Lush Lacquer Flippin Out

The other day I mentioned that I had a nice little jelly sandwich that I was going to show you using Nail Junkie's Apple Jelly Shimmer. Well this is it! :) Flippin Out (previously named "Dippin Dots") is pretty much the pastel edition to Lush Lacquer's Lite Brite. It's a clear based polish with hex, bar, and square glitters in multiple sizes in the colors pink, orange, green, blue, yellow, and purple. And it is PACKED with glitters. I found it to be extremely easy to apply, and I only needed one coat to get the amount I need on my nail. All in all, I think it would be a great go-to multi color glitter polish if you enjoy the more pastel colored glitters. Definitely a fun change from the norm! :)




This picture seems to show a lot of orange toned glitters, but in reality its pretty evenly mixed. I think my camera just picked it up funny...


Flipping Out retails for $8.75 and can be purchased on Lush Lacquers etsy site.

The Nail Junkie Apple Jelly Shimmer

Hey guys! Did everyone have a good 4th of July? We had some A-MAZ-ING fireworks here in Houston, but of course I left my camera in the apartment and didn't get any pictures. :( I have something VERY exciting and special for you today! A polish from The Nail Junkie's summer collection! While I wanted to go crazy and order every single polish in this collection, I refrained and just ordered my very favorite, Apple! And I mean FAVORITE! The Nail Junkie describes Apple as a "neon green jelly with two sizes of shimmery glitter". Let me tell you, this is the perfect green jelly. Im seriously in love! One of my favorite things about this polish is that fact that it has TINY shimmery glitter. While I am still a TOTAL lover of big chunky glitter, I really respect Aleta for not being like everyone else in the indie world right now and throwing some in there just because thats what she thinks everyone wants, because this seriously WORKS for this polish! (Once again, not dogging polish makers that have lots of glitters in their polish, I love it as much as the next guy). One of the things that I did notice about this polish is the fact that it has a serious color range depending on where you are. When I first opened this package up, I was in the bedroom and I thought to myself, great color but not so much a neon. It had more of a kelly green color to it. It wasn't until I stepped outside that I saw just now bright and neon it was. So it definitely does change a little under artificial light. Gorgeous colors either way though! (I hope that made sense)...

So seriously, absolutely no complaints about this polish. I used three coats, and one coat of SV to get this opacity. There was still a little bit of a visible nail line at times, which I usually am not a huge fan of, but I actually didn't mind it with this polish. Like I said, it just works!




SERIOUSLY! Just look at how juicy this jelly looks! Be on the look out for a sweet jelly sandwich featuring this polish soon as well! ;)

This polish retails for $10.00 and can be purchased at The Nail Junkies shop along with all of her other polishes! Unfortunately it does look like she is sold out right now, but you can check her blog and facebook for updates on her restock!

Revlon Just Tinted Victorian

I know that these Just Tinted polishes came out last summer, but I decided to post this anyway because I am using it as a base for another polish and I LOVE IT!!! Its the best pink jelly polish. It doesn't try very shiny, but I think that was part of the whole "tinted" idea, which can be easily remedied by a little top coat! For the price (I think its like $3.50 or something) it is definitely a GREAT staple to have! I only put two coats because I knew I would be adding another polish, but if you were to wear it alone you might need three coats to reach full opacity.

Pahlish Toxic and Timeless

I seriously can NOT tell you guys how in LOVE I am with this polish! Right now Pahlish is one of my favorite indie polish brands of all time. Toxic and Timeless is a sort of seaweed green jelly base with what seems like every type of glitter imaginable in various shades of green, blue, and yellow! LOVE!!! I will definitely be ordering some more polished from Pahlish as soon as I can! :)



Don't you just LOVE that giant yellow hex glitter right in the middle of my pointer?! Perfection I tell you!

I know this isn't the best picture, but it really show cases those tiny little glitters well. So cute!

Macro bottle shot love.

Toxic and Timeless retails for $8.50 and can be found at Pahlish's etsy store!
