Nicole by OPI ~ Challenge Red-y

Hey!!! Its been a while since i posted. I just moved and its taken a while to get settled. But i am back and have a gorgeous polish to show uou. This is challenge red-y from Nicole by OPI. In the store one day i saw a special k bars box that said collect codes for free polish. Naturally i grabbed 5 boxes. When i got home i checked the fine print and all i had to do was enter 8 codes online. Those 8 codes got me a three piece collection. A pink a blue and this red. (I will show u the pink and blue in the next few posts :)) you can get just one bottle. That will take 3 codes. Not sure if you chose the color though. Anyways, this is such a pretty red. It looked so blah and basic in the bottle but as i put the coats on it seemed to get deeper in color. The formula was nice. Did have a few bald spots after 3 coats but the forth coat fixed that right up. Although using four coats is a bit excessive. I believe this is supposed to be a creme polish but it seemed more like a crelly to me! I decided to add a glitter gradient to it with this awesome gold holo glitter topcoat from nina ultra pro. The name is just holographic topcoat lol. Hope hou all enjoy the pics :)

Nail Sauce ~ Franken Berry

Hello!!! Here we have the wonderful franken berry from Nail Sauce. This polish was a little more sheer than it looked in the bottle. I used sinful colors candy coated as undies which is the perfect color match! :) the glitter mix is totally up my alley. Small hex that look yellow or neon green depending on the angle and small pink squares. Also micro blue and tiny pink hex. Just perfect!! And just like the other nail sauce i tried the formula was smooth and dried nicely. But this one i am keeping for myself. I just love it soooo much :) enjoy these shots!! Especially the macro!! :D

Nail Sauce ~ Salted Caramel

Hi everyone. I finally have some time to post :) just to catch you up my husband and i just moved on September 1st!! Which also happened to be my birthday!! So needless to say my bday wasnt exactly fun lol. Moving is hard work!! Tough on the hands. We still have some big things to move but as of now i jave yet to break a nail!! Yes i knocked on wood :) anyways tonight i have polish from the first ever indie brand i knew about. Salted caramel from Naill Sauce! This polish is a beautiful caramel nude with gold hexes and white glitters. I had a hard time getting good pics of this one. The application was really smooth and it dried in good time. Over all its not for me. I love everything about this polish, but i dont like the color against my skin tone. Since this was gifted to me i am just paying it forward to a very special friend :)  enjoy these pics :)

3 Little Monsters ~ la la loopsy collection

This brand is designed by 3 little girls whose mom owns disturbed potions!! Such a cute idea :) the theme of this set was la la loopsy. Even having 2 girls i dont know much about this doll... anywho i did swatch all of the polishes for you!! My favorite by far is of course the pink. I wanted to like the yellow one but i did have some issues. They are minis so i know they will get thick a little faster than a full size bottle but the yellow needed thinner as soon as i opened it. I liked it much more after that!! It also has heart glitter that i had issues showing because they are white and were easily lost under the yellow polish. It has a very pretty shimmer though which i couldnt capture in my pics. The blue was the same. As far as application with the pink and blue, it was a breeze. No glitter fishing and the perfect thin/thickness. Now for pics :)

L-R: Lala, Loops, Oopsy The macro bottle shot isnt color acurate but the nails are!! 2 coats over white This was 2 coats alone and i paired it with stardust polish's pink bikini!! This is 2 coats over sinful colors sweet nothing. It didnt need undies but it matched so well i couldnt help myself!! Not the best pic but i love it. Overall some great polishes!! Cant wait to try more!! Enjoy :)
