Seven and Parker Review and Swatches

Hey Polish Lovers!

A lot has been going on since my last post.  I moved into a new home. Our satellite internet won't get service at our new house and I am waiting until the first of the year to get another provider.  I recently got a new phone and am able to do my blog posts on it (although time consuming and a little frustrating). I will do my best to keep you updated on what's going on in my polish world.  I have two reviews that I still need to post but the photos are in my laptop so I will have to figure out how to get them on my phone.  

Mitzy from Seven&Parker sent me minis of her Christmas Collection plus base and fast drying top coat. 

From left to right: Base Coat, Fast Drying Top Coat, Twinkling Lights, She's Like a Pearl, Blue Spruce, Frost Bite, and Aurora Borealis.

First, I would like to talk about S&P's base & FDTC. They are both very thin, which I love! There's nothing worse to me than an overly thick base or top coat. The base coat did a great job at filling in the ridges of my nails and dried super fast. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone who hasn't found a base coat they love. On to the FDTC...I wasn't as impressed as I was hoping to be. I guess if its a FDTC and it is thin, I shouldn't expect it to do what Seche Vite does. It does dry much faster than a plain old top coat. I think my main problem is patience. I don't usually let the first application of polish to dry before I add a second and I also added the FDTC shortly after applying my second coats. I think if you have patience (and time) to let your polish dry a little prior to using it, it would be great top coat for you.

Let's get on to the pretties!!


Twinkling Lights
Is a clear base with multi-sized gold glitter.

The application of TL was good. It wasn't goopy or too thick. It has just the right amount of glitter. You can add one coat to just add a little bling or use it alone, as I did. This is 3 coats over S&P base coat with S&P FDTC.

She's Like a Pearl

Is an off-white shimmery polish with a hint of holo.

Dynamic Polish ~Holographic Polish~ Swatches & Review

Hey Polish Lovers!

Today I have a review and swatches of Holographic polishes from Dynamic Polish. I got these on a blogger discount.

There are 7 different polishes in the Holographic Collection from Dynamic Polish.

From Left To Right:

Strawberry Spark, Outrageous Orange, Electric Lemon, Lime-Wire, Bombshell Blue, Gorgeous Grape, and Hollow Graphix. 

All of the swatches are pictured with base & top coat. They all went on smooth without any problems with the base. 

Strawberry Spark

Strawberry Spark is a deep pink holographic polish. SS is a beautiful pink color and the coverage is really good for a holographic polish. The effect is gorgeous.

 These two photos are 4 coats.

These next two photos are Strawberry Spark over NYC "Red Velvet Rope". 

I prefer Strawberry Spark by itself. The holographic effect is more prominent without a base color and since it's so pigmented, you really don't need a base color. 

Outrageous Orange

Outrageous Orange is an orange holographic polish. It is almost as pigmented as Strawberry Spark, but not quite. The holographic effect isn't as strong in photos or in person, but I still love it. 

The next two photos show 4 coats of Outrageous Orange.

The next two photos of Outrageous Orange are pictured over LA Colors "Spat!". The 2nd photo is more true to color in person. 

I prefer Outrageous orange with a base of another orange polish underneath. It seems to bring out the holographic effect more. 

Electric Lemon

Electric Lemon is a yellow holographic polish. EL isn't as pigmented as Outrageous Orange, but has more of a holographic effect. 

The next two photos are 4 coats of Electric Lemon. 

The next two photos are Electric Lemon over Pure Ice "Showstopper". For some reason I just couldn't capture the holographic effect when EL is over Showstopper, but it looks beautiful in person. 

I prefer Electric Lemon over a yellow polish, since EL isn't very pigmented by itself. 

Lime-Wire

Lime-Wire is a green holographic polish. LW isn't as pigmented as Electric Lemon, but has a lot more of a holographic effect than Outrageous Orange. It has an amazing holographic effect in person and I was able to capture it in my photos. 

The next two photos are 4 coats Lime-Wire each. 

The next two photos are Lime-Wire over LA Colors "Meadow". I love this!! It shows the holographic effect much better with the color underneath. Absolutely amazing holographic polish! 

 Hands down, I prefer Lime-Wire with a base color. It completely intensifies the holographicness of this polish!

Bombshell Blue

Bombshell Blue is a blue holographic polish. BB is about as pigmented as Electric Lemon. It could completely be worn alone. BB wanted to show off how much of a bombshell it really is in the next two photos which are 4 coats each. 

The next two photos are Bombshell Blue over LA Colors "Aquatic". Don't pay attention to my drooling... 

Blue is my all time favorite color. I love all shades from the lightest to the darkest. Bombshell Blue doesn't disappoint with or without a base color. 

Gorgeous Grape

Gorgeous grape is a purple holographic polish. It is almost as pigmented as Strawberry Spark. Somehow I ended up with only one photo of GG without a base color. That's really all you need anyway- this polish has an amazing holographic effect and the color is gorgeous ;) 

The next two photos are Gorgeous Grape over LA Colors "Tropical Breeze". GG with a base color, just POPS.. No other way to put it. The holographic effect is just completely intensified! 

I love Gorgeous Grape either way, but if I have to choose, I think I like it better with a purple base color. It's just so much more rich and the holographic effect is amazing. 

Hollow Graphix

Hollow Graphix is a silver holographic polish. Even though I love several of the other holographic polishes- I think this one is my favorite. It is just breath taking. 

The next two photos are three coats without a base color.

Last, but not least, the next two photos are Hollow Graphix over LA Colors "Whipped". Whipped is a nude color, so the silver color of HG isn't as intense, but the holographic effect is still all there. 

I love Hollow Graphix both ways. The holographic effect with and without a base color is just stunning. 

Dynamic Polish will have these in her Etsy shop soon.

I hope you enjoyed my review as much as I liked doing it! 

Thanks so much to Dynamic Polish!

Polishnv Review & Swatches

Hey Polish Lovers!

Today is a review and swatches from Polishnv.

Polishnv is a Mother/Daughter team who love everything that is beauty related. They started selling polish on Etsy in March of 2013. 

I got a blogger discount on 3 polishes that I chose. I decided to get two thermal polishes and a holographic polish. 

From Left to Right:
O'Shaughnessy's Chameleon, Pink Flamingo, Fe's Chameleon

First is O'Shaughnessy's Chameleon
It is a beautiful blue/green thermal polish that changes to lime green with heat. It has tons of holographic glitter and is just gorgeous!

Next up is Pink Flamingo
Pink Flamingo is a deep pink holographic polish. I am in love. I didn't want to take it off to swatch more polish. Once I am finished with reviews, this is definitely going back on. 

Last is Fe's Chameleon
Fe's Chameleon is a breath taking periwinkle purple that changes to an amazing dark purple when cold. It also has holographic glitter in it. The polish in the bottle shows the lightest color and the tips of my nails shows the darkest color of the change. Another great polish!

I am so happy that I chose these three polishes! Polishnv makes it hard to choose. Their polish is beautiful and unique. I couldn't be more pleased with these three. I honestly didn't know how I would feel about thermal polish, because I didn't own any prior to these... but I love them!! They are so neat! If you don't have any thermal polish, get some from Polishnv... you won't be disappointed.

I hope you enjoyed my review and swatches from Polishnv.

Until next time,
Love your polish.
