Sweet Heart Polish & The Lady Varnishes Grim Grinning Ghosts Duo

Good evening!  I am back with another post for you and I totally love this one!  Last year Cassandra from Sweet Heart Polish did several duos inspired by Disneyland and this particular one was receiving such a large request that she worked it out and is re-releasing the Grim Grinning Ghosts Duo!  YAY Haunted Mansion lovers rejoice!  Paired up with The Lady Varnishes, this duo is the perfect blend of dark, spooky and glow in the dark.  The Grim Grinning Ghosts Duo will be for sale tomorrow (10/2) at 9am PST.  The duo will cost $20 USD and there will be 10 sets available in each shop (only 20 sets total).  Ready?  Keep your hands and feet inside the Doom Buggy at all times and always watch out for hitch-hiking ghosts.

Up first I have Welcome, Foolish Mortals by The Lady Varnishes.  This is a murky, minty green full of iridescent glitters in several sizes.  Welcome, Foolish Mortals is a sheer crelly polish but it builds up easily in a few coats.  I'd suggest letting each layer dry fully before adding the next.  You know something else?  Welcome, Foolish Mortals glows in the dark!!  And the glow is very bright and takes just a little light to get a good charge.  I used 3 coats of Welcome, Foolish Mortals and 1 layer of topcoat.

The other part of the duo is Sweet Heart Polish Hurry Ba-ack.  This is a black jelly polish full of green, purple and blue hexs in a couple different sizes.  There's also a nice dose of holo shimmer for a sparkly touch.  I absolutely love this color.  It's a perfect polish for October and trips to Disneyland!  The formula and application of Hurry Ba-ack were both stellar.  I used 3 coats of Hurry Ba-ack for full coverage and finished with a layer of topcoat.

Bohemian Polish Mojave Morning

Good afternoon!  I am back with another quickie post to share today!  Way back a long time ago in the summer when I went to Las Vegas for CosmoProf I got to meet lots of bloggers and indie brand makers at an after party.  I also got to come home with an awesome swag bag with lots of polish to try.  Well I am still working through that bag and have one of the polishes for you to take a gander at today!  I recently shared the Moste Potente Potions collection from Bohemian Polish with you (you can see it HERE) and I was in love with that set!  I was very excited to see that Jennifer had created a customer shade for the Vegas event and once I put it on I was in lala land!  While this one isn't available to purchase, there are so many other great polishes on the Bohemian Polish site that you can buy!  So let's check out this exclusive, Mojave Morning.

THIS is Mojave Morning.  I don't even know what to say.  It's beautiful.  I think it's the closest thing I have ever seen to a white holo.  Mojave Morning is soft, shimmery, holo-y, the slightest touch of silvery gray but pretty dang close to being white!  The formula and application were both great.  Now you'll have to excuse my memory because I swatched this while on vacation and didn't take notes.  I believe I used 2-3 coats of Mojave Morning for full coverage.  I finished with topcoat.  

Zoya Flair, Fall 2015

Good morning and happy October!  My favorite month of the year!  I always try to watch one horror movie a night during October and I am on pins and needles in anticipation for The Walking Dead and American Horror Story to start up again.  Since we are knee deep in Fall now I thought it appropriate to share Zoya's answer to the season!  Today I have the Flair collection on my blog - a collection of 6 shimmery, rich hues that will perfectly compliment any Autumn outfit and Pumpkin Spice Latte.  The Flair collection is available online now for $9 USD each.  Let's jump in and check out the Flair collection!

Up first I have a fabulous duo chrome called Aggie.  I love the shifty color of Aggie, it's gold and green and even a little bronzey depending on the lighting and how you move your fingers!  I sued 2 coats of Aggie for perfect coverage.  I finished with a layer of topcoat.  

Cinnamon is a gorgeous, rich shimmery brown in the liquid metal finish.  This color really does resemble a jar of cinnamon!  Cinnamon had another great formula.  I used 2 coats for full coverage and the application was smooth and easy.  I finished with a layer of topcoat.  

Here's my favorite of the Flair collection!  Ember is a stunning fiery red liquid metal that looks like hot molten lava.   So glowy!  Loved the formula and application, creamy, smooth, like buttah.  I used 2 coats of Ember and 1 layer of topcoat.  

Here's another great color!  Giada is a dark purple hue with the liquid metal finish.  I love that this purple is dark, but not blackened.  Just like all the others, Giada had a stellar formula and applied like a dream.  I used 2 coats of Giada and a layer of topcoat.  

Tris is a moody brushed nickel metallic-esque polish.  Yes, all I can think of is Tris from Divergent.  This color is kind of perfect for you, don't you think?  Tris had a great formula and applied perfectly in 2 coats.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat.  

Last but not least is Estelle, a beautiful blue with a liquid metal finish.  I'm a broken record here but the formula and application were both aces.  I used 2 coats of Estelle and finished with topcoat.
