*Press Samples

Hello lovelies! I'm a day late with this post but there are still three more days of the October Polish Pickup event! So if you scroll through and see something you like there should still be time to snatch it up. With Animation as the theme there was quite the diversity of colors and finishes (in both my swatches, and the rest offered on the site). Let's take a look..

Painted Polish Rise & Grind Quartet + Pumpkin Spice & Chill Trio

Press Sample

Hello lovelies! Painted Polish is kicking off the Autumn season with two gorgeous new collections! First is the Rise & Grind Quartet which consists of four neutral polishes filled with holo microglitters. Although I don't drink coffee, I can appreciate anything inspired by it because I love the smell and love the rich brown shades! The second is the Pumpkin Spice & Chill Trio, consisting of two tawny orange shade with different elements and a gold holo glitter topper. The formulas were all easy to work with except for the glitter topper which takes a little more finessing. Let's take a look..

Hello lovies! Once again this post goes under the category of Why Have I Not Posted This? I honestly can't say why except that my blog posts have been sadly neglected. Before I wait another moment, let's take a look..

Different Dimension Tutti Frutti Collection

  *press sample

Hello lovelies! The love for summery neons is going strong and I am really pumped about this collection! The Tutti Frutti collection consists of six intense neon crellies with shimmer, and two white crellies with neon glitters. I found the formulas to be consistent throughout and they were nice and easy to apply, with exception to the one with large glitters of course which will always take a bit more effort. As a crelly formula they a partly sheer so they can show off that yummy shimmer. Be aware that neon polishes are very hard to capture accurately so you will probably see some variation in others' swatches. Let's take a look..

KBShimmer Endless Summer Collection + Sol Blue

*Press Sample

Hello lovelies! Look at me! I'm posting a collection review before its release!! I figured many of you would be all over this collection, given the excitement for Sól What? (a limited edition from February's Polish Pickup) and Sól Blue (another limited edition back for a second run)! These all have a colored jelly base packed with color-shifting flakes, and micro holographic flakes, and loose linear holographic flame. The large flakes will make you take a little more time with application but they're not difficult, and lay on the nail flat. Okay let's get to the swatches..

Glam Polish The Labyrinth Trio

Hello there! Here's another overdue post that I'm finally hitting "publish" on. Glam Polish collections are usually fandom based and I love when she makes Labyrinth ones! I actually just bought a Labyrinth mug online that arrived last week :). All three shades are stunning with nice formulas. Even the shade with round glitters was easier to apply than expected. Let's take a look..

June Polish Pickup 2020: Cocktails and Mocktails

*Press Sample

Hello lovelies! Last month my trusty DSLR I've been using all these years went kaput and I've been in camera limbo. Some of these photos were taken beforehand, some with my phone, and the last swatch was taken with my new camera that I'm just beginning to learn how to use. The KBShimmer shade was the one I was photographing when my camera died. So if you buy that shade, beware of photographing it ;). Okay, let's get to the photos because Polish Pickup starts tomorrow and ends Monday!

Hello! Is anyone still there? I know I've been woefully absent from my blog and it may be that way for some time. I have still been doing a fair amount of swatching but instead of posting them here I've been focusing more on my Instagram. Posting one photo at a time is more the pace that I need at the present. So I have shared a few of this collection's polishes already but here are all twelve of them!
