Polished Lifting

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Pale blue leaning gray creme

Coverage: 2 coats

Price: $9

Notes: I adore gray, so it's no surprise that I love Tinsel & Tradition. You can never have too many grays as far as I'm concerned.

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Rich berry holo

Coverage:  2 coats

Price: $9

Notes: I'm making 😍😍😍 at Sparkling Wishes. That holo is a must for the holiday season!

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Bright white creme with blue and purple shimmer

Coverage: 3 coats

Price: $9

Notes: Dazzling Snow is so twinkly in low light settings. It reminds me of fresh snow just as the light hits it first thing in the morning.

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Rich brown with red shimmer

Coverage:  2 coats

Price: $9

Notes: If only the edible counterpart of Gingerbread Cookie looked this good!

The Bliss Polish Winter/Holiday 2017 Collection will release on Monday, December 4th at 10am. Each polish retails for $9, or you can purchase the full set for $42 (a three dollar discount). The Autumn Trio is still in stock as I write this, so I highly recommend picking both sets while you're there.

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Dusty pink/red creme

Coverage: 2 coats

Price: $4.99

Notes: I really expected this to be a one coat color, but I couldn't do anything less than two.

The reformulated Sally Hansen Insta Dri shades leave a lot to be desired in my opinion. The old versions were almost always one-coaters, they self leveled, and they were great for stamping. The two new shades I tried required multiple coats for full coverage despite their one coat claim. Petal Pusher wasn't self leveling at all, and isn't great for stamping. Expresso seems to stamp just fine. The polish isn't bad, but I do feel as though it's a step down from the great formula they previously had.

Scent: Smoky, woodsy blend of cedar, birch, leather and musk. This is a nod to the original Slatkin Fireside

Cold Sniff: Smoky cedar seems to be the top note with hints of everything else

Throw: 4 out of 5. I could smell this everywhere but one bedroom

Warmer used: AmbiEscents Snowman - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: .35 oz

Price: $2.50

Notes: This isn't a scent I would pick for myself based on the scent description, but I really enjoyed it. It's a nice change of pace compared to my usual bakery/food/fruit picks.

Bohemian Polish Krampusnacht polish + wax can be purchased through the Polish Pickup for a limited time in December. Both the polish and wax will be available from December 3rd through December 6th.

Scent: Star anise, fennel, and green herbal notes complimented by cinnamon & sugar, nutmeg, amber & woods

Cold sniff: Nice cold sniff. Not terribly strong but pleasant.

Throw: Good, 4 out of 5. I could smell this everywhere but the kitchen.
Warmer used: 15 watt nightlight warmer

Amount used: .25oz

Price: $2 for 1.5-1.9oz

Notes: Slow to throw (but the dish I used is small). Once it warmed up enough it could be smelled throughout the house. I have a feeling this could be a 5 out of 5 when used in a wide dish warmer. A miracle happened because my husband actually commented on the scent and said he liked it. I'm sad I only have a sample of this, but I plan to pick a shot (or maybe even a loaf!) at the next restock.

Welcome to Camp Nightmare

A Waffle Lot of Pumpkin Pecan

Scent: Buttery pecans, Belgian waffles, maple syrup & a hint of pumpkin

Cold sniff: Strong and sweet. Maple and buttery pecans seem to be the top notes

Throw: Ok, 3 out of 5. I used just under a quarter ounce in my warmer and could smell this in the kitchen, living room and part of the hallway.
Warmer used: Better Homes & Gardens Pumpkin - 25 watt light bulb

Amount used: .25oz

Price: $2 for 1.5-1.9oz

Notes: Initially I thought this scent was going to be too sweet for my preference, but it really grew on me.

Trick or Treat Yo'self

Scent: Gooey marshmallow & a hint of smokiness

Cold sniff: Rich marshmallow until I pulled it out of the shot. I didn't care for the smokiness on cold sniff.

Throw: 3.5 out of 5. I could smell this in a little over half of my house. I think it was too light to carry beyond that.
Warmer used:  Better Homes & Gardens Pumpkin - 25 watt light bulb

Amount used: .25oz

Price: $2.10 for 1.5-1.9oz

Notes: I am quite happy to report that the smokey scent is amazing when melted. It smells just like toasty marshmallows straight from the campfire.

Hocus Pocus, Coffee to Focus

Scent: Pumpkin spice latte, espresso, pumpkin pie spice & whipped cream

Cold sniff: Heavy on the espresso with hints of pumpkin spice

Throw: Good, 4 out of 5. I could smell this everywhere but the kitchen.
Warmer used: 20 watt wide dish hotplate

Amount used: .25oz

Price: $2.15 for 1.5-1.9oz

Notes: I didn't really notice a whipped cream note to this scent, but I found it pleasant regardless.

Jack the Pumpkin King

Scent: Pumpkin creme brulee, pumpkin puree, spice, maple, rum & caramelized sugar

Cold sniff: Heavy on the pumpkin spice and rum

Throw: 3.5 out of 5. I could smell this in a little over half of my house. It was super strong in the room I was melting in.
Warmer used: 20 watt wide dish hotplate

Amount used: .25oz

Price: $2.10 for 1.5-1.9oz

Notes: I really enjoyed this scent for about the first hour and then it became a bit too spicy for me. I ended up turning this on for a few hours at a time so that I could enjoy the scent without it becoming overwhelming. I think part of it had to do with how close I was to the warmer. The next time I melt this scent I'm going to place it in a larger room and see if I enjoy it more that way.

Rocky Horror

Scent: Fizzy, orange, lime & cherry berry

Cold sniff: Surprisingly effervescent and fruity.

Throw: Good, 4 out of 5. I could smell this everywhere but the back bedroom
Warmer used: Better Homes & Gardens Pumpkin - 25 watt light bulb 

Amount used: .25oz 

Price: $2.10 for 1.5-1.9oz

Notes: This is one of my favorites from Flower Finery so far. It's bright and gives the whole house a nice, fruity smell.

Halloween Makes Me Corny

Scent: Super rich, creamy vanilla

Cold sniff: Smells wonderfully rich like buttercream

Throw: 3 out of 5.
Warmer used: Better Homes & Gardens Pumpkin - 25 watt light bulb

Amount used: .25oz

Price: $2 for 1.5-1.9oz

Notes: This wasn't nearly as strong as I had hoped. It lightly scented my living room and hallway, but could not be smelled in the rest of the house. I enjoyed the scent, but I think the next time I melt it I will do so in a bedroom.

I really enjoyed everything I purchased from FlowerFinery. I'm three orders deep now, and I see no signs of stopping! If you'd like to pick up some of these scents be sure to check out the links below.
