Sheswai - Dig It

Today I'd like to show you a new polish I have from Sheswai Lacquer called Dig It. It's a lovely mid-tone grassy green that totally coincides with the "modern glamour with a rootsy feel" mantra of Sheswai. This is wonderfully pigmented and super shiny. This is two coats.

I will always love Sheswai polishes first for their beautiful bottles, the wooden cap is just a showstopper. The quality of their polish is also always top shelf. You can purchase Sheswai Lacquers like this one on their website http://www.sheswaibeauty.com/ for $16 each. What do you think of this beautiful fresh creme?

Two Autumn Manicures

Autumn?! Uhh, pretty sure it's winter Kel. That might be what you're thinking, but yes these are autumnal type manicures but I still wanted to show them to you cuz they're awesome. And as I frequently tell my mother, I do what I want! ;)

This is Jinx by The Hungry Asian. She came out with this close to Halloween and I snatched it right up. It's a black cream with large orange hex glitters, medium/small yellow, silver, and gold hexes, and micro orange bits. It's a fab Halloween polish. This is three coats.

Rootsy by Sheswai is a "rich, roasted caramel pumpkin" cream. I didn't like this at first but I wanted to, so I made myself wear it as a full manicure and it really grew on me. It's oddly flattering and was so in season it was ridiculous (I wore this near the middle of November). This is two coats. And I always have to mention their beautiful bottles and wooden handles. Just love!

You can buy The Hungry Asian polishes from her Etsy store for $9.25 and $4.50 for a mini. You can get Sheswai lacquers from their online store for $16.

Sheswai - f*ckyeah

Sheswai has come out with a brand new limited edition nail polish color for summer. This color is named something explicit so fair warning, if profanity offends you, please stop reading this post.

fuckyeah
It is with a smile and a wink-of-the-eye that we happily introduce the newest addition to our Sheswai collection of lacquers.
The tones in this color are hard to describe but rest assured once this sexy magenta-fuschia-violet surprise hits your tips you’ll be saying…fuckyeah.

This is a fabulous vividly bright purple polish that is perfect for summer. The name itself is really reason enough for me to own it. I have a bit of a sailor mouth so it cracks me up. I also just really like the polish, this brand has a great ideology and the bottle design is amazing. The color applies really nicely and it's opaque in one coat, though I used two here. I also applied a topcoat as it dries a bit matte.

This is available now at SheswaiBeauty.com (as long as supplies last) for $16. What do you think of this saucy lady? I know some of you gals will be getting it just for the name :D Oh yeah, hope you don't mind my ultra-nubbins. I had just shortened them and then proceeded to break a nail. I can't stand my nails being different lengths, so chop chop! Hope you have a great weekend all!

Sheswai Lacquers: Swatches & Review

I love this nail polish. I love that this nail polish brand has a manifesto. I love the bottle design. I literally gasped when I first saw them. Sheswai Lacquers are 3-free and sold in Anthropologie stores and online for $16. They have caps made from sustainably harvested wood, grown on family owned tree farms. HOT. And a portion of their sales is "given to organizations that help educate, and sustain our beautiful planet." I got the opportunity to try out two of their colors, which have freaking adorable names, and I was just as impressed with their quality as I was the brand image.

Honeyfox is a bright true red that seriously seduced my eyeballs. There are many reds out there, that is sure enough, but this one is pretty on point. It slid over my tips without any trouble and covered beautifully in two coats. It dried quickly too, I don't usually put topcoat on when I'm swatching and I happened to nick my nail against the bottle before I had taken any photos and it was already solid. Amazing.

Stoned is described as "a smooth pebble grey with a touch of lavender and a hint of shimmer that will leave you feeling blissfully happy." Well it damn well left me happy, it left me ecstatic! I absolutely adore this taupey shimmer bomb, it is so classy but still suitably bold. This is two coats as well.

I know many folks won't splurge $16 on nail polish, but you have to admit, they are awful cute. And from my experience, they perform just as well or better than other high end brands. Check out Sheswai's website, http://sheswai.com/, to see their philosophy on life and polish. I think you'll like what you see.
