Smitten Polish Smitten With My Super Swatchers

Happy New Years dears!  I hope you celebrated last night with your loved ones, had a glass of champagne and got a midnight kiss.  I was in Epcot, Germany specifically, eating a tasty meal at the Oktoberfest Biergarten and enjoying some German beer.  The firework show was pretty spectacular and it's definitely an experience I won't forget anytime soon.  But I am back on the road now, headed south to Miami.  I am not sure if I'll have any more Nail of the Day pictures to share on Instagram or blog posts for a couple days but I did want to show you this one...a gorgeous gift sent to me by the lovely Noelie from Smitten Polish.  I was able to snag some sunshine pictures to really show off how beautiful it is.  She also sent a handmade ornament, which I love, and some homemade cookies - delicious...gone.  It was such a thoughtful and wonderful gift and I'm so grateful to have received it.  So let's take a look at pictures!

Smitten With My Super Swatchers is a beautiful deep cobalt blue full of holo shimmer and flakies.  It actually took me by surprise because I wasn't expecting the holo, then I got outside and it was like BAM!  Holo shimmer!  Yeah, I am feeling quite in love with Smitten With My Super Swatchers and will have to be careful to ration it for special occasions.  It applied perfectly in 2 coats.  I used 1 layer of topcoat for a glossy finish.

Not the best picture but here is all the contents of the package!  

Red Dog Designs Hot Tamale

Good morning!  With Gina's announcement that Red Dog Designs will be re-opening shop on September 1st I thought I'd share one of the gorgeous one of a kinds that she sent my way.  I've had this for a long while, so long I can't even remember when she actually sent it.  I've gazed at it lovingly and finally decided I needed to wear it despite the mini bottle and the feat that it will run out quickly.  I really think she should make this and add it to her shop - it's so amazing!  I'll admit I feel kind of bad sharing ooak's like this since it's not available.  But maybe if we all ask nicely she will do a sexy collection full of holos like this one!

Sooooo Hot Tamale.   Yeah, what can I really say here?  Picture speak a thousand words.  But I'll add a few extra words.  This little beauty is a metallic red holo.  It's like red red.  Like Hot Tamale sting your tongue cinnamon candy red.  And so pretty.  I felt uber sexy when I had it on my nails.  Hot Tamale has quite a bit of purple in the flare which is nice, it adds some extra pizazz.  The formula was fantastic, creamy and opaque.  Hot Tamale could easily be a one coater, but that darn mini brush wouldn't let me get enough polish on it so I used 2 coats.  I finished with a layer of topcoat.  

Lumina Lacquer Birthday Night Out

Good morning (or afternoon depending on where you are) lovely readers!  I am currently working on some more spam posts for your enjoyments, but do have a few single polishes/manis to show off in the meantime.  This beauty is from Lumina Lacquer, a one of a kind gift that was sent to me for my birthday!  I'm a big fan of Luminas and this special polish is absolutely gorgeous and very special to me!  Birthday Night Out is a cobalt blue base that has a slightly metallic look, and is filled with flakies and holographic shimmer swimming about.  It reminds me of a star filled night sky or a glistening deep blue ocean.  The holo is very subtle in the pictures, but so much more prominent in real life, even in indoor lighting!  I used 2 coats of Birthday Night Out for perfect coverage and 2 layers of topcoat.

While this particular Lumina Lacquer isn't available for purchase there are many beautiful polishes that are, including glitters, solid colors and micro glitters!
