Different Dimension: Lett's Not Mintion It

I got to see my friend Connie Davis last weekend!! And guess what she brought me?!

This beauty!



It's a Collab with @lettslooks_ and is described as a light mint crème with pink shimmer.



It was opaque in 2 self leveling coats! Loved the formula and I've enjoyed wearing it this week. It's such a nice calming shade.



You can get your bottle at Different Dimension, it's available!

Girly Bits Watermarble: Stamped!

After I wore my Girly Bits watermarble for several days, I stamped over it!
I used a Christmas plate set of 3 that I got last year from Aliexpress. It doesn't really have a brand name, just MR 01, 02 and 03. They all have super cute images on them for the season.



To stamp I used Jolie One Helluva Holo - it is super sparkly and opaque, stamps perfectly every time.

Hope you enjoyed the review, and don't forget to comment and follow me on your favorite social media!

KBShimmer Holo-day Collection 2017

Press Sample

Tis’ the season to sparkle and KBShimmer has you covered! This winter, enjoy eight all new shades, each with holographic sparkle. As you put up the shining lights, wrap up gifts in jewel toned paper, or pour a glass of seasonal cheer, these bright and festive colors will bring home the feel of the holidays. The winter collection features KBShimmer’s new five free polish base and retail for $9.25 each.



Up To Snow Good – Holographic glow flakes, subtle blue shimmer, and a dash of micro holo glitters shine like untouched snowbanks, accenting the pale gray color of this snow inspired polish.






Deck The Claws – This red polish in our Mega Flame finish is full of sparkle and cheer. Holographic glitters catch the holiday lights and shine while accenting this perfectly festive red shade.





Fir Sure – This green linear holographic polish is reminiscent of hunting down that perfect pine among rows of fir and spruce trees.



Jewels Of The Trade – This mega flame finish is vibrant blue in color, almost a cross between sapphires and lapis lazuli gemstones.





Why So Sirius?– Like a nebula in the sky, this spacy polish is bursting with a shimmer that shifts from a jewel toned purple to vibrant teal, while holo glow flakes twinkle against the deep navy base.





Come On Get App-y –This blue leaning purple has strong linear holo that shines brighter than your phones screen.
With two coat coverage this polish won’t interrupt your texting.





Pour Decisions – Pour Decisions is loaded with holo glow flakes for a deep burgundy colored polish. Shifting sparks
shine red and copper, showing off the chocolate undertones.





You’re Brew-tiful – Reminiscent of a frothy latte, this lightened brown polish is the ideal shade for those that want bling
without the bold. Whether you take your coffee with cream or without, this brew-tiful shade is a must have!





Also coming back for a limited time, a holiday favorite, Holly Back Girl! I don't have this polish, but it is a cute white crelly with red and green glitters and will be listed in the shop at launch.

For each of the above polishes, I wore two coats for opacity. Then I topped them each with Clearly On Top topcoat, the best quick dry top coat on the market today indie or otherwise! Yes, that is a strong statement and I absolutely believe it is true. Blogging for eight years, I've tried dozens and dozens of top coats and this is the holy grail of top coats. If you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for?!

KBShimmer’s Holo-day Collection will be available online Friday December 1st, 2017 at KBShimmer.com, Amazon.com and select salons & retailers.

Girly Bits: Water Marble

Press Sample

Tonight I decided to create a water marble design inspired by Sveta's Bracelet and water marble design of it.
The Girly Bits Fall Part 1 polishes are perfect for it!

First, I prepped my nails with a coat of Funky Fingers Gesso, which is a white cream. It's quick to dry and only took one coat.



I used Walnuts About You, Stump Up the Jam and Sea You Next Fall from Girly Bits and Presence from Pretty Serious to create my bullseye.
I used a condiment cup which I realize now was a bit too shallow. I prefer a little more depth to make sure I don't damage the design while clearing the water's surface.



I used a total of 8-10 drops of polish per bullseye. When the teal and white were next to each other they blended which made a really pretty bright aqua.
I've been wanting to recreate this design for almost three years, and am very pleased with the result; however, I still love the original design most.



Happy Thanksgiving!
What design are you wearing for the holiday?

Great Lakes Lacquer: Small Batch polishes and Gift With Purchase

Press Sample

Great Lakes Lacquer is doing a ginormous launch at 10pm Central on Thanksgiving day. She will have a new holiday collection, small batches, a special inspired limited polish and a gift with purchase. Since small batches are limited, Mariah split those and other polishes between several bloggers, so below are the ones I have to share. Be sure to browse around other blogs to see what else is in store!



Small Batch Limited Edition Polishes
These will go up at 10pm Central on Thanksgiving and are available until stock runs out.

Festival B - This was at Chicago PC and is the left over Festival of Fantasies with more (and different flake). Some sinkage of other flake. Shake well before use.
Shown is two coats with topcoat. Formula was jelly like and easy to apply.





Oops! There Goes The Rain - This batch of It Can't Rain All The Time was definitely an ooopsie. Like Rain, only with a stronger purple shimmer and warm color of pink instead of gray.
Shown is three coats with topcoat. Thermals are so much fun to play with! This one flips between a denim blue and a soft pinky/lilac shade.







Words Never Listen - fern green gently glowing with shifting shimmer that goes through red, purple, pink, orange.
Although this was a one coater, I used two for photos. Formula is smooth and creamy to apply.






Gift With Purchase
This will be for orders of $50 or more until Cyber Monday at 10pm Central and will not be made available for purchase.

Happy Holidays - A magenta burgundy jelly filled with royal blue to purple shimmer, violet to blue multichrome flake, and red to orange to green iridescent flake.
Shown is two coats with topcoat. Formula was jelly like and easy to apply.





Special Polish
Made specifically with Kenji of manisbykenji on IG, this first started as a bit of joke since her love of crellies is lacking. In fact, she once said they all belong at the bottom of the ocean. She swatched some Great Lakes Lacquers crellies and was surprised to find crellies she liked. This will be available from Black Friday until January 2nd. 20% will benefit The Trevor Project.

Hope Always Floats - sea green with two kinds of multichrome flake and shimmer that shifts from blue to purple and bronze.
Shown is two coats with topcoat. Formula was creamy and easy to apply.
