Rica Leopard Spot Glitter Polishes Swatches

Today I have three new glitter toppers from Rica Polish. All three feature the new leopard spot glitters that are popping up in polishes. Post is pic heavy! 

L - R: LF Neon Leopard, The Cat's Meow, Purrfectly Kissed

Quick rundown for you. All of these required the leopard spots to be fished out. These have what I call a "slippery" base. Meaning the glitter slides off the brush as you take it out of the bottle. All are finished with a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and a top coat.

Purrfectly Kissed features a pastel pink leopard glitter with various pastel glitters and micro blue glitter. Layered over Barielly Money Talks. This is two coats of the smaller glitters and placing of the leopard spots. The fishing was fairly easy with this one.

LF Neon Leopard ( Lisa Frank inspired ) Features white leopard with various bright and black glitter in micro and small sizes. One coat layered over Illamasqua Grab. This had the best coverage of the bunch. One leopard came out of the bottle on its own. The rest were placed but the easiest to fish.

The Cat's Meow is a silver holographic leopard with silver, blue, and purple holo glitters. This was the sparsest coverage of the three.  At times I would only have one glitter on the brush. This also required a lot of effort to get the leopard spots out of the bottle. This is layered over Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pagan. I really loved the combo of these two together.

Although these don't have the greatest application, I do like the way they look. Tons of layering options with these too. What do you think? Worth the effort? These polishes are available from Rica's Etsy Shop.
Thanks for sticking through the whole post.

MckFresh Nail Attire Witchy Tutu

Today I have Witchy Tutu from MckFresh Nail Attire.

Witchy Tutu is a clear based glitter topper filled with too many different glitters to mention. Let's just leave it at multi-shaped, multi-coloured! No issues with application or formula. I used two coats over Barry M Olive. You could pretty much layer this over whatever colour undie you wanted. I had pretty good coverage with one coat, but it was so much fun that I threw on another.

Emily de Molly The Unloved

  Today I have Emily de Molly The Unloved. This is a dark red jelly with pink and red glitter. There are also large silver holographic dots.
I had pretty good coverage with two coats. Some areas were a bit lighter, but nothing too noticeable in person. The large dot glitters were a bit elusive. If you wanted some on every nail you'll need to fish a few out of the bottle. Was smooth with a coat of KBShimmer clearly on top.

Dollish Polish They're Coming To Get You Barbara

They're Coming To Get You Barbara was released last year for Halloween. This is a sheer grey jelly base. I've worn this on its own. It can be done, but remains on the sheer side. This time I decided to layer it. My base is OPI You're So Vainilla. The combo worked really well. Turned it into more of a khaki colour. I used  three coats of They're Coming To Get You Barbara. It smoothed out with a coat of KBShimmer clearly on top.

The glitter payout is pretty good with the exception of the skull and crossbones. I'm okay with that. I think they look like alien babies. My favourite is the bright green glitter. I think it works perfectly in this mix. As mentioned, this polish is from last year. Don't fret. There are some currently available!

MckFresh Nail Attire The Labyrinth

Hello everyone. Today I have a polish from an Australian indie maker for you. Don't worry, polishes are available worldwide!
This is The Labyrinth. It's a glitter topper made up of black bars, different greens, and white in various sizes. I have two coats of The Labyrinth layered over Sally Hansen Coat Of Arms. Please excuse the clean up. The gold shimmer just spread. I had sparkly fingers for awhile! No issues with application other then not many bars made it onto my nails. Personally, this is fine, bars are my least favourite glitter shape.

This is an older polish, but it is still available at Mei Mei's Signatures. For newer polishes you can order direct from MckFresh's Etsy shop HERE. Shop is currently open! You can also find information on MckFresh's Facebook page and Instagram.

Thanks for having a peek! Hope to see you soon.

Dauphine by Pipe Dream Polish swatches

Today I have Dauphine from Pipe Dream Polish.  This polish was part of the Sweet Addictions September box that is available through Cupcake Polish.

Dauphine is a pink leaning nude crelly with blue and white glitter. It applies nicely, but is a bit chunky. Make sure to give it a good layer of top coat to smooth. I also had a few bubbles on one nail. Not sure why, but it is there. Again, just one nail, so I don't think this is going to be an issue.

To find this polish, please visit Cupcake Polish on Big Cartel. Pipe Dream Polish store can be found here. Thank you for the visit today! I hope to see you back soon.

WingDust Collections Imagine Me n' You

Welcome everyone.

Today I have Imagine Me n' You from WingDust Collections for you to ogle. This is a pretty periwinkle creme base with shimmer. Loaded with bright glitter in magenta, green, aqua, purple and others. I used two coats and didn't have to fish for any glitter. Smooth with a coat of KBShimmer clearly on top. This was a fun polish to wear!

WingDust Collections polishes are available HERE. Imagine Me n' You is currently in stock too! Thank you for the visit. Hope to see you back.

Naild'it Unique Polish Virgin Margarita - Mei Mei's Exclusive

Good day all! I'm happy to report that our teachers strike is over and my kids are finally back to school today. Hopefully I'll be able to pay more attention to my blog now!

Today I have Naild'it Unique Nail Polish Virgin Margarita for you. This polish is exclusive to Mei Mei's Signatures. I couldn't tell how opaque this polish would be, so I swatched it on its own and layered. My index finger is three coats of Virgin Margarita with no undies. The others are two coats of Virgin Margarita over white. So, you can get this opaque on its own. I actually preferred it without the undies. I had no issues with application and one coat of top coat smoothed everything out. There is a wide variety of glitter in this polish but they all work very well together.

Overall I was really happy with this polish. It is definitely unique! I can't think of a dupe off the top of my head and I have nothing like it in my collection. As mentioned, this polish is only available at Mei Mei's Signatures. It is currently still in stock!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoyed today's polish!

Scofflaw Nail Varnish Arcane Sugar

Hello everybody! Hope you're doing well.
Today I have Arcane Sugar from Scofflaw for you. This was part of the newest release.

Arcane Sugar has a pale minty green base with cream and copper glitter. There are also some light coloured flakes in the base. They are subtle but very pretty in person. I really enjoyed this colour combination. It's all very me. I used two thicker coats followed by a coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top. This smoothed it all out. The glitter applied evenly and I didn't have any issues with application.

Renaissance Custom Lacquer in L'Ete

Is there a better way to end summer then with a polish named summer? Okay, maybe, but this is close!

L'Ete is a berry pink creme with holographic shimmer and glitter in silver, blue, and purple. The glitter isn't dense, so application is very easy. I used two medium coats and topped it off with KBShimmer Clearly On Top. Perfectly smooth and shiny.

Pretty and Polished Hameau Swatches

Pretty & Polished Hameau is on the blog today. Hope you enjoy, even though this isn't a new release.

The base is a pale pink creme with a subtle shimmer. Filled with purple and green glitter. There was a nice distribution of glitter without having to fuss. I used three thin coats plus top coat. It was nice and smooth as the glitter isn't overly large. Overall good formula and application.

Too Pop To Handle by KBShimmer

Hello again. Today I have another polish that tried to break my camera while photographing it! I've worn a lot of those lately.

Too Pop To Handle is a densely packed textured glitter polish. Neon purple base with holographic magenta, pink, purple, and blue glitters. This is what gave my camera fits. So much holo goodness. I used two coats plus two coats of Clearly On Top to smooth it out. Because this is so packed with glitter, you may need to dab a bit to cover lighter spots. This dries to a semi matte finish without top coat.

Were those photos bright enough for you? This polish is from the early summer 2014 collection. I should mention that I used a peel off base with this. If you don't use one, you will have the typical glitter removal nightmare! There is a lot of glitter in this!
