Review: Honey Buttons Nail Polish

It has been while! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! I have been so busy with work that I haven't had much time for my nails! I've also been in a rut lately! I don't know about you but something about the humidity and heat gives me little motivation for polishing and art :-(! I hope to start creating more beautiful manicures for you very soon! 

For now I have these gorgeous custom polishes from Honey Buttons Nail Polish!!! I found her polishes when I was searching google for "Dr Who Nail Art". I found a post made by Fierce Makeup and Nails while at lunch with some friends and fell in LOVE with the Dr. Who polishes she created for her and wanted my very own rendition of these polishes! I only wanted "The Doctor" (David Tenant will always be the only doctor IMHO)! I racked my brain trying to think of something else "nerdy" for my inner nerd! I decided I wanted to do a Battlestar Galactica polish and I chose Starbuck because let's be honest, She is AMAZING! Now that I have rambled I will tell you a little about these polishes! 

**********************

The first polish I've named is "THE DOCTOR". I asked for a crelly blue formula with Blue, pink and silver holographic sparkles. The formula of the polish was so smooth to apply! The color is so squishy! I applied 2 coats for the mani below with 1 coat of Seche Vite. 

This color is just... OMG!!!!! This polish is one that I will use for special events for fear that recreation may be nearly impossible (though I'm sure with as awesome as she is she could recreate with her eyes closed). This polish is just AMAZING! 








Next we have what I have named "Rose Tyler" I asked her for a pink crelly with irridesent blue flakies, purple holographic hexes as well as silver and gold hexes. Application was so easy and wonderful! I applied 2 even coats with 1 coat of Seche Vite for this glass like finish! 

I wore this for a week for previously swatching it and received SOOO many compliments! It's a very true beautiful pink! When I think of Rose I think she is somewhat edgy with a bit of classic elegance so I wanted this polish to really portray the essence of her! I am in love with the result! :D 









My third and final polish is "Starbuck". I asked for a blue-grey polish with small silver holographic glitter, medium sized silver and gold glitter, iridescent tiny glitter, and silver holo circles. I applied 2 even coats with very easy application. Because of the iridescent glitters this one was a bit thicker than the others, but till applied smoothly! Topped off with 2 coats of Seche Vite! 

This polish surprised me soooo much!!!! I was expecting a slate grey color with a drop of blue, turns out that I REALLY love the way this blue turned out! I could see Starbuck wearing this polish or at least out outfit that matches it! :D 








Her polishes are custom made! You can choose to tell her what you have in mind or let her create the magic for you! She takes great pride in her polishes as well as her packaging. My polishes came safely wrapped in bubble wrap, wrapped in tissue paper with her label atop. 

I was able to chose my colors, glitters and labels for the bottles. She also can add more flare by adding bows, ribbons, charms, ect for additional amounts. 

I have to say one thing for certain, I LOVE Honey Buttons Nail Polish! She makes custom polishes at an awesome price! customer service is amazing! Turn around time is wonderful! 

How to order: 
(Follow the instructions on the information section)

I purchased 2 of the three polishes with my own money. 

I hope you enjoyed these polishes just as much as I did!!! :-) I hope you check her out!!!!

Review: MDJ Creations

Hello Beauties! I hope you are all doing well and I hope that you all are doing well! I have spent the entire week sick! It's been a long week and have done much of nothing but lay on the couch, watch tv, eat snacks, and watch a few movies. I suppose we all need weekends like this! 

On to what really brought you here... 

These polishes by MDJ Creations are STUNNING!!!!! All of these polishes were truly beautiful and an absolute delight, including the fact that Melissa, the owner, is such a dear to work with!

When I first looked at these polishes I didn't think there was anything special about them, BOY was I WRONG! They all are so unique and truly were amazing and I cannot wait to share them with you, so here it goes! 

 ***************************************************************
The first polish up is "Comet Chaser" from her Outer Space Collection. This is a Jelly based polish packed with glitters. I can pick out black, orange, and gold squares with micro holo hexes, larger black hexes, I'm sure there are some that I am missing! No undies in the pic below!

This is one of my favorites from all of them that I tried, mainly because I am in love with jelly sandwiches and this a jelly sandwich in a bottle! It is so squishy and beautiful!!!! you could wear this polish all year long, for any season. There was no "fishing" necessary and it applied effortlessly and so smoothly with a glassy finish! I would recommend this polish to anyone! 

This Polish is being Clearanced, PLEASE RUSH over if you want this polish!!!!


The second polish is a glitter topper named "Something to Celebrate" which is just that! This polish is so shiny, bright, reflective and cheery! It would be beautiful over ANY color! For my review I have placed this polish over China Glaze's "Make an Entrance". 

I can imagine wearing this polish for a birthday party, girls night out, New Year's Eve, Fourth of July, or just to feel pretty (because we all need a little inspiration at times).  It almost has a fairy tale quality to it! It was so easy to apply, pictured below has 2 thin coats!

Next up I have a polish from her Gemstone Collection,  "Black Opal" which is a topper as well. It has holographic circles, black hexes and squares, silver holo hexes and squares along with very fine holographic bar hexes and iridescent flakies. I paired this polish with China Glaze "That's Shore Bright".

I didn't think that I would love this polish as much as I do! It's beautiful!!!! From far away it has that classic speckled appearance until your hand turns a certain way and the holo "Opalesque" catches your eye! I wore this polish and every time the light hit a certain way someone would say, "OHHHH, WHAT are you wearing on your nails?!"

"The King's Bride" is such a delicate, beautiful polish! It has a variety of holographic glitters with bars, hexes, and iridescent flakies. I decided to show how delicate it is and do a gradient effect over Sinful Colors "Endless Blue", I used only one coat.

The Next time I try this polish I will be placing it over a white or a silver polish! This application was also great! I did not have to fish for glitter, it was so easy to place on the nail and spread out so smoothly! This would be perfect for anytime of year and would add a delicate touch to any mani!

The last polish is another one of my favorites. "Earth Bound" from her Kingdom Collection is a gorgeous holographic with multicolor glitters with various sizes. I used no undies, just 2 coats of this polish! 

This polish!!!!!! I want to just stop right there! Application was so smooth and was opaque in 2 coats. I did not recognize the holo in until I was in full sun or the right indoor lighting and the holo is sooo gorgeous! I need 2-3 backups of this bottle and will be purchasing a fullsize! I never want to be without this polish!

I am so impressed with these polishes! They were all so very gorgeous with very smooth application, no fishing. I would definitely recommend these polishes to anyone who is looking for unique, beautiful and special polishes and am honored that I was sent these polishes for review! I would recommend her polishes to anyone!

Mani Monday- Marshmallow Jelly Sandwich

Happy Mani Monday! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! The hubby and I went out to eat on Saturday and then to visit with my family for a bit. Sunday was a little less eventful with lots of Dr. Who, the new Captain America movie and grocery shopping! :-) 

I'm waiting on nail mail so I didn't want to do a mani that takes a lot of time so I opted for this jelly sandwich instead. It's very classy and subtle! I hope you like it! :-) 

For this look I used 3 coats of OPI's Don't Burst my Bubble, for the ring finger I put on one coat, then one coat of Nicole by OPI's confetti fun and tipped off with 2 more coats of Don't Burst My Bubble. :-)
