Living Dead Lacquer: Ultron Trio

These beauties will be releasing tomorrow, 4/24/15. Living Dead Lacquer is a newer indie brand with great quality polish, plus the owner, Hilarie, is super nice as well and a nice owner is always awesome to see!  All three polishes dried quickly with no smudging. Up first I have Mark XLIII, inspired by Iron Man.

As you can see Mark XLIII is a beautiful shimmery red with small gold hexes. I used three coats, but opacity could be reached at two to three coats, depending on how think you put it on.

This beauty is No Strings On Me, inspired by Ultron himself. It’s a shimmery silver with small red and black hex glitters. Opacity can be reached in two to three coats, I did three here.

This is Super Soldier, inspired by Captain America. This polish can look almost black on your nail but has this wonderful flash of navy when you move your fingers around. It’s very beautiful in person, and probably my favorite of the set. It has small red and silver glitters throughout as well too. Opacity in two to three coats, I did three here.

First up is the strip, a black jelly with blue glitter.

Fangirl Polish: Everything is Awesome! Collection

Today I have the entire Everything is Awesome! Collection from Fangirl Polish. Sorry I haven’t been posting as much, life got kind of busy! Anywho, this beautiful collection was inspired by The Lego Movie! Her son even helped her work on it, which I find adorable and, well, awesome. This is a six part set, so let’s get to it.

First up is Face of Yellow, a bright fun yellow jelly. Inspiration is obviously the iconic lego faces.

This polish is super squishy, but reaches opaque easily. This is three coats for this coverage. This polish is perfect for any jelly sandwiches you can come up with.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Fangirl Polish Face of Yellow, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Up next is Wooooooooo! a beautiful white with subtle shimmer that glows in the dark.

Look ma, my first gitd shot!  This glows much brighter in person, my camera wasn’t having an easy time picking it up. It was once again three thin coats for opacity and dry time was excellent, as it is with all her polishes.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Fangirl Polish Wooooooooo!, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Up next is this beautiful blue, Spaceship!, a holo filled jelly.

This color could definitely work in a space themed sandwich, which is appropriate with the name. I may have to do one myself down the line. For this opacity three coats were used.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Fangirl Polish  Spaceship!, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

This is This is my Jam, a metallic silver with small fine holo glitter.

I adore the sparks of holo in this. There is a lot in the polish, and you can see some of it in the photo. Two coats for opacity with this one.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Fangirl Polish This is my Jam, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

This is Wyldstyle a black crelly with blue and pink glitters.

You have to look closely to see how packed it is with glitter. It shows off a lot more in person, but it’s like a fun little hidden mystery. Opacity in three coats with excellent dry time.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Fangirl Polish Wyldstyle, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Last but not least is Stay Positive a beautiful pink with pink glitters and fine holo.

This is a beautiful shade of pink and the glitters just add to that. Opacity in three coats, awesome dry time and no smudging.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Fangirl Polish Stay Positive, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Another great collection from one of my favorite brands. They are all in stock now and can be purchased individually or as a set for a discount. She also just started a cool new thing of a one shot polish that releases every Wednesday. It’s available for a week or until it sells out, whichever happens first.

Regal Ween Lacquer: Middle Earth Part 1

Today I have the recently released Middle Earth Part 1 set from Regal Ween Lacquer. This is a five part set that is inspired by different locations from the Lord of the Rings world. I did stamping inspired by each theme of the polish too! Up first is Minas Tirith.

Minas Tirith is a metallic white inspired by the capitol city of Gondor of the same name. It has a subtle shift of color blue, purple, gold  or cyan with some scattered holo in the mix.

I did brickwork and a castle for the great fort of Minas Tirith. This polish is beautiful. The formula was great, two to three coats for opacity. Dry time was also in par with her other polishes.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Regal Ween Lacquer Minas Tirith, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat. Zoya Ling used for stamping with Moyou London Fairytale Plate 02 and Hehe plate 026.

Rohan is inspired by the golden grasses of the fields of this city. It is a golden brown creme with gold holo dust. This also can used for stamping, which you will see later.

This beautiful, unique, polish is great, two coats for opacity, great formula and dry time. Clean up was easy as well.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Regal Ween Lacquer Rohan, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat. Ruby White Tips Kurt used for stamping with Moyou London Fairytale Plate 02 and BM-615.

This is The Shire, a vibrant green inspired by Frodo’s home. A shimmering green that can flash gold or purple.

I used Rohan for stamping here. I wanted a subtle tree look, but not to overpower the green and it was perfect for the job. It was opaque in two coats, and I feel this one is a stunner. Dry time was great, same with the formula.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Regal Ween Lacquer The Shire, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat. Rohan used for stamping with Moyou London Mother Nature Plate 01.

This is Mount Doom, inspired by the burning fires of the mountain and the cold metal armor of Sauron’s army. It is a blacked base with red and purple tones and a chameleon shift and scattered holo.

This has a lot of depth to it, it like a little mystery in a bottle. I really love this one a lot. Opaque in two coats and great formula and dry time with no smudging.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Regal Ween Lacquer Mount Doom, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat. Sinful Colors Gold Medal used for stamping with Moyou London Geek 05.

Rivendell is inspired by the beauty of the elven city it is named after. It has green, mint, gold, holo white, iridescent and brown glitters, as well as multicolored illusion flakes in a clear base. It can be used as a topper or layered to opacity.

I did one to two coats on each color from the collection. Regal Ween Lacquer has some of the best glitter toppers on the market, they are packed and you don’t have to fish for anything. Formula is great, fast dry time and no smudging.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Regal Ween Lacquer Rivendell, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

It’s no secret that Regal Ween Lacquer is one of my favorite brands, and they didn’t disappoint with this new collection. Even though I only stamped with one of the colors, I’m sure all of them will stamp. I’ve used some of her other colors from previous collections for stamping so it’s safe to say any non glitter polish will stamp from them.

Jior Couture Press Package

I recently recieved a press package from Jior Couture with three polishes for swatch/review. Jior Couture is a new to me brand so I was excited to try them out. I was sent This Is So Tinsel, January 2015 and February 2015. With no further ado, let’s get to it!

First up is This Is So Tinsel, a gray crelly with blue, orange, gold and turquoise glitter. This is apart of their 2014 Holiday Collection and was inspired by the short film Prep and Landing.

As you can see, there are plenty of glitters in this one. I used three coats for opacity, but you could totally use one coat as a topper. Formula was awesome with no fishing and dried relatively quickly.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Jior Couture This Is So Tinsel, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Up next is January 2015, their color of the month from January of course. It’s a dark salmon color with gold flakes.

The gold flakes are very subtle on the nail, but still beautiful. I used two coats for opacity. Formula was a breeze to work with and dry time was good.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Jior Couture January 2015, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Last, and my favorite out of the three, is February 2015. This is a holo glitter packed pink perfection. The glitters kind of hide but when they show it gives the polish a whole other dimension.

As you can see, this one is an absolutely beauty. I did three coats for opacity, formula was great with good dry time. This is a great addition to any pink lovers collection.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Jior Couture February 2015, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Overall, the polishes I was sent were great. None of them were hard to clean up or had any smudging problems. I’m excited to see more of their upcoming Spring Collection, it looks to die for! All info for the store is below, and as always, thanks for reading! ^_^

Liquid Sky Lacquer

I have seven polishes that I was sent for review by Liquid Sky Lacquer, a new to me brand. Most of these have been out, but I also have the brand new limited edition, Pinch Proof, a St Paddy’s Day polish. This is a very picture heavy post with all the polishes, but definitely worth it.

Pinch Proof is a beautiful green polish with extreme holo and multiple sized glitters.

A very beautiful polish, that has an amazing formula and excellent dry time. Definitely a perfect St Paddy’s polish, I did three coats for opacity.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Liquid Sky Lacquer Pinch Proof, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Black Magic Leprechaun is a black jelly with green shimmer and large clover glitters.

The clovers weren’t as hard as some other polishes I’ve used with large glitters, but letting the polish sit upside down before application is definitely helpful. The polish felt a bit thicker on this one, but nothing bad. Dry time was pretty good, I did 3-4 coats on each nail.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Liquid Sky Lacquer Black Magic Leprechaun, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Wink ^.~ is an extreme bluish green holo and very beautiful.

This polish is absolutely gorgeous. It has a slight shift to it among the holo. Formula was great, excellent dry time and opaque in three coats.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Liquid Sky Lacquer Wink ^.~, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Black Opal is another extreme holo. This one is black with a strong purple shift, which was hard to capture on camera. This one definitely has more dimensions in person.

The dry time was excellent, formula was great and I did three coats for opacity. I probably could of left it at two, but I wanted to be extra safe.

Products used: Qtica Nail Growth, Orly Bonder basecoat, Liquid Sky Lacquer Black Opal, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

King’s Cake is another limited edition. This one is a deep purple jelly with green, gold and purple holographic glitters of different shapes throughout.

This one has a lot of glitter in it, which made the formula feel thicker. It was almost like working with a glitterbomb. Dry time was really good, and I did three coats for opacity. This one would be great used as a topper to, I used it on its own.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Liquid Sky Lacquer King’s Cake, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Atlantis is a deep blue jelly with neon yellow, pink, orange and purple glitters and a smidge of holo dust.

I love the uniqueness of this polish. It really is different than anything I’ve seen. As with all the others, dry time was good, great formula, and three coats for opacity.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Liquid Sky Lacquer Atlantis, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Last, but definitely not least, is Bird Of Paradise, a multichrome colorshift polish. It has blue, copper, orange, purple and a few other colors in it.

I tried to capture the shifty nature of the polish, and really like how it came out. Great formula and dry time with three coats for opacity.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Liquid Sky Lacquer Bird Of Paradise, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

I love all of her polishes overall, and they would be a welcomed addition to anyone’s collection. I also love her labels, they made it super easy for swatching and naming all the pictures. All information for the store is below, and as always, thanks for reading! ^_^

Ruby White Tips: Batworld.org Release

I have three new releases from Ruby White Tips Batworld.org series. If you’re new to this brand, she has a line of polishes that benefit the bats housed and cared for at Bat World Sanctuary. These release today! First up I have Sticky.

Sticky is a flakie topper, I used it over black and a dark purple, I’m going to use it over a lighter color in the future and post it on Instagram.

It’s kind of an orange, copper, pink color depending on what angle you look at it. As with all Ruby White Tips application was great and dry time was excellent.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Sinful Colors Black On Black, Zoya Lael, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Up next I have another glitter topper, this time red, named Bootsanna.

As you can see there are also some silver holo glitters amoung the red. The accent nail is twocoats, while the rest are one. Great formula, with great dry time and no smudging.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Ruby White Tips Kleptomaniac, Ruby White Tips Bootsanna,  I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Last but not least is Mildred, a beautiful blue that can be used as a topper, but very easily obtains opacity in two to three coats.

I would say this is a very glitter packed jelly, that went on like a dream. As with the other two polishes, great dry time, excellent formula and no smudging.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat, Ruby White Tips Mildred, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

This is one of my top brands because of the consistent quality and beauty Laura puts in to every bottle. All information for the store is below, and as always, thanks for reading! ^_^

I, A.M CustomColor: Jan & Feb Duos Review

I, A.M CustomColor has two new duos releasing January 30 and I have them both for you today! There will be lotion bars also available and the sets will be $20 for all three items. First up is January’s duo of Prima Assoluta and The Rain.

Prima Assoluta is for Ashlie’s favorite ballerina Alessandra Ferri, who is a Prima Ballerina Assoluta,  the highest rank a ballerina can be, only 12 since 1894. Prima Assoluta is a pink jelly with holo glitter and micro rainbow flakies.

This polish is absolutely beautiful, and a great shade of pink. It’s very delicate, but still packs a glitter filled punch. I did three coats, and dry time was excellent with no smudging.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat,  I, A.M CustomColor Prima Assoluta,  I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

The Rain is for her one of her favorite songs, Rain by Calvin Harris. It’s a dark green to blue/green thermal with UCC flakies.

Cold:

Warm:

Transition:

And here is both states just to show a side by side comparison.

The more you look at The Rain the more beauty you can find in it, which us kind of poetic. It’s beautiful in both states and the UCC flakies go perfectly with it. Three coats were used, with normal dry time and no smudging.

Products used: Qtica Nail Growth, Orly Bonder basecoat,  I, A.M CustomColor The Rain, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Now to February’s duo, which consists of Mischa B and You’ll Find A Way Remix.

Mischa B is for Mikhail Baryshnikov, one of the most inspirational male dancers of the last century. He was always told he was too short and too stout, yet proved everyone wrong. The polish is a vivid red jelly holo.

The macro has LED lighting to show the scattered holo in Mischa B. I used three coats and had the same dry time as the other polishes, and of course no smudging.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat,  I, A.M CustomColor Mischa B, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

You’ll Find A Way Remix is for a remix of the song You’ll Find A Way by Santigold.  The polish is a dark grey crelly with purple shimmer and teal and purple glitters.

The last macro is with LED again, to show shimmer and detail. I used three coats with this one as well.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat,  I, A.M CustomColor You’ll Find A Way Remix,  I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Overall all four polishes had excellent dry time,  no smudging and the formula was great and very easy to work with. It’s hard to pick a favorite, since I love all four for different reasons. I’d say you should consider getting all four to see which one is your favorite!  All contact info for the store is below, and as always, thanks for reading! ^_^

Simply Beautiful: Mistletoe Juice & Lilly Review

Today I have two polishes from a new to me brand, Simply Beautiful. I’ve been eying her beautiful polishes for a while and was happy to receive a surprise press sample in the mail.  First up I have Mistletoe Juice,  which is currently being reformulated and brought back out.

It’s a beautiful red glitter with holo. You can use it as a topper, or reach opacity with some good layering. It took me 4 coats to reach opacity, but, I’m certain someone with a little more experience would get it in less.

It’s absolutely beautiful.  I didn’t have any drying problems, even with a lot of coats. Clean up was very easy, especially for a polish with fine glitter.  A lot of times I have issues with the glitter not wanting to let go of my skin, but didn’t have that issue at all with this one. Even though this is named Mistletoe Juice I did a little Valentineish stamping on top.

I did it very light to not take away from the glory of the dazzling glitter, I really like how it turned out.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat,  Simply Beautiful Mistletoe Juice,  I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Up next I have Lilly, apart of the Friends & Family collection that’s being added to.

This just jumps off the nail and practically glows. I wore it out and got several compliments on it. It’s definitely a beautiful shade of blue. I did have some dragging with the polish, it felt a little thick, but it wasn’t so horrible that I couldn’t even it out. Once I put top coat on you couldn’t even tell.  The color is definitely worth any slight formula issues in my opinion. This is two coats for opacity.

Products used: Dainty Digits Polish Glitter Be Gone basecoat,  Simply Beautiful Lilly, I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

Overall I say that this indie is a win, and if you haven’t tried her products you should! All information for the store is below, and as always, thanks for reading! ^_^

Glitter or Die: Freespirit Review

Hi everyone!  Back again, and so soon!  Told you I’d be getting back to it after the holidays.  Today I have a new to me indie,  Glitter or Die, up for review.  I picked up Freespirit, one half of her birthday duo. It is a beautiful shifty polish, with a large range of colors and shifty microglitter.

I actually just have to say that she has one of my favorite logos for an indie,  it definitely goes with the name! 

It was very hard to capture all the real life changes of color in the polish, but trust me, it’s there.  The microglitter is very subtle but it’s almost like a secret surprise laying in the polish. The glitter did sink, so definitely make sure to mix it well and let it sit upside down for a bit before use if you pick this one up.

Products used: Qtica,  Orly Bonder basecoat, Glitter or Die Freespirit,  I, A.M CustomColor DiamondPRO topcoat.

I have to say too, I’ve been wearing this for a decent amount of days, which I usually don’t get to do with any polish, and it’s barely chipped at all. I highly recommend this brand if you haven’t tried it yet, and I plan on picking up a lot more of her beauties in the future!  Also, her shipping charges are really inexpensive, so you aren’t paying much more than the original price!
