Darling Diva Polish - Bad Girl and Sakura

*These products are Cruelty Free 



Tonight I have a couple of Darling Diva polishes to show you: Bad Girl and Sakura! I picked these to show you tonight because I've been rather stuck on Autumn for a while now and it is, after all, still summer. The first one, Sakura is perfect for summer! Bad Girl is an all-season polish.

KBShimmer Ice Queen - Swatches and Review

*This product is Cruelty Free 


It's SO hot here today I felt like cooling off a little with an icy cool polish - Today I have Ice Queen by KBShimmer Bath & Body for you.




Ice Queen is described by the maker as follows:

Holographic glitters float in an  almost clear polish, slightly silver blue in color. We start with micro fine  glitter, move to several hex glitters and finish with scattering of large  diamond glitter.


Type: Glitter Top Coat
Glitter Load: Heavy
Glitter Size: Micro to Large
Recommended Coats: 1 over color

I used one coat of Ice Queen over a violet creme polish, but it can be layered over any color. No issues at all with formula or application. Everything came out of the bottle nicely and spread evenly on the nail. No fishing for glitters or dabbing required. One coat of Poshe top coat for the photos.

Girly Bits Sofa King Messy - Swatches and Review

*This product is Cruelty Free 



"Sofa King Messy"

Sofa King Messy...say it three times really fast!

A damaged shipment of glitter (boo!) turned into a very pretty mix of glitters for the polish (yeah!). With the addition of a few extra ingredients to the glitters that we were able to salvage, Sofa King Messy was born.

It is a clear based glitter bomb filled with too many different glitters to list!

Previously gifted to a select few in our old "crystal" bottles, this release will be in our new printed label bottles.

365 Days of Color - Limited Edition Ermahgerd Murica

Press Sample 
*This product is Cruelty Free 


I have several gorgeous new polishes to show you from 365 Days of Color but I wanted to show you this one first and by itself because it's a Limited Edition Fourth of July/Independence Day polish that's only available through the 4th.


365 Days of Color Ermahgerd Murica


Ermahgerd Murica is a clear-based glitter polish "packed with red holo squares, red small hex glitter, blue holo squares, blue DOTS, white small hex glitter, white stars and silver holo squares."

Perfect for Fourth of July/Independence Day celebrations. I used 1 to 2 coats of this one over a gradient base of Illamasqua Force (blue) Illamasqua Ruthless (red) and a plain white creme to create gradients. I did not have to fish for, dab or "place" anything! How you see it on my nails is how it came randomly out of the bottle! (NOTE: As with all glitter polishes, I use a toothpick to scrape down the sides of the bottle and across the bottom to "float" the glitters before use. Just a habit but it works fantastically.) One coat of Poshe top coat to finish it off.

Emily de Molly - It's Just a Phase

Press Sample 
*This product is Cruelty Free 


I'm back with another lovely polish from Emily de Molly - It's Just a Phase.


Emily de Molly It's Just a Phase


Here's how Emily de Molly describes It's Just a Phase:

BASE - Clear. 
GLITTER - Neon pink hex, orange hex and bars and black hex glitter. 
Fishing may be required as the large glitters have a tendency to sink. A gentle shake before use will help distribute the glitter. 
OPAQUE - N/A (designed to be worn over a base colour)

No issues at all with this one. Everything came out of the bottle nicely, no digging, and spread nicely on the nail. Two light coats of It's Just a Phase over Kiko #400 and one coat of Poshe top coat for the photos.

Different Dimension - Time

Press Sample 
*This product is Cruelty Free 



Happy Tuesday! This morning I have another polish from Different Dimension's Echoes Collection to show you - Time. (If you've missed the others, you can click the links here: Comfortably Numb, Another Brick in the Wall and Wish You Were Here. And I still have a couple more to show you!)


Different Dimension Time - bottle macro


Time is described as "a clear base with grey, black and purple glitters in a variety of shapes and sizes. This polish may require some extra patience in applying and may be best dabbed on."

I actually didn't have any issues with it other than I dabbed on the larger glitters, which is common with polishes with the larger glitter pieces. I used one fairly heavy coat over Illamasqua Velocity and one generous coat of Poshe top coat for the photos. Sorry about my gnarly cuticles here. Hopefully the beauty of the polish will distract. ♥

LOL that big teardrop you see on my ring finger is a large heart under a large circle glitter piece. Love how it did that randomly. I think my favorite so far is Another Brick in the Wall but I liked this one too - it's the circle glitters that get me every time. What do you think of this one? Which is your favorite of this collection so far?

To purchase Different Dimension Polish – Check out her Etsy Shop or go to Llarowe. Full sized polishes retail for $8.50 per bottle. Also make sure you go to the Different Dimension Facebook Page and Llarowe's Facebook page and "like" for updates and  future collection and restock information.

Windestine Hearts of the Forest

Press Sample 
*This product is Cruelty Free 


Right now I have another great Windestine polish to show you - Hearts of the Forest!

Hearts of the Forest is described by the maker as follows: Hearts of the Forest represents Land in the 'Land, Sea, & Sky' collection. It consists of red hearts, brown hexagons, and green glitter in various shades, shapes, and sizes. Altogether there are 5 different glitters in this bottle!

I used one light coat and one slightly dabbed coat over Zoya Josie for the photos. No issues to report other than you may need to dab some of the larger glitters, like the hearts to get them where you want them. Overall, the polish and glitters spread nicely and lay flat on the nail. One generous coat of Poshe top coat for the photos.

Windestine - Girl with the Best Smile

Press Sample 
*This product is Cruelty Free 



I'm back with another polish from Windestine! Today I have Girl with the Best Smile for you.

Girl with the Best Smile is a clear-based glitter polish that the maker describes as follows: Girl With the Best Smile was inspired by one of my favorite songs. It consists of micro-fine light green glitter, fine pink glitter, and small lavender glitter. Perfect for spring & summer!

This polish was smooth and easy and had a great formula. I used one coat over a plain black creme and then one coat over Sinful Colors Dream On so you could get an idea that it will probably be great over anything. One coat of Poshe top coat for the photos. No issues to report at all.

Over plain black creme...

Speicher is "a delicate clear base polish with lots of thin gold and silver flakes in irregular sizes with blue iridescent flakes and blue/purple duo-chrome micro-shimmers."

What do you think of this one? Of course it can be layered over others colors, but I loved it over black because the color-shifts and irregular flakes really stand out.

JENsations Turn Off the Lights!

Press Sample 
*This product is Cruelty Free 



Happy Saturday! Today I have my first JENsations polish to show you - Turn Off the Lights!


"TURN OFF THE LIGHTS!" ---a mix of multi-sized matte neon pink, green, yellow & orange hexagon glitter in a white jelly base. Great glitter topper!

I used two light coats of this over a plain white creme base. I had no issues at all - the glitters came out easily and spread nicely on the nail. One coat of Poshe top coat for the photos. It's a very "happy" polish. I am having a bit of trouble with my hands with all this "Spring cleaning" though, so my apologies for that. *NOTE: the glitters are breaking down as you can see in the close-up photos, so I don't know how much longer the polish will be usable if they keep breaking down.

What do you think? Have you tried JENsations polish yet? I like that this is a glitter topper rather than a milky base. *NOTE: the glitters are breaking down as you can see in the close-up photos.

JENsations polishes are available at the JENsations Etsy store here and retail for $8.00 for full-sized bottles. You can also "like" JENsations on Facebook for more information.

Literary Lacquers My Secret Garden



I have another Literary Lacquers polish to show you this evening - this is part of a collection that launched today at noon - The Good Parts Collection - Erotic fiction from Fanny Hill to 50 Shades - this one is My Secret Garden. (Not to be confused with A Secret Garden, of course.)

My Secret Garden is a clear-based glitter polish with pink, lavender, blue, yellow and green matte hex glitters and a hefty dose of sparkle that comes out in the light. I had no issues at all with this one - glitters all came out easily and spread nicely on the nail. I used one coat over a sheer white to show off the colors. One coat of Poshe top coat for the photos.
