Bettina Vintage Jean

Hello Babes! I have a late quick post for you today as I am feeling very bad right now. I woke up yesterday morning with the sorest throat ever, then as the day went on I started to get body aches and then headaches... So I took a break from packing to share a lovely Bettina with you! Vintage Jean is from the Jeans Collection (which I still haven't swatched, I know bad me) and its the color of light blue jeans, I actually have a pair of jeans similar to this color. Comparison wise I would say its a dark sky blue, just to kind of explain to you what it looks like. I used 2 coats for the swatches below with a coat of INM OTD as my tc.

Do you like Vintage Jean? I love this blue, its the perfect blue to wear on its own without adding anything to it. Thanks for stopping by :o)

Ozotic 528

Good Morning Babes! Today I have a one of my biggest lemmings to share with you, Ozotic 528! 528 has a clear base packed with green, pink, purple, and blue glitter. This is absolutely amazing, just tons of fun in a bottle! This beauty was a surprise that I got in my box when I ordered aEngland Lady of the Lake from Leah Ann over at Llarowe! I literally screamed when I opened up the box because 528 (along with 532) are the 2 Ozotics that I have just been drooling over! If you aren't familiar with Llarowe she's a US stockist of hard to get and international brands (aEngland, Ozotic/Picture Polish, Glitter Gal, Hits, Ludurana, and now Lynnderella). Don't forget to follow her on Twitter and FB to stay up to date on what she has going on. Ok, for the swatches below I used 1 coat of OPI Black Onyx (seriously opaque in 1 freaking coat!!!), 1 coat of 528, and no tc.

What do you think of the lovely 528? I'm going to try layering it over some of the other colors that are packed in here to see what it looks like and what colors really pop. I wonder what it would look like over pink or purple... Hmmm I can't wait to try those combo's out! IRL this looks 20x better, I promise its nothing short of amazing! Thanks for stopping by to let me share with you and enjoy your Sunday :o)

Glitter Gal Light as a Feather

Good Morning Babes. Today I have Glitter Gal's Light as a Feather. LAAF is a is another beauty that I picked up from the lovely Katie at Harlow & Co.. This beauty is a lovely light grey linear holo with a very soft but also very noticeable holographic effect. I LOVE THIS POLISH! Did I mention that I love it? Well I do and its actually my favorite holo that I own out of Nfu Oh 61 & 63, Lizard Belly and Lady of the Lake! Its that amazing in my opinion. I think what makes it so amazing is that its so delicate but still obviously a holo. For the swatches below I used 2 thin coats and no tc. The formula is nothing short of amazing! Light As A Feather is the perfect name, so fitting. Enough of my babbling, onto the yumminess...

Don't you just love LAAF? I was a little worried that it wouldn't go well with my skin tone but I fell in love from the very first swipe of the brush! You can see the holo effect indoors just as well as you can see them outdoors, which is what I love about GG holo's. I literally screamed when I got the bottle and saw how little it is, but its totally worth the $14. The holo effect is a little stronger IRL but only by a little bit. Even though its not as strong as the other GG's its still very noticeable that its a holo. Thanks for stopping by to let me share with you.

Fierce Friday: Glitter Gal Lizard Belly

Good Morning Babes and Happy Friday! Its the return of Fierce Friday's, its been a while since I've done it but today's post definitely fits in the fierce category. Today I have a long time lemming of mine that I finally was able to purchase from Katie at Harlow & Co.  (who also carries Models Own, Picture Polish/Ozotic, Nubar, Glitter Gal, Pop Beauty, Scotch Naturals, and Spa Therapy Works) in October! Katie has the best customer service ever, and I get orders from her quicker than orders I place right here in the US! Lizard Belly is a deep forest green linear holographic polish that is nothing short of amazing! For the swatches below I used 1 coat of Bettina Onix as my base and 2 coats of LB with no tc. Application was amazing and the formula was perfection. Unlike other holo's like Nfu Oh, you can wear a regular base coat and tc doesn't take away from or diminish the holo.

What do you think of LB? I know its been swatched all over the blogosphere but I haven't swatched it yet so here it is again lol! Totally lived up to my expectations, looks lovely with my skin tone, and its actually 10x better in person that the pictures show. Thanks for stopping by to let me share with you :o)

Nfu Oh #52

Good Afternoon Babes! Today I'm finally going to share with you what I bought back in the summer. Nfu Oh #52 is a blurple (blueish purple) jelly with green micro shimmer and flakies. There's so much green going on in there that the bottle looks like it has an beautiful eerie glow. I decided to layer this over OPI Russian Navy which I NEVER wear any way but on its own, but I really wanted to see what it looked like with an interesting blue. I used 2 coats of RN and 1 coat of #52. Its been raining here and has been dark outside all day long for the whole week, so these swatches were the best that I could get with the limited natural light that I had :o(  I will definitely re-visit this in the summer because IRL its AMAZING!

And because it would be a crime to not show you the most fabulous dark blue of all time here's the amazingly beautiful Russian Navy that has graced by toes for the past 2 years for the entire fall and winter, and will do the same again this year :-D

What do you think of #52? I promise babes that it was unbelievable in person, but it was just one of those that I really need so good sunlight to do justice, and I still haven't built my light box yet... Did you take a look at the amazing red and blue glittah in RN? A-MAZ-ING! Thanks for stopping by to let me share with you :o)

Pink Wednesday

Hello Babes and Happy Pink Wednesday! Today I have Essence Ultimate Pink to share with you. For the swatches below I used 2 thin coats, Konad ip m83, special white polish, and SV as my tc. Ultimate Pink is a pretty hot pink with an amazing formula that dried pretty fast. There's nothing original about this color and there are tons out there like it, but its still a pretty pink and you know I love my pinks.

The 1st picture has flash and the 2nd is just regular natural rainy day light. Below I have UP on its own.

 

What do you think of UP and the stamping? I just love that sassy cat stamp, I've been wanting to use it for a while now. Thanks for stopping by :o)
