Random Swatches and Combos

Morning everyone! I still had a few swatches on my computer before my camera broke. I thought I would share them in one post instead of splitting them up because my nails have gotten longer since doing these. :)

 Elevation Polish Pic de Sotllo is described as a vibrant blue creme. All nails are 2 coats with top coat. 

Elevation Polish can be purchased through her BigCartel store. It is stocked every 7th (at 9 PM CST) and 22nd (at 9 AM CST). Find information about restocks and new colors on Lulu's blog and follow her on Instagram.  

Enchanted Polish Flamingo Freckles has a pink jelly base with scattered holo, iridescent flakes and pink, orange and white glitters. For these photos I layered 1 coat over 2 coats of Elevation Polish Pic de Sotllo. 

 Enchanted Polish Octopus's Garden is a purple based multi-chrome holographic. Shown is 2 coats with top coat. I added a few photos of this polish to try to capture all it has to offer. ;) 

Enchanted Polish Mr. Burgundy is a burgundy holographic polish. All nails are 2 coats with top coat. 

Enchanted Polish is available through EnchantedPolish.com, Nail Polish Canada and Mei Mei's Signatures. Most of these colors are out of stock or no longer available, so keep an eye out. :) Follow Enchanted Polish on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

 These next photos are some random combos I did with the Zoya Bubbly Collection and Tickled Collection. :)

Here is 2 coats of Tilda and Stassi dabbed on the tips.

This mani I started with 2 coats of Rocha and sponged on Alma and Jesy. My camera really did not want to capture it because it was so sparkly. :P 

My last combo is 2 coats of Rooney and Harper in what I like to call a "halfi-cure". :P

Find these Zoya polishes and more through Zoya.com. Follow Zoya on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and their blog for information about new upcoming colors and deals.

KBShimmer Early Summer 2014 Collection Reviews & Swatches

Hi everyone! I hope you are ready for a huge post! I've spent most the day finishing the swatching and editing for this post, so that's the reason it's so late. :P  Formula for everything was as I have come to expect from KSBhimmer: easy to work with, quick to dry and no problem getting glitters out of the texture polishes. 

I decided to use a cut because there are close to 50 pictures here (48 to be exact :P ), so click "Read More" to see swatches, compares and some nail art! :)

Shimmer Polish Airriann, Karen, Tracy and Wendy Reviews & Swatches

Hey everyone! Of course, as I assumed no extra post from yesterday. >_< Yesterday was more insane than normal and ended with my son spilling an ounce of loose glitter all over my carpet, so that was...fun. Let's try to aim for an extra post for today...maybe? :P

Anyways I have some more awesome glitter mixes from Shimmer Polish to share with you all. As always from Shimmer Polish, these polishes all had a perfect formula! :)

Press Sample

Airriann is a described as a pale pink glitter mix. Shown is 1 coat over 2 coats of Elevation Polish Epidote with top coat.

I think combo goes together pretty well, don't you? Sometimes it's good to follow pairings from the color wheel because they just work. ;)

 Karen contains a mixture of lavender, plum, silver and pink glitters in various shades, sizes and shapes. For these photos I used Karen in a gradient over 3 coats of Above the Curve Aphaea.

 This turned out super girly, and even though it's far from the normal for me...I love it! :P

Tracy is listed as a tarnished gold holo glitter mix. All nails are 2 coats of Lumina Lacquer Homesick at Space Camp with Tracy used as a gradient. 

 My high school colors were gold and blue, so I think that's why my mind put these 2 polishes together. Once again though, they work great together! :)

Wendy has a various shapes and sizes of purple, copper, silver and blue glitters. These photos are 1 coat of Wendy over 2 coats of Elevation Polish The Med.

Over The Med, Wendy really adds to the mermaid looks. :) The glitters remind me of little scales. ;)

Find Shimmer Polish through Etsy. To see more swatches and information about each specific shade offered visit Shimmer Polish's blog and find information about the customs she offers. Also, make sure to follow Shimmer Polish on Facebook, Twitter and on Pinterest!

Lumina Lacquer Homesick at Space Camp & Pinball Wizard

Hey everyone! I have a quick post for today and hopefully another post to follow later tonight. I make no promises on another post though. Anytime I seem to do that I can never stay true to my word. >_< So I will just stick with a "hopefully". ;)

Homesick at Space Camp is royal blue holograhpic. All nails are 2 coats with top coat.

This polish is gorgeous!! The formula was perfection as well and didn't leave me with any staining. :) So it's amazing all around. ;)

Pinball Wizard has a clear base filled with various shapes, sizes and colors of matte glitters. Shown is 1 coat of Pinball Wizard over 3 coats of Elevation Polish Echinops.

Lumina Lacquer never dissapoints with fun glitter mixes and Pinball Wizard is no exception. :) All of the glitters, even the larger ones, were very easy to get out and gave me no troubles at all. Now if only I could get my nails to light up and really look like a pinball machine. :P

Both of these colors are currently out of stock, but make sure to follow Lumina Lacquer on Facebook, Instagram and through her newsletter to stay up to date on restocks. :) You can find a few polishes in stock now through Lumina Lacquer's BigCartel store. 

Elevation Polish Echinops, Epidote, Sample HBY #5 & The Med

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday! I plan on doing 2 posts to day to make up for it. ;) First up let's start off with a few recent purchases I've made from Elevation polish. :)

Echinops is described as a soft Lavender/bluple creme base with medium/low density holographic pigment. Shown is 3 coats with top coat.

 The holo in this polish is pretty low in my opinion, but I like the over all color so it works out well. :)

Epidote is an olive/moss green holographic polish. All nails are 2 coats with top coat.

 I say this in the nicest way, but this is one of those ugly-pretty colors. :P I really love it, though I could see why this color may not be everyone's cup of tea. ;)

Sample HBY #5 is Pic du Gar with multi colored shimmer.  Here is 2 coats with top coat. 

My camera didn't want to pick up the red undertones this polish has to offer. :( You can see the true color in the listing for Pic du Gar. I actually didn't realize this sample was Pic du Gar with shimmer..until writing this post, luckily I don't own it. ;) My mind sees sample, one of kind, only X number made, etc. and somehow actual reading goes out the door and MUST BUY enters my head. :P

The Med contains blue and green shimmers in a bright blue base. All nails are 3 coats with top coat.

The Med is amazing! I really hope Lulu brings this back as a permanent color because everyone needs it! I feel a little guilty about owning this polish because Atlcatsmeow was able to snag it for me and this color just screams her. Luckily, I was able to grab her Sample HBY #9 during the last restock and I hope she loves it. :) If you are wondering how the 2 polishes compare, I included a side by side shot at the end of this post.

Unfortunately Sample HBY #5 and The Med were samples/small batch prototypes, so they aren't something that will be stock again in Elevation Polish's BigCartel store.  :( However Echinops and Epidote will be something restocked during Elevation Polish's normal restock times; the 7th (at 9 PM CST) or 22nd (at 9 AM CST) of every month. :) For more information about restocks and new colors visit Lulu's blog.
