ellagee; Group RAOK Another Little Piece of My Heart

Afternoon dears!  The weather played a trick on eye today.  It was murky out until just now (12pm) and now I'm dying from wearing too much clothing.  Hey now!  It's not like I'm naked, but I'm wearing a t-shirt instead of a tank top and UGH, what was I thinking?!  Anyways, I'm sitting at the pool watching my kids swim, and then we're headed to the fair to check it out.  So my fat will be crying today.  But today I was popping in with a shorty post for you.  ellagee Another Little Piece of My Heart was originally created as a RAOK polish.  Everyone loved it so much it became a group custom.  And now you can purchase it for yourself, if you're a member of the group!  This is a true beauty and you'll be happy to snag one for yourself.  Another Little Piece of My Heart is $12.  Let's jump in and check out the pics.

Stella Chroma Draught of Peace, July Multichrome Madness Group Custom

Afternoon all!  Hope your Monday is going swimmingly!  I just had my kids at swim lessons and they did pretty great!  But we had some other things to do this afternoon so I didn't get to stay and swim after lessons ended.  Hoping that's the plan tomorrow because I fully plan to bring some food and adult beverage and just hang at the pool as long as possible.  But for now I'll settle for a glass of iced tea and sharing this post with you.  Stella Chroma is at it again with her phenomenal multi chrome skills.  What I have today is Draught of Peace, a custom created for the Multichrome Madness group.  This will be available to group members only, until 7/31.  If you're not a member, you definitely need to join!  Draught of Peace is $13, or you can pick up the duo (Draught of Peace and Amortentia) for $23.  You can save 15% using my code MNPO.  Let's jump right in and check out this beauty!

Zoya MatteVelvet Collection

Good evening!  I'm very happy to share this post with you because I think the Zoya MatteVelvet Collection consists of the sexiest polishes ever!  The colors are fantastic, the formula is perfect and the finish is amazing.  I am personally very excited that Zoya re-released this collection because I spent a good amount of time last year scouring through beauty supply stores looking for them (I'm sure many others did the same).  I have each polish from this collection shown in their regular matte finish and then with topcoat - they are all stunning both ways.  The MatteVelvet Collection is currently available for purchase and each bottle is $9 USD.  There is also a MatteVelvet Top Coat for $10 and a MatteVelvet red lipstick for $12.   Buy all the MatteVelvet things!

Dovima is a "smokey charcoal-black with strong silver shimmer and a velvety MATTEVELVET finish."  It's a wearable black that anyone can rock!  The silver shimmer is lovely.  I reached full opacity and perfect coverage in 2 coats of Dovima.

Loredana is a "medium gunmetal grey, packed with silvery shimmer and a velvety MATTEVELVET finish."  It looks like brushed metal and it's so cool!  Loredana had an awesome formula and applied perfectly.  I used 2 coats of Loredana for full coverage.

Posh is hands down my favorite of the 6-piece collection.  It's a gorgeous "medium cool-toned wine red with metallic red shimmer and a velvety MATTEVELVET finish."  Posh is such a luxurious color and definitely makes me feel sexy when I have it on.  I used 2 coats of Posh for full coverage.  Formula and application were both perfect.

Verushka is my second favorite in the collection.  Verushka is a "deep evergreen garnished with strong metallic shimmer in a velvety MATTEVELVET finish."  This screams Christmas to me.  Much like the previous shades, the formula and application are both wonderful.  No issues to report.  I used 2 coats of Verushka for perfect coverage.

*with topcoat*

Savita is a "bold, vibrant medium purple with strong red and gold shimmer with a velvet MATTEVELVET finish."  Such a pretty purple.  And the way that red shimmer shines through the base?  WOW!  Savita had a perfect formula and applied like a dream.  I used 2 coats of Savita to reach full opacity.

*with topcoat*

I saved Harlow for last because it was on my wish list for so long, I still can't believe that I own it.  Harlow is a "rich, saturated rose plum packed with sparkling metallic shimmer in a velvety MATTEVELVET finish."  The shimmer in Harlow seems to be in larger pieces, or possibly a higher quantity of shimmer?  But it totally works for this shade.  It's truly gorgeous and feminine and sexy at the same time.  Formula and application were both fabulous.  I used 2 coats of Harlow for full coverage.

Girly Bits What Happens In Vegas...Ends Up On Instagram

Good afternoon!  I've got something special for you today!  Many of you remember that last year Pam from Girly Bits made a special polish, What Happens In Vegas...Ends Up On Facebook (you can see my post with WHIVEUOF HERE).  Well she did it again this year and this amazing polish will be available for a limited time frame in the beginning of August (a little birdie also told me that there might also be a re-release of the WHIVEUOF at the same time).  So with that information for you to soak up, let's skip on the pictures and check out the beauty that is What Happens In Vegas...Ends Up On Instagram!

What Happens In Vegas...Ends Up On Instagram (WHIVEUOI) is an amazing shimmery fuchsia with red micro glitter, iridescent purple shifting flakies and holo shimmer.  It's pretty bright and sparkly and make my camera go all kinds of wonky.  But I think my pictures captured some of the gorgeous so you can early see the color and special effects inside the polish.  Along with the fabulous color, WHIVEUOI also had a great thick and opaque formula and application was a breeze.  I had full coverage in 2 coats.  It did dry a tad gritty so topcoat is recommended.   Well, what are your thoughts on WHIVEUOI?  I love it and the fact that I was able to meet Pam in Vegas makes it all the more special to me.
