Because I love the simplicity of the technique so much, I did a really simple dry brush look for you today.

Lollipop Posse Lacquer Deck Your Halls Collection

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! Today I've got the brand new Deck Your Halls Collection from Lollipop Posse Lacquer to share with you. This 7-piece collection in gorgeous holiday shades was inspired by classic lines from Arnold Schwarzenegger films. This is my very first time trying this brand and I am super impressed! Creator Karen is doing a stellar job as one of the newer indies on the block and I can't wait to see what she will do next! This collection will be releasing this coming Wednesday (November 18th) at 8 PM EST in the Lollipop Posse Lacquer shop.

Karen had this to say about the inspiration behind the collection, along with the specific inspirations behind each polish which I will be including with the swatches:

Deck Your Halls 2015 is a collection of seven shades that take their names courtesy of Lollipop's favorite actor - Arnold Schwarzenegger! In our house, the Lollipop hubs and I finally have enough time during the Holidays (we always take some time off together) to sit down and binge on our favorite action flicks. Hope you enjoy these polishes as much as we enjoy our Arnold!

Lemming Lacquer Serafina the Firebreather

*Purchased by Me*

Hi everyone! Today I have a beauty from Lemming Lacquer to share with you! I've just recently ordered a few polishes from this brand and I'm very impressed with them so far! As I'm writing this, I actually think I have swatches somewhere of another Lemming Lacquer pretty that I wore a while back SOMEWHERE on this computer, but I will save it for another time since I don't want to go hunting at the moment. I was swatching a gorgeous burgundy creme for an upcoming collection for another brand that you will be seeing very soon on the blog (Friday hopefully!) and I spied Lemming Lacquer Serafina the Firebreather sitting in my untried box and I just knew it would be gorgeous on top!

Serafina the Firebreather is filled with gold/copper/red color shifting metallic flakes and scattered gold holographic microglitters all in a holographic base. I've seen a ton of swatches of this on its own and it is really gorgeous that way, but I wanted to see how it would pop over a vampy base so I used 1 coat here over a deep burgundy creme. This polish is so appropriately named because it is like having fire on your nails! It's a gorgeous GORGEOUS polish and I'm so glad that I snagged it! It is from Lemming Lacquer's recently released Vagantem Damnatorium Collection for Halloween. I also wanted to throw in that I adore creator Cassie's attention to detail in packaging because she includes amazing handmade themed cards and packaging for each of her collections that are just beautiful and add an extra special touch when you dive into your package.

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! Today I have the FingerPaints Tis the Season to Sparkle Collection to share with you. This is a 6-piece collection that has 3 sparkly glitter toppers and 3 coordinating base colors (or at least I thought they coordinated well, even if that wasn't the intention). I know a few of these are re-promotes or core shades, but they come together very nicely in this collection. This is a limited edition collection that will be available in Sally Beauty stores during the months of November and December, so you should be able to find them now in stores and online.
