GlitterDaze The Mythical Collection Swatches & Review

Hello there folks! Today I have some awesome new indie polishes to show you, GlitterDaze's The Mythical collection. These polishes are special because they are multichrome metallic flakies! This type of new flakie seems to be a budding trend for lots of indie polish brands right now, but these ones are different than a lot of the others I've seen. They're not just one color of multichrome, they are made up of fine particles of flakes in different mixes of shades so they create their own unique color shifting effect, if that makes any sense. Let's take a look!

Left to right: Moonlit Mermaid, Essence of a Unicorn, Interstellar Dragon, Forbidden Fairy Dust, Nymphomaniac

On my thumb is Moonlit Mermaid, a primarily blue mix of flakes that shift to aqua, green, gold and purple. My pointer is wearing Essence of a Unicorn, which is mainly a red toned purple with flakes in green, blue, and gold. I have Interstellar Dragon on my middle finger which is a gold mix that includes copper, bronze, and shades of green. Forbidden Fairy Dust is on my ring finger, it's a total mix of rainbow in seemingly finer particles than the others, and it has the addition of holographic microglitter. And last, on my pinky I have Nymphomaniac, a mix of pink, green, gold and teal.

Here is a shade photo so you can see how they look in lower lights. It was basically impossible to show their true amazingness, but you get a glimpse here I think. I've shown all of these at five coats; they are technically meant to be toppers, but I wanted to show you how they look by themselves on the nail to see the overall color effect. Forbidden Fairy Dust was the most opaque, I would say Interstellar Dragon was the least.

One of the gals I watch on YouTube, Jessface90, did a video review of these that is really great and she does live swatches of them! You should watch it HERE. These are quite easy to apply and would look good over a variety of colors, not just dark colors like iridescent flakies. Or you can wear them by themselves as I have shown you here. If I had to pick a favorite, it'd be Nymphomaniac, though that name is my least favorite haha.

This collection is available on the www.ShopGlitterDaze.com right now for $12.50 per bottle. These are really cool and the possibilities on how to wear them are endless! What do you think of them? Have you tried any multichrome metallic flakie polishes yet?

I'm glad you came by today!

Cirque Colors The Metropolis Collection January 2015 Swatches & Review

Greetings earthlings! Today I have the two January shades from Cirque Colors' The Metropolis collection to show you. They are releasing two new crème shades every month to make up the collection, all dedicated to New York! This indie company is based there so it's a great gathering of colors to show their love for the city.

Press Sample

First is Empire State of Mind, a "vampy oxblood red". This one went on very jellyish for me, I'd call it a jelly crème hybrid. I expected it to only need two coats, but I could still see through to my nail bed so I ended up using three. Dries very shiny.

Midnight Cowboy is a fabulous navy blue. This one is also on the jelly side, but it is more opaque than Empire was. I used two coats here. Awesome smooth formula! Also dries nice and shiny.

These are available now for $13 on www.cirquecolors.com. They also have a list of all the stockists they are sold with. What do you think of these dark beauties? I'm partial to blue, so I'd have to say Midnight Cowboy is my fav :)

Talk to you soon!

Essie Bump Up the Pumps Swatch & Review

Happy 2015! How did you spend your New Years? I kept it low key and stayed in with a little netflix, not much different than most nights haha ;) For my first post of the year I thought I'd start with a coral pink, my favorite type of color!

This is Essie Bump Up the Pumps from their Winter 2014 collection, Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low (don't get me started on that name, I kinda hate it blech). This is the only color from the collection that I decided I really had to have. The others were reds, a pale pink and white and a metallic silver/gold. Kinda interesting choices for a winter/holiday collection if you ask me. They all were pretty, I just didn't think they were exciting enough for me to get right now.

This is a fabulous pink leaning coral crème. It practically paints itself on it's so buttery and fantastic, and it's opaque in one coat. I did two here because I prefer to do so, but you could totally get away with one. This color isn't terribly unique either, but I adore this shade of polish and I just can't keep myself from getting them!

I purchased this polish at NailsAve.com for $5.50. You should be able to find them in stores like Ulta, CVS, etc., even though they came out a month or two ago they should still be around. What do you think of this pretty crème? Did you pick up any shades from the Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low collection?

We'll see ya soon!
