Enchanted Polish - Magical Mystery Tour

Hello!!!  Today I have the stunning Enchanted Polish, Magical Mystery Tour!  This baby is all over the place!  In a totally awesome way, of course.   There are just so many colors!!! It shifts from Teal/Green/Blue/Purple/Fuchsia/Rose/Copper/Lime Green - just twisting the bottle I can see hints of all those colors.  AMAZING.  So as if that wasn't enough - it has a super gorgeous holo punch to it as well!  Are you intrigued?
Good, because I have a gazillion photos. 
 
Today is also World Diabetes Day and some fellow bloggers are posting some blue manicures in support of this! (I know this isn't all blue, but blue stands out it in) :-) I know many people, friends and family, that suffer from this disease. Please check out the website as we unite today in honor of Diabetes Awareness http://www.idf.org/worlddiabetesday/


So if you haven't recognized the name, it's from the Echanted Polish Beatles Collection!! Here is the song by the Beatles this is named after! Love this song :-)
My index finger sort of shows it going from purple to the pink/copper, maybe even the green?   I used 3 coats and topped with Poshe top coat.  You can also layer this over black or any other color too!
 
And here is some of that holo goodness!  It is so much better in real life, but this is the best I could capture! :-(  Try to pretend! haha
 
 
You can purchase Enchanted Polish from http://enchantedpolish.bigcartel.com/, Llarowe and Harlow & Co. Also, stay up to date with them on Facebook - Llarowe - Facebook and Harlow & Co. Facebook.
You stay up to date with Enchanted Polish on Facebook too!  And she is doing an awesome giveaway for 4,000 "likes"!  You can enter HERE!! 
 
 
 
 
These next few are taken indoors using artificial light.
 
I love how rich the purple comes across!
 
 
The index finger is my favorite!! That is a fraction of it in person, but the best I could do!
 
And a close up to see some duochrome!!  And the little speckles are the holo, but since it's the shade, they look silver!  Imagine in the sun....!!!
 

I hope you enjoyed all the pics!!!  Have a fabulous day!!
Much Love,
Crystal

Different Dimension - Santa Baby Collection - Part 1

Hi Ladies & Gents!!  Today I have 2 very beautiful polishes from Different Dimension's Santa Baby Collection!! They are both WHITE based with glitters!!!! YAY!  And these two are definitely unique in my large collection of white with glitters! I am in love!!

So what is so cute about this collection, is that the names of the polishes are lines from the song, Santa Baby!  I am most familiar with Madonna's version, but of course Marilyn Monroe sang it beautifully!

First up, we have I've Been an Angel All Year!  This is a beautiful white base with a hint of blue and blue, white, and silver glitters.  The blue glitters are holographic and the silver sparkle as well.  I used 3 coats, but you can easily get away with 2 if applied evenly!  I topped with Poshe top coat.

 


This polish is so beautiful!  I felt like a Fairy Snow Princess or something!!

You can purchase this at Different Dimension on Etsy.  Polishes are $8.50, but I have seen Missi, the owner, do a ton of promotions!!!  I recommend following Different Dimension on Facebook or follow @missibarry on Twitter and Instagram!! You can find some really great deals to try these beauties out!
 


You can see the silver glowing in the shade!  I love how this looks in different lighting.
 


And a quick close up!  I love the mix of glitters though the layers!
 
 
Next we have I've Been an Awful Good Girl!  This is a gorgeous white with purple and pink glitters that are holographic and pink flakies that shift to gold at the right angle (but hard to capture on camera!)!  The first pictures were done my usual style - outside lighting of sun and shade.  The next photos are using artificial light in my new light box.
 
 
 
You can somewhat see the gold on my index finger and a little on the middle finger in the picture below.
 
 
Look at that delicious bottle with these glitters!  I used 2 coats plus Poshe top coat.
 
 
 
You can see a few of the glitters glowing below!
 
 
Close up!!  I love that subtle little pink flakies shown! It gives the polish that extra amazing glow!
 
Again, these both are available at Different Dimension on Etsy. Polishes are $8.50, but I have seen Missi, the owner, do a ton of promotions!!! I recommend following Different Dimension on Facebook or follow @missibarry on Twitter and Instagram!! You can find some really great deals to try these beauties out!
 
I hope you have a great day!!
Much Love,
Crystal

Pretty & Polished - Love Always Candy Cain and Forever Young


Hello Everyone!!  I hope you had a great weekend!!  Today I have two glitters from Pretty & Polished!  These are too cute!  Both have hearts in them!
 
First up, we have Love Always Candy Cain, which is a red and white glitter top coat.  This has small red and white glitters, along with medium hexagons in red, large hexagons in red and white, and red and white hearts! It is fun mix!  I decided to use 2 coats of LEX Cosmetics Seashell as a base, with 1 coat of Love Always Candy Cain, and finished with Poshe top coat.  To see Seashell, please check out my previous post - HERE.
 
You can see in the next picture, a bit of the holo in Seashell.  I love the dark grey with the red and white!
 
 
Pretty & Polished has stocked all their Holiday colors, including Love Always Candy Cain. You can also find out more information, upcoming collection information, along with swatches on Pretty & Polished - Facebook and at http://www.prettynpolish.com/. 
 
 
The bigger glitters are heavier and tend to sink a little.  This is easily solved by shaking a little before use and then setting upside for 10 minutes or so.  Carefully, of course, as the bottle can tip.  I recommend using other polishes to secure, or a container in which the bottle can not fall from.  Bringing the glitter to the top will make it easier to get out.  While painting this on, I did close and tip over in order to get the amount of large pieces I wanted per nail.  It may take just a bit longer, but the results are worth it in my opinion!
 
 
 
And here is a close up!!  The hearts will make this a cute polish for Valentine's Day too!
 
Next we have Forever Young, which is by Phoenix, Chelsea's daughter, for the PJ's Polish for Kids line!  I decided to go for a dark base to show off the beautiful glitters, I used 1 coat of Zoya Veruschka.  I then applied one coat of Forever Young and topped with Poshe.
 
 
Forever Young is sold at Pretty & Polished on Etsy.  It looks like Phoenix has her mother's gift!   I think it is awesome that Mother and Daughter can share in this journey of polish creation!
 
 

The glitters in this are so beautiful!  They are bright colors like a rainbow and the hearts are in red, pink, white, and blue!
 
 
 
I hope you enjoyed this look at two Pretty & Polished colors!!
 
Again, don't forget to check out Pretty & Polished on Etsy!  You can also find out more information, upcoming collection information, along with swatches on Pretty & Polished Facebook and at http://www.prettynpolish.com/.


Have a great day!!
 

Much Love,
Crystal
