Glitzology: Blue Lagoon

I'm on a roll with these late postings, huh? I almost forgot that I had the most gorgeous glitter bomb to show you today. It's called Blue Lagoon by Glitzology. Everytime I hear the name I think of the movie. I thinks its with Brooke Shields. Anyways, Blue Lagoon is an amazing mix of aqua blue, some silver and golden glitters of varying sizes/shapes. This polish has made it to my favs list. The formula was a bit thick and chunky but that just made the glitter payoff perfect. I layered it over Essence: Jacob's Protection. I'm sure it would be opaque in a few coats on its own but it might get too thick since there's soooo much glitter.

Essence: Edward's Love

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIIIIIIGGGHHHHT!
Ok! I'm sorry for that. I was watching Kevin Hart's stand up comedy show and I had to get it out of my system.
On with the show! Today I have the last Twilight polish from Essence to show you. It's called Edward's Love. Okay so I wish I really was the object of Edward's affections but this is the closest I will ever get <3
Edward's Love is a black base jam packed with silver glass fleck/shimmer.  I just don't think of this when I think of Edward. Maybe I was expecting something a little more sparkly or holo maybe. I had a better time applying this one than I did with Jacob's Protection & Alice Had A Vision-Again.

Essence: Alice Had A Vision-Again

Hello! Today I am posting really late since I had to work and then we went to a Three Kings Day event at a local McDonald's to help give out toys to the children of the community. Today I have the third polish from Essence's Twilight Collection called Alice Had A Vision-Again. Alice Had a Vision-Again is very similiar to Jacob's Protection except it's a blackened base with purple glass fleck/shimmer. I also had the same issues with the formula being quite thick.

Essence: Jacob's Protection

Hello everybody. Today I have the second polish from the Essence Twilight Breaking Dawn collection. Jacob's Protection is a blackened base with a beautiful blue fleck/shimmer. On certain angles I was able to see scattered bits of rainbow goodness. That being said, the formula left something to be desired. It was very thick and goopy. I think it might benefit from a couple of drops of nail polish thinner before I wear it again. It is beautiful though. The actual shimmery glow was hard to capture on camera but I tried my best.

Essence: A Piece of Forever

Hello all my beautiful followers. Today I have the first of four polishes from Essence's Twilight: Breaking Dawn Collection. I am a die-hard Twilight fan. There! I said it...don't judge me. I picked this up in Ulta a few months ago but have just gotten to swatching it now. My untrieds stash is getting a little bit out of control...(blushing shamefully with just a bit of pride)

A Piece of Forever is a warm golden metallic polish. It came off a bit brush-strokey but not enough to make me hate it. The formula was really good. It was opaque in only 2 coats. Now let me say something about the brush. I love the wide brushes that are becoming the norm in newer polishes. The brush in these polishes were so wide it was a little hard to work with. Other than that I have nothing bad to say.
