Black Holos

Hello lovees!

Today I am going to show you two really awesome black holos that I got recently. The first one is The Symbiote by Chirality. The second is The Beyond by Color Club. I love both of them because they're both black holos, but look so different! Color Club is one of my favorite brands and Chirality is a new brand to me. I have heard of it before, but this is my first time using/owning any. I got The Symbiote from Jen from Jen's Nail Files. We found out awhile ago that we live 5 minutes from each other, so when she had a bunch of holos for sale, I couldnt resist because holos are my FAVE!! Beyond I got from my new friend in my Adopt A Friend group that does nail polish exchanges. I think The Symbiote is my favorite of the two though just because its a darker black, but like I said, they're both great!! Its funny how you can have practically the same polish, but they look so different. They're both great formulas and go on very nice. They both stayed on great for the week or so that I wore each one!

Sorry this is such a short post, but hope you all are having a great week and enjoyed my post. XOLeah

Leaf Fairies

I am not really a fan of fall... When I think of fall I think of wet leaves and it being gloomy. It just seems like its always wet and gloomy in fall and I don't like that! HOWEVER, I do love fall colors and bonfires and the smell of burning leaves. So I mean there are a few things about fall I like.

My new friend Rebecca from Flutterby Lacquer was my buddy for September for the group Panacea and I are in, Adopt A Friend. We have both mentioned it before. You get paired up and send letters and nail goodies to your pal each month. Its quite fun! Anyhow, she just got started making her own nail polish line and so as part of my package for September, she sent me two of the polishes that she made! I was super excited cuz I am always down for some indies. Indies are the best! The two she sent me are Leaf Fairies and November Hollow. I think the names are perfect for the polishes, they fit perfectly.

Leaf Fairies is a glitter top coat and its GORGEOUS!! Its now one of my top 5 favorite glitters for sure! The one she sent me though had a really strong nail polish smell to it. So since she's my friend on fb and she's so nice, I wanted to talk to her about it. She apologized over and over and immediately ordered new base! I was like woah! I just wanted to know why it was stinky. hehe I thought it was so awesome of her though to care so much about what I thought. She said she didn't want others to be turned away because of the strong smell, I totally agree. I still love it enough though that I don't care and am still going to continue to use it! haha Thats how pretty this is, foreal. So yea, she is getting a brand new base so it shouldn't stink anymore, YAY! I had a hard time getting a good picture of how truly awesome this glitter is, there were purples, reds, golds, copper, silver. Different size glitters. Just a big bottle of awesome glitterness! It went on very nicely too, no digging around for glitters! I love when glitter is like that!

The November Hollow is a nice copper color with some holo glitters. Its not too much, just a hint and its so pretty!! Perfect fall color. In the pics it kinda has a pink look to it, but it doesn't look pink on. It goes on very nicely, two coats was perfect. This stuff lasts forever too! I had it on with Seche Vite top coat and after about 4 days it was still in great shape. I am a picker though and started to pick at it. lol

If you are interested in purchasing any of these or checking out her other stuff you can go to her website here. She also has a misfit section which has Leaf Fairies in it for only $4 but its the stinky ones. So if stinky polish doesn't bother you and you are looking for some awesome, inexpensive glitter, check it out! Make sure you read the descriptions of her misfits though before you purchase.

Hope you enjoyed my post! Have a great week and don't forget to check out our awesome blogiversary giveaway going on right now here! xoLeah

Sparklegasm!

Panacea and I have talked about Nail Nation 3000 a lot, but seriously, her stuff is awesome if you haven't tried it already you can visit her store by clicking here! You can check out her fb page by clicking here!

Here is everything I used for this mani. I was in a Nail Nation mood, can you tell? hehehe I use Duri Rejuvacote as a base, Seche Vite as a top coat, some NN cuticle oil, then Silver Holo Gasm from NN, Amazeballs from NN, and then the white nail art duo pen from Art Club.

So anyways, I have had Amazeballs and used it before (previous post with Amazeballs here.) and I just love it. A month or two ago I received Silver Holo Gasm. Omg this stuff is GORGEOUS! At first when I got it, I thought it didn't look how I remembered seeing it, cuz it really is like two totally different looks in sunlight and indoor light. It looks sorta like craft glitter inside, and then outside its just absolutely gorgeous!

 I took a video too just to show you guys how amazing this stuff is, you can see the pretty holo in the Amazeballs too!

Wanted to add something cute to the mani and I won some random packs of glitter from Glitter Me This about two weeks ago and finally decided I should use some! This white bleeds like a mofo though, so after sitting for a bit, the Amazeballs started to come through and make the pedals pinkish. Its ok though I suppose, at least it matches. haha 

The little blue glitters I used were pretty easy, just painted one extra layer of polish on right before I applied them and used that as adhesive. The top coat holds them in place.

I tried to get a picture of them in the sunlight, but it was real gloomy here for like 2 days and then I forgot about it. lol This stuff lasted forever. I took it off after about 4 or 5 days and did a new mani and it was still in great condition, polish wise. The blue glitters fell off, but I was kinda picking at them without realizing. haha

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Have a great week! xoLeah
