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.
