Lacquistry Amazeballz - swatches and review

Today I want to show you a real wow-polish!! It was a gift from my great friend Goldie who snatched a couple of bottles of it the minute there was a release at Lacquistry! Well done and many many thanks darling! <3

Amazeballz is not really a pure glitter polish, nor a pure foil. It's also not really a pure gold color, nor a pure silver. To describe this polish I've had to invent new words. Amazeballz is a gliver goil polish! ;) Lol!

It's totally amazing and so unique! I've got nothing like it in my stash! I've never got so many positive comments from customers and strangers ever!

This is two easy coats and the removal was easier than with regular glitters (because it's a goil of course ;). I had no peel off base but a regular base coat.

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Goil (fusion of glitter and foil ;)).

Number of coats: Two.

Formula: Very good! So easy to apply!

Brush: Medium straight cut.

Top Coat: Yes. 

Grade: 5+++++++++++/5

A real show stopper! Get it if you find it! You won't regret it!

Turquoise Skittlette

The theme for today's Nail Art Sunday is "Skittlette". We had the same theme about a year ago and if you want to see that manicure click here.

The base for this skittlette is OPI Gone Gonzo! (ring finger) and I chose the rest to match that one. That resulted in a silver textured polish from Depend on the middle finger with the cool name of #2066 ;) and a turquoise polish from Color Club called Pure Energy. On two of the turquoise nails I did a glitter gradient with Gone Gonzo. All very matching and well thought through ;)

By K Waterfall - swatches and review

For this Green Wednesday I want to show you a green/turquoise glitter polish from By K's summer collection. This is the amazing Waterfall! So sparkling with glitters in green and turquoise in a clear base. It's like a tropical waterfall is bouncing down on my nails!

The glitter effect is camera shy but I included a blurry picture to give you a hint on how much this beauty sparkles! This polish makes me happy! And even happier as it's certified cruelty free, vegan and 5-free too :)

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Glitter.

Number of coats: Three.

Formula: Great formula! Not gluey at all and so easy to control! The glitters float out evenly on the nails with no effort at all.

Brush: Thin straight cut brush.

Top Coat: Yes. 

Grade: 5+/5

This is such a great glitter polish! Great glitter blend and great qualities! Thumbs up!

By K Sugar Rush - swatches and review

This is a pretty effect polish from By K that also can be used on its own. Iridescent glitter in a sheer pink base. You need three coats for it to be opaque on its own but only one thin coat to get a pretty effect on top of other polishes.

I tried Sugar Rush over all twelve of By K's summer and fall 2014 polishes but I thought it looked absolutely best over the green ones. So two pics today, one of Sugar Rush on its own and one pic with it layered over some lovely greens.

I like it best layered and absolutely best over the green blue glitter polish Waterfall (ring finger).

One coat of Sugar Rush layered over:
pinkie - By K Mermaid Cave
ring - By K Waterfall
middle - By K Glacier
index - By K Limelight

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Glitter.

Number of coats: Three on its own. One as layered.

Formula: Good formula. On the thicker side but not gluey. Perfect glitter flow!

Brush: Thin straight cut brush.

Top Coat: Yes. 

Grade: 3+/5

I'm not that much into layering and effect top coats but this is a fun top coat which also can be used on it's own. I like that different base polishes brings out different colors on the glitters.

Is it best on its own or layered?

Picture Polish Imperial - swatches and review

Purple isn't really my cup of tea, but when this beauty was released I just had to get it! My skin tone doesn't pull off purple at all but Imperial is actually fairly ok. Perhaps it's due to the copper glitter and the neon brightness. A match made in heaven!

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Glitter neon.

Number of coats: Three.

Formula: Great formula! Full control!

Brush: Quite wide straight cut brush.

Top Coat: Yes. Dries matte otherwise.

Color accuracy in pictures: Accurate. 

Grade: 5/5

This polish is amazing and unique in my collection! Great formula too!

Fish Scales Nails

I will not let my cold stop me from joining Green Wednesday! So from my sick bed I give you my scales nails :) I love how that rhymes!

The base is an amazing scattered green/blue holo from Darling Diva called Anna and the scales pattern is made with Essie No Place Like Chrome and MoYou London plate Suki Collection-06.

I wasn't sure what to call it at first but I think scales nails are pretty appropriate. What do you think?

Happy Hands Tropical Storm - swatches and review

It's such a shame Happy Hands don't make polishes anymore. I've been lucky to snatch up a few bottles of this brand though. This is one of them, the gorgeous Tropical Storm! In my head it's called Tropical Sea though ;) I think it looks exactly like a tropical sea full of colorful fish!

Blue Butterfly Wing Nails

Here is another butterfly wing manicure! This time they are blue glitter wings and they turned out so pretty! Perfect for Nail Art Sunday! :D

The base is Viva la Diva's Moonlight Lady which gives them such depth and life! I've stamped the wing pattern with MoYou London plate Pro Collection-07 and Essie No Place Like Chrome. Then I just dotted on some white dots with Barry M Matte White.

Viva la Diva Moonlight Lady - swatches and review

Sorry if it's been a bit quiet here for a few days. I've been crazy busy since my florist students graduate this week.

Anyhow, this is a magically beautiful polish from Swedish Viva la Diva! It has a dark blue jelly base which is packed with large silver glitters and micro blue glitters. The jelly base gives it amazing depth!

I wore this far longer than I had planned to. I didn't have the heart to remove it and I got so many positive comments!

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Glitter in jelly base.

Number of coats: Two.

Formula: A bit thick and gluey but very good coverage.

Brush: Thin and straight cut.

Top Coat: Yes. 

Color accuracy in pictures: Accurate. 

Grade: 5/5

The formula could have been better but it's so stunning live it was worth every effort! It's also very reasonable priced and still available to my knowledge.

By K Super Nova - swatches and review

It's Friday and what could be more suiting than ten disco balls on your nails! 100% party nails!

This is Super Nova from By K and it's so glittery that you need sunglasses! Glitters in a clear base. Not super dense so a base polish is to recommend. This is two coats of Super Nova on top of another By K polish - a silver foil called Moon Dust. Perfect combination and it feels really good to wear two polishes that both are cruelty free, vegan and 5-free!

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Glitter.

Number of coats: Two coats over a silver foil polish.

Formula: Very good! No glitter fishing at all needed. Applies smoothly.

Brush: Thin and straight cut.

Top Coat: Yes. 

Color accuracy in pictures: Accurate. 

Grade: 5/5

Great qualities on this polish and I'm such a sucker for glitter so highest grade from me! :)
