Bliss Polish SoA Collection

I know I don't normally post on weekends, but I've make an exception for this collection since the owner Yvette restocked the shop this morning and I want you all to have a chance at getting your hands on some!

Bliss Polish is a relatively new to me brand, but from what I have seen Yvette's lacquer is top class! I have three colors to show you today from her Sons Of Anarchy Collection. There is a little something for everyone with a glitter, a thermal and a matte lacquer. Shall we get to them?

First up is the stunner of the bunch for me. Meet Jax.


Jax is a dark gray lacquer with a silver shimmer and a STUNNING matte finish.

Doctor Lacquer Hormonal Efficiency Collection


Today I have the third and final installment of the Doctor Lacquers that I received for review. This one is called the Hormonal Efficiency Collection and consists of six thermal lacquers. Three of these lacquers are heat reactive while the other three are cold reactive. I'm going to show you all of them in transition and also in their hot and cold states.

All of these lacquers have about the same formula. They are jelly-ish and I used three thin coats with Glossy Glam topcoat for all of the swatches. I did some very slight fishing for some of the larger glitters, but nothing that isn't expected. I do highly recommend turning these upside down for a few minutes before using so the glitters are closer to the top of the bottle. Are you ready for these?

First up for this collection is Adrenaline.


Adrenaline is a super bright yellow to orange thermal polish with lots of glitters. It starts out yellow in the bottle and turns a bright orange when it gets cold. I had a bit of a hard time getting this one to turn and stay cold, but you can see the transition below.

Doctor Lacquer Elements of Style


I have another collection for you tonight from Doctor Lacquer. This one is super special to me since I named the lacquers! Angelyn contacted me to help her come up with some names that referred to the elements these beauties were based on and I was happy to help. Each lacquer is inspired by the color that it's element burns.  Meet the Elements Of Style Collection! 

First up is (Ba)ck In Style inspired by burning Barium.


(Ba)ck In Style is a yellow-green jelly with pretty pastel glitters floating in it. It's super sheer, but I like it this way!

I never managed to post the second review I talked about yesterday, so I am posting it today! I have some brilliant polishes for you from Serum N°5 today from their fall line. Victoria from Serum N°5 sent me six lacquers for review, including one LE polish only available in October and three glow in the dark shades.

First up is one of the glow polishes. This one is Sunset Flare.


Sunset Flare is a duochrome polish that also glows in the dark. It color shifts from a burnt orange color to a pink shimmery tone.

Honey Buttons Custom Nail Polish


Hi all!

It is going to be another two post night for me here. First up is a post I am super excited about.

I was contacted by Jessica from Honey Buttons Nail Polish a while back and asked if I would review two of her custom made lacquers. I assumed that she would send me two she had made before to review, but I was so pleasantly surprised when I found out that I would actually be able to customize my own polish!

I knew I wanted at least one of these polishes to reference my Doctor Who obsession, and specifically Ten and Rose. I had just ordered some fantastic Bad Wolf fabric, so I asked Jessica if she could make me a glitter topper in the colors of the graffiti on the bad wolf fabric. Here are the results!


Look at all those bright colors! I used two coats here for maximum glitter coverage over OPI Rolling Bones. I topped the whole thing with Glossy Glam topcoat.

Last week was a busy week for me, so now I am trying to catch up! Here I have some more Incoco Nail Polish Strips for you!

These polish appliques are Halloween themed! I absolutely love Halloween. It is my favorite holiday and I love anything and everything to do with it. I have two sets of strips for you today. Both of these are from last year's Halloween collection, but Incoco has some great new strips this year as well!

I think these are SO CUTE! I love the quick nail art and that I don't need any dry time with these.

Hi All!

This post is a little late, since I already posted these on my Instagram a while ago, but here goes!

One of my favorite polish makers, Jessica from Messy Jessi contacted me about swatching her collection inspired by the television show The Walking Dead, so of course I said yes!!

This collection consists of 4 beautiful shades perfect for the fall and for Halloween.

First up is the one that immediately caught my eye. This one is The Governor's Eye.


The Governors Eye is a bright shiny mix of blue glitters and shimmers in a black jelly base.
