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.  

Takko Lacquer Xocomil & Kitsch

Good morning!  Hope your Monday is going well.  I've got a pretty light schedule today, just want to get in a short run today (and this whole week) so I don't over exert myself before I run the half marathon on Sunday.  I also need to make sure I am drinking tons of water this week so I don't dehydrate myself and pull a muscle.  Other than that - I'm looking at a regular week.  How about you?  So let's start this week off with some lovely Takkos!  I briefly met the maker of Takko Lacquer and she's seriously adorable and really sweet - I probably scared her because I am loud and just jumped into a conversation to meet her.  While we were sitting in a group we also asked her how to pronounce Takko and it's "taco", so there you have it, mystery solved!  Well I have some of her polishes to share today - one from the Summer 2015 collection and the other is the CosmoProf 2015 color!  Both will be available at the upcoming restock on 9/3 at 8pm EDT.  Takkos are $13 USD each.  So let's check out some polish!

Up first I have Xocomil, a "periwinkle purple filled with actual silver dust."  Sheryl says that Xocomil is inspired by the Mayan legend El Xocomil.  I enjoyed hearing about this legend as much as I enjoyed wearing the polish!  Xocomil is really a purple beauty and that's a lot coming from me because I don't love purple polish.  But this blue toned purple is unique and gorgeous.  The silver dust is a special addition that I don't think I've seen in any other polishes (at least none in my stash).  The formula and application of Xocomil were both fantastic.  I loved the length and size of the brush, it was kind of short and squat and so easy to work with.  Xocomil was very creamy and opaque - I had full coverage in 2 coats.  I finished with a layer of topcoat.  As a side note - I wore Xocomil for 3 days with no chipping and the most minimal tip wear on only one nail!  

I deiced to try out the CosmoProf color, Kitsch too!  First off how adorable is this mini bottle?  The minis are called Takkitos (tacquitos).  Kitsch is a "glittery party filled with multi pink glitter and holo shimmer and holo flakies in a clear base.  Once dry it smells like pink sugar cotton candy."  Ok it was totally cute and I loved the scent!  So sweet and yummy!  I found myself sniffing my nails through the day.  The scent diminished once I showered and didn't last longer than a day.  The glitter came out in abundance and covered perfectly.  I used 1 layer of Kitsch over Xocomil.  You can layer it over anything really or you can build it up in a few coats and wear it alone.  I finished with a layer of topcoat.
