Enchanted Polish - Purple Roses

Hello Everyone!!  I'm so excited to share with you, Purple Roses, by Enchanted Polish!  This polish was given to me as a gift, which makes it even more special.  Purple Roses was created to raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis.  When Googled, the definition is listed as:  "Cystic fibrosis is a disease passed down through families that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract, and other areas of the body. It is one of the most common chronic lung diseases in children and young adults. It is a life-threatening disorder."  You can learn more at http://www.cff.org/aboutcf/.

As listed on the Enchanted Polish website: "Dedicated to cystic fibrosis awareness and a beautiful friend. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation- Greater Illinois Chapter (http://www.cff.org)."  I love when brands give back and raise awareness.  It is so amazing to see that kindness and generosity.  Cystic Fibrosis Awareness is particularly important to me to raise awareness, as I have a family member with this terrible disease.  It is a hard disease to live with, but I feel as those who have it are strong and fight against it.  I am always looking towards the future for the cure, and with research and donations, I hope that one day this disease will no longer be able to hurt any of the ones we love.

You can purchase Enchanted Polish at http://www.enchantedpolish.com/, and stay up to date with Enchanted Polish on Facebook. I recommend checking out the Llarowe and Harlow & Co. shops to see other pretties by Enchanted Polish! There are some amazing colors available, but a lot are out of stock! They restock quite a bit, so make sure to follow them on Facebook for shop updates, Llarowe - Facebook and Harlow & Co. Facebook.  Enchanted Polish sells out very quickly, as it is in high demand!  You can sign up for e-mails to be notified on the website for restocks!

For Purple Roses, I used 2 coats along with Clearly on Top by KBShimmer.

The base is a gorgeous purple foil that shines beautifully with the holo!  The two are a stunning combination together!  Below is blurred to show the sparkle!

Here is Purple Roses in the shade.

For children, Cystic Fibrosis is hard to say.  I mean, even as an adult, I think it's a mouthful!  So when a child was one trying to say it, it came out 65 Roses and the name has become apart of Cystic Fibrosis Awareness.  That is one of my favorite stories that I've heard, as even through such a scary disease, could come something so beautiful as the image of a rose.  Also, Cystic Fibrosis is represented by the color purple.  That is part of why I think this polish is so special and perfect for the representation of CF!

I found this while searching Purple Roses & Cystic Fibrosis and thought it was perfect to share!

And here it is in my light box.

Close up in the sun!

Isn't this a beautiful polish?  I love the idea behind it and how stunning it is.  This polish will always be very close to my heart.  Another reason why the nail polish community has so much more depth and meaning than just a bottle of polish!  It's also about the generosity, kindness, and love that we all share.

WingDust - Swatch-A-Thon!

Hello Everyone!!  It's been a little bit!  Hope everyone is doing great!!  I'm so thankful we've been having warmer weather.  Although, I heard it's supposed to drop again (Mother Nature, figure it out already!! hehe).  So things are still crazy.  I apologize to you, my lovely readers, as well as to all the amazing brands I am working with swatching for review.  Your patience means so much to me right now.  I had been hoping a weekend away camping would help some of my stress, but Monday was still Monday at work! haha 

In all seriousness though, I had a nice week away working on a few other things and the weekend was so much fun!  I missed you lovelies though ;-)  I am going to try my best to get back on track and have lots of swatches for you!!  I did break a few nails while camping though! Oops! ;-)  I'm sure you'll notice once I get to those posts!!

Today, we have the amazing WingDust on the blog!!  Her creations are SO beautiful.  I cannot wait to show you these!  You can purchase WingDustCollections HERE on Etsy or HERE on Llarowe. You can stay up to date with WingDustCollections on Facebook and Instagram - @wingdust for new shades, coupon codes, and reviews. She has amazing creations to choose from, so please make sure to check them out!

 

Also, Stephanie, the owner, posted an update on her blog - HERE - about moving.  So I suggest if you have your eye on a color, snag it now before she takes a mini break!!  I wish her lots of luck and hope that everything goes smoothly over the next few months! 

So let's get started with Spring Has Sprung.

For Spring Has Sprung, I used 2 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

What a gorgeous shade!!!  I love this Spring-like green with the little purple, gold, blue, and green glitters!  It just shimmers in the light so beautifully!

Close up!

Next up, Moonlight Sonata!

For Moonlight Sonata, I used 3 coats along with Clearly on Top by KBShimmer.

I probably could have gotten away with 2 coats or layered it over black, but with black jellies with glitter, I love love love to layer to get that squishy look!  And these teal, blue, and silver glitters look so awesome in the black jelly!  I even see some purple glitters that shine holographically!

Close up!

Next, Lilacs in June.

For Lilacs in June, I used 2 coats along with Clearly on Top by KBShimmer.

What a gorgeous light purple/pink with purple, silver, and green glitters.  Stephanie's combos always make me drool!!  I just love this!

Close up!  Love that subtle shimmer in the base!!

Next, Space Cadet.

For Space Cadet, I used 2 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Another gorgeous shade of black with holographic glitters and the tiny dust of scattered linear holo too!  My camera wouldn't capture it, but it's so beautiful!  I love how it looks speckled!

Close up!  You can see the tiny flecks of silver that would be holo in the sun!

Next, I Am Yours & You Are Mine.

For I Am Yours & You Are Mine, I used 2 coats along with Clearly on Top by KBShimmer.

What a cute name!  And beautiful red/fuchsia color.  The bottle looks more red, but since it has a jelly base, it would take maybe another coat or two to be darker.  I actually loved it just like this!!  Again, this base has a scattered holo that my camera wouldn't catch.  I just love the pops of pink and gold through it!

Close up!  Pretend those little tiny flecks are showing holo please :-(  haha I'll be happy when the sun stays out for Summer ;-)

Last, but never least, Sleepless Summer Nights!  Is it me, or does Stephanie have some really cute names for these!!

For Sleepless Summer Nights, I used 2 coats along with Clearly on Top by KBShimmer.

I cannot get over this one.  It is just so different!  I love the teal jelly base, and the brown with the green and gold!  The word "chunky" comes to mind, but in a totally fun way!  I see stars in here now that I'm looking closer at the bottle, but I didn't dig around for them :-(  Sorry!

Close up!! YUM.

I hope you liked this look at WingDust!  I have to say, I just love the labels that Stephanie uses!  Her bottles are so pretty, but the inside is just as beautiful!  Plus, I have to say that her formula is fantastic.  Overall, one of my favorite up and coming Indie Brands!!!

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.
