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!

Thanks for the visit.

Underlight - Color4Nails exclusive by Femme Fatale Cosmetics

Hello everyone! Sorry for my sporadic posting lately. It's harder when kids are off on Summer vacation to make the time. I'm here today though.
This is Underlight by Femme Fatale Cosmetics and was released exclusively through Color4Nails. This shade really fought with my camera. I've done the best I could. It was just so full of flecks and shimmer. I used three thin coats. I should have thickened up the last coat, but in person, the visible nail line wasn't as visible. It applied nicely and there was no staining to report. Teal/blue jelly base with purple shimmer and holographic flakies or shreds. You can also layer this over a similar base. The shimmer did disappear a bit once on the nail.

Jindie Nails Harlow Can You Go Swatches

Hi everyone. Today I have a Jindie Nails shade exclusive to Harlow & Co. This is Harlow Can You Go.

 A nude shimmer base with various size and shapes of glitter in teal, brown, fuchsia, copper, and maybe a few others! I needed three light coats for full coverage. Topped with two coats of KBShimmer Clearly On Top. No fishing was needed for the larger glitter.

I liked this polish, but didn't love it. It was a little too chunky for me. That is just personal preference. Formula wise there are no issues. As mentioned, this polish is an exclusive to Harlow & Co.

Thanks for the visit! Hope to see you back soon.

Picture Polish Blue Dog

Today I have a Picture Polish collaboration for you. This polish was created with Vampy Varnish.

Blue Dog is a dusty blue with blue and purple flecks. It was kind of hard to capture it all nicely. Great formula. Two coats for full coverage and self leveled perfectly. Nice and shiny with a top coat.

So blue isn't a shade I normally gravitate towards, but this one caught my eye, and I wasn't disappointed. Everything really works together nicely. I bought this from Nail Polish Canada. If you would like a list of international stockists or to purchase directly, please visit Picture Polish.
Thanks for the visit!

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.

Canada Day Nail Art

Back with one more Canada Day manicure for you. What can I say, I love my country!

The white base is Cult Nails Tempest. The glitter is KBShimmer Candy Cane Crush and the red is OPI Coca-Cola Red. The maple leafs are vinyl decals from Eat.Sleep.Polish.

The chevron nails are guides bought from NailVinyls. (link below) You may have noticed that the glitter nail has a bit of a brownish tint to it. This is from the scent used in it. If you layer it over anything but white, you won't have this problem.

So there you have it! I hope you enjoyed them. See you again, soon.
