There are six colors in total.  I picked two from the collection to show you guys today. Silver Bells and Sugar Plum Fairy

Silver Bells





 Sugar Plum Fairy


 
Overall I liked this polish.Sugar plum fairies looks much deeper in person.The formula was so so. I usually find textured polish easy to work with. I found this thick and sometimes hard to control. Not bad but just not good. I'm going to order one more from this collection for Xmas. I feel the colors are festive for the holiday. and unlike the last collection I think there is more variety. You can purchase these at your local Rite Aide or on the Jessie Girl website here!!!!!!
 
What do you guys think of this collection?
Have you tried anything from any of my blog post?
If so email me your photo's. I would love to see!!!!

OPI DS Radiace and DS Pewter Swatch and Review

Happy Monday Everyone!!!!

Today I have two wonderful polishes from the OPI DS ( Designer Series) 2013. I picked two polishes from the series.  One of these polishes is a new texture polish.Its inspired by raw granite.

DS Radiace- Is a Silver Foil polish. It literally look like melted silver. I did two coats no top coat.

DS Pewter- Is a textured grey polish with flecks of  deep silver/ grey through out. Almost like rock colored.I did two coats. No Top coat.

Swatches Below
DS Radiace





DS Pewter





DS Radiace- Is a perfect silver. The formula is awesome. Very Easy to work with and I felt it looked great without the top coat. But i would Try HK girl fast drying top coat if you did want to use one. I loved it. Its perfect for all seasons. I love a good silver. It looks good on everyone.
DS Pewter- This is silver/grey matte. It literally looks like Raw Granite. Its spectacular. I did no top coat. It is not as bumpy as most textured polish. Its actually quite smooth. It's like they opened the rock and poured the granite in the bottle.  

There is a certain sufistication that the Disgner Serious Brings. Its OPI jazzed up.Look at the cap. Its definitely elegant!

You can purchase this at Ulta, ebay, and Amazon. I got mine at my loacal nail supply store. I'm unclear how long they will be available. I Would assume until they run out. Depending on where you purchase them, They can range from $8.50-12.50(ulta). There are so many awesome colors in this collection. disappointment is unlikely.

Sinful Colors Crystal Crushes Collection-Partial Swatch and Review

Hello Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How are you guys today?  You know I wish you the best as always!!!!!!!

Today I have two polishes from the Sinful Colors Crush Crystal Collection. I chose two polishes from that collection. What makes this collection special is its TEXTURED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you say hell yeah.

Im a true sucker for textured polish. I never in a million years thought I would like this trend, but I'm in love. I own alot. I wear them often. In MY OPINION textured polish has been one of the most unique, influential and beautiful contribution to the face of Nail Polish. It has changed everything!!!!!!!!!!!


Blue Persuasion-is a blurple polish( blue/purple mix) with purple glitter through out. It dries matte. I use two coats and no top coat.

Treasure Chest- is a bright teal with a gold sparkle tent through out. It is it not a glitter its more like shimmer. but its very noticeable in the bottle. It to dries matte. I did two coats, no top coat.

Please see swatch an Review below.

 
 
Blue Persuasion



 
 
Treasure Chest 



 
 
WOW!!!!!!!!!! Just wow. First let me say FINALLY FINALY Sinful Colors joined the textured team. Ive been waiting for so long. I knew they would. I just did not know when. I check every single time I go to Walgreen's, I searched high and low for this collection. I finally found it at Harmon!!! I love this collection. I loved how it applied. Treasure Chest was my favorite. Ive been wearing it all week. So many compliments. The gold shimmer is really noticeable. I loved Blue Persuasion more in person than in photos. The purple glitter really makes is multi-dimensional. I give this collection 5 stars. I know I did not try the rest, but due to affordability and range of colors-reds-blues-greens-yellows, and formula, I feel like I can say that with confidence due to those factors. There are 8 polishes in total. Priced at $2.99. You could buy this whole collection TWICE for less than an whole OPI liquid sand collection( just an example I love OPI). I'm just saying you cant beat that. Sinful colors keeps this up. Now I must admit that so far there is no concrete place for purchase. Some have found them at rite aid, some Walgreen's, some Harmon/Bedbath Beyond. So all I can say is look for it and it will show up. I'm unclear if this is limited edition or a permanent part of the line like the Gel shine polish. So I will try to keep you guys updated.

Hello Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How are you guys doing today? Hopefully all is well.

Today I have two lovely glitter toppers from Polish Addict Nail Color. And guess what?? One of them glows in the dark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Halloween Party-is a Glitter Topper in a clear base .It is jammed packed with all kinds of different fun glitter. There is stars, pumpkins, squares, hexes and bars. Most of these pieces vary in size. I did two coats over Opi eurso euro which is a deep navy with a slightly deep purple tinge to it. I did two coats each and then one thick coat of Seche Vite.

Fun House- Is a Glitter Topper as well. I must admit that this one and Halloween Party look similar in the bottle, but after you get them on you see the difference. Also This one GLOWS IN THE DARK. Fun house is packed with fun/ bright colored glitter.  I did two thick coats over Essie Absolutely Shore. then one thick coat of seche vite top coat. You must see this one to understand. Its the little tiny glitters that make this polish fun and super cute.



Halloween Party


 
 
 Fun House

 
 
 Fun House-Glow in the Dark

 
 
I loved these two polishes but I did like Fun House better It was Easier to work with.  And Hello it glows in the dark. lol. Duh!! In order to get it super bright. You must hold your nails to a light bulb, Do not touch it. As close as you can without burning. Hold it there for like 30 seconds. your polish with look like it went nuclear. lol. I did like Halloween Party it just had alot of different kind of glitter and sizes. I think because it was a mini bottle I had a different experience. I Find that me and Glitter Polishes in mini bottles just don't work. lol. User Error.lol. I Loved it just not in the small bottle. So if you order it do it in full size. Both of these polishes are on sale right now Full Size $5 each. Please Head over to POLISH ADDICT NAIL COLOR and check out her stuff. She has some amazing polishes. If you lover glitter you love this Indie Brand!!!!

China Glaze Monster Ball- Partial Review and Swatch

Hello Everyone!!!!

How are you yall doing?

Today I have 3 polishes from the China Glaze Monster Ball Halloween collection.

Howl you doing- Is a purple matte polish with flecks of gold/bronze and purple glitter through out. I must say that the goldish/ bronzie flecks are subtle. Not to subtle that you cant see them, but not so bright that they are distracting and loud. I did two coats and topped it with Seche Vite. It dries matte and super fast.

Boo-gie down- is a mash up of black white bronze hex glitter. It also has bar glitter through out. It is a glitter topper in a clear base. I did two coats over OPI did you ear about van gogh? I did two thin coats over the opi. topped it with Seche Vite.  Glitter placement is necessary to achieve a cohesive look instead of a blob of glitter. It reminds me a lot of the china glaze glitz and bitz collection.

Bump in the night- is a black textured polish. It is alot like the sally hansen lic-o-rich. I did two coats no top coat. I must warn you this one is a stainer. I had to soak my finger to get it off. and I only had it on for 10 mins to swatch it. lol.


Please See Swatch and Review below




Howl you doing





 Boo-gie down




Bump in the night 




Let me tell you I loved this collection. It was everything I hoped for. The Black texture is what drew me in. The only Turn off with Bump in the night was the staining. Other than that. I loved it and it dries fairly quickly. Boo-gie down reminds me of a fall day. idk about yall but I live in New England and the one thing I remember about halloween is the leaves and colors and this is what it reminds me of. I loved this Glitter topper. Feel you can wear it all year round. Its very easy to work with, just don't have a heavy hand. Howl you doing is my favorite of the three. It was an easy application and love the overall look. This would be fun for anyone, But especially for the girls that love those vampy dark fall colors. This is that with a twist. I loved the flakes.  Even though this a halloween collection I love how you can wear all these polishes at any time. It is not specific its theme. There are 6 polish is total for this collection. I chose these three. You can purchase them on EBAY!! They are at Sally's and Ulta, but ebay seems to have the biggest bang for your buck on these.

What do think of this collection? 

Thanks for reading!!!

I appreciate all you guys!!!

Trelly M.I.S.C Polish-Halloween -Swatch and Review

Hello Everyone!!!!!

How are yall doing on this Moday? Like always I wish you guys a wonderful day!!!

I thank you so much for being with me and watching me grow through out my Blogging Journey.

Today I have a few Trelly Polishes to share with you. One is a glitter topper and one is a crelly.What I love about Trelly polish is that it is glitter packed, but not overwhelming or messy. Even as a 30 year old woman I do not feel awkward with the styles and glitter types. Any one can wear her polishes. All age groups.

Today I have Holy Raviolli Batman- This is a clear based glitter topper. It is packed with cirle glitter in grey and black. They range from speckles to large disk. There are spalshes of yellow medium size cirlces. This you must see to believe. I chose to put it over two China glaze white on white and sinful color accent nail of cool grey Two coats. Topped all with Seche Vite

Howling At the moon- Is a crelly( a jelly like polish with color aka CRELLY). Its purple. It is packed with moons and stars and small to tiny cirles. It really looks like a purple nights sky. I did two coats over China Glaze Creative Fantasy, which by the way is a perfect match. One has glitter and one does not that is the only difference. Topped all with Seche Vite

Please see pics and Reviews below

Overall I love Both of these. You guys know that Im am a fanatic for Glitter Toppers. I expected Holy Raviolli Batman to be my Fav, but suprisingly Howling At the moon stole the show. It is awesomely goergous. I love it. I love Trelly M.I.S.C. Polish. It is becoming one of my favorite Indie brands. Its young, colorful,  Glitter packed  and delivery is FAST. You can purchase Trelly M.I.S.C. Polish- Holloween Polish HERE. But Hurry these suckers sell super fast.

For the last day of Pink Week I decided to pick OPI-Pink-ing-of-You. Due to the cause behind the polish. Every year Opi releases a limit edition polish for Breast Cancer Awareness and Donation go to Breast Cancer research.


 
7. Mammograms can detect most breast cancers very early, allowing for more treatment options and a greater chance of survival.

OPI-Pink-ing-of-You is one of the pretties and best pink polishes ive used.
There is no streaking or spottiness. It goes on even in two coats.
You can pick this duo up at your local ULTA. Im not exactly sure how long it will be there but I know you at least have until the end of October.
