Pahlish Valley of Ashes - Swatches and Review ♥

Press Sample

Good evening everyone! I have my very first Pahlish polish to show you tonight and I super love it!

Pahlish Valley of Ashes (artificial lighting)

The maker describes this polish as, "Medium gray creme base with teal-pink shifting glassfleck shimmer and scattered holographic microglitter."  That description is spot-on and I loved this polish so much that I stopped in the middle of a swatching session and ended up wearing it for 2 days!

*All of the bubbles seen in these photos are from my topcoat, not the polish.

Stay tuned after the jump!

What's In My Bag? ♥

Good evening! I have a different type of post for you tonight and I hope you enjoy it! Several of my friends and fellow bloggers thought it would be fun to do a "What's In My Bag?" post so here's mine!

I switch my purse around fairly often depending on the day, occasion, etc. but this is the one I have been carrying the most often lately. This was a surprise gift from my friend Kim over at The Ides of Polish a few months ago and I just love it! 

Stay tuned after the jump to see what's in my bag!

Paint Box Polish In the Groove and Two Right Feet from The Summer Heat Collection ♥

Press Sample

Good morning! How about kicking off a new week with swatches from a brand new collection? Paint Box Polish is launching a brand new collection called Summer Heat on Wednesday, June 26th and I have two of them to show you now! 

I also have a coupon code for my readers so stay tuned until the end for that!

The Summer Heat Collection is inspired by the bright neon colors that Pam, the creator of Paint Box Polish, sees in her Zumba classes. I love neons and these are all great! 

These polishes are made up of black circle glitters, black square glitters and iridescent micro-flakes in a colored jelly/crelly base. I was so surprised by the iridescent micro-flakes! I love the micro-flakes! The formula on both of these polishes was fantastic! I didn't have an issue getting the large circle glitters out and onto my nail at all. Any bubbles in the photos are from my topcoat, not the polish.

Rainbow Honey Tessie, Mint Flavor and Magic Cake from The Summer of 199X Collection ♥

Press Sample

Happy Thursday, everyone! I have 3 of the new releases from Rainbow Honey's Summer of 199X Collection to show you today! 

Rainbow Honey presents its newest collection, Summer of 199X featuring 10 new colors inspired by the 1995 SNES hit, Earthbound. 

“Another video game that holds a special place in my heart! I wanted this collection to bring me back into the game, and I think each new lacquer takes me to a special moment or reminds me of a certain boss that resulted in one too many Game Over’s...Part I is made up of 5 new glitterbombs bursting with shimmer and color - they all layer to opacity but can be used over other colors as well. Part II is 3 new shimmer-dusted cremes and 2 new glitter toppers that give each creme a bold or sweet look. I am so excited to add these all to our lineup!” – Dee

SoFlaJo Not 2Nite, I've Got A Haddock from the Wet Dreams Collection! ♥

Press Sample

Hello lovelies! I am so excited about the polish I have to show you tonight! SoFlaJo recently launched a brand new collection called the Wet Dreams Collection (gotta love the name!) I will have one more from this collection to show you very soon but the one I have for you tonight was a surprise polish that I was shocked to receive in the mail today! (To see the other polishes in this collection you can visit Pointless Cafe's post here.) 

Why was I shocked? Well, for a couple of reasons - one, I thought I had seen all of the polishes in this collection and two, when I saw the name I was even more surprised! You may or may not know that my last name is Haddock. The names of the polishes in this collection are quite clever play-on-words and ocean-based - and Haddock is a type of fish. When I saw the name of this polish I laughed out loud! So here is Not 2Nite, I've Got A Haddock!

Dandy Nails Choke on a Kiss - Swatches and Review ♥

Press Sample

Happy Friday! I have another new release from Dandy Nails to show you today!

Choke on a Kiss is such a fun polish and just full of awesome color combination possibilities! I can see this looking amazing over so many colors - I want to try it over aqua next time! Choke in a Kiss is black, grey and pink glitters in a clear base but the surprise is the purple shimmer -  it really makes this polish pop and I just love it! I had a hard time capturing the shimmer with my camera so I included a bottle shot at the end where you can see it better. It shows up on the nail much better than it seems in my photos.

The Nail Junkie Neon Shimmer Jelly Gradient ♥

Personal Collection

Happy Thursday! We are creeping closer and closer to the weekend. Has this week seemed to be in slow motion to anyone else or is it just me? I needed something to perk up my mood and this mani did the trick!

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you probably saw my amazing nail mail last night. I can't tell you how much I have wanted the rest of the Nail Junkie Neon Shimmers (I already had Green Apple and it can be seen here) and when I finally got them I couldn't wait to put them on! 

The Nail Junkie Nail Mail

I will have proper swatches of these for you guys soon but I couldn't wait to try some fun summer nail art when I got them! (If you would like to see full swatches you can visit Pointless Cafe.) 

And before we get to the photos I have to say that Cutie Drops, a brand new product from The Nail Junkie, is AMAZING! I used it when my polish was still very wet (right after applying top coat) and touched my nail (carefully but not overly cautious) and it didn't smudge at all. Plus it conditioned my cuticles! It was extremely east to use as the dropper is easy to control. I will be buying this again!

3D Stampwich using Dandy Nails Highest Ground and Zoya Frida ♥

Good evening! I have a quick "stampwich" for you tonight! (If you missed my first stampwich, you can see it here.) 

I created this mani on my mom over the weekend and I loved it so I re-created it on myself! It reminds me of the ocean! (This stamping image *might* remind me of something else as well but I'll let you figure that one out. LOL)

3D Stamping "Stampwich" with The Nail Junkie Green Apple ♥

Personal Collection

I have been wanting to show you all this NOTD (that turned into 3 days worth of nail of the days - I just did not want to take it off!). If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you might have seen the photo I posted last Thursday night when I did this mani - it's much faster to post a quick little preview on there than it is to write up a post so sometimes my manis are seen on there way before they make it to my blog (and sometimes I show ones on those platforms that I never get around to blogging).
