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

Aloha from Hawaii!  I am on vacation in paradise and enjoying it so far!  We arrived yesterday and our resort is just so beautiful.  Like they took paradise and made it even better.   I have a couple posts to share with you while I'm here and the first one is the newest addition to the Girly Bits What Happens in Vegas collection!  I reviewed the previous ones HERE and HERE and now I've got What Happens In Vegas...Ends Up On Snapchat!  I'll admit I have no idea what Snapchat is.  I thought it was for sharing pictures that get erased after a few seconds so I don't know how that works for social media sharing.  But maybe I'm just old and not hip anymore.  But what I do know is that this polish is AMAZING!  Now I don't have exact release date information, but I do know WHIVEUOS is Limited Edition and will be available for pre-order in early to mid August.  I pinky promise to update you with availability as soon as I hear something solid.  So let's jump in and check out this gorgeous polish!

Just thought you'd like to see all 3 of the What Happens In Vegas Ends Up On... polishes together!  Aren't they lovely?!  From Left to right they are in order of release: Facebook (2013), Instagram (2014) and Snapchat (2015).  I can't wait to see what next years addition will look like!  

THIS is What Happens In Vegas...Ends Up On Snapchat!  Its a gorgeous soft, pastel purple linear holo with a helping of tiny silver holo glitters.  The formula and application were on point!  Creamy, opaque, smooth, buttery, fabulous, perfect...I can give you a slew of words describing how I felt about this polish.  I think you get the idea.  I used 2 coats for full coverage and finished with a layer of topcoat.

I decided to use all 3 What Happens In Vegas Ends Up On... polishes to do a gradient!  It turned out so pretty!  I started with a base of Zoya Ana and then sponged on a few coats of the 3 WHIV polishes.  I have them sponged on from top to bottom: Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat.  The only one that didn't really want to show up to the party was WHIVEUO...Facebook.  I think it must just have a lighter pigment.  I topped this with 1 layer of topcoat.  

Addicted to Holos Indie Box, February 2015 (partial review)

Good evening.  Sorry for the late post.  I am actually typing it up to help me unwind from some late exercise.  Sometimes it's calming to type and zone out to the sound of the tv in the background.  Tonight's post features the inaugural Addicted To Holos Indie Box that was released back in February.  I only have 4 of the 5 to share with you because a friend wanted 1 of them so we shared.  I love that this is a box full of great indies and their take on holos.  You'll see different types of holo; jelly, metallic, with holo glitter, linear holo, etc...I can't wait to see what fabulous holos the other boxes bring!  The pre-order for the April box just closed so you'll have to wait for the upcoming June box (I'm guessing there are going to be some amazing summer-brights and neons in there!)  Let's jump in and check out the February box!

I'm going in no particular order so up first is Philly Loves Lacquer Fortunate Rainbow, a metallic mint with a loose linear holo finish.  I thought this was a very pretty color and liked the metallic finish but I found the formula a little difficult to work with.  It was streaky and built up on itself in a few places.  I used 3 coats to reach full opacity.  No topcoat.  

Sweet Heart Polish contributed Candied Violets to the February Box.  It's a beautiful soft lilac linear holo full of holo microglitters.  The formula was really lovely and it applied easily.  I found the mixture of linear holo with the square holo microglitters a perfect combination.  The holo microglitters were added with a very light hand so they don't over power the polish, just give it a little something extra.  Candied Violets was one of my favorites from this box.  I used 3 coats to reach full opacity and no topcoat.  

Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer added Cuts In My Heart to the Box.  This is a absolutely gorgeous color, deep maroon with a "glowy" type holo.  The color was very opaque and I had full coverage in almost 1 coat, a heavy handed painter easily could use 1, but I ended up using 2.  The formula was nice, and it applied with ease.  But it dried to a dull and gritty finish that required more than 1 layer of topcoat to smooth out.  

And finally we have Literary Lacquers Laughs in Flowers.  This was my other favorite from the February Box.  How could it not be?  It's such a classic Literary Lacquer, gorgeous jelly holo full of glinting holo microglitters.  This is a linear petal pink holo with a mixture of square and hex microglitters.  The formula was really fantastic and it applied like a dream in 2 coats.  No topcoat used.    

Enchanted Polish October 2013 (picture heavy)

Good morning lovelies!  I've done my fair share of skittlettes recently and it was time to go back to the basics.  So I have a couple plain manis to share in the next couple posts - though there really is nothing plain about them!  I'll start with a stunning new holo from Enchanted Polish.  During the last restock I was at my boys indoor soccer practice so I had to pray that I could snag something from my phone.  Thankfully I did!  And it was the one I wanted most because I like snagging the monthly polishes that are meaningful to me.  I grabbed this one because it's my middle child's birth month.  So let's look at it shall we?  I included lots of pictures to show the holo!

This moody beauty is October 2013.  It's described as a "dark grey holo."  I'd definitely categorize it in the grey family - maybe charcoal.  In the shade it looks like a plain grey.  But in the sunlight this linear holo has a beautiful and strong flame.  Do you want to know something...October is a one coater!  Yup!  1 coat for perfectly creamy and opaque coverage.  Formula and application were both really fantastic.  I did not use topcoat.

Uber Girly mani with Lumina Lacquer All Tied Up, Color Club Miss Bliss and Zoya Trixie

Morning *singsong voice*!  I've been doing alot of winter and blue manis.  Well I needed a change.  So I slapped a super girly, pink mani on and I am loving it!  It's nice to change things up don't you think?  Well this is has a very princess feel and I actually got alot of compliments on it!  I used Lumina Lacquer, Essie, Color Club and Zoya to create this skittlette.

I started with 2 coats of Essie Marshmallow, a sheer, jelly white polish.  I used it on my index and middle fingers.  I topped Essie Marshmallow with Lumina Lacquer All Tied Up.  I adore this polish!  It's so girly but a glitter polish you could wear year round.  It's full of pink and silver glitter in hexs, circles and bows!  That's right - BOWS!  Satin white, satin pink, metallic fuchsia and holo silver!  This polish had a great formula with very easy application.  Plenty of bows and large holo circles came out without any fishing and all the glitter laid flat on my nails.  I applied 2 coats of All Tied Up.  I used Color Club Miss Bliss on my ring and pinky nails.  Whoa the bright rose pink holo is amazing!  One of the strongest and brightest linear holos I've used.  Another great formula here.  I used 2 coats of Miss Bliss for complete coverage.  Finally I used Zoya Trixie, a metallic silver polish on my thumb as a fun accent to tie in all the colors used in this mani.  Trixie had a lovely formula with a beautiful finish.  I used 2 coats of Trixie.  I added a silver bow charm to accent my ring finger nail using a small dab of nail glue.  I only used topcoat on my glitter nails.  

*I apologize for no macros, I thought I had transferred them and it turns out I didn't...and then I deleted them all before I realized my mistake.  Sad panda.
