China Glaze - Atlantis

This is a polish from the "Specialty Collection" glitters from China Glaze, this polish is honestly breath taking.

Atlantis is a medium blue/teal/aqua jelly base with tons of holographic glitter.
The more coats you apply the bluer the color will appear.

This polish will feel kind of gritty if you don't apply top coat on, however in the pictures I didn't because I was only leaving the polish on while I took the pictures for this post.
Whenever I wear this baby for a while i'll definitely be putting a thick gel top coat.

I took a blurry picture so you guys could see just how strong this holo effect is.
This polish is one of my favorites now! I wish removing glitter wasn't such a hassle or I would wear this all the time.

I apologize for this being the macro shot of the bottle and not the actual nail I totally forgot about it, and remember when I had already taken the polish off. i hope you guys can bear with me.
The application for this polish was easy this is a very sheer jelly with one coat so I used three for the pictures.
Like i mentioned before the more coats the darker or bluer the polish is going to look like.

I wanted to take a sun shot of this polish but today wasn't very sunny outside so i'm just using inside artificial light for it.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and if you're wondering were I got this color from because i've never seen it in stores, I got it from ebay for a cheap 7 bucks :D

I'll catch you guys later, love;
Polish Junkie.

Color Club - Halo Hues Collection 2013

Welcome back  :)

The way I usually like reviewing my polishes is with a bottle shot, nails shot, and macro shot.
This time around i'll work things out a little differently.
For each color I will have two pictures, one with flash, one without.
I never really use flash for any of my pictures, since my white light is more than enough for me, but you can see the total beauty of these polishes with flash.

mkay, lets get started.

Beyond...

Beyond is a charcoal grey color with a soft holo to it. I was really excited about this polish since i've never seen a black holographic polish, perhaps my expectations were too high about this one. Beyond's holo is actually pretty weak even with flash, and its definitely the weakest of the whole collection.

Application was easy and smooth.
I thought this color without the holo showing looks really similiar to "secret Admirer" by Sinful Colors.

Kismet...

 Kismet is a light lime green holo. I don't really like the color green when it comes to nail polish, this is the only green polish i own aside mint greens.  This polish ended up making me fall in love with it, the color looks way prettier on the nail than it does in the bottle, I thought it looked almost yellowish.

This color's holo was surprisingly pretty strong and really beautiful! I wish i would've taken a sun shot of this because it's just breath-taking.

Cosmic Fate...

Cosmic Fate is an orangey - tan color that carries a really pretty holo with it.
It was really hard for me to actually capture this color because it kinda changes a lot depending on the light.

I actually didn't really want to buy this color and I was planning on just purchasing some of the colors, but i'm glad I did end up getting the whole collection, I ended up liking this color a lot.

Eternal Beauty...

Eternal Beauty is definitely my favorite color from this collection.
Even without the flash the holographic effect is so intense. It's breath taking.

You can see how bright and beautiful this polish is. I will be adding a under sun shot so check back with this post.
I absolutely love this color i've used it three times already (which is a lot for me,believe me) Most of my polishes get swatched once and that's it, not because I don't like them, just because there's too many others to try xD. *\^.^/*

Miss Bliss...

Miss Bliss is a beautiful barbie holo pink! it's a medium toned pink and it's holo it's gorgeous!
As you can see it's holo it's pretty strong but still softer than Eternal Beauty.
I love this color, I think it's really girly and fun ;)

As you can see even without the flash the holo is still pretty bright.
I applied this color on my toes as soon as I got the package and it lasted me for a good two weeks!!

Over the moon...

Over the moon is a light blue holographic polish. This polish' color is bright itself the holo isn't that strong but the color is adorable!

As you can see this color can turn to look a little teal but IRL its going to be more blue than this, my camera just wasn't picking up the color perfectly.


Now, I didn't talk about all these polishes formulas individually because they all share the same formula. My thoughts about the formula is that it's honestly perfect!
It's not too thick or too runny the application for all of these swatches was super easy and smooth.
They are easy to remove and can last a while on your nails depending on your every day activities.

I super recommend you guys to check out the site that I got these from and it was enospring.com
The whole collection cost me $40 USD with free shipping.
I'm not sure if they ship worldwide but i'm sure you could find out on the website.
Shipping was fast and all my polishes got here safe!

So thanks for reading this post I hope you guys enjoyed and keep coming back for more post :)

I'll be doing some nail art posts soon.

My Polish Addict by Laura Sanchez collection **part 2**

Haha, okay I didn't want to make just a huge long post but i'll do this review the same way as part two, so lets get started :)

First we'll have "Unicorn Love".

This beautiful polish is a pastel blue, it looks greyish as well and its packed with microglitters.
This is the only Polish Addict mini I have and I totally regret not buying a full size, i adore this polish!

 This is two coats of unicorn love, no top coat in this picture.
The formula is just as great as the other polishes. Obviously no fishing required to get the glitters, you will get tons every time!

We have neon green,yellow and blue micro glitters and also red ones.
This polish looks gorgeous in the sun light, maybe i'll post a picture of it later on because I couldnt get a good one when this pictures were taken.


"Laffy Taffy"

Laffy Taffy is a Light pink jelly base with tons of glitters and micro glitters. Laffy taffy is my favorite kind of candy so I kinda had to get this for the awesome name!

My nails were a little shorter in this picture so i apologize about that. lol
The application was a little tricky for me but once again i'm not pro. lol
I tried dabbing all the glitters then smoothing it out with another coat.
This is three coats of laffy taffy in the picture and top coat to smooth it all out.

You can see that there's tons of yellow,blue,teal,purple,pink,red and orange glitters and then we have micro holo silver glitter
I like this polish a lot but like all Glitter Bombs it is a hassle to take off. so I've only worn this two times, which is not bad considering I have tons of polish sitting there that haven't been tried but that's kind of the point of my starting my blog, I will have something to push to use all my colors ( and an excuse to keep buying new polish ;) ).

And last but definitely not least....Drunken Elephant! 

 First of all  how awesome is this name? haha I love it. This polish is a white cream polish with lots of different crazy glitters. This is one of my coolest polishes ;) I don't know why I relate the big black dots to elephant feet? LOL im always trying to fish for the elephants feet in the bottle.

You have to kind of dab the polish on so you don't brush off the other glitters but I promise that you will get crazy combos of glitter on each nail!

I would also recommend to leave the bottle upside down for a little while before you paint your nails to make sure the glitter isn't sunk at the bottom :]

I can't really describe the shapes of these glitters because they are just so unique and crazy! but the only ones you can obviously spot are the "elephant feet" i was talking about earlier. The big black dots are just awesome!


Okay that completes my collection for now, I will definitely be purchasing lots of her polishes and I recommend you guys to check all her pages out and purchase some of her polishes!
I believe Her new collection will be released on March 1st, but there's lots of polishes you can purchase now at her store.

 the link to her shop is http://www.shoppolishaddict.bigcartel.com/
 you can also follow her on Instagram @polish_addict_34

Hope you guys keep in touch i will be reviewing and swatching more polishes in the future so stay tunes ;)

Nail Care & Prep!

Hello Polish Junkies!


Today I'm gonna write a short post about the products I use for nail care and what I do prior to painting my nails, so let's do this! :D

Before painting my nails I use a regular nail polish remover that I get from my local cvs.
I file my nails down and shape them, when i'm happy with the results i apply some cuticle remover cream that I didn't find at the moment of taking the picture, so sorry about that.

After pushing my cuticles down ( I don't cut my cuticles or use any metal items to remove them).

The orange bottle to the right is my Sally Hansen's Grow Nails Now vitamin treatment, i put this all over my nails and cuticles and massage it, Once this is completely dry I usually use the All in One base from essie, but when I have a weak nail or a nail that has recently broken I apply the Sally Hansen's Double Duty base&top coat.

This base coat is really thick and gel-ish?, so it works perfect for smoothing your nail before putting polish on as well!

Definitely recommend this base coat for anyone who has weak nails.
 When I'm planning on leaving my nails nude I just finally put some Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream and massage it for about 3 minutes (each nail) and that's it!

If you're applying polish just top with top coat and after nails are completely dry proceed to massage the cuticle cream in!

I hope you guys found this interesting and helpful if you're just starting to get into nail stuff and would like to keep your nails strong and healthy!!

Also remember to eat healthy and drink plenty of water to keep yourself feeling great as well as your nails ;)

Have a nice day Polish Addicts, and i'll catch you guys later :)

^.^ love; Polish Junkie.

work area ^.^

Hello there!

Well i decided before i start posting all the nail art i do & swatches of polishes i've bought, i would show you guys my work area!

Once again i just got into this so I don't need as much space as other people with 600+ nail polishes do lol,this is enough for me and it works so yeah :)

To the left I have a set of minis that I don't really ever use.. and then my nail art brushes.

I had another container with all my cotton balls but my bf just happened to need it for her make up brushes lol so, that's gone. :p

Then my rack but i will get into that later on :)

My nail art wheels and swatches of every color are next to the rack.

Inside the little slots on the base of the lamp I keep my dotting tools, and a brush I use for cuticle oil, and the one i use for cleaning nail polish off my cuticles.

The polishes on the bottom I just cant keep anywhere else lol.

 so yeah that's pretty much it, on my next post i'll probably talk about what i do for nail care and before painting my nails!



hopefully this blog thing works out for me and I can get used to it haha, I'm sorry if its not the best but i'll try :3
