From the Vault- 'Anita' & 'American Pie'

Happy Wednesday, guys!

I have two throwback polishes from last year for you guys.

Here is Darling Diva Polish's 'Anita' (2 coats)

over Essie's 'Blue Rhapsody', with Milani's Red FX & Pure Ice's 'Strapless' as accent nails.

'Anita' is from DDP last year, and is a clear base with holo microglitter, tiny holo hexes, and medium red, white, & blue hexes. 

You can tell the Milani somehow missed my eye & got totally clumped and gross.

I was super pleased with the Pure ICE polish, though. Reminds me of the Pixie Dust polishes that are big now :)

'Anita' is a nice little topcoat, though a little gloopy.

Still love it over the Essie though.

Next up,

Candy Lacquer's 'American Pie' from last year over Sinful Colors' 'Sugar Rush':

'American Pie' is a clear base with red & white microglitter, medium red, white, & blue hexes, and white & blue bar glitter.

I can't figure out why I've never tried this indie brand again,

because it goes on flawlessly!

(although, it looks an awful lot like the polish form yesterday, doesn't it?)

Welp,

closing the vault back for now.

STAY TUNED for my July 4th makeup in tomorrow's post!

:D

DDP- 'Home of the Brave'

Time for my first July 4th post!

I should have started them at least a week ago,

 but oh well.

Today's post is my newest indie polish purchase-

'Home of the Brave' from Darling Diva Polish!

Pictured here is 2 coats of Sinful Colors' 'Sugar Rush' & CG's 'Icicle' as accent.

'Home of the Brave' is a clear base filled with white, red, blue, & silver holo microglitter, medium red, white, & blue hex glitter, white and blue bar glitter, large white hexes, large blue and red stars, and large white hearts.

This baby is jam packed with tons of different glitters!

I loveeeee it :)

'Just Lust'

Okay guys, i've got my very last Valentine's Day post for you.

I got almost all of them in before Thursday,  but not quite.

I'm sick of pink & red stuff, though, so i'm just ending it with this post :p

I'm ready for the pastels of Easter & Spring!

Anyway, here's 4 coats of All That Glitters' 'Just Lust'.

'Just Lust' is a bright pink jelly with microglitter, medium hexagonal glitter, micro bar glitter, & shards that are all iridescent. This was part of her Valentine's Day collection.

I think this polish is definitely better over a base of something else.

I could reach opacity on it's own, but you can see that it just looks messy & jumbled.

Other than that, I liked it pretty well. I'm not usually a fan of jellies, but if you're going to buy one- ATG is definitely worth the price.

'Heart Burn'

Hey guys.

I've got a polish from All That Glitter's Valentine's Day collection for you today.

If you're a regular reader, you know ATG is one of my favorite indie brands :)

Here's 3 coats of 'Heart Burn'.

'Heart Burn' is a hot pink jelly base jam packed with different glitter. There's teeeeeeny circular white & black glitter, teeny tiny silver bar glitter, iridescent micro glitter, & jumbo sized white & black hearts. I really like how she used the bar glitter here. I usually hate bar glitter, but it's tiny & sparse enough that it compliments the polish very well :)

POLISH INFORMATION

Brand: All That Glitters

Type: Glitter Jelly

Formula: Good!

Opacity (1-5): 3

Application: Great, but you really have to dig out the hearts.

Price:  $8

Stay tuned for several more indies! :)
