Different Dimension

Heavenly Waters

Heavenly Waters is a part of Different Dimension's Cosmologically Speaking Collection and it's a gorgeous "TARDIS blue" linear holographic polish. It's such a great blue I thought it went well with the TARDIS and since the new season of Doctor Who is getting into full swing now, it only seemed fitting to pair them up.

No issues with formula or application at all. Smooth and easy. I used 2 coats and no top coat for the photos.

What do you think? This one is a must have for me. The blue is just perfect.

To see swatches of the entire collection, please check out The Polishaholic's swatches here.

These can be purchased at the Different Dimension Etsy Store here or at the following e-tailers.

The White Witch Collection is made up of 12 gorgeous new linear holos and this is just one of the beauties. These were inspired by a certain TV show (I'm guessing American Horror Story: Coven) with a certain guest star (Stevie Nicks perhaps? since, well the name of the polish, duh!)

6 Harts Polish

Bad Bad Lulu Brown & Mountain Nights

Tonight I'm especially happy to be showing you two polishes I got to see manifest from pea-sized ideas to fruition and I have to say they both turned out better than I expected. And I know Courtney and was expecting bottles of gorgeous already. She really outdid herself on these two.

Bad Bad Lulu Brown was made for a mutual friend and brown-lover and Mountain Nights was inspired by a photograph of Courtney's beautiful Montana sky. I think she captured it perfectly.

Girly Bits

Flash Your Tips

Today I have a special, exclusive polish to show you from Girly Bits called Flash Your Tips and it's exclusive to the March A Box, Indied from Llarowe. The theme for March is Mardi Gras. Which makes the name of this polish even funnier!

Flash Your Tips is a gorgeous blue linear holographic polish with purple undertones and flashes in the sun. It also has gold and green micro-glitter which really pops in the shade, making this polish interesting both in strong light and shade. The formula and application were perfect. Smooth and easy. Two coats for all the photos. Top coat where indicated.

butter LONDON Petrol - Swatches and Review

Nothing to Disclose

*This product is Cruelty Free 

♥

Well, the collection I'm working on for you is delayed a bit but I have a pretty cool one from butter LONDON for you tonight - Petrol. I can't remember if I picked this one up at Dillard's or if I ordered through butter LONDON when they had a sale on. But clearly I swatched it when my nails were shorter, which makes this one another from the vault!

Petrol is described as an "opalescent sheen of oil reflected in rain" and it really does remind me of an oil slick!  This one is a sort of blue to purple duo-chrome that can be worn alone or as a topper. I've used 3 coats of this one alone - as sheer as it looked going on with the first coat, I was pretty sure it would take 4 or 5 coats but it didn't! At the end, I've layered it over black on my accent nail. I actually liked it both ways. The formula is fairly thin, as is the nature of this type of polish, but not troublesome and about what you'd expect in a topper. I didn't have any issues with flooding my cuticles though. Three coats and no top coat.

Scofflaw Nail Varnish Winter 2014 Collection: I Am the Narwhal

Press Sample

Tonight continues swatches of the new Scofflaw Winter 2014 Collection set to launch January 5th, 2013. Right now I have I Am the Narwhal to show you.

Here's what the creator had to say about this collection and her inspiration: Now, you may have noticed I don't really do 'collections', per se. Only in the most vague way. If the winter collection had a theme, it would be the idea of 'comfort'. My go-to colors. Colors that make me feel cozy. Polish names that give me a warm fuzzy - you get the idea!

Scofflaw Nail Varnish

Winter 2013 Collection

I've decided to give each one of these beauties its own post so I could show you both in artificial lighting and indirect natural lighting without trying to keep it short. Then I will do a round-up post so they'll all be in one place for future reference.

Kiko 385 "Pastel Blue" - Swatches and Review - and a Comparison

Nothing to Disclose

*This product is Cruelty Free 

♥

I swear the Kiko names get lost in translation from Italian to English because this one is not what I would call pastel blue - at least to MY eyes! Maybe a Cornflower Blue? But it's such a gorgeous shade that you know I had to show it.

Kiko 385

This one is a vibrant blue that also has a touch of purple making it *almost* a periwinkle but not quite, I just couldn't capture it. The formula, as is the norm with Kiko, is like butter. Smooth and easy.

Girly Bits Cosmetics

Go And Shake A Tower

Go And Shake a Tower is a holographic multi-chrome polish with color shifts from deep navy blue, purple, violet, red, turquiose, gold, copper and I think I see green in there too! The formula and application were perfect so I have no issues to report at all. Maker suggests 3 coats or one coat over black for best results, but I found 2 coats of this one to be perfect. Two coats and no top coat for the photos. Core Collection.

No one does spoonerisms better than Girly Bits and this one actually took me a few seconds! Go and take a shower. LOL!
