January Polish Pickup: Mythology

*press sample

Hello my Society Sisters! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! My family and I have been enjoying our time together, especially now that we're all over our colds. For this end of the year post I have five polishes from the upcoming January Polish Pickup. The Polish Pickup is a four-day event each month where dozens of indie nail polish brands create limited edition polishes inspired by the chosen theme. In addition to polishes there is now the "Indie Pickup" on the same website which offers cosmetics, hand & nail care, jewelry, etc, during the same dates. Let's take a look..

Colores de Carol Winter Quad (Thermals)

 *press sample

Hello! Are you all ready for Christmas? I sure hope I am because I really need to rest and get healthy so I can enjoy the holiday! Oh and if I could catch up on my blog posts, that would be great too. I have the Colores de Carol Winter Quad for you, consisting of four tri-thermal shades with ultra chameleon chrome flakes and aurora shimmer. These were my first tri-thermals I've even tried and was impressed by how distinctive each shade was in transition. The formulas were consistently smooth and easy to apply too. Let's take a look..

Painted Polish Ho Ho Holo 2.0 and By Golly, Be Jolly

*press sample

Hello lovelies! I hope you were able to see my swatches on Instagram ( I feel like I say that all the time now), because one of these shades is already sold out. I thought for sure I'd get this posted right away but once again I am sick. This is the THIRD cold in three months! It's not that bad actually, but this time my entire family got sick. Boo.

Hello lovelies! I have lots of great gift sets from Zoya to share. If you're still searching for Christmas gifts, or of course if you're looking for a good deal so you can gift yourself, I've got some great options for you! I swatched three of the nail polish quads and six of the lip duos that are currently being offered. Let's take a look..

The Holo Hookup December 2018: Cell-a-brate Biology

*press sample

Hello lovelies! I am in love with January's The Holo Hookup polishes! The color story is bright and beautiful and all of the formulas are perfect in two coats. The theme "Cell-a-brate Biology" seemed a little out of left field but as long as it produces great polishes, I'm on board! This month the contributors are the three permanent indie brands- Cupcake Polish, Different Dimension, and Glisten & Glow- with guest brand Bee's Knees Lacquer!

Hello lovelies! I have the follow up to Painted Polish's Holiday Harvest Part I which was made up of four beautiful micro holo jelly shades. These next four are for the flaky lovers with the same color story in mind.

Painted Polish is continuing the Holiday celebrations with Part II of the ‘Holiday Harvest’ collection! It features four festive crellies packed with a variety of color-shifting chrome flakies!

I also have a giveaway there of this whole collection that ends tomorrow! China Glaze has teamed up with the new DR. SUESS' THE GRINCH movie and created eight holiday-worth limited edition shades.

Glam Polish I’d Have Ugly Nails Without Nikki Duo (Limited Edition)

*press sample

Winter is the worst! Everyone keeps on getting sick and it's only December. If you follow my Instagram account you'll have already seen these polishes. I've been able to keep up with posting on IG, but I just haven't had that extra bit of energy to post on the blog. I'll be trying to catch up on that this week so if you see multiple posts a day, that's why!

The limited edition "I’d Have Ugly Nails Without Nikki” Duo was created to celebrate Nikki’s 5th anniversary with Glam. The duo consists of two multicolored holo bombs that apply easily with full coverage in two coats.  

ORLY Deep Wonder Collection (Winter 2018 Color Pass Box)

*press sample

Hello lovelies! Today I have swatches of ORLY's Deep Wonder collection to share. This collection is part of the Winter 2018 Color Pass Box that also included a BIG tub of ORLY Cuticle Therapy Cream, and Pravana Intense Therapy hair mask. I haven't tried the hair mask yet but I like the feel the cuticle therapy, though the scent is a bit grandma-y. The Box is a really great deal for those who love to buy full collections, plus if you read on to the end I have a discount code for you! I really like the color range in the collection, it has a very 90's vibe for me. The formulas were all very nice with a couple of one coaters. Let's take a look..
