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!

Review: Liquid Glam Lacquer- PLUS RAFFLECOPTER GIVEAWAY!!!!

Hey there Ladies! I thought this past week was never going to end! Have you ever had one of those weeks where it seems like everything that could go wrong, does? I don't like to complain too often so when I do you know that it has been something that I have really let get to me! 

I don't know about you, but I love this time of year! I love watching the trees bloom and the flowers grow! This time of year is also the busy time of year for weddings!

Today I have some swatches for you from Liquid Glam Lacquer. This is from her newest collection released on May 1st, the Lets get Married Collection!!!! This collection is so fitting for this time of year and the polishes are all fitting for all year! I thoroughly enjoyed this collection... So let's dive in! 

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

Happily Ever After is a rosy but iridescent polish that shimmers and shines with gold, pink and purple. I layered it over China Glaze "In a Lily bit" from the City Flourish collection. 

This polish applied very smooth! what is swatched is 2 coats, as you see this glitter is very sparse but it gives the perfect amount of glitter to layer over practically any color! Stunning glitter topper! 

 

 

Tie the Knot is such a stunning polish! there are iridescent glitters, red glitters, small sheer hearts and black bows! I put this over a white polish by Sinful colors and for the ring finger I stamped using a Moyou London plate and a Pure Ice silver polish. 

The bows is what made me fall in love with this polish in the bottle. When I applied the polish the red glitters made me swoon!!!! The red glitters were so sparkly and beautiful! I did have to fish for the bows, however that is to be expected when they are mixed with the smaller glitters. I found that putting the bottle upside down for about 30 seconds assisted in getting them out. This polish is just beautiful! 

Platinum Ring is a beautiful silver polish with micro silver glitters. I applied it with no undies, and topped with a top coat. 

This polish is beautiful! I did find that it was a bit streaky during application, however when I applied top coat it seemed to smooth it all out and the streaks mostly disappeared. Without topper it dried to a slight texture finish with a very pretty satin finish. 

The Reception is a beautiful beige crelly polish with a variety of colored glitter through-out. No undies in the swatch and about 3 coats gives an opaque finish with NVL. 

I liked this polish so well that after I was finished swatching I applied to both hands and wore this beauty to work! This polish is work appropriate for any office job! I applied a Matte Top coat which really helps show the different color glitters. This polish is going to be a favorite for me and will definitely be a staple to my collection! :)

 The Bouquet is a pale pink crelly polish with bright pink hex glitters and iridescent hexes throughout. Applied beautifully in 3 coats with little fishing for the larger glitters. I stamped on the ring finger with a MoYou London stamping plate and a Sally Hansen insta-dry polish. 

This polish is gorgeous! It is so beautiful and dainty and has the right about of color and sparkle! I loved the application! Everything about this polish is girly, fun, flirty, and screams princess! I think this polish would be great for a wedding or a date night! 

 

These polishes by Liquid Glam Lacquer were beautiful! All polishes are a BIG 5 FREE and are hand blended!

Along with polishes she also makes other products for hands and skin which can be found HERE. I was lucky enough to receive a cuticle oil (which will be featured in a cuticle care blog coming soon) which was scented amazingly like peach!

Review: Super Nails

Hello again!!! I hope you have all been having a wonderful week! I'm finally starting to get back to my healthy self! My full time job has been insane and have had tons of things to catch up on! 

The weather where I am seems to have turned from "spring" to "summer" all of a sudden and we have bees and birds flying everywhere! How is the weather where you are? 

I was sent these three polishes by Super Nails for review. These three polishes are all glitterbomb toppers packed with unique and beautiful glitters. 

I tried to do something a bit different in this review and add some tiny and simple elements of nail art to make them easy to re-create and flattering for anyone while complimenting the name if the polish! 

*********

The first polish is named after an evil Character from one of my FAVORITE childhood movies- The Little Mermaid!!!! 

Ursula is a glitter packed topper that is pictured with two coats. I cannot lie, the application was a bit tough, I had to fish for the larger round glitters and I ended up with extra tiny glitters, but this polish is so unique I would deal with the fishing again!!! 

Next up is Cruella which is a glitterbomb of shards!!! This polish is so true to Cruella Deville that I had to put over a half white half black mani to show all of the colors on one nail! 

Application is flawless and I LOVE how this polish dries to such a shiny finish with no top coat!!! For sake of this review I did use a top coat to seal in my pretties and make them shiny!!! 

The last polish is Tinkerbell which is multi-faceted green sparkly beauty!!! I placed the glitter over Essie's Mint Candy Apple which has more of a blue quality to show the true green of the polish and paired it with a bellow accent nail to compliment Tink's yellow hair! 

The application of this polish went on smoothly, similar to Cruella and I did not have to fish or dab for glitters! 

 

Overall I was pleased with the polish application, glitter pay off, and beauty! 

I am so happy that Super Nails allowed me to review these products to share with you and truly feel that these polishes have a good quality! 

I received my shipment very quick and customer service is wonderful!

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! 

Macro of bottle to left and to the right 2 coats over China Glaze Make an Entrance. 

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! 

Macro of bottle to left and to the right 2 coats over Sinful Colors Endless Blue

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!

Favorite Spring Nail Polishes

How are you all doing! Happy Spring! I hope you are all doing well! I want to say that Spring is one of my favorite times of year! I love the birds and the blooms. It's such a happy time when everything comes back to life, and probably one of my favorite Nail Polish Seasons! :D What's yours? 

I have been so busy with work that I haven't been able to make a post so.... 

Buckle up! It's been a long time since I have posted a blog post and it's going to be a rather long one!!!! Good news is that I will be posting more often and I have some awesome goodies coming to share with you all! As well as these polishes which you can probably find me wearing at any point in time this spring! 

First on the list is OPI's Burst My Bubble! This polish is the perfect sheer pale pink that actually leans to an off white! Beautiful formula, very chic and very elegant! Heads up ladies, this will have a VNL!

China Glaze Sweet Hook. This polish has a good formula, no streaks or bald spots. A pale lavender with a drop or two of pink, very complimentary and very spring appropriate! 

Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Lacey Lilac!!! This color is like Easter on your nails!!!! It's probably my favorite purple of all time!!! The formula is a bit thick, I usually add a few drops of thinner and I'm good! This is one of the new polishes I DO have a backup for!!! 

OPI's You're such a Budapest! This color is just perfect! 2-3 thin coats and you're good to go! It's almost a periwinkle purple (if there is such a thing!) It is going to be a great toe color this spring!

Zoya's Pixie Dust in Stevie! I just could not get my camera to capture the beauty! I must have taken 30 pictures of this one bottle of polish! It's so sparkly and so stunning on the nail! It's a purple with purple and silver glitters and it looks like me like there are slightly larger silver glitters mixed throughout! It's an absolute dream to apply! 2 thin coats and you're done! It's an amazing polish and is a must have for any spring collection!!!!

Another FAVE is Zoya's Perrie! This color is a purple  pink. It's such a beautiful color and would even work going into spring! It's super easy to apply, 2 coats with even application, no streaks, no bald spots. This color looks fabulous on your toes too!! 

This is probably going to be my go to color this spring! China Glaze Secret Peri-winkle! I cannot say enough good things about this color! It's smooth, creamy, and just makes me so happy. It's a perfect periwinkle color with a creme finish, perfect application again!

 The next polish Sinful Colors Cinderella. Ladies.... This color truly reminds me of being a little girl! The formula is not great! It's a very sheer polish so you must layer or put over white if you want it truly opaque. This color also makes other blue polishes look truly ethereal! It reminds me of all things pretty... Glass slippers, fairy wings, sparkling rhinestones... You get the point! :-) This polish is a showstopper and only around $2.00! 

OPI Can't find my Chzecbook is an amazing creamy dreamy teal color! The formula is somewhat thin, but for the color I can total deal! The color is amazing and reminds me of a Robin's egg blue! It would be stunning with a gold speckle polish over top or even a silver! This color is one that I am truly excited that I invested in! 

Zoya Kristen... A beautiful powder puff creme blue... It's perfect for the rainy spring days, and the beautiful spring nights! Perfect application, would look great on any skin tone!

 

Essie Mint Candy Apple has a cult following! This color has been seen on fingers and toes a plenty! Formula? Eh- Well... The formula leaves a lot to be desired. I can deal with the formula as the color is a mint that leans to a blue. It's almost like a mint blue white on your nails (I'm not the most descriptive). If you have tried mints with no success I would recommend picking this color up! 
***Another suggestion would be Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Mint Sorbet (around 3.00 at the drugstore). 

OPI Garganuant Green Grape... This color is a true pastel green with a few drops of yellow thrown in. It's a little on the sheer side so probably 3-4 coats to be opaque (or you can make a jelly sammich).

OPI Liquid Sand in Pussy Galore (Named after the famous bond girl)... This color is one that I heard so much about last year and did not know what the all the hype was until I tried it! OMG! It sparkles in the sun like shimmers on your nails! It's a pale pink with a magenta glass fleck (I wish I could have captured!) It is stunning, simple, elegant, classic! In love! <3

Sinful Colors Soul Mate is a beautiful Coral color. It has a wonderful application, wonderful creme finish and perfect in 2 coats. You can find this color in drugstores for around $2.00!!

Orly Rage is the most perfect Rose gold polish to ever live in IMO. The color is very metallic, very true rose gold. Would go great with any other spring color as an accent nail, and you could honestly get away with one coat if you were in a hurry! I put 2 coats on the nail wheel and top top coat here. 

OPI you glitter be good to me. This color is perfect over pink or purple. I love to layer it in between OPI Don't Burst my Bubble as Jelly, or use it as an accent nail. If you wanted to be super sparkly and glam you could always make it opaque in 3 coats (2 shown above). 

Orly Shine on Crazy Diamond. I'm not going to lie... I bought this polish for the name (total Pink Floyd Fan), however, I am soooo happy that I did! I love this micro holo polish even more than I love China Glaze's Fairy Dust! This polish is an amazing top coat over any polish and adds that extra bit of sparkle to drab polishes or when you need a pick me up!

China Glaze Don't Make a Spectacle. This polish, OMG,... This polish! It is so dainty and so perfect. It's a topper for sure with iridescent glitter. I love this polish over mint green and pink. It's simply beautiful!!!!

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

I know this was a super long post, but you cannot say that I did not warn you! I hope that you enjoyed looking at the polishes as much as I enjoy wearing them! Let me know if you own any of the above mentioned polishes, love them, hate them, want them? 

Let us know down below what your favorite Spring polishes are!!!! 

XOXO-
