China Glaze Texture Collection.

Hi Guys!!!

After being sick and feeling like it took forever to recover and losing my hard drive right after, I couldn't be happier that I'm back. I missead painting my nails and talking about it to you guys a lot, but now I'm back for good.

Yesterday I went to Ulta and found the China Glaze Texture collection display, unfortunately they only had a few of the colors.
The Texture collection is China Glaze's interpretation of OPI's liquid sands or Zoya's Pixie Dusts.
Even though I found OPI and Zoya to be very similar to each other, China Glaze had a completely different texture. I wasn't disappointed though. I like the new texture and I'm glad its something different

I picked up three from this collection and figured I'd wait until they re stocked to review the other three.

The first color I picked goes by the name of In the Rough and it is a yellow-ish based green.
I really like the color of this polish but my skin doesn't so much. Greens specially light ones don't get along too great with my skin tone. It's okay though because the other too colors I picked up were good.

The second one is called Unrefined and it is a light barbie pink. This color is so overly common but the fact that is a textured nail polish makes this okay for me. The shade of pink is really great for spring and will be great for summer as well.

The third shade I picked was Of Coarse! and it is a bright blue. This one is also kind of a very common shade but the this color makes the texture pop a lot. It's also great for summer!

All these polishes obviously have the same formula and the application was all the same. I applied one coat on every single swatch. I found that the texture was a little different when I applied more than one coat. These colors are all very opaque so one coat worked well for me.

I wish the hot pink and coral from this collection weren't sold out and the only place I can find these at the moment is ulta (which is pretty far from my house) I guess I'll be ordering the rest of this collection online since the original texture of them really caught my eye.

Totally recommend you all to pick up at least one of these. The texture is fun, the colors are bright, and I'm just loving this collection. Thumbs up China Glaze!!

Hope you guys liked this post and I'm truly happy to be able to be back on the blog. Love you all!!

Polish Addict mini haul.

Hey everyone!

Today i'm bringing you swatches of two beautiful Polish Addict polishes.
The first polish I'll be reviewing is called Mojito.

♥ Mojito is a light green crelly filled with soooo many glitters. I can't even list all the kinds of glitters this polish has.

The formula was quite sheer but the application was great. I didn't have to fish for glitters at all, and no dabbing was required to apply this polish.

As you can see this polish has the cutest pink star glitter and I believe it has turquoise ones as well but I didn't get any yet. You can find turquoise,orange and neon green hex glitters.You have green, red, silver circular microglitter, matte pink bar glitters, square turquoise glitters, and I'm sure more.

This polish is the most loaded glitter bomb I've ever seen! 

 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

The second polish I have today is to die for and I tend to always love glitters with a jelly black base, so this one was a must have for me.

♥Black tie parade is a black jelly base with different colored hexagonal glitters in it. This polish is honestly so gorgeous, the formula is great, everything! This totally jumped on my favs list.

The application of this polish was easy as well. I didn't have to dab or fish for the glitters, which if you have red my previous posts it gives 10 points to any indie to me lol.

The pictures above are two different nails, as you can see you get tons of glitters on every nail, every time.

You have purple, blue, yellow, red, green small and medium hexagonal glitters.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I added a coat of Essie matte top coat "Matte About You"  and this is how it looked. I adore it!

Hope you guys enjoyed this post.

Love you all♥ xo.

Polish Addict-Pretty in Pastels.

Hello Everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing my most recent purchase from Polish Addict by Laura Sanchez!
This beautiful polish goes by the name of Pretty in Pastels and it's definitely a MUSt have for the spring♥

(The polish i'm holding is not Pretty in Pastels)

Pretty in pastels is a light mint green crelly with different kinds of pastel glitter.

 This polish was quite sheer, in the picture I'm wearing 4 coats with no undies. I totally adore the color base and the end result. I love how I can use this polish over different blue & mint colors.

 Even with this polish being so sheer the final result isn't a bulky fat nail. I love it when I can apply my indies just like regular polish and not have to worry about having to smooth surfaces out. 

The glitter in this polish spreads out on the nail very evenly making the application very smooth.

Now onto the glitters, we have pastel baby blue matte hexagonal glitters, purple big hex glitters,micro pastel baby blue glitters and some green hexagonal glitters.

You guys can purchase this polish at http://www.shoppolishaddict.bigcartel.com/

but her shop will be closed for the next two days.

I should be having two more polish addict polishes to be added to my collection and swatched here, so if you like what you see don't forget to follow :)

 :Love you all! Goodnight<33

 

Day 2-Orange.

Hi guys!
Today I;m bringing you day #2 of the 30 day challenge I'll be doing this month!

I honestly only own ONE orange polish and have NEVER used it.. haha.
I don't know why yellows and oranges are really weird colors to me when it comes to nail polish.
I've never found an orange polish i'm in love with or anything similar.

The polish I'll be using today I bought when I wasn't really into nail polish, I just liked the way the bottles looked & how this polish looked in it, so yeah.. not really a good reason to purchase a polish anymore haha.

But anyhow, Since I couldn't come up with any ideas on what to use this orange polish with I said to myself... When in doubt.. USE GLITTER! so this is what I ended up with :)

The color I used is called Orange Fix by Maybelline Color Show. This orange is not that bad I mean I love the color just not for nail polish haha, but the formula is great, the application was smooth, it did take me three coats to reach full opacity, this polish looks a little more neon IRL, and it dries matte.

The glitter i'm using you might have seen in my previous posts. Its called Dr. Franken by Polish Addict.
I love the way that polish goes perfect with every color. I'll probably wear this polish during the summer since it's a neon but I think I'll definitely wear it under some other glitters..

Hope you guys liked this & don't forget to check back tomorrow for a new post :)

NOTD: glitter,glitter & some more glitter!

Hi guys!

I hope everyone had a good week & is having a great weekend!
Today i'm wearing a cute & super easy nail art design. All I used for it was a black polish to use as a base, a glitter polish & a matte top coat.

Shade

All I used for the base was Sally Hansen's Black out.

When the black was completely dry I put on the glitter polish. The polish I'm using is called "Dr. Franken" and it's made by the indie polish maker Laura Sanchez.This polish was completely perfect for this look because there's no fishing required when applying.

Flash On

Dr franken is a glitter bomb polish in a clear base. It's packed with multiple types and colors of glitter.

I definitely love this polish and it's perfect because it works over ANY color polish, you can also use this polish to create some cute jelly sandwiches! That just means you can use this polish sandwhiched between two layers of a sheer polish,

 

 

 As you can see here we have tons of hexagonal glitter in different colors and sizes, I can spot some teal,blue pink and yellow hex glitters and some silver micro glitter.

Since this polish has the glitter very well scattered everywhere I didn't have to fish for glitters at all, making it easier to even everything out and have a smooth surface as a final result!

SInce my surface was pretty smooth on it's own I didn't have to worry about layering a clear top coat I just went right for the matte. The matte top coat I use its called Matte about You and it's by Essie! I totally recommend it, it works just wonderful!.

 

Hope you guys liked this mani & decide to try it out!

If you have any requests on what nail art designs I should do next feel free to comment on the box & I wil try my best to have it up asap!

 

Love you all.

Orly-Miss Conduct.

Hey Everyone!

Today I broke one of my nails when I had planned to do some tribal nails :c so now that my nails are recovering, i'll be just swatching colors instead of doing nail art.

My nails have been growing pretty fast lately though so hopefully I'll be back at my good length soon.

Alrighty here's Miss Conduct.

Miss Conduct is a bright raspberry pink base with scattered holographic glitters.

The holographic effect isn't that strong but this is still a gorgeous color!

The application of this polish is great and it only took me two coats to reach full coverage.
All the pictures are two coats, no base coat and shiny top coat.

I believe this polish came out with the Naughty or Nice holiday collection.
It took me a while to find this polish, every time I would go check the sally's near me this color would be sold out.
I believe you can find this easily at Ulta, and it costs about 8.00 USD.

China Glaze's Avant Garden Collection Swatches.

Hey everyone!

I hope you guys are doing fine today.
I have two colors from the Avant Garden collection by China Glaze.

The first one will be Fancy Pants.

Fancy Pants is a medium toned blurple (blue-purple) with a very bright purple shimmer to it.

Fancy Pants is one of the 12 shades from the Avant Garden collection. I bought mine at Sally's Beauty Supply. The application of this color was quite awesome. Two coats gave me full coverage and the shimmer shows great, just not on camera.

The shimmer was really hard to photograph but you can kind of see it here under the China word. lol
This is the best picture I could get out of like 100 I took.

The second color I have today is Passion for Petals

Passion for Petals is a bright raspberry pink cream polish. I didn't think I would like this color but just in the rush of leaving the store with something I picked it up randomly.

I don't regret buying this polish at all, the formula was good, in the picture I used two coats, I feel like I should've put a third coat.

I might pick up some other colors from this collection later on, but honestly none of them really catch my eye.


If you are a blogger and would like to me check out your page just leave the link on the comment box.
I would love to expand my circle on the blogger nail community!



Don't forget to follow for more reviews & swatches. If there is any color in specific you would like to see leave a comment as well!

Have a nice night. ♥

The Hungry Asian's Indie Polishes.

Hi guys!
Today i'm reviewing this awesome Indie polish brand that goes by the name of The Hungry Asian.
I'll be reviewing two of her polishes that are part of my collection!

The first polish to be review goes by the name of Mint Condition is a bluish mint creme base with tiny glitters in it.

The formula of this polish is pretty amazing the polish wasn't too thick or runny.
You don't have to fish for the glitters at all.
How cute are these bottles huh?! these are the mini bottles and they are sold for $4.50 USD.

For the glitters we have a bunch of red,blue,purple and black micro glitter.This color is pretty opaque with three coats, you could use a mint green color as a base but I just used the polish by itself in this picture.

Okay, next up we have Strawberry!

Strawberry is a bright red creme with sparse black micro glitters.

The formula of this polish is perfect just like Mint Condition's.
In this picture I used 1 coat of Essie's Really Red as undies, then applied two coats of Strawberry.
I really loved the effect this polish has, and it always makes me a little hungry to look at my nails while wearing this :p

As you can see in the macro shot, this polish is not completely packed with the black glitters like most glitter polishes are, I like how they are all scattered everywhere, giving you a different amount on each nail every time.
I think this girl is genius for coming up with this polish, and I think she should kick it up a notch and come out with Scented polishes :p That'd be awesome! wouldn't it?


You can purchase Hungry Asian polishes at Kae's etsy shop here
Her new Spring line is to die for and I can't wait to get my hands on them!

Mini Hard Candy Haul.~

Hello Guys!

Last night me and the bf went to Walmart to pick up some bubble wrap, and I was browsing through the make up isle, and saw that they had a display for the Candy Sprinkles Collection and I decided two pick two of these up to review for you guys!

Left to Right: Sweet tooth & Gummy green.

  First we will review Sweet Tooth.♥

Sweet tooth is a soft pastel blue crelly base with pastel microglitters.

 

This is the first Hard Candy polishes I've got and i'm so not disappointed of these. I'm glad I purchased them and that they're part of my collection now. 

For being only $4.00 these polishes are quite great! I've seen some girls' reviews about the Revlon polishes that are quite similar to this but just by looking at the bottle i'm not sure they're going to be good quality, and now that i'm running out of space everywhere to put my polishes in, I can't afford to buy stuff thats just going to be sitting there even though who am I kidding... i'm an addict! lol I tell myself I put all my polishes to use all the time.. (just my excuse to buy more) haha. So yeah got side tracked.

The formula is great for such cheap price! I though I'd have to layer many coats of top coat to get this to look decent but I was actually happy with the results by itself!

 

As for the glitter I am completely in love, the colors are so soft and perfect for spring!

We got pastel pink blue and white hexagonal micro glitters. I didn't have to fish for these at all, not dabbing application needed, just applied like regular non glitter polish.

Alrighty next up we have Gummy Green..

(Flash Shot)

 Gummy Green is a mint green crelly base with micro glitter.

This one really caught my attention the color reminded me of Mint Condition by The Hungry Asian.

I thought it looked really fun and pretty and also very suitable for the Spring!

 (Artificial Light Shot)

The application of this was super easy as well, I just brushed this on like regular polish.

I'm really happy I found this display at my local Walmart, I think I'll be going back tomorrow for some more of these. 

I liked the little smaller bottles as well, since I have such small space to keep all my polishes these save lots of space!

For the glitter we have micro hexagonal black and white glitter. I love it, I don't own another black & white glitter aside from Whirled Away by China Glaze (which I've never used).

I really like the fact that these glitters don't stick up at all. I don't usually use a top coat when i'm swatching multiple colors, or just swatching and removing my polish because its just a big waste :p

Alrighty guys that's it for today, I like the fact that i'm actually making myself write :)

Still hoping to get some feedback!

Have a wonderful night my polish addicts.

xo.

 

 

 

The search of the perfect Red Polish.♥

Hey guys!
It's been a while since i've been looking for the perfect red nail polish, and I certainly know I am not the only one that's been though this. Since I was little the only color of nail polish I really liked wearing was red, I was always into red polish.
Now that i am HUGELY obsessed with nail polish, I decided to put myself in the little quest of finding the Perfect shade of red nail polish.

Last week, I stopped by another walgreens to look for the new sinful colors collection that I still haven't come across to and I guess will have to end up buying online.
What I did find was a HUGE display of essie Polish, I usually get my drug store brand nail polish at CVS, but since I was already at this walgreens, might as well take a look, right?.

So I found this color that I thought would complete my search, It goes by the name of "Really Red" and it is made by Essie.

(Sun Shot)

One of the things that has tricked my eye when buying nail polishes is that sometimes I think a certain color looks like a really bright red in the bottle but when you wear it, it turns out to be a hideous bright orange mess.I personally don't wear orange polishes at all.

 Flash Shot

 

Okay, let's all just take a minute to appreciate this stunning gem. This Polish is the closest I can get to the red I picture in my head when I picture the perfect red.

Red nail polish will usually stain your nails and its a hassle to take off around your cuticles, but this polish was surprisingly not the same. It was really easy for me to remove this and it didn't even stain my nails, not even after not applying base coat prior to color.

Love the way it looks with the flash on. This color makes me feel classy and classic at the same time.

 

(Artificial Light Shot)

The formula of this polish is great, its definitely a red cream and its fully opaque in 3 coats ( what I applied on my nails) Two coats looks good as well but I could see a tiny bit through it so I decided to add the third one,it really does make a difference with this nail polish.

Hope you guys enjoyed this review.

Don't forget to follow. Goodnight lovelies!

Polish Addict Nail Mail ♥

Hey Guys!
I'm so sorry this post took this long, when I first started this blog I really wanted to commit to at least writing once a day since for college I need to improve my writing skills a lot if I want to succeed in the career I want.

So yeah I always paint my nails more than twice a day so there's no excuse for my being a lazy butt that's too lazy to just lay down and grab her laptop and type.
But hey i'm doing it now, so I guess i'll get started with the polish talk <3

The polishes I'll be reviewing are both from my fave indie polish maker, Laura Sanchez, her polishes go by the name of Polish Addict, and if you look through my previous posts you can find the 2 post long review I did about my Polish Addict collection.

Alrighty, the first polish I'll be reviewing is called "Spring Prom Queen".
Spring prom queen is a beautiful whitish pink with different shaped and sized glitters.

As you can see this polish has a cute combination of shades and looks perfect for the spring!

For some reason when I tried this color by itself it didnt really look so pink but I was in a rush so didn't really want to wait for it to dry so I could build up the tone so I just decided to use White on White by China Glaze as undies.

I had to fish a little for the glitters but at the end got a good amount and again, if i would've taken the time to do three coats with no undies i'm sure i would've gotten lots more glitter, but I really like how this looks so im satisfied :)

I really like the kinds of glitter Laura put in this polish they all go together so greatly!
The formula of this polish was great! and after a few nails glitter wasn't hard to get out at all.

Now the best part! The glitter of course! This polish contains Neon matte pink glitter and hearts, we also got the medium sized purple hex glitter, white hexagons, as well as white bar glitter,rectangles and squares.
I'm really loving the white bar glitter and the really tiny white hex glitter.


The second polish I bought this time is called "Cupcakes & Kittens"
I'm not really a fan of cupcakes myself but everybody loves kittens :p 
Since Spring is coming up I knew I had to get my hands on this because, this polish definitely screams spring!

 

Cupcakes & kittens, is a really soft pink crelly base packed with tons of cute glitters!

 

 This is 2 coats of cupcakes & kittens of White on white by China Glaze.

I didn't have to fish for glitters at all, I put this polish on just like i would put any plain color on.

This color is seriously so pretty and I wish this picture would've came out a little brighter, so my apologies for that. 

Cupcakes & Kittens is super packed with tons of pastel big and tiny squared and hexagonal glitter.
You have pastel pink,blue,green and lavander.

I'm loving this polish and will definitely wear sometime soon again! I recommend you guys to get your hands on this ASAP its sold on Laura Sanchez' Shop here.


Hope you guys enjoy this post and don't forget to follow for more posts. :3
