Vapid Lacquer- Broken Flower Pot

Krys from Vapid Lacquer/Smelly Goods and Pretties sent me another one of her gorgeous new polishes. (For an honest review!) This one is also available in the store right now and gorgeous so make sure you snatch it up soon!


This one is called: Broken Flower Pot (Don't you wish you knew if there was a story behind that one!? I know I do!)

Broken Flower Pot is a terracotta colored linear holographic polish. (Oh boy is it packed full of holo!) This is also a 4-Free and cruelty free polish (as all Vapid Lacquer polishes are)!

I used only 2 thin coats of Broken Flower Pot and one coat of Vapid Lacquer Quick Dry Top Coat to achieve this look. The formula is fabulous and dry time is not bad at all. Super impressed all around. :)

This is a color that will go great with any season. Don't you agree?



I really love how the holo shines in the sun! <3 So gorgeous!

Broken Flower Pot is available on the Vapid Lacquer bigcartel site for only $10 for a full size (15mL) bottle and $5 for a mini (5mL) size bottle.

******* Funny off topic (well kind of) story. I had an ex who named his cat (when he was in kindergarten) Flower Pot. hehehehe ********

Vapid Lacquer - You Really Blue It

Krys from Vapid Lacquer/Smelly Goods and Pretties sent me another one of her gorgeous new polishes. (For an honest review!) This one is available in the store right now (It is gorgeous so hurry if you fall in love because I have no doubt that it will sell out fast!)


It is called: You Really Blue It.
Unlike the name. . . Krys did not blow it on this one. (I haven't met a Vapid Lacquer yet that she has though hehe).

I am a blue polish hoarder. I am obsessed with it. If it is holo . . . even better! Seriously. . . I get the crazy eye for it.



You Really Blue It hits both of these categories!

You Really Blue it is a royal blue jelly linear holographic polish (Like Grape Stomp!) Absolutely jam packed with holo! It is also a 4-free and cruelty polish.

I used 3 coats of polish (you could get away with 2 coats though!) and topped it off with Vapid Lacquer Quick Dry Top Coat. You Really Blue It has an amazing formula! I think I need to look into getting some more of Vapid Lacquer's jelly polishes. I am so in love!

P.S. Don't you love that it is finally acting like Spring? I am finally able to get gorgeous sun shots!

You Really Blue It is available for purchase for only $9 for a 15mL full size bottle and $4.50 for a 5mL mini bottle.

This is a MUST have polish. I've been wearing it since Tuesday and there is no sign of wear yet. I would keep this beauty on longer (because it is gorgeous and I LOVE blue!!), but I have one more new Vapid Lacquer polish to share with you!

Vapid Lacquer Betwixt

So I was talking to Krys from Vapid Lacquer/Smelly Goods & Pretties, because we all know I am pretty obsessed with her polishes which are gorgeous and have amazing formulas. Anyway. . . I was raving about how much I loved Grape Stomp because it has such a strong linear holo. I told her that I would die and go to heaven if she made a thermal with a linear holo like Grape Stomp. The polish of my dreams!! Guess what? She agreed to try and sent me the result to test. It is heaven in a bottle!

I'm sure you have seen a few sneak peeks on her Facebook as well as mine.

YES SHE DID!!! (Prepare to be mesmerized).

Behold. . . Betwixt!

Betwixt is a gorgeous thermal polish which is light blue when warm and purple when cold. Do you see the amazing linear holo!? Holy WOW! I am so in love.

Betwixt like all Vapid Lacquers is a 4-Free and cruelty free polish. I used only 2 coats of polish to achieve this look (topped off with Vapid Lacquer Quick Dry Top Coat)

When Betwixt comes available it will be around $12 for a full size bottle. Totally worth it with that gorgeous linear holo AND thermal change!! (I've only ever seen scattered holo thermals before). Amazing! I really hope she comes out with more! <3


Check out Betwixt in action!!!


Be sure to keep you eyes peeled for this baby!! You won't want to miss this release!

Ruby White Tips - Don't Open Dead Inside

Tonight on the blog I have another polish from one of my favorite indie polish brands, Ruby White Tips. This specific polish is from Ruby White Tips The Walking Dead collection. I am a HUGE fan of the show so I was super excited to receive this one in a mystery bag.

Don't Open Dead Inside is a gorgeous deep purple polish. Like all RWT polishes, Don't Open Dead Inside is 5-free and also vegan friendly.

This look was achieved with 2 thin coats of polish and 1 coat of topcoat. (It goes on so smooth and dark that you might even get away with one coat, but I wanted to make sure I covered up any brush marks). I am so in love with this gorgeous purple. It was the perfect color to match a dress I wore Saturday night to a family function. :) I love it when things work out like that!!


Don't Open Dead Inside is available on the Ruby White Tips etsy page for only $9.50!

Avon Nailwear Pro + swatch and review

I met Jodi through a group on Facebook and when she mentioned that she had signed up to be an Avon Rep and was looking for some bloggers to do a review on Avon polish, I gave her my link. (The more I can share with you the better!!) She sent me two Avon polishes in the mail for an honest review. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality that Avon polishes had to offer. I've never tried the brand before now and figured with the cheaper prices that the polish would also be cheap quality. I stand corrected.

Jodi sent me Cherry Jubilee and Gunmetal.

Cherry Jubilee:

Cherry Jubilee applied very nicely. I was really surprised to see that I only needed 2 coats of polish to achieve this look. (One coat is pretty dark as well but I applied two coats to cover up my brush marks). Cherry Jubilee dried so fast on me that I had to double check the bottle. I thought it might have been the speed dry type. It's not. I'm really curious to see how fast the speed dry polishes by Avon dry. I'm not normally a red fan on my own nails. It tends to look silly on me. However, I fell in love with this shade. I'm thinking because it is more of a maroon.



Gunmetal:

Gunmetal applied just as nice! Same dry speed. I am super impressed!! (2 coats again here).


Both polishes are shown with topcoat but really did not need any since they have a high shine finish of their own!


Here is a little bit of nail art for you!

Avon nailwear pro+ polishes are only $6 on the Avon website! (Holy wow! What an awesome price!!)

You can buy Avon nailwear pro+ on Jodi's Avon site here: http://freetailtherapy.avonrepresentative.com/

I highly recommend!!

Ruby White Tips - That's How We Roll in the Shire

I am super super excited to show you this beautiful new polish from Ruby White Tips! Good news too! It just became available today for purchase. I had the pleasure of getting to swatch it for Laura's website. I am such a proud blogger right now with my pictures up front and center for this gorgeous pink polish!

This is "That's How We Roll in the Shire." This polish is the first to be released to you from the new Hobbit inspired collection at Ruby White Tips. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for new colors in the collection making their debut in the future as well!

I am a massive fan of this gorgeous bright pink color. There is also an amazing sparkle to it with all the beautiful micro glitter packed into it. Not only does this polish have a pop of pink, but it also has a hint of purplish blue tone to it. I could stare at my nails all day with this one! (Even the bottle, it is taking me forever to write this post because I keep stopping to twirl the bottle to watch the magic). Honestly a stunner!

Sun Shots!!!


Have you fallen in love yet?

That's How We Roll in the Shire is a 5-free and cruelty free polish. It goes on so smooth (like butter!) and dries quick. I used 2 coats of polish and topcoat to achieve this look.

I told Laura that this is going to be filed in my touch-it-and-you-die-a-miserable-death-not-going-to-share-pile. <3 <3 <3 Did I mention that this polish is only $9.75 for a full size bottle? Well? What are you waiting for? Go buy it!!! ;) (Because. . . I won't share mine!)

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer April Showers Collection

Tonight on the blog (as promised) I have 3 beautiful polishes sent for an honest review to me from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer. These three polishes are from her upcoming April Showers collection, set to release this Sunday April 27 at 3:30 pm EDT. You will not want to miss out on these beauties! (Stock will be low but depending on popularity, Julie may bring them back for the May restock)!


Colors from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer's April Shower Collection will include the following:

Dogwood – white crelly packed with silver shimmer, purple micro-flakies, and multicolored iridescent flakies.
Peruvian Lily – pastel orange crème with a red to gold shift.
Cherry Blossom – pastel pink crelly with a teal to purple shift.
Purple Phlox – purple crème with blue to purple iridescent micro glitters.
Lady Slipper – mint green crème with a blue to purple shift.
Hydrangea –pastel blue crème packed with purple, blue, and aqua shimmers.



I was sent the following three: Peruvian Lily, Dogwood and Hydrangea.

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer used the old saying "April Showers, Bring May Flowers," as an inspiration for this new line. It is supposed to be an array of soft pastel floral colors with the look of dewy rain on them. I believe she hit it right on the dot!

First up: Peruvian Lily

Peruvian Lily is a pastel orange creme with a red to gold shift. I also noticed a bit of pinkish shimmer to it. (So lovely!)

To achieve this look I used 3 thin coats of polish and topped it off with topcoat. I really enjoyed the formula of Peruvian Lily, as it goes on very smooth, dries in a pretty quick amount of time and has amazing coverage. Plus how cute are these rectangle bottles? (One of my favorite bottle shapes!)

Peruvian Lily will be sold on the Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer bigcartel site for $12 for a full size bottle. It is such a unique color and is definitely a must have for your collection!


Next: Dogwood

Dogwood is a white crelly polish packed with silver shimmer, purple micro-flakies, and multicolored iridescent flakies. I'm not usually a fan of white polish and mostly save it for polish undies but I can see myself pulling this one out to wear again as just a plain (but shimmery!) mani.

Again, love the formula. I used 3 thin coats to achieve this look (topped off with topcoat). However, I must admit I was tempted to leave it at one or two coats because it looks lovely with less coats of polish as well. (If you want to go for a more sheer, subtle shimmery look!)

Dogwood will be available Sunday on the Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer bigcartel site for only $8.50 for a full size bottle. Worn as a mani, or as undies for nail art. . . this is a must have as well!

Last: Hydrangea

Hydrangea is a pastel blue crème packed with purple, blue, and aqua shimmers. So beautiful! This was one of my favorites! (You all know blue is my favorite polish color!)

I achieved this look with 3 thin coats of polish and topped it off with topcoat. Holy cow! I am so glad I was able to catch the gorgeous shimmer in this picture! LOVE the formula and at only $8.50 for a full size bottle you should be running to her site on Sunday to buy this gorgeous baby blue!




I was super impressed with all three polishes!

Notes from the maker:

A few of the older Core Line, Winter Collection, and Valentine’s Day Collection polishes will also be restocked during this sale, and they include Watch the Walls, Self Satisfied, Tacky Winter Sweater, Skating in the Snow, Idealistic Future, and the December Duo. Prices for these polishes will be reduced to $6 for each individual polish and $10 for the Duo.

Please note, sadly, my cost of production has increased due to the rising prices of raw materials. As such, I have had to increase the cost of future collections. All old collection polishes will retain their old pricing. From here on out, the new pricing structure will be $8.50 for glitters/cremes/shimmers, $12 for shifters/duos/holos, and $13 for LEs. I appreciate your understanding!
