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!

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)

Trust Fund Beauty

Hi guys! I recently won a giveaway on Instagram from Trust Fund Beauty and I'm going to share my winnings with you today! Trust Fund Beauty is a newer Canadian Indie polish company based out of Montreal. The polishes have sassy names such as "Nip Slip", "Do You Know Who My Father is?", and "I Look Good Nude". They also have funny captions to go with the descriptions. 
Both the polishes I received had awesome formulas with no issues at all and quick dry time. The packaging is super cute, each bottle comes in a box. 



First is "Gossip Mag"
    Artificial lighting

The caption for this on their site is "Let them talk! It's not your fault you're so interesting. Besides, everytime they buy a mag with your face on the cover, you get a thrill. The people need to be entertained, and who are you to deny the world your sexy self?" This is a red orange and almost a one coater. I used two for the photos above with no top coat. Look at the shine!!

Lastly, "Is He Rich?"
    Artificial lighting 
    Shade

The caption on the site reads "A question that is often asked, and the answer is always the same. Obvi! Why waste your time otherwise?"  This a a deep turquoise. Unfortunately, my camera hates me and I couldn't get an accurate colour shot. :( two coats, no topcoat. 

I highly recomend checking this company out. You can find them on Instagram at @trustfundbeauty or trustfundbeauty.com

Manglaze Mink Mittens

Hey!! Today I have my first Manglaze polish to show y'all, it's called "Mink Mittens". First off I'm going to state 3 things: 1- I indie polishes 2- purple is my fave colour and 3- I'm matte obsessed. This polish is ALL 3 things!!!! This polish had a bad ass formula, and a super quick dry time. This post is pic heavy...you've been warned. Lol

    Indoor lighting 

    Natural lighting

   Macro/indoor lighting 


    Macro/natural lighting


On my ring finger I added a topcoat. I'm not sure how to describe this polish. Somewhat foil? Who cares, it rocks and it has an awesome bottle!! The topcoat reduced the foil look. 

@manglaze is their Instagram account and if you want to purchase go to manglaze.com if you're canadian, you can order from amazon.com :)

Polish Addict Nail Color In Bloom, The Prince & The Showgirl and Vanellope Von Schweetz

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been away, just finished moving to a new place! Laura and Crystal released some re formulated polishes from last year, I grabbed 2:In Bloom and The Prince & The Showgirl (part of the "She's a Legend" trio), plus Vanellope Von Schweetz!

**Just to warn y'all, this post is somewhat pic heavy :p **

The Prince & The Showgirl is a beautiful blue holo with what appears to also be somewhat of a chrome. 
    Indoor lighting. 
    With flash
    Another flash shot. 

I unfortunately wasn't able to get a sun shot because it's been so rainy and gloomy here. 

   This macro shot shows the chrome. 

I used 3 coats and topcoat for the above photos. The application was thin on the first coat but built up nicely. As always, great formula and dry time! I really want the rest from this collection. If you're a polish and Marilyn Monroe fan, you need these!!

Here's "In Bloom"

    Indoor lighting. 
    
This is a pale green crelly LOADED with all sorts of glitters. Stars,flowers,assorted sized colors and sizes of squares, and assorted sizes and color circles. Also, matte and holo! I'm not much if a green fan, to be honest, so I only ordered a mini size which in now regretting. Everyone needs this polish in their life, seriously. I didn't really have any issues grabbing glitters except for the flowers and stars which is to be expected and I didn't mind  at all lol. This is 3 coats and topcoat, great formula too. 

I used In Bloom with a matte topcoat and Sally Hansens "Mint Tint". 


It looks awesome matte!! 

This is "Vanellope Von Schweetz"
    Indoor lighting. 
    Macro shot!

First off, this polish is super fun! I love the random glitter assortment. Microglitters, tiny bars, squares, hexagons and circles of various shapes and colours. Some are matte and holo too! Flawless application and had no problems at all getting some of the bigger glitters. This is 3 coats and topcoat.
