Scofflaw Cloud Cuckoo Land and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Hey guys! Yet another week has passed and this week, I have two Scofflaw polishes to show you. I got these quite a while back from Shoppe Eclecticco (now known as Rainbow Connection) and I swatched them quite a while back but only got to the editing recently.


This first one is three thin coats of Cloud Cuckoo Land with a coat of Seche Vite over. I wasn't expecting Cloud Cuckoo Land to be much more creme than jelly because I've seen/read some swatches and description in which this baby had such a gorgeous jelly base. 


Cloud Cuckoo Land kind of reminds me of Femme Fatale Cosmetics Sparkleshell, except without the periwinkle glitter and a whiter base. 
This next one is three coats of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot with a coat of Seche Vite over. It had such a wonderful formula. This one had the jelly consistentcy I was hoping for with Cloud Cuckoo Land.  

And by the way, did you notice what Scofflaw just did there? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? HAHA! Good one there! ;)
Hope you all have a good weekend!

Girly Bits Twitterpated

I got Girly Bits Twitterpated a couple months ago but only decided to take it for a spin recently. Twitterpated is a beautiful lavender holographic shade with a subtle pink shimmer. 
This is three coats of Twitterpated and you can see the shimmer in this picture below. The shimmer does give it that extra oomph and also a sweet, delicate touch.

Here you can see the holo rainbows better but I swear, it is much more holo in real life! 


Purple holos never fail to make my knees weak. <3

Multichrome Oil Spill Nails

Hey y'all! I came across this amazing oil spill nails post by Nail Loopy a while back using some ILNP multichrome polish and I could not get it out of my head so I decided to try and recreate the look with some of the multichromes I have.
I used Ozotic 502 and 504, as well as Girly Bits Hiss & Lear for this look. I first painted a black base and when that was completely dry, I used the dry brush method and painted the various multichromes using random strokes. These pictures were taken underwater to bring out the oil spill effect even better! 



I love that this look was soooo beyond easy to recreate and the effect was just...WOW. Seriously, you guys got to try this out! :)

Alanna Renee Tranquil

Hey y'all. Sorry for the lack of posts. I've been updating my instagram more frequently but I'm finally getting down to posting here! 
This is Alanna Renee Tranquil, the polish I wore for the last #PolishTogether event of 2013. The theme was turquoise and what better polish to wear than this!
I'm wearing three thin coats here with Seche Vite on top just to smoothen out the glitters. Speaking of which, can we talk about the beautiful matte glitters? The teal squares are my favourite part of Tranquil, not to mention how peaceful and serene I feel whenever I look at my nails.

Emily de Molly Hologaphics

I finally decided to take out my Emily de Molly holos to swatch yesterday and I have no idea why it took me this long.



The formula on these were great. I wore three coats in all pictures and there were no streaking, no balding, no need for any aqua base and the holo flames were strong like hell. I can't comment on how long they wear because I swatched them all at once but I would imagine they'd last much longer than the MUS or Layla holos.
Land of Confusion - a green turquoise. 



Amazonia - a teal blue that is close to Land of Confusion but definitely leans more blue.




Indigo Flow - a gorgeous well, indigo blue. It's much more holo in real life.




Devotion - a slightly dusty purple.




Living After Midnight - a deep wine red / burgundy. 




Ground Control - a chocolate brown that reminds me of OPI My Private Jet. 



Love them all and I'm now tempted to get more! I bought my Emily de Mollys from Mei Mei's Signatures, who ships internationally.

Girly Bits Hiss & Lear

Hiss & Lear is the latest multi-chrome polish from Girly Bits which shifts from lime green to deep moss, to purple & fuchsia to gold. I was so excited to cart it out and swatch it! I didn't managed to catch the fuchsia and gold bits but the lime green to cyan to purple shift was stunning enough for me!
Jaw-dropping!
This is 2 coats of Hiss & Lear over a black base.




Get your bottle for Mei Mei's Signatures before it sells out!

Glam Polish BA-NA-NA!

HAPPY MID-WEEK!
I painted my nails last Saturday to cheer myself up after an entire week of crazy OT with Glam Polish BA-NA-NA! I absolutely love how happy and cherry the polish is! Actually, I think I'm falling in love with Glam Polish, with all the gorgeous blue, green and neon creations that keep popping up.
 
This is three thin coats BA-NA-NA!

Lynnderella Witch Cauldron Was It?

I'm cracking open my first Lynnderella with Witch Cauldron Was It? today for the second round of November's #polishtogether. My post last week was one week early so I wanted too do another post.
Witch Couldron Was It? has such beautiful orange hex and bar glitters and as much as it is a Halloween polish, it's still quite a versatile one. I really like it with here with OPI Gouda Gouda Two Shoes. The gold shimmer really does complement the glitter in the Lynnderella. 
Gorgeous!

Nostalgic Lacquer Spam


Firstly, being a music fan, can I just say how cool it was that Nostalgic Lacquer named all the polish in the New Wave Winter colletion after songs!
I bought all three of the white-based ones becuase I was in a specific phase (as I always am! HAHA!)! 
Take On Me is has turquoise, orange and purple glitters. This is three thin coats with a coat of Seche Vite over. 

This is three thin coats of Karma Chameleon with a coat of Seche Vite over. This one has pink, yellow, blue and green glitters.


This is three thin coats of Rock Me Amadeus with a coat of Seche Vite over. I like this one the best because of the black glitter! Together with the raspberry, blue and purple glitters, this baby is such a stunner. Not to mention the square glitters. You know I was sold on this the moment I saw this. 


Have a great rest of the weekend! :)

KBShimmer Band Geek

Hello! Hope your Monday blues have already passed but if they haven't, I have an awesome KBShimmer polish to show you. 
This is three thin coats of Band Geek with a coat of Seche Vite over.


I absolutely love the brass tone glitters swimming in a dark, almost black base. This is so not a geeky polish at all!
Hope you guys like it!
