LynB Designs It's Inconceivable

OhmyGawd!!!!! Squeeeee is just about all I could manage when my eyeballs came across this beauty on my fingertips!!!! I'm talking about LynB Designs It's Inconceivable from The Princess Bride collection. This polish is fantastically amazeballs! It's Inconceivable is a glitter BOMB jammed packed with small multi-colored metallic glitters. I mean, words escape me when I try to describe how this polish makes me feel. Take a look...
 How beautiful is this? I used 2 coats and got this level of opacity and it dried pretty smooth too. I did use a top coat to seal it all in.

 
I purchased this polish from LynB Designs on etsy. I must say this Indie brand is easily one of my favorites.

What I found in the $1 Bin at Target

My sister in I were in Target a while back doing some Christmas shopping and I stumbled upon this as we walked in the store. 

It has no name or brand...as you can see it simply says NAIL POLISH on its label (how original...)
My sister was aghast that I would even consider looking at them but I saw this beautiful teal/green metallic. I had to give it a try. I mean, come on it's only $1. The formula was a bit sheer at first but it built up nicely without any issues. I was pleasantly surprised.  The color is a bit more teal IRL. This is 4 coats with topcoat.

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.

LA Colors: Current

A Nor'easter...Really, Mother Nature?!!! I think we need a little break here on the east coast. We got 10 inches of snowyesterday & last night. Yuck! I hate the snow, yet I live in New England...go figure.
Today I have a lime green for you...not very fall like, I know. But I like it so here it is. LA Colors Current is from the Color Craze collection. Its a frosty metallic lime green. I usually don't get along with frosty finishes but this one kind of grew on me. It used 3 coats and top coat. The formula was good & I didn't have any issues with brushstrokes.




Please excuse the coloring of my hands and my dry cuticles. I had to adjust the photos to get them more color accurate.

China Glaze Awaken

Hello readers. TGIF!!!!!!! I just worked 8 days straight and am so relieved to finally have a day off tomorrow. So of course with that said, we are getting rain all weekend. Gotta love New England -_-
So for grey skies, I have grey nails...or are they more like pewter? This is China Glaze Awaken.
 
Awaken is a gunmetal grey metallic polish that is a dream. This polish is so opaque you can get away with one coat. I used two because I am a two coat kind of girl. The formula was pure awesomeness! It pretty much stayed put...no issues here. China Glaze did a great job with this one. I'm pretty sure it would be great for stamping.

WnW Sage In The City

Hi!!! Happy Thursday everyone. Today I have Wet & Wild Fast Dry Sage In The City. It's a sage green that reminds me of the color of new grass...or like the color of a lime. It has a metallic finish and wasn't too brushstrokey (yes, I make my own words...lol)  First let me say that these polishes don't dry any faster than regular polish. Why it says Fast Dry is beyond me. The formula was pretty good. It glided on my nail with no problems. I thought it might have drag issues since it didn't dry too fast but I didn't. I used 2 coats with a coat of Seche Vite.



 
 
Later on I added OPI Save Me to my ring and thumb nails.
