Nostalgic Nail Lacquer - Girls on Film

Before i start i want to say that sorry for using my iphone but my camera is with Sony for repairs and every time i go check they tell me 1 more week ... lets hope that week is this one .

 So i have been neglecting Nostalgic for the last few months i know but well so many new brands and i promised myself no impulse buys so i'm only buying what i will wear not just to hoard polish . But her winter collection knocked my socks off and i had to get 3 out of the 6 shades . I have for you today "Girls on Film" part of her New Wave Winter collection .





Girls on Film  is best described as bubble gum pink with pink and purple glitters.  I put 1 coat of revlon powderpuff as a base so i have no VNL and i don't want this pretty shade to run out on me . It only took 2 coats of GOF . You know i love my gelous since i'm OCD on my glassy finish and of course my HK Girl top coat .


 Look at all that pink and purple <3  you can tell i love those colors.










 You can get her polishes from her store . Price is $9.75 USD per polish  . Also you can follow her on Facebook to keep up with new collections and other stuff.

It's almost Christmas time

This is the second part of the Santa Baby Collection polishes i got for review from Missi at Different Dimension. In previous post i showed you one of my favorites and said i had one more fave .... well i may need to place another order because i got a 3rd fave . 



***All of the polishes are shown with 1 coat of Out the door fast drying top coat. ***



  I've Been An Awful Good Girl
This one was my second fave . It's a white base but depending on the light it might reflect pink . The pink might have to do with the pink shimmer the polish has along with pink and purple glitters in different sizes. I decided to layer 1 coat over 1 coat of Essie Raise Awareness.





Think Of All The Fellas That I Haven't Kissed 
This was my 3rd surprise . In the bottle i was like ok it looks pretty but then over that turquoise blue color it just looks beautiful. This one has blue, purple and teal glitters on clear base. I did 2 coats of Petites "Creme blue" and then 1 heavy coat of the glitter. 





I'll Wait Up For You Dear 
Last but not least we have a classic blue and red glitter combo in clear base. This one i had to sit down and look trough everything to decide on a base color. At first i wanted to go with white ( and yes i know i have a white polish obsession) but it didn't seem festive enough . But i got a package yesterday from a dear fellow lacquerhead and in the package was Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Gilded Lily. This mani screams Christmas .  I did 2 coats of GL and 1 coat of the glitter.

DifferentDImension - Sign Your 'X' On The Line

Normally when i get stuff for review i do 1 post but i got a surprise while working with one of the polishes i got from Missi at Different Dimensions that i had to give this polish its own post. 

First let me introduce you to the blue loveliness that is Estee Lauder "Blue Blood" . This is a dark navy blue that has a bit of secret shimmer which reminds me of Chanels but not really. It applied ok just a bit too thick for my taste and for a polish that is $20.00 USD you better apply like a dream. I do have to say that it self leveled and i was happy with the results after i added my top coat. 


Pretty right?  but then my glitter senses started to itch and i had to go to my indie drawer and while there i remembered the ones i got for review . I was floored with the end result like i can't freaking stop looking at my nails.  




Sign Your 'X' On The Line is a mix of silver flakes and gold shreds in a clear base.  So this is only 1 coat over blue blood and look how amazing it looks.  I can't wait to try this over a red. It really applied smoothly and you know me i add a gelous coat to every glitter i use. Some top coat and you have this pretty appearance . 

 





 

I wanted to get one of the gold leaf top coats but at $30 each .... heck even $15 is making me think it over a lot. I think this polish killed that want that i had and it makes me happy . I do need to buy the full size of this one and one other i loved from the 4 i got to review . The other 3 polishes are coming up in my next post later in the week so look out for that.

Candy Lacquer - Sugar Skulls

Hey all !!!!!!

Oh lordy i just channeled Paula Deen :S

Anyway ......... i know some of you had seen the preview shot of this mani on my FB page , but i could've sworn i put it up but i guess i was wrong .




Sugar Skulls is a mix of white & yellow hearts. Add some yellow flowers and some pastel shades  hex glitter . Consistency was awesome as always no need for thinner here. I did fish for the hearts because i wanted a certain color in each nail but if you are not picky then no fishing here. I decided to pair it with Chanel Black Velvet . I have to say that Black Velvet is one of my favorite blacks because of its finish . It reminds me of the more recent Illamasqua rubber polishes.  Oh and btw black nail polish cleaning is not my strong suit :( i still need to work on it .


You can get CandyLacquer polishes on her shop here .Also be sure to like her FB page to know when restocks and new polishes are coming .

Enjoy the pics .

Different DImension Review :D

So today i have a new indie brand called "Different Dimension" which is bad for my budget since i was on an indie no buy and after trying this ones i want to get some more. You know i love my indies since about 98 % of my posts are indies so  i have become picky . I don't like excuses for taco glitter, bleeding or other issues the creator should have seen during testing i mean if they test .....  . So i have to say i was pleasantly surprise with this brand since it gave me no problem with application and *gasp* didn't have to add thinner to make it less gloppy .  So don't be surprise if this brand becomes a regular in the blog . 







" On Wednesdays we wear pink "  its a creme pink with jelly qualities. It has different pink size hex glitter and some holo pink glitter to give it a slight color shift. It can be worn on its own with about 3 coats but you know me .... I like layering since it makes my glitter removal easier. I paired this pink goodness over OPI "Pink Friday" . This polish is part of the "Mean Girls" collection.



 "Social Suicide "  is a mix of white and black hex glitter with some sparkle to it . I  love my w&b glitter but i hate bar glitter so this one is a nice addition and you know what i sold my b&w with bar glitter because this one hit the right spot for me .  I layered it over China Glaze "Kinetic Candy" . This one is also part of the "Mean Girls" collection. 





"That is so Fetch" is a mix of different types of purple glitter with some holo glitter in there too. I have to say its one of my favorites and my mom has been looking at the bottle every time she comes to my room , so its probably her next mani. I layered this one over Ozotic "607" and let me tell you in person it was so sparkly and girly and yeah you guess it i might need a back up. The pictures really don't do it justice.  And if you are a fan i guess i don't have to say where the phrase comes from but just in case this is also part of the  "Mean Girls " collection.




"Purple People Eater" is a mix of purple, orange, green and black glitter. Its perfect for halloween . I love how it looks on top of white . I do have a thing for this type of glitter because its the only way i can wear white nail polish but i'm already planning  a combo for all hallows eve so you might see it again in a different layering combo. I used Bettina Matte ( white) as the base.



"Blue Christmas" is a mix of white and blue hexes some are holo and some silver holo hexes too . Its a very pretty mix which definitely reminds me of christmas and will probably be one of my manis during the season. I layered this one over Chanel "Coco Blue" .

Pretty & Polished - Jawbreaker

so i know i said last week that i was doing Chanel LA Sunrise but i just got this baby on the mail and had to try it out. I do love the look it gives and it does really look like the white jawbreakers do , but my only complaint is that the bigger red pieces get stuck to the bottle. This still happens even after putting it upside down for a few minutes .
