Indie Spotlight: The Escape Collection from Rainbow Polish

Happy Thursday! Today I am very excited to be sharing three beautiful polishes from the indie brand Rainbow Polish’s new Escape Collection. I have never tried Rainbow Polish before, and I am so impressed with the ones I’m about to show you today. Even the packaging is great — the bottles and labels are professionally done. Here is a quick look at the polishes in the bottle, and then a detailed review!

 

IMG_1477 IMG_1485 IMG_1489

First up is Wild Orchid, a beautiful pink jelly polish with scattered holographic glitter and blue and purple hexagonal glitters. Wild Orchid is opaque in two coats and has a great, full coverage formula. The polish glides on so easily, and I just love the color combination. Wild Orchid is like a jelly sandwich manicure in one polish!

 

IMG_1505 IMG_1507

Next up is Stinging Jellyfish, a multicolored glitter top coat with holographic bar glitters mixed in! I layered one coat over Spoiled in Plastic Flamingo. Stinging Jellyfish has a great formula, and is absolutely stunning! It can make any nail polish color have an instant rock star quality! The photos above don’t do the sparkle justice — when the holographic glitters hit the light it looks amazing!

 

IMG_1498 IMG_1501

Last but not least is Tahitian Waters, a light blue jelly base with holographic grains, medium pink hexagons, large holographic hexagons, and holographic squares. I layered one coat over Sally Hansen Barracuda since the formula is too sheer to be worn alone. Once again I am so impressed with the formula of this polish! The glitters apply with ease — absolutely no fishing for them whatsoever! Tahitian Waters is such a unique polish, and perfect for summer!

All in all, I am loving these polishes from the Rainbow Polish Escape Collection. These are just three of the eight available, so be sure to head on over to her Etsy shop HERE to see the full collection. Each polish retails for $8.50, but you get a discount when you buy the whole collection at $49. You can also stay up to date with Rainbow Polish on Facebook HERE.

Dare to Compare Week! Day Four — Multi-Colored Glitter

Happy Thursday! It is Day Four of Dare to Compare Week, and today’s post deals with glitter, something any nail polish aficionado loves! While indie brands do glitter top coats best, many boutique and drugstore brands are now creating some glitters that are just as eye-catching. Since my favorite muli-colored glitter from the indie AbsolutLacquer is now discontinued, I wanted to see how some available polishes compared. Let me show you what I discovered!

 

IMG_1422 IMG_1423

From left to right, the polishes are AbsolutLacquer in Maybe I’m Crazy, Lex Cosmetics in Arcoiris, and Milani Jewel FX in Gems. They do look a bit different in the bottle, but let’s see what they look like on the nail. I applied one coat of each polish over white in all the photos you are about to see.

IMG_1380

Polish Name: Milani Jewel FX in Gems

Price: $4.99 [Buy HERE]

Formula: Surprisingly great!

Color Description: Multi-colored glitter with small and medium hexagons.

Bonus: So fun, and can be purchased at the drugstore!

IMG_1387

Polish Name: Lex Cosmetics in Arcoiris

Price: $10 [Buy HERE]

Formula: Great formula! Some reflective curling, but lays perfectly flat on the nail.

Color Description: Multi-colored glitter with small, medium, and large hexagons.

Bonus: The formula does separate in the bottle, but with a few shakes it is good to go!

IMG_1393

Polish Name: AbsolutLacquer in Maybe I’m Crazy

Price: Discontinued! This polish is no longer created or sold.

Formula: This bottle needs a good shake to ensure the glitters are mixed and ready for application!

Color Description: Multi-colored glitters in all shapes and sizes!

Bonus: This was my very first indie polish!

 

IMG_1395 IMG_1399

Here we have each polish shown side by side. From left to ride is the Milani, the Lex, and the AbsolutLacquer. While my personal favorite of the bunch is Maybe I’m Crazy from AbsolutLacquer, I would definitely find one of the other two to be an acceptable substitute. Both have an excellent formula! I would choose Milani Gems due to its $4.99 price tag over the Lex, but if you are a sucker for the large hexagonal glitter that would be your new go to. This comparison gives me hope that I will be able have a back-up for my Maybe I’m Crazy once my bottle is empty!

What do you do when a favorite polish is discontinued?! What is your favorite glitter top coat?!

Indie Spotlight: Shimmer Polish Part IV

Happy Friday! Today I have the final installment of my Shimmer Polish posts for all of you. Shimmer Polish is an indie brand featuring a line of beautiful glitter nail polishes. Each polish is unique and versatile, and can be worn in a number of ways. In Part I and Part II, I wore each polish alone, and in Part III I layered each polish over a base color. Today, I used some Shimmers to create some fun nail art looks! Let me show you the manicures I created using Shimmer Polish.

 

IMG_0907

 

IMG_0905

For my first look, I asked my Facebook followers how I should use the glitter. Stephanie suggested a glitter gradient, and it worked out perfectly that the name of the polish is also Stephanie! I began with a base color of Sally Hansen Virtual Violet, and then added on Shimmer Polish Stephanie for the gradient effect. Stephanie is full of blue and purple glitters, with some pink thrown in as well. To achieve the gradient, I lightly tapped the brush across the top of my nails and lightly dragged the glitter down to about the middle of each nail. I found this technique to be much simpler than using a cosmetic sponge, and the glitter is very forgiving! Make sure to follow up with a layer of top coat to even out the finish.

 

IMG_0935 IMG_0939

Next I decided to do some geometric nails using the scotch tape method. I began with a base of Wet ‘n Wild in Fashionista Lisa, and let that dry completely. Then, I placed tape on my nails and rotated it to get a triangle cut out on either the top, bottom, left, or right of my nail. Finally, I applied two coats of Shimmer Polish in Tracy on top and peeled off the tape while the polish was still wet. Tracy is a gold, holographic glitter polish. I think it looks great against the purple shade of Fashionista Lisa! I also used my Butter London Matte Finish top coat to complete the look. I just love the combination of matte glitter and the geometric shapes!

 

IMG_1005 IMG_1009

I was loving the look of matte glitter, so I used the matte top coat again for my next manicure. First, I applied Julep Morganas my base color. Then I grabbed Shimmer Polish in Tammy, a glitter filled with gold, purple, black, and silver! I didn’t want a lot of glitter on my nails, so I applied the polish a bit differently. Instead of brushing on the polish, I dabbed the tip of the brush all over my nail. It spread out the glitter quite nicely! Finally, I mattified the whole look. I think this is the perfect manicure!

 

IMG_1014 IMG_1015

Last but not least is a funky manicure of my own creation! I began with black as my base using Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics in Tarred. I was hoping to create a jelly sandwich manicure, and applied a layer of Shimmer Polish in Vanessa. Vanessa is a cool mix of silver, red, and black glitters, with hints of many other colors as well. My manicure went a bit crazy when I attempted to use another coat of Tarred for the top of the jelly sandwich. The glitter was almost completely hidden! I got creative and dabbed a tissue over the wet polish to remove some of the black. The result was this neat look! It’s unconventional, but I love the rock star look I achieved. It’s also similar to a galaxy manicure! Sometimes our nail polish mistakes can lead to fun looks after all!

All in all, I am still so impressed with Shimmer Polish. You really can’t go wrong with polishes that can be worn alone, layered, and used in nail art. These versatile polishes can be purchased on Etsy HERE. You can also like Shimmer Polish on Facebook HERE.

What do you think of these nail art looks?! How do you use glitter to spice up your manicure?

Indie Spotlight: The Divine Collection by Cameo Colours Lacquers

Happy Monday! Today I have a review of the new Divine Collection by the indie brand Cameo Colours Lacquers. This collection features six holographic polishes in the perfect shades for spring. I apologize in advance, for the photos in this post do not capture the holographic effect as well as I would like. Rest assured that in real life the holo truly does shine! Let me show you the polishes from the Divine Collection.

IMG_0946 IMG_0950 IMG_0951First up is Athena, a light purple holo that can be classified as a lilac shade. It is opaque in three coats, as the formula is sheer but easy to work with. I love the more subdued of look of Athena. This polish is so pretty and feminine! I was impressed with how quickly Athena dried.

IMG_0956 IMG_0958 IMG_0959The next Divine polish is Brighid, a pastel yellow holo. It was not quite opaque in two coats, so I added a third to ensure it was full coverage. Brighid has a great formula that is a bit on the sheer side. This polish reminds me a bit of Zoya Piaf, but with more of a holographic look instead of a shimmer. Brighid is so light and dainty! I personally don’t think it goes well with my skin tone, but it sure is pretty.

IMG_0968 IMG_0966 IMG_0969Next up is Hathor, a gorgeous light blue holo. Hathor is opaque in two coats. The formula was a bit patchy with the first layer, but evened right up on the second. Hathor has a very strong holographic effect. I love this one so much! It reminds me of the coveted Color Club Halo Hues. I think Hathor is my favorite from the Divine Collection.

IMG_0975 IMG_0976 IMG_0978Ishtar is the mint green of the Divine Collection! Opaque in three coats, Ishtar has a green formula that is on the sheer side. The holographic effect is very strong with this polish, and is quite stunning. Ishtar is absolutely perfect for spring, and could be work for a Saint Patrick’s Day look for sure!

IMG_0981 IMG_0984 IMG_0987Next up is Pele, a pastel orange holo that I would call a tangerine shade. Pele is opaque in two coats. The color is very subtle, but the holo stands out strong. This is the perfect color for summer, or an alternative to a nude nail polish shade. The pastel look is great for those who don’t like “loud” nails.

IMG_0989 IMG_0991 IMG_0993Last but not least is Venus, a pale pink holo. The formula on this polish was a little patchy, and was opaque in three coats. Venus leans towards a purple shade, and is very feminine. This is a great holographic for an every day look!

All in all, the Divine Collection by Cameo Colours Lacquers provides a great holographic collection with beautiful spring shades! I love the pastel colors that still have a holographic effect. It’s the perfect combination in my book! The Divine Collection is being released on March 15, 2013 on the Cameo Colours Etsy site HERE. Let me know what you think of these polishes!

Indie Spotlight: The Land Before Time Collection by LynBDesigns

Happy Tuesday! I have a really fun review today featuring a collection of polishes based off the animated movie series the Land Before Time from the indie brand LynBDesigns. If you loved those dinosaurs back when you were younger, then I know you are going to adore this nail polish collection! It’s cute and whimsical, yet very versatile. Let me show you these great polishes!

IMG_0594 IMG_0595 IMG_0596First up is Cera, a light orange base filled with pink, orange, and yellow fine glitters and yellow square glitters. Cera is opaque in two coats, but the formula was a bit uneven so I added a third coat to get the perfect finish. I surprisingly love this polish! It’s more of a subdued orange that I think is a great alternative to a nude nail polish. It also captures the character Cera quite well! The added sparkle from the glitter is a great touch.

IMG_0599 IMG_0601 IMG_0603The next polish is Ducky, a metallic lime green base with green, gold, and yellow glitters mixed in. The formula was great! It was a bit sheer so I needed three coats to achieve opacity, but Ducky is very buildable. This polish is perfect for Saint Patrick’s Day and for the spring season! It dries very quickly. I also think it’s just as cute as Ducky is in the movies!

IMG_0607 IMG_0611 IMG_0612Littlefoot is the next polish from the Land Before Time collection! It is a grey base with small white hexagonal glitter and various silver glitters. It has a good formula that is opaque in three coats. This grey leans a bit towards purple for me, which I loved in conjunction with the white and silver glitters! Littlefoot is a stunning and lively neutral polish! Add a pop to your normal grey manicure with this one.

IMG_0614 IMG_0616 IMG_0617Up next is Petrie, my favorite polish from the bunch! Petrie is a white based polish with black hexagons, bar glitters, diamonds, and green, gold, and holographic glitters sprinkled in. I layered two coats over a plain white polish. Petrie is just gorgeous! I love the formula, as I did not have to fish for any glitters, and I love the look of the multi-shaped black glitters. This polish is just as quirky and cute as the character Petrie!

IMG_0630 IMG_0631 IMG_0634Last but not least is Spike, a glitter top coat filled with green squares, gold and silver hexagons, gold flowers, and more! I layered one coat over China Glaze Agro for the look above. I was very impressed with Spike — the glitters came out so easily during application! Just one coat alone provided my nails with lots of sparkle! Spike also has a holographic shimmer to it that is a beautiful touch. This is such a fun and spunky top coat!

All in all, I love the Land Before Time collection from LynBDesigns! Not only do the polishes represent the characters well, but they are unique and wearable at the same time. I definitely recommend this collection if you are a fan of this movie franchise, or simply if you are looking for some great new polishes! You can purchase LynBDesigns on Etsy HERE. Full size bottles are $8.00.

Indie Spotlight: I Love Nail Polish

IMG_0132
The pretty polishes in their boxes!

Happy Thursday! Today I have a very exciting review of three polishes from the indie brand I Love Nail Polish. The first thing I noticed about I Love Nail Polish, is the fabulous presentation. They come in really cute boxes, and are very professionally made. I was already impressed before I even tried them out! Having such cute boxes makes me have more faith in the brand from the get go. The best part is, the polish lives up to the hype! Let me show you these gorgeous glitters!

IMG_0270 IMG_0272 IMG_0276

 

Up first is Fully Turqued, a clear glitter top coat. Fully Turqued is full of a variety of black and white glitters in all shapes and sizes, and turquoise square glitters. I layered two coats over Milani Cyberspace (see that polish HERE). Fully Turqued has a great formula — it was easy to apply and the glitters came right out of the bottle and onto the nail. I love the look I got while layering Fully Turqued over a holographic polish in a complimentary color! My first thought was to use a sky blue as the base, but the added sparkle added a “wow” factor for sure. I also love square glitter, so the pop of turquoise was my favorite part of this polish!

IMG_0242 IMG_0243 IMG_0244 IMG_0253

 

Up next is Once Upon a Starry Night. This polish is also a glitter top coat, and is filled with white, blue, and silver glitter. The highlight of this polish is the silver, holographic stars! I added in an extra photograph so you can see how the stars reflect a rainbow of colors in the light. Simply gorgeous! Plus, they were surprisingly easy to get out of the bottle! No fishing for stars here. I layered two coats of Once Upon a Starry Night over L’Oreal Greycian Goddess (see that polish HERE). At first the silver glitters blend in with the background, but they sparkle in the light! If you want more of a “nighttime” feel, I suggest layering Once Upon a Starry Night over a true black.

IMG_0293 IMG_0294 IMG_0296

 

Last but not least is my favorite polish from the bunch, All Gold Everything. This is a clear glitter top coat filled with gold glitters in all shapes and sizes. I have so many gold glitter polishes that I wasn’t too excited to try this one out, but All Gold Everything is stunning! I layered two coats over LASplash Blowfish Pink, and that was the perfect base color. Many thanks to my Facebook follower Roberta for suggesting a peach as a base! All Gold Everything has a fabulous formula, and I especially love the circle glitters! Overall, I find this manicure to be really fabulous and classy. I’ve even been wearing it for four days now! From now on this will be my go-to gold glitter.

All in all, I love these polishes from I Love Nail Polish! They all have great formulas, and the glitters were really easy to apply. You can shop for these polishes on Etsy HERE and follow on Facebook HERE. Full size bottles are $10 each.

P.S. You can always click on a photo to see it larger and in more detail!

Indie Spotlight: The Last of the Time Lords Collection from Lucky 13 Lacquer

Calling all Doctor Who fans! Today I have some awesome polishes to show you from the new collection by Lucky 13 Lacquer called The Last of the Time Lords. This collection is inspired by the revival series of Doctor Who, and you will see characters, episodes, and memorable quotes represented throughout the entire set. I have four of the thirteen polishes to show you. Let’s get started!

IMG_0161 IMG_0164 IMG_0160

First up is A 51st Century Guy, a clear glitter top coat. This polish is filled with small white squares, gunmetal grey hexagonal glitters, and red hearts. I layered two coats over OPI in If You Moust You Moust (see that polish HERE). While the overall formula was great, I had the hardest time getting the hearts out of the bottle and onto my nails. I did everything I could think of to get those hearts out, but they were stuck to the sides of the bottle. I was able to get out just three so I could show you what they look like! I think if you had the full size bottle, it would be easier to fish out the hearts. Besides that issue, however, A 51st Century Guy is a great polish and has a fast-drying formula. I thought layering this over a pink would give me a Valentine’s Day manicure. I love the finished product!

Note: Lucky 13 is aware of the difficulty with the hearts, so until lightweight hearts can be added to the new batch of polishes, the brand is including extra hearts that can be hand placed with each purchase!

IMG_0180 IMG_0184 IMG_0185

Up next is Fantastic! This is another clear glitter top coat, and is filled with tiny black hexagonal glitters, and medium gunmetal grey hexagons. Fantastic! has a good formula – no fishing for glitters with this one! I layered two coats over Zoya Julie for the look you see in the photos. My one gripe with Fantastic! is that it has a strong aroma, but otherwise it’s a great polish. I love the way it makes a pastel purple look edgy. Fantastic! would also liven up a plain black nail polish.

IMG_0197 IMG_0201 IMG_0202

Another polish from The Last of the Time Lords collection is Bowties Are Cool. This polish has a brown shimmer base, and is filled with tiny bronze squares, and red, brown, and caramel colored hexagonal glitters. I knew it would take at least three coats to be opaque on its own, so I layered two coats over Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow (see that polish HERE). I absolutely love the result! My fingers were sporting a golden yellow combo! Bowties Are Cool has a great formula, and the glitters come out of the bottle with ease. Just as A 51st Century Guy became a Valentine’s Day manicure, Bowties Are Cool is also extremely versatile! Your base color has the power to transform this polish, and you can get a different look every time!

IMG_0222 IMG_0217 IMG_0221

Last but not least is my favorite polish of the bunch, Are You My Mummy? This polish is a clear glitter top coat and is filled with tiny green hexagonal glitters, and orange, brown, and yellow hexagons as well in various sizes. I layered one coat over Illamasqua Rampage. I was absolutely thrilled with Are You My Mummy?! One coat provided great coverage, and the glitters applied very well. This is a great nail polish for the fall, especially when layered over a dark green!

All in all, The Last of the Time Lords collection is extremely versatile and is perfect for Doctor Who aficionados and nail polish lovers, too! This collection can be purchased on the Lucky 13 Lacquer website HERE. Full size bottles are $8 each and mini bottles are $4. Lucky 13 is also offering a special bonus — buy 7 or more polishes from this collection and you will get a bonus bottle! You can also like Lucky 13 Polish on Facebook HERE.

Indie Spotlight: The Hidden Valley Collection from A Rhyming Dictionary Polish

Today I am extremely excited to show you five amazing polishes from the indie brand A Rhyming Dictionary Polish. These polishes are from the soon-to-be-released collection called The Hidden Valley, which will be available very soon. I first tried A Rhyming Dictionary back in early December when I brought you the post highlighting Unc Nunkie (read that HERE). Now that I have tried a substantial amount of polishes from this brand, I can tell you that it is of the highest quality. Definitely be sure to check out the Etsy shop and pick yourself up a few of these! I will post the link at the end of this post. Let me show you some of The Hidden Valley collection!

 

A Rhyming Dictionary Polish – Scraps A Rhyming Dictionary Polish – Scraps First up is Scraps, an extremely unique polish in a purple jelly base. Scraps is full of black and white glitters in all shapes and sizes. There are hexagonal glitters, square glitters, and shards, too!  This polish also has a holo shimmer, so it truly sparkles. I used three coats alone, and while it was not opaque, I loved the look! If you would like an opaque look, I suggest you layer this over a purple or black polish. Moreover, Scraps has a great formula — lots of glitters come out upon application and they lay flat. The polish was a little hard to work with because of all the glitter, but when it dries it looks super cool. I applied two coats of top coat to even out the finish. Overall, I love Scraps! It is unlike any other polish I’ve tried before, and it reminds me of my undergrad’s school colors. I was staring at my nails a lot with this one!

A Rhyming Dictionary Polish – Collapsible Kite A Rhyming Dictionary Polish – Collapsible Kite

 

Up next is Collapsible Kite, a glitter top coat in a clear base. I layered two coats over Zoya GeiGei (which you will see very soon!). This polish has magenta, yellow, and orange glitters, and is a mix of hexagonal, square, and fine glitters. The formula was fantastic, and I didn’t have to fish for glitters. The glitter lay flat on the nail, too. I finished up with one coat of top coat. I just love the color combination of Collapsible Kite! I wore this as my New Year’s Eve manicure, and it matched my pink dress perfectly! The light pink base was an ideal choice, because none of the glitters got lost in the background, but it was still complimentary. A great combination, I think!

 

A Rhyming Dictionary Polish – Magic Muffins A Rhyming Dictionary Polish – Magic Muffins The next polish from The Hidden Valley collection is Magic Muffins! This purple polish has a holo shimmer throughout. I applied three coats for full opacity. It was a bit streaky at first, but evens out very well. I also love the gorgeous satin finish of the polish, so I did not apply top coat. Not only does this polish have a super cute name, but it is a complete manicure all in one or can be used for layering. In fact, I used this as the base for the next polish in the collection!

 

A Rhyming Dictionary Polish – Equinots A Rhyming Dictionary Polish – Equinots Here is Equinots, a glitter top coat in a clear base. I layered one coat over Magic Muffins to get the look in the photos. Equinots is full of pink hexagonal glitters, magenta square glitters, and royal purple hexagonal glitters. There is also a sprinkling of magenta grains. This went perfectly with Magic Muffins, and was a dream to apply! One coat brought out a lot of glitters, so I left it at that. I applied one coat of top coat to complete the look. The finished product looks like one gorgeous polish! The holo shimmer from Magic Muffins stands out and combines with the glitters of Equinots for a stunning look. This is just one way to use the polishes from this collection together, alone, or with other polishes! They are so versatile!

A Rhyming Dictionary Polish – Kite Island A Rhyming Dictionary Polish – Kite Island

 

Last but not least is Kite Island, a glitter top coat in a clear base. I layered two coats of Kite Island over Sinful Colors Mint Apple (see that polish HERE). Kite Island is a really fun polish! It has fine glitters in pink and green, hexagonal glitters in orange, blue, pink, and green, small green squares, and (my favorite!) large white squares. Just as with the other polishes from A Rhyming Dictionary, the glitters came out with ease and lay flat on the nail. I just love the mix of colors in Kite Island, and the white glitters are a surprising touch. With one coat of top coat my manicure was complete. I chose a seafoam green background so none of the glitters would blend into the base. Overall, it is a super fun manicure!

All in all, I love all of these polishes from The Hidden Valley collection. The best part is that there are even more polishes in this collection that I’m sure will be just as fabulous! This collection will be released very shortly, and I will announce on my Facebook page when they are available for purchase. For now you can shop for other polishes at the A Rhyming Dictionary Etsy shop HERE and follow on Facebook HERE.

Indie Spotlight: Different Dimension in Bazinga

I was extremely excited when I discovered that the indie brand Different Dimension sells a collection named after the TV show The Big Bang Theory. I am a huge fan of the show, and immediately added the collection to my wish list. I was even more excited when my mom bought the collection for me! Right before Christmas, I tried Bazinga. Let me show you this super fun polish!

DSC02721 DSC02724 DSC02726

 

Bazinga has a light yellow jelly base and is filled with yellow and red hexagonal glitters, and small red fine glitters. I layered two coats over SquareHue Champagne Toast to get the look in the photos. As with the other polishes I’ve tried from Different Dimension, Bazinga had a great formula. I wish the larger hexagonal glitters came out more often during application, but otherwise I love the polish. Bazinga looked really nice over a gold tone for a holiday look, but the yellow glitters did blend into the background a little bit. I think next time I will layer Bazinga over a different color to ensure that the glitters really stand out from the base. I can’t wait to try Bazinga again!

You can buy this polish on Etsy HERE for $8.50. You can also “like” Different Dimension on Facebook HERE.

Indie Spotlight: Cameo Colours Lacquer

Happy Wednesday! I hope those of you who celebrate Christmas had a great holiday yesterday. I am back to blogging now after a short break, and I have three polishes to show you from the indie brand Cameo Colours Lacquer. Two of these polishes are holiday themed, but they are both still available to buy, plus they can be worn any time of year. I love how versatile glitter top coats can be! Let me show you the beautiful polishes from Cameo Colours.

DSC02657 DSC02662 DSC02667

 

Up first is Stroke of Midnight, which I layered over Essie Play Date, a lilac purple color. Stroke of Midnight is a glitter topcoat in a clear base that is filled with silver bar glitter and circle glitters in pink, purple, and blue. I layered one coat over Play Date to get the look in the photos. Stroke of Midnight has a great formula. The glitters were easy to apply and were perfectly flat upon application. I love the manicure I got when I layered Stroke of Midnight over a purple color. It’s perfect for any time of year!!

DSC02685 DSC02681 DSC02683

 

Next up is Tangled Lights, which I layered over Julep Isla, a metallic white polish. For this manicure I went with more of a holiday feel. Tangled Lights is another glitter top coat filled with small hexagonal glitters in every color you can think of! The base is also full of holographic shimmer, which really makes the polish shine in the light. I applied two coats of Tangled Lights over Isla to get the look in the photos above. I love this manicure! Tangled Lights can be worn over another color for use throughout the year.

DSC02687 DSC02691 DSC02694

 

Last but not least is Kings and Queens from the Thirty Seconds to Mars Collection. This is an orange jelly base filled with holographic glitters. There is a holo shimmer throughout, plus small hexagons, and crescent moons! I was quite surprised when Kings and Queens was opaque in just two coats. This polish was a dream to apply, but I did have a hard time getting the moon glitters to come out of the bottle. Make sure to give yours a good shake so they will rise to the top of the polish! Kings and Queens is just gorgeous!

All in all, I really love these polishes from Cameo Colours Lacquer! I was very impressed with the quality of the formula, and I definitely recommend this brand. Make sure you stop by to purchase the holiday polishes before they sell out! You can shop on Etsy HERE. Full size bottles are $8 each. You can also visit the Cameo Colours Facebook page HERE.
