A New Collection From Jade - Coming Soon!

How gorgeous do these look? I am seriously in LOVE!! Just thought I would share the polish porn with you!

Chanel Provocation

I got a gift in the mail from a wonderful lady today. To say I was overjoyed is an understatement. The only one else at home at that moment was my dad so I showed him who said "So what? Its a nail polish." Men just will never get it. 

I had to just put this on the SECOND I got it in the mail today! Off came the oh so disappointing Tiger Puke and on went Chanel Provocation. This is before clean up. Its a very dark purple that leans burgundy. Kind of a dark purple-ey berry colour. Its dark, but not so dark it looks black. I LOVE IT!!! And as always, I took the pictures BEFORE clean up. I don't know why I always do that!! One day I will do the photographing LAST. BAH!!

Naild'it Unique Polish Tiger Puke Doesn't Quite Nail It!

I was super excited to get the travelling Indie polish box and the colour that I just HAD to have and HAD to play with ASAP was Tiger Puke. I was head over heals in love with it in the bottle. Its small matte glitter in yellow and purple. Basically, imagine Floam with purple in stead of green/teal!! I was so excited and it was the clear cut winner for my first manicure. Sadly........ the excitement ended right there. This polish is an EPIC FAIL! 

Now I have to reiterate, I LOVE THE LOOK OF THIS POLISH!!!!! But it was a thick, gloopy impossible to work with mess.  It was very thick and the glitter kind of stuck together in balls. It did not want to spread at all, and it took forever to dry. When I tried to do my second coat five minutes later it still pulled at the first coat and moved it around somewhat leaving bald spots. The pictures below are with three coats and it took more than an hour to dry. I did put on a fast dry top coat and the top of it was dry to the touch but the bottom was still wet and able to dent even 90 minutes later. 

Butter London Holiday 2012

From left to right: Fairy Cake, Shambolic, Jack The Lad, Fiddlesticks, Scallywag and Scuppered. I think I may need Fairy Cake, Jack the Lad and Sacllywag. There are also three new lippy/polish sets made up of Chancer, Frilly Knickers and West End Wonderland. The polishes in the duos are not new but the lippys are!! Which ones are you lemming???

MUA Nail Constellations

Have you seen these yet? If you don't know what they are, MUA has come out with what they call Nail Constellation. They are basically the tiny microbeads that came in the Ciate Caviar kits, but they are JUST the beads. They are multi-coloured mixtures and at a retail value of 3 pounds each, they are very reasonable. Yes, I know you can go to a craft store and buy these for half the price, but they are really pretty combinations. If they had them on this side of the pond, I would TOTALLY buy them!

Essence Gorgeous Bling Bling & Oh My Glitter!

So I have had these for ages and have no idea why I have not yet posted the swatches of them. When the new colour and go polishes came out I was not sure I would be a fan. Mainly, I hate the bottle shape. Why did they have to change it? But then I saw these two colours and with my Shoppers Rewards they were free, so I got these two. They really were the only two that jumped out at me. I found the wear on these subpar. The old colour and go I had no issues with but these chipped on the second day. Not sure if its just this finish, or if its the new formula of the entire line.

Cleopatra In New York

Even More New Butter Londons!

So B Glowing has this set of Butter London polishes on sale for 36.00. I have NEVER seen/heard of these three polishes before.

Now Rosie Lee, Frilly Knickers and West End Wonderland are all polishes I have seen before. But the picture does not mesh with those three polishes and the description says these polishes are:

• Shambolic - Sheer, pinky-purple glitter with larger hexagonal lavender glitter suspended in a black base
• Jack the Lad - Opaque, moss green shimmer with gold, turquoise, and green microglitter.
• Scuppered - Opaque, copper shimmer with pink, gold, and green glitter.

Have any of you seen or heard of these before? Ordered from the site? I am interested to hear details!! The following are also for sale and also new to me colours!! I am assuming this is the holiday collection??

Scuppered - copper shimmer with pink, gold, and green glitter.

Fairy Cake Nail Lacquer - silvery, multi-colour iridescent glitter suspended in a light grey base.

The Travelling Indie Nail Polish Box - My Selections

So over the next few weeks you will see a lot of reviews of the following polishes, but until then I thought Id show you all a teaser. So on a forum I am on there is a travelling nail polish box. Basically you get a box in the mail JAM PACKED with nail polish and you take out what you want, put in what you want and send it to the next person who takes out what SHE wants, puts in her selections, and so on and so forth. This is the first edition of the Canadian INDIE box. Meaning all polishes that go in this box must be indie polishes. I did take a nerd lacquer polish as well, but for some crazy reason the picture didn't save to my memory card. Apparently it was too awesome for my memory card to deal with. I will retake the photos tomorrow and hopefully remember to update this post to show it as well! But until then, here are the bottle shots of the polishes I chose. This was maybe a quarter of what was in the box, and I put in many more than I took out. I cant wait to sign up for round two!!!!

This one looks so awesome and amazing in the bottle I am almost afraid to try it for fear of it letting me down! I really hope it lives up to the excitement. It is right now my hands down favourite of my selections!
