Potion Polish; Wistful Collection

Afternoon beauties.  Coming down from the high that was my birthday weekend.  So many awesome things happened, I don't think this year will ever be topped.  Now I'm shacked up on my couch watch Madrid play Barcelona on TV and it's a great game (editing to say WOMP Madrid lost).  No better time to share a post than now!  Today I have a trio of gorgeous polish from Potion Polish that will be available on 4/28.  This trio has a little of everything, shimmer, flakies, holo...and of course they're all gorgeous!  You can pick up the Wistful Collection on 4/28 at 1pm EST.  They will be $10-$10.50 each.  Mark your calendar so you remember to pick them up.  Now it's time to check out pictures, woot!

Paint Box Polish LE Holiday Polish: Snowy Evening & Sanguine Stars

Morning dears!  I'm going to make this short and sweet because I need to get out for a run, then breakfast, then tackle the day of touristy things to do in New York with my family.  But I promised more Black Friday deals and I am here to share one now.   Paint Box Polish will have a few sales and here's the run down.  Black Friday through Cyber Monday there will be free shipping.  Save 29% off everything in the store on Saturday 11/26 using the code Happy29th (in celebration of Pam's birthday).  And of course you can use my code MNPO for 15% off your order.  And now the polish!  Pam created 2 special polishes for the occasion and both will be available on 11/25.  They are Limited Edition and single pour so there's no telling how long they'll be around.  Each polish will be $12.  But instead of gabbing about them let's delve in and check them out.

Summer of Untrieds Day 31: Foil/Chrome

WOW - I made it through the 31 day Summer of Untrieds challenge!  I am shocked!  But I feel like it was a pretty big accomplishment.  This July has been my highest number of posts in a month to date, so that's pretty awesome too.  This was definitely a fun challenge and I would absolutely do it again to help slash through my untried pile.  The final post in the untried challenge was for a foil/chrome polish and I had the perfect one up my sleeve!  Let's jump on in and check out this beauty from Emerald & Ash!

This foily beauty is Hubble.  It's a pretty darn awesome silver foil, but it's got a little something extra to give some interest!  Hubble was created to "mimic the outer shell of the Hubble Space Telescope.  The polish is also filled with gold and black flakies, which represent the solar arrays and various sensors that cover the telescope."  The addition of the flakies really set Hubble apart from other silver foils and help give it a very space age look.  Hubble had a great formula that was a breeze to work with.  I got full coverage in 2 coats and I used a layer of topcoat to finish.  

Celestial Cosmetics: Opie, Reaper Crew and Chrome Amaranth

Good morning friends!  Hope your Monday went by without a hitch.  And if you are in one of the freezing Polar Vortex zones I hope you are staying as warm as possible.  Maybe looking at some sexay-hot polish will help keep you in warm spirits.  I have some lovely Celestial Cosmetics to share today and while they are readily available to Aussie gals, they aren't so easy for us US gals to nab.  Thank goodness for stockists like Color4Nails!  You can purchase all 3 of these at Color4Nails now.

Up first I have the Color4Nails exclusive shade, Chrome Amaranth.  Chrome Amaranth is a silver chrome polish with red glitter.  I also noticed some holo glitters in there, but they are sparse.  This polish was a little sheer, after 3 coats I still had a little visible nail line.  I did not use topcoat for my pictures but I'd recommend it because the glitter gives off a slightly bumpy look.  

Now I have 2 Celestials from the Sons of Anarchy collection.  This one is Reaper Crew.  Reaper Crew is a black linear holo with a very sparkly and pretty rainbow flame.  Application and formula were both fantastic.  Reaper Crew applied like butter in 2 coats and was very glossy and shiny without any topcoat.

This is Opie, also from the Sons of Anarchy collection.  Opie is a shiny, foily, metallic silver linear holo.  This is a gorgeous polish!  Application and formula were both top notch.  I used 3 coats for full opaqueness and no topcoat.
