Press Sample Affiliate Link

Hello lovelies! Sorry for the serious lack of posting lately, I've been posting less and trying to catch up on swatches! 
I'm trying hard to get back on my game, or hey maybe improve!

Today's post the the awesome Polish Revolution Such a Drag Collection!
This collection was inspired by RuPaul’s Drag Race! I haven't seen it before but maybe I should watch it?!

Polish Revolution Bad Ass Mother Tucker
Bad Ass Mother Tucker - One coat over China Glaze Mahogany Magic & Zoya Dree.

"If there is anything one can say about drag performers, it is this: they have confidence, and are genuine bad asses. This polish sparkles and shines like the personalities and abilities of the performers who have what it takes to be such a drag. This is a fine mix of turquoise holo, caramel, and iridescent glitter in a clear base."

A Fun Fishnet French Manicure!


Hey guys! Guess what today is? Closing day!!! Today we will be homeowners! O:

Today's post is a copy cat manicure that I saw Lauryn of Polish Revolution post on her Instagram!
See her Butter London inspired manicure without the stamping here, and with it here!

I like Lauryn's better but scroll down to see mine below!

Black French Manicure Fishnet French Manicure  (1) Fishnet French Manicure  (2)

I started with nail strengthener, then used a small striping brush & A England Camelot for the French Tips and Half Moons.
For the stamping I used MoYou London Pro Collection 02 XL plate and Konad stamping polish in black.

What do you guys think of this mani? It smudged a tiny bit and it's not quite perfect.
 I don't really ever do French Tips or Half Moons so I need to more to get the practice!

Also Is there a name for a French Manicure with Half Moons?
I haven't found one so if there isn't I think we should name it!

Happy Revolution Project Badass Collection (1)

Happy Revolution  Aluminum Monster

A sunny jelly with orange, gold, and yellow glitter with shimmer."


Happy Revolution Flip Flip Flipadelphia 
Flip Flip Flipadelphia - Three coats.

"For those moments when you're reigniting old rivalries or playing flip cup (or both).
A gray jelly with red, gunmetal, and silver glitter."


Happy Revolution GreenMan
GreenMan - Three coats.


"Wearing this green polish will help you get through some hard times, and to party in style!
A bright green jelly with neon green and lime iridescent glitters."


Happy Revolution  Kitten Mittens
Kitten Mittens - Three coats.

"Is your cat making too much noise all the time?... Think there's no answer? You're so stupid!
There is! Kitten Mittens. An adorable white jelly with white, black, bubblegum, and baby blue glitters."


Happy Revolution  Night Crawlers
Night Crawlers - Three coats.

"What is Nightcrawlers? Why, it's a game where you crawl around in the night like worms..
and this polish is perfect for the occasion, without ruining it with blankets.
This is a wine-colored jelly with matte gray, silver, gunmetal, and burgundy glitters and red micro glitter."


Happy Revolution Rum Ham
Rum Ham - Three coats.


"Eating your drinks? That is genius! Get drunk at sea with this deliciously boozy polish.
A pink jelly with copper, pink, brown, pineapple and cherry colored glitters."


Happy Revolution  the Nightman Cometh
The Nightman Cometh - One coat over China Glaze Def Defying.


"Nightman, sneaky and mean; spider inside my dreams, I think I love you.
You too can have sexy hands like Nightman, with this polish!
A glitter topcoat with black, lime, gold, and white glitter."


_______________________________________________________

Unfortunately I haven't seen the show (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) that this collection was based off of, yet!
 
But I still love this collection it's
 just great! The formulas are perfect and go on smooth. 
Next time I will layer Kitten Mittens over white I think, there is a lot of pretty glitter in it so it appears a bit chunky with three coats. A lot of them are just sheer enough to layer if you'd like but also opaque with three coats. I really love each one of these but I have to say that Aluminum Monster is just my favorite, utterly stunning!
Followed closely by Night Crawlers & Rum Ham!


Make sure to keep up with both Kristi & Lauryn to see their beautiful polish creations!

Eleganza
"a creamy light purple base with brown, copper, and holographic orange and turquoise glitter."

Three thin coats shown above. 
I think I'd prefer this polish layered a bit more than on it's own but it's gorgeous. The glitter mix works so well!

"a creamy light blue base with orange, blue, periwinkle and lilac."

This is just so cute and perfect, so springy! 
I love how Lauryn uses peculiar glitter combos, but they always work! She is mad talented.
Polish Revolution Glitterbox (5) Polish Revolution Glitterbox (3) Polish Revolution Glitterbox (2) Polish Revolution Glitterbox (1) 
Glitterbox
"a mix of iridescent and holographic square glitters in a variety of sizes. The holographic squares are pink, blue, purple and silver."

Glitterbox  is simply amazing, just gorgeous! I used one coat above over A England Lancelot.
I'd have loved it without the shimmer but with it, it is a knockout!!It doesn't disperse the easiest ever, but application is very far some being difficult.

"a milky nude base, brown, copper, iridescent and periwinkle glitter is sure to have you smiling, even if it is a little too chilly to show some skin."

Here is three thin coats on its own. Very sheer but beautiful, I also layered it over a blue below!

"a hot coral jelly has turquoise holographic hexes, metallic turquoise squares, matte white and pink hexes, and a hot pink flaky shimmer that shows really well in direct light and the sun."

Summer State of Mind is shown with three thin coats above, and is officially my favorite coral polish I own! Polish Revolution Zombie Gardens (3) Polish Revolution Zombie Gardens (2)
 Zombie Gardens
"a creamy gray base with purple, pink, yellow, green, yellow and turquoise glitter. Like flowers on a rainy day."

I used thee thin coats to perfect coverage.
I just love this SO incredibly much! I picture a zombie munching on colorful Easter eggs! hehe

Polish Revolution Nail Lacquer Swatches & Review PartTwo!

Hey there! Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
Are you ready for my Polish Revolution Part Two post??!

Underground Movement
"A purple jelly polish that is chock full of different glitters.
Fine glitters are turquoise holographic, turquoise hex and square mix, and iridescent.
Medium glitters used are turquoise and blue squares, as well as medium blue holographic.
Large hexes are silver holographic."

This polish is so up my alley! Easily one of my favorites from Polish Revolution so far!
But I am such a fan of jellys, purples, blues and blurples!
Three coats for opacity. The formula went on really great and the glitter dispersed very evenly.
Polish Revolution  Vajazzle (2) Polish Revolution  Vajazzle (1)
Vajazzle
"Vajazzle is made by literally mixing the batches of Puffy Taco and Glitter Herpes, because when you have glitter on your taco, it is called Vajazzle. ;)"

If you thought Lauryn's polish names couldn't get better you were wrong! haha
This polish is amazing, I mean how could it not be when it was made from two gorgeous shades?
I can't wait to wear it again! I don't feel like the light pink showed it off that well.
I used 1.5 coats over Lancome Rose Plumeti. The formula is a little bit thick but workable.

Polish Revolution What Alice Found (2) Polish Revolution What Alice Found (3)
What Alice Found
"a mix of fine burgundy, pink holographic, and gold glitter in a clear base."

I used one coat of What Alice Found on my pinky and pointer fingers, and dabbed some onto my middle and ring fingers. The glitter spreads evenly very easy.
Layered over Lancome Chocolat Mordore. Love this combo! It makes me want chocolate covered strawberries..

Polish Revolution Vegan Zombie (1)
Polish Revolution Vegan Zombie (2) Polish Revolution Vegan Zombie (4)
Vegan Zombie
"
This light gray jelly has fine deep blue glitter, medium hexes in light green, light green holo, satin white, green squares, and larger satin white hexes."


Never have I ever imagined a Vegan Zombie before...BUT I envision this nail polish being the perfect representation of it!
I used three thin coats. I will probably layer it in the future, it's a bit sheer but I love it!
Polish Revolution Zombie Christmas (3) Polish Revolution Zombie Christmas (2)
Zombie Christmas
"
Fine and medium red holographic glitters are hanging out along with large matte red hexes"

I think I may have used four thin coats here, so I plan to layer this next time I wear it.
But the effect is really awesome! It is Christmas-y but not overly so to the point that you can't wear it year round.
