I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and spent them with those closest to you. Our holidays were very quiet, spent with our immediate family, and all of the kiddies had a blast which is most important.<br />
<br />
A few months ago I was introduced to a new indie brand and fell in love. Tonight I will be showing you guys Daphine Polish, and I think you'll be immediately hooked as I was.<br />
<br />
The first polish I want to show you is Bahplumbug, adorable name that was picked by one of Daphine's Facebook fans. Bahplumbug is a beautiful dusty purple linear holo polish, you all know my love for purple so this was my favorite out of the holiday collection. The application was effortless and the polish held up perfectly for 4 days before I had any chipping.<br />

The next pretty I have from Daphine Polish is also from the holiday collection, Skating was made with an instrumental from A Charlie Brown Christmas in mind. This topper is a mix of metallic, matte and holographic blue and silver glitter along with blue diamonds in a clear base that has a gold shimmer. It sounds like there is a lot going on in this polish but it is so soft and feminine that I couldn't stop staring at my nails. This polish was the one I received the most compliments on out of the three and when you see it you will understand why. I didn't have any problems with glitter placement and the formula isn't thick at all, one quick coat was more than enough to have every single type of glitter on my nails.</div>

Lastly, Frosty is a must have from Daphine's holiday collection. Frosty is a topper as well, that would look lovely on top of any base and is chock full of glitter. I haven't seen so many different types of white and iridescent polish in one bottle before, there are squares, hexes and bars all in different sizes. Again, application was unbelievably easy for a topper, one coat was all I needed and I didn't fish once. Don't let the name fool you, Frosty can be worn year round and look gorgeous for any occasion.</div>

It has been such a gloomy few days here for us, which stinks when you're trying to get some beautiful holo polish in the sunlight, it also means that I have been stuck inside with the baby. I am really dreading the winter, it is getting harder to entertain Gia but I really am proud of some ideas that I come up with. Mini dodge ball in the house, clean up party, which is how I try to make cleaning up fun, finger painting, jewelry making, anything crafty we have done and I'm starting to run out of ideas! You can lose your sanity quickly being home alone with a toddler but thank goodness for polish.<br />
<br />
You guys know how much I love Lyn B Designs and tonight I have a new beauty that is being added to the line tomorrow at noon, Fa-La-La-La-La-La-La-Ven-Der is a limited edition polish that you will only be able to get up until the end of the year. La-Ven-Der is right up my alley, it is a stunning purple/gray scattered holo polish that is so soft and feminine yet strikingly beautiful at the same time. I have done many posts on my love for gray, purple and purplish gray polish so when I received this bottle of prettiness I was one happy polish addict. Mother Nature was not on my side when it came to getting sunlight pictures but I promise you, this lovely has a beautiful rainbow effect when the light hits it. Take a look... <br />

I am really hoping that you all had a fantastic holiday, and now that all of the hard work and overeating is finished this evening would not be complete without some new indies to swatch and show you. Of course, I am thankful for my daughter Gia, my husband, family, friends, the roof over my head, my health and all of that good stuff but I am also thankful for some good polish and how can I end the night without giving myself a manicure?! My nails have taken such a beating in the last few days with all of the cooking, cleaning, scrubbing, stuffing, you know all that fun holiday prep work (can you feel the sarcasm?) so I have trimmed them down to nubs, and have an awesome collection tonight so lets get started.<br />
<br />
I was introduced to Gothic Gala Lacquers recently, many of you already know from my last post which was a custom made by the lovely creator Samantha, and tonight I want to show you her holiday collection which will blow you away. It is a collection of five new stunners and a new top coat that will smooth over any glitter polish that you may have a problem with.<br />
<br />
The first of the beauties I bring to you tonight is Winter Wonderland, a beautiful opalescent white polish that has an incredible shimmer to it when the light hits it. This is such a pretty winter white polish and goes on so smoothly! The formula is amazing and I achieved full coverage in only two coats, opalescent polish will leave brush marks so just make sure to use a steady hand when applying but I promise the little bit of extra work is well worth it.<br />

This holiday collection also includes a lovely blue jelly, glitter polish called Blue Christmas which will be on your ISO list for sure. This is the perfect jelly sandwich, you have a mix of medium sized white and gold hex glitter along with micro silver and gold glitter throughout this amazing bright blue jelly base. The glitter was a dream to work with, I didn't have to fish or worry about placement at all and only two coats did the trick and left me with a perfect sandwiched manicure. I topped this mani with Gothic Gala Lacquers Smooth Me Over and my nails looked almost like stained glass windows, this is a great glitter smoother without the fumes or sticky mess.</div>

This collection has it all and next up is an amazing glitter topper that will go with just about any polish you want to put underneath. Snowfall is a clear based topper with micro and small sized hex glitter in silver, gold and peachy pink. The application was a breeze, I didn't have to worry about pulling or glitter placement here at all and this will look incredible on top of almost an color.</div>

This polish was one of my fav's out of the collection, Auld Lang Syne is another beautiful topper consisting of black and silver glitter, scattered holo, and OH MY is it lovely! It is jam packed with glitter, but not to the point that it is too thick to apply, the glitter brushes on so evenly that I only had to apply one coat of this stunner. Any shade will look great as an undie with Auld Lang Syne and I know that I will be wearing it year round.</div>

Of course, I saved my favorite Gothic Gala Lacquer for last, It's Raining Glitter is the ultimate girly-girl topper. This polish is packed with three different sized dots, diamonds and hexes in pink fuchsia, silver, purple and green, it also has a scattered holo and is pretty much everything that I love about polish packed into one bottle. The application, again was dreamy, I had so much fun placing these pretty glitters on to my tiny nubs. I cannot wait until I have some more growth so I can play with it again.</div>

I'm sure you're all busy getting ready for Thanksgiving, I know I am, but there's always time for some swatches. I want to give you a little background on the name of this custom before I get into swatches and such. You all know my daughter, Gia, how much of a girly-girl she is and that she shares a love for pretty polish just like her Momma. Every time Gigi sees a pretty polish on my nails she flips for it, always complimenting me and letting me know how much she admires it. What Gia usually says to me is "Momma! That is prettiful!" Prettiful, my 2 1/2 year old daughter combines pretty and beautiful and that is the end result, so when I was asked what I wanted to name this polish Prettiful was it! <br />
<br />
I asked Samantha, the creator of all Gothic Gala Lacquers, if she could make me a beautiful purple holo (yes, I have a problem with purple holos too) and she accepted the task without any hesitation. I explained to her the color I was hoping for and she kept in great communication with me, showing me pictures and asking me how I liked the progress. The last picture blew me away, and I couldn't wait to get Prettiful into my hands. It is a beautiful dusty, purple scattered holo polish that takes your breath away. The application was effortless and the formula is rich and silky smooth. Take a look at this stunner, with and without flash so you can get the full effect of Samantha's talents.<br />

I hope you all are having a great week and survived all of the <span style="background-color: white;">pre-order</span> and restocks that went on. The polish Gods were on my side for once and I was able to nab most of what I wanted. On the home front though, Gia has a nasty little cold and once again we've been stuck indoors. The weather has been pretty chilly, so I think no matter what we wouldn't have been outside exploring too much but with her not feeling well I haven't been able to get a lot of swatches to you guys this week. Hopefully, my little one gets over this nasty congestion quickly and we're able to do something exciting with her this weekend. I was able to get a few swatches done so lets get to them.<br />
<br />
Tonight, I have the All Access Collection from Cult Nails and I love them all. This collection is made up of five different colors, three crèmes, a gold glitter topper and a beautiful jelly with some crimson glitter shards within it.<br />
<br />
First I bring to you guys Grunge which is described as "the perfect military green creme that is blended with just the right amount of femininity" and I think this is pretty spot on. Grunge is such a rich and creamy polish that I fell in love with it right away. Aside from the formula and color being so dreamy, it is also a true one-coater.<br />

Next up I have Wack Slacks for you all, I love the name by the way. All I can say is, what a beautiful blue that is described as "a bold blue creme that sets itself apart by leaning, slightly, purple." You can see a hint of purple when you catch this beauty in the right lighting and then back to a deep blue in the shade. The formula was perfection, and Wack Slacks is almost a one-coater as well but I applied two for full coverage.</div>

Another beautiful creme in this collection is Lamestain, a beautiful crimson, vampy, blood red polish. Two coats was all that I needed for full coverage and I don't have a single complaint when it comes to this beauty.</div>

I was drawn to Disillusion because the berry colored shreds of glitter in the bottle were beyond amazing. I wore this polish alone and just want to note that it is best to wait for each coat to completely dry before applying the next. The glitter shreds can be a little difficult to work with, and will pull if not completely dry, but if patience isn't a strong point for you then I suggest wearing this over a black polish and you'll get the same effect.</div>

Lastly, we have the glitter topper of this collection, Feedback. The glitter was the same as in Disillusion, nice thick shreds of glitter in gold, pink and orange and I thought it looked lovely on top of Grunge. The application can be a little tricky since it is shreds, instead of flat standard shaped glitter, but it is worth the tiny bit of effort. I love the end result and all I needed to seal the deal was a thick top coat to lock it all into place.</div>

The All Access Collection is still available for $12 per bottle on the <a href="http://www.cultnails.com/">Cult Nails</a> site and definitely worth checking out. I don't wear a lot of glitter, as you guys know, but I really enjoyed applying these as well as wearing them.

What a cold, gloomy day it has been here but I had my two nephews over earlier which really brightened things up for Gia and I. You would think a house full of three children under 6 would be enough to drive me to drink, but it was really quite pleasant and I was so happy to see all of my babies together. Gigi adores her big cousin and was absolutely agreeable to anything I asked of her as long as my nephew was here, it's really nice when you can see the kids forming bonds in front of your eyes. Enough sappy kid stuff and on to a beautiful indie collection!<br />

We all know how much I love Lyn B Designs, I really cannot get enough of this line and there is always something new and fresh being added to the shop. This time the creator, Jenna, has outdone herself again and added five new beauties to her They're Better in Books Collection, which will be released tomorrow. A lot of the time when we think of indie polish we automatically think of beautiful glitter toppers, glitter jellies or stunning rainbow holo's but these five additions are the most amazing crèmes and jellies that I have seen in a long time, whether being from an indie or big brand.<br />
<br />
I had to try White Fang first because the brightness of this perfect white stood out from the rest. Some of you may be thinking, "What's the big deal of a plain white crème?!" but let me tell you, I have the hardest time trying to find that perfect white to either use as a base, accent nail or even wear alone and White Fang is my new GO-TO white polish. Usually white can be very difficult to work with due to streaking and the opaqueness of the formula, but White Fang is perfectly smooth and streak free. I was able to reach full opaqueness in two coats and I love the way it looks alone here.<br />

Since I was on a roll with the bright crèmes It's the New Black had to be next on my list. Neon polish has been a problem for me many, many times because most of the formulas are very thick and trying to get an even finish, without being too thick, is hard to come by but not the case here. It's the New Black is a beautiful crème, neonish orange that goes on smooth without any streaks, brush marks or pooling. All I kept thinking about was how lovely this polish would look in the summer against a nice crispy tan! </div>

After seeing such bright, vivid polish I moved on to the deeper tones and was so happy when I saw that there were new jellies in this collection. Leather Bound is such an incredible green jelly with some brown undertones, total autumn perfection and I love how the brown pigment hints through the green in such a subtle way. Jellies are always fun for me to work with and this polish was a blast, three coats built up perfectly and I received so many compliments on the finished product.</div>

These beautiful jellies were screaming to me and Like Blood or Berries is unbelievably, squishy, jelly polish perfection! It is described as a "deep berry colored jelly" and it looked like I had glass on my nails even before I applied a top coat. Three coats were used to have full coverage, but I probably could have gotten away with two, I really wanted to see how deep I could take this berry beauty and was floored by the outcome. I have so many ideas of jelly sandwiches that can be achieved with this polish in the future, and I know that I will get tons of wear out of Like Blood or Berries.</div>

I always save my favorite for last and I promise you will not be disappointed. When it comes to purple polish, I have a weakness, a true 100%, can't control myself, I need it now, no matter the shade, no matter the formula, I just NEED it, weakness and this polish is one I guarantee you need as well. I'm Your Huckleberry is a jaw dropping purple that will look beautiful on any skin tone, any time of year and for any occasion. It is described as a "blue toned purple crème" but those words just do not do it justice, the blue peeks through in the right lighting and the purple is so rich and creamy but bright and lively at the same time. Once again, the formula was great to work with and two coats went on problem free, which makes me so happy because you can have an amazing polish but if the formula is tricky to work with I most probably won't wear it again. I'm Your Huckleberry is another polish that will always be in my arsenal and will get plenty of wear!<br />

Our weekend was pretty boring, I have to admit, we did some chores and the hubby painted but that's as exciting as it got for us. I do however, have some exciting and stunning polish to show you tonight that I think you will just love!<br />
<br />
I was able to get my hands on a sneak preview of the Cult Nails Limited Edition Midnight Masquerade Collection and is it incredible. This collection is a mini, three full-sized polish collection for Fall 2013 and can be pre-ordered between now and November 14th for $24 as a set, or $12 individually, why not nab a set?! You might also want to know that this is in fact a Limited Edition and only 500 are being made so I would grab them while available.<br />
<br />
Lets take a look at the swatches! The first beauty to catch my eye was Masquerade, which is described as a "green [with] color shifting micro-glitter that blends from emerald to gold to magenta.” It is insanely gorgeous and the pink, magenta shimmer catches in any light, high or low. I had full coverage in two coats and there weren't any problems with the formula or application. Masquerade went on smoothly for me and dried beautifully, I was even able to get 4 days wear out of it which is a rarity when doing Mommy chores.<br />

Ms. Conduct was the next pretty that I tried and is described as a "rich taupe crème" polish. The shine on this crème is amazing, I couldn't believe how glossy and almost glass looking it seemed even before applying a top coat. The formula is a creamy dream and application was a breeze. Ms. Conduct is a beautiful, rich taupe polish that can be worn any time of the year since it is such a beautiful neutral shade. Take a look...</div>

Lastly, I bring to you all my absolute favorite out of the collection, Midnight Mist which is described as an “olive toned base with an intense copper/golden shimmer.” I love the shine to this polish and sometimes when I have used similar shimmers I have a problem with brush strokes but not the case, you have to look hard or in the right light to catch brush strokes with Midnight Mist.</div>

I hope you had a great weekend and are resting up for a new week. We had a great time in Salem for Halloween, and saw costumes that simply blew us away! My Gigi was the perfect Minnie Mouse and a pleasure to travel with. I was worried how she was going to do on a 5 hour drive, but thanks to technology (portable DVR and iPad) she was unbelievably good, we were even able to take a 90 minute haunted tour without a single peep from her. I know, I couldn't believe it either. <br />
<br />
I wasn't able to paint my nails while I was away and the night before I left I thought I would put a new stunner from the Essie Winter 2013 Collection on, Toggle to the Top. Out of the entire collection this was my favorite and stood out from the rest. Toggle to the Top is a dark garnet, berry, glitter packed, polish that is absolutely stunning. It is almost a perfect one coater but I applied two coats just to cover up any opaque areas, it dries super fast and almost matte but any topper will shine it right up. Take a look...<br />

Isn't it fantastic? I was in love with this polish when I first applied it and couldn't stop looking at my nails, especially in sunlight when the glitter was shining at its best, but my love affair ended quickly when the polish chipped in less than 24 hours. I didn't even make it to Salem when I noticed that I had a ton of chips and the polish seemed to be cracking on my nails. As beautiful as it is, just a heads up that you may not get a long wear out of this one.</div>

I know it's been a bit since my last post, but my computer has been giving me some problems and I wasn't able to get on. The last week has been extremely hectic, we're getting ready to leave tomorrow morning for Salem so we can be there during their Halloween events, but I wanted to share these swatches with you all before I leave. There's not much for the kids to do here in Staten Island for Halloween, aside from banging on our neighbors doors asking for candy, so we decided that a nice trip to Salem is in order. Last year Hurricane Sandy hit us pretty hard and Halloween was "cancelled", Gia was only 19 months so it wasn't the end of the world but I wanted to make sure she got to wear her Minnie Mouse costume this year.<br />
<br />
On to the polish! <br />
<br />
I have some beautiful polish from Jindie Nails to show off tonight, one of them is perfect for Halloween so I will start with that. Monster's Ink has a "bright yellow/green base similar to the color of Mike from Monsters Inc.. It has several fun glitters in it including matte light purple dots, matte dark purple diamonds, metallic violet medium dots, lilac holo large & medium dots, teal holo large dots, matte satin teal hex & squares, light green metallic dots, magenta large & small squares, silver dots, mauve small squares, pastel pink matte dots, white dots, lime green holo dots and hex, matte kelly green dots and diamonds and satin matte teal hex and just a few satin matte teal stars & diamonds." I had fun with this polish since it was full of so many beautiful glitters, it is extremely bright and screams HALLOWEEN on your nails.<br />

The next polish that I had to try was Anniversary Seaquins, this beauty was made to honor the one year anniversary of Jindie Nails. "This one is a beautiful medium blue shimmer crelly with light pink opaque dots, pastel yellow opaque dots, pastel peach opaque dots, moss green metallic squares, magenta large and small squares, mauve squares, light green metallic dots, kelly green matte medium dots, matte white dots & opaque matte medium purple dots. It's meant to be worn on its own and opaque in 2-3 coats." Once again, there was no need to fish for glitter and placement was nice and easy. I do recommend a nice thick topcoat since there is so much glitter, I used Glitter Tamer here.</div>

I was surprised to see the next polish because it wasn't the "usual" Jindie, it's a snazzy, sophisticated, tamed but fun polish. Harlow Can You Go is an exclusive for Harlow & Co. and boy oh boy is it beautiful! It is a nude, shimmer crelly with tons and tons of different glitter throughout. There is a mix of purple, gold teal and burgundy glitter in all shapes and sizes including dots, squares and hexes. Again, I recommend a nice thick topper for this polish and the application was just as easy as the others.</div>

Lastly, I bring to you guys Electric Grape. "Electric Grape has a bright neon purple, magenta toned jelly/crelly base with intense neon blue shimmer." This polish has been revamped and I had full coverage in three coats which built up perfectly. There weren't any problems with pooling, cleanup or streaks and I used a regular topcoat to seal the deal.</div>

I hope everyone is having a great night and that your week started off well, it was a busy day here but Gigi is down and it's some much needed Mommy time right now. This week is supposed to start getting very cold here in NYC, so I wanted to get Gia out as much as I could today before we are stuck indoors and I'm having daydreams of bashing my head into one of the walls. This meant the park, lots of walking around, visiting a friend recovering from surgery, the park again, then company from my sister and niece. The little one definitely wore herself out, got nice and cranky before bed and now my house is QUIET!<br />
<br />
I know a few weeks ago I showed you guys Strawberry Ice Cream Soma from Literary Lacquers and it received some great feedback, so I thought I would bring you some more from this amazing indie line. Tonight, I will be sharing three more beauties made by the very talented Amy of Literary Lacquers.<br />
<br />
First I bring to you Bionic Mmmm-Detector, you have to love these names! "This polish was inspired by Vox by Nicholson Baker, published in 1990. This entire book is one long anonymous phone sex conversation over a 1-900 number. This book, published in the midst of the AIDS crisis represents the ultimate safe sex in a pre-Internet era. This book gained even more notoriety as the book famously given to President Bill Clinton by the young intern Monica Lewinsky.<br /><br />Bionic Mmmm-Detector is a black jelly polish packed with aqua, teal, blue and green microglitter."<br />
<br />
The formula was perfect to work with and I didn't have a hard time with glitter placement, fishing, building or clean-up. I was able to apply two coats freely and it had a wonderful finish, there was no need for a very thick top coat, any will suffice since the glitter does not curl at all.<br />

Look at that glitter in the light, absolutely lovely. Removal was a breeze too, I didn't have to use the foil method and my nails are super soft but they weren't dinged or damaged. The polish lasted a nice 3 days before I had the tiniest chip on the side of my thumb, and you all know how Mommy chores can ruin a perfect manicure, so that is saying a lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I want to show you Midsummer Night's Dream, "this polish was created to evoke the starry midnight sky as seen through the eyes of a fairy. Deep shimmery blue, with small gold squares, black hexes, and holographic gold hexes, this polish shimmers and glows on the nail, drawing you into its dream world." The description couldn't be any more accurate because it really does have a glowing effect to it when the light catches it. The gold squares are amazing against the deep blue.</div>

An absolutely stunning, deep but yet bright, blue. I received many compliments on this polish, and again was able to wear it for three days without any chips. The glitter application was great, it went on smoothly and I was able to use Out the Door top coat as I normally would. If you are able to get your hands on this polish I highly recommend it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly I bring to you my favorite of the bunch, If It Pleases You, which is also from the Good Parts Collection. "This polish was inspired by The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice, originally published in 1983 under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure. It’s a kinky fairy tale, telling us what happens after the prince wakes Sleeping Beauty (not with a kiss this time…). If it pleases you is what Beauty is taught to answer questions by her masters. If It Pleases you is a deep plum with a touch of brown (or bruise colored if you will) linear holographic polish. 2 coats will give full coverage. In my experience, topcoat does not dull the holographic effect." With the first stroke I was able to see the full <span style="background-color: white;">plum </span>pigment in this beauty and really had to stop and stare at it, I just kept saying to myself "this is gorgeous, this is gorgeous." I started with two coats, and could have left it alone there but since it built so well I took it to three. Take a look at two coats.</div>

That rainbow, holo effect is just amazing and the finish was nice and smooth, not grainy or bumpy like some holos can sometimes be. I took this beauty to three coats and here is what it looks like.</div>

I know most of you can agree that if we were just left alone to sleep, no alarms, no work, no children, then we could probably sleep for a week. Luckily, for some people, yesterday was a day off from work and this will be a short one for them, all it meant for me was no nail mail or post man stalking. Fortunately, today my mailman finally made his way to me and I have a new beauty to bring to you.<br />
<br />
Today I received my first ever Colors by Laura K., Grip and Sip, and she is a beauty! Grip and Sip is described as "pinkish/purple scattered holo with a blue iridescent sheen. This color dries semi-smooth (it kind of feels like an eggshell) so a good topcoat is recommended." I applied three coats and the application was smooth, flawless and trouble free. I took Laura's advice and used a nice thick top coat, Butter London Quick Topcoat, which smoothed any textured finish. My mailman must have been jam packed since there wasn't mail yesterday, and he made it to me very late in the afternoon so I made sure to run out and catch what sun I could... Take a look.<br />

I have a soft spot for purple holos and this one really surprised me, the first coat was very light but the second and third were stunning. Grip and Sip catches the sun so well and the sparkle, shine and rainbow holo effect are jaw dropping. </div>

It was a gloomy, rainy, cold day here in Staten Island which means I stayed in all day trying to entertain Gigi. Luckily, my sister came over with my three year old niece and we had a mini pizza party for the girls. Entertainment for the both of them and some sister bonding for us, while breaking up tiny pulling wars over dolls.<br />
<br />
On to this evenings special reveal! As you all know from last nights post, I had the honor of swatching some pretties from the revamped Lyn B Designs Halloween collection and she threw in her new, limited edition, beauty All Holo's Eve. Just by looking at the bottle I knew this polish was special, it is a deep pigmented navy blue, linear holo that shifts to a pinkish purple. I love blue holo polish and this is one you're not going to want to miss out on!<br />

Look at that perfect rainbow effect in the sunlight! It is absolutely stunning and great to work with, the formula is a mix between a creme and jelly which went on smooth and easily. I used two coats here and there weren't any streaks or brush lines.</div>

This is a much earlier post than my usual ones, but I couldn't wait any longer to share these pretties with you! The other day I posted a "teaser" on my Instagram page and on a few polish groups that I belong to on Facebook. Many of you were trying to guess what the polish was and who it was made by, and as hard as it was I actually kept my lips sealed for the last couple of days. Well, the wait is over! I had the honor of having Jenna, creator of Lyn B Designs, send me some of her revamped Halloween collection and they are yummy! <br />
<br />
The first of the pretties that I tried was Nightmare Revisted, this is the polish that I teased you all with, SORRY! Nightmare Revisted is a beautiful bright pink, fuchsia linear holo that you will not be able to take your eyes off of. When polishing I noticing how smooth the formula was and how easy it was to apply, it built up to three coats easily and dried perfectly. Two coats probably would have been enough but I wanted to take it to a deeper fuchsia and see how it looked, I'm glad I did. If you look at the last picture you will be able to see Nightmare Revisted in two coats and the rest of the pictures are three coats. <br />

After being in awe of this beauty I couldn't wait to move on and the next night I polished with This is Halloween. I really cannot believe how great these formulas are and even got up out of my chair to show my hubby who could usually care less but he stopped and said WOW himself. This is Halloween is described as a "gorgeous deep purple base with copper colored duochrome. It's loaded with purple and orange smaller glitters". I didn't need to put this polish over anything and applied three coats without any troubles.</div>

I had a hard time choosing which polish to use next and my daughter chose Zero, which she calls "Halloween nails" and it really is a pretty accurate description. Zero is a white based polish packed with glitters of all shapes and sizes, no fishing for glitter with this one. There are white bars, small orange and red hex's, red and white squares, medium sized black hex's, red hearts and black stars. It really bothers me when I buy a glitter polish and have to scoop and fish for glitters, or worry about placement but this was hassle free.</div>

Lastly, I bring to you Pumpkin King. This is the perfect Halloween topper with all of its amazing orange, silver and black glitter. It has micro orange glitter, medium orange and silver hex, black diamonds and black bars. Another dream to apply, I used two coats and there wasn't any issues with curling, fishing or glitter placement, it went on completely smooth and just a regular quick-dry top coat sealed the deal.</div>

Sorry this post is another late one but its been one heck of a day with the princess. We cleaned early on, then went looking for turkeys (yes, we have wild turkeys here in Staten Island), went for a late lunch together, the park with my sister and niece, came home to cook, then got ready for my mother to swing by and get her hair colored with me, and that's what brings me to this late night post. <br />
<br />
I have the pleasure of being part of a High End polish group where we have just decided to do a traveling box. I know some groups have done this before but this was my first time and I have to say that it has been a total pleasure! The administrators of the group picked 11 people to participate in this first round, luckily I was fast enough to make the cut where we each had to donate two bottles of polish from our stash to start the box off. Fortunately I was number two in the lineup and Saturday the box made its way to me, talk about some EPIC nail mail, right?! I went through the box very carefully and was in awe of all of these high end beauties, but my jaw really dropped when I removed the last little black box and saw that it was Chanel Taboo! This polish has been on my ISO for a few months now and I had to catch my breath when I saw that it made its way to me, I mean it was the LAST bottle from the box! <br />
<br />
Chanel Taboo is high end polish at its best! It is a deep, vampy purple with a mix of pink, red and purple iridescence throughout. We have all seen those bottles of polish that have a great shimmer to them in the bottle, but when you put them on they fall flat or you can only see it glimmer in the right type of lighting, on the right day, at the right time and for a second or two... Not the case here! The polish went on great for me and is almost a true one-coater, I applied two just for full coverage and my little cleanup brush wasn't needed at all. It was a smooth application, free of flooding, clumping or streaks.<br />

Look at that sparkle and shimmer! I have to say that I was a bit worried about staining and a possible mess when removing but was relieved when it came off easily and clean, I just needed a little extra work around the cuticle area but nothing to cry over. I was able to get a full 5 day wear out of this polish without chipping, that includes laundry, diapers, dishes and baths so it speaks volumes. I think this is a perfect vampy fall color and will definitely wear it again!</div>

What a week I've had!! The baby was sick with a virus, which has finally run it's course, the hubby has been working 16 hour days so I haven't had an extra set of hands around the house, and my dopey dog injured his paw. Turns out my 140lb Rottweiler, which sounds so huge and aggressive but he's really a kitten, has allergies which irritated his toes. He wound up licking his knuckle bare to the bone and now has an infection in between his toes! For any of you who have had to take a furry, four legged baby to the vet you know what an expense this can be. What else to do but start selling some polish to raise some puppy funds. Tonight I had to say goodbye to one of my cherished polishes, Enchanted Polish August.<br /><br /> Now, when mentioning Enchanted Polish a lot of different emotions come out of people, I find that they either love it or can't be bothered. I think mainly because of how hard they are to find and then the price gauging on eBay. Personally, I don't think it's anyone's business what someone decides to spend their money on, but I do understand the frustration of not being able to get a polish you'd truly love. I mean we all have lemmings though, right?<br /><br /> I delved into the Enchanted Polish world very recently, just a few months ago and I do find a lot of them to be beautiful, but I have had some that I didn't think we're worth the aggravation of a restock. A few weeks ago I did get my hands on a beauty, August. This polish was amazing to me! It is not as bright as Water For Unicorns, but instead a beautiful deep blue/teal linear holo that is great for the end of summer beginning of fall. The application was great, not as thick as I have found some other Enchanted's to be, and two coats built up perfectly.<br />

August was definitely one of the Enchanted's that I never thought I would part with, but I had to put my big girl panties on and do what needed to be done to help the big boy. I must give credit to the lovely ladies who are in Enchanted Polish nail groups with me, they rallied together and spread the word that I was parting with my polish. They helped Guinness and I out, and also helped out girls who were trying to scratch off some polish from their ISO's. I was truly touched tonight by all the love, help and prayers that I received for my guy, it was overwhelming and truly appreciated!</div>

I first want to thank all of the new subscribers that have joined within the last few days, you rock! I hope you're all having a better weekend than I am, we woke up this morning to little Gigi running a fever of 103.4. Turns out the little lady has a virus, which <span style="background-color: white;">you can't do much for</span>, and has been spiking a fever every four hours. It is definitely going to be a long night, but she is fast asleep for now and I wanted to take this time to show you all a comparison of two lovely OPI Designer Series that I got my hands on.<br />
<br />
I was fortunate enough to get two very similar Designer Series polishes and couldn't help but notice how similar they are. OPI DS Illuminate and Classic are bronze and golden holo's that are perfect for this time of year. I know that they have been out for a while but I still get excited when I see them. <br />
<br />
The first polish that I put on was Illuminate, which is a brownish-bronze scattered holo duochrome which shifts green. It is hard to see the green in these pictures, but I promise it is there.<br />
<br />

After wearing Illuminate I couldn't wait to try out Classic. OPI DS Classic is lighter than Illuminate and has a golden tone to it. It is also a scattered holo not linear, which I prefer sometimes. This polish is a great neutral and I may actually leave it on for more than a day, which is saying a lot!</div>

Both of these pretties were perfect to work with. I applied two coats with each and a nice thick top coat of Essie Good To Go, I needed these babies to dry quick in case my girl woke up. I didn't need to clean anything up, didn't have a problem with brush strokes or clumpiness and was able to build up the coats perfectly.</div>

Literally Gorgeous!Hey, hey hey!!! Well it's the weekend, finally, and that means tons of errands, running around, dance school, gymnastics, all that good stuff (can you sense the sarcasm?). With all of this going on, at least I have a beautiful polish on my nails to stare at while I wait for Gigi to get out of ballet and tap.<br />
<br />
Tonight I bring to you Literary Lacquers Strawberry Ice Cream Soma. I received this polish in a swap and I am thrilled that I was able to get rid of a dust collector for this beautiful holo!!! Strawberry Ice Cream Soma is one of six from the Literary Liquors collection, and in my opinion the most beautiful! The creator of this beauty pulls her inspiration from books, hence the name Literary Lacquers, and this polish was created with the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley in mind. I must admit I have never heard of it, let alone read it, so no judging.<br />
<br />
When I first applied this polish I noticed that it is a sort of jelly and crème mix. The formula is perfect to work with, I didn't have a single complaint with the application. I was pretty satisfied with two coats but decided to push it one more and use three, it built up perfectly! Strawberry Ice Cream Soma is a warm pink linear holo that shifts to dark rose, almost purple at times and in the sun you get a total rainbow holo effect.<br />

This was my first experience with Literary Lacquers and I must say that I'm now a huge fan. Sometimes, I feel like it can be hit or miss when trying a new indie brand, you never know if it is really as great as you hear or all hype. This brand definitely can back up the hype, and I cannot wait to add more to my collection. There are six beauties in the Literary Liquors collection and they can be purchased at the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LiteraryLacquer">Literary Lacquers</a> Etsy shop. If you would like more information, including swatches, release dates and upcoming lines you can also become a fan at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LiteraryLacquers">Facebook</a> page.</div>

I am so sorry that this post is coming at such a late hour, Gia has been having a hard time going to sleep lately. She has been throwing tantrums, screaming and crying, asking to come downstairs and paint nails with me. As cute as that sounds, it's heartbreaking to listen to and harder to put my foot down and get her to sleep. They don't lie when they call it the Terrible Two's! <br />
<br />
Now, tonight I asked on Facebook what you would all like to see and the majority of you asked for my favorite shades of gray. If you know me then you know I have a love of gray nail polish! No matter if it is crème, matte, glitter, jelly, I just love gray nail polish. I feel like it can be worn anytime of the year but it looks extra cozy and very sharp in the fall, if you ask me.<br />
<br />
I have chosen my top five favorite gray nail polish and I made sure to include drug-store brand, main stream and indie for you all. Having a beautiful gray polish shouldn't be limited to super expensive or hard to find brands, but there are a lot of grays out there that are pretty crumby too. So lets get started with number five:<br />
<br />
Maybelline Impeccable Greys is a very dark gray with a subtle bluish tone to it. It can almost look navy or black in the right lighting, but it is a true gray. I made sure to use three coats here because there was a bit of a transparency issue with it, not in a jelly type of way but just in a thinner formula way. I think its absolutely beautiful and it had to make the top five!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Number four on my list is Nicole by OPI My Empire...My Rules. This polish is a gray but it does have a brownish-green tint to it. The formula is excellent and I love the way the color looks different indoors and then in sunlight. Two coats was the perfect amount and I didn't have a single problem with the application.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJFcrZBp3hjNhhT1OrS56A7YIT2oxpJtCZ8_hzHomqheljeSVYVNh5UfYmd9YGvktHynL2gVNPLenGw3Mk4S80Zwp2NgSpvWW4T-fLqosBwN3gIOdnKSI4pBmWQu2l4OaXmGs3NbutwU/s1600/empire.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJFcrZBp3hjNhhT1OrS56A7YIT2oxpJtCZ8_hzHomqheljeSVYVNh5UfYmd9YGvktHynL2gVNPLenGw3Mk4S80Zwp2NgSpvWW4T-fLqosBwN3gIOdnKSI4pBmWQu2l4OaXmGs3NbutwU/s1600/empire.JPG" height="305" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Number three on the countdown is Essie Power Clutch, this one is an oldie but definitely a goodie! It is a cool, neutral toned gray that can be worn any time of year. The formula is almost a one coater but I played it safe and applied two. I absolutely love how beautiful it looks and when I think of dark gray polish this is what comes to mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Number two is a new brand added to my collection this week, Chick Polish Gr8 Gray Owl. When I was offered it in a swap I had to snag it because it is a brand I have been wanting to try. This shade is a much cooler gray, I think due to the subtle light blue undertones in it, and a very creamy polish as well. It too was almost a one coater but again I applied two just to make sure the application was nice and even. I was very impressed with the formula and will be buying more Chick Polish in the future.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The moment you have all been scrolling for, my number one gray polish is... OPI French Quarter For Your Thoughts!!! To me, this polish sums up all of the other great shades I have chosen. It is a polish that can be viewed as a beautiful deep gray, or even as a neutral. I feel it is a polish that is appropriate for all occasions and also any time of the year. The formula was perfect to work with, not too thin or thick, no flooding, no clumping, there aren't any visible brush strokes and you have a perfect full creamy coverage with two coats. There aren't any blue, green or brown undertones in this polish at all, it is entirely GRAY!</div>

If you're able to get your hands on any of these definitely grab them, they'll be worth the money because you will get plenty of use out of them. I think I like gray so much because it can be worn any time of the year, unlike a bright neon pink or dark brown, and it can be worn for any occasion and look stunning.</div>

Ruby White TipsGood evening everyone!!! I know I haven't posted in about a week but the little princess has been keeping me on my toes. We started dance and gymnastics this week, plus had our first sleepover party with my 3 year old niece, so it was a little hectic and I didn't have much time to swatch or review. To make up for it I have a beauty for you.... <br />
<br />
I received my very first Ruby White Tips and I am now a loyal customer! I know a lot of you are fans of the show Breaking Bad, but I have to admit I've never seen it. I do however have one of the polishes from the Breaking Bad collection, Hell Yeah Science! When I received the pretty bottle, with its beautiful rhinestones on the cap, I couldn't wait to tear it open and put the polish on.<br />
<br />
Hell Yeah Science! is a beautiful pinky, rose, mauvish, light linear holo. I will be honest and say that you have to be careful with your application because you will see some brush marks if you don't polish nice and slowly. It is worth the effort though! This polish looks beautiful in the sunlight, unfortunately the weather in Staten Island wasn't cooperating with me so I don't have pictures to show you, but trust me its just lovely!<br />

The formula was very easy to work with, it didn't run, stain, flood and wasn't thick or clumpy. I used two coats and it was more than enough for full coverage. I received this polish in a swap but I will definitely be purchasing more!

Goodnight!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-431918965137824784.post-6203013961224117112013-09-11T19:18:00.001-07:002013-09-11T19:18:23.048-07:00Colors by Llarowe: Smooth Criminal and VampWell it's Wednesday guys, we made it half way through the week so pat yourselves on the back! It has been unbelievably hot here in NYC and trying to find things to entertain the baby with just keeps getting harder and harder the older she gets. Enough mommy griping though and on to the polish!<br />
<br />
I have two beauties lined up for tonight and I think you're all really going to love them! I would say the majority of us know the Miss Leah Ann Larowe for her amazing <a href="http://www.llarowe.com/">Llarowe</a> website with unbelievable and hard to find beauties. We all also know that she has started her own line, <a href="http://www.llarowe.com/catalog/Shop-by-Collection/Colors-by-llarowe">Colors by Llarowe</a> and tonight I will be showing you Smooth Criminal and Vamp.<br />
<br />
I'm going to be perfectly honest and tell you that I kept some distance from the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Llarowe/126027514153022">Llarowe Facebook</a> page and shop after the whole Lynnderella drama that happened last year. This was at no fault of Leah Ann's but the drama was just insane, the amount of nonsense that she deals with puts my patience to shame. I found myself back at the Llarowe shop looking for Enchanted Polish and once again, the BS that some girls were causing was enough to make anyone go nutty. I really give it to her, the complaints, the booty kissing thinking they're going to get something free, trying to be a new BFF, the crying, the whining, and with all of it she came out with some beautiful polish!<br />
<br />
I found that the easiest time for me, personally, to shop on her site is when there isn't a huge restock going on. Granted, you may have a harder time finding things in stock but trust me there are some great hidden gems on her page, not only when she is having a promotion or restock. I have bought some awesome Emily De Molly's and A England polish, but I did get my two CbL's when she restocked her polish.<br />
<br />
Smooth Criminal totally blew me away! I love blue holo's and this one goes right up there as my fav next to A England Tristam. This color is from her Tribute to Michael Jackson collection and she definitely honored him well. It is a bluish purple holo and almost a one coater, the pigment is very deep but I decided to go with two coats and it was just perfect! <br />

The next color I picked up was not from The Michael Jackson collection, Vamp stood out to me for its name and the vividness in the red pigment. When I put it on I was expecting something a little darker due to the name but it is a deep red, almost crimson, linear holo. I used three coats in my application but two coats would be just as beautiful. </div>

Both formulas were perfect to work with, I don't have one single complaint. There weren't any streaks, brush marks, no flooding or cleanup needed. The pigments are very deep and they can almost be one coaters, but two complete the job. All in all, Leah Ann makes a beautiful product and I will definitely be buying more Colors by Llarowe when they become available. If you would like to take a look for yourself just click <a href="http://www.llarowe.com/">Llarowe</a> to visit her shop and for her Facebook page you can "like" her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Llarowe/126027514153022">here</a>.

Gigi has gone to sleep, the hubby has vanished up to the bedroom with the dog and Mommy gets some quiet time to polish and share with you all.<br />
<br />
I know I said that I would take this whole week and devote each night to a different color in the Essie Fall collection but I have received so much great nail mail this week that I can't wait a few more days to try them out! So tonight I am going to wrap up the collection and Millionails so I can move on to some pretty indies and other beauties I've gotten.<br />
<br />
I want to start with Essie Millionails. For the longest time I have been using Quimica Alemana Nail Hardener as my go-to treatment. I love it, but it really does sting the nails at times and I decided it was time to try something different, so that's what brought me to Millionails. The box states that Millionails will build strength and resist peeling and splitting for visibly stronger nails, big statement to make but it is true! I have been using it for the last week as my base and have noticed how much stronger my nails are and they are growing much faster. Between diapers, baths, dishes and laundry my nails can sometimes become very brittle and the edges snap right off, but I have not had a single chip in the last week! If you have any sort of weakness issues with your nails I highly recommend Millionails, it also leaves a super shine to your nails if you're short on time and can't polish.<br />

The next polish I want to show you all is For The Twill Of It. When I saw the bottle I really thought it was a beauty and was super excited to try it, when I polished though I was very disappointed. It is a multi-chrome polish that shifts silver, pink and blue but the big downfall to this polish is the brush marks and streaks. If you are a true multi-chrome lover then definitely give it a try but beware, you will have to be very careful with your strokes.</div>

Twin Sweater Set is a perfect crème red and can be your basic, go-to red polish if you don't already have one that you love. There's nothing super special about it but it still is very pretty. I used two coats and it went from a light red to a more crimson color with the second coat. I didn't have a single problem with the formula or application and with the first coat it almost seemed to have a jelly look to it but it is a true crème.<br />

Vested Interested is a beautiful crème gray with a bit of a green or teal color to it. The formula was a dream to work with! No streaks, brush marks, not a single bit of flooding around my cuticles, I even didn't have to use my trusty clean up brush so that says a lot! I love gray polish any time of year but I think this is a beautiful fall polish and can still be worn year round.</div>

So to wrap up the Essie 2013 Fall collection I would definitely grab Cashmere Bathrobe, After School Boy Blazer and Vested Interest if you have the chance! The others in the line are pretty, don't get me wrong, but in my opinion they're not ones to run out and buy right now.</div>

Tomorrow I have two gaaaaawgeous holos to show you guys, I really just couldn't wait any longer. Hopefully I have a quiet and somewhat normal day (what's that??) and wont be too exhausted to swatch. I hope your week started off great and if your kids started school today that they had an awesome time.</div>

I hope you all had a great weekend and for those of you who are in NYC too, how happy are you that the kids go back to school tomorrow?! This weekend was just a bunch of mistakes made by me, you could totally tell I'm a first time mommy because an experienced one never would have done what I did. Yesterday I told you guys that I went food shopping with my 2 1/2 year old at noon and then today I decided to troop it to Target with my daughter, mother, sister and niece. We were looking for dance apparel for the girls because they'll be starting tap and ballet, but none of us realized it was the day before school starts and everyone would be getting their last minute supplies. Another FAIL made by this first time mommy and another LESSON LEARNED!!!<br />
<br />
One of the things that I got right this weekend was polishing with my absolute favorite color out of the Essie Fall collection, Cashmere Bathrobe! This polish is absolutely gorgeous, it is a smoky, charcoal gray with smooth micro glitter throughout. Another perfect formula here, there wasn't flooding, streaking or problems with the glitter. Sometimes we buy polish that has a glitter to it in the bottle and when we apply it you can hardly see it, but that's not the case here. This is two coats of this beauty and I think it is fall perfection. Take a look:<br />

The camera picked up the glitter as best it could I guess but this gray is much more lovely in person! I wasn't going to make you wait until the end of the week to see my MUST BUY out of the collection, and trust me the rest are definitely worth picking up if you're able to! </div>

I hope you all have a great Monday, that your kids start a wonderful school year and I'll be here tomorrow night with another beauty from the fall collection once Gigi has gone to sleep and allows me to polish.</div>

Such a crazy day of cleaning and food shopping, which is a total mistake to do on a Saturday afternoon with a toddler... Lesson learned!!!<br />
<br />
So on to more important things, today is Day 2 in my week devoted to Essie's Fall 2013 collection and I will be reviewing After School Boy Blazer. This polish is my second favorite in the collection, don't worry soon I will let you know what my absolute FAV is. It is a super dark navy, midnight, almost black, blue with a crazy shine to it. When I first saw the shine on other swatches I thought it was a jelly for a second but nope, its a total crème with an insane shine to it! The polish was pretty easy to work with, just some minor flooding around the cuticles but nothing a good angle brush couldn't pick up. I used two coats here and it was just right!<br />

Again, for this mani I used Essie Smooth Trick cuticle oil, Essie First Base base coat and Essie Good To Go top coat. It may be a little OCD but I really think that using the same brand together makes a difference in my manicures, or I could just be telling myself that!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I'll be reviewing my favorite color out of the collection so make sure to pop in and see what craziness Gia has put me through during the day and what color I think is a MUST GET out of this collection!<br />
