A England Sparks Divine and Whispering Waves

Hi everyone, today I have the two new A England Heavenly Quotes shades for you, Sparks Divine and Whispering Waves.

Sparks Divine is a toffee brown with a fine silver holographic glitter. It is one of the thinner A Englands I have used. I'm used to this brand being close to one coaters, so I was a bit disappointed that I needed three coats for this. You can see in the photos that there is still some VNL. It does apply nicely however. Lovely colour that went well with my skin tone, but may not suit everyone.   Pics are with top coat.

Whispering Waves is a stunning blue turquoise with fine holographic shimmer. This also has a pinky purple shift that for the life of me I could not capture. It is a subtle shift though. This polish applied like a dream. Very close to a one coater. I did go over with a second thin coat just tao be sure. It does dry a bit matte, so make sure to use a top coat! Really love this.

All photos taken in artificial light. Unfortunately where I am the weather hasn't been very cooperative lately. These both look better in natural light, but what can you do?

Revlon Mayan Riviera and French Roast

Today I have two random Revlon shades for you.

Mayan Riviera is a new shade from their pebbled texture collection. Personally, I find this to be more of a densely packed glitter polish opposed to an actual textured polish. It was very dense which made it difficult to apply nicely. A lot of dabbing was required. It dries to a matte finish. I didn't use top coat. I really liked the colour of this polish, but other then that, it was a fail for me. This also was slow to dry.

French Roast is from their Colorstay line. I actually found this at a dollar store! It's a medium brown creme with a lighter brown shimmer and a small amount of blue microshimmers. I used two coats plus top coat. It self leveled perfectly, and was nice and shiny. I really enjoyed this one!

At least one of them was a winner for me! I won't be purchasing anymore of the Revlon textures, that is for sure. Revlon is available at most drugstores.

OPI Taupeless Beach and Nail Vinyls decals

Good morning folks! Lots to talk about today.

First up we have OPI Taupeless Beach from their new Brazil collection. The colour is pretty self explanatory. I had full coverage in two coats. This is a very nice neutral creme. Work appropriate too!

Next I broke out my Zebra pattern decals from Nail Vinyls. I decided to mix it up a bit and use them vertically on my nail instead of horizontally. The decals are easy to apply and remove. For my stripes I used Mentality Prim, which is a brown holo. I really liked the combination of these colours.

Nail Vinyls can be found HERE and Mentality Polish can be found HERE.  OPI is available at various places. Thanks for stopping by today.

PolishTBH Sorcerer's Stone thermal polish

Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Busy, busy these days. I'm sure I am not alone there.

Today I have a thermal polish from PolishTBH. Sorcerer's Stone is from The Diagon Alley collection.

 When warm this polish is a light red with a mauve undertone. Cool it is a dark brown. Black, red and silver holo glitter has been added. In the bottle I thought it was a bit of a strange colour combo, but on the nail it really works. No issues with application. I used three thin coats. If applied thicker you will only need two. Wear time was great. I removed after three days, but the polish was still going strong. All glitters lay flat to the nail.

Please excuse the water droplets. If I tried to dry my hands first, the nails would go back to being mostly dark. It's cold here! PolishTBH is available to purchase HERE. The thermal polishes retail for $10.00US. I hope you enjoyed this polish as much as I did!

Zoya Kalista

Zoya Kalista is a warm brown with plum undertones and a golden shimmer. The first coat was all plum and turned brown as the coats progressed. I needed three coats for full coverage. Average drying time. Photos are with top coat.

This shade screams Fall to me. I truly love it! It even looked good on my newly shortened nails, yeah. What do you think of this?

Scofflaw Nail Varnish Wee Beasties

Scofflaw Nail Varnish is a big 3 free indie polish. This is the first polish from this brand that I have tried. I'll definitely be going back for more! For more information on the brand I suggest you follow on Facebook. Their page seems to have the most current information. I purchased this polish from Llarowe.

WEE BEASTIES is an army green based glitter polish with copper shimmer. Filled with various size copper, pink and brown hexagons. This applied like a dream. I used two medium coats and had full coverage. Smoothed out completely with one coat of Seche Vite. This polish dries a bit matte. I included one pic of this. I actually really liked the matteness. The rest of the pictures are with top coat.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed.

Smolder by Maya Costmetics

Maya Cosmetics is a polish brand that was launched in October 2012.  All polish is 3 free, cruelty free, and vegan. You can find the site here. Bottles retail for $9.50 US. per bottle and shipping is available worldwide.

SMOLDER is described as a  blackened plummy brown with a pink, red, bronze shimmer. I would say that's pretty accurate. The first coat applied streaky, but evened out very well with the second coat. Photos show 2 coats of smolder. No top coat used in the pics. All photos taken in sunlight.

Thanks for visiting today. Hope to see you all back soon!

Forever Polished Coco and Cherry

Hello! Today I have two Forever Polished holo's to show off! Who doesn't love a holo? If you haven't tried Forever Polished before, I think you need to put it down on your to try list. Forever Polished can be purchased on ETSY. Mini bottles are $5.00 US and large bottles are $8.00. Shipping is available to the US and Canada at this time. All polishes are 3 free. You can also look for updates on FACEBOOK.

Coco is a golden brown based non linear holo. Applied smoothly with very minimal brush strokes. Pics show 2 coats of Coco with no top coat. This was almost a one coater! Just a few thinner spots that needed a 2nd coat.

Cherry is a medium pink non linear holographic. Formula on this was much thinner then Coco, but still applied easily. The coats built up nicely. Photos show 3 coats with no top coat. It's nice and squishy looking!
No brush strokes.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today! I hope you enjoyed it.

KBShimmer Winter part 1

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. Today I have 2 of the 4 polishes I purchased from the KBShimmer winter collection. They were bought from Harlow&Co.

First up is Cocoa Nut. This applied easily and was completely opaque in 2 coats! I realise brown polish isn't every ones cup of tea, but I love it.

Next is Sugar Plum Faerie. Pictures show 2 coats, but I still didn't quite have complete coverage. You either need a 3rd coat or perhaps a base colour.

I love the different glitters in this. Next time I will try this over a base colour. I found it started to apply a bit thick. This is a top coat hungry polish, but that is to be expected.
