QT Nails - Crunchy Bones
Hello Everyone!! I'm starting to feel better :-) Thank you all for your well wishes! And welcome to all my new friends here! I hope you have entered the Harvest Time Giveaway!
Today I have Crunchy Bones to show you from QT Nails! You can find Crunchy Bones on Etsy at QT Nails shop for $8.50. You can also follow QT Nails Facebook to get information on colors and updates! Newsha, the owner, has so many gorgeous polishes available at her shop! I recommend checking them all out!!
You can also find more information on QT Nails on Instagram at @Newieee - including swatches of colors available!
Crunchy Bones is a beautiful black jelly with holographic hexagons throughout. I used 2 coats plus topped with Seche Vite. The first coat lays on pretty nice and thick, so I used the second coat to smooth and place my glitters. I sort of plopped the polish on and spread it out with the brush so the holographic pieces showed through. A light swipe of the brush helps bring them to the top. Hopefully that makes sense! I love the outcome of how it turned out! This polish is gorgeous! It's like a surprise to catch the reflection of the glitter in this deep mysterious polish!
The glitter settles a little bit, so before using, I recommend giving a good shake. You don't want bubbles in your polish though, so sit upside down (I set mine between other bottles so it doesn't fall over) to settle for 10-15 minutes. This should bring the glitter to the top, making it easier to apply and get on the brush.
Even in the shade this beauty sparkles!
And here is a nice close up! These are silver holographic hexagons that will shine the rainbow of colors!
I hope you enjoyed today's post! The name is so cute and definitely reminds me of Halloween! This would be a great addition to your collection to wear with your costume! I love it!
Hope you all have a great day!
Much Love,
Crystal

XOXO Nails - Spring Fling
Hi All!!! Still sick here. In fact, how is it even possible I'm worse!? So I apologize, but today will be short and sweet, but don't worry - lots of pics for you guys!
For my bases, I picked 2 of my favorite "Spring" polishes. I know we're not really there yet, but if I had my way, we'd skip Winter! ;-) lol These two I've used to create a diagonal combo before and I love that look. Instead, I wanted to just use the accent nail look. I used China Glaze Tantalize Me and Zoya Gemma. Both colors are at 2 coats. Both have a gorgeous duochrome shimmer running through the polish. In my opinion, they just go! And for this mani, I thought they'd be perfect.
I then applied 1 coat of Spring Fling by XOXO Nails and finished with Seche Vite. Elektra, the owner, is such a sweetheart! We met through Instagram. Not only does she create gorgeous polishes, she is great at manicures too! Make sure you check her out on Instagram - @xoxo_nails. She is also on Facebook and Twitter - @xoxo_nails. Her shop on Etsy, XOXO Nails, has full size bottles for $9.00, but she does have a few sets at discounted prices! Here is Spring Fling!
Spring Fling is a clear base with pretty pastel glitters of pink, green and yellow. I especially love the pink squares in this! I may be a little early seasonally, but I am in love with this look!
I hope you enjoyed this look! And don't forget to check out XOXO Nails on Etsy! She has full size bottles for $9.00, but she does have a few sets at discounted prices! Here is Spring Fling!
Hope you have a great day! And don't forget to enter my Harvest Time Giveaway!

U-Neek Polish - Fall Collection
Hello Everyone! Hopefully you all had a great weekend! Unfortunately, I'm still feeling sick :-( But thank you so much for all of your well wishes! I am probably going to go to work today, but not without my BFF, DayQuil!! lol I think it's from all the changes of the weather. Fall is definitely here! And speaking of Fall, here is the Fall Collection by U-Neek Polish!!!
You can purchase U-Neek Polish and Janet's Fall Collection on Etsy. Full size polishes are $8 and minis are $4 to $4.25 each. Also, you can follow her on Instagram - @oneandonlyjanet.
And GUESS WHAT!? Janet is kind enough to offer all of you a 20% off coupon for her shop! The Coupon Code is: "Crystal", so make sure you check it out - U-Neek Polish.
First up is Autumn. It has a gold base with Fire Red, Emerald Green & Golden Orange glitters. I used 3 coats with Wicked Fast top coat. It is a bit sheer, but that makes for great layering! It is a nice shimmery gold base and it really does remind me of the Autumn season!
Next up, we have Penny, which is a copper base with copper sparks. I used 3 coats with Wicked Fast top coat by Cult Nails. It is another one that could either be worn like I have or would be gorgeous layered!
I used Hayden by Julep as my base for the next color. This is 2 coats.
Over Hayden, I layered 1 coat of Northwest. It is named after Janet's high school because it is their colors. Northwest is a clear base with black and orange glitters. I topped this with Wicked Fast top coat.
For the last mani, I used Almost Paradise for my base. This is 2 coats. I also used this for the giveaway post - don't forget to enter! Harvest Time Giveaway!
Last but not least, this is Central. It is a clear base with emerald green, ocean spray & chart reuse glitters. It is named after Janet's son's high school colors. I love the way this glitter sparkles! I used 1 coat and topped it with Wicked Fast.
Blurred to show the glitters sparkling!
So I hope you enjoyed this look at U-Neek Polish! This is my first time trying this brand and I LOVE it! I want to try layering the first two to see what combinations I can come up with! All applied very well!
Don't forget, 20% off coupon for Janet's shop! The Coupon Code is: "Crystal", so make sure you check it out - U-Neek Polish.
I hope you all have a great day!!
