Glittering Elements~ Take it to the Grave

Afternoon all! Today I want to bring you one of 3 polishes I received in a giveaway by Glittering Elements. This one that I will bring to you today is Take it to the Grave. Take it to the Grave is from the Secret Trio (Secret Keeper and Shh Don't Tell).

These are Linear Holo goodness polishes!












Glittering Elements is an Indie maker and resides in Australia (Made in the Land of Oz). She ships worldwide.








Here is Take it to the Grave, Outside with the flash on! See the holo goodness. No Topcoat (none of the pictures have topcoat on). I wanted the polish to show its beauty without topcoat!








                                                                      Without Flash








                                                

                      And Inside shot with a light shining on it, really showed the holo in it!


What can I say about Take it to the Grave accept amazing, the formula was outstanding, no issues with working with the polish at all! Went on smooth as butter .. and I did do 3 coats just cause I am in low light where I was applying and wanted to make sure I covered it all.

The first coat I put on was thin but the second coat evened it out with NO problems whatsoever. When you are in dim light and then you get into like the sun and look at your nails, its like WOW! You will be staring at your nails, so much sure you aren't driving haha.

Anyways, Glittering Elements has out done herself with this polish/trio. If you haven't heard of her definitely check her out! She has an etsy store : http://www.etsy.com/shop/GlitteringElements
And her facebook page is: https://www.facebook.com/GlitteringElements


Over all, I'm real happy with Take it to the Grave. I can't wait to put on the other two! I definitely suggest her and she is a great person to work with!!


Until Later Keep Polishin' and Colorful!

Sally Hansen Sugar Coat


     Hey Everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! Today I bring you 4 Sally Hansen Sugar Coats that I found on clearance at a Target, on a trip I was taking with my family at the time. I honestly don't know how many their is in this part of the collection! I am glad I got these 4!

Alright, in this post you'll see Sour Apple, Cotton Candies, Bubble Plum and Razzle-berry. I can't wait to show you these pictures, so let's do that now.
                                                              Sour Apple, with flash




                                                     Sour Apple, without flash (and closer)


                                                      Cotton Candies, without flash




                                                      Cotton Candies, with flash




 
                                                             Bubble Plum, with flash


                                                     Bubble Plum, without flash


                                                      Razzle-berry without flash


I was actually impressed with this collection, only because I had trouble with China Glaze Texture collection with it being so gritty, but definitely not the Sally Hansen Sugar Coat. It applied like a DREAM and oh yeah no topcoat whatsoever, the hubby said I didn't let them dry and I said yes I did hehe, that should tell ya how shiny it was.


My only downfall on this was after I took Razzle-berry off it stained my nails :( but its all good, it is still a very pretty blue and I would be forgiving and wear it again.

Other than the staining from Razzle-berry (which by the way is my favorite out of this collection) I don't have anything bad to say about it, taking it off was a piece of cake, none of the grittiness I thought I was gonna have from it.

I am a purple fan, however Bubble Plum didn't give me the WOW factor. So, it has made it to my least favorite list.

I had fun swatching these and I hope you guys enjoyed this post and the pictures. This collection would actually be a contender in what would be my favorite textured collection. And that says a lot!!


Like I said I found these at a Target and they were on clearance. They were less than 2.00 a piece, maybe a Target near you still has some! Definitely get the Razzle-berry (haha).

Well until later,

Keep Polishin' and Colorful

Honey Button Nail Polish





Hey Everyone! Hope you had a fantastic week! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

I have a question for ya'll, have you ever heard of Honey Button Nail Polish? Well, if not do I have a treat for you today!!! Get ready, cause this is gonna be a pretty cool blog today! So, seriously let's get started! I'll show you the pictures and then I'll talk to you about the polishes and Honey Button (can't wait)!

 
 
 


As you see, the both have different labels, well with Honey Button Nail Polish (Let's do HBNP for short) you can chose your own labels, that is right you can! At HBNP she is great to work with and will help you determine what is best for you, oh did I forget to mention she also does your own custom nail polish as well! I saw one on facebook that she did just the other day for a birthday party! It was adorable!

The Top polish I created because it what I believe in my walk with God (no no preachin')and the second one is created for preemie babies, since my 2 (almost 3) year old was a preemie and Prematurity day is coming up in Nov, I thought this fit and perfect with the colors for prematurity day!

Anyways, as you see in the top picture I am wearing the red one and let me tell you the polish was a dream to put on! And oh my, it was gorg. I got compliments on it for sure! The red one has scattered holo in it, if I had been in the sun more for that picture it would have shown more of the holo, but since I was in a place where I couldn't, it is still gorgeous!

This is how cool this is, one of my friend's got a label with Jasper on it from Twilight. Are there any Twilight fans? She can definitely put that on there for you! Seriously, she is the greatest! I can't wait to order more, I have an idea for a friend of mine's daughter who like Paris themed stuff!

So, wait are you waiting for check her out at: https://www.facebook.com/HoneyButtonsNailPolish


She does do memorial polishes as well and those are 8.00 and her normal ones are 5.00, again GREAT to work with!!!


So, until Later Keep Polishin' and Keep Colorful!
