KLARE Polish Review and Swatch Fest

Say hello to KLARE NEW YORK Polish! I was introduced to this new indie polish brand the other day and I am so glad that I get to share it with all of you. :) Honestly, by the look of KLARE Polish's bottles and website, you wouldn't think that they were an indie polish! Everything is just so spiffy. Keep reading for my swatches and thoughts on these beautiful colors!

Words cannot express how beautiful and sparkly this gold polish is but pictures might be able to. ;) Keep reading to view even more photos. 

How Majestic by First Loved Designs

Hey there! It’s time to get back to swatching some pretty indie polishes but of course that doesn’t mean you can’t add nail art to your swatch. ;) Let’s take a look at First LovedDesigns’ new collection called Summer Love. Here is a sneak peak of the nail art I did with How Majestic. :D

Happy Fourth of July! {2014}

Yellow, Is It Me You Lookin' For? by Jolie Polish?

Why hello there my friendly yellow! I was sent the Taste the Crelly collection from Jolie Polish a couple of weeks ago but haven't gotten to actually posting my swatches until today. >.< I decided to highlight each polish with its own post just because I want to do more than just swatches with these awesome crellies -- I just have to add nail art. :) 

So today I have for you Yellow, Is It Me You Lookin' For? plus some nail art :)

Zion By First Loved Designs

Eeeeep! Do you guys remember my swatch on Friday of Love Is War by First Loved Designs? I promised you all that I had a second polish from Lisa's collection that will be released this March and I decided it was finally time to show this beauty off.

 

This sparkly little thing is called Zion by First Loved Designs. <3 I am warning you; my swatches literally don't compare to the real thing. I am terrible at capturing silver holographic glitter on my nail plus the fact that the sun hasn't shone for the past 2 weeks doesn't help. So, please remember that this macro is an extremely accurate photo of this polish on your nail! I swear on my entire polish collection.

Love Is War by First Loved Designs

Hey everyone! Today I have a quick swatch of Love Is War by First Loved Designs. :) This is a new polish from Lisa's collection that will be released in March. I have one other polish from this spring collection but both of these polishes are so pretty that they deserve their own post. ;) (Plus I didn't have enough time to swatch the other polish so it all works out haha!) Keep reading for more pictures.

Heart Collection by Jolie Polish

Hey everyone! I am going to warn you... today's post is super lengthy but it's only long because I have so many awesome crelly polishes to show you all from one of my favorite indie makers. :) Say hello to the Heart Collection by Jolie Polish. You can take a quick look to see what kind of polishes you will see in this set and please keep reading if you're interested in swatches! ;) (And ahem.... bows....)

 

Heart Collection by Jolie Polish

I stinking love taking 'macros' of polishes now! ;D

Evolution by Color Club

 

 Hurray for another Color Club polish! :D Today I have for you all yet another Color Club polish that deserved a swatch for you all. But along with this Color Club, I decided to pair it with a oober gorgeous glitter bomb by Jolie Polish that you're going to have to keep reading to view. ;)

Evolution by Color Club

Why yes, I did go out in the snow to take this bottle shot. ;) This dead plant was just calling for a pop of blue!

And here is what 2 coats of Color Club Evolution looks like on your nails. :) I did not bother to add a topcoat because I knew I was going to add glitter to it. It's not as shiny as In Theory but this formula was a bit more crème-y than In Theory (which was more jelly-like). This blue is a definite must have for any collection though! So if you're interested in checking out the new glitter bomb by Jolie Polish, keep reading. :)

Black Label Nails Swatch

Hello, hello my friends! I finally have some time to post swatches of a fairly new indie brand called Black Label Nails by Jenn. I was given some minis of these polishes to swatch :) Take a look below at the bottle pictures and keep reading if you see anything that you fancy (or just to see how my nails looked on Sunday.. that works too xD).

Holiday Line by First Loved Designs

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving! :D (I almost said Christmas because as you can guess, I will be swatching some Christmas themed nail polishes for you today. xD) It's time I get back to some swatching so I have for you today a couple polishes from First Loved Designs by Lisa! I recently found my mom's camera (ahem.. yes.. I may be "stealing" this camera soon too ;)) so I was just playing with all this awesomeness and I am like wooooah by it's camera quality! I hope you guys notice the definite improvement my picture quality is and hope you like it. So, without further ado, let's start swatching!

Today I have for you a quick review on some polishes based on the classic Disney princesses designed by Jeannette of Glitter City Polish. I can't wait to show you my favorites but take a look below for a quick bottle view. Can you guess what princesses inspired what bottle without me telling you? ;)

You're Such A Square by Hit Polish

First of all.. bahahahaha. This name is the cutest ever! Second, I've never had a rainbow glitter polish so this makes me so extremely happy! ;D Take a look at You're Such A Square by Hit Polish Nail Lacquer. I am so lucky that I got it while it was still in stock! I just looked at Hit Polish's Etsy Store and it looks like it's no longer sold. :O Rachel, the creator of Hit Polish, does have the option of "Bring Back A Discontinued Polish" option though so I think that means she'd be willing to create this polish if you REAAAAAAALLY wanted to buy it. :) 

Hehe.. these square glitters make me so happy.. :)

Hinata by Jolie Polish

Happy Sunday Swatch my friends! :D After my last post of some Jolie Polishes, I was really feeling it for Hinata, one of the jelly polishes from the Naruto Collection. My first swatch of it was when my nails were really, really short so I decided to try it on again because I adore jelly based polishes. xD So let's take a look at my new and improved swatch of Hinata. :)

 

Mermaid Collection by Jolie Polish

Hey everyone! I finally have the Mermaid Collection by Jolie Polish to share with you today! I've had these swatches done for a week but once again I've just been so busy -- But hey, hey, hey! Let's get started with some lovely macros from Bory before we move on to the swatches. ;)

From left to right: The Heartbreaking Mermaid, Mermaid' Tail, and The Rockin' Mermaid.

Spellbound by Candied Lustre

Guys.. I actually love when it's overcast outside.. why? Well, probably because it looks like it's going to rain and because lightning is pretty must consistent all day! Hence -- the reasons why my photos always look the best with this awesome lighting! So with this awesome light, let's take a look at my first Limited Edition (LE) Halloween Polish that my friend Alix, @teoqeg on Instagram, sent me just because she's amazing like that. <3 Say hello to Spellbound by Candied Lustre. I admit this isn't something I would wear alone often but you have to admit the stars are super cute. ;) Plus, can you guys keep a secret.....? Sooooo Spellbound glows too. It looks legit. Keep reading to see the splatter paint looking glow! ;D

 

Naruto Collection by Jolie Polish (Part 2)

Hey everyone! Happy Swatch Sunday! :D Today I have for you the promised Part 2 to Jolie Polish's Naruto Collection :) I decided to do 2 parts to the Naruto Collection because there are 2 types of polishes -- Part 1 was the glitter bomb polishes which I posted a couple days ago and now I have Part 2, the jelly polishes. Looking at the 'preview macro shots', it looks really sad that I have a whole separate post for only 2 jelly polishes. xD I probably should have done the entire collection in one post but yeah know what, I'll just include more pictures of my favorite polish in this ENTIRE COLLECTION. ;D So without further ado, let's see the swatches!
