Glitterdaze American Royalty - Swatches & Review!

Hi all! Today's post is featuring GlitterDaze American Royalty!
And holy crap, I can't believe it is almost the Fourth of July! Where has the time gone?

American Royalty - Three thin coats.

"Its that time of year again; backyard BBQs, pool parties, and get togethers.  Now you have the perfect patriotic polish to wear to all of these events! American Royalty is our little twist on the classic USA themed polishes; it has multiple shapes and sizes of red white and blue glitter in a light sky blue base as well as some gold accents to give it a little dash of class.
Apply three thin and even coats, top with a thick and glossy topcoat!"

Mattified with Butter London's Matte Finish.

_______________________________________________________

I used three thin coats for American Royalty, there is SO much glitter in this polish!
Seriously my camera had a hard time focusing on it! I even had to re-swatch it!

Despite being so glitter packed it goes on pretty smoothly and easily. And no fishing needed.
There were some shardy bits that wanted to stick up a bit but nothing crazy.
Just use 2-3 coats of topcoat or buff the bits sticking out lightly and use a thick topcoat.
I really like how different AR is than all of the other "America inspired" polishes I own.

You can purchase GlitterDaze products from www.GlitterDazeNP.com, 

You can purchase this beauty for $11.00 for a 15mL full size polish, or $4.00 for a 4mL mini.

What do you all have planned on the fourth?
We are going to see my sister and just hang out, and probably play some board games!

I really can't say enough how wonderful these polishes are! They have terrific formula's and go on so smoothly and dry quite fast. They are also affordable so that is a big plus!

I'm a sucker for a gorgeous pink so Queenie in a Bottle is my favorite!

Prairie Fairy doesn't look wonderful with my skin tone but I'm dying to stamp over it!

I used all of the polishes in this post, with the exception of Money Badger  to do the striped mani below.
I used nail tape and a striping brush. Unfortunately it smudged a little during topcoat application.

My daughter asked me to paint her nails with Queenie so I gladly obliged, then I asked her what she wanted on top! Flowers? Polka Dots? And she chose Polka Dots! I added the dots with a dotting tool and Rock A Guy Blue.
Then I decided to do my nails to match hers. 

I did my nails while she was on my lap and the topcoat smudged here also so needless to say they are far from perfect but I loved matching our nails together. :) (Who knows of a smudge proof topcoat? I used SV) 

Have you tried the brand Sation before? Which of these do you like?

A Rhyming Dictionary Gig, Grape Jam, Jam and Professor Wogglebug - Swatches & Review

Hey all! How has your weekend been? Okay here, lots and lots of swatching!
Anyway, today's post is a assortment of polishes from A Rhyming Dictionary, so scroll down and give them a looksie! 

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

Gig, Grape Jam, Jam, & Professor Wogglebug.



Gig

"a coral polish that has holographic flashes to it"

Three thin and easy coats! Flawless application. I really love this color and the subtle holo <3

Grape Jam

Grape Jam is the favorite garnish to Terp the Terrible’s magic muffins. Hence why Terp is so fascinated by Jam (Jonathan Andrew Manley). 

"The polish itself is pretty much mardi gras themed (on accident). A purple crelly with a mix of yellow, teal, lavender, and white mix of matte glitter in it. Dries to a matte finish."

I used three thin coats. It applied well and smoothly even with the amount of glitter in it, seriously impressive!

The shimmer is subtle (at least next to all the glitter) but gorgeous.

Jam

 "a mix of matte pink and blue shards, black, white, and purple shards and pink holo hexes."

A single coat over Gig, for a shard polish this really does disperse well. I've tried many that don't!

Professor Wogglebug

a pearly blue base with black and white shards, pink and blue squares white, pink, and black hearts with small pink hexes.

I used three thin coats for opacity. It applied really well.
 You all probably know by now that some shades are just not for me..mostly shimmers with glitters lol
 So this one isn't for me, but it has a good formula and applies well!

Windestine Crushed Rose In Spring, Polaris and Sky Dancers - Swatches & Review

Hey guys! Today's post is featuring some of the new spring polishes from Windestine! I hope you enjoy!

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

Crushed Rose in Spring
"Crushed Rose in Spring is part of the Spring 2013 Collection. It has matte pink, matte yellow, and snow white hex and shredded glitters in a pastel green colored base."

I used two coats for the coverage above .This polish is topcoat hungry, I had to put a few coats which caused the bubbling. It's so cute, I completely see beautiful, thorny roses in the garden.
The macro is more color accurate, but the below ones are slightly different from the base polish.
Applied with ease.

One coat of  Crushed Rose in Spring over Zoya Bevin.

Polaris
"Polaris is a mixture of matte pastel purple stars, yellow crescents, aqua hex and snow white hex in a black base with rainbow shimmer."

I used four very thin coats, three is fine though! It is a bit sheer so some might like layering it more. 
Application was easy breezy without any fishing at all. I really love the combo, the different sizes of glitter and the touch of the tiny holographic/rainbow sparkles. <3
 
Sky Dancers
"Sky Dancers has a LAVENDER base, and there are many different glitters such as pastel pink butterflies, pastel green, pastel purple, and aqua hex glitters in various sizes."

I used three coats for full opacity.
I do love all three of these polishes, but Sky Dancers is my absolute favorite.
It's just so sparkly, I mean seriously if you only have cash for one buy this one!
It's so packed full of glitters but still applies so great!

Here's one coat of each over black, the glitters in Sky Dancers pop over a dark base!
Polaris is also really nice over black. I think Crushed Rose In Spring would be better layered over a darker or medium green vs black though.

Pure Ice Diamond Couture Glitters - Swatches & Review!

Hey guys! Super excited to show you these polishes today :D
I have five polishes from the Pure Ice Diamond Couture Collection!

Sea-Quin, Hot-Rocks, Party of Five, Tinsel Town, & Material Girl.


Sea-Quin
Chartreuse micro glitter with holographic diamond shard glitters in a clear base.

I layered one coat of Sea-Quin over Illamasqua Smash.
(Smash is a bit smudged, I didn't wait long enough before I applied topcoat but it wasn't due to Sea-Quin)

Hot-Rocks
Scattered silver shimmer with small silver hex glitters, Black micro glitters & silver holographic diamond shard glitters in a clear base.

I layered a single coat of Hot-Rocks over Nails Inc Baker Street.
This is probably my favorite polish of these five! I can never have too many black glitter polishes!

Party of Five
Teal micro glitter, hex, shimmer, & teal holographic diamond shard glitters in a clear base.

For Party of Five I used two coats instead of one, over Opi Kiss me on my Tulips.

Tinsel TownBright blue micro glitter, and micro hex with blue holographic diamond shard glitters in a clear base.

Tinsel Town was the thickest of the bunch, a little goopy but applied fairly easily.
I layered this over Illamasqua Prosperity. Am I awesome for what? Look at this combo!
I have a little A England Avalon on my middle, and ring fingers on the lips sponged on.
I think Prosperity is colored a bit off but it was a hard polish for me to capture!

Material Girl
Soft pink micro hex glitter & shimmer with pink holographic diamonds in a clear base.
I layered a coat of Material Girl over (a single coat!) of A England St. George.
I really like this combination..it's a little different but goes well I think!
_____________________________________________________

All with the exception of Tinsel Town being on the goopy side, these all has perfect formulas.
The micro glitter covers evenly very easy, but such as most polishes you may need to fish for the larger shard glitters if you wish to have more on your nails. I did 0% fishing for glitters so this is how it came out by applying it normally.

You can purchase Pure Ice Polishes from their website and Walmart Stores for $1.99 each.

Keep up  with their brand on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

I highly recommend their polishes! I mean $1.99? What the heck wouldn't you buy them!!
They are affordable and higher quality than a lot of brands that cost triple the price.

Here is a recap picture! Which of these do you have your eye on? Let me know!
