Zoya: Jubilee Collection, Holiday 2018

Hello, happy Saturday!  This post is long overdue as it is the Zoya Holiday collection.  Holiday time for me is usually really hectic and on top of that my family grew.  I also took a look at this collection and it didn't really scream holiday to me anyways so I decided that sharing it any time during the Winter would suffice.  And Zoya is currently having a "get 4 FREE" deal and all you need to do is pay the shipping.  Use code Hue19 and see more info for the deal HERE.  So really, I helped save you money if you wanted any of these and waited until now to buy.  You're welcome. Now let's jump on in to the post and check out the lovely 12-piece collection that is Jubilee!  Oh, these up for $10 each or pre-selected 6 piece sets for $60 without the deal.

Hey all you owls!  Ok this is equally a late post as in late at night and late past when the collection launched.  But you know what?  There's never a bad time to fall in love with some amazing creme polishes, especially if they work for more than one season and the majority of these definitely do!  This is the Girly Bits Fall 2017 Creme Collection.  You can pick these up for $15 CAD each, if you want them before Christmas I'd suggest you order soon because the shop will probably be closed as it gets closer.  So with that information divulged, let's jump in and see what gorgeousness Pam came up with!

China Glaze Seas and Greetings; Holiday/Winter 2016

Morning dolls.  I've got a big post to share with you this morning.  First of all I'm a little behind on this one so it's likely you have seen this collection already.  Second, that's ok because what's one more post featuring a unique spin on Winter and holiday shades?!  China Glaze did an amazing job with this collection, I love the colors and finishes.  Seas and Greetings is a clever play on words but also tells much about the inspiration for the collection.  These are beach worthy colors that will transition into Spring perfectly.  They are available now so head to your local beauty supply and spend that left over Christmas money!

Zoya; Enchanted, Holiday 2016

Morning dears.  I've been thinking this morning.  Lots of my favorite bloggers are quitting.  Real bloggers.  While Instagram swatchers and photoshop bloggers are gaining popularity.  Maybe blogs aren't so popular anymore.  And a blog that is super lengthy isn't being read because the comments on it don't match up to the post.  I've noticed that on several of my recent posts and while I know mine aren't that long I think I'll begin to shave them down.  So no more gabbing about irrelevant topics on my posts.  Starting today.

This morning I have the Zoya Enchanted Collection.  This is a 6-piece set with a mix of shimmer, multi chrome and PIXIES!!  Yup, Zoya has some fantastic PixieDust in this collection!  If you're a texture lover then this collection is going to be your jam!  Enchanted is available now, $60 for the whole set or $10 each.  Let's jump in and check them out!

Color Club Frost Bite Collection; Partial Review

Good morning dears!  My posting will be a bit infrequent and irregular for the next week (month actually) as I am preparing for a 2 week long vacation and will be busy packing, cleaning and setting up guest posts!  YAY for guest posts!  But when I have a chance here and there I'll throw up a few pictures for you to peruse.  This morning I have a few metallic shades and a glitter from the Color Club Winter collection called Frost Bite.  The 7 piece Frost Bite collection is available on the website now and each shade is $8.50.  It looks like they are all metallic finish, metal type shades.  The only thing I will mention about this is that you will get brushstrokes with this type of finish.  My suggestion is to sponge on the second layer and you'll completely reduce that brushstrokey look.  I also have a feeling these will be great for stamping!  So let's jump in and see the 3 polishes I have to share!

Good evening lovelies!  Sorry for disappearing over the holiday!  I went out of town with my family after Thanksgiving and enjoyed a mini-vacation.  The only laptop time I had was to partake in any Black Friday/Small Business Saturday sales.  And to share sales on my Facebook page.  So that's that!  Hopefully your weekend was as uneventful and enjoyable as mine was.  But now I'm back with a holo-tactic post for today! Cupcake Polish will be releasing the Holiday Magic collection tomorrow, 12/1 at 8pm Central.  This is a collection of 6 pastel, super holo polishes with a sprinkling of magical holo glitter!  Each polish will be $13 each, but for the first 24 hours you can get the entire set at the discounted price of $72.  So let's jump in and check out these beauties!

Smitten Polish Christmas In Stars Hollow, Winter/Holiday 2015

Good evening!  Are you in bed yet?  No?  Neither am I.  Even thought I should hit the sack early because I have to get up at 6am again to get in a 10 mile run with my running buddy.  I will do so but it will be grudgingly and I'll likely still be asleep for the first half hour.  So since I'm still awake and you're still awake let's talk more polish!  Another brand that will be releasing a fantastic collection on Black Friday is my beloved Smitten Polish!  The Christmas In Hollows Eve is a fun collection, inspired by Gilmore girls and it's full of a variety of finishes; glitter, shimmer, holo - they are all FANTASTIC.  And let me start by saying I'm sorry, I didn't watch this series so I can't comment on how any of these actually relate to the show.  Maybe one of you fans can let me know!  Christmas In Stars Hollow releases on 11/27 at 2pm Central.  The pre-order will be open for 24 hours.  Since it's Black Friday there's a code for you to use!  THANKS2015 will get you 20% off your entire order (excluding the new Christmas In Stars Hollow collection).  This code is also only for 24 hours.  So happy shopping and buy all the Smitten!

Colors by Llarowe Winter Jellies/Crellies

Good afternoon dears!  It feels like the calm before the storm this weekend.  I know I need to get potatoes and things for side dishes, but the thought of going to the grocery store has me wanting to crawl back under my covers!  If I wait longer I know it'll be worse!  As will the everything to be done next week up until Thanksgiving.  And then after that the malls and stores will all be jam packed until Christmas Eve. I love the holiday season, but I can do with out the added hustle and bustle.  The fact that I've had 2 lazy weekends in a row with no plans has really made me appreciate being home in the peace and quiet (as much as it can be peaceful or quiet with 3 littles running around).   So I'm about to get my hair did, darkened up but but I wanted to share this post with you right away as these jellies and crellies from Colors by Llarowe will be releasing tomorrow (11/23) into the core collection.  If you weren't in the know, the Winter collection will also be launching tomorrow and you can see my post and pictures HERE.  So let's jump in and check out these lovely polishes!

Alter Ego Nail Enamel Winter Wonders Collection

Good morning dears!  I have the beautiful Winter Wonders collection from Alter Ego Nail Enamels to share with you today.  The colors and finishes of the 4 polishes in this collection are completely gorgeous.  I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again but Cynthia has really been knocking it out of the park lately with her colors, finishes and formula!  If you are a newbie to Alter Ego I would highly suggest you pick one of these out as your introduction to the brand!  The Winter Wonders Collection will be available on Saturday 1/17 at 10:00 am CST.  Let's jump in and look at pictures!

Sugar Plums is a gorgeous plummy magenta with holo shimmer.  This color is really stunning.  Sugar Plums had a great formula and applied with ease.  I used 2 coats for full coverage.  It dries to a matte finish, for a glossy look like mine use a layer of topcoat.

Winter Sunset Watcher is a fabulous orange with loads of pink and gold shimmer.  This is a real beauty and a unique color.  I love how bright and refreshing Winter Sunset Watcher is after all the dark winter shades.  This one was just a little sheer.  I used 3 coats and still have some visible nail line.  Winter Sunset Watcher dries matte so use a layer of topcoat for a smooth, glossy look.

Frost Fairy is a soft, icy, frozen shade of blue.  It has beautiful blue and silvery shimmer.  As much as I love the last two polishes if I'm being honest with myself, Frost Fairy is my favorite of the collection.  Everything about it was pure perfection.  Formula and application?  Perfection.  I used 3 coats of Frost Fairy for full coverage.  Let each layer dry completely before the next - dries to a soft matte finish.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat.

And finally we have Balsam Beauty.  This forest green polish is full of holo shimmer.  I love this color.  It makes me feel like I'm standing in the middle of a lush forest.  The formula and application were both great.  Easy to work with, nothing to report home about.  Balsam Beauty was a touch sheer and as you can see I still have some visible nail line after 3 coats.  It dries to a soft matte so finish with a layer of topcoat.
