Party Rockin

Good morning all!!!

My contest will be ending soon!!! So please enter if you haven't already!!! You can find the post HERE!

Today I have a gorgeous manicure to share with you all! I used an unnamed Hot Topic polish and Lush Lacquer's Party Rockin. I love love love the colors in Lush Lacquer's glitter polish!

Here's what I did:
1 coat Seche Retain
1 coat Gelous
2 coats Hot Topic polish
1 coat Party Rockin
1 coat Seche Vite

The Hot Topic polish was a bit of a pain to work with. The consistency is great, but while applying it, it creates bald spots on itself. So I sort of had to goop it on. Other than that, I really do like this polish. It is a nice dark purple with lots of shimmer that changes from purple to blue. It really is gorgeous. I'm in love with the bottle too. I love me some skulls.

Lush Lacquer is one of my favorite indie polish companies. I love all their polish, and I have never had a single problem with them! The shipping to get to you does take a little while, but trust me, it is WORTH the wait!!! They retail at $8.75 a 15ml bottle. Which is very reasonable, considering the quality you are getting! The polish always glides on like butter. I never have to fish for any glitters, nor do I ever have clumping problems with the glitter. I never have to adjust the glitter on the nail! All I do is paint and go. Seriously.

Party Rockin is a gorgeous polish that is LOADED with glitter. There are smaller glitters, medium sized hex glitters, and bar glitters. The color combination is to die for. It is bright and summery. I decided to pair it with purple to really bring out the blues, oranges, and yellow/golds. I know this polish would look amazing on blacks, pinks, and greens! I can't wait to try this glitter with other colors! I also can't wait to try a jelly sandwich!

You can find Lush Lacquer's Etsy shop HERE! I really suggest checking out what they have to offer! They never disappoint! They have great customer service, and once you do receive your package, you will be shocked that this is an indie polish seller. Their quality is very very professional!!!

I hope you all enjoy this manicure as much as I do!

Do you own any Lush Lacquer products? What do you think about them? Have you ever bought Hot Topic polish? Did you have the same problem I did?

Until next time...

9.0.2.1.Orange

Good afternoon!! I am continuing my swatches of the Wet n Wild Summer Getaway collection. And I must say, this one I am about to show you is a favorite.

9.0.2.1.Orange is the name of this polish, and I must say, I am loving it. It is a glitter jelly polish, so it is extremely sheer. Luckily this only took three coats to become pretty opaque! I love love love the color, and I love love love all the glitter. You all really need to see this one in real life. It is sooo sparkly.

(Excuse my boo boo on my pinky. I covered it up, cause it looks kinda yuck.)

Yum yum yum! Glitter! It is such a fun shade of orange, and I felt like I was ready to go to the beach....if there was a beach near me.....which there isn't.....cause I live in Oklahoma. *Sigh*

Here's what I did:
1 coat Sally Hansen's Double Duty top coat
3 coats 9.0.2.1.Orange
No top coat seen here.

It is pretty gritty, so I did later on add some Seche Vite. I have a feeling this polish is going to be a pain in my behind to remove! Glitter always is.

As of right now, I am in love with only one of the polishes out of the collection...and this is it. I still have three more to try, so maybe my mind will be changed. (I wish I could say I love two of these polishes...but that green just does NOT look good on me. *cries*)

What do you all think of this color? The glitter? Do you like glitter polishes, or do you avoid them purely because the pain of removal??

Until next time...

Ruby Pumps

Hello all!!! I have a fabulous polish to share with you!!!

First, let me say this: I do not normally turn to red polish. Why? It is a pain to clean up, it stains your nails, and I tend to think it is boring by itself.

Now....let me tell you why this polish, Ruby Pumps by China Glaze, has changed my mind about red polishes FOREVER.

China Glaze Ruby Pumps is fabulous. The red is such a great shade. The glitter is glitter-tastic! And surprisingly, the clean up was CAKE! I love the formula to this polish. It just glides on. The brush is perfect...even for this tiny bottle! I had picked up this 3.6 mL bottle at Sally's Beauty Supply a few weeks ago. It was in the clearance bin for $1.69. It then was discounted even further, and I got this bad boy for $0.49!!!! Can't beat that price!!! Now that I have tried it, I seriously need to pick up a bigger bottle!!!

Now in the photos, this manicure is a few days old, so I have a few chips, scuffs, and tip wear. But I am happy with how well this polish has held up! I couldn't bring myself to add anything to this manicure, for fear of taking away from this gorgeous polish. I can't even describe how much this polish sparkles.

It appears to be a red jelly polish with lots and lots of glitter. I can't tell if the glitter is actually red or silver....but I am assuming red. Here's what I did:
2 coats Sally Hansen's Double Duty Base Coat
2 coats China Glaze Ruby Pumps
1 coat Seche Vite

Can you believe I got this opaque in TWO coats??? Amazing!

This is officially my go to nail polish! I am sooo in love!!! <3

Have you guys tried Ruby Pumps? What do you think of it? I have read mixed reviews on this polish...but people who hate it really haven't explained why. Maybe I need to search better?

Until next time....
