Illamasqua - Paranormal Nail Varnish Collection

Hello my dear readers,

Today I'd like to share with you this gorgeous Illamasqua Paranormal collection, which consists of 3 beautiful UV Glow nail polishes and a UV Glow top coat (not pictured in this post). 

Let's start with Omen, a bright green polish with a gorgeous shimmer. 

2 coats, no top coat

And here's Omen under UV light. WOW! Look at that glow! 

Next is Ouija, a bright pink with lots of shimmer as well! 

2 coats, no top coat

Ouija under UV light: STUNNING!!! 

Last but not least: Seance, a beautiful bright violet with the same shimmer finish as Omen and Ouija.

2 coats, no top coat

Seance under UV light: the glow is less intense when compared with the other 2, but still awesome! It may look similar to Ouija under the UV light, but they're definitely not the same. 

This collection is simply breathtaking and it's perfect for the night out or even halloween. Application was perfect! All 3 are very pigmented and apply effortlessly. They're definitely a must-have!

Dollish Polish - "Nightmare Before Christmas" Halloween 2012 Collection [PICTURE HEAVY]

Hello my lovely readers!

Today I have some Dollish Polish Halloween polishes to show you! This is the "Nightmare Before Christmas" collection that was released last year. Since last year I was pretty busy and was hardly home, I had no time to swatch this collection back then. So I've bee waiting a whole year for this! So here we go!

First up is This is Halloween. It's a mix of orange, gold, green and black glitters in a clear base. Really perfect for halloween and fall too! The swatch below shows 2 coats of This is Halloween over Orly Black Vinyl.

I'm the Boogieman is a mix of green glitters in a shimmery green base. You could either use it on its own or layer it over another polish. The swatch below shows 2 coats of I'm the Boogieman over Kiko #268, which is a perfect match for I'm the Boogieman's green base. 

What's This? What's This? is an awesome combo of purple, green, orange, white and black glitters in a clear base. This one is very "halloweenie"! I applied 1 coat of What's This? What's This? over Kiko #356.

We're Simply Meant to Be is a mix of blue, gold, lavender, plum and black glitters in a clear base. It's such a unique mix and perfect for layering. The swatch below shows 2 coats of We're Simply Meant to Be over Essie Lapis of Luxury.

Deadly Nightshade is a mix of purple, teal and black glitters in a clear base. This one actually got me confused. All the swatches I've seen on other blogs shows a purple shimmery base, but mine was obviously clear. So I chose to layer it over a purple base polish, and the one I chose was Kiko #301.

Vampire's Coven is a mix of red and plum glitters in a sheer black base. You can apply it on its own, but I chose to apply it over Essie Carry On, which is a deep burgundy purple shade. 

Something's Up With Jack is such a fun polish! It is a mix of purple with black and white squares, bars and hexes. I applied one coat of Something's Up With Jack over OPI A Roll in the Hague.

Spectral Pup is a fine mix of orange hexes and white hexes and squares in a shimmery/iridescent base that glows in the dark! For the swatch below I applied 1 coat of Spectral Pup over OPI My Vampire is Buff. If you want the shimmery base to stand out, then a dark base would be ideal.

Here's a shot of Spectral Pup under UV light. You can see the Glow in the Dark particles in the base lighting up. 

I hope you like these beautiful and fun glitter polishes! Thanks for reading!

Lush Lacquer Neons [Picture Heavy!!!]

Hi everyone,

Since last Saturday was officially the last day of summer, I'd like to start Fall by saying good-bye to Summer with these super gorgeous neon glitter polishes by Lush Lacquer.

Starting with Freckles, which is a mix of neon small hexes in the colors: pink, green, purple, orange, yellow and blue. The base is clear, so you can wear it over any color! For the swatch below I applied 1 coat of Freckles over China Glaze White Out.

And here's a macro bottle shot of Freckles:

And you know what is even more awesome?! The glitters glow under UV light!!!! 

Here's a bottle shot under UV light. Awesome, isn't it?

This next beauty is Clowning Around. I think it's the most popular Lush Lacquer neon shade. It's a sister polish to Freckles. It has the same colors of neon glitters, but in larger sizes. In the swatch below I'm wearing 1 coat of Clowning Around over China Glaze White Out.

Here's a macro bottle shot of Clowning Around:

And this one, like all neon colors, glows under UV light too!!!!

And another stunning bottle shot under UV light:

And last but not least, Haywire:

Haywire has the same mix of neon glitters as Clowning Around plus a bunch of neon bars as well! The base is white, and it'll take you at least 2 coats to get full opacity. In the swatch above I only applied 2 coats.

Here's a macro bottle shot:

This too glows under UV light!

And finally a bottle shot under UV light:

For the gradient I had on my ring finger, I used 3 of the China Glaze's Poolside collection neon shades: Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Pool Party and Towel Boy Toy.

I hope you like them as much as I do!

Thanks for reading!!! 

Lush Lacquer - Neon Madness

Hello my lovelies,

I was in Dallas, TX this past week, so I couldn't post any new manis. But here's the mani I was wearing during my trip.

Neon Madness is the first Lush Lacquer I'm trying from the bunch of Lush Lacquers I bought at their etsy store and I must say they all look awesome in the bottle! Judging by the looks of Neon Madness on my nails, I'm pretty sure the other ones will look awesome too!

These polishes are perfect for the summer! They are so bright and they glow under UV light!!!! :-D

This is one coat of Neon Madness over OPI Alpine Snow and on my accent nail I used Polish Me To Go neon shades in Sunny Days, Lucky Me, Pretty Girls and Orange you Glad?. I applied these shades with a makeup sponge.

The bottle is packed with neon hexes in green, pink, orange and yellow suspended in a clear base. These hexes are kind of transparent and very thin and have a smooth finish.

I hope you like it and I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
