Liquid Sky Lacquer~ Wine & Roses


     Evening All! I hope this post finds ya'll enjoying your Saturday and hope it was relaxing one! Honestly, the only thing I did was run to Sally's this morning and being lazy rest of the day (love days like that).


     Tonight, I have a post for you that I don't know if many have heard of before or not, this is an indie polish maker. And it is Liquid Sky Lacquer. I only recently heard about her from another blogger friend of mine!



    So, tonight I bring you Wine & Roses. This polish is a Thermal Changing polish! Cool right? Wait til you see the pictures! I actually bought this polish from a friend of mine and I know when I got it I couldn't wait to try it out!

      Let me show you guys the pictures! The first picture is the actual bottle shot with how it looks when it is not doing the thermal thing (funny right?), so let's get to it:









Ladies (and gentlemen) let me introduce you to Wine & Roses by Liquid Sky Lacquers. This was an indoor shot and can you see how much darker it is in the bottle compared to my nails. Yeah it gets better.  Let's move on to the next picture!








There is the beauty, oh did I forget to tell you all this polish also has scattered holo in it? Oh yeah, this is definitely a polish that has beauty. As you see in this picture my tips are darker than the rest of the nail. I held my fingers in front of the a/c in the car and within secs the 'Wine' shows up.








Even though this is a blurry picture, it definitely shows the holo more in it. This is a beauty for sure! Hubby told me I was having WAY to much fun with this polish, getting it to change colors (He was right I was). Even in Sally's today it turned on me and even at one point today looked like a gradient was going on, now that was cool to see!







Okay, last picture before I go! This one was taken with no flash and the sun was hitting it! Even if you can't totally see the holo in it, is has a lot going for it, 1: it's pretty and 2: it changes color (who doesn't like that, :D ).


This polish was fun to put on after I did 3 coats of this polish (I was having fun watching it get lighter after I put it on, yes I stopped at 3) and when I did a topcoat it changed the tips like you see above! Maybe, this polish was a little bit to much fun to play with, but isn't that what is the fun part about polish anyways?


I honestly can't tell you which color I like more! At one point earlier I said I liked the 'Wine' better and now I'm thinking the 'Roses'. If you have this polish what is your favorite?


This was an easy polish to work with! Like I said I had to make myself stop after 3 coats because I having fun watching the colors change!  The application of this polish was a dream, definitely couldn't ask for a better polish as far as the application is concerned!

So, if you liked this polish or thought it was just cool go check out Liquid Sky Lacquer on Facebook. And follow her there while you are there! Here is the link to her facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LiquidSkyLacquer  and a link to her store: http://www.liquidskylacquer.bigcartel.com/

Well, I had to bring this cool polish, I know I just posted one with Just Keep Swimming, but I couldn't keep this polish to myself :D

Until next time Keep Polishin' and Keep Colorful!

Different Dimensions~ Just Keep Swimming


Hey Everyone, Hope you are having a great week! Today on the blog I have Different Dimensions' Just Keep Swimming.

2 things about this polish, 1. Finding Nemo was the first movie and date that the hubby and I went on. So I just knew I needed to have this polish! And I am so glad I have it! 2. It is very shy without the flash on, makes me sad that it is this shy, but still in love with it!

I'm gonna show you 3 pictures all without topcoat, so let's go!





This is in the cloudy start to the day, as you see it is very shy (I could see the perfection of holo on it when I was out there this morning). But like I said it is a shy polish.




This is with flash, same cloudy start of the day.
 
 
 
 
 

                                      This is inside with flash, look at that holo goodness.
 
Even the hubby loves it, I ABSOLUTELY love the blue, it an amazing blue and I think Missi did a great job capturing the blue color of the water!!!

This polish was a breeze to put on (even at 5 am)! As are a lot of Different Dimension's polishes. All pictures are shown with 2 coats and no topcoat! Even sitting here in the semi dark (except for the tv and computer on) I'm looking at my nails and the blue is so vibrant that I just can't quit staring at them, she really nailed this one! I know I have said it a lot in this post, but I really do Love this polish!!!

Just Keep Swimming is sold at Missi's Different Dimensions Etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/DIFFERENTdimension

And her facebook page is: https://www.facebook.com/DIFdimension/info , make sure you go and like her page, to watch for upcoming polishes, giveaways or a sale!

Well I hope you all are and have enjoyed Just Keep Swimming as much as I have!

Until Later, Keep Polishin' and Keep Colorful

Above the Curve~ Caty Perry-winkle

Evening All! Tonight I have a awesome polish to show you! It is made by one of my favorite Indie's Above the Curve. So, I'm so excited to show you this polish, so let's get started... Here we go:












This is outside with no flash (sorry the sun was starting to go down by the time I got to taken this pic).




                                                   Indoors with Flash (see the holo, oh yeah)


First off Above the Curve out did themselves on this polish! I have to say right here and now that this is one of my favorites from Above the Curve.


This polish is a Perry-winkle color, they got it spot on! Mr. Mani's says in the bedroom light it looks purple and when the sun hits it definitely brings the blue out and man it is stunning when it does this!

In both photos there is no topcoat! That is how shiny it is all on its own! I will admit I debating about using a topcoat at all, and I finally did!

This polish glided on with ease. 2 coats and that was all it took, you could do one thick coat if you so feel the desire to do so. This has to me linear and scattered holo (I know how can it have both)? But at times in scatteredness I can see the holo more and in just moving it very slowly it looks linear to me. I know confusing (sorry).

This polish is beyond amazing! 2 days on and no chips! I have to say I believe this would be my 'go to polish'.

Again if you don't have this or heard of Above the Curve you are missing out!!!

Here is Above the Curve's facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/AboveTheCurveNailPolish?fref=ts

Retails for: 9.00 but every 1.00 goes to Shriners (so please keep that in mind and help out for a good cause). They are an awesome team and the like to please!!!

Oh, since I said this was my 'go to polish'. Do you have one??


Until later! Keep polishin' and colorful!

Above the Curve: The Midnight Blues




Hey ya'll! Hope you all are having a fantastic week, rather you are on vacation for the 4th of July or not! Today, I bring you Above the Curve; The Midnight Blues! I will post the pictures then give my opinions. Ready? Let's go!











                                   This was taken outside in the sunlight (I believe with flash)




                                                    This was an inside shot with flash




                       Inside shot with the sun shining in thru the window with no flash


Midnight Blues is a beautiful medium grey color with blue undertones to it, in a linear holo. I do have to say this is a very shy polish! Until it hits the sunlight, you don't even know the holo is there! But man, when it does hit the right light (rather its sunlight or any other light) it is a stunner!

I do like this polish, I could see it being a better fall polish or just for the rainy days! But if you don't have this in your collection (especially if you are an indie collector) then do get this one!

The application was easy to apply and I was not disappointed in that at all, I did not put a topcoat on in these pictures cause I was excited to show this off and get it in the sunlight!

If you haven't heard about Above the Curve, they are a husband and wife team who help raise money for Shriner's, 1.00 of every polish bought goes to the Shriner's.

Check them out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AboveTheCurveNailPolish?fref=ts

Also, they do a fun Friday every Friday so make sure you get involved with that and see if you can win a free polish! But for sure check them out!


Until later, Keep Polishin' and Keep Colorful!
