Sweet Heat Polish Gloss48 Duo's: Royalty & Romance, Disneyworld or Bust & Disneyland or Bust (link to previous post)

Good afternoon!  I'm hanging out in a hotel room in South Lake Tahoe, it was snowing earlier this morning.  I love watching the snow from a window but I absolutely loathe being out in and and getting cold and wet.  Yes, I am a spoiled California girl.  You know what I do love?  Sharing amazing polish with you and that's just what I plan to do right now.  I have a few more new Sweet Heart Polishes to show you - these are available in a duo Gloss48 BUT you can pick them up individually or as a duo in the SHP shop.  They are available now so happy shopping!  The code "thankful" is still eligible to get you 30% off in the SHP shop so don't miss out on the great deal!  You can also use the code "snowvember" for 20% off at Gloss48!

This is Romance from the Romance & Royalty Duo, "a frosty lavender linear holo."  It is a perfectly gorgeous color and the frostiness makes it feel very wintery to me.  The formula and application for Romance were both spot on, I had full coverage in 3 coats.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat.  

The other part of this lovely duo is Royalty.  Royalty is a "juicy glitter jelly with silver holographic glitter."  This was the one that really surprised me.  The first layer I got on my nails I thought, "ok this is going to be awesome."  and after 3 coats I was in awe with the juiciness, the blinginess, the beauty!  The formula and application were both fabulous.  I love how well this jelly built up.  The bling also kinda freaked out my camera so trust me when I say this is way more amazing in real life.  I used 3 coats of Royalty and 1 layer of topcoat     

Moving along - at first I was confused and thought Cassandra remained Disneyland or Bust, then I realized she made Disneyworld or Bust!  I was super excited with it and loved the color combination she used to be the counterpart to Dland or Bust!  Here are the 2 of them together - aren't they a perfect pair?!

Disneyworld or Bust is a "mix of neon glitter with white mouse heads and rainbow shimmer in a clear suspension base."  I love that it's a lighter mixture, I'd say it captures more of the girly side of Disney!  This glitter is perfectly suspended in the clear base and came out easily.  The mouse heads are slightly heavier so I did have to dig a bit for those but nothing to complain about.  I used 2 coats of Disneyworld or Bust over a gradient of Zoya Rocky and Laka No12.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat.  I had previously posted about Disneyland or Bust so you can see the pictures for it HERE.  

Cupcake Polish Holiday 2014

Good morning out there in Black Friday land!  Are you up, hitting the sales?  Or are you in your warm, cozy bed avoiding the crazy crowds and enjoying a nice, light breakfast after the biggest meal of the year?  I am on the road to a weekend trip to the snow so yup, I am not partaking in the physical Black Friday madness.  But that has nothing to do with this post.  THIS post is about the upcoming Cupcake Polish Holiday 2014 collection!  It's a total jaw dropper!  Brights, jewel tones, linear holo, shimmer, flakies...so much amazing in one collection!  The Cupcake Polish Holidy 2014 Collection will be available on 12/1 at 6pm Central.  So let's take a break from perusing the clothing and shoe racks, grab your Starbucks Peppermint Mocha with whipped cream and have a seat for this picture heavy post!

Look Who's Stocking Now is a gorgeous and unexpected bright shade for the season!  Look Who's Stocking Now is a "teal linear holo with gold and teal shimmer."  Absolutely.  In.  Love.  Aside form the fabulous color, the formula and application were both equally stupendous!  I used 2 coats of Look Who's Stocking Now and 1 layer of topcoat.

Menorah-ty Opinion is another completely fantastic blue, but a "cobalt blue linear holo with blue and gold micro glitters and a ton of gold flakies."  It's unique and the flakies do not get lost in the holo, which I love.  This was another top notch formula and application.  Zero issues to report.  I reached full coverage in 2 coats of Menorah-ty Opinion and finished with 1 layer of topcoat.

Deck The Malls is real stunner!  This is a "green holographic micro glitter polish."  Deck The Malls is bling and sparkly and gorgeous.  It's got a perfect emerald shade - actually it reminds me of Oz from The Wizard Of Oz!  Formula and application were both great.  I would recommend letting each layer dry completely before adding the next.  I used 2 coats of Deck The Malls and 1 layer of topcoat.  It did dry a bit gritty so I'd also suggest a second layer of thick topcoat for a smooth to the touch finish or skip the topcoat for a textured finish).

Ornamental My Dear...what can I say here?  I really loved each of the polishes in this collection, but THIS is my favorite.  It's a "silver linear holographic polish loaded with gold flakies and micro glitter.  This polish is designed to be worn either as a topper or alone."  I went the alone route and am so pleased with how it looks!  Ornamental My Dear had a wonderful formula and application.  I used 3 coats of Ornamental My Dear for full coverage and finished with 1 layer of topcoat.

Just Sleighing Around is another stunner here!  It's a "creamy red linear holographic polish."  The real kicker here is that this is totally a 1 coater.  But you know I have OCD about 1 coat so I had to add a light 2nd, totally unnecessary.  Formula was creamy and smooth and applied like buttah.  Again, I used 2 coats of Just Sleighing Around for full coverage and no topcoat.

Yule Be Missing Me round out this holiday set.  It's a "rich purple linear holographic polish."  This is one of those juicy, vibrant shades of purple that I really enjoy looking at on my nails.  And would you just look at that flame?  It's phenomenal!  The formula was great and it applied perfectly.  I used 2 coats of Yule Be Missing Me and no topcoat.
