Classic Films Swatches, Review, & SALE!!!

Hey Polish Lovers!!

Today I have swatches, a review, and a sale from Classic Films! 

Classic Films Cosmetics was started by Anna in June of 2012. She chose the name "Classic Films" due to her love of fashion (how classics don't go out of style) and cinema. 

Currently she has 13 polishes in her shop. She just added three new polishes on September 19th, which is also the day her sale started! Stay tuned for a coupon code for 20% off your order!

Anna sent me 7 polishes to swatch & review, so let's get to it!

The first four, from left to right:

Sunset Boulevard, Lured, D.O.A., & They Live by Night

The last three, from left to right:

Impact, Lady in the Lake, & Spellbound

All swatches are done with a base and top coat. 

Sunset Boulevard is described as a rich combination of gold, copper, caramel, and bronze hex glitter... topped off with a bit of purple.

In this first swatch, there is one coat & ring finger has two coats. 

This second swatch of Sunset Boulevard is a gradient over a gold polish I made.

I love Sunset Boulevard for Fall & Winter! It's the perfect time of year for this polish!

Lured is described as having a lot of gold in it! Gold pigments, holo hexes, and holo squares. It also has turquoise and purple holographic glitter. This polish was inspired by a dress that Anna loved, but obviously couldn't wear every single day. 

There is only one swatch of this polish; that's all you need to see the beauty of it. The swatch is two coats. 

I am in love with this polish. It's perfect for any time of year and is definitely something special, like the dress that inspired it.

D.O.A. is described as being all about a foundation of gunmetal. It is made interesting with pastel green and lavender hex glitter, silver holo slices, and iridescent shreds. 

The swatch below is two coats. 

The next swatch is one coat (ring finger has two coats) over black. 

D.O.A. can be dressed up or down. You can use it over any color and has the perfect amount of glamour!

They Live by Night is described as having a pinch of red glitter combined with blue and gunmetal glitter & pigment. It is topped off with silver holo moons and stars. 

Like Lured, there is only one swatch of They Live by Night. It is two coats.

This is a great polish that you can choose to or not to use the moons and stars. I love the effect of it! Another great polish for Fall & Winter!

Impact is described as being grounded in a very light, silvery pink base...loaded with black dots, diamonds and bars. It is topped off with hot pink hexes and cotton candy shreds. 

The first swatch is one coat, two coats on ring finger. 

 The second swatch is one coat (two on ring finger) over white. 

I love all the elements in this polish! It's very unique and definitely has Impact!

Lady in the Lake is described as having a light silvery-blue base with just a hint of rose-pink glitter and gold flakes.

This first swatch is two coats.

The second swatch is one coat over Broadway "O! Jessica"

Another amazing polish that you can use alone or over another polish. Try it over red to have more of a purple tone...you can play around with color combos and I bet every single one will look amazing!

Spellbound is described as having a pink pigment base with lavender, sunshine, and white glitter. It is topped off with lavender daisies and hot orange hearts. 

First swatch is one coat (two on ring finger). 

Second, and last swatch, is one coat over black. 

Again, a polish that can be used alone or layered over any color to get a different look every time. It's a very girly polish and you can choose to use the daisies and hearts, or leave them in the bottle. 

I loved swatching Classic Films' polishes! She does a great job at making polish that is very versatile and can be used in many different ways! 

I feel like I am forgetting something... But don't think so... 

Just kidding!!!!

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!

Northern Star Polish Swatches & Review

Hey Polish Lovers!

Today I have a review & swatches from Northern Star Polish. I was sent their Halloween set which will be released September 15th, 2013. 

Northern Star Polish got started in March of 2012. They strive to use high quality & durable ingredients in their polish, which means their polish is never  diluted with clear top coat, they use stainless steel agitator balls, solvent resistant glitter, and proper suspension base. All of their polish is 4-Free: DBP, Toulene, Formeldehyde, and Formeldeyde-resin free. Northern Star personally test all glitter and pigment for months before using them in their products. All polish goes through a holding & testing period before it is released for sale. 

Northern Star Polish comes in two sizes: Small is 9 mL/0.3 oz for $5.50 and Full Size is 15 mL/0.5 oz for $8.50.

 All the polish in their Halloween collection are distinct, but work well together. They are great for fall!  

First up, a photo of all the polish I was sent. 

The only reason Bella Morte looks low is because I forgot to take this photo prior to swatching (oopsie!). 

From Left to Right: Pumpkinlicious, Twisted Treat, Bella Morte, Macabre Delight, and Phantasmagoric. 

Every one of these polishes went on smooth and without any problems. The application was easy and the coverage was good. They didn't have an extremely strong smell. I am very pleased with this brand. If you haven't tried Northern Star Polish, you have to!

Twisted Treat 

Twisted Treat is a black polish with orange shimmer. 

This is two coats over a base coat. I also have top coat on. It is absolutely gorgeous and is a must have for Fall! 

Pumpkinlicious 

Pumpkinlicious had a clear base with gold, burnt orange, and green glitter. In this photo it is two coats over Twisted Treat. I also have on a top coat. 

This is another amazing polish for fall. It would look good over almost any fall color and is packed with glitter. I love it! 

Bella Morte

Bella Morte is a blood red jelly polish with matte red glitter and black flakes. 

In this photo I have on two coats over a base coat. Again, I have on a top coat. 

This polish is a beautiful red. It's bright but not over-powering. It did not stain my nails or skin at all. I love the glitter in it! It would look good with any skin tone!

Macabre Delight

It is described as a blue jelly with various shades of purple and neon green glitter. It is pictured here over a base coat and under a top coat. It is two coats of the polish.

This polish is awesome! It would be great for any season! It looks to me to be more of a purple color. The picture is true to color on my screen. Whether it is blue or purple doesn't matter, it's amazing! 

Phantasmagoric

Phantasmagoric is a teal jelly with red-violet-blue color shifting glitter. It is pictured with two coats in between base & top coat. For this polish, I had to do two photos. The first is a straight shot with flash. The second is a side shot to try to capture the color shifting glitter. 

This is such a beautiful color- even without the color shifting glitter. It's the perfect teal color and with the color shift--- it's breathtaking. I can't even describe how pretty this is. You have to see it in person to get the full effect! 

I absolutely love this whole collection! It's great for fall!! I had a blast swatching theses.

I hope you enjoyed my review & swatches of Northern Star's Halloween Collection! Don't forget, it will be released September 15th!

Until next time, 

Love your polish!

Polish Revolution "F'ing Classy"

Hey Polish Lovers!

Today I have F'ing Classy made by Polish Revolution. 

I won this polish from a giveaway they were having. 

When I received the polish in the mail, it came with their business card and a nifty Polish Revolution sticker. 

 This polish is crazy beautiful. It's all small holographic hexagon glitter in a clear base. It is made up of different shades of purple and teal glitter. I think there are also some silver holographic glitter. To say this polish is packed with glitter is an understatement. There isn't anything to describe it's intensity. 

On to what's what; Ring finger ~ 2 Coats, Middle finger ~ 1 coat over white, Ring finger ~ 1 thicker coat over black, Pinkie Finger - 1 coat over Pure Ice "Kissy Kiss".

This is a beautiful polish that you can pair with any color and it will look good. 

If you would like to purchase F'ing Classy, you can do so by visiting Polish Revolution on Etsy.

A full size bottle of this beauty is $9.00

I hope you enjoyed my review and swatch of F'ing Classy.
