Glam Polish 'She Had a Lipstick Taser!' & 'Bubble Breeze'

Hey guys! Today I have swatches of a couple of Glam Polishes. I'd been drooling over a few colors and finally strength failed me and I placed an order :) I am glad I did though, because look at these pretties!

She Had a Lipstick Taser: 'White Matte hex, Watermelon hex & dots in a blue crelly base'. This shade is from the Mayhem & Madness collection which is inspired by the characters from Despicable Me 2. (Awesome movie btw, but back to the nail polish....)

These swatches show two coats of 'She Had a Lipstick Taser' over two coats of China Glaze 'Bahamian Escape' with one coat of Jordana Quick Shine. I did try building this to opacity alone but it took four coats, so I prefer it layered. 

The watermelon glitter in this is such a unique color - I don't think I have anything else in my collection with this particular shade of glitter. The combo of that with the blue base and smalller white glitter looked great - I really enjoyed wearing this one and am happy to have it in my collection.

Bubble Breeze: 'Silver holo dots, large ocean holo dots & blue holo micro glitter in an ocean blue base'. This is from the 'Me Oh My Collection' inspired by all things cute & fun!

The pics show three coats of Bubble Breeze with one coat of Jordana Quick Shine. Formula was good - not thick at all, but I did have to do a little bit of fishing to get the bigger dots out. How adorable is this though? It actually looks like I have little pools of water for nails with bubbles floating round in them - I love the effect :) Circle glitter is always a winner with me!

I picked these up from Llarowe as the Glam Polish website ships within Australia only. They are also available from the following retailers: Norway Nails, Color 4 Nails, Rainbow Connection and Mei Mei's Signatures.

Jindie Nails 'Battle Royale' - Swatches & Review

I've had swatches of this on my computer for a while, I don't know why its taken me so long to do a post because this polish is gorgeous! Battle Royale has a royal blue crelly base with lilac, lavender, silver, purple, turquoise, teal, periwinkle, magenta hex, dots, shreds and squares in holographic and metallic finishes.

The pics show three coats with one layer of Poshe top coat. The formula was good - application was easy, especially for a polish this packed with glitter. I didn't have to put any effort in to get a good amount of glitter on my nails.

Only complaint I had about this polish is the bright pink label lol.. glad they have been changed! The new bottles look so much nicer in my collection :)

Jindie polishes are available from Harlow & Co., Llarowe, Mei Meis Signatures and within the US at the Jindie Nails website.

Picture Polish 'Ocean' - Swatches & Review

Today I have a gorgeous blue to show you! Picture Polish 'Ocean' is a collaboration shade between Kelly's Kolors and Picture Polish. Ocean has a turquoise jelly base with scattered holo flake particles.

These swatches show 3 coats plus topcoat. Formula was great - no problems at all. This shade is inspired by Kelly's love of the ocean and The Beatles.

This polish is so pretty, it really does sparkle like the ocean! I love the depth that the holo flakes give. Picture Polish is available at Llarowe, Harlow & Co, Picture Polish and Overall Beauty.

Thanks so much for viewing my post, hope you enjoyed it! xx

Digital Nails 'Dig Deep' & 'Lying' - Swatches & Review

Hey guys! Sorry I've been a bit quiet, hectic week! Today I've got two polishes from Digital Nails to show you.  I picked up Lying and Dig Deep in a recent restock.

Dig Deep is a "neutral gray crelly packed full of multiple sizes of matte gray glitter, and also a pale aqua glitter". Dig Deep is inspired by diamond blocks in Minecraft - though there must have been some drama over that, as the listing is now titled: "Dig Deep: a Digital Nails nail lacquer inspired by mining diamonds in that game that I'm not allowed to mention." Sigh! I've done my time in minecraft, so I'm loving the geeky reference. Even if it does bring back memories of many lava + creeper related deaths!!

I think this captures the color of diamond ore really well! The swatch shows four coats alone (no undies) and two coats of topcoat. Although I love the depth of this, I will definitely use undies next time. I had no issues with the formula and didn't have to fish for glitter. Definitely a fan of this one.

The other polish I purchased was 'Lying', which is a thermal color change polish.

"It’s a dusty deep purple at room temperature & transitions to a rich dusty teal when it goes above 88 degrees F" (approx 31 degrees Celsius). When I buy color change polishes I tend to go for quite dramatic change and this one doesn't disappoint!

Apparently this polish was inspired by The Lying Cat from the graphic novel series 'Saga'. I'm not familiar with this series so I had to google a pic:

The swatches show 3 coats plus topcoat, and the formula was perfect.  

This was definitely a good first experience with Digital Nails - I like the thought and care that goes into creating their polish and their geeky inspiration is definitely a selling point for me! My order shipped quickly and arrived faster than I expected.

Digital Nails lacquers can be purchased through their etsy store and both of these shades are currently in stock :)

Wing Dust Collections 'Night Fury' - Swatches & Review

Night Fury! Who could resist a polish named after this:

CUTEST. DRAGON. EVER.  Ok.. so I'm a bit of a fan aaand I have two sons... I know what you're thinking!  "Yes yes, that dragon is awesome.... but we're here for the polish!". So here it is:

Nearly as amazing as Toothless himself (:P), this is a gorgeous deep purple/blue jelly polish loaded with blue and purple iridescent glitters and shimmers.

Shown here is three coats with one layer of top coat.  This was my first polish from Wing Dust and I was really impressed with the formula - it glided on really smoothly, not thick at all, and wore really well. I love they way it appeared to almost glow in certain lights. I will definitely be checking out what else they've got, I know they've released a few new polishes recently that looked interesting.

I definitely recommend getting hold of this polish if you're a fan of this type of shade!  I picked this up at Llarowe but Wing Dust Collections also has an etsy store.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed this post! :) xx

Femme Fatale 'Aqueous' - Swatches & Review

Aqueous is one of Femme Fatale's newest shades - its 'a medium bright blue crelly filled with teal, navy, blue, magenta and pink.glitters'.

It should come as no surprise that I love this polish :)  FFC can do no wrong! :P But seriously its so nice when you have high expectations from a brand and they consistently live up to them.

The pictures show 3 coats of Aqueous with 1 coat of topcoat.  Application was about what you would expect from this type of polish - a little thick due to the amount of glitter but nothing troublesome. No fishing was required for the glitter either, which is always a bonus!

Femme Fatale lacquers are available from their site for Australians, or Llarowe and Harlow & Co internationally.  It seems to be sold out on both Llarowe and Harlow at the moment so make sure you keep an eye out on their facebook pages if you're trying to snag it! 

Thanks for taking the time to read my post xx

Crows Toes & Elevation Polish Collaboration 'Too F*%#ing Hot & Too F*%#ing Cold' - Swatches and Review

Elevation Polish and Crows Toes are two of my favourite indie nail polish brands so I was excited to see they were working together to create this duo - Too F*%#ing Hot & Too F*%#ing Cold. Love the names too!

The following are the official descriptions, just because they describe them better than I could! 'Too F*%#ing Hot- is a deep red jelly-shimmer with both black and red medium/large flake shimmer; Too F*%#ing Cold- is a blue tinted glitter topper with a complex blend of holographic & iridescent glitters.'

I actually ended up liking this duo even more than I thought I would - I love how the iridescent glitters look against the red.  The formula was great, I used three coats of Too effin hot and two coats of Too effin cold, though you could get away with two and one.  

I think Too effin cold would look great over a variety of colours so I look forward to trying that out!  I purchased these from Llarowe and they're still in stock.  Pretty sure they aren't going to be around for long though, so if you do want them best to grab them sooner than later! :)
