Rainbow Honey's Magic Cake

Hey everyone!! I was recently lucky enough to win a Instagram Giveaway and one of the prizes was Rainbow Honey "Magic Cake"!! I was super excited because I've not tried any of their polishes before and have only good things about their products! 

    Natural light

 

This is one coat over a black base. Look at that! No fishing or dabbing, great dry time as well. 

Here's a macro! 

Oooh!! Aaah!!! I'll leave you with your thoughts. Lol :p

Black Cat Lacquer

Hey everyone! So, I placed my very first indie order ever just over a week ago with Black Cat Lacquer and received my goodies! 

The first one is "My Blue Valentine". 

    Natural light. 

I seriously cannot even begin to tell you all how gorgeous this polish is. It's a black jelly loaded with blue and turquoise hex and huge holo dot glitters!! Absolutely stunning! This is 2 coats with a topcoat. The formula was a bit gloopy but manageable and NO glitter fishing!!! 

Now if you know me, you know I love The Nightmare Before Christmas. So when I seen "The Pumpkin King", I had to have it. 

    Natural light. 

This is one coat over OPI "Skull & Glossbones". I left the bottle upside down for a few minutes because I wanted those pumpkins! There's skull and crossbones, bar, black and orange holo pumpkins, see though orange hex and various other awesome glitters!! All the glitters laid flat on my nail. This also has a topcoat. 

Last but not least, "Poison Apple" 

    Natural light. 

"Poison Apple" is a scattered holo red thermal. This photo is two coats with topcoat and shows the transition. 

Cold state

Warm state. 

It's even lightly scented like candy apples! How perfect is that?! This had an amazing formula, application and dry time. 

I'm so glad I ordered from BCL!

Polish Addict Nail Color

Hey guys! I recently received 5 Polish Addict Nail Color polishes from a friend. They're soo beautiful! It was actually a Mystery Box and it came with 4 polishes, plus my August birthday polish, cuticle oil, spectraflair topcoat, and a bunch of other nail goodies! 

First up is "Pool Party"

    Natural light

This is a super sparkly, multi-coloured glitter topper in a clear base. It's fantastic! This 2 thin coats over Essence's "Break Through". 

Here's "Anna". 

    Natural light. 

This is a pretty, frosty pink polish with scattered holo! 

    With flash. 

Ooooh!!!! So girly! I love it! I used 2 coats for the photos. 

This is the August birthday polish

    Artificial light. 

This is a blue/grey base with fun glitters in different colours and shapes! It's like confetti!! I'm just so happy that I was able to get this! Laura and co owner Crystal make special birthday polishes for people who order the Mystery Box. For example, this month would be a secret December polish for people with December birthdays! How cool is that?!! 

Up next is "Beauty & The Beach" 

    Natural light

Oooh! A light green base with assorted sizes and shapes of funky coloured glitter! I actually didn't think I was going to like this, but after I put it on I didn't want to take it off! Lol! One of my fave PANC I own. It even glows in the dark! 

    

My phone camera couldn't pick up the glow as well as it actually is!  I used 3 coats for these photos. 

This is "Island Girl"

    Natural light

This was another polish I didn't think I would like. Wrong! I love it! It's a pinkish/nudish base with purple,grey,pink and gold glitters. The name definitely suits this one. This is 2 coats.

China Glaze Happy HoliGlaze 2013

Hey! I have a few more polishes from China Glaze's Happy HoliGlaze Collection! Lets get right into with "Just Be-Claws"

    Natural light. 

Hands down, one of my fave reds in my collection! This red foil was perfect in two coats. Also no topcoat and dried pretty fast. 

This is "Put A Bow On it" 

   Natural light

This is a purple micro glitter in a clear base. Opaque in only two coats! It dried a bit dull so I'm sure a nice thick top coat would bring out the sparkle quite a bit! 

That's it for this post, thanks!

Wicked Polish

Hello!! So about over a year ago, I joined the nail community on Instagram and discovered Rylee, AKA, Wicked Polish. Ever since then, any of her polishes have been a lemming for me lol! I finally got two thanks to my nail mail buddy! 

Here's the lovely "Drunk In Public"

    Natural light. 

This is a white crelly with assorted coloured neon glitters. This totally reminds me of cupcake icing! This is two coats with no topcoat. 

Here's "Prowling" 

    Natural lighting

This is seriously soo sparkly in real life, it's crazy. This is a blue jelly with holo glitters and stars. It glows faintly, but I wasn't able to capture it. The formula was a bit thick but didn't effect the application. This is two coats, no topcoat. 

If you're interested in purchasing from Wicked Polish, you can go to @wickedpolish on Instagram or go to wickedpolish.com.

Trelly Polish

Hi everyone! I've been so lucky to try my first glitter bomb Trelly Polish's courtesy of my nail mail buddy! 

First up is "Pool Toys"

   Natural light. 

Look at that! This is one coat over OPI "Skull And Glossbones" and a coat of Seche Vite. I'm in love with these glitters, the black and blue circles, butterflies, and black rectangles are my fave! I left the bottle upside down for a few minutes and didn't have to fish for ANY glitter! 

Here's "Monster Mash"

    Natural light. 

This is soo fun!! The purple and grey glitters are awesome! This is one generous coat over Wet n Wild Wild Shine "Teal Slowly And See" and a coat of Seche Vite. Such a fun and funky combo!

China Glaze Monster's Ball

Hey everyone! It's almost Halloween...who's excited?! I am! My daughter is going as a furby this year lol. Anyway, today I have the Monsters Ball Collection from China Glaze. This is the 2013 Halloween collection. I waited so long for this and I'm glad I'm finally able to swatch it for y'all! I am missing one however and that is the black texture, Bump in The Night. 

First up is "Howl You Doin'"

    Natural lighting. 

This was so hard to capture. It is a purple jelly with purple and orange flakies. It's a stunner. This was 2 coats. 

Here's "Fang-tastic"

    Natural lighting. 

"Fang-tastic" is a glitter topper in a clear base and has small pink,green,and blue hex and circle glitters. This is over OPI Black Onyx. 

This is "Boo-gie Down"

    Natural lighting. 

This is another glitter topper in a clear base and contains various sized white, gold,black, bar, hex and circle glitters. This is over Rimmel "Grey Matter". 

This one is "Bat My Eyes". 

    Artificial light. 

This is a black jelly loaded with different sized gold glitters! My favourite part about this polish is that there's orange bars in here too! You can see them easier in the bottle. 

Last up is "Ghoulish Glow" 

Pretty disappointing huh? I applied 2 coats, charged them under a light and this was the result. So ya, thumbs down. 

That's all! Hope you all have a good Halloween! Be safe out there!
