Project Runway One Coat Holographic Polish

PROJECT RUNWAY
SUPERCHIC LACQUER
DYNOMITE SUPERHOLO SHADES

Hello everyone!!
Today I have swatches of the new SuperChic Lacquer "Project Runway" collection. This collection consist of 8 dynomite superholo shades. Releasing June 15th 2016. Mark your calendars! Polishes seem to fly off the shelves. Get yours with my 10% off discount code OPAL18.

A little bit about this collection. These polishes are fierce in color depth, exploding with bold maximum intensity liner holographic effects. All shades are fully opaque in just one coat combining the ultimate goodness of both holo pigment and micro-glitters. Warning: High Saturation colors. May cause staining especially on porous nails. Use a high quality stain blocker and color coat bonding base coat is recommended.

Superchic Lacquer Swatches

 Superchic Lacquer
"Dreamology"
 
Hello everyone!
I want to share with you these intense holographic nail polishes I was sent to share with you.
I own one collection of holographic polish and they are from Color Club. After seeing these
I think I will pass on buying the 2012 set. These polishes are heaven and all you need.
My information paper said they are one coat polishes. HMMM?. I was thinking I better swatch these to find out. I thought it was total BS. Well take a look for yourself. The paper did not lie.

 Here is the whole collection consisting of 6 intense Holographic polishes. 
These retail for S10.00 US. You can use my code OPAL18 and get 10 % off at check. Free shipping on orders over $50.00. 
You can purchase these polishes separately. I would recommend the base and top coat.

 Let's Talk Polish


***R.E.M. is an intense ebony black linear holographic. I only applied 1 coat and  Marvel Star Top Coat for these photos. The rainbow holographic is so pretty mixed with this black. 
I took these 3 photos out in the direct sun light.


***Realm Of Erotica is an intense racy red linear holographic. I used 1 coat and Marvel Star Top Coat for these photos. Very pretty color to wear for the summer.



***No Rest For The Wicked is an intense deep emerald green linear holographic. I used 1 coat and Marvel Star Top Coat for these photos. These 3 photos were taken out direct sunlight.
Not sure why but this green reminds me of Christmas.



***40 Winks is an intense deep violet purple linear holographic. I used 2 coats and Marvel Star Top Coat for these photos. These 3 photos were taken out direct sun light.

Today I have a swatch of Shinespark Polish in Pumpkin Spice. I had every intention of adding some art to it but I just couldn't it was so pretty all on its own.  I wore this for a few days and barely had a bit of tipwear.
 
Shinespark Polish - Pumpkin Spice
 
Normally I take all my photos under my desk lamp, but holos look so much better in natural sunlight. For the swatche I used 2 coat, then topped with Seche Vite.
 
While wearing this I felt like I had dipped my nails in a pumpkin pie, its just so spot on. I am so excited for fall, this polish is perfect I will for sure be doing some fall themed nail art using this one.
 

Blurred on purpose to show the oh so pretty holo

Below I have one picture under my desk lamp, as you see this one looks very pretty no matter the light.

This polish is part of their Falling Leaves collection, which can be found here, listed individually or as the whole set. The whole set is sold out, but I saw mention on their instagram about a restock soon. I of course had to have the whole set, so look forward to seeing more soon.

King of the Sea and My Heart!

Disclaimer: I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation.


A long time ago in a galaxy far away I found an awesome Disney themed topper from a new to me indie brand and was lucky enough to receive a mini of it from a friend! At the time King Triton from Blue Sparrow Trinkets only came in a mini and I love minis so I was totally cool with that. Until I saw the polish in person and it blew my tiny little brain. For months it sat untried as I was afraid to use up all this awesomeness. When I finally did break down and use it I kept it on for 4 days so you know it's true love.

Madam Glam nail polish

Madam Glam Nail Polish Review

I was excited when I was contacted by Madam Glam to choose four polishes for review.
I love neon polish, so I chose three bright colors. Since I been loving purples lately I decided to choose a polish that was not neon and a color I been loving.

Swatches

 Polish Information
 
Madam Glam polishes are all 5-free, Cruelty-Free & Vegan
What does this mean? 
Cruelty-Free means that we never test on animals!
Vegan means that the polish does not contain any animal ingredients. Never.
5-Free : All our nail polishes are made without five of the sketchiest ingredients linked to toxicity. That meants they're free of formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and toluene - plus formaldehyde resin and camphor, too. So safer and more healthy for your nails...and for YOU!!

The polish bottles are so cute. I do not have any bottle shapes like this. They are unique in my collection. I have seen a lot of people asking for polishes that are 5- Free. I am not to familiar with them because It does not matter to me. As long as I like the color and formula it works for me. If your one that wants a polish like this, these are for you. The formula is great. The consistency is nice, not to thick or thin. They do not have a strong smell.  

Polish Talk

Text Me Later: This color is so stunning to me. The formula of this polish glides on your nail so smooth. I used two coats. Depending on your coats two or three will make it opaque. Like I said I been loving purple polishes at the moment and this one is on the favorite list.

Mint Cocktail: I was surprised of how vibrant this color was in just two coats. This color does not need a white base. When apply a white base of polish it helps the neon color pop. In this case one is not need. I use two coats for this color to be opaque for me. The formula is also great and glides on smoothly.  

Like A Dream: The name for this color is perfect. The blue color is like a dream. I would not say it is a neon but its bright. I actually love this color after I applied and took a photo. Its just so dreamy. I used two coats and the formula is also smooth and easy to apply. 

Tiger Balm: This color is fantastic. Such a fun pop of color to add your nails or toes for summer. Neon polish is a must for summer. This color also does not need a white base. I used two coats and it was opaque for me. This color also glides on smoothly and is easy to work with. Although the swatch photo look more of and red/orange. My camera went crazy trying to capture this color. Neon polish can be a nightmare to capture. Trust me its neon and it bright enough for summer.

The Wine List Collection
By: TopShelfLacquer

 RELEASING JULY 15TH 2015


This collection was sent to me for review. I couldn't wait to swatch these.
After swatching these polishes I noticed that they are not your typical metallic polishes. I noticed that they were not streaky as much as some other ones I have tried. The colors are unique in their own way. The polishes above are the minis which are 5ml. The full size bottles are available as well.
This collection is a metallic set, which Red Zinfandel has more shimmer or micro glitter in it.

It's Mer-Magical!

Living in the Midwest there are few special effect polishes that I can take full advantage of, however thermal polishes are one. Between the 6 month long winters and extreme summer heat requiring air conditioning I can wear thermals year round. This particular squishy, glittery color changer is Polish Me Silly Mermaid Tears. I was inspired to add some nail art by the name and color since who doesn't love mermaids!

Little Miss Disappear

Disclosure:  I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation


If there's one thing I'm probably the biggest sucker for it's anything and everything Disney related! The Lady Varnishes has been releasing a monthly Disney villain since December 2014 and then last November she also began releasing a Disney/Pixar Girl monthly as well. These ladies have all been full coverage holographic micro glitters. April's Pixar Girl was Little Miss Disappear for Violet Parr in The Incredibles; it is indeed incredible!

A true violet, Little Miss Disappear is made up of various sized blue and purple micro glitters. Pictured is 2 coats over an almost invisible base color but can be fully opaque in 3 layers on its own. Not only is the holo stunning but this can appear more blue or purple leaning depending on lighting.

One for all, and all for one

Helloooo readers, we haven't officially met yet but I think we'll get to know each other soon enough. I will be doing a formal intro post in the future but for now: Hi I'm Netters!

Gotta love that feeling when you squash one of your biggest polish lemmings. Recently, thanks to her wonderful kindness, I was able to get my hands on the entire Musketeers collection from European indie maker Polish Alcoholic. I've loved pretty much anything to do with every variation of The Musketeers for as long as I remember. Most recent in my heart however has been the BBC series The Musketeers. I discovered this collection not long after the show aired on BBC America and immediately added it to my wishlist. However before I could purchase it Aramis sold out! Boo. I decided to contact the owner out of desperation and she was sweet enough to make more Aramis so I could purchase the whole collection and at sale prices to boot. I swooned harder for these babies than their respective actors on the show...and that's pretty hard.
