________________________________________________________

There are not your typical creme polishes, almost all of these have a jelly quality to it, some more than others.
The formula on all of these is pretty good, they are sheer due to the jelly quality so some require three coats.
They go on a little patchy at first but even out. A few (like Dama da Noite dry to a matte/rubber looking finish)

Black Jack is a paint though, it didn't dry smoothly there were specs of something that made it have a few bumps.  I'd recommend them all but Black Jack.

Jade Nail Polish is available from purchase though Llarowe.
These are priced very affordable at only $5.00 ea.

CrowsToes I Make The Path - Swatches & Review

Hey guys! I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday : (
I meant to but my laptop won't turn back on and I have to send it in to get repaired. So I hooked up my desktop, but I haven't used it in almost a year and I cannot for the life of me remember the password. And here I am on my husbands computer, which I loathe because his coloring is so off and it makes my hands look weird, idk how I will edit pictures on this : / Guess I will sort it out!

Amywho! Today's post is CrowsToes I make the Path! Scroll down to see various combos!

CrowsToes CrowsToes I Make The Path (4) CrowsToes I Make The Path (2) CrowsToes I Make The Path (3)
I Make The Path
"a clear base with a mix of pastel glitters, pastel blue, green and gold glitters."

A single coat over Zoya Bevin.
CrowsToes I Make The Path (1) CrowsToes I Make The Path (9)
A single coat over Lancome Bubbly Gold.
CrowsToes I Make The Path (7)
A single coat over Illamasqua Radium.

____________________________________________

The formula on this was very much like most Crowstoes polishes I have used.
They aren't the easiest to spread easily with a single layer. I recommend dabbing and applying it that way.

CrowsToes polishes are available for purchase via  Bigcartel and Llarowe.
Priced at $13.00 (on Llarowe)

Candeo Colors Fallen - Swatches & Review!

Friday at last! What are your plans for this weekend? Me and the hubby are staying in and watching the Fringe season finale tonight! I can't wait!
Today's second post is Candeo Colors Fallen, my second Candeo Colors polish.
It only seemed fitting to layer it over Hare Polish Rusty Hearts as that is my second Hare Polish too!

IMG_7963 Candeo Fallen (3) Candeo Fallen (4) Candeo Fallen (2)
Fallen
"A delicate mix of white and iridescent glitter suspended in a clear base."

I believe I only used one coat over Rusty Hearts. Fallen has amazing coverage for a single coat of a glitter topper! I didn't have to place the glitter at all, it just went on evenly without any effort!
I really love this combination! It is so intricate.
The iridescent glitter turns blue over the red and looks fantastic!

I layered this over Hare Polish Rusty Hearts, seen here earlier today!

UP Colors Verde 360 Swatches! Holo Goodness!

Hey Guys! Sorry for being so scarce! Just really, really busy!
Movers come in two days! Eeek! Nervous..hopefully we will have everything ready.
I was at the hospital for THREE hours yesterday, it was awful! I mean nice service but ugh
Still sucked! I had to come back for lab results and got a CT scan done, labs showed my iron normal this time so i guess I'm not Anemic after all! But I do have a decently bad Vitamin D Deficiency!
Nothing too bad, well yet..CT scan s kinda making me nervous..results for that in 2 days!

Plus moving, packing, Physical Therapy and my hubs out processing out of the Army..yeah busy busy!
But I am here :) Anyway here is a beautiful holo polish I had to snatch up!!
Surprisingly this has held up SUPER well considering I am moving and packing, 2 chips after 2 days.
But not huge ones, only on my right hand and it's not as if it's a normal day since we are moving and stuff!
Good in my eyes anyway for a holo!

Up Colors Verde 360!




You can purchase Up Colors from Llarowe or ninjapolish!
Wishing you all well! <3 More posts soon!!

Keep all my lovely polishes in your thoughts during this moving period haha, last time I moved I only had about 20 polishes.. and I am very nervous!!

Hits-Hera Swatches & Review! A bit Picture heavy!

 Hey lovlies! Today's post is a review of Hits-Hera! & it is a BEAUTY!

Seriously in love with this one! I didn't have a holo even remotely like this color so it is a great addition to my collection! 

Hera is described as a bright Turquoise linear holo.
 I love the shade.. it is bright but not too bright for the fall season, more of a deeper teal/turquoise.
.
I used two coats for these pictures and it went on smoother than spreadable butter! lol
It just glid on so nicely, effortlessly. No patchiness or uneveness here!
I really love these "newer" (at least new to me) holos lately, the formula reminds me of Glitter Gal's maybe slightly thicker but definitely not hard to work with at all.
I feel like the newer holos just have so much better wear time then the Chg OMG's or Nfuoh's do.

I don't believe I used a topcoat for these photo's (I was worried that it might dull the holoiness)

 Most the photos were taken in the daylight, if not it is specified!



This one ^ was with my camera flash, not a great picture but I just thought it was so cool!
On my middle finger is is a holo oval! I mean i have had tons of linear holos but I don't remember ever seeing an entire circle lol (Yes, I am easily entertained!

Taken with lamp lighting.

 & Here is an example of what blogging is like with a toddler! :) She wanted to get her hand in the picture too!
hehe..

Seriously though guys..drooling on your keyboards is no good! Get control of that! ;)

I completely love this brand already, and I have a lot of them on my Christmas list! It was a little weird at first to get used to the different shaped bottle and wand, but not a issue after a nail or two I got it down pat :)
I love the availability of them next to the older Holo's and Leah Ann is an absolute pleasure to purchase from, wonderful customer service at Llarowe!

I definitely highly recommend this brand as a whole, I also have a flakie that is amazing aswell.
 (I will try to post it soon!)

They retail for $10.00 per 6ml at http://shop.llarowe.com/ 
The flakies are $8.00 per 6ml.

Very Impressed with these and see MANY in my future! They have a wonderful color range next to most holographic polishes I have seen! They have some very unique and gorgeous shades!!

<3 You guys!!
