Rescue Beauty Lounge 'Iconoclast'

Hello Readers, Today, I have a beautiful rich black shimmer from Rescue Beauty Lounge called 'Iconoclast'. It can be purchased directly from RBL's website here for $18.00 and while it's currently out of stock I'm sure it will be available before too long. I used 2 coats (I could have gotten away with 1 thicker coat) and 1 topcoat. This color has such a pure black pigment with a very fine silver, pink and teal shimmer to it. Once it's on the nails it appeals to be a rich black with a slight silver shimmer. Close up view... An even closer view... And...

China Glaze 'High Def'

Hello Readers, Today, I have a quick post of China Glaze 'High Def' from the Tronica collection. I absolutely LOVE this collection and I'm pretty sure it doesn't get enough credit. This is my absolute favorite color from the collection and it has a much better holo effect than you think from viewing the bottle.  Now on to the pics... With flash - the holo looks like this in most lights in person! I'd describe this color as a medium blue, somewhat muted and it's definitely a cool (not warm) shade of blue. It's somewhat a htf color but...

a-England 'Princess Tears' & OPI 'DS Diamond'

Hello Readers, Today, I have a comparison post between a-England 'Princess Tears' from the The Legend collection and OPI 'DS Diamond'. When I got the a-England polish I automatically knew I had to do a comparison post! I'd say that the aE is a cooler purple with a finer holo and of course it has a pink-purple flash that the OPI doesn't possess. Also, the aE formula is more opaque. I used two coats for both. The bottle shot... Left to right:  a-England 'Princess Tears' and OPI 'DS Diamond' A Nice Close-Up... An angled view...And with...

OPI 'Red Lights Ahead...Where?' & Lacquistry '24k Shredded'

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!! I hope everyone is having a nice romantic day! Today, I have OPI 'Red Lights Ahead...Where?' & Lacquistry '24k Shredded' layered together. I really wanted a bright orange-red shade to use with these gold shards and I think it came out pretty nice! What I started out with... Then I added Lacquistry's '24k Shredded'... And a close up... Gold baby gold!!!... And another close up... So, what do you guys think?? I'm pretty much in love with Lacquistry polishes, the gold one can be found here. While it's currently...

OPI 'I Don't Give A Rotterdam!'

Hello Readers! Today, is the first post (of many to come...) using my new camera. I'm still learning what exposure and lighting works best so there will be a bit of a learning curve here. I got the Panasonic ZS7 Lumix, it's the same one that Sam from Fashion polish uses and her photos are what totally sold me on purchasing this camera! Obviously I have a ways to go but here they are... OPI 'I Don't Give A Rotterdam!' OPI 'I Don't Give A Rotterdam!' OPI 'I Don't Give A Rotterdam!' I used 2 coats and had no issues, I'd say the color...

China Glaze Prismatics Collection

Hello Readers, Ok, today I have a really quick post of the China Glaze Prismatics collection. It's clear that 3 are my favorite and I think you'll agree. Sadly, I didn't even bother to swatch 'Ray-Diant' because it's just not that pretty in my opinion and well... I only have 5 fingers. These polishes can all be purchased now from one of my favorite eBay sellers here, they combine shipping to a reasonable cost and ship FAST!!! You can pick what colors you want so you don't have to order the whole collection. My 3 favorites... I hope these...
