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.

Lac Attack Magical Musings Collection, part 1

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and those that had yesterday off enjoyed it as well. I spent the day at the Harry Potter Studio tour, so it was a pretty amazing day for me! I loved it, and would gladly go back to see it all again. I had this big plan to start posting this collection one polish each day ending yesterday with what I wore, but I completely failed at that lol. So instead I will post it now, but a couple of my pictures came out super horribly so I will redo those and post a part 2 soon! I do have 7 of the 10 for you today. Lets get started.

Undies post!

Don't let the title scare you, todays post is a spam of some of the undies I have used under glitters that never got posted. Some of these colors I probably wouldn't wear very often by themselves, but they work great as undies.

First up I have a classic black, Sally Hansen Black Out. This was 2 coats, went on easily and was almost a 1 coater for me. Black isn't a color I can pull off alone, but I loved this under Floam when I wore it!

Nubar Blue Hydrangea is one I have used a couple of times as a base. I used it over Shimmer Jennifer and the yet unposted Naild It Dragon Scales. This is 2 coats, easy application.

Another Nubar I like as undies is Earthen. In fact, the whole Spring Flowers collection (or whatever it was called) are some of my go tos for undies. I don't really like the nude look, so I wouldn't wear this alone, but I love it for undies. This was 2 coats, but almost another 1 coater, and I've worn this over the posted Enkelini Cottage Garden.

China Glaze Gothic Lolita is a great purple. This shows 2 coats, and this I would wear on its own. I love purple. I used this one under Once Upon a Polish Ursula, which is still unposted.

Last for today I have OPI Pink Friday. I like pink, but I'm not too sure if this is one I would wear alone. Might have to wear it again to really decide. I've used this one over the (again) yet unposted Naild It Summer Lovin Melon, and I loved it. I did have to use 3 coats for it, it was still a little streaky after 2.

So there you go, some undes I have worn swatching indies, helping to clear out my unposted folder!
