Lac Attack Spring Fling collection

Hello, hope everyone is having a great weekend! Its been fairly nice here and that is always good. Today I have for you 4 of the 6 Lac Attack Spring Fling collection. I was sent these for review, and was sent all 6 but unfortunately 2 of them were smashed on arrival. It looked as if it was dropped and either stepped on or got rolled over with something the bottles were so smashed up. So sad to see such pretty polish in that state :(. But I still have 4 pretties to show you!

I also have a disclaimer to add as well, these are not my real nails. I have ordered myself a set of Custom Nail Solution nails, and to do the impressions I had to cut and file my nails to a shorter length then usual, and then I had 2 on my swatch hand break :(. So my nails are in no shape to be seen, especially since these are review polishes, I bought a set of plastic press on nails to wear for the weekend to do these swatches. I'm loving the length of these, and since there is a 3 day weekend this weekend coming up, I just might do this again. My impressions have been sent back so now I am just waiting for them to be made and sent back to me, and then as soon as school is over on June 13th I can start wearing them!

Anyway, on to the swatches!

Saturday Morning Cartoons

Yikes! Its been almost a month since my last post! I have been so busy with work, my daughters school stuff, girl scouts, and helping my husband since he is recovering from back surgery that I guess time got away from me more than I though! To make up for it I am going to show you one of my favorite Whimsies that I haven't posted yet!

I have to apologize since I don't think it is available anymore :(. But here is Whimsical Ideas by Pam's Saturday Morning Cartoons:

This is 4 coats alone, since its a jelly base next time I would layer it to save on polish since there is still VNL after the 4 coats, but application was the usual flawless Pam quality! I didn't have any trouble getting the glitters out, and they gave even disbursement on the nail. I love this one, its so cheery and happy! The base is a great royal blue with red, green,silver and blue hex glitters with tiny blue glitters. If this one ever does become available again, make sure to get it, its beautiful!!

Aly's Dream Polish

I love holos. I think I might have mentioned that before. Its my favorite kind of polish. So when I first heard that there was a new store opening up that had holos in ALL THE COLORS! I was super excited! I knew I had to have some. The problem was choosing which ones! After much deliberation, I finally settled on these 6, and I couldn't be happier.

Franken Femme

Today I have for you a polish created by Becca at Franken Femme. Ever wanted to make your own polishes but didn't know where to start? Her blog is a great spot to go to see how to create your own polishes! Check it out, she makes some beautiful creations. Here is the polish she created for me for review.

This is an orange base with pink and yellow squares and hexes. The formula is great and application was easy. I used 3 coats with top coat (which caused a bit of shrinkage, sorry about that!) and it looked even better in person! The glitters seemed to want to fade to the background in every picture, but they were definitely more stand out in person. I love this combo of colors, I never would have thought that pink would go so well with orange and yellow!

If you want to see more, be sure to check out her blog! Franken Femme Oh, and be sure to check out Poseidon while you are there, its amazing!

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

One of my favorite shows as a kid, back when Nick was the best channel there was! I would watch with both my younger brother and my mom every Saturday during SNick, anyone else remember this? It was my favorite block of tv, even ahead of TGIF. ANd now that I have shown how old I am, lol, lets get on to the polish for today! I have a duo from The Spooky Bones Company based on the show. They are The Dream Girl and The Prom Queen.

The Dream Girl is a dark base with a color shift of pink and purple. I used 2 coats and it went on easy, no problems at all. The color shift was more apparent in person, it just wouldn't cooperate with getting a lot of it to show up on camera.

Base color

Some slight pink color shift

Over this I layered 1 coat of the companion polish, The Prom Queen. Its a sheer pink base with bar and holo glitters, and some red hearts, which I wasn't able to get on the nail when I did this, but have since used it on my daughter and the hearts came out fine. I must have just been having an off day or something.

I really love all of the AYAotD? collection, and will be showing the rest of them in the next few posts. I don't know why it is taking me so long to post these since if you remember my year end wrap up they were the first indies I bought! I do wish I had these all in full size, I was only able to get minis of most of what I have at the time.
