Pink Madness!

*Purchased by Me*

Hi everyone! Earlier this year I went on a pink polish buying spree, so I have collected swatches to share all at once with you! These are all really different, but fantastic pinks and I hope you enjoy my spam session! I'm thinking of doing this with my whole collection as well to get wear a variety of my untrieds...what color should I do next?

Indie Inlinkz: Favorite Fall Color

*Some Press Samples Included*

Hi everyone! Today I'm doing a link-up with the ladies of Indie Inlinkz, a group of lovely bloggers who do a monthly link-up featuring indie polishes. For this month's prompt, we are exploring our favorite fall color! It's no secret that I'm an orange lover (yes that's me...sitting in the corner by myself), and I've amassed quite a collection of orange indies that are perfect for fall. Whether it be more burnt oranges or bright Halloween oranges, I don't discriminate. I have way more fabulous oranges than this in my collection (MANY that are more summer appropriate), but I picked out 8 great ones to share today that I think are fall appropriate. I'm sure I probably left out some that I love, but this is all my brain could come up with in the wee hours of the morning when I was putting this post together (just being real). These photos were taken anytime from last week to over a year and a half ago, so they are all over the place when it comes to poses, lighting, etc.. so just bear with me! Also I few of them are no longer available, so I apologize for that, but I just had to share them because they are favorites of mine!

Alopecia Awareness Mani + Glam Polish Bad Hair Day

Hi everyone! I meant to post this yesterday, but I got caught up prepping for my week long vacation and I never got around to it. Today I have a very special mani to share with you in honor of Alopecia Awareness Month! Rachel from Glam Polish is helping to spread education and awareness about Alopecia as well as participating in fundraising efforts to benefit the Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation with a special fundraising polish, Bad Hair Day which I will be showing you at the end of this post. Yesterday (Saturday, September 12), Rachel organized a social media event using the hashtag #bluemanisforalopeciaawareness, so be sure to check out that hashtag and even contribute a blue mani of your own! 

For my mani, I decided to do a dotted gradient. I used a base if Pahlish Ace of Fours II (Bespoke Batch) because I loved that it was white so it made a good base for the dots, but it also was filled with blue flecks. For my dots, I used 4 Glam Polishes: Paradise, Sinister, Illusion, and Book of Shadows. I was inspired to do this dot gradient by The Lacquerologist's recent mani in the 31DC2015.

Glam Polish Wicked Intent Collection

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! Today I have the limited edition Glam Polish Wicked Intent Collection to share with you. This is a 6 piece collection full of vampy holos full of glitter and contrasting shimmer that are just divine. These (along with the Darkly Dreaming Collection and Alopecia Awareness polish, Bad Hair Day) release today at 6 PM Eastern time.

Glam Polish Hey Ya!

*Purchased by Me*

Hi everyone! Today I have a polish that I actually wore ages ago but forgot to post (there are probably going to be several of those coming up since I'm going through my Photobucket right now). Glam Polish Hey Ya is from the Bling It On! Trio which launched earlier in the summer. It is a rose gold linear holo with gold and pink holo microglitters throughout. Formula was very nice to work with and I used 2 coats for full coverage. This polish is just SO blingtastic and amazing and I actually think that that it has made it onto my favorites of 2015 list because I was so wowed by it. It's currently available in the Glam Polish shop, so be sure to pick it up if you are a gold lover (I actually will probably pick up the other two in this trio before it's all said and done).

Glam Polish Under the Sea Collection (Partial)

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! Last week I had some family issues come up and I didn't get to blog much at all, so I'm going to skip Multichrome Mondays again so that I can bring you some brand new pretties! Today I have a selection of polishes from a brand new Glam Polish collection, the Under the Sea Collection. This collection consists of eight crelly holos filled with microglitter, glassflecks, and shimmer as well as one holographic glitter mix. This collection's official release date is Saturday, August 1 at 1 PM Eastern time (USA). I've seen previews of the whole collection floating around and I already know I'm going to HAVE to pick up a few more of them, but for now I have 3 of these beauties to show you today!

HPB Presents: Starry Night Skies

*Some products in this post were provided previously for review*

Hi everyone! Today I have July's Hobby Polish Bloggers Link-Up and the theme for this month is Starry Night Skies. For my mani, I was inspired by the aurora borealis (northern lights), which is one of the most gorgeous natural phenomenons in the world. I love to look at pictures of the blankets of colors with stars peeking through...it doesn't even look real! I can't imagine how glorious it would be to see in person!

For this mani, I followed the steps for a traditional galaxy mani like I've done several times in the past. I started off with a base of Glam Polish Nani (from the Over The Rainbow flakies). Next I used a make-up sponge and sponged on random sections of white using KBShimmer Eyes White Open. Then, I came back and sponged on sections of blue (KBShimmer In Yacht Water), green (KBShimmer Shore Thing), and purple (KBShimmer Sarong Place, Sarong Time) over the white to mimic the gorgeous colors of the aurora. Next I used my dotting tool and fine nail brush to place random "stars" all around using white acrylic paint. Finally, I finished off the mani using KBShimmer Dust in the Bottle to add some holographic sparkle. I love galaxy manis so much and they are so easy to do! It's easy to use different bases and color combinations to make each one unique, and I really loved the colors of this one and how they looked similar to colors I've seen in photos of the aurora borealis. It's definitely more of a free-form sort of nail art and there is no wrong way to do it, so if you want to dip your toes into nail art, try this!

Be sure to check out what everyone else did for their Starry Night Sky manis! I was very tempted to do something Van Gogh-inspired, but I didn't know if I could pull it off. Maybe one day soon I will try that! Thanks for looking everyone!

Green Spam for St. Patrick's Day!

*Purchased by Me*

Hi everyone! I fully intended on having a cute St. Patrick's Day mani for today's post, but didn't feel well yesterday so things didn't go as planned. Instead, I'm going to share some fabulous greens that I've been wearing lately and haven't blogged yet. I really hope I can make the time to do some St. Patrick's nail art before the end of the week. Gah, just looking through to find all of these has reminded me of the RIDICULOUS amount of unblogged manis that I have in the arsenal. One day I will have them all posted!

Glam Polish Elixir is a lime green holo packed with lime holo glitters. Formula was excellent with full coverage in 2 easy coats. I feel like I've said this a million times, but I'll say it again...Glam Polish's Cast a Spell Collection(s) are probably my favorite series of collections EVER and this one is probably one of my favorites so far! I just can't say enough how pretty and sparkly this polish is! This one is actually part of the Cast a Spell Part 2 Collection, which is still available from Glam Polish's shop.

Glam Polish Run and Tell That

*Purchased by Me*

Hi everyone! Today I have a beautiful Glam Polish to share with you from their recently released Hairspray Collection. I  purchased 2 polishes from this collection and I was initially more excited about the other polish (Welcome to the 60's), but for some reason I gravitated towards wearing this one first. I reallly need to wear Welcome to the 60's soon because it is also amazing! 

Run and Tell That has a charcoal linear holo base packed with silver holo, black, and white glitters. Formula was very glitter-packed, but it still applied pretty easily in 3 thin coats. This one is topcoat hungry, so I used 2 coats of a thicker topcoat to smooth it out. This sparkle of this polish is INSANE! If you like charcoal holos, this is certainly a unique twist on one and I highly recommend it!

Glam Polish is available from their Big Cartel shop (ships to Australia and the US only) as well as from these international stockists. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram for updates on new collections and restocks as well as to see lots of beautiful swatches! Thanks for looking everyone!

Glam Polish Warlock

*Purchased by Me*

Hi everyone! I've shown you several polishes in the past from the Cast a Spell Part 1 and 2 collections from Glam Polish, and slowly but surely I'm getting more and more of them! I recently picked up the two I was lemming the most, Elixir and Warlock from the Part 2 Collection that was released this past Halloween. I had a hard time trying to pick which one to wear first, but I finally decided on Warlock.

Glam Polish Warlock is a reddish orange holographic polish filled with various sizes of orange microglitter. This polish leans very red in some lights and very orange in other lights so it's not a true pumpkin orange which makes it a bit unique. Formula was very nice and built up perfectly in 2 coats. I used a thicker topcoat to get the polish smooth, but only 1 coat (I used Darling Diva Polish's Pryzmatic PETC). I have a huge weakness for oranges, and this one is just amazing!

Super Lazy Christmas Mani Featuring Glam Polish

*Nothing to Disclose*

Hi everyone! Today I have my super lazy Christmas manicure to share with you and I figured I should share it before December is officially over. I wanted to do some sort of art but I was dead tired after working all day and then baking for a few hours, so all I did were a few lazy swipes with a striper brush. I started off with two amazing polishes from Glam Polish, Coven (red) and Conjuring (green). I've been planning on wearing these together at Christmas for ages! They are so beautiful and take 2 easy coats for full coverage. Then I used a Color Club white nail art striper to make my random lines. For being ridiculously simple, it also looks really nice I think.

If you haven't tried any of these Glam Polishes, they are all amazing and I want ALL OF THE DIFFERENT COLORS of this particular sort of finish that she makes (and I have quite a few already).

Glam Polish Maleficent

*Purchased By Me*

Hi everyone! My Pirate Nail Art Challenge nails were a massive fail for today's prompt, but I hope I can redo them later. In the mean time, I have I flipping gorgeous polish to share with you from Glam Polish. I just can't get enough of their holo glitters! The beauty I have for you today is Glam Polish Maleficent, which is a dark purple holo base filled with purple and fuchsia holographic glitters in different sizes. Formula was nice and could build up to opacity on its own, but I really like to wear these polishes layered. I used 2 coats of Maleficent over OPI Do You Have This Color in Stock-holm for this mani. This polish is so blingy that I could barely get my camera to focus on it. I used a combination of a thicker topcoat + quick dry topcoat to smooth out the glitter. This is a stare at your nails all day sort of polish....it's just awesome!

Glam Polish Coven

Hi everyone! I haven't worn a really good red in awhile and boy is this one REALLY good! Glam Polish Coven has a gorgeous red holographic jelly base with red holographic glitter. It would have been fine on its own at 3 coats, but you know me...I had to layer it. This is another amazing polish from Glam Polish's Cast a Spell Collection. I used 2 coats over Essie Jelly Apple for this mani. Once again, like High Priestess, Coven was easy to get glassy smooth with 1 coat of thicker topcoat (Essence Gel Look Topcoat) and 1 coat of a quick dry topcoat (NYC Grand Central Station). I would like to say that I was wearing red to be patriotic, but really it was for the True Blood premiere last week (so let's just pretend, K?)
