Swatches: My-Stash- I'm Baroque & Jibber Jabber

Happy Mani Monday ladies!!!! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I spent the weekend riding around the Bluegrass state and watching some tele with the Hubbs. We took a 300 mile ride in a huge circle and got to go through a few cities I've never been though. :-) It was nice to get out of the house!!! :-) We stopped a Flea Market and I found this darling Mustache ring which I will use with  following My-Stash swatches! 

************************
Today I have some swatches for My-Stash Lacquer! You know how much I love Danielle and her beautiful creations!!! 

First up is Jibber Jabber! This is a glitter packed polish with white rectangles, black round glitter, blue, yellow, purple and holographic hexes, I'm sure there's something I'm missing in there!!! 

Application is flawless, as standard with her polishes! I paired this polish overtop a pink and blue gradient! 


The next polish is probably my favorite! In fact I will be ordering a full size bottle for fall!!!!! It's too stunning to not have a full size!!!! It has a blue shimmer that is just so dreamy and reminds me of fairies, or gypsies! It's going to be the PERFECT fall shade!!!!!!!!! My pictures could not capture this polish! TRUST ME, you need it in your life!!!!! 

I'm Baroque is a gorgeous glitter combo with black, pink coppery mini glitters, and blue and what appears to be orange irridescent flakies! OMG!!!!!!! This polish looks like a galaxy in your nail!!!! 

Application was a little thick, but I can totally deal with it and has NO problems with applying!!! This is a must have polish!!! At $6.25 a bottle, this beauty is a steal!!!!! 



 A huge thank you to Danielle with My-Stash Lacquer for sending me these beauties to swatch!!! 

All of her polishes are gorgeous! They have a beautiful application and apply flawlessly! Her polishes are true beauties! I would definitely recommend getting your hands on them! Her polishes are $6.25 with very reasonable shipping!!!!

Review: Shimmer Polish

Good evening beauties! I hope you are all doing well and have had a beautiful week! :) I have been so busy and so unmotivated as of late! I am blaming it on this HOT Kentucky weather! :D 

Today I have a very large post for you so I am going to get started! It's so large and so full of beautiful bottle shots that I decided to break it down into 2 reviews of 6 as I have a total of 12 beautiful glitter bombs to share with you! 

I have been drooling over Shimmer Polish for quite some time!!!!  I was fortunate to receive these polishes from Cindy at Shimmer Polish. I have 6 beauties in this swatchfest which are all named after her family and friends! 

********************************
The first polish is Celine. She applies like a beauty! Celine is a red glitter bomb in a red jelly base with gold holographic sparkles! 

This polish surprised me! When I put it on my nails I was INSTANTLY in love! I applied 3 even coats and 1 coat of Seche Vite as a topper! 





The next beautiful polish is one of my favorites! Cleo is a beautiful fuchsia jelly with purple, pink and teal glitters. It almost seems to have somewhat of a duo-chrome finish to it! 

This polish has to be my second favorite out of the lot! It's so beautiful and sparkly! I am truly in love with this polish! I applied 3 even coats and 1 coat of Seche Vite. 






Julie is a true glitter bomb and a Birthday Party in a bottle! There is a Rainbow mix of glitters that together would look great paired with any other polish or on it's own! 

This Polish is one that will not collect dust in my collection! I  could see wearing this polish on a girls night out, to a birthday party, or even to a Mardi Gras party!!! For the pictures I applied 3 coats of polish and one coat of Seche Vite. 







Then we have Sarah!!!! She is a teal blue/green glitter bomb with purple and it looks like silver glitter mix! 

Sarah is probably my #1 FAVORITE polish in this round! She is TRULY stunning and mermaid like! I cannot say enough good things! This polish applied evenly in 3 coats, and I applied 1 coat of Seche Vite. 





Vicki is a beautiful pink and silver polish topper. 

This polish is so dainty! I applied two even coats smoothly over OPI "I Theodora you". 

This from Shimmer Polish's description: 
Vicki is a wonderful mother and survivor of breast cancer, this polish is made to encourage and support the fight against this disease!

*Donations will be made to support Breast Cancer Research!








Nichole, Nichole, Nichole! This polish is a gorgeous patriotic blend of silver, blue, and red glitters! 

This polish is near and dear to my heart! My husband and I were married on the 4th of July, so this polish will be one that I will be breaking out for years to come! I was in LOVE with this polish!!!!! I applied 1 even coat over OPI "Dutch Tulips" (red) and Morgan Taylor "Making Waves" (blue). I topped off the look with one coat of Seche Vite. 










I know this was a long post! I tried to make this post both as informative and short as possible to give you all the details and honest review as well as lots of swatch pictures! 

I am VERY impressed with the quality of these glitter polishes! They were VERY easy to apply, very unique to my collection, and super shimmer the way glitter polishes should be! 

Customer service is amazing! Cindy communicated when my package was on its way and shipping was extremely quick! 

These polishes retail for $12.00. Considering how unique these glitters are, I feel her polishes are priced very well! I would recommend her polishes to any of my friends or family! Infact, I used one of her polishes (coming up in my next Shimmer review) on my Niece's best friend of her prom! It was truly beautiful!

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: Duh- Nail polish

Good Morning beauties! I hope you all had a productive beginning of the week! It seems as if lately I'm struggling to get anything done! I think we have all been there though! :-) I have been quite busy working on swatches, and coming up with more ideas for blog posts! Do you have any good ideas for what you would like to see? 

The weather in Kentucky has been so humid and hot! Yesterday the temperature was about 90 (yes, in MAY) with what I would have to guess has to be 100% humidity! We're supposed to have 60 degree weather next week, and I am looking forward to that indefinitely! 
 **********************

It was great catching up with you all, but without further delay we have nail polishes by Duh- Nail Polish. I have to say how impressed I am with these two polishes! The colors are just beautiful! I paired each design with a simple stamp, which was complementary to each polish and topped with a 1 coat of Seche Vite Fast Dry top coat. 
*********************

The first polish is Bring me Spring Flowers which is a beautiful coral with a slight neon feel. This polish also includes speckles of blue, yellow, pink, white, teal, and brighter pink (I'm sure there are colors I'm missing here). Application was very nice with 2 even coats and no streaking, clumping, or balding. 

The color of this polish is just beautiful! Honestly it made my camera freak out a bit! The color pictured in the bottle is more true to color and shows that true coral apperance. I tried changing up the settings on my camera and took a milliion shots to get the true coral to come out on the nail and my camera was having no part of it! :-( I will say again though, how much I love this polish! I know this will be a winner for me in the summer months!




The other polish I have is Time for Flip Flops which is a seafoam blue/green polish with white speckles and gorgeous blue hexes! Application was flawless and applied evenly in 2 coats.

This polish is SOOO beautiful!!!! It's a blue/green dream! I fell in love with this swatch so much that I didn't want to remove it and wanted to instantly paint the other hands to match, however I had more swatches to do (I will be wearing this mani again this month). this is another that I will be wearing again all summer!!!!!






As you can see I did get a bit carried away with swatch pics! However I loved these polishes SOOOOO much that I wanted to show in a million angles (hehe). 

I am so impressed with Duh-Nail Polish and am so lucky to have had the opportunity to swatch their beautiful polishes! I am definitely interested in purchasing additional polishes in the future! 

Their polishes retail for $8.00 which in my opion is a GREAT value at such a great quality! I would recommend these polishes to anyone! If you are interested in purchasing these polishes take a look at the ways to find Duh-Nail Polish to purchase! 


I hope you all enjoyed this review and I hope you check out this indie brand! I know you will not be disappointed! 

XOXO
