 Love this trio you will!

 

Hey all...I am back with another awesome collaboration polish set from Freak Show Polish and Liquid Sky Lacquer.  This month they teamed up with Laquerlicious to create a special Star Wars inspired trio.  This trio was originally released a few weeks ago and sold out completely on the first night.  Because it was such a huge success, they are restocking this weekend.  Yay!  So if you love Star Wars and thermals and flakies and glitter...you need this trio :)

Dr. Suess Duo

Hi lovelies!

Press Sample

I have some more goodies to show you that will be launching this weekend.  Two great indie polish gals, Carissa and Carolyn, have teamed up to create a pair of polishes inspired by Dr. Suess books.  These polishes with be available as a set from both the Freak Show Polish and the Liquid Sky Lacquer sites. 

First up is "No One Alive Is Youer Than You" from Liquid Sky Lacquer.  This glitter bomb has it all!  Tons of shapes (stars, hearts, butterflies, giant hexes, squares, micro glitter) and in all the colors of the rainbow.  I used one coat dabbed over a skittle mani of primary colors.  I did seek out certain glitters to make sure I was able to show all the shapes.  It was very glitter dense.

Next is "Green Eggs and Ham" from Freak Show Polish.  This is a mossy green slimmer polish with a myriad of colored micro flakies.  I used two easy coats with a top coat.  I really love this muted green color.  When Carissa first showed me this polish concept, I said it did remind me of eggs.  It reminded me to the green/grey rim you get around a yolk if it is overcooked when hard boiling.  Haha! 

 

 

 

And as you saw in my last post...gotta macro all the flakies!

 

 

The Dr. Suess Duo will launch at 5pm on February 8th.  The polishes will not be sold separately and only come as the duo.  The cost is $17 and can be purchased from both Freak Show Polish and Liquid Sky Lacquer.

McPolish's Birthday Stamping Adventures

Hey all!

So, my birthday was last week.  Yep...another year older and my fourth 29th birthday (ha!).  I wanted to wear something super-duper awesome on my nails for the day, so I did some epic stamping.  This technique has many different names: advanced stamping, reverse stamping, stamping decals, I can't believe these are really my nails stamping.  Take your pick!  For this mani, I did the decal method.   I think Chanfie at Indian Ocean Polish has a great tutorial on this method, definitely check it out.

So on to the birthday mani!  I used OPI "Fly" for the base.  It is a gorgeous teal that really goes on smooth.  This polish was from the Nicki Minaj collection.  On my pinky, I used Freak Show Polish "Virgo", which is a microglitter textured polish.  Using the stamping decal method, I created the cool designs on my thumb and ring finger with MoYou London "Explorer 03" plate.  This is my most favorite stamping plate ever!  It has so many designs just begging to be made into stamping decals.  If you have not had the chance to experience MoYou London plates...put them on your wish list and bite the bullet for shipping.  They are absolutely worth every penny!

Ok...enough jibber-jabber and onto the mani!  I really, REALLY loved this manicure and would recreate it over and over again.  Do you love it?

I am currently holding a birthday giveaway on Instagram which ends on January 28th.  If you would like at chance a fabulous indie polish and your very own MoYou London plate, check out my page and do your best "McPolish Pose".

Would you guys like a tutorial on advanced stamping?
