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!

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

Don't forget to check out Polish Revolution on Facebook and tel her I sent ya!

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

Until next time,
Love your polish.

Sick Lacquers Swatches & Review

Hey Polish Lovers!

Today I have two polishes that I am swatched and am reviewing from Sick Lacquers.
 Sick Lacquers is a shop on Etsy that opened in December of 2012. It is run by Peggie and her son, Jonathan. All of their polish is handmade and 3-Free. They current have 10 pages of polish... yes, 10! And if you still can't find exactly what you're looking for, they also take requests for your very own custom polish. Their polish starts at $2.50 and goes up from there. These polishes were sent to me for review.


On the left is Itty Bitty Neon Pretty and on the right is Mysterious Ways.
Both of the polishes are crellies. They are glitter polish with a cream/jelly base. Both of these are awesome! I am a crelly fanatic, so I am very excited to review them. 


First off is Itty Bitty Neon Pretty.
It is a very light pink base with purple, pink, light pink, and white glitter in varying sizes. All the glitter in this polish is hexagon shaped. It has a thicker base, but is still pretty sheer, which I like. If the base was opaque, you wouldn't be able to see the beautiful glitter.
Shown here is two coats plus top coat.  


Next is Mysterious Ways.
It is almost an opaque white base with all kinds of glitter. It has so many different colors. The glitter is different sizes and looks to be mainly hexagon shaped with some squares thrown in here and there. This polish is a little thinner and dries super fast. I couldn't believe how fast it dried. This polish is great for every day. You don't have to worry if your polish will match your outfit; trust me, it will. 
Shown here is two coats plus top coat. 

I love and am impressed with both of these polishes. The application was stress free and very smooth. The glitter was not fussy coming out and I did not have to use my brush to place any. They both had great coverage. 

If you would like to purchase either of these or check out some of their other polish, you can do it by visiting SickLacquers on Etsy.
For a mini in either of these, it is $3.50 and full size is $7.00.

They also have a Facebook page, which is Sick Lacquers.

I hope you enjoyed my review and swatches of Sick Lacquers. Go check them out; you won't be disappointed!! 

Until next time,
Love your polish.
