Polished Lifting

Here's part two of the Ella Ann Cosmetics exclusive: S.C. S.C. is a red holo. The formula was an ok consistency, but I encountered a few clumps. The clumps were small enough that I was able to swipe them off of the nail before taking photos. The swatches above show two coats with no base color. Hey Barabbas! Hey Barabbas is a light...

Today I have seven colors from Philly Loves Lacquer's Seeing Isn't Believing Collection. The collection is based on the Santa Clause movie and consists of sixteen colors. The seven colors I have to share with you are going to be exclusive to Ella Ann Cosmetics. 1-800-SPANK-ME 1-800-SPANK-ME is a berry colored holo. I was able to achieve full coverage with two coats.

I've never been one to purchase topical over-the-counter pain relief, so when I was contacted by Zim's to try out their Max-Freeze product, I was all ears. I just recently started lifting heavy again, and was experiencing lower back pain due to deadlifting. It was definitely DOMS and not an injury, so I decided to give Zim's Max-Freeze a try. To give you...

Whether you have a cheapo set of nail art brushes from China, or a nicer set purchased at a salon (also probably from China), it's important to take good care of your nail tools. I set up a super simple tutorial to keep your brushes in tip top shape. After using your nail art brushes clean them in acetone to remove any excess...

As most of you might know, I have a serious love affair with Zoya. It started as a flirtation as I broke away from many of my favorite mainstream brands. Now it's a full fledged affair with no end in sight. As soon as I started to see swatches of Yuna, I knew it had to be mine. I have been drooling over...

There are just a few thing in the polish world that I am a sucker for. White crellies with interesting glitter are one of those things. When I saw The Polish Bar- Shiny Pebbles in a friend's blog sale I knew I had to have it. I'm not usually a fan of orange glitter, but there was something earthy and retro about the...

Last week I got a package of polishes from Pretty & Polished. They were a mixture of two upcoming collections, and I was ecstatic to see which ones I would be swatching and reviewing. It was practically kismet that I received two flakies from The Opal Collection. Flame Queen Flame Queen is a green jelly packed with multi colored flakies. This color was...

You made it to Friday! I don't know about you guys, but this week has moved so slowly. Today I have a review of Revlon Moon Candy in Satellite. I've had really mixed feelings about all of the Moon Candy combos, and this one isn't any different. The flakie side of the duo is gorgeous. I found the formula to be a little...

I'm apparently on a flakie kick! I did these back when I had crazy long nails. It's hard to believe I ever kept them that long. This is a jelly sandwich of Zoya Katherine & Finger Paints Colorful Dream. I used three coats of Katherine and two coats of Colorful Dream. The formulas on both colors were nice. For some reason my Poshe...

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I'm back with a new indie called Crazy Sister Polish. She has a great variety of colors beyond what I have to share with you today. Peacock Princess Peacock Princess is a holographic thermal that shifts from blue to green. I've never seen this color combo in a thermal, but I absolutely love it! The...
