I was on vacation when I got the email that I was being selected to swatch and review Oh So Naughty nails. I was super excited and read the names to the Old Man and his sister (Who owns The Joly Life) and they got a kick out of them. I received several from their upcoming  collection to try out. I was super excited to see some jellies in the collection! I hate the heat but I love the neons and jellies that come out!

I received 6 colors and the base and top coat. The colors you ask?

I received the following products in exchange for review. All thoughts are my own.

I got on the holo band wagon a little late and I am in love! I love these 2 pink holos and they make a great addition to my collection.
The one on the left is Your Royal Pinkness and the right is Voyage to Mercury.

I fell in love with Your Royal Pinkness when I saw Polish me Manly's swatch on Instagram. So when I got the chance to review it I was so excited! I have a few reviews that I'll be posting from Dainty Digits Polish and I'm rounding them into colors so Off we go with the glorious pinks.

Doctor Lacquer Don't Drink the Pink-aid swatch and review.


I received the following product in exchange for review all thoughts are my own.

Don't drink the pink aid was part of the halloween collection. Its my first thermal and I was excited to play with it. I swatched this on its own and loved the effect. The one thing I have found is the skull and cross bone glitter require fishing but I have seen that with all polishes that I have see them in.

 I didn't have any issues with application when using thin coats. I love the texture of this and it is a jelly.

The lighter swatches were from when I was warmer and the darker is from when I was cold.

Born Pretty Holographic #Nailpolish Hologram Effect 10# (Blue)

I received the following product in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own.

I love Holographic Nail polish! I really do and this is not an exception!
Each bottles contains 6ml but every drop is a beauty. I used 2 coats of this with no base color and I was not wanting to remove it but I had to swatch on!  I finally have this nice vibrant blue holo to put into my collection and I may just wear it during the holidays I am not sure but I can't wait to show you these swatches!

Spanked by Super Black Lacquers Swatch and Review.


I received the following product in exchange for review. All thoughts are my own.

Spanked is tied with Heather for my favorite out of this collection.

I used 2 coats with no Topcoat over a clear basecoat for each of these pictures. The pictures were taken with both my Camera and my iPhone. When I first applied this I immediately thought the color was a fuschia and cranberry. I can't wait to wow you with this color!

Here is some info from SBL website:
Spanked is a wine-colored linear holographic polish. Shimmering cranberry red in low light, with a prismatic holo effect in sunlight or full-spectrum indoor light. Opaque in 2-3 coats with a semi-matte finish. Skip the top coat with our holographic polishes to get the most prismatic effect...don't worry, the polish is long lasting and chip resistant without it!

Check out all the swatches after the break!

Purple Dreams and Fairy Magic by Nail Honey


I received the following product in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own.

Bee sent me a polish she made for me as a custom. It was left unnamed and I had to ask my blogger friends to help me name it. I took a combination of names they suggested and came up with Purple Dreams and Fairy Magic.

This is a purple base with large black and silver hexes, silver bar glitter. Medium hexes in silver and blue. It also contains tiny purple,blue and red hexes and silver micro glitter. Check out my swatches!

Guilty by Super Black Lacquers Swatch and Review.

I received the following product in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own.

Guilty from Super Black Lacquers is a yellow toned gold. I don't have a lot of gold colors in my polish collection because gold has never been a color I have enjoyed... until now. A gold holo is just what I needed.

Here is more about Guilty from SBL website:
Our gold holographic polish. In the shade, it is a subtle metallic gold, but when you're in the sun or full-spectrum indoor lighting, the polish explodes in a gold holographic rainbow. Opaque in 2-3 coats, with a semi-matte finish. We recommend that you skip the top coat with our holographic polishes to maximize the effect!

Guilty is $12.00

My co-workers didn't understand what I was so excited about when I first brought the polishes in. They like to paint their nails but they aren't polish addicts and didn't know what a Holographic polish was. My co-worker named Jess used Guilty and at first she wasn't much impressed because she doesn't like gold much either.

 These are her nails after she painted them with Guilty. She was in a hurry so I snapped these before she took off from work that morning.  When she came back in that night she told me about how she walked outside and her nails just BAM exploded into rainbows! Needless to say she is in love now! If you want to see Guilty in action click read more to see the many many pictures I have waiting for you after the break.

Heather by Super Black Lacquers Swatch and Review.


I received the following product in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own.
I was sent 3 colors from Super Black Lacquers all holo and all take my breath away. Heather is the purple one and I can't decide if I like Heather or Spanked better because they both leave me drooling.
***Super Black Lacquers will be referred to as SBL from here on in this review.***


I used 1 coat and was amazed by the results but added another coat just to be sure. The dry time was a dream almost no waiting at all! There was no sun while I was reviewing the SBL I received so all 3 are shown in flash to show you the beautiful color and holo these have. I applied Heather to my right hand at first and I am right handed so I wasn't happy with the paint job and I haven't quite tamed the hang nails on my right. However I do love how well the pictures show the holo so please ignore the poor state of my right hand and enjoy the beauty that is Heather. I promise my swatch hand (left) looks much better and I did Heather on there as well.

Be prepared I have a ton (not literally a ton!) of pictures for you.
These were taken with both my point and shoot and my iPhone 5S.

Coffee Break from Nail Honey Swatch and Review.


I received the following product in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own.


Coffee break is one of the neutrals being made by Nail Honey this fall and it reminds me of a cappuccino. This is a nice brown with gold shimmer.
Here is a macro of Coffee break so you can see that gold very well here.

I received the following product in exchange for honest review. All thoughts here are my own.

This is one of those polishes for you holo lovers out there! Dirty Dirty Dirty is holo top coat with color shifting flakes.
Don't let this image fool you! These two may look alike in the bottles once you apply it you see the difference. And a bag of chips review coming soon.

Sea Glass by Starrily swatch and review.

I received the following product in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. 

I have to admit it I fell in love with Sea Glass at first sight.
The color and shine is what drew me and the shards are what kept me captivated. I love a little chaos in my polish.
