Polish Addict Nail Color, Part II

Provided for Review



Hi, everyone! 

Before we get started I have a quick request.  I received a comment on my last post that my page is hard to read, but she did not give me any specifics as to what the problem is.  When I am on my PC and my iPhone the layout and colors seem fine to me.  I would love to correct this issue if necessary but I need you all to tell me where the problem is. Thanks sooooo much! :)

Thanks for your patience while waiting for this post.  This one is pic heavy :D

Today I am going to show you two more amazing polishes from PANC - but unlike the first two these are HOLOGRAPHIC!  Woo!  Who doesn't love holographic polish?!

First up is Unicorn 2.2, a gorgeous silvery-lavender beauty.  This shimmering, glitter-filled holo polish catches the sun in so many various ways and is still just stunning in regular lighting.  The combination of sparkle in this baby impresses me; I just adore unique polish.  It's sure to please everyone with its lavender base, lavender flakies, and iridescent glitter.  I wore it alone in three coats and was very impressed with the formula.


 

 
 
Up next is a lovely shade called Alter Ego.  Alter Ego is not only beautiful and holographic but it is also a thermal polish!  The PANC store site says this is a "holo thermal that is a light amber when warm and turns darker when cold.  (An Ultra Thermal-Dust which changes from one color to another instead of transparent at temperatures of 86F and warmer. [...])"  I absolutely loved this color when I put it on and wore it for a week.  The neutral amber-brown was just perfect for the cool weather we are having!  I wore two coats of Alter Ego for perfectly full coverage.
 




 
Here is the LINK to the holographic polish section of PANC, and here is the LINK to get to the main shop page.  Don't you just LOVE these holographics?!  They are very strongly holo in all light sources and the formula is just perfect.

My First Scofflaw Nail Varnishes!

Hi, everyone!  So tonight I want to show you my first two Scofflaw Nail Varnishes!  I can't believe I waited so long to buy from this Indie brand.  These two colors are unique and stunning, each one was opaque in two coats, and the formula is impeccable.  These two polishes were purchased by me.
 
Before we get started I must ask you to excuse my incredibly random watermark on these pictures.  Unfortunately my program is not working properly and while the watermark was in the right place on the program, apparently it did not translate correctly when I saved the pic.... however the heck that works.... :(
 
Moving on!!!!
 
First up from Scofflaw is "Drop Dead Fred" and it is officially one of my new favorite polishes!  I just couldn't stop staring at it while I wore it.  Couldn't.  Stop.  And who would want to!?  "It's a vivid lime green with butterscotch shimmer highlights. It boasts glitters in metallic butterscotch and various sizes of holographic blue," says the Scofflaw site.  What a freakin' masterpiece.  I am obsessed with the shimmer, the colors, the formula..........  Just dreamy, you guys.  You have to get this one!!!  (As you can probably see, this is the last swatch set I watermarked with that program....)
 
 

Next is "Your Cat Ain't Cute," a vibrant coral creme polish full of delicate gold, matte neon coral, and various sizes of metallic brown glitters.  My camera barely does this polish justice!  I don't think that the coral color suits my skin as well as I'd like, but nonetheless I am obsessed with this beautiful glitter polish.  I think that this second photo is very true to the actual color of the polish you're getting.  Also - check out the new watermark!  Ooooh ahhhh!

 
You can find these and other amazing colors online at the Scofflaw Nail Varnish shop!  There will be a restock on February 8th!  You can subscribe for email alerts and follow along on Facebook, too.

Every Nook and Cranberry

Here is a lovely polish from the KBShimmer Fall 2013 Collection!  I wanted Every Nook and Cranberry from the moment I read about it on the press release info Christy sent with my Blogger package in August.  My darling husband got it for me for Christmas!  Woo!

This polish is described on KBShimmer.com as "a cranberry satin matte polish with a subtle pink and gold shimmer."  I adore mattes and this one did not disappoint.  Every Nook and Cranberry goes on in two flawless coats for full coverage and has a pretty rapid dry time.  I oohed and ahhed over the gorgeous glitters and blue tones in this polish as I applied it and I really want to try it out with  top coat!

 


Here is a DIRECT LINK to Every Nook and Cranberry on the KBShimmer shop website!!  Go check out all the other gorgeous beauties she has up for sale.  I have 19 different colors by Christy and they are of amazing quality and uniqueness!

Naomi Rose

This polish was generously provided to me for review by Darah Patterson, owner and creator of Sweet Tea 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, Darah, for the opportunity to review these awesome polishes!

Sweet Tea Polish is so much fun!  Today I have another color Darah calls Naomi Rose.  Naomi Rose is described as an opalescent turquoise with pink, purple, aqua & silver glitter.  I love how each color stands out independently from the base but in certain lights it all blends together.  It sound strange, but it's just hard to describe!  Pictures really don't do this creation justice.

I layered two thin coats over Sinful Colors Snow Me White for this mani and it got so many compliments at work!  I adore looking at the shimmery color shift happening in this subtle shade!  A must have for glitter lovers as well as the more conservative of polish wearers.  There was no trouble applying this one, I just shook my bottle up and let it sit upside down for a little while before use and the glitter was very easy to grab.


See how it kinda looks like a glare on my nails and in the bottle?  It's not!  That's the turquoise standing out!


What do you think?  I'm so happy to have this one!  Once again here is the shop info for Sweet Tea Polish: You can purchase Sweet Tea Polish on etsy here for $9 a bottle plus shipping: http://www.etsy.com/shop/designsbydarah.

Nice Planet!


Kunimitsu Nail Potions is a really neat little Indie brand I discovered on Etsy and absolutely love! This color really caught my eye when I first saw it and when I found it in a blog sale I was so excited.  Nice Planet! is a white base with a green shimmer that I did not notice until I put it on my nails!  The shimmer really sets this glitter packed polish apart from other similar colors. 


This is two medium coats with no white undies. The polish is very opaque and super easy to work with - perfect formula and glitters in green, teal, and gold!


You can purchase Kunimitsu Nail Potions on etsy.com here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Kunimitsu

If you have any of these up for swap or sale let me know, would ya?!  I just adore these colors and can't wait to get more.
