Different Dimension

Hi guys! Today is just a quick post on a beauty I got my hands on that I received as a gift, Have A Grape Day from Different Dimension. It's a purple/blue thermal with shimmer! This is a first for me from this brand and it didn't let me down!

    Artificial light (cold state)

    Artificial light (warm state)

    Artificial light (transitioning)

 

Look at that shimmer!! I used 2 coats plus topcoat. It has an amazing formula, it went on super even and dried pretty quick too! 

You can find Different Dimension on Instagram @missibarry, she has so many beauties that I'm lusting for!

OPI Little Northies Set

Hey guys! The other day I went to my local beauty supply for some seche vite and of course I had to leave with some polish! I grabbed the mini set of 4 polishes from the Nordic fall/winter Collection. It comes with "My Dogsled Is A Hybrid","Do You Have This Color In Stock-holm?","My Voive Is A Little Norse" and "How Great Is Your Dane?" It's 3 creams and 1 glitter. 

Here's "My Dogsled Is A Hybrid"

    Artificial light 

Opi describes it as a creamy sea green, and it's gorgeous!! Application and dry time was good. I used 2 coats plus topcoat. 

Here's "Do You Have This Color In Stock-holm?"

    Artificial light

    Natural light 

Opi describes this a an icy blue violet. It's looks blue and purple in different lighting, definitely my fave from this set! I used 3 coats plus topcoat. 

This is "My Voice Is A Little Norse"

    Artificial light 

Opi describes this as a prismatic super-shimmer. I used 4 coats on bare nails with one coat of topcoat. I suggest using 2 because this is topcoat thirsty! Besides that, it's a super fun polish that would be great for a night out!

Lastly, "How Great Is Your Dane?"

    Artificial light

    Shade

Opi describes this a cinnamon coffee brown. It's a nice rich colour for fall! Application was super creamy and dry time was good. I used 2 coats plus topcoat. 

What do y'all think of these minis and the others from the collection? 

Thanks for stopping by!

Creative Cuticles Nail Polish Un Halloween Duo

Hey guys! I feel super lucky and honoured to be able to say that Kayla, owner and maker of polish beauties,from Creative Cuticles Nail Polish sent me a swatcher pack of her upcoming Un Halloween Duo! The idea behind the duo is that what is usually scary isn't and vice versa, hence names such as "Vegan Zombie" and "Acid Rainbow". How clever! The collection consists of a glitter crelly and a glitter topper. This collection is set to be released September 26th! Get you're wallets ready people, here come the swatches!!

First up is "Vegan Zombie"

    Artificial light

    Shade 

This is a glitter topper in a clear base with  skull and crossbones,matte purple,green and orange glitters and also orange and green hexagons. 

Guess what? It's also glow in the dark!!

The glow in this baby is so intense!! 

Application was good, I had to fish for the skull glitters but that is to be expected. Other then that, no issues! I layered it over Rimmel "Grey Matter".

Last but not least,"Acid Rainbow"

   Artificial light

    Shade

    Matte topcoat 

This is a grey crelly with multicoloured micro glitters. The glitter colours in this are perfect for fall/halloween! I'm going to be honest, I didn't think I'd like this one too much, but after wearing it I want to paint everything with it!! No joke! Perfect application with an excellent dry time. I used 3 coats and topcoat. 

Loot at these macros!!! (I'm drooling)

Essie Summer 2014 Collection

Hey guys! I was finally able to find Essie's Summer collection, better late than never right? Lol but of course I only got 4 of the  6 in the collection. I have such hard times finding complete collections!! 

All polishes are without topcoat, they're super shiny!!

First up is "Strut Yout Stuff"

    Artificial lighting 

Almost a one coater of a beautiful sky blue! Application was good, but this is a stainer! I would suggest using 2 coats of base coat prior to applying. 

Here's "Fierce, No Fear"

    Artificial light

This is a yummy chocolate brown, I really like it! Once again, almost a one coater! I was very impressed. 

Next is "Ruffles & Feathers"

    Artificial light

One of my faves from the collection!! This is what drew my eyes to the display! This was a one coater! Good job Essie! Application was the best for this polish. 

Lastly, "Urban Jungle" 

    Artificial light

This is an off white, I was most excited for this colour and this is the one I care less for. I noticed the brush was super thin, and after checking out Thepolishaholic's blog, I realized I was not alone, as she mentioned the same thing. I had to do three coats for it to look like this, and it's a mess! Patchy, thick, etc. 

What is fave from this collection? 

Thanks for stopping by!

Essence Dark Romance Collection

Hey guys! Today I have the three polishes from Essence's Dark Romance collection. It consists of one matte, texture, and one shimmer. 

First is "Gothic Gold"

    Artificial light

This is a gold texture, and it's so pretty in real life! It dried really fast and had good application. This is 2 coats. 

This is "Red Romance"

    Artificial light 

This dries to matte finish. I added topcoat to my ring finger so you can see the difference. The first coat looked a bit streaky, but the second fixed that up! This is 2 coats. 

Lastly, "Dark Night Starlight"

    Artificial light 

This is my fave, unexpectedly, from this collection. When I applied the first coat it looked blue! 

Look at this beauty!!! Good application and dry time. Two coats. 

I picked these up from Shoppers Drug mart for $2.49 each! Essence polish has awesome prices. 

Thanks for stopping by!
