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?!

Zoya - Fall PixieDust

Press Sample


Hi Everyone!! Today I have a Matte vs Glossy of Zoya Fall PixieDust of 2013!  Aren't these stunning?  Better late than never to show you all, right? ;-)   If you're like me, polish has no season!!! lol

I actually wanted to mention that.  Thank you all for your kindness over the last 6 months as I transitioned into my new career path!  I can't believe how much I love my new job.  It was a lot to take on, but I'm happy to say that things are going well.  I'm hoping 2014 will slow down a little to allow me back into blogging regularly.  Now, I can't make guarantees because life changes so quickly, but my plan is ease back into it, making sure I cover all the reviews I owe.

If you have questions or would like to talk to me personally, please contact me at CrystalsCrazyCombos@gmail.com.  I had to pull back from my social media, as it became too much for me.  However, I've been having fun getting back into chatting and polish shopping!!  With that, of course I had to snag some new pretties that I couldn't resist!!  So between all my untrieds, the polishes to review, and the new ones on the way - I'll have plenty to keep myself busy!!  I hope no one minds a mix of old and new, since sometimes the older polishes can be hard to find.

Again, I can't thank you all enough.  I put this huge pressure on myself about all of this, but it seems you all understand :-)  That means so much to me. My blog is to share what I know and what I've tried, so to be received and loved by the community is the greatest gift.  I wish you all the best in 2014!! Let's have a great year!!

Anyway, in case you forgot (hehe) here is the Zoya Fall PixieDust without top coat!



And glossy!  I used KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Since these are textured polishes, a second top coat may be necessary, as we know glitter loves to eat top coat!! ;-)


These gorgeous PixieDust colors are available through http://www.zoya.com/ (directly listed HERE) for $10 each.

Also, a great promotion is available for 3 free* polishes!!! (*there is a $12 Shipping & Processing fee) Read more information HERE.  If you spend $25 though, you can get free shipping!

So let's look closer at each shade!!  Lots of pics ;-)  First up, Tomoko.  This is 1 coat alone.  Isn't it stunning?  So elegant and easy for a quick mani!  So sparkly too!


Closer look!


And here is Tomoko with 2 coats.



Close up!


I added KBShimmer Clearly on Top to the 2 coats of Tomoko.  Beautiful!


Close up!  Love that glitzy finish!


Next up, Chita!  Here is 2 coats.  It's so close to being a one coater!  I didn't want to have it too thick for photos, but I bet you could get away with 1 thicker coat!



Close up!


Here is Chita with 2 coats and topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


It's such a beautiful forest green.  I just love it!


Close up.


The beautiful blue Sunshine with 2 coats!  Another almost 1 coater!



Close up!


And here is Sunshine with 2 coats topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


I did add another coat of Clearly on Top for the picture below.  I LOVE it so glossy - it's like stars in a (not so dark) night sky!



Next, 1 coat of Carter.  I put this on and I was kinda like "hmmm...I don't think I'm going to like this," but....


add another coat....and LOOK!


Stunning.  It amazes me that the second coat transforms this into such a beauty!  I was worried, I'm not going to lie, but patience is a virtue haha.  Not everything can be beautiful in one coat ;-) haha


Close up!


Here is Carter with 2 coats and Clearly on Top by KBShimmer in my horrible bedroom lighting.  It sparkles beautifully though, so I had to share!

Next is Arabella.  Shown with two coats.

And last, but not least, 2 coats of Dhara.



Close up.

It's glowing!!  Love the gold with the orange.  It always adds such depth!


Blurred in the ring finger shows off that sparkle!
