Pretty Pots Polish review part 2

Hi all!

I have the second half of the awesome Pretty Pots Polish polishes to show today.


Grape Jam & Sugar






Grape Jam & Sugar has a light to medium purple base, with silver, pastel coloured and holo glitters, and purple micro glitters. This applied really well, i used two coats for photos, and one coat of quick dry top coat. A very pretty polish!


Pink Rainbows






Pink rainbows has a soft baby pink base with loads of shimmer and multi coloured hex glitter in different sizes. Reminds me a lot of Deborah lippmann Candy Shop, just not as jelly-ish. I used two coats for pictures. There is a teensy weensy bit of VNL still showing on some of my fingers but it didn't bother me at all. A third coat could be used but i loved it at 2 coats. One coat of quick dry top coat followed.


Euphoria.






This is probably my favourite out of all the ones i got for review. I am just loving orange, yellow and black all together at the moment. Definitely reminds me of Halloween and the american season of "Fall" even though its Spring here and we are heading into Summer :P
Euphoria is a glitter topper. Clear base with Orange and yellow glitters in hex and square, in different sizes and black bar glitter.
I layered this over different colours to see what it'd look like. My favourite is definitely over white.
Index - Ulta3 Lily White, Middle - Ulta3 Earl Grey, Ring - Ulta3 Black Satin, Pinky - B Bloom Bahamas.
There are a lot of people out there that don't like bar glitter. I for one absolutely love it, but layering it over black like my ring finger will hide the bar glitter ;)

Pretty Pots Polish is available from Jalene's Etsy Store for $9.50 each. Grape jam & Sugar, & Pink Rainbows are available now. Euphoria will be available tomorrow (Nov 1st) and will be part of the colour riot collection, which will contain about 10-12 polishes..

Pretty Pots Polish review Part 1

Hi all!!

I have an awesome new Aussie indie brand to show you today!
I was lucky enough to get 6 awesome shades to review. Today i will show you 3 of them

First up is Dreamless.






Dreamless is a soft sheer pastel white (if there is such a thing…. there is now! lol) It has an awesome flash of blue in it to give it a pearly white look. It is in no way streaking at all. It was absolutely wonderful to work with. I used three coats for photos. There was still a little bit of visible nail line, which actually didn't bother me at all, but you could always put a coat of white underneath to help, if NVL bothers you.


Next is Hydrangea Garden.







Hydrangea Garden has a beautiful lilac purple base with glitters of varying sizes and shapes, in purple, yellow gold and blue. This was two coats and one coat of quick dry top coat. The polish was really easy to work and i had no hassles with the glitters.

Both Hydrangea Garden & Dreamless are part of the Pastel love collection and are available now on her Etsy shop for $9.50 each.


Last up is Today i am fearless.
This is part of the Summer collection which is actually due out for release in a couple of days. I have another from this collection to show you tomorrow too. The collection will also release some christmas colours too.






Today i am fearless has a black crelly base with different sized red, silver & holographic glitters. It was too sheer for my personal liking, so i layered two coats over one coat of my go-to black, Ulta3 Black Satin. If you like a more glitter bomb type polish, this will build up on it's own in 3-4 coats. I then added one coat of my quick dry top coat.


Pretty Pots Polish is available from Jalene's Etsy Store for $9.50each. She also ships of out Australia.

Lilypad Lacquer - True Blood

Hi everyone!

Just a quick one today, as i am super busy with work, and tonight i will be packing the car for a mini getaway for 4 days with my partner. Yay!
I'll still have a couple posts up while i'm away, including my zombie nails for tomorrows halloween challenge day. =)


Today's nails are Lilypad Lacquer's True Blood. Seems fitting to shove this somewhere in the halloween challenge month lol





 True Blood is a deep red-y purple base with an awesome linear holo. I'm not much of a vampy coloured person but this is absolutely gorgeous! I love it. This was two coats and one coat of top coat. I wore it for about 5 days before taking it off and as you can see in some pics, these were taken after a couple days wear. I didn't even want to take if off after 5 days! I can defintely see myself wearing this more often. The formula is absolutely amazing and a breeze to apply. Barely any clean up was needed.







This is what it's like under no sunlight, in the shade. Even though the holo has disappeared (like all holos) it still has an amazing deep plumy purple colour <3

Alanna Renee - Dementor!

Hi everyone!
Hope you all had a great weekend!!

Today i have an awesome Alanna Renee to show you! I have never shown an AR on my blog before, but i have a few of Alanna's polishes and they do not disappoint!
She kindly sent me this one to review with my last purchase from her, which was a few months back. I did wear this polish a couple months ago but have been a very slack blogger!! Sorry Alanna it took so long to blog!

This is Dementor!






Dementor has a mix of silver and grey glitters in hex and micro hex sizes, in a black base. This was two thick coats. This was also a fairly gritty polish, so it needs two coats of topcoat. I only used one coat for photos.







This is part of the Harry Potter collection that was released back in April. It is still available on her website today, for an awesome price of $7.99 which i think is an awesome price for an indie. Alanna also ships internationally via her website now too, but you can also find her polishes through these stockists. For Aussies, she also has free shipping for all orders over $50!

This product was sent for my honest review.

Glam Polish - Ahhh Aliens!!!

Hi all

Tonights polish is from the first in-die box, which was released back in June.

I did wear this polish a little while ago and it had been sitting in my "to blog" folder since lol

Ahhh Aliens!!! is a LE (limited Edition) which was only released with the In-die box. I got #25/45
June's in-die box theme was Toy Story. AA was based off the little cute aliens.






Ahhh Aliens!!! has a blue/green crelly base with big neon green hex, small blue/purple & white hex, and white micro hex. This was easy to apply and needed 3 coats for opacity.
