Dollish Polish Blogiversary Giveaway! (Closed)

Hi everyone!!! Today I'm TWO blog years old!!! I'm so excited!!! Just sorry I haven't been here as much over the last few months!! I miss it so much!  Hopefully you saw my update -HERE.

I wanted to do a lil somethin somethin for you guys, because you all mean so very much!!  You guys give me a reason to keep up this hobby!  Winter has been rough on these cuticles, but I'm going to try to take better care and try a new polish every few days.

So how about a quick look back to my first post~!  You can see it - HERE.  It's funny to critique my old work!  I feel as though I've improved, so that's good haha! :-D

Anyway! I'm excited to say that I have a few beauties from Dollish Polish to giveaway.  One winner will win 3 Full Size Dollish Polishes: Purple Nurples, Space, The Final Frontier HYPERDRIVE, and It's So Fluffy, I'm Gonna Die!  These are just three of my faves!  You can purchase Dollish Polish at HERE at DollishPolish.com or through HERE at Llarowe.  You can also stay up to date on information by following Dollface22772 (Dollish Polish) on Facebook and Llarowe on Facebook.  Both are also on Twitter - @DollishPolish & @llarowe  and Instagram - @Dollface22772 & @llarowe.

First up, Purple Nurples.

I used 3 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I love the purple jelly filled with these amazing glitters!

Close up!  The mix of glitters is stunning, plus that flaky iridescence! Drool!

 

And since I'm home on a snow today today (one perk of this awful weather!), I ran outside quick to snag a couple pictures in the bright sun!  It's the perfect light box with all this snow hahahaha :-P

And I was thinking that it'd be awesome to matte this, but then forgot midway removing it (whoops), so two nails only...but this was the 3 coats with KBShimmer Clearly on Top, and I added 1 coat of Essie Matte About You. Stunning, right?

Next up, we have Space, The Final Frontier HYPERDRIVE.  This is amazing.  I kick myself for not trying this sooner.  I put it on last night knowing I bought one for the giveaway and needed to swatch it.  I have no idea why I never put it on sooner, because I couldn't even take it off last night!  I have a ton to swatch and I was drooling looking at this in different lighting!  So these first few are light box.

This is a great picture you can start to see some holo faintly!

Here are some sun pics!

If you noticed, the giveaway version is slightly different.  I have an older batch that materials are no longer available.  The new version is stunning though!  Check out these gorgeous comparison pictures!

And finally, It's So Fluffy, I'm Gonna Die!

You can see my original review of this - HERE!  This is two coats with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Such a gorgeous pink!  So many different glitters make this amazing in person.

See that close up!?  Yes...it is just beautiful, isn't it?!

Seriously, isn't this gorgeous!??

For It's So Fluffy, I'm Gonna Die, I used 2 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top!

This is based off of the movie, Despicable Me.  Here is a quick clip of where the name comes from!

I absolutely love the glass flecks in this!  Plus all the pink!! And circle glitters!??  Plus those big pink hexes are awesome!  Squares too!

Close Up!!  This is seriously the prettiest pink!! A must have in my opinion!

Next, Crystal Empire!  Don't you just love the name? *wink wink*

I'm in glitter heaven I think!  I started with three coats of OPI Rumple's Wiggin'.

I then applied 1 coat of Crystal Empire along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

LOVE these huge circle glitters that are holographic!  And the beautiful moons, stars, and smaller circles!  This is just such a fun glitter topper!  I wanted to try this over blues, pinks, purples, black, etc. haha I can't wait to wear this again!

This is based off of the cartoon, My Little Pony!  Here is a picture of the Crystal Empire!

HERE for Photo Credit

You can see in the bottle the holo big circle glitter! YUM!

Close up!

Next....Who Lives In A Pineapple Under The Sea?

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

For this mani using Who Lives In A Pineapple Under The Sea?, I used 2 coats along with 2 coats of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I did add the extra top coat to make sure it was smoother!

Here is the theme song to the cartoon, Spongebob Squarepants!

Are you going to be singing it all night too? LOL  Anyway, I LOVE the stars in this, plus it totally reminds me of the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants!  And the light blue shimmer through this is beautiful!  It's subtle, but I love it!  And there are these white glitters that are thicker, but they look so so cool through the white base! Since they are thicker though, I do recommend a thick top coat, or like I did, an extra coat.  It is definitely worth it though!  Isn't this awesome?

Close up!  You can see the blue glitters/shimmer in it!

I hope you enjoyed this post!!  In case you missed above, you can purchase Dollish Polish at HERE at DollishPolish.com or through HERE at Llarowe.

Girly Bits - Holo'ween

 

 

Hello everyone!! I hope you had a nice weekend!! I was able to relax and catch up on some much needed rest.  Sorry I didn't post, but this week should be back on track!!  Mr. CC is going to try to work, even though he has his IV antibiotics.  He is stubborn!  But hopefully he won't overdo it and will take it easy this first week.  Thank you again for all your thoughts and prayers!!!

 

Today I have a beautiful color from Girly Bits.  It is named Holo'ween.  I know that Halloween is over - can you believe it's November!? - but I feel as though it still passes as a stunning Fall mani!!  I have used 2 coats of Dollish Polish Master Chief as my base.  You can see my previous post on that, HERE!  Then 1 coat of Holo'ween and finished off with Seche Vite.  Pictures really do not do this justice.  It is SO amazing in person!!! But I will try to show you some of it's brilliance!

 

 

 

You can purchase Girly Bits from http://girlybits.bigcartel.com/, Llarowe - Girly Bits, and Harlow & Co. - Girly Bits. Prices vary from $10 to $13 depending on the item (some are higher due to materials) and the shop. Llarowe has a few on sale right now for $8!! And Harlow & Co. offers free shipping over $50 to anywhere! And Girly Bits website is free shipping over $60. Each site has different polishes in stock right now, but they are worth checking out! Girly Bits has a ton of amazing colors that you will love! It's hard not to want them all!

Another couple of places to order are Mei Mei Signatures and Overall Beauty. I personally haven't ordered from these shops, but I hear great things about them! So many options to get your Girly Bits!! ;-)

 

 

A great way to stay up to date on Girly Bits is through Facebook! Pam, the owner, updates restocks and includes swatches of colors!  Another great way to see upcoming collections is by following Pam's Blog!  Harlow & Co. has a Facebook and Llarowe has a Facebook too.

 

 

 

 

This is a blurred picture, but shows how this polish just glows in the shade.  In regular bright light, the pieces reflect holographic, but in the shade they sort of glow like fire embers.  Holo'ween is made up of the tiny holographic glitters, larger black and orange glitters in hexagons, squares, and bar glitters.

 

 

I didn't have a lot of sun, so I took some indoor pictures.  Again, blurred to show the holographic sparkles.  Even though this does show some of it, it really is so much prettier in person!

 

 

 

Here is a shot with flash just for fun.  I had hoped for it to show the holo better, but I still like how it looks :-)

 

Here are a couple close ups!  Even without the holographic glitters, this mix is stunning!

 

 

I hope everyone is doing great!!  I added tabs on my home page now for the giveaways!  The Sephora 18K Gold Top Coat ends tomorrow!!  Make sure to enter them both!

 

Have a great day!

 

Much Love,

Crystal
