I can't sleep! And I haven't posted in forever! Here is my first post with my new blog name! I recently made an order from KBShimmer. I have had a KBShimmer gift card for $50 since Christmas! I can't believe it has taken me so long to order! I use way too many exclamation marks!!!
Anyways I noticed a lot of KBShimmers that I wanted are now discontinued and no longer available for purchase on their site and it made me go into panic mode and I bought a bunch of older polishes that I had been eyeing for a while. And I know I had been eye It's Razz-ical for a long while and it looks so me. This is a me polish for sure. It is a purpley pink jelly polish with holographic glitters. The color appears lighter in my picture in real life it is a tad deeper and more purpley (yes that is a description).
Isn't she gorgeous? I absolutely love this polish. It is going on my imaginary favorite list.

Polish Addict Nail Color
Hello all! I'm excited to be able to swatch a few polishes for Polish Addict Nail Color (PANC) today! Laura sent me four polishes that I get to show you all today. All the polishes from PANC that I have ever tried have always had an impeccable formula! The polishes today applied amazingly and I had very little cleanup to deal with. The only cleanup required was due to my fingers being to meaty and getting in the way of the polish brush. Ugh I hate my fat fingers. Lol!
First I have Chemical Romance. This is a glitter topper with so many different glitters. Every time I dipped the brush into the bottle I came up with new glitters that I didn't even see in the bottle, I'm pretty sure there are still mysterious glitters in there that will come out when I use this again! I swatched this as a jelly sandwich. I used 4 coats of Loreal's Berry Nice, a gorgeous deep purple jelly, and one coat of Chemical Romance to sandwich this glitter in. ;)

Bliss Polish Valentine Collection Part 2
There are two holographic polishes in Bliss Polish's Valentine Collection that I will feature in this post, Mint2Be and Wine & Dine.
I was so excited that Yvette actually made a polish that I suggested to her. I absolutely love Tiffany Who from her Premier Collection, a mint green matte polish with a beautiful gold shimmer, and I felt that it needed to be a holo! So I asked if she would ever make a Tiffany Who holo and guess what? Mint2be was born! Woot woot! Below is 2 coats of Mint2Be. The formula was a little thicker than the rest of the collection that I received, but was still easy to apply.

Bliss Polish Valentine Collection Part 1
I'm so excited because I get to swatch another gorgeous collection by the awesome Yvette of Bliss Polish! She sent me a few polishes from her Valentine Collection that I will break into two posts because Blogger gets made at me when I put too many pictures in a post. :)
When I got the bottles in the mail I literally swooned, this is a gorgeous collection. First up is Kismet.
A beautiful deep lilac with microflakies! The microflakies give this polish a beautiful glow. The formula was great, I hardly had any cleanup. I used 3-4 thin coats for the photos below.

Bliss Polish Lyla
I have a new polish to show you from Bliss Polish's Son's of Anarchy collection. Okay so I do not know anything about Son's of Anarchy, but I do know that this collection is exciting as hell! Now Lyla must be a sexy lady, because this polish is just so sexy. It is a berry jelly polish with some shimmer and GOLD FLAKIES!! Yummy, I love me some flakies. I used three coats for the pics below!
Polishes were sent to me for review.

So I took many photos of Lyla because she is camera shy. She didn't want everyone to see her sexy beauty without being a tease. Keep in mind I'm talking about the polish. :) So to try to get the flakies to show in their glory I tried different lighting, angles and mattified it! Hope you enjoyed!
The Son's of Anarchy Collection will be available for purchase tomorrow! Please follow Bliss Polish on Instagram for swatches of the complete collection! They are ahhhmazing! Shop link!

Pipe Dream Polish: The Night's Magic
More Pipe Dream Polish! Woo hoo! This one is another beauty and it's called The Night's Magic Glitter. It is one glitter packed polish. This is a sheer black jellie based polish with tons and tons of micro holographic flecks and blue and purple sparkly glitters!
I used 3 thickish coats. The formula was thick, so the only way I could get even coats was to glob it on there but it was easy to manage!
I mattified this because I just love to matte all the glitters. Sometimes it is a huge hit for me. This time I preferred this manicure with a glossy top coat. The holo bits seemed to have dulled with the matte top coat. Still beautiful, but glossy is the way to go with this polish!
You can purchase her polishes on Etsy. And follow Pipe Dream Polish on Facebook and Instagram! If you like jellie based glitter bombs you will want to buy all her polishes immediately!

Good Evening! It's actually evening and not 2am! Woo hoo! Today I have an awesome indie brand I wanted to share. Pipe Dream Polish! I have been drooling over her polishes for some time. I have no idea what took me so long to make a purchase because I literally want everything she makes.
Time in a Tapestry is described as a "gold, copper, and brown glitter with gold flakies in a deep teal green base." Perfect polish for Fall!

Bliss Polish: Behind Closed Doors Collection
I can't believe Yvette is already launching a new collection!! She is really pumping them out and I love it! I'm lucky and proud to be one of her Bliss Babes who gets to swatch her amazing polishes! Her new collection is called Behind Closed Doors and has some fun names to go with the collection. :)
Let's get to it! I have a lot of pics. This collection all has a suede finish. It seems that once I put top coat on the polishes my camera freaked out and photographed them all a little brighter, some more than other. I added a note on those photos that aren't color accurate.
First up is Spank! Oooh sounds naughty already. This is a really nice nude color with gold and holographic shimmer. I love a good nude, and this one is gorgeous!

| Bite with suede finish. |

Next we have Tease. Tease is described as a hunter green with micro holographic glitters.

Next we have Please. My favorite of the collection! I squee when I see the swatches. This is a shimmery deep plum with micro holographic glitters. I love this because you can see a mix of purple and blue shimmer in the polish as you wear it!
| Please with suede finish. |
| Please with glossy top coat. See the blue and purple sparkles? Yummy! |

Live Life Polished: Party Girl Rock
Good Morning! Today I have a very fun and lovely polish on. It is a brand called Live Life Polished. Tammy, the owner, was a little late shipping one of my orders and slipped in a couple minis as a sweet apology. One of the minis I got was Party Girl Rock. This is a sheer neon purple looking jelly based polish with silver and fuchsia glitters. Jelly sandwich in a bottle! Yum! I was drawn to the color of the base of this polish. It is so gorgeous! Bright yet very girly! I don't see this polish in her shop. So I have no clue if this is discontinued or never released but it deserved a post. And lucky you! Since I'm obsessed with my new macro lens. You get a macro shot! Woot woot!
| On my iPad this looks different. On my phone and computer this looks color accurate! |

Ninja Polish: Glamorous
Today I have Ninja Polish Glamorous from their Spectrum Collection. This is supposed to be a dupe of OPI DS Glamour. I have no clue what that OPI is, but if this is a dupe then OPI Glamour is gorgeous!!! I had purchased this beauty a while ago and it had been sitting in it's shipping package for over a month. Sadness!
After I put on this polish I walked to get my acetone to clean it up and the sunlight hit it just right and it just stopped me dead in my tracks. So freaking gorgeous! I had to stare for a minute. The color, the sparkle, the holoness (not a word). Just beautiful!

Bliss Polish: Breaking Bad Collection
I was asked by a very new indie polish company, Bliss Polish, to swatch her new upcoming collection! I was so excited that she asked me that I said yes! She is also a good friend of mine that I met on Instagram. I was so nervous because I never swatched anything for anyone before. But this collection is just amazing y'all!
Here is the Breaking Bad Collection!
First up is Cooking! Cooking is mustard yellow polish with gold shimmer and holo bits. This polish was a little thick so I added some thinner and it applied beautifully! I used 2-3 coats. After all this time I'm still very inconsistent with how I apply my polishes that is why I cannot give a definite answer on how many coats I used. lol. I'd say this would be 3 thin coats or 2 medium coats. Anyways. I'm always getting off subject. I love this yellow! I don't have many yellows in my collection because I don't really like them, but this one was pretty flattering on me.
Next is Chemistry. This photographed way brighter than it looks in real life. In real life the color is more muted. This green has the same gold shimmer and holo bits as Cooking! This was also a little thick, but some thinner made it perfect! I really loved the shimmer in this green. It is very subtle, but makes this a little extra special. This is also 2-3 coats.
Next is Mr. White. This is a very pretty white jelly/crelly polish with white glitters, silver holo glitters, and holo glitter bits. This looked great at 2 coats, but you could definitely see visible nail line, but I really loved it. For swatching purposed I tried to get it opaque and used 3 coats. You still see visible nail line on some nails, but I wanted to show the squishiness. I looooooove jellies and all their squishy glory!
Next is Crystal Blue Persuasion. This polish is a baby blue crelly with blue glitters, silver holo glitters and holo glitter bits. This polish was super packed with glitter! Glitter was sticking to my brush like their life depended on it. This was opaque in 3 coats.
Last in the collection is Jesse Pinkman. This is a light pink crelly with pink glitters, silver holo glitters and holo glitter bits. This was my favorite one in the bunch. This looked great at 1 coat, 2 coats and 3 coats. This looked so delicate and girly. I just loved it so much! Here I swatched it with 3 coats. In this case the color photographed lighter than the color in real life.
Did I say that was the last. I lied. There is a bonus polish!!! However this polish is only available if you buy the complete set. This is Bad Bliss. This is black jelly polish with various silver holo glitters. This one is gorgeous and looks like galaxy nails in a botte! I used three coats.

Painted Sabotage: Gargle Blaster
I must be on a crazy roll. Three days in a row? Whaaaat? Anyways today is my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! I wanted a special mani for my birthday. I did not want to attempt any crazy nail art because I'm not really good at that and I don't want to stress out with a million failed attempts on my birthday. Come on now!
For my day I chose the indie brand Painted Sabotage and their ever so popular Gargle Blaster!!! One day on Instagram Painted Sabotage had a really quick giveaway to IG users who answered a question she had. I think she picked almost everyone that answered her question and that included me! She graciously offered to send a bottle of one of her polishes to everyone who won. Of course silly me I went on her Etsy site and wanted more than one so I got three including Gargle Blaster, which was drool worthy for me! I don't know why I waited so long to try this. I kept picking it up and putting it back down. I was waiting for my nails to get longer. But I kepy cutting them to nubs! So finally I am putting this gorgeous polish on my nubs! I think it still looks pretty good on my nubs!
The formula was awesome. This is another indie polish where the base is so thick that the glitters stay suspended. No additional shaking required. And no fishing at all! My brush was packed with all the glitters! Even though the polish was thick it was not hard to work with. I used 2-3 coats in the photos below. Straight from her Etsy shop is the description, "A mint green shade with a slight shimmer, accented with fuchsia, silver and gunmetal glitters!" This polish is to die for. Everyone needs this in their life!
