Saturday Spam- Painted Polish by Lexi Swatches

Painted Polish is an amazing indie polish brand created by a lovely lady named Lexi.  She rocks at making this super pretty holo glitters in different color jelly bases.  Across the board, all of the polishes have flawless formulas, for being so glitter heavy all of them dry super smooth.

Painted Polish is having a restock tomorrow (11/30) at 5 PM Pacific Time! I don't know if all of these polishes will be available, but her stunning Holo-day collection will be. I know what I'll be doing at 5:00 tomorrow :)

Stay Sparkly,

Thanksgiving Nails

I decided to try a Thanksgiving color inspired water marble.  I love the look of water marbling, and I have to say my patience for trying them has grown :)

Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope you all had amazing days with your loved ones.

Orly Mirrorball

Orly Mirrorball is a silver linear holo speckled with larger holo glitter. This polish is part of the Holiday 2014 collection and it already has quite the cult following.  I am admittedly not the biggest linear holo fan, but this polish is AMAZING!!!

This polish should still be available at Sally's/Ulta, I highly recommend you add this to your collection. The addition of larger holo glitter particles really makes this a special polish.

Zoya Swatches

I've never really been inspired by Zoya, but they recently had a great sale so I decided to pick up some of their Pixie Dust polishes to give them a try.

All swatches are 2 coats with no base coat, top coat used is Color Club.

Sunshine

Arianna

Overall I really like Sunshine and Dahlia and would love to try more of the original pixie dusts… Noir and Arianna, they are pretty and all, but didn't dry down to a very matte finish and just didn't wow me.

What other Pixie Dusts should I try?

China Glaze Wait N Sea

China Glaze Wait N Sea is a stunning bright turquoise color, it is slightly brighter and more green than it appears in pictures.  I accented it with Sinful Colors nail tattoos and Painted Polish by Lexi Drunk on Holo.  This was so fun and lovely to wear, and inspired me to order a ton more nail tattoos and water decals.

China Glaze All Aboard- Fall 2014

China Glaze released a train inspired collection for Fall 2014.  Its a very interesting mix of neutrals and dusty colors.  I purchased two polishes from this collection, because China Glaze usually makes amazing cremes for their fall collections.  These two did not disappoint!!
