Polish Addict Nail Color Review, Part I

Provided for Review

Good evening!

Tonight I want to show you two of four amazing colors sent to me for review by the creative Laura Sanchez!  Laura is the brilliant mind behind the Polish Addict Nail Color line, along with PANC co-owner, Crystal Fernandez.

I have chatted often with Laura lately and she is the sweetest lady!  I have always admired her unique glitter polishes and I was thrilled when she contacted me to do a review.

First up is a really sweet color that my daughter was head over heels for.  Pretty Zombie is a pink crelly packed full of different sizes and shapes and types of glitter!  This polish was inspired by Rob Zombie and his wife, and has something interesting on every brush swipe.  I found stars, hearts, hexies, neons, mattes, metallics... and the best part of all is that it glows in the dark!  I found that the pink base was a bit sheer for me but with three coats it became opaque.  I want to try this one over pink undies and see if I can make the glitter a touch less overwhelming on my tiny nails.  I put this on over my Orly base and used two coats of HK Girl top coat over it.  The top coat did not take away from the glow in the dark effect at all!

 

Up next is another super fun glitter polish that I'm sure you have heard of!  If you read Nail It! magazine then you have probably seen the Indie Spotlight interview in which Laura says one of her favorites from her polish line is Blurred Lines Glow in the Dark polish!  When I put on Blurred Lines I really was super excited to have such a gorgeous piece in my collection and it became one of my all-time favorites, too.  We all know I love my glitter-filled white crème bases--especially when they are unique to my stash!  Blurred Lines is a white crelly with holo dust that glows in the dark with a mix of black, blue, pink, and white glitters.  Oh my gosh it is pretty!  I love that I found so many different glitters in the formula without it being as many different types as Pretty Zombie.  This is three coats of Blurred Lines in all its magnificence!  This is also over my Orly base with two coats of HK Girl on top.  I want to go put it right back on my nails now...........

 

 

 

For all your glow in the dark polish cravings here is a LINK specifically to the Glow in the Dark section of the Polish Addict Nail Color shop!  This LINK is to the Big Cartel shop home page.

 

You have got to see these beauties!!!  I need to go get my hands on Unicorn Galaxy GITD right this second, you guys.  So pretty!

 

Laura and Crystal also have a fantastic selection of other types of polish including holographic, thermal, and even an extremely popular Mystery Box subscription!  Be sure you go check out the PANC Facebook, too.  If you want to see that interview in Nail It! magazine you can find the link HERE.

 

Here is a little tidbit from the PANC site regarding the GITD polishes in case you are wondering about the glow: "A Photo-luminescent Powder that when charges with natural or artificial light will absorb photons, then re-radiates them and gives a glow. Sunlight and UV black light provide the best effect for a charge."

 

Thanks for dropping by - and come back to see some amazing holographics from PANC that will knock your socks off!!!

KBShimmer Birthday Celebration, The Finale!

This polish was generously provided to me for review by Christy Rose, owner and creator of KBShimmer Bath and Body. The provided polish is graciously accepted and kept, and does not affect my opinions regarding the product.  This blog review post is my honest opinion for the owner's and any consumers' benefit.  Thank you, Christy, for the opportunity to review these awesome polishes!

The gorgeous colors I will share today to continue my celebration of KBShimmer's 5th Birthday are so bright you might wanna grab yo' shades!  I wasn't sure what to think of these two when I opened my review package from Christy Rose, creator of KBShimmer, but when I put them on I was super excited to show them off!

This first polish, Blinded by the Bright, is a super neon yellow crelly with a rainbow of different size and shape glitters!  I got sooooo many compliments on this one, you guys.  The more I stared at it the more I fell for it!  This is three thin coats to grab lots of glitter for layering. It also worked well with two but I couldn't help myself!  What do you think?

The yellow base seemed like it might overwhelm the glitter colors but it really wasn't too bad!  We all know Christy makes amazing polish so I dunno why I doubted.  LOL.  You will notice some of the glitters obviously have yellow polish over them, but it really adds to the depth and doesn't take away from the combo, in my opinion.

Next up is The Dancing Green!  I was really hoping to be blown away by this one because my favorite colors are purple and green.  While it isn't my favorite color by KBShimmer I have absolutely zero complaints about the formula, coverage, or amount of glitter in this crelly.  The green base is thinner than the yellow base and makes the glitters pop from every coat!  Christy says The Dancing Green "features fuchsia square glitters, chartreuse dots,  sapphire hex glitters and fuchsia dots.  A subtle micro shimmer completes this emerald colored polish."  Check it out!  This is three thin coats. 

These two colors are currently still available at www.kbshimmer.com.

A Visit to the KBShimmer Circus!

Continuing with my Feature KBShimmer Month today!  I have an hour for lunch at my new job and of course, once again, I am sitting alllll alone!!!  I am not letting it get me down though because it's the ONLY time I am ever alone!  And it gives me time to blog!  ;)

This polish was generously provided to me for review by Christy Rose, owner and creator of KBShimmer Bath and Body.

Today I have two lovely older colors from a collection by Christy that was inspired by the circus. These two colors are currently still available at www.kbshimmer.com but are going fast!

First up is a color that was on my good ol' wish list for a long time!  Elle is a sheer, pale grey crelly packed with glitter!  I was a little sad about how sheer it was, but when I put one coat over Revlon Stormy Night it turned out to be a perfect amount of glitter!  You could make this one fairly opaque with 2-3 coats alone, however, it gets a little clumpy that way due to the fantastic plethora of glitters.  There are several pink, white, and grey sparklies in here of different shapes and it's a crowd pleaser for sure!  Check out one medium coat of Elle below.  The application was as impressive as all KBShimmer colors and with one or two coats it is a pretty smooth finish. 

Speaking of fantastic glitter, the next color I want to show you is a glitter topper.  It's a clear base with about 100 different types of glitter in each varied batch!  Does that sound like the type of polish everyone should have in their collection or what?!  Funny thing: I never really wanted this one before because the name honestly just bugged me a little.  Now that I have it I am beyond glad! I wore it until it was growing out, then I matte top coated it for fun and wore that until it started to peel!  So. Gorgeous.  This phenomenal glitter topper is called Clown Puke, and it is loads more fun than the name implies!  Perfect application, obviously, this is one medium coat and a few extra dabs because I couldn't help myself over Sally Hansen Black Out. 

Look!  A big, teal holo round glitter!  Look!  A white, matte square!  Look!  A black, matte square!  LOL

Fun stuff!  I even got a star on this hand!  My husband also spotted a red heart in the bottle and I myself saw several sizes of black round glitters, fuchsia round holos, and a purple flower!  How exciting is that?!

I am sure just Clown Puke alone has overwhelmed you, so I am gonna put the store link here for you once more and leave you to your shopping!!! ;)

KBShimmer Fall 2013 Colors Part Two

Yay! Time for part two!

This polish was generously provided to me for review by Christy Rose, owner and creator of KBShimmer Bath and Body. The provided polish is graciously accepted and kept, and does not affect my opinions regarding the product.  This blog review post is my honest opinion for the owner's and any consumers' benefit.  Thank you, Christy, for the opportunity to review these awesome polishes!

Continuing from my previous post, which you can see HERE, I am gonna show you the other two colors in the new KBShimmer Fall 2013 Collection that were sent to me for review!

This perfectly fall color is called Turbulence and when I put it on all I did was stare at my nails! I sincerely think I will use this bottle up and that doesn't happen often! This gorgeous gray color dries to a matte finish and features flecks of glitter. I shook well, used two thin coats and appreciated the fact that it didn't take very long to dry! I adore matte finish polish! In the last pic below you can see what Turbulence looks like with a top coat. 

And last, but certainly not least, is You Autumn Know! If you have read my blog before or know me at all you know I have a serious addiction to white base polish with glitter! I was so happy to see this color when I opened the package from Christy!  This is two coats of You Autumn Know, which, as you can see, has a variety of glitters including two sizes of hex glitter in orange, yellow, and fuchsia, small circles in orange, yellow, and purple, and to accent those are short bar glitters in orange and fuchsia!

So far that's a duochrome, a jelly, a matte, and a crelly!  And that's not even all of the colors in the collection! I sincerely wish I had the others to swatch for you because they are also just stunning! Keep your eyes peeled for swatches of those from other lucky duck bloggers. 

I hear that this collection will be released on September 1 on www.kbshimmer.com! 

Don't forget to also drop by Facebook and leave KBShimmer happy birthday wishes and tell Christy how stunning these colors are at www.facebook.com/kbshimmerbathandbody.

Get Your Pop Rocks Off!

This polish was generously provided to me for review by Tami Willis, owner and creator of The Devil Wears Polish. The provided polish is graciously accepted and kept, and does not affect my opinions regarding the product.  This blog review post is my honest opinion for the owner's and any consumers' benefit.  Thank you, Tami, for the opportunity to review these awesome polishes!

Hi everyone! Happy Opening Day to my pal Tami whose shop you can find here: http://thedevilwearspolish.storenvy.com

Tami was so sweet to nominate me for a Leibster Award when I first began At Peace With Polish and has been a darling friend to me in the nail blogging community! I was thrilled to purchase one of her creations (which you can view in my previous post) and I was so touched when she included two incredible looking extra colors for me to review!

Get Your Pop Rocks Off is a gorgeous yellow crelly polish full of glitter. I think it's easily a companion polish to Girl Love to Blow... Bubbles but is different enough that you need both!!! I used yellow undies for this post but have worn this shade alone and it is buildable to your preference in two to three coats!

Prepare to feast your eyes on this glitter mix: large teal and pink holo circles, small blue, and lime green small circles, with neon pink and green micro glitter!!! I know it sounds like a lot but Tami has her formula mixed to perfection to disperse just the right amount for a funky, fresh look that is not overwhelming on your nails. I think any length and shape can sport this one!

Here is one coat over a pale yellow creme polish and topped with one coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl:

And here is a lovely macro from Tami's new store envy shop!

Please go see all the new pretties you can purchase from The Devil Wears Polish! The store opened at 12:00 p.m. CST so it's going fast! ;)
