Nerd Lacquer - Scully

Hi Everyone!!  So I cannot even express how happy I am that Nerd Lacquer is back!  I was so worried about the owner, Amanda, and am so glad that the nail community could welcome her back with open arms. Amanda has gone through a lot over the last year, and my heart goes out to her.  It is so inspiring to see her get back into action though!!

Today, I have the last of my trio of Harlow & Co. Exclusives by Nerd Lacquer.  This is Scully!  I am beyond excited to have gotten this, as it is so so stunning!  Since Nerd Lacquers sell out so quickly, I hope Amanda will be making lots and lots more to share the NL love!

You can view my other post (it's so old and these need to be reswatched but I haven't had the time) - HERE!  This features the other two of the trio, which would be Han Shot First and Batcave!! I refreshed for those for like 3 hours back when NL was first out!  I have held those as prized possessions (LOL) and was sad to miss Scully, but am glad I got my paws on it now!  And honestly, after a year or so of Nerd Lacquer not being in production, I was so sad for everyone to miss out on the beauty that is Nerd Lacquer!! I kept my NLs on the shelf tucked away because I know how much it stinks to want something you can't have and I never wanted to "show off".  I do hope that each and every one of you are able to snag the ones you've been waiting for!  I know it can be hard trying to fight the crowds, but these are worth all the patience and waiting!  Promise!

Ok, sorry for the side notes haha :-)  You can purchase Nerd Lacquer at http://nerdlacquer.com/  Now, of course, there is a huge demand for them!  Amanda uses Google+ for notifications, so I recommend following her HERE to stay up to date on info!  You can also purchase from Harlow & Co. and Ninja Polish.

So here is Scully!!!  The flecks looked pink under my light box!

For this mani, I used 2 coats of Scully along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  The next couple of pictures are outside as the sun was setting.

I love the silver glitters that are in this!!  They are gorgeous!  Along with the white in this peachy base!  The lighting really changes how it looks too!  I mentioned about that the flecks looked pink....

But in my bedroom and kitchen, the flecks had a blue/purple look to them!!  SO gorgeous!

Here is a close up of the bottle in my kitchen lighting!  (Sorry it's blurry)

Close up - light box!

I hope you enjoyed this look at Nerd Lacquer Scully!!  We missed you, Amanda!! SO SO SO glad you are back and better than ever!

Sindie Pop - Disney Princesses Collection

 

Hello Everyone!! Happy Friday! :-) And it is a long weekend over here because we have Monday off for Labor Day!! WOO HOO!! I'm also SO excited because Monday will be my one year anniversary of marriage with my dear hubby, Mr. CC!!!!! Would you guys like me to sneak in some wedding pictures in with Monday's post?  I would love to share a glimpse of that special day with you all!

I'm also excited because today I have a new to me Indie Brand to show you called Sindie POP!  Jessica, the owner, is a sweetheart!  We have e-mailed back and forth and she was kind enough to give me a little background on herself, as well as some details and descriptions on the colors she created.  I love learning more about colors and their names!  I think this collection is adorable and I hope you enjoy all the pictures.

Here is a little bit of information Jessica wanted to share with you!!

My name's Jessica and I want to put a little POP in your life. I created Sindie POP Lacquer because I'm the kind of person who values individuality. I also happened to be addicted to nail polish. When I discovered indie nail polishes I was quickly intrigued. The idea of having a nail polish that was custom made was amazing to me. I've always had a creative mind that needed outlets so I figured why not give it a try. So during my summer vacation from college I bit the bullet and invested all of the money I had saved up into this little adventure. I like to think of it more as an adventure than a business because making these nail polishes is the closest thing I have to fun in my life haha. This experience was originally going to be just a summer venture but I've enjoyed the whole experience so much that I can definitely see myself doing this for a long time to come. I love making the polishes knowing that every single one is a unique experience for every person using it. I will always try my best to make sure that you are left with nothing less than a smile on your face. I put 100% into everything from the creation process to the packaging process. I appreciate all kinds of feedback because there is always room for improvement. I hope you enjoy all of my products as much as I enjoy making them for you.

You can purchase these beauties at http://sindiepoplacquer.ecrater.com/.  Full sizes are $8 and minis are $4.

Ring My Belle Nail Lacquer *15ml*
Inspired by Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Ring My Belle is a sheer pale yellow nail polish with a hint of shimmer and small and large gold hex glitters. It can be worn alone with nice coverage in 1-2 coats, or it can also be added over nail polishes in the same color family for added beauty.

For this mani, I used 2 coats plus Wicked Fast top coat by Cult Nails.  I love how the gold shimmered and the glitters reflected!  I have been looking for a gold polish like this and have a few layering ideas that I will be sharing with you soon!

Kiss My...Toad! Nail Lacquer *15ml*
Inspired by Tiana from The Princess and the Frog. Kiss My...Toad! is a sheer medium yellow green nail polish with a hint of shimmer. It's filled with medium sized light green hex glitter and small silver glitter. It can be worn alone with nice coverage in 2-3 coats, or it can also be added over nail polishes in the same color family for added beauty.

I used 2 coats with Wicked Fast top coat.  This is another one I want to try layering with too!  I thought this and Ring My Belle were both going to be too sheer to wear alone, but they really surprised me!  In a great way, of course. 

Kiss Of Life Nail Lacquer *15ml*
Inspired by Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. Kiss Of Life is a sheer magenta pink nail polish with a hint of shimmer. It's filled with medium sized red, green, and turquoise hex glitter. It can be worn alone with nice coverage in 1-2 coats, or it can also be added over nail polishes in the same color family for added beauty.

When I originally saw this in the bottle, I wasn't sure that I'd like it.  Then on the nail, I fell instantly in love.  I used 2 coats with Wicked Fast top coat.  To me this is almost a peachy pink color depending on the light, which I just love on my skintone!  The gold glitter through it is subtle and the little pops of green, blue, and red really add to this to make it very unique!  I can maybe layer this one too, but I do love it just by itself.  And Sleeping Beauty has always been my nickname, lol!! I seriously could sleep 24 hours and still be tired... Everyone said I'd grow out of it, but my favorite part about the weekend is to be able to SLEEP IN! ;-) hehe

Mermaid To Love Him Nail Lacquer *15ml*
Inspired by Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Mermaid To Love Him is an explosion of glitter in a clear base. It's filled with medium sized red, green, light green, purple, and turquoise hex glitter. It can be worn alone with nice coverage in 2 coats, or it can be layered over a black for added beauty (which I recommend). This polish can pretty much be worn over any color and will look beautiful.

I wanted to show you this polish alone.  I actually didn't even use a top coat with this one.  This is 1 coat.  I like how much coverage you get with just one coat and I had to show you guys that.  I have plans to layer this, but first wanted to just show the beauty of the glitter alone.  Mr. CC wants to see this over black and matted, so I will have to try that for him :-)  I also might do some quick skittles so you can see how it looks over multiple colors.  I really love how the glitters reflect in this one!  The colors look great together.  I am also a big fan of The Little Mermaid because it was my first movie to see in theaters!  I don't remember, being only 3 years old, but my Mom tells me that all the time.  And growing up I always did love mermaids!!  One of my birthdays my Mom made me an Ariel cake (she is an artist and is does amazing work!!).  These movies are the classics!! :-)  (but the new cartoons do have a place in my heart too!)

 

I hope you enjoyed this look at Sindie POP!  I am thrilled to be able to show you guys this collection!  Make sure you check out http://sindiepoplacquer.ecrater.com/ for purchasing!  You can also check out Jessica's Instagram, RandomJazzica, where she previews colors!!

I hope you all have a great weekend!!!  And if yours is a long one too, relax and sleep in like I am!! hehe!  Can you believe today is the last day of August!??  Where did you go Summer!?

Much Love,
Crystal
