Chirality Nail Polish Kale - Swatches and Review

It's MONDAY! wewt

BUT, I do have a gorgeous polish to show you today though - Chirality Nail Polish's Kale.

Kale is a medium-to-dark green holographic polish that I would describe this holo as a very tightly scattered or a loose linear. The holo in these remind me of the holo properties of AquaDaisy Shazaam or the a-England Legends. This polish, as all of Amanda's other gorgeous polishes, is B3Free and cruelty free. Application was smooth and easy and this could be a one-coater but I used two coats out of habit. Most of the photos show you the finish without top coat and the last two show it with one coat of Poshe. I actually prefer the satin finish, but the top coat didn't diminish the holo properties at all. No issues to report at all.

And with one coat of Poshe top coat...

I ordered Kale and accidentally ordered Apollonia (the blurple version of Kale) instead of The Symbiote so for sure my next order will include The Symbiote, Cu2+, Bloodshot...oh who am I kidding? I will end up with all the holos. Have you tried Chirality yet?

I *think* the correct pronunciation is kī-rāl'ĭ-tē.

Chirality Nail Polishes are available on her Big Cartel site here and you can also follow her on Facebook here and Twitter here to stay up-to-date on re-stocks, specials, new swatches, etc. Polishes are B3-Free and cruelty free and retail for $7 for full-sized, hexagonal-shaped 15ml bottles.

Laquerlicious Fall Back - Swatches and Review

This evening I have the second polish from a new-to-me indie polish to show you. Laquerlicious is a hand-poured nail polish brand started in August 2012 by Michelle. Michelle has been a manicurist for 18 years and finally decided to start creating her own nail polish. And yes, she left the C out of Laquerlicious on purpose. *grin* All Laquerlicious polishes are B3-Free.

The one I'll be showing you this morning is Fall Back. This one is described by the maker as a light golden brown with a slight teal duochrome flash with tiny orange and teal hex glitter. BUT, also hidden inside are some short bar glitters scattered throughout. This polish was opaque in two coats and smooth to the touch with one coat of Poshe. I didn't have any trouble at all with application. I've used two coats on all fingers except the pinky finger which only has one coat. This one also looks good layered over a brown base.

Laquerlicious Fall Back

What do you think of this one? Love the name and it is quite autumnal!

Laquerlicious polishes can be purchased through her Etsy Store here or her Big Cartel Store here and retail for $8.50 for full-sized bottles. You can also follow her on Instagram under Creativenailchick or on Twitter @NailChickMich.

Laquerlicious Strawberry Cosmo - Swatches and Review

Good Sunday Morning!

This morning I have a new-to-me indie polish to show you. Laquerlicious is a hand-poured nail polish brand started in August 2012 by Michelle. Michelle has been a manicurist for 18 years and finally decided to start creating her own nail polish. And yes, she left the C out of Laquerlicious on purpose. *grin* All Laquerlicious polishes are B3-Free.

The one I'll be showing you this morning is Strawberry Cosmo. This one is a magenta holographic glitter that is one of those true sparklebombs that is nearly impossible to capture. There are also some medium hex glitters scattered throughout that just randomly appear on the nail giving it even more visual interest. This polish was opaque in two coats and surprisingly was completely smooth to the touch with one coat of Poshe. I didn't have any trouble at all with application. The formula appears to be pure suspension base.

Laquerlicious Strawberry Cosmo

What do you think of this one? It is SO much more sparkly than I could capture.

Laquerlicious polishes can be purchased through her Etsy Store here or her Big Cartel Store here and retail for $8.50 for full-sized bottles. You can also follow her on Instagram under Creativenailchick or on Twitter @NailChickMich.

Girly Bits Hot Toddy - Swatches and Review

And still want MORE Girly Bits you say? Again, I say no problem!

This morning, I have another one of her Winter 2012 Collection (Season of Sparkle) polishes to show you - Hot Toddy! This is still currently available on her Big Cartel shop.

Hot Toddy is described by the maker as a warm red, with gold and red micro shimmer. Reminiscent of sipping a hot toddy with cinnamon sticks by the glowing embers of a fire on a cold winter's night. Full coverage in two coats. Perfect description. Two easy coats, no issues to report at all. It's a crelly (creme/jelly hybrid) and application was smooth. Shown below with two coats of Hot Toddy and one coat of Poshe top coat.

Girly Bits Hot Toddy

What do you think of this one? This is such a "Sheila" color - in the red family but not cherry. It's like a

Gluehwein, which makes a great alternative Hot Toddy...

All Girly Bits Lacquers are hand poured, using the highest quality ingredients including B3Free lacquer base, mica, pigments and glitters.

Hot Toddy is cruelty free and not tested on animals. It comes in a standard full size 15ml bottle embellished with a genuine Swarovski crystal, and contains two stainless steel beads to help keep your product mixed.

Girly Bits polishes are available on Big Cartel and are also available at Overall Beauty, MeiMei's Signatures, Harlow & Co. and llarowe.com for $10 to $13 retail for full .5 oz bottles. Don't forget to follow Pam at Girly Bits on Facebook and on her blog for updates and re-stock information. Also be sure to follow Overall Beauty on Facebook, Llarowe on Facebook, Harlow & Company on Facebook, and MeiMei's Signatures on Facebook for more information.
