Glam Polish Hairspray Collection Swatches and Review

Hi Lovelies! I'm such a ditz lately. I have started working nights and got my days all confused. I meant to post my review of this gorgeous Glam Polish Hairspray collection yesterday, with time to spare before the release, but instead I'm sneaking in right under the gun with just a few hours left before the release. Please pardon my blunder and the enjoy swatches.

The Glam Polish Hairspray collection is a limited edition release, inspired by the musical of the same name. Hairspray is one of my favorite musicals, which I actually got to see on Broadway, so I was super excited for this collection. It contains nine gorgeous shades and I've got six of them to show you today!

Kaleidoscope Whirlwind

Hi Everyone! I recently added a few more MoYou plates to my collection and I was itching to try them out. Starting out today with a manicure created using one of the Kaleidoscope plates. I'm pretty much obsessed with the images of this entire collection, although I only opted to purchase one plate due to image size issues. Insert really sad pouty face directed at MoYou here...

Gold Foiled

Hi Lovelies! Early last year I had attempted to franken my own gold leaf top coat which didn't quite work out as planned (see my franken gone wrong post here). What I was left with was a bunch of gold leaf sheets and some 'real' gold leaf flakes that I purchased for a 2nd mini-trial. Until now the flakes have sat unloved next to the rest of my nail decorations. I finally got the inspiration to use them! Why you might ask? That's right because as I might have mentioned a billion and one times, in my world purple and gold belong together...

Cityscape Underneath the Milky Way

Hi Lovelies! Today I would like to show you a simple stamped manicure that I created while playing around with the new Polished by KPT winter shades. The gorgeous Underneath the Milky Way made me feel as though I had the night sky on my nails so I felt compelled to add a cityscape...

Glam Polish Mid-Winter's Dream Collection Swatches and Review

Hi Lovelies! I'm excited to share with you swatches of select shades from the Glam Polish Mid-Winter's Dream collection which will launch tomorrow. The collection consists of a total of nine icy winter inspired shades and I've got six of them to show you today...

Polished by KPT Cosmic XOdus Collection Swatches and Review

Hi Lovelies! I've been busy swatching and today I'm excited to show you this gorgeous Winter collection named Cosmic XOdus from Polished by KPT which will be released tomorrow. The collection includes a variety of different finishes including glitter, duochrome and of course thermal. Since this post is looong, I'll make my intro short and get right to the swatches and review. I hope you'll enjoy!

Falling for Flowers

Hi Lovelies! When I see purple, I think gold and if that purple has a gold shimmer then it is practically a crime not to play it up. It is probably my favorite color combo ever and therefore should come as no surprise that I couldn't resist playing around with some stamping and this gorgeous purple shade from the Glam Polish Broadway collection!

Select Shades of Dance Legend HoloDays Collection

Hi Lovelies! Today I have swatches of a few select shades from the Dance Legend HoloDays collection. As the name suggests these beauties are loaded with holo sparkle which has me longing for sunny days rather than the stormy weather that is happening now. These three are my favorite shades from the six piece collection, but as you can imagine the rest are equally gorgeous...

Glam Polish Broadway Collection Swatches and Review

Hi Lovelies! Today I'm super excited to show you some gorgeous shades from the upcoming Glam Polish Broadway collection. These shades have been inspired by the glitz and glam of Broadway musicals. Loaded with sparkle and plenty of ultra holographic glitter these lacquers really capture what they set out to do. The collection consists of nine shades and I've got six of them to show you today.

Dreamgirls
A grape purple jelly filled with scattered ultra holographic micro glitter and hold glass fleck shimmer. It sparkles and shines like crazy. Truly a must have for any purple lover. The application was great and formula is very nice. Two easy coats for full coverage. Just look at that holo glitter in the bottle! Although it was difficult to fully capture in my lightbox, it does show well on the nail. Swatches are with a top coat...

Floral Stamping

Hi! Sometimes I get so caught up in a manicure that I start to over-complicate things. Adding glitter, more colors, making decals, accenting with dots, etc that I forget how nice something clean and simple can be. Does that happen to you? Do you ever get to a certain point and think you should have stopped while you were ahead? For this manicure I did just that. I decided to stop and just enjoy a simple stamped look...

Glam Polish Snoopy the Witch!

Hi Everyone! I am super tired from working all weekend, but I've still got enough energy to show you the fun Glam Polish glitter topper named Snoopy the Witch. It is one of the Halloween Limited Edition polishes which will be available for pre-order on the 17th. Inspired by the colors of the glitter in this bewitching mix, I decided to pair it up with a matching gradient...

Coca-Cola by OPI Collection Swatches and Review

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to share with you my swatches and review of the OPI Coca-Cola collection. I've had my little paws on this collection for quite a while now, but the darker hues scream Fall to me and I was rather reluctant to try them out during the hot Summer months. Now with occasional cooler days in the mix, it seems the perfect time to rock these beauties...

Tutorial: Abstract Stained Glass Nail Art

Hi Everyone! I apologize in the delay of putting this tutorial together. I've been in a bit of a funk lately and I'm hoping it will pass soon. A few of you requested that I share a tutorial for this abstract stained glass manicure that I showed you a couple of months ago and I have not forgotten! I had actually created the tutorial at the time of the manicure, but have just now sorted through the photos and can finally share it with you...

Supplies Used:

• Polishes: Zoya Dillon (minty green), Hudson (lavender) and Rebel (sky blue), and Brooklyn (gold)
• Small detail brush

Steps:

Select Shades of Dance Legend Galaxy Collection...

Hi Lovelies! Today I'm excited to show you three gorgeous shades from the Dance Legend Galaxy collection. The collection consists of holo multichrome lacquers which to me is like saying, magic! How can you go wrong with holo and multichrome in one bottle? Indoors you see a speckled mutichrome and outdoors the holo bling makes it's presence know...

Glam Polish Euphoria and Temptation...

Hi Everyone! Thank you for taking the time yesterday to respond to my question! Sounds like we all just sneak away during a free moment or two throughout the day to read blogs. I must say that I do the same thing and don't have a dedicated time to explore. I am thrilled you choose to stop by here when you can and read my ramblings or just look at photos! :)

Today I would like to tempt you with two more Glam Polish shades. These are from the Opulence Series available only from the Glam Polish website and not any of their international stockists. These two beauties contain real gold leaf flakes and plenty of shimmer...

Pastel Jelly Sandwich...

There was a time not too long ago when I was obsessing over pretty pastel shades with tiny specks of black glitter. To be exact, I was drooling over the El Corazon Eggs of Wild Birds collection. After playing around with the OPI Sheer Tints skittle manicure from yesterday, I realized that with a little glitter jelly sandwich action, I could create just about any speckled shade that I wanted thanks to InDecisive Lacquer...

Neons by OPI!

Hi Everyone! Sorry for such sporadic posting recently. There is nothing worse than having lots of beautiful polish to show you and very little time to do. I hope to return to my regularly scheduled posting soon. ;)

Today I would like to show you Neons by OPI. I was so excited for these beauties because it is not often that OPI releases such bright shades. Actually, I believe these are their first ever full-sized neons and they are now part of the permanent line which is so awesome. These are just perfect for the sunshine and summertime...

Love in Bloom...

Today's manicure was inspired by Day 15 prompt of 'Love' in the MoYou 30 day challenge. Although I haven't had time to take part in many of the challenges, this one seemed a perfect fit for the Polished by KPT beauty 'Love in Bloom' that I was playing around with a little bit ago. I took the polish name quite literaly and surrounded the couple in love with blooms...

Polished by KPT Nostalgia and Ophelia's Love...

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you two more Polished by KPT thermal beauties that Katherine, the creator and mastermind behind this lacquer, sent to me for review. These are darker and moodier than the previous Polished by KPT lovelies that I have tried and I just adore them. Both of these transition from a pale gray to black and the shimmer what makes each of them so unique...

Polished by KPT Kelvin Bleu, Permanganate and Vanda...

Guess what! I've got a few more beautiful Polished by KPT thermals to show you today. I hope you are loving them as much as I do! Katherine, the creator, owner and mastermind behind these thermal wonders sent me the most amazing package to swatch and share with you. As you can see I've been swatching them just a little bit at a time because I don't have the heart to take them off right away. I want to enjoy them all! So selfish of me, right?! Ha!

Today I would like to show you the beautiful Kelvin Bleu, Permanganate and Vanda...
