PCC- 'Ghost Host'

While reorganizing my stash today,

I realized that I still had a Halloween mini from Pop Culture Cosmetics that I forgot to post!

Whoops :X

Here's 2 coats of 'Ghost Host' over 1 coat of DollishPolish 'Baby Gravy'.

'Ghost Host' is a milky white crelly that has all different sized and shaped glitter interspersed-

stars, circles, hexes, shards, half moons, diamonds- you name it.

I like that it's something other than the typical Halloween colors,

with neon greens, blue, holo silvers, and pink along with the 

blacks, purples, and oranges.

This polish was much thinner than the other from the same collection,

but it worked okay.

Just FYI, you def are gonna have to dig to get out most all glitters.

But it's worth it :)

'Snowglobe'

Happy Super Bowl day!

I don't know about you guys, but i'm rooting for the Ravens :))

I can't wait for the commercials, too.

Although last year there weren't many that were that funny...

Anyway, middle TN got a mini snowstorm yesterday,

so it was a perfect day for this polish!

Here's 2 coats of Kawaii Nail Lacquer's 'Snowglobe' over

 2 coats of Dollish Polish's 'A Bad Case of Blue Balls'.

I did such an atrocious paint job that it pains me to post these pics,

But I don't know when i'll have a better time to post them!

Macro!

'Snowglobe' is a clear base with silver & light blue microglitter, light blue, medium hexagonal glitter, medium silver holographic glitter, large white hexagonal glitter, & sparse white bar glitter. This is the 4th and final christmas/holiday polish I purchased from her recently.

Dollish Polish's 'Dolly DOES Polish' review (pic heavy)

Greetings, ladies!

So some of you may have seen my little 'adult' series I did recently featuring an entire collection from Dollish Polish.

There were so many polishes and posts that I figured I would now do a concise post summarizing my thoughts about the collection as a whole, in case any of you want to purchase it or any other polishes from her!

Here's the entire collection- 'Dolly DOES Polish'.

This is a set of 9 minis of a rainbow of gorgeous shimmers, each with glass flecks of assorted colors. I got the entire collection here for $40.50.

What drew me most to this collection (aside from me being a sucker for shimmer) was each polish's HILARIOUS name. In case you haven't noticed by the collection's title- they're all sexual innuendos of some kind. Right up my alley ;P

In case you missed any of my series, here's a quick pic summary of each polish.

'Slippery When Wet'

'Skeet Skeet Skeet'

'Baby Gravy'

'Dining at the Pink Taco'

I really have nothing but good things to say about these guys.

Here's what I liked:

- Arrived in the mail super fast

- Beautiful shimmers every color of the rainbow that sparkle like crazy in sunlight!

- Great consistency

- Went on SUPER, super smoothly and flawlessly

- Many were sheer, but it was very easy to build opacity

- Dried quickly

- Did not easily chip

- HILARIOUS names

What I didn't like:

- the price :/ At $40 (before tax), it has each mini selling for about $4.50. BUT- It's actually a pretty standard price for indie polish maker's minis, and totally worth it for these little beauties!

All in all, a fantastic product that I'm very glad I purchased. Go here for this collection & many other of her polishes!!

SO,

Which polish is your favorite from the series?

Let me know! :)

9 Days of my Head in the Gutter- Day 9

Alas!

We have reached the last day in my adult series! :/

The final polish in the Dolly DOES Polish collection is 'Walk of Shame'.

This is a royal purple with violet/pink glass fleck shimmer.

Here you can juuuuuuust see the hints of violet and pink. I wasn't able to get any pictures of this in the sunlight (wahh!) but you can REALLY see the pink then. 

Here i've used 2 coats, and easily reached opacity.

I'm not usually that much of a fan of deep purples on me because i think it clashes with my skin tone, BUT, i was surprised how much I totally loved this polish!

It really became a favorite.

SO, what do you guys think?

I'm going to do a review/follow up post of this whole collection here soon

ALSO,

make sure you check out my first look for the Penguin Makeup Challenge!

Let me know what you think!

9 Days of my Head in the Gutter- Day 8

Good morning, everyone!

Hope you're having a fabulous day so far.

Today is the second to last post in my little adult series.

Unfortunately, it's not one i'm that thrilled about :/

Here's 'Check Out Those Sweaterpuffs'.

*shade

*sunlight

'Check Out Those Sweaterpuffs' is a pumpkin-orange with copper glass fleck shimmer.

When I saw this online, I thought it would be much more of a brighter, happier orange than it is. Seeing it on my nails now, i'm just not a big fan. The color itself just looks funky with my skin tone, i think.

I DO think this would be a great Fall polish,

and I may use it again with a glitter topcoat or some nail art, and like it better then.

As with all Dollish Polishes, the formula is great and it went on super smooth.

Here i've used 2 coats, but I could probably have used 3 to reach opacity.

Also, this polish had much less shimmer than most of the others in the collection,

and is much more on the metallic side.

STAY TUNED,

for my 1st installment in the Penguin Makeup Challenge!!

I've got a super exciting idea for a look,

and can't wait to show you guys!

Due to this challenge, the last day of my series won't be posted until thursday.

That's it for me!

Thanks for reading :)

9 Days of my Head in the Gutter- Day 7

Helloooooo.

It's Monday.

meh.

So a slightly disappointing post today :/

I've been anxious to try this gorgeous polish i'm featuring today since I got them all in the mail,

but it turned out to be a dupe of one I already have AND

I ruined it with a topcoat that bubbled :(

I didn't really want to even post it,

but I didn't have a chance to re-paint them, humph.

Here's 'A Bad Case of Blueballs'.

This is a cobalt blue with turquoise glass fleck shimmer.

Here i've used 2 coats, and easily achieved opacity.

This is without a doubt a gorgeous blue,

but it turns out I already have something almost exactly like this- China Glaze's 'Blue Sparrow'. 

:/

THEN, the one time I figured id add the top coat and make it sparkle all the more,

my SV bubbled and made it look horrid.

Ah well. you win some and you lose some, as they say.

Regardless, this polish IS a beautiful blue,

just one that I already happened to have.

Gotta love the title, though!

Ah well. you win some and you lose some, as they say.

That's it for me! :)

9 Days of my Head in the Gutter- Day 6

Hey guys!

Sorry for missing yesterday,

I had a BIT of a crazy night last night (which is when I usually write my posts for the next day) due to a party I had,

and never quite got the chance to blog :/

Speaking of that party (which was a sex toy/lingerie buying- type party),

today's polish was chosen because of it's relation to the aforementioned.

I bring you, 'Dining at the Pink Taco'.

Here's 2 coats of Dollish Polish's 'Dining at the Pink Taco'.

It's a medium hot pink with with hot pink glass shimmer.

I feel like this polish looks the most metallic-y so far.

This polish also is the most opaque of those of the collection i've shows you thus far.

It was basically opaque in 1 coat, but I added a second for good measure.

This title is quite entertaining,

so cheers to all you ladies out there who's significant other is, er, dining, there soon!

;)

9 Days of my Head in the Gutter- Day 5

Heyyyyy

Excited about today's polish, so i'm going to jump right in!

Today is probably my favorite polish thus far in the collection.

It caught my eye when I first saw it,

and now that I've seen it on- i'm in love.

Here's 'Baby Gravy'

Here's 2 coats.

ISN'T IT AWESOME?!

Or at least, it is to me.

The sheer beauty and simplicity of this polish is what attracts me most to it.

Dollish Polish describes it as "pearl white with intense diamond glass fleck shimmer".

I truly found this polish just mesmerizing.

It's really etherial in a certain way,

and almost reminds me of moonlight on my nails.

I feel like this is the polish the elves in Lord of the Rings would wear, hahah.

I don't have any other polish like this in my collection,

it goes with anything,

and is definitely the polish i've been most excited about in awhile.

What do you guys think?

9 Days of my Head in the Gutter- Day 4

Goooooood morning!

I've got yet another installment in my little 'adult' series for you this morning.

Without further ado:

'Toss My Salad !

(lawl)

'Toss My Salad' is a lovely key lime pie green with green glass fleck,

Here i've used two coats,

but three might be best for full opacity.

This is not a color that I personally like for myself because I just think it looks weird for my skin color, but on a darker toned person i think it would look AWESOME.

As with all the polishes in this collection,

it sparkles and shimmers to the MAX.

The silky lime of this polish really is awesome.

I definitely recommend!

Thanks for reading!

9 Days of my Head in the Gutter- Day 3

Hey guys!

The week is half over,

and i couldn't be more ready for the weekend.

This morning is day 3 of my little series,

and it's quite a beauty!

Here's Dollish Polish's 'Skeet Skeet Skeet'.

'Skeet Skeet Skeet' (aside from having a hilarious title) is described as: "this bold lemon yellow with gold glass flecks will have you singing, 'From the windows... to the wall!' "

tehehe :)

When I first put on this polish, I was like wTF- this looks like urine on my nails.

I was not a huge fan at all.

THEN I got out in the morning light...

Does this not just look like molten gold!?!

I actually took these last 2 pics with my iphone, and didn't edit them a single bit.

It's mesmerizing, and so pretty.

So NOW, of course, i'm a huge fan of this polish :)

What do you guys think?

I was definitely surprised.

Thanks for reading!

9 Days of my Head in the Gutter- Day 2

Gooooood morning!

Hope you guys are having a lovely Tuesday.

I'v got the second polish in my new 'adult'  series for you today!

Here's Dollish Polish's 'Slippery When Wet'.

This is 3 coats of 'Slippery When Wet'. This is a baby blue with blue glass fleck shimmer is quite pretty! (you need to read Dollish Polish's description of it here- hilarious). This is the polish out of the whole collection I was least excited about, but once I saw it in the sunlight- it really grew on me.

You definitely do need at least 3 coats for opacity.

You can buy this (& all the others in the collection, to mention on her website) for $4.50 since it's the mini.

That's all for me.

Have a great day, guys!

9 Days of my Head in the Gutter- Day 1

Hey guys!

So i know it sucks since today is Monday,

but I hopefully just might have something that will make you smile ;)

I love a good dirty joke. I think we all have a little perverted side, and I enjoy laughing and talking about it (not in TOO dirty/creepy a way, mind you). Coincidentally, i'm having a 'sexy' party this friday night. You know, where a lady comes to your house and shows you lingerie, sex toys, etc. you can buy?

... yeah, GOOD times :)

So in honor of that, I decided to finally go ahead and purchase some polishes i've had my eyes on for awhile. They're dubbed the 'Dolly DOES Polish' collection, from Dollish Polish. It's a collection of 9 polishes that all have this shimmery, metallic-ish sheen to them. And, of course, they're all named something sexual- related.

Right up my alley! ;)

Today, for Day 1, I give you- 'Lipstick Around Your Dipstick'.

So aside from the title (heh heh, just slightttttly suggestive), this polish was one I instinctively liked. One of my favorite colors to wear is red, and this is one unlike any other reds I have. 'Lipstick Around Your Dipstick' is a "cherry red with a fushia/red glass fleck shimmer".

Many of you may know i'm a sucker for a good shimmer,

so this collection could not be more awesome.

This baby TOTALLY sparkled in the sunlight- it was amazing.

All in all, for my first one trying from the collection,

i'm really stoked to try the others.

Stay tuned!

What do you guys think?

Do any of you have this?
