3 Oh! 7 Nail Lacquer Fall 2018 Collection Swatches and Review

Image
I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things but time is moving relentlessly forward! Today I have a collection to share with you that brings to mind one word above all - COZY . 3 Oh! 7 Nail Lacquer's Fall 2018 Collection  is a perfect mix of earthy shades that bring to mind nature and comfort, the cooling of the season but indoor warmth, and I just love it! Let's check them out! 3 Oh! 7 Nail Lacquer Hello Gourd-geous  is a mustard yellow. I wore it in three thin coats and it had a great, formula with medium-quick dry time. I love this color and have a shirt that matches it perfectly. It reminds me of warm, comforting squash soup. 3 Oh! 7 Nail Lacquer It's Fall Ya'll  is a burgundy-red shimmer with scattered holo and red-to-gold duochrome microflakes. It covers in tow or three thin coats and has a quick dry time. So rich and pretty! 3 Oh! 7 Nail Lacquer Pumpkin Spice  is a rich red-brown metallic shimmer with slight gold shift. It also has a surprise up its...

Voyage PolishPak, a New Indie Brand!

Image
I am lucky enough to co-admin a facebook group called Mainstream Nail Polish Aisle   with two lovely fellow polish lovers, one of whom is Sarah Smith. Sarah recently helped me locate some Color Club  holos I had been looking for and some things from Indie Shop Seattle  and told me she was sticking one of her own polishes in the box for me to try. I remembered opening the box and finding this incredibly beautiful, gorgeously packaged multichrome called Voyage PolishPak 17 Cape Town  and pm'ed her and said "IS THIS YOURS?" It sure was! Ladies, we have a new indie with serious talent here. Luckily, it is no longer going to be a secret, and Sarah is making her polish debut at Indie Shop San Antonio  this Saturday, October 13 . Let me share my experience with you and get you excited! *gift from the maker* PolishPak  started off with travel rolls for packing polish and other travel odds and ends on etsy, and you can still find those goodies in a variety of patterns on the site ...

Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Polish Pickup Villains October 2018 Swatches and Review

Image
Polish Pickup  is open right now with a  Villains  theme   and the pre-order runs through  11:59 PM EDT on Monday, October 8 . The  Polish Pickup  is a Facebook group and pop-up shop that offers monthly pre-orders of indie polish made to themes voted on by members of the group. Today I have my last polish to show you, a lovely, sparkly magnetic from Pretty Beautiful Unlimited! *sent by the maker for photography and review* Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Just One Bite  is a black with blue-to-magenta duochrome magnetic shimmer, holo microflakes, holo shimmer, and multichrome iridescents flakes. The magnetic shimmer tends to look bluer when magnetized and more purple when not, which is cool! I photographed it both ways. It does have a little bit of texture but a single layer of top coat smooths it. Fast dry time and good formula and I wore it in two thin coats. Inspiration:   the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Price: $10 or $12.50 with bar magnet Capped at 250 bottles sold ...
