Spy Princess Nails: Covenant

**Product provided for an honest review.

 



Today I have another Spy Princess Nails polish to show you called Covenant. It is also part of her Alias collection. Covenant is a green jelly base jam packed with emerald green, black, gold and silver holo glitters. Like Freelancer, this one didn't do too well on its own so I layered it over MmmmNails Nerd In Glasses which is a light grassy green. I really like how this looks. I think it is a good polish to wear for St. Patricks Day, Halloween or even regular everyday life...who needs an excuse to wear awesomeness like this on their nails??? Not me! Below is 2 coats of Covenant over Nerd In Glasses topped off with topcoat.

 

I apologize for the horrendous cuticles. The cold weather has been hell on my hands.

 

 

UYou can see the little flashes of holo in the close up.

 

I am really loving these glitters from Spy Princess Nail Lacquer found in her shop on etsy for $8.50.

Spy Princess Nails: Freelancer

*Product provided for an honest review.

 

 Yay for the Boston PD and all involved in the capture of the Boston Marathon bomber #2!!!!! May we now get some answers and have justice be served! With that being said I would like to show you a polish that was sent to me by Chrissy at Spy Princess Nails. Freelancer is from her Alias collection and she describes it as "a honeyed bronze / nude shimmer, flecked with copper and turquoise glitters of varying sizes." I couldn't describe it better myself.

 

The formula was a bit thick. At first I tried to swatch this on its own but was extremely thick and goopy so I layered 2 coats over OPI San-Tan-tonio, a warm tan nude. Success!! I threw on a layer of topcoat and was smooth as glass. Some of the glitters look like they are curling in the pics but thats just light reflection. 

 

I really like how the turquoise pops against the honey color base.

 

Spr Pincess Nails is a new to me indie brand but I have a feeling I will be frequenting her shop on etsy as her glitter blends are beautiful and unique. Will you be adding Freelancer to your collection?

 

You can find Freelancer and others at Spy Sprincess Nails on etsy for $8.50.

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.

Blue Lagoon
1 coat over Essence Jacob's Protection
1 coat of topcoat (it might benefit from the use of Gelous or multiple layers of topcoat)

 

Glitzology can be found on etsy. Stacy is always having awedsome sales. Right now she has 50% off all her polishes.

Tipsy Turvy Nails: Festivus

Hi guys! Today I have a polish that I should have shown you a long time ago but life somehow got in the way. Festivus by Tipsy Turvy Nails is a mix of blue hex and silver glitter in a clear base. It also has some silver holographic bar glitters in the mix. I believe it's part of their holiday collection. I used a coat over white and black so you can see how it looks over a light and dark base. The formula was good. The glitter payoff was pretty good as well.

 

 

You can find Tipsy Turvy Nails on etsy. You can also follow their blog, Can't Hold My Lacquer. You should check out their shop. Michelle and her sister have some great polish for sale,

Glitzology: Island of Misfit Toys

Happy Saturday everyone! I know its a late posting but I was down for the count for a few days. For some reason I have been having migraine headaches. I'm feeling better now though. Anyone else watching the Miguel Cotto fight tonight on Showtime. He is so hot! and I'm not just saying that cuz he's boricua like me :)
I got some swatching done today. A major feat for me... WOOT WOOT!!! lol
One of the polishes I swatched today is from an Indie brand called Glitzology. I ordered this a few weeks ago and I just now have been able to try it out. I must say, I am quickly becoming an Indie addict. This polish is AMAZEBALLS!!!!!!! First of all, the name brings me  back to the holiday seasons of my childhood watching the cheap claymation cartoons like Island of Misfit Toys, Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and all the rest. Island of Misfit Toys is a glitter bomb chock full of colorful delight! It has silver, red, orange, yellow, blue and green square & hex glitter as well as a black microbar glitter all swimming in a silvery shimmer base that was easily opaque in just 2 coats. It was thick but easy to work with. Take a look!

 

I used 2 coats with 2 coats of topcoat. I really love this polish. I ordered 2 others with this one and I went back to Glitzology's shop and ordered four more polishes.
You can find her shop on etsy.

Mmmm Nails Jellykisses

Happy Monday everyone! Can you believe I almost got up this morning and went to work for 6am forgetting I had the day off. Good thing I looked at my schedule. So instead of sleeping in, I'm up at 6:30 walking the dog. Sigh, what I would give to sleep until like 9am...Anyhow, today I have another Mmmm Nails polish called Jellykisses. It's a blue jelly based packed with small blue glitter and some medium sized blue hex glitter as well. I layered this City Color light gray which is a very very light gray with a hint of shimmer in it. It reminds me a little of OPI My Boyfriend Scales The Walls. The formula on Jellykisses was good. The glitter payoff was great...they usually are with jelly bases. This is 2 coats with a layer of top coat.

Mmmm Nails I Love Cake

I want to start off this post by asking you guys to pray for a family member of mine. On Monday night she lost her home and everything she owned to a fire. That has to be be one of the most devastating things to happen to anyone. Thankfully she made it out ok and her baby was not home at the time.

On to nail polish...today I have another Mmmm Nails polish to show you. It has got to be one of my most favorite glitter toppers ever. I Love Cake is a mixture of medium sized blue and yellow hex glitter, blue and yellow shard glitter, blue bar glitter and very small yellow glitter that almost passes as shimmer. I really like this one since it's not a glitter bomb you can layer it over whatever you want. I used 2 "coats" over LA Colors Lightening which is a very hot pink jelly. It photographed more orangey since my camera does not get along with neons. Do you like?

Looking at this mani makes me crave something sweet...like CAKE :)

Mmmm Nails Between The Buns

Hi everyone. I know it's late but I wanted to post today. I have a beautiful duochrome from Mmmm Nails. It's called Between The Buns. It's mainly a heavy golden shimmer with copper shift depending on the lighting. The formula on this one was a little too thick but a couple drops of nail polish thinner had this polish gliding onto my tips with ease. It was so hard to capture it's true beauty on camera. Here's what I got.

Mmmm Nails Martini Swatch & Review

Hello lovely readers. is everyone having a good Saturday? I hope so. I'm glad to hear more and more people are getting their power restored to them...now its time to fix the gas situation/shortage here on the east coast.
Today I have another polish from Mmmm Nails to show you. It's called Martini. It has a clear base with different sized green glitters and some black bar glitter as well. I didn't want to hide the black bar glitters so I layed this over a nice bright yellow shimmer called Let's Meet by Sinful Colors. I like the outcome. The formula was ok. It wasn't as thick as I thought it would be. I had to dab on the glitter or else it would wipe off with each brushstroke. I used 2 coats (dabbing method) of Martini over 2 coats of Spoiled. I did use a top coat but it was pretty smooth without it as well.

 I keep thinking of the Oakland A's when I look at this mani.

Mmmm Nails Chewy Fun Swatch & Review

Happy Halloween everyone!!!!!!

Today I have another treat from MmmmNails. I must admit, when I pulled this one out of the box I wasn't too thrilled with it. Then I put it on over black and was immediately in love. Chewy Fun is a mixture of purple, yellow, and fuschia glitter of different shapes and sizes in a clear base. In the bottle the base looks like a dingy yellow but its clear on the nail. I used the dab and swish method of applying this polish since the larger glitters tend to be harder to brush on. I needed to fish out the flower shaped glitters. This is layered over OPI Black Onyx and only needed one coat of top coat to smooth it out. All the glitters layed flat on the nail so I didn't have to worry about snagging my pantyhose :)

How beautiful is this?!!!

I am quickly becoming a huge fan of Monique's and her polish making skills.

You can find MmmmNails on etsy for only $7.99

I hope eveyone has a happy & safe Halloween.

Mmmm Nails Sugar Yum Swatch & Review

I want to thank all the well wishers who expressed their concerns for us east coasters during our Hurricane/Tropical Storm/Noreaster Hybrid storm Sandy. I faired pretty well but many did not and I want to extend my prayers to those who lost their homes or had damage to their property. Two people lost their lives here in CT due to the storm. I alson want to send a shout out to the USPS who was still out there delivering mail. I even got some nail mail! Talk about WOOHOOO!

 I recieved a package from a new to me indie polish maker. Monique from MmmmNails has a beautiful and fun polish line based on sweet confections. These polishes deliver a satisfying flavor for all those sweet tooths out there. When I opened up my package there were 10 yummies waiting for me to swatch. I grabbed 2 and immediately got to work before the power went out (it never did).

The first polish I tried was Sugar Yum. When I took this one out the box my eyes almost popped out of my head. I just knew this one would be amazing to look at on my nails. Sugar Yum is a red/orange toned coral with heavy golden fleck/shimmer. The formula was a little thick and goopy but strangely not too hard to work with. I used 3 coats with a base coat and top coat. Before adding the top coat Sugar Yum dried pretty smooth and pretty fast considering its thickness. Take a look at this beauty.

My camera had trouble capturing the golden shimmer n this beauty. I really love this polish.
