Sassy Cats Lacquer ~ Feb. '19 PPU + IPU
*Provided for review
Hello! It's Friday 😊 That means there is only 1 week left until Polish Pickup goes live!! I hope you are getting excited. There are so many good things this month. The theme famous duos has produced such amazing creativity. Today we are looking at a duo from Sassy Cats Lacquer, based on Lilo & Stitch! Let's check it out.
Lilo & Stitch duo |
Stitch Steals A Ride! is a "bubblegum pink polish filled with blue, pink, purple glowing shifting chroma flakes with gold shimmer." Another polish filled with amazing flakies! I know you're going broke this month! My favorite thing about this polish is actually the shimmer. It gives the polish this subtle warmness. It's just breathtaking. The formula is a little sheer so layering over a similar color is totally possible. It polishes nicely though so layering it over itself won't get too thick. I prefer it over itself, of course, because it adds to the amount of flakes you can see <3 I used 3 thin coats plus glossy and matte top coats for my swatches. Stitch Steals A Ride! will be $12 USD.

Next is Aloha Lilo. This one is a "Hawaiian punch scented quick dry top coat". I used Aloha Lilo over my nail art and I am happy to report there was no smudging! It dries quick and smells like my childhood lol.
Aloha Lilo will be $7 USD.

Are you putting these on your list? There will be 75 bottles of Stitch Steals A Ride! available and 40 bottles of Aloha Lilo available. Have your wish list ready for faster check out! Have a good Friday y'all ❤

LE Polish ~ Feb. '19 PPU
*Provided for review
Hi guys! Hope you are all prepping for the upcoming Polish Pickup. The theme for February is Famous Duos and its a good one. Tons of really great, creative ideas. LE Polish has my favorite concept for the term duo... Dolly Parton's "Famous Duo"!

Having Our Own Party is "a pale peach crelly with various flakies and red to gold shifting shimmer." This polish is perfect. The base color will flatter any skin tone. The intense amount of flakies is sooo good. The formula is almost self polishing. I can't get enough of this crelly! The flakies range in size and there are SO MANY COLORS! Sorry for being so blunt about it all but this polish doesn't really need to be elaborated on. The pics say it all. If you are a flakie lover this polish is a must have!! 😍❤ I used 2 coats plus glossy and matte top coats for my swatches. I chose upside down hearts for art because its the most G rated way to make boobs lol! And if you don't like that, flip it around and you have a cute Valentine's Day mani!! Having Our Own Party will be $12 USD.

Moonflower Polish ~ PPU Feb. '19
*Provided for review
Hey! Who here had Barbies when they were little? I was never super into all the stuff she came with like the horse and the car. I just really liked to dress them and do their hair. How about Ken? I had the one with the roller blades that actually sparked! Ugh, the memories 💗 Was there ever really a more iconic duo? Moonflower Polish is bring you half of this duo with a Barbie neon pink polish. It is freaking fabulous and I have a bunch of pictures of it so get comfy!!
Ken, I Pink I Love You "is a super bright neon pink creme with indigo-blue aurora pigment and blue microflakes". My camera and my phone both gave me trouble taking pics of this polish. That has never happened to me! This polish is really just that neon. I love the shimmer it has. The shimmer and flakies show up SO GOOD when stamped over black. And, the polish stays that super neon pink when stamped. It is a neon lovers dream. Also a pink lovers dream. The formula is great. 2 easy coats with glossy and matte top coats for my swatches. I kept the art as Barbie-ish as possible! Ken, I Pink I Love You will be $12.50 USD. Sorry in advance for my funky looking skin!

Glisten & Glow ~ Birthday Quad
*Provided for review
*Picture heavy
Hi everyone 👋 I hope you are all having a great new year so far! Today is Jill's Birthday and to celebrate she has this fantastic quad available! In my opinion, these are the best G&G's yet ❤ Let's jump right in because they are available today and you are gonna wanna grab them!
They are gorgeous aren't they? I'm just going to show them in the order I swatched them. I ended up liking the first and second ones the most!
It's Capricorn Season is a medium grey crelly loaded with a rainbow of UCC flakies and a strong pink/purple shimmer. If you catch it at the right tilt, the shimmer is also green. This one is so freaking awesome! Formula is absolutely perfect. All of the polishes in this quad are flawless really. I didn't realize how much I loved grey polish until I had this on my nails. Especially with the rainbow of flakies happening. I could not stop staring at it and I put it back on as soon as my swatches were done. The art I did is the Capricorn astrology sign. I am very proud of it lol. I used 2 prefect coats plus G&G glossy and matte top coats for my swatch. It's Capricorn Season will be $9.75 USD.

Thirty Eight & Great is a medium dusty purple crelly polish with blue UCC flakies and royal blue to aqua unicorn shimmers. Omg this one 😍 The blue everything against this shade of purple is to die for. The components of this polish were made to be put together. Flawless formula of course! 2 coats plus G&G glossy and matte top coats for my swatches. Thirty Eight & Great will be $9.75 USD.

38 Wishes is a ultra marine blue scattered holo with pink to purple UCC flakies, bronze to orange UCC flakies, and loaded with green to gold color shifting shimmers. I expected this to be sheer. I was super impressed and surprised when it covered fully in 2 perfect coats. The shimmer in this polish is very strong. I thought this was a duo chrome at first. 2 coats with G&G glossy and matte top coats for my swatches. 38 Wishes will be $9.75 USD.

1981 is a dark indigo purple to medium grape purple holographic thermal polish with blue shimmers and a sprinkling of silver holo micro glitters. Yup, gorgeous! The thermal shift is subtle but so very pretty. Thermals are so much fun. All purple lovers will need this polish in their collection 💜 Again, this polish was absolutely perfect. 2 coats plus G&G glossy and matte top coats for my swatches. 1981 will be $9.75 USD.
