Red Dog Designs Flamingo Bay

Hullo polish friends!  This post makes me happy!  I think I have found my most favorite shade of pink EVER!  What's even more awesome is that this is an amazing textured polish and the FIRST one to be done by an indie brand.  Red Dog Designs released The Neon Summer Sands collection just last week and they are a very trendsetting collection.  It consists of 6 neon sand polishes.  If you want to purchase these you can get them at the Red Dog shop.  And follow Red Dog on Facebook to keep up with news on up and coming polish.  Gina is constantly putting out amazing polishes!  If you haven't tried a texture polish yet I 100% recommend the Red Dog Sands.  They are fantastic! 

Flamingo Bay is a neon pink texture polish with silver micro sparkles throughout.  It's an amazing color and the texture is spot on.  This polish is very well made and can stand up against all the mainstream textures that are out right now.  It's a true texture, not a polish overloaded with glitter to cause a fake texture effect.  I used 2 thin coats and let each layer dry completely in between coats.  The formula was great, easy to work with and spread easily on my nails.  No topcoat.  On a side note, Naomi was smitten with this polish too and insisted I did matching nails for her...check out my new page featuring Naomi's nails for pictures of her wearing Flamingo Bay!

ellagee Welcome, Foolish Mortals

Hello again polish fans!  I'm here with another awesome new brand, ellagee.  ellagee is created by Laura, a super nice gal, who already has some stunning collections under her belt.  I hope to review some of the other polishes in the near future, but this post will focus on the brand new World of Laughter Collection.  It's a nod to all of Laura's favorite things about Disneyland and Disneyworld - whether it be an attraction, a tasty treat or a character.  It's an adorable lineup that I'm basically head over heels for.  
Welcome, Foolish Mortals!  If you are a Disney junkie like I am you will immediately know what the name of this polish is referencing.  If you aren't then it's from the Haunted Mansion.  One of the best rides (IMO) in Disneyland, just spooky enough for all ages to enjoy.  WFM is an awesome polish to capture the creepy, dark side of this Disney attraction.  Here's the description on the ellagee website, "Welcome, Foolish Mortals is a deep charcoal gray base with fine silver/white shimmer and blue/purple color-shifting iridescent, green holographic, and purple holographic hexagon glitters."  I especially loved the iridescent glitter that appeared to glow green/blue in the dark base, reminiscent of the ghostly spirits that haunt the mansion!  The pictures below show 2 coats.  The formula was great.  WFM was easy to apply, the perfect consistency, and plenty of glitter come out with each brush dip.  The glitter all laid flat on my nails and 1 layer of topcoat sealed it all in.  
So what do you think of ellagee and The World of Laughter so far?  I have 2 more polishes from this collection coming up in the next few days!  Can't wait to show them to you.  Until then you can follow ellagee on Facebook, Instagram (ellageepolish) and shop at the website www.ellagee.com.
