Polish Pickup December 2017: CrowsToes Zero

*Press Sample*

Hi everyone! Tonight I have CrowsToes' offering for December's Polish Pickup! The theme for December is "Holidays Around the World" and Lauri chose Nightmare Before Christmas (so Halloween!) to use as her inspiration. This month's Polish Pickup will start on December 1st and will run until December 4th (it's starting a few days early this month to allow for makers to get polishes out by Christmas!). This polish will be capped at 175 bottles this month, so grab it while you can!

Polish Pickup December 2017: Scofflaw Pale Blue Dot

*Press Sample*

Hi everyone! Tonight I have Scofflaw's offering for December's Polish Pickup! The theme for December is "Holidays Around the World" and Finch chose Earth Day to use as her inspiration. 
This month's Polish Pickup will start on December 1st and will run until December 4th (it's starting a few days early this month to allow for makers to get polishes out by Christmas!). 

For Earth Day, Finch drew inspiration from a quote by Carl Sagan about Earth, when viewed from deep space (approximately 3.7 billion miles away) in a photo taken by a space probe. 
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

Pahlish 12 Days of Christmas Collection + Black Friday GWP

Hi everyone! Today I've got Pahlish's new collection and it's a throwback to Pahlish of yesteryear! Pahlish originally released her 12 Days of Christmas Collection back in Winter 2012 and it was (and still is) a highly coveted collection. This brand new 12 Days of Christmas Collection looks nothing like the original collection, just shares the same name but I love that it gives reference to that iconic collection. Disclaimer: I swatched these on vacation so I didn't have my most ideal lighting setup, but I made it work. I don't feel like I captured all of the glorious shifty aspects of some of these because of that, but I tried! This collection will be available for pre-order during Pahlish's Black Friday sale (which extends to 11/27) with a small discount and will be restocked in small amounts when the shop reopens in December. These polishes will not be available again after January 1st, so grab them while you can! Read on for more Black Friday sale details!

Lemming Lacquer You Are What You Worship Collection: Part 1

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! Long time, no see! I've gotten to have a little bit of down time this month (a little getaway last week was very welcomed since I haven't been able to take a vacation since LAST DECEMBER!) Anyway, today I have the first installment of Lemming Lacquer's You Are What You Worship Collection. This collection is inspired by the first season of the show American Gods (and this is just Part 1...Part 2 will be released soon!). 

Here is what Cassie has to say about the inspiration:
Once upon a time... See? It sounds good already. You're hooked. 
Gods are real if you believe in them.  Either the world is crazy or you are and there are bigger sacrifices one might be asked to make than going a little mad. 
You Are What You Worship is a collection inspired by the gods and beings introduced in the first season of American Gods.  Inside is a rich world of ancient myth and folklore at war with technology, modern media, and globalization against the backdrop of America's byways. 

Lemming Lacquer's You Are What You Worship Collection: Part 1 will release on November 23rd at 11 PM Central time in the Lemming Lacquer shop. Lemming Lacquer is participating in the Indie Brand Collective sale (click the link to join their FB group to see all participating brands) during Black Friday sales and the same discount code can be used across all shops in the IBC. Use the code IBCFRIDAY to receive 25% off any purchase of $20 or more (this includes everything in the shop, including the new collection). The sale ends at 1:59 AM Central time on Monday.

Polish Pickup October 2017: Le Polish I'm Sexy and I Gnome It

*Press Sample*

Hi everyone! Today I have Le Polish's addition to the October 2017 Polish Pickup. The October theme is Monsters and Mythical Creaturesand Le Polish has created a polish inspired by the gnome Shmebulock from the show Gravity Falls (that apparently vomits rainbows...and now I want to watch this show!). The sales dates for this month are October 6th-9th in the Polish Pickup shop

I'm Sexy and I Gnome It is a teal jelly filled with red, green, and silver holo glitters of various sizes, blue/purple and red/green color shifting flakes, and large particle red/green color shifting shimmer. Formula was very nice and easy to work with, having a great glitter load a smooth spread. I used 3 thin coats for full coverage and 1 coat of topcoat for a smooth finish. This polish has a ton going on, but man it is gorgeous! The shimmer is absolutely stunning and really sets everything else off. Allison did a fabulous job of combining so many fun elements into one polish and still have the final result remain sophisticated.

Dreamland Lacquer Game of Thrones Duo

*Purchased by Me*

Hi everyone! In continuing with my Game of Thrones-inspired polish posts, next I have my very first Game of Thrones polish purchase...waaay back from 2012. Dreamland Lacquer (though it was Smitten Polish at the time) released the first GoT polishes that I recall, and at the time I had never even seen the show or read the books. They were gorgeous though, so I couldn't help but grab them and they are still beautiful today. Of course these two beauties were long ago discontinued, but I couldn't help but share them in the spirit of GoT!

Illyrian Polish Moonbow

*Purchased by Me*

Hi everyone! I recently picked up my first Illyrian Polishes when I was buying some things from Color4Nails (I had to get some more of my fav strengthener, Duri Rejuvacote). The first one that I decided to wear was Moonbow, which I could not resist when I saw the flakie goodness in person.

Illyrian Polish Moonbow is grey-tinged jelly filled with holo pigment, holo microglitters, holo flakes, and a variety of iridescent flakes. Formula started off sheer, but built up very nicely to opacity in 3 thin coats. It did have a slight texture when it dried down, but not a lot so 2 coats of my regular topcoat were enough to smooth it out (KBShimmer Clearly On Top). This polish is DIVINE! It has so many sparkly/shifty things going on and it's even better in person (photos just don't do the flakes justice in my opinion.) This was, unfortunately, a June COTM shade, so it is sold out now (except I do still see it available at Hypnotic Polish), but Illyrian has a multitude of gorgeous, complex polishes to choose from if you like this one.

Pink Madness!

*Purchased by Me*

Hi everyone! Earlier this year I went on a pink polish buying spree, so I have collected swatches to share all at once with you! These are all really different, but fantastic pinks and I hope you enjoy my spam session! I'm thinking of doing this with my whole collection as well to get wear a variety of my untrieds...what color should I do next?

Nail Art With Born Pretty Store Feather Water Decals

*Purchased by Me*

Hi everyone! Today I have a fun summery mani to share with you! I was scrolling through Facebook recently and one of my friends was wearing one of my favorite yellows ever, OPI I Just Can't Cope-acabana, so I had to pull it out for a mani. After I got it on my nails, I thought I would jazz it up with some nail art and I realized it had been an age since I had used any water decals. I found these lovely pink and white feather water decals from Born Pretty Store in my stash and they looked so pretty with the yellow! Water decals never fail to make me happy when I decide to use them, I need to do it more!

Delush Polish Belle of Winterfell

*Purchased by Me*

Since Game of Thrones has finally decided to come back on, I've pulled out all of my Game of Thrones themed polishes to wear! I'll be posting them throughout the season just for fun. I started out with this beautiful orange beauty from Delush Polish, Belle of Winterfell. This polish was inspired by Sansa Stark, and I think it is the most opportune time to wear it since she is FINALLY back at Winterfell! She hasn't always been my favorite character for sure, but she's had a lot of bad things happen to her and I've enjoyed her growth throughout the seasons. I just hope that she stays smart...Littlefinger is too close at hand and although I believe she knows how manipulative he is, I just hope she doesn't fall for any of his schemes.

ILNP Interstellar

*Nothing to Disclose*

Hi everyone! Today I have a beautiful ILNP from my backlogged mani photo collection to share with you! I have a ton of backlogged photos to share, so I'm going to be doing that bit by bit if I think they are worth sharing!

ILNP Interstellar is a multichrome polish that shifts from navy/teal/purple with holographic flakes throughout. I wore this some time ago and I can't for the life of me remember the exact polish that I layered it over, but it was a dark blue shimmer polish. Interstellar can be worn on its own, but I was just jazzing up an existing mani at the time, so I layered 2 coats of Interstellar over my dark blue shimmer base. The shift in this is lovely, but a bit more subtle than ILNP Ultra Chrome line. I adore the addition of the flakes too...I can never resist a polish that has those! Interstellar is definitely appropriately named because this is a galaxy in a bottle. I know ILNP is famous for their Ultra Chromes and Ultra Holos, but I really enjoy their polishes that have more complex finishes like this one.

Stained Glass Nail Art

*Some Press Samples Used*

Hi everyone! Today I have my first attempt at doing colored jellies over a holo base. I've wanted to do this after seeing these fabulous manis from my pals Emily from Very Emily and Valesha from Peachy Polish (I miss seeing both of their posts so much!).  I don't think mine was quite as amazing as theirs, but it's an OK first attempt. Basically, you achieve this look by applying a silver glitter base and then randomly blobbing colored jelly polishes on top to create a sort of "stained glass" look. Then you finish off with some intricate black stamping. It was easy to do...just give it a try! The most difficult part is waiting for the layers to dry before stamping! I was glad to finish off the design using a collaboration plate from yet another one of my Paint All the Nails! buddies, Lucie from Lucy's Stash!

Polishes Used:

KBShimmer Alloy Matey (Silver Glitter Base)
OPI Y'all Come Back, Ya Hear? (Orange)
OPI Too Hot Pink to Hold 'Em (Pink)
OPI Houston, We Have a Purple (Purple)
OPI Landscape Artist (Green)
OPI Primarily Yellow (Yellow)
Misa Pour Me Something Tall and Strong (Blue)
Rica Blackout (Black Stamping Polish)
BM-XL 209 Collaboration Plate Bundle Monster + Lucy's Stash (Stamping Plate)

piCture pOlish Rose

*Nothing to Disclose*

Hi everyone! Today I have a piCture pOlish beauty to share with you!

Rose is a beautiful pink-toned red filled with holo flakes. The formula spread smoothly and easily and I used 2 coats for full coverage. I have always had a great love for piCture pOlish's holo flake polishes, and this one is no exception. The formula on Rose is more creamy vs jelly so it has more opaque coverage while still having a slightly squishy finish. It's a classic shade with a fun twist...it would be an elegant addition to anyone's polish collection. This shade was a collaboration shade with Cotton Coney, who does some of the most amazing free-hand nail art (check her out on Instagram too)

Monday Layerings: Lollipop Posse Lacquer + OPI

*Nothing to Disclose*

Hi everyone! I've got a gorgeous layering combo to share with you today, courtesy of Lollipop Posse Lacquer and OPI! I haven't purchased many glitters lately, but I could not resist completing my Christmas Kiki Collection with the beautiful This Kiki is Marvelous when Karen recently re-released it (it's sold out now...it was a limited restock). This glitter is really versatile and would look amazing over a variety of colors, but I wanted to pair it with a vampy shade to really make the glitters pop. I chose OPI Kerry Blossom, from the Washington D.C. Collection from Fall 2016. There were so many pretty cremes in that collection...I really need to wear more of them! This was such a lip-smacking combo...love!

KBShimmer Holo-maniacs Group Custom for June 2017

KBShimmer Holo Can You Go is a blurple linear holo filled with ultra chrome flakes that flash purple, pink, green, blue, and aqua. Formula was excellent to work with and I used 2 easy coats for full coverage. The holo is very nice and strong when the light hits it, but in lower lights the colorful flakes really pop out. This polish is just perfection!

Lollipop Posse Lacquer Sea Secret, is a deep, blue-leaning teal linear holo. Formula was super nice to work with and I used 2 easy coats for full coverage.

Lollipop Posse Lacquer Terrible Twos Anniversary Trio

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! Today I have Lollipop Posse Lacquer's Terrible Twos Anniversary Trio. This gorgeous trio is releasing tonight in honor of their 2nd Anniversary! Be sure to visit the Lollipop Posse Lacquer shop tonight at 8 PM EDT to grab the trio for yourself!

Here is what Karen had to say about the collection inspiration
Each of these three shades is inspired by one of Karen's favorite literary characters: Delirium, from Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" graphic novels. Delirium is the youngest of the seven Endless, beings who are neither gods nor mortals, but have existed since the dawn of time. Delirium is abstract, lost, naive, and wise, and embodies a chaotic state of being that we've all experienced at one time or another.
