KBShimmer - Mega Flame Collection

Hello again!

Press Sample

I have the other half of the KBShimmer Spring collection for you today.  This half is called the Mega Flame Collection and consists of 7 super blingy polishes in a rainbow of colors.  At first glance, you may think it looks similar to the Birthstone Collection but it is different.  These polishes have more of a jelly finish that is jam packed with holographic microglitter.  These polishes released this Spring but are definitely not just for Spring.  They can be worn year round and there is a color for everyone in here.  I really, really like this set!  These are available now, so no need to wait around.  Go over to the site and snag your faves right away.  Let's take a look at all of the sparkle!

Nine Zero Lacquer - Spring 2016 Collection

Hi loves!

Press Sample

Is it starting to feel like Spring where you are?  I live in Florida, so we don't really have typical seasons.  But I have the Spring bug and am loving the cool and breezy weather.  This new Spring collection from Nine Zero Lacquer expresses my feelings about Spring in polish.  They are colorful but not too pastel.  They are delicate but still sparkly as hell.  There are five shades in this collection and I have a hard time choosing a favorite.  These are available for pre-order right now, so lets take a closer look at these pretties!

Nine Zero Lacquer - Thanksgiving Trio

Hi babes!

Press Sample

I have a gorgeous little holiday trio to share with you tonight from a new indie brand.  Nine Zero Lacquer is the brain child of a favorite nail polish YouTuber of mine, Jessface90.  If you have never seen her live application swatch videos before, you are missing out.  Jessica has been around the indie nail polish scene for a while now, so she has seen all of the trends and all of the formula issues that other polishes have had.  This previous indie knowledge really shows because her brand new indie line is pretty freaking perfect.  I have purchase a handful of her polishes from her inaugural collection and they were the quality you would expect from a veteran indie polish brand.  No joke.  So, I was super thrilled to be asked to review her holiday collections and I can't wait to share them with you!

Lavish Polish - Scouts Unite Collection

Hey all!

Press Sample

I have some delicious sparkly polishes from Lavish Polish to share with you tonight.  Lavish Polish makes some of my favorite crelly polishes.  But Emely sure knows how to make a nice glitter, too!  The Scouts Unite Collection is a 5 piece set of polishes inspired by Sailor Moon.  I am familiar with Sailor Moon but I haven't really watched the show (shame on me), but I still think they polishes match the photos and stories that I have seen/heard about the cartoon.  This collection launch yesterday afternoon so you can go out and buy these polishes now!  Lets get into some swatches :)

Powder Perfect - The Upper Kingdom Collection

Happy Sunday!

Press Sample

This weekend, I have some super sparkly beauties to share with you all.  I was sent the Powder Perfect Upper Kingdom Collection from my favorite indie nail polish stockist, Color4Nails.  I have been purchasing international indie brands from Color4Nails for a very long time now (since they were just a Facebook page and took orders via email 2 years ago!).  They are my go to stockist and I love them.  Prices are great and they ship quickly.  So, as you can imagine, I was pretty excited to become part of their blogger team to help promote new collections they are stocking.

I have been eyeing this Australian brand for a while now as well.  Powder Perfect has a great range to holographics and glitters that are quite eye catching and I have heard rave reviews about them.  Well...this collection of 5 full coverage microglitters did not disappoint!  The Upper Kingdom Collection is inspired by Ancient Egypt.  I am truly loving this collection and it makes me want to try even more of Powder Perfect's line.  The formulas were perfect and opaque in two coats.  Let's get into some swatches and macros!

Virago Varnish - Enchanting Sirens picks

Hi all!

Press Sample

I have some stunners to share with you today!  I have been ogling over Virago Varnish for months now.  My pal, Holly, has been posting rave reviews on her YouTube channel and making me NEED these sparkly babies.  I resisted for a while, but then the Enchanting Sirens collection launched and I couldn't help myself.  Luckily for me, the creator of Virago Varnish, Adrienne, saw my gushings on Instagram and sent me my faves for swatching and review.  Yippee!!  So...I have four polishes from the collection to share.  Are you ready?!?


First, let's talk about "Entice".  She is a eggplant purple jelly that is jam packed full of golden/coppery holographic microglitter.  This was pretty opaque in one coat but I did two to even it all out for this swatch.  It does dry a little matte and gritty, so a good thick top coat really makes the holo glitter pop.  I love pairing purple and gold together!

Next, is "Temptress" which is a fiery orange.  This polish was less opaque than the others I tried but was still good with only two coats for me.  The jelly base is definitely orange with a strong red tint but it looks much more red in my photos that it did in real life.  Again, this was packed with gold holographic microglitter and needed a glossy top coat to smooth it out.  On fire!

"Melody" is awesome!  This has a clear base overflowing with gold holographic microglitter.  I only used two coats to get it fully opaque.  I found this tone of gold to be quite unique.  It's not too yellow.  It's not really a champagne.  I would call it dirty gold :)  Again, a good glossy top coat makes all the difference with bringing out the holo.

I saved the best for last.  "Harmony" is just...gah...stunning!  I don't have anything quite like this polish in my collection (and that is a feat!).  When I first saw swatches of this, I thought it was a dark brown microglitter.  But no.  It is actually a black jelly base stuffed to the brim with that same golden/coppery holographic microglitter.  I feel my photos pale in comparison to the actual beauty of this polish in real life.  I used two coats with a glossy top coat for these swatches.

What do you think?  Gorgeous, right?  There are 3 other polishes in this collection and Virago Varnish has many other holographic microglitters in their catalog.  Make sure to check them out and let me know if you end up trying any of these beauties yourself.
