Candy Lacquer: Fall 2012 Collection

Yay! I’m back! I’ve just been itching to do a post all week but as you may have noticed, the blog was down . :( We got it all sorted out though and I’m so excited to do a new post! Today I’ve got some Candy Lacquer’s that I believe were released for Fall 2012 because they were new ones in the shop when I got them a few weeks ago. Candy Lacquer is quickly becoming one of my favorite indie brands. I pretty much swoon over every polish that’s released!

“Autumn Leaves” is a shredded red and yellow glitter with little microshimmer waves running through it. I think this is as close to getting real leaves on your nails as you will ever get. It just screams fall. This is one coat over Deborah Lippmann “From Rags to Riches.”

NCLA: The Glitz Set

Today I have NCLA’s “The Glitz Set” to show you guys!

“High Above The City Lights” is a shredded pink metallic glitter. Ok, I am freaking obsessed with this. I can see myself wearing this a lot. There isn’t much to say except that I LOVE this. This is one magical coat over NCLA “Like… Totally Valley Girl”.

Deborah Lippmann: She’s Always A Woman Mini Trio

Today I’ve got Deborah Lippmann’s mini trio called “She’s Always A Woman”. Another swoon-worthy set of polishes! :)

First up is “My Prerogative” a deep, lush royal blue creme. I wouldn’t call this unique (China Glaze “First Mate” looks pretty similar) but as usual the formula can’t be beat. I’m a sucker for polishes with cool/witty/funny/awesome names and this one reminds me of Britney Spears and I’m like, a major fan-girl of hers (I know that Bobbi Brown sang the song originally but I love my Brit!) This is 2 coats.

Terrestrial Nails: Beeezz! & Fuchsia Garden

Today I have 2 pretty polishes from Terrestrial Nails! I won these beauties from Newsha, the creator behind Terrestrial Nails, in a contest she held on Instagram along with some of her artwork! She is an amazing artist and such a sweetheart! Go follow her on Instagram (@newieee) for all kinds of good stuff! :)

 

“Beeezz!” is a bright sunshine yellow crelly (creme/jelly hybrid) with little black specks of glitter throughout. Such an excellent formula for a yellow! I think the fact that it’s a crelly helps with that. This would be so fun to wear in the summer. 3 coats.

Deborah Lippmann: The Millionaire’s Holiday Trio

Today I’ve got an awesome trio of Deborah Lippmann polishes for the Holiday season that are exclusive to Barney’s!

“Easy Money” has a Christmas tree green base with an abundance of obvious gold shimmer. Someone asked me if this was close in color to Butter London “Jack The Lad”, and it ‘s not at all. The base in EM is more olivey and the shimmer is completely different. This is a perfect Christmas color, I can imagine it with a pretty red glitter over the top. ♥ This is 2 coats.

Pretty & Polished: Holiday 2012 Collection

Happy hump day y’all! Ok, I hate when people say that but I am so glad it’s half way through the week! Today I’ve got all but one of the polishes from the 2012 Holiday Collection by Pretty & Polished!

“Everybody Loves Penguin” has black and white glitter in a creamy white base. I love the over-sized black hex glitter in this! They weren’t the easiest to get out though. I ended up leaving it upside down for a couple minutes which made it easier. The base was pretty sheer so I layered 2 coats over Sally Hansen “Ivory Skull”.
