Pahlish Timeless Flight Collection - Swatches & Review!



Hey guys! Happy Friday!! I can hardly believe it's even March yet and it already feels like it is flying by!
KC Comicon is next weekend! Woot! My sister, BIL and brother are going to head up here to stay with us for it since our place is the closest so we can all go again this year like last. I love my family so much <3
 I'm way too excited to drink with them and play board games, haha.


Anyway today's post is a brand new collection from the talented (and newlywed) Shannon from Pahlish!
Congratulations again Shannon!!


This collection is the 
Timeless Flight Collection, it has six gorgeous holographic polishes inspired by Elton John!

Pahlish Electric Boots
Electric Boots - Two coats.

Electric Boots is a little sheer but it went on smooth and even for me and was opaque with two coats.

It's super sparkly and shiny and much more holographic in person.

"Bright cornflower blue linear holographic with soft gold shimmer and scattered gold flakes"

Pahlish Mohair Suit (1)
Mohair Suit - Three thin coats.

Mohair Suit went on like a breeze for me. Two coats was a little sheer so I used three.
I recommend using two coats of topcoat to make it smooth. Some of the little micro flakies weren't laying flat for me.
This is just an awesome color! Great for people who need work friendly colors but still need some sparkle!

Jindie Nails Holiday & Winter Polishes - Swatches & Review!



Hi guys! How is every bodies new year going? Mine is busy!
I know I haven't been posting much but I have been swatching, more post really soon!

Today's post is featuring Holiday & Winter polishes from Jindie Nails!

Jindie Nails A Holo Night
O Holo Night - Two easy coats. Perfect formula. 

"a blackened navy blue linear holo with violet/blue shimmer and SpectraFlair throughout."

Jindie Nails All of the Lights
All of the Lights - One coat over Nars Zulu.
Very good coverage and dispersion! Only one coat needed!
(LOVE this combo!!)


"a holiday glitter topper loaded with small and medium sized matte and metallic dots in green, red, turquoise, 
baby blue, magenta and silver all in a clear base packed with silver and turquoise flecks and shimmer."

Jindie Nails Holly Dazed and Confused
(LE) Holly-dazed and Confused - Two coats.
Application was good, the glitters tried to bunch up a little bit on the nail though.


"a deep hunter green jelly with red, silver and white dots throughout.  
This one's also loaded with silver shimmer and flecks of real silver throughout."

Jindie Nails Just Claws
Just Claws - Two easy coats. Perfect formula. 

"Formerly Mrs. Claws, is a beautiful, highly pigmented darker pink, linear 
holographic polish that shows a gorgeous rainbow prism effect in the sunlight."

Jindie Nails Polo
Polo - Three easy coats. Perfect formula. 

"a gorgeous blurple linear holographic polish with indigo/violet shimmer flecks."

Jindie Nails The Snow Must Go On
(LE) The Snow Must Go On - Three coats.
The formula was okay, not as great as the other Jindie crelly's I have and love.
Which makes me think I may have just gotten an off bottle. It was still not bad to apply just a little thicker than I prefer.


"a fun white crelly polish with neon green stars, matte red stars, matte dark green stars pastel 
green hex, red metallic and matte dots, and green dots and squares and a little shimmer."

Jindie Nails Vixen (1) Jindie Nails Vixen (2)
Vixen - Two easy coats. Perfect formula!

"a deep burgundy/wine linear holo with color changing flakes & SpectraFlair throughout."
______________________________________________________

I'm really loving these polishes, especially the holos!
All of the holos in this post had amazing formulas, seriously killer! I hope Jen makes more!

These are all gorgeous but I have to saw Vixen stands out to me, the flakies add such a special touch. Truly gorgeous.

Also I have been testing out Glisten & Glow HK Girl Topcoat! I used it for all of the swatches in today's post. 
Review to come! I have to say that indies are really beating mainstream topcoats in my opinion!

This is my first experience trying Takko Lacquer and I'm in love!
Scroll down to see six beauties! Three older Takkitos and three new ones!

_______________________________________________________

Where do I start? This is my first experience with Takko Lacquer and I have to say that I am blown away!
All of these shades are so stunning! All of these have fantastic formula's and go on pretty easy breezy.
I used a third coat for Heads Will Roll because when it shifted lighter there was a bit VNL but it's not necessary.

I had a hard time capturing the true beauty of 
Schiaparelli,
it has tons of lime green shimmer that the camera just couldn't pick up.
It's hard to even pick a favorite, I honestly can't! I can say that I LOVE Nirvana, it's incredibly stunning!


You can purchase Takko Lacquer from http://www.takkolacquer.com for $13.00

KBShimmer Swatches & Review - Part One

Hi guys! I hope you are all having a great Friday!
Today's post has four gorgeous KBShimmer nail polishes, and be sure to come back tomorrow to see four more!


*Products in this post were sent to me for the purpose of a 100% honest unbiased review.*

Kbshimmer Part 1 Kbshimmer Berry Patch
Berry Patch - Four coats.
Most bloggers seemed to only need three coats for Berry Patch but I felt three was a little too sheer.
 Four makes it perfect! It goes on very easily and evenly. I used thin coats so it didn't feel thick on my nail at all.

"A creamy pink base sets off  a scattering of large blueberry hex glitter, small raspberry hex glitter,  holographic pink glitter and micro strawberry red glitter and raspberry pink  glitter."


Kbshimmer Cocoa Nut
Cocoa Nut - Two coats.
Cocoa Nut is so rich and beautiful, definitely makes me think of chocolate covered cherries!
My photo captured it a bit dark (but them too light in the bottle shot and macro, wth?)
But it's just a tad lighter.


Cocoa Nut is a chocolate brown crelly filled with gorgeous raspberry glitters and tons of shimmer.

Kbshimmer Don't Teal Anyone
Don't Teal Anyone - Three coats.
Don't Teal anyone went on really great, such a stunning polish. So pigmented!


"A deep teal base with gold, teal, blue, navy and fuchsia hexes in several sizes, and micro fuchsia bars.  even if you are not a fan of bar glitter, give this polish a chance.  The  bar glitter is micro fine, and adds a sparkle to the polish without the troubles  of normal bar glitter."

Kbshimmer Hex Appeal
Hex Appeal - Three coats.
Despite the massive amount of glitters Hex Appeal went on quite smooth and even for me, Impressive!

"A navy jelly base with magenta holographic, silver,  and blue hex glitter. Tiny micro bar glitter adds a bit of pop. This one reminds  me of New Years Eve and confetti floating in Times Square."

_______________________________________________________

I really love all the KBShimmer polishes I have and these are just as amazing!
None of these polishes were difficult to apply in the slightest.
I can't even pick out a favorite, most of you who have been reading a while probably know that blue
 and blurple jellies are 
like my kryptonite so I obviously LOVE Hex Appeal (the name is awesome too!)
But they are all equally stunning - I highly recommend  Christy's polishes!

You can purchase KBShimmer polishes from https://www.kbshimmer.com/ for $8.75 ea.
Along with many other nail, cuticle and body products!
You can also purchase KBShimmer polishes from Etsy and Harlow & Co.
