Emily de Molly High Distinction


Emily de Molly High Distinction 2 coats and top coat.
This is a beautiful gold polish with a scattered holographic look.
It was easy to apply and wore well for a holo polish.
I purchased it on Llarowe.com
I have swapped it for another holographic polish. 
I did like it, just didn't love it compared to my 
coveted Dance Legend New Messiah 
(the holy grail of gold holos in my opinion)
So, I figured it wouldn't get much wear time with that big hitter in my stash.
It is lovely though and I may kick myself later for swapping it.
Oh well! 
Thanks for stopping by!

Colors by Llarowe Seahawks Lime


Colors by Llarowe Seahawks Lime 2 coats
Hey there! 
Spring has sprung and here is a polish that is perfect
for the wonderful warm weather and sunshine.
The formula was easy to apply and stayed for a couple of days before I have minor tip wear.
The color is like the name, a lime green.
It is named after the football team and champs, Seattle Seahawks.
I lived there as well as Denver, but, I was hoping the Seahawks would win.
And, unless you were under a rock, you know they did indeed win.
I hope you are doing well. 
I am great! No complaints.
Thanks for stopping by!

Zoya Meg with Kawaii Slytherin


Hey there, this is one of my St. Patrick's day manicures I wore.
 I put 2 coats of Zoya Meg.
After that was dry I dabbed on Kawaii Nail Lacquer Slytherin
 and topped with 2 coats of top coat.
Zoya Meg is a lime green metallic polish.
 The wear time was ok, not great. 
But, most metallic polishes seem to chip quickly on me anyway.
 I love this manicure and received lots of compliments. 
It was easy and fast, so that was my favorite part, lol. 
Thanks for stopping by!

Zoya Meg was a gift, but I am sure you can find it on their website.
Kawaii Slytherin was an etsy purchase from 2 years ago.
Great brand by the way.

Colors by Llarowe Gizzards & Lizzards

Colors by Llarowe Gizzards & Lizzards 2 coats no top coat.
*Whistles* Now this is a beauty. 
This is exactly what I hoped for when 
I ordered Glitter Gal Lizard Belly back a couple years ago. 
The color is a dark green on the blue side,
 but not as dark as GG Lizard Belly. 
The holographic payoff is obvious in the pictures. 
This is not the original formula, 
but I can't imagine it being better than the one I have. 
The formula is great and stay time good. 
The weather is warm here in Atlanta and I am not ready for it. 
I still had more winter clothes I hadn't worn. 
I bet I am the only person who wanted the cold to stay a bit longer, lol. 
I like it in the 40s-50s.
 Oh well, I will embrace the warmer temperatures. 
My birthday is coming up! Yay! hehe. 
Anyways, thanks for stopping by and I hope you are doing well :)

Too Fancy Lacquer Moody Blue


Too Fancy Lacquer Moody Blue 1 coat
Hello there! 
Here is a wonderful indie polish I ordered from Asia.
This is only 1 coat of polish and no top coat. 
It last a few days before I had bad chipping.
The holographic payoff is good, not in your face, but still considered linear.
I think the name is perfect for this color.
The color is a grayish blue and can be compared 
to Colors by Llarowe Piece of Me.
However, CBL Piece of Me is more on the gray side and requires 2 coats.
I put a picture of the two side by side on the bottom of this post.

Below is with flash.
Below is a quick comparison between the two polishes.
 Left is CBL Piece of Me and Right is Too Fancy's Moody Blue.
 They are not duplicates, but close enough where I don't think you need both, unless this type of color is your favorite.
It is hard to see in the photo the difference,
 but trust me its noticeable in person.
Thanks for stopping by!

Colors by Llarowe Sparkles are a Girls Best Friend

Hey there!
 I forgot to post my Valentine's Day manicure. 
I took this picture before clean up, so please excuse the messiness.
Anywho, as stated, the beautiful holographic polish
 is Colors by Llarowe Sparkles are a Girls Best Friend.
SAGBF is a saturated hot pink color an. 
The formula is spot on and stay time is good.
I used Essie Blanc for the 3 center fingers 
and added stickers and decals that 
had hot pink accents after that was good and dry.
I added 2-3 coats of top coat to make the stickers and decals smooth.
I loved wearing this!
Thanks for stopping by!

Emily de Molly Seeing Red

Emily de Molly Seeing Red- 2 coats and top coat.
I saw this polish on Pinterest and 
thought it might be the most beautiful red ever.
It is pretty, however weak in the holographic department.
So, I am not loving it mostly because of that.
 However, it is still a beauty indoors and outdoors.
There is a pink hue in this red polish like many other "Red Holos."
It is on my swap list now.
 I also purchased High Distinction and 
wasn't as wowed as I thought I would be. 
However, I liked it more than this polish overall.
The wear time was good and the application was a breeze. 
It is just my personal preference that has be not loving it. 
Thanks for stopping by!
