Square Hue- 9/14 Sydney

Good Morning Beauties! I hope you all have had a wonderfully relaxing weekend! Yesterday we spent the day watching Netflix and making some casserole! Needless to say it was a pretty relaxing day which gave me time to catch up on my swatches! :D Today will be a bit more eventful as we will be heading to the nearest city to visit the Apple store! I started having issues with my battery on my phone so we called tech support and they confirmed that I have a bad battery! :( It will be good to get out of the house and fiddle around! I also plan on stopping at Starbucks to take advantage of the B1G1 free on the fall drinks! :D 

Now that I've chatted your head off, let''s get to the real reason you came here! I have for you the 9.14 Sydney Collection from Square Hue. I was so excited for this collection and it was a pleasant surprise when I got it in the mail!!!! The polishes are beautiful and truly represent everything that is fall! As always, the quality was amazing and up there with any other high end. So far out of the 6 polishes I have received none of them were hit or miss! 

Let's get started! 

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

Square Hue is a monthly subscription box that is just $14.99 a month, plus shipping and handling. What I love about this box is you get three FULL SIZED polishes with plenty of polish to do manicures again and again!

I did not do this in my last review, but I want to talk about this packaging! I am in love with the way these pretties come packaged! It comes with some worms and an insert that is specifically cut for their polishes! Let's not get me started on the unique square bottles! *gasp*

      

The first polish up is Oxford Street which is a liquid gold Micro shimmer that for some reason appears a bit more orange in this photo. It is most definitely a true yellow gold! 

Application wise this polish applied flawlessly, it needed  coats to be opaque and there were no brush strokes! I think this color is going to be perfect for the fall time as it reminds me of crisp leaves! 

Next up is Crown Street which is a beautiful rust orange with micro shimmer. I am not typically into oranges but this color has a true grit to it. It has this gold running through it that is just perfect! 

This polish was also a two coater with perfect application and consistency. This polish will also be one that will be perfect for fall as it reminds of a cheery and bright rustic pumpkin!

I saved the best for last! King Street is a beautiful brown that looks like pure chocolate on your nails! When I started swatching this color I could not take it off!!!! I actually had someone say they just "want to lick my nails"! (I know, totally random). But outdoors in natural light the red undertones really comes out making this look like Dr. Pepper on the nail! It's a MUST have for fall, it's TRULY stunning and just gorgeous! 

This polish seemed to have a consistency of a crelly but applied like a creme. There is 

NO shimmer in this polish and it is a straight creme polish. It applied flawlessly in 2 coats. I've already said my part about how much I love this polish! But let me also tell you, it stamps like a champ! 

My last picture I decided again this month to marry all of the polishes together to do a look with all three! I had a few different looks in mind but this one is the one I chose. Overall I really like how this look came out! I did a gradient with Oxford Street & Crown Street and then stamped over the with a design from the Pueen Buffet plates with King Street. I think it looks so rustic and vintage! What do you think?

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: My-Stash Lacquer Califonia Collection

This week has been the longest week in history! Can you believe it is only Wednesday?! I am desperately awaiting Friday to sit at home with my husband and do much of nothing, as we have no plans this weekend! 

Today I'm coming at you with another My-Stash Lacquer review. Danielle was so sweet to send me two of my favorite polishes from her new California Collection! I have to today to review '805 Jive' and 'Sea Breeze'. 

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

Brushes

Recently Danielle has decided to change her brushes from skinny round brushes to wider flat brushes. I was so excited to be able to try her new brushes! I have to say that the new brushes are fabulous!!! The brushes allow for a fabulous flawless application that disburses an even amount across the nail! 

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

 Polishes

The first of the polishes that I have to review for you is '805 Jive'. It was opaque in two even coat and dried to a glossy finish. On my middle finger I have applied one coat of OPI's Crown Me Already and on my ring finger I used a white base with a black stamp from Fab Ur Nails Fun plate. I applied 1 coat of Seche Vite to top off the look.

This polish is truly beautiful! It has a silver shimmer throughout and it just perfect, feminine and dainty! This polish would be perfect for work, date, or just plain all the time! This is for sure one that I will not be removing from my collection!

The Next polish that I have is 'Sea Breeze'. This polish was still a bit sheer with two even coats and could probably use three. This polish also dried to a glossy finish as the first one did. On my middle finger I applied China Glaze's I'm not Lion with another Sephora by OPI chunky silver and gold glitter. On my ring finger I have again a white base with a stamp from the Fab Ur Nails fun plate. 

This blue polish has a shimmer gold reflect which is breathtaking! It reminds me of looking at the water with the sun high! You get that same golden shimmer that you would get from the sun shining on the sea! This polish is also feminine and dainty! I see every age group adoring this polish when it is on their hands or toes! I am excited to put this polish on my toes!

I know you have all heard be say it before, but it's so true that I will say it again- My-Stash polishes are a must have! With the quality and beauty of her polishes, they are a STEAL at $6.25 a bottle!

You can find her polishes HERE for purchase!

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!
