Venus' Looking Glass ( PLUS A GIVEAWAY! )

Hi there!

I hope you are all well! I'd like to apologize for just falling off the face of the earth for a bit there!

School finished for me about two weeks ago. I was hoping to take summer classes, but that didn't work out in my favor so I'm looking for a summer job. I got mostly A's and One B. I was a little sad about the B, but it was an F so I'm not really THAT upset. I'm just glad that the class is over!

Around the end of the semester, I ended up adopting another dog who was in need of a home. He is a year old, no discipline or potty training. We call him BOY. lolol it is the only thing he answers to.  I love him and he is just the cutest little guy, but boy let me tell you, he is a HANDFUL!

On to the polish shall we?

Back in the end of April- Leah and I were contacted by Carleigh, of Ellison's Organics to see if we would like to review some of her polishs, and she also wanted to offer all our readers a chance to win one of her polishes!

The first polish that I want to show you is Venus' Looking Glass. This is such a gorgeous shimmery deep purple polish! It definitely needs at least two coats, because it goes on super thin with only one coat.

Here it is with one coat.

Here it is with two coats.

Such a transformation with just one more coat! I really really loved this color SO hard!

Here it is with three coats and a top coat.

I preferred to wear this with three coats because it really just absolutely brings out its gorgeous-ness! What do you think about this color? Are you ready to win a bottle??

Orly Color Blast Magenta Gloss Glitter

Hello lovees.

Today I am gonna show you a GORGEOUS polish! I wish I could have gotten a sunshine pic of it, but its been so rainy and gloomy here today that I couldn't. This polish is so pretty though, and its holographic! Its called Magenta Gloss Glitter by ORLY Color Blast.

I think I say this every time, but I hate ORLY brushes. I love the handle, but hate the brush itself. Its too skinny, I hate skinny brushes. The only reason I keep buying them though is they have a great formula. I found out that I suck at painting with skinny brushes, so therefore I hate them. haha

I went to Meijer and was just looking around, not intending to buy anything and I found a huge display with a ton of colors. I was so excited. I want to go back and get more, but since they're $6.99 for half the size of the $8.99 bottles, I don't think I'll be buying much. lol We'll see though. I got them for myself for Mothers Day. lol I will be getting some other polishes too, but I have been waiting for the hubby to have a day off to tell me how many I can get, cuz I would probably max out our credit card if he wasn't there when I ordered them. lol I have a problem.

This polish is great though, goes on nice with 1 coat, but I would recommend 2 to be perfect. Don't mind my ring finger, I smudged it right before I went to take pics and one of my kids was awake, so I didn't have time to fix it. lol

I have been using Nail Tek to try to make my nails better, they're so chippy and thin, I hate it. I tried Duri and it was ok, but when I stop they start to chip even worse and I am terrible about keeping up with it, so I am hoping to get better results with Nail Tek. I am hoping to show you guys some weekly results with it. I started it last week, but forgot to do it every day, so I am starting again today. I just did these today, so this is day one. I will show you guys each week how my nails are doing, obviously. hehe

The pics of me holding the ORLY bottle are without top coat, the pics holding Nail Tek are with that as the top coat. I also used Nail Tek as a base coat, per the instruction.

Anyways, I hope all you mommies had a wonderful Mothers Day and everyone else had a great time celebrating with mothers, or just doing whatever it is you did that day. hehe Hope everyone has a great week and enjoyed my post! xoLeah

Mega

Hi there! 

Today I want to show you a super awesome holographic from the brand I Love Nail Polish called Mega.

When you look at the this polish in the bottle it is like pure holo wonderful goodness! It is not a topper, it is straight up, in yo face holographic! It is wonderful! I've never seen a polish with this much holographic in it! And dry smooth like regular nail polish! It is so intense! nuts! I love it!

Here it is with two coats no top coat.

Here it is with two coats and a top coat.
 

Intense right? It is amazing by itself, but you could totally add a little of this to a bottle of an old polish you have that needs a little oomph! Give it a whole new life and it wouldn't take much either I bet!

Her polishes start at $10. You can check out I Love Nail Polish and give them a like on Facebook and you can check out her store here.

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Tatiana

Hello lovlies!

Todays post is going to be a short one, but I just have to show you this color. Juleps Tatiana!

I got all these from my other best friend, Ariel, for my birthday! I actually have a post coming soon with the Julep scrub. Anyways, I was so excited when I got all these, I don't have enough Juleps. Ariel is just starting to get into polish. She has always just came over and had me do her nails, but now she's been starting to buy her own and right now she's kinda obsessed with Julep. lol I love that she's getting into polish though, not enough of my friends are into it! lol I can't wait to plant these seeds too. We keep having ridiculous weather here, and the last two days we've had frost advisory's. I just want it to be spring already! lol

 Its such a pretty copper color. I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I don't really like Juleps bottles. I wish they were wider or something. They tip over so easy, I almost had a doozy with this one. Anyways, this color goes on so nice. You only really need 1 coat, but 2 is perfect. The color is so shiny and vibrant. I just can't get enough of it.

In case you don't already know, you can get Juleps here. They are about $14, but if you sign up for their maven subscription boxes they're about $11.20.

Hope everyone has a great week and enjoyed my post! xoLeah

I'm Stucco on You

Hi there!

Today I want to show you one of the colors from the Nicole by OPI line Roughles. I think that since they are pastels you are maybe supposed to say like Ruffles, because they are textured so roughles doesn't make a lot of sense. Or maybe that is the point..

Anyways the color I want to share with you is I'm Stucco on You. It is a super pretty purple pastel texture polish with specks of darker purple. This polish is not glittery, it is just textured. I kind of liked that.

I had originally swatched this with two coats, but I am really not sure if you are supposed to use two coats on textured polish, so I took it off and re did it with one thick coat. I feel like that is probly how you are supposed to do it because it always is more defined and textured with just one coat.

Here it is with one coat no top coat.

I don't have any texture polishes that aren't glittery, and as much and I love glitter. I think these are pret-ty sweet.

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Cheeky Chops

Hi there!

A couple of weeks ago I was just really needing a yellow polish on my nails! I didn't want any color except yellow. So I decided on Cheeky Chops by butter LONDON.

This yellow is a super gorgeous yellow! Not too bright, not too pastel. It was pretty perfect, really. It coated so evenly and nice, with no streaking. And I think that is something that just doesn't happen often with yellow polish. At least for me..

It reminds me of flowers and summer.. Which I am seriously hoping for both very soon!

Here it is with two coats and a top coat.

I really enjoyed this polish. If you are in a yellow mood and come across this, I definitely recommend it! I don't think it could look bad on anyone!

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy!
