Serum No. 5 - Empowered Collection

Hello all!

Press Sample

I have a great indie brand to share today that has been in the game for a long time and well known for glow in the dark polishes.  Serum No. 5 makes amazing polishes.  They has taken a short break but are back at this year with a small collection of glow in the dark thermals with names to empower women.  I, too, am part of the pantsuit nation and the names of these polishes bring back that spark of hope for women  It has been super hot in Florida and my short nails made transition photos near impossible.  So I will be showing you the warm/cold states on two nails.  Let's take a look at these beauties!

KBShimmer Fall 2015 Collection

Hi friends!

Press Sample

I am overjoyed to share a new collection from KBShimmer with you all tonight.  If you have been following the indie nail polish community at all over the past few years, you have likely heard of KBShimmer.  They are the most popular indie nail polish brand ever!  (at least in my opinion)  They always have a wide range of nail polish colors and finishes that are hardly ever out of stock and super affordable.  Plus, they also carry other bath and body products and nail art supplies.  A one stop shop!  I have been a huge fan of Christy's creations for years, so you can imagine my excitement when I was asked to join the KBShimmer blogging team.  The Fall 2015 Collection is a set of 12 polishes including 4 cremes, 2 crellys, 2 jellies, 1 linear holographic, 1 glass fleck, 1 microglitter and 1 glow in the dark polish.  These babies release tomorrow, so lets get into some swatches!

OPI Zom-Body To Love (and my return from hiatus!)

I've been a horrible blogger lately. This is sadly my first post in over a week. I've been busy, it's true, but mostly my nails have been in such horrid shape I don't feel much like blogging. I've had a lot of stress at work and that always leads me to pick at my nails and polish. You should never ever peel off your nail polish, as it will weaken your nails and cause them to easily break! Please excuse my sad nubbins!

I figured I'd jump back in with a fun polish I wore a couple of days ago, this is OPI Zom-Body To Love, an interesting green glow in the dark polish I purchased sometime around last Halloween. Zom-Body To Love is quite sheer, so I layered it over Cult Nails Feelin' Froggy, one of my favorite greens.

Although the glow in the dark pigment likes to settle out of polishes, Zom-Body To Love shook up easily and was one of the easiest ones I've used. The formula was easy to work with, and I used two coats over my green base coat. It has that familiar grainy texture of glow in the dark paint, but layering it over Feelin Froggy gave me a nice soft green. If I had layered it over white the glow would have appeared much brighter I'm sure.

This polish glows quite brightly and I had a lot of fun capturing pictures of the glow.

Glow in the dark polishes are just so much fun. I've always been fascinated with glow in the dark anything (as a child I covered an entire wall in my room with glow in the dark constellations that were only visible in the dark, my mom never even knew about them until I was much older!). How do you feel about glow in the dark polishes? Are they fun or too juvenile for you?
