitters spread out, but with the jelly base, it's easy to apply.


In my photos I am wearing three coats of Sunset Skies, one coat of Gelous and one coat of Seche Vite.


Peacock Be Trippin


Wooooooo, Peacock be Trippin is one lovely teal polish. This is a deep teal base, with holographic effect and an awesome pink/purple shimmer thrown in.


In my photos I have on two coats of "Peacock" and one coat of Seche Vite.



White Trash


This is my favorite of the collection. I love the fun mix of all the glitter shapes and colors in this white crelly base. Something that I have noticed about Erin's white crellys is that they are borderline opaque and really easy to work with. What that means is that you don't need a million coats to get your color!


In my pictures I am wearing two coats of White Trash and one coat of Seche Vite.
Another fun note about this polish...there's a little bit of EVERY one of Erin's glitters in this polish, hence the name White "Trash".
Check it out!


(there's a cute heart hiding in there...can you see it?)

All in all, I think this collection is a winner for sure! The formula for all of them is ultra easy to work with aside from a little bit of glitter fishing and dabbing. All of these colors are available now, in the ICE Polish Etsy shop. Get yours now, while you still can!
