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.

Love Thy Polish - Gypsy

Hi everyone! Day 4 of LTP week!! I can't believe i have actually blogged 4 days in a row now! Record! lol This will be short and sweet tonight though, i just got home from work and am ready for bed.

Today's Love Thy Polish is Gypsy!

Gypsy is one of my all time favourites from LTP. It's everything i love in an indie polish.
Gypsy belongs to the Dreams collex, which was a collaboration between Emma (LTP) and Tammy (lacquer and leather, who is also doing LTP week) which was inspired by Fleetwood Mac.

I was lucky enough to score a free mini bottle when we all met up for the first time. I have since bought a full sized back up bottle i love it so much lol






Gypsy is a white milky based polish with magenta dots, turquoise blue dots and squares and a very fine sparkly holo like shimmer. <3
I used 3 coats and it was a Dream (haha get it?) to apply! I didn't have to fish at all for glitters but a tiny roll of the bottle between hands before application helps in grabbing more glitters.





Gypsy is still around for a little while longer so grab it while you can.

If you're living in Australia, Love Thy Polish can be purchased directly from her website "Love Thy Polish" Most of her polishes are AU$9.50, Mini's are AU$6.50 but they are a big 8ml mini's. Holo's are AU$12.

If your living outside of Australia, Sorry this is not available but please check out MeiMei's Signatures as she has selected shades available, with worldwide shipping.

If neither option above suits, please beg and beg your closest vendor to stock Love Thy Polish ;)

LTP Week! Love Thy Polish - Take over the World

Hi everyone!
Welcome to Love Thy Polish week! Lacquer & leather, Lacquer dreams, Pretty in Polish and myself are showcasing the awesome Aussie Indie brand Love Thy Polish!

I will be showing at least one of her polishes per day so stayed tuned for some awesomeness!!

Today i have Take Over the World to show you.
Does that sound familiar? If you remember and loved the TV cartoon show Pinky & the Brain, you'll love this!

Take over the World is part of the recent collection "Animation Celebration" and is available now. Check below to find out where.





 Take over the world has a pale pink base with large red hex glitters and small white hex glitters. Application was a synch! This was three coats and one coat of C/N Wicked fast tc. The is opaque enough that it didn't need a base colour, which i thought it might need. There was also no fishing for the red hex glitter.






If your living in Australia, Love Thy Polish can be purchased directly from her website "Love Thy Polish" Most of her polishes are AU$9.50, mini's are AU$6.50 but they are a big 8ml mini. Holo's are AU$12.

If your living outside Australia, her polishes can be purchased from MeiMei's Signatures.

If none of the above suit, please beg and beg your closest vendor to stock Love Thy Polish ;) You won't regret it!

See you tomorrow!!

piCture pOlish Candy + Lynnderella Pentimento

One of my "nail polish goals" for this year was to own a Lynnderella. Even JUST ONE! I've always admired Lynnderella's and never thought i'd actually own any. If your anyone in the nail community, you'd know who Lynnderella was and the widespread talk of her and her brand. Whether you like her or not, she has talent, and well known for coming up with the most amazing polishes! Whether you agree with that or not, that's up to you! =)

Well i got lucky a few months ago when i saw a friend selling two of Lynn's. I snatched them up pretty quick. Not one, but TWO!! I got A Neutral Party and Pentimento. Oh my, that made me lemm for Lynnderella's even more!! haha Since then, i now own 10 Lynn's! =)


Today i am wearing Pentimento over Picture Polish Candy






Picture Polish Candy is a bright barbie pink. The formula was a little tricky but it paid off in the end. It's an absolutely stunning pink! This was three coats.


I then added one very sparse coat of Lynnderella's Pentimento.




I wore this all weekend before taking it off, which is a first for me lol


Do you have any Lynnderella's? Do you like them/hate them?
