Wonder Beauty Products - Christmas Manis!

Hello Everyone!! Guess what today is!?! It's Mr. CC's Birthday!! I want to wish him the best day!!! *throws confetti*  I love you honey!!!

 

  

Today I have Wonder Beauty Products on the blog!! I have three to show you, but my photo stream stopped working last night!  So I hope to add another post later tonight.  The two I have to show you in this post are so much fun!!  First up, we have Candy Cane Lane!

 

I started with 2 coats of A England Holy Grail.

 

 

 

Then I applied 1 coat of Candy Cane Lane and topped with Seche Vite.  As you can see, there are some large white hexagons and some bar glitter.  A few of the red pieces have a slight curl to them, but I really like the look of how they mix with the other glitters!  A nice thick coat of Seche Vite smoothed everything out for me. 

 

 

There is a light silver glitter sprinkled through this!  It is so pretty as it lightly sparkles!

You can purchase Jen's products on Etsy, at Wonder Beauty Products - Candy Cane Lane. Polishes range from $10-11. Also, you can also see upcoming colors and get updates from her Blog and Facebook! I also see Jen, the owner, do a lot of fun giveaways too, so I would follow her to stay up to date on information!!  She's on Twitter too - @WonderJenProd.

 

 

 

There are a few glitter pieces that shine holographic-ly (is that a word? haha).  Middle and Pinky show a bit of the glow!

 

Close up - you can see the tiny little silver glitters in this!

 

Next we have A Shattered Glass Holoday!

 

I started with a base of 2 coats of Zoya Trixie.  This is such a beautiful foil color!

 

 

I then applied 1 coat of A Shattered Glass Holoday and topped with Seche Vite.  The blue, red, and green, and silver glitters glow!  It is such a beautiful polish!  I want to try this over black next!

 

You can purchase this at Wonder Beauty Products - A Shattered Glass Holoday.

 

 

Look at all those shards in the bottle!!!!

 

 

 

Close up!!

 

So you've seen some silver and gold with glitter top coats!! I cannot believe Christmas is getting closer and closer!  I haven't even had any time to play around with fun Christmas manis!!  And with Mr. CC's birthday, I'm pretty booked until 12/26! haha  We have so many Christmas parties coming up!  Do you have a ton of parties?  I have 6 in total for family!  Crazy right?!  I'm just thankful to see everyone (and that they are all on separate days! Phew! haha).  Hopefully I can come up with something special over the weekend for you guys!

 

Make sure to check out Wonder Beauty Products on Etsy!!


Have a great day!!

Much Love,
Crystal

 

 

*The Wonder Beauty Products have been sent to me for review. All thoughts and opinions are that of my own.*

A-England Lady of the Lake

A-England Lady of the Lake, 2 coats.

The past two days I was a juror for a civil trial.  Luckily, the case had previously held court to determine the responsible party, but that left us with the decision on how much the accident was worth for pain/suffering, lost wages, and medical bills.  It was interesting to learn more about the court system, but also was a lot of information to absorb in a short amount of time!  We deliberated for about 3 hours trying to figure out all the facts we had!  Overall, I feel we made the right decision and am glad to have had a voice in the process.

Anyway!  I want to show you a gem from A-England, Lady of the Lake. It is a purple scattered holographic polish. The holo effect is very subtle and as you will see in pictures, only can be seen at certain angles. The polish applied very smoothly, almost with 1 coat. I did two to make sure it was even.  As in the picture above, you can see that when not looking holographic, the polish gives more of a silver shimmer look instead.  I love the way it looks like little stars in a night sky!  I'll let the pictures do the talking here.

A view for the holographic shimmer

Blurred for holo effect

Below is a comparison for you of Lady of the Lake and Tristam.  Tristam is more blue, while Lady of the Lake leans more purple.  They are somewhat similar in their scattered holo effect, but I like their different hues.

A-England Tristam, 2 coats.

I hope you enjoyed seeing another color from the amazing Adina, from A-England.  I enjoy her polish a lot and am glad to hear such great reviews of her new collection, The Legend.

Much Love,

Crystal

Edited to Add:
A-England website can be found HERE.  She also has a top and base coat available.  Her shipping is free world wide and PayPal did the currency conversion for me, so I didn't have to worry about that! lol

So since I've been behind, there is a new collection available now! They are mostly holographic, a few linear and some scattered, and one gorgeous shimmer. This collection is called The Legend. You can find this HERE.

Also, Leah Ann LaRowe sells this polish on her website,  HERE, for $12 each, plus shipping.  She is currently out of stock of both Tristam and Lady of the Lake, but she should have more soon.

A-England - Iseult

A-England Iseult



I found out why I haven't really liked my pictures a few posts ago! I think my yellow walls/lighting make it a bad combo for photographing the colors accurately! I went to my kitchen and really like the pictures from in there so much better. Lesson learned I suppose ;-)

A-England is a fairly new brand to me, but the creator, Adina, just celebrated her first year!! That was actually how I ordered my Mythicals (I bought 10 of her 15 beautiful colors). I was so excited to try them, as they are even better in person!!   Her website can be found HERE.  She also has a top and base coat available.  Her shipping is free world wide and PayPal did the currency conversion for me, so I didn't have to worry about that! lol

Iseult is a beautiful light pink with a very subtle shimmer. It is sheer, so I plan to layer with it in the future. For this manicure, I did 3 coats. It was exactly what I needed after all of this glitter lately ;-)

I can't wait to try more of her gorgeous colors.  The Legend collection especially catches my eye!

Hope you enjoyed this simply beautiful pink!

Much Love,

My Collection!!

My Collection!!

Going through all my polish last night sure made me exhausted!! I think I was working on my blog and racks for about 4 hours. What a night!!

Please ignore the mess, and trust me, this room is far from done!! I need to repaint eventually! This is my yellow, black, & white room! I will take pictures again once things are more organized! I was tired and wanted to at least show you all what I've been so excited for!!

I've been collecting maybe a year and a half. It's amazing to me to think back to the very first polish - OPI Don't Know, Beets Me. I bought it when I got a pedicure. From there I went on to get a few more OPIs and it was downhill after that!! If there was polish at the bottom of that hill, let's just say I'd roll all the way down it just to see what color it was. ;-)

So last night, I started shaking bottles and tightening caps and got sick of that maybe halfway through the first rack!!! LOL So if some colors are separated, sorry! ;-) Anyway, I did try my best to color fade, but sometimes it didn't work perfectly. I like how they look though, but I will probably redo it a million times as I have this problem to keep buying more!

Mr. CC is the one that actually said I needed all racks, no helmers. I was surprised he'd want them all on the wall, but he said I should be able to see them all. I have to admit, he is right! I love it! And now I can easily grab whatever I'm in the mood for!! I did say 6 racks are my limit, after these are filled (which won't be too much longer I suppose), I plan to get a helmer.

Just some of the mess I made :-D

My amazing hubby working hard!!!

Mr. CC

Aren't they awesome - not even filled yet!

It is my art!!! I'm in love!

 

Going to fix the cord, but I had to show you how awesome it is!!

 

I love that vanity!  I have plans to refinish it very soon!

My amazing vanity seat!! I love it!

It got really late, so I am still wearing my Unicorn Pee!! Here is an older, favorite mani of mine!!

I hope you enjoyed a peek at my collection!! I am so glad you were excited to see it!!

Much Love,

Crystal

*Edited to add*
I can tell I was tired last night - I didn't mention where these lovely racks were from!!!  I went to the Head 2 Toe Beauty store, just over an hour from my house.  They do have a whole online shop, so you can check that out - Here.  Their wall racks are Here.  I bought the 90ct ones!  Hope that helps ;-)
