Sunday Swatch Spam Feat. Enchanted Polish, Pahlish and Cult Nails.



Hey guys! Long time no post D:
I hope everybody had a wonderful holiday!

We had fun with family! Sky's Grandma came to visit first and then my Sister & Bil and their kids stopped by a few days. And after that we went with them back to their house for Christmas! :)
So I didn't have much time to paint my nails but I scrounged up some swatches that I haven't posted before!

I promise I'll be posting more regularly again soon!
I'm not really a "New Year's Resolution" kind of person but next year I want to make a bigger effort with my blog.
I started off 2013 posting so much more and it's slowly dwindled down.
I haven't been happy with my posting habits the past few months, I'm just awful at scheduling!
I will do my best for 2014 though!

Without further ado here are the swatches! Unfortunately I can't remember the number of coats I used for these - sorry!

Cult Nails Masquerade!



Hi guys! Today's post is featuring Masquerade from the Cult Nails Midnight Masquerade Collection.
I'm just posting Masquerade since I'm really behind and come on, this is the showstopper of the trio!
I can't even explain how pretty this beauty is in person, just so much better.

It is pretty sheer but it looked nice at three thin coats,
 I added a fourth since sometimes polishes can appear more sheer in photos vs in person.

Daphne's Birthday Party sponged on top of China Glaze Aquadelic and Cult Nails Devious Nature.

"Daphne's Birthday Party is a combination of 5 different coloured glitters of the same size, designed to look like sparkly confetti on your nails!"
Daphne's Birthday Party is a special polish to celebrate the one year anniversary of Pretty Serious and the first Birthday of our much loved mascot, Daphne!

Not my best gradient, I didn't realize how dense the polish was before hand, definitely build-able for full opacity! 

Pretty Serious Polishes are available at http://www.pretty-serious.com/ for $9.95 AUD ea.

Anyone else participating in posting Daphne's Birthday Party today, I made a inlinkz tool -  feel free to add your URL below!

Bad Hare Day
"a purple crelly with hint of lavender spark, and a variety of purple and white glitters. In case the Easter Hare has a bad Hair Day!"

Three thin coats. Easy formula, and very pretty. I love that it is a bit muted!

"a multi color glitter bomb with holographic glitters galore, including stars."

Lilac Electra
 "a holographic purple tinted topper with a hint of purple/blue color-shift iridescent glitters! Its like a lilac bush with electricity running through it:)"

Three thin coats. Okay guys, holy shit is all I can say about this polish.
Let me state something here -I usually hate metallic polishes with glitters, this polish is magic because I love it against all odds! This is one of the most beautiful polish that I think I own.
My husband even noticed it and that really isn't common!
This is hands down my favorite in this entire collection (though I do like them all!)
Sorry there are so many pictures of it, what can I say I loveeee it! The formula was nice and smooth.

Put a Ring On it
"a holographic silver and gold glitter bomb! With shapes of all kinds and glitters of all sizes! This one will shine just as much as those diamonds!"

Two thin coats over Cult Nails Flushed.
I couldn't capture how incredibly blingy this is in person! Gorgeous! I think this trumps all of my other gold glitter toppers! Formula was really good, glitter dispersed evenly.
Naild'it Orange You Purdy (2) Naild'it Orange You Purdy (1)
Orange You Purdy
"a glitter topper with neon orange, purple, neon pink and a variety of other glitters including iridescent color shift glitters." 

One and a half coats over Nubar Kiwi.
This really only took one coat, but I did touch up a couple spots!
This is such a interesting combo..but I like it! It's so fruity :D

________________________________________________________

Formula wise these were all easy to apply, I love the variety in this spring collection! There is literally something for everyone! Make sure to check back for Part two very soon! (like tomorrow!)

Follow Naild'it on Facebook to keep up with Andrea's polishes!

A Whovian Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
You know, I typically love the holiday season, and Christmas in particular.
I'm usually SO excited, can't wait to wrap presents, singing Christmas carols..but not this year : /
I am excited to see Skylar open her gifts when she wakes, but I am very excited for the Christmas episode of Doctor Who to come on! So rather than just do a normal Christmas manicure, I opted (well..attempted) for a Doctor Who themed one!

My awesome husband bought me a Dalek ornament and I just knew I had to feature it with this mani!

I used Zoya Ginessa for the base color on my pointer finger and my pinky, then used striping tape and China Glaze With Love to try for the candy cane effect.
My middle nail has Zoya Dove as the base color.
I used Essie No Place Like Chrome, Milani Signature Gold, LA Colors Black Striper, Illamasqua Nuture, Wet N Wild Spoiled Permission to Proceed and Zoya Purity to make the 11th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver. However it smudged then I used topcoat : /
For the Tardis I used the black LA Colors striper, Cult Nails Time Traveler, Zoya Purity, China Glaze With Love, and China Glaze Glittering Garland. The base polish is Pahlish Your Slver Lining.
