'Apple Cider'

Hello again!

Today I have a polish that I actually featured last year,

but it's so lovely that I had to feature it again this year :D

This is 'Apple Cider' from the formerly known PopCultureCosmetics

(now known as Neverland Lacquers) over 2 coats of Zoya's 'Flynn'.

I just adore this polish.

It's a bronze-y base with all sizes/shapes of gold & red glitter.

Over the (sorry, but) 'poop-brown color of 'Flynn'... it's actually super gorgeous.

ESPECIALLY in the sunlight!

This polish just screams Fall to me,

and I couldn't have been happier to whip it back out again :)

Easter polishes!

HAPPY EASTER!

Today is the day the Lord has made :)

I will rejoice and be glad in it!

Praise God for such a wonderful day today.

Also, I have some exciting and adorable Easter polishes for you!

Both from Pop Culture Cosmetics!

This is 'Bunny Trail' over Essie's 'To bUy or Not to Buy'

Secondly, 'Easter Dress' over Sinful Colors' !

Pop Culture Cosmetics- 'Happy Daisy'

My second PCC polish is this happy, festive top coat.

Here's 2 coats of 'Happy Daisy' over 

2 coats of Sinful Colors' 'Unicorn'.

'Happy Daisy' is a clear top coat filled with all sizes of yellow

and white hexes. There are a couple white daisy glitters in there,

but their super hard to get to, even with a toothpick :/

Despite that, this is such a happy, lighthearted mani that I don't even care

if the daisies come out or not-

the combo is still adorable!

What do you think?

Pop Culture Cosmetics 'Smart & Sassy'

I haven't had a Pop Culture Cosmetics polish in awhile,

but when I saw their new Spring/Easter polishes-

I had to have some.

Here's the first of several,

'Smart & Sassy' over Sinful Colors' 'Cotton Candy'

'Smart & Sassy' is a light pink jelly filled with large blue stars,

Large blue, neon yellow, and pink hexes, small & square iridescent glitter,

and yellow, blue, & pink micro-glitter.

I was quite pleased with this polish?

It's super adorable and great for Spring :)

PCC- 'Winter Wonderland'

Even though Spring is right around the corner for us in TN,

I know lots of states are still dealing with tons of snow.

Here's the last of my Pop Culture Cosmetics winter polishes :)

This is 2 coats of 'Winter Wonderland' over Zoya's Phoebe

'Winter Wonderland' is a clear base with tons of iridescent micro glitter,

small, medium, and large white circle glitter, and large white snowflakes.

I really like it over the blue base.

It makes it look more wintery or something :)

Enchanted Forest

I have another truly lovely polish from Pop Culture Cosmetics for ya'll today.

Being that we got some snow last night,

I figured now was a good time to post it!

Here's 2 coats of 'Enchanted Forest' over 

2 coats of Zoya's 'Gaia' on 3 fingers & Zoya's 'Miley' on my ring finger.

'Enchanted Forest' is a  pearl white polish filled with iridescent shimmer

and small and medium iridescent circle & hex glitter.

It's really delicate and beautiful :)

Especially over 'Gaia'; I like it much better over that than 'Miley'.

What do you guys think about this polish?

Did you get any snow?

PCC- 'Silent Night' & 'Holly Jolly'

Alright,

i've got to double up on posts/polishes here because 

I have too much to post before Christmas day haha.

Today, both are from Pop Culture Cosmetics!

First up, 'Silent Night' over Sinful Colors' 'Rain Storm'.

'Silent Night' is a dark blue crelly with all white/holo glitter: micro, medium squares and hexes, large circles, several large half moons, and large snowflakes & stars.

LOVE this polish!

The glitter types really make it, in my opinion.

I love it over 'Rain Storm', too.

(You gotta dig for the stars and snowflakes, though)

Next up, 3 coats of 'Holly  Jolly'-

'Holly Jolly' is a mint-green base filled with green & red glitter.

This reminds me faintly of Lush Lacquer's (currently Polish Me Silly)

'Frosty', but with a green base.

Either way, it's a cute Christmas polish!

One note, though, it does get a little gloopy after a few uses.

PCC- 'Sleigh Bells'

I've got another uber cute & unique Christmas top coat for you today

from, guess who!, Pop Culture Cosmetics :)

Here's 'Sleigh Bells' over 2 coats of Sinful Colors' 'In the Mist'.

'Sleigh Bells' is a clear base with tons of fun glitter: sparse green & red micro glitter,

medium red, green, and silver holo circles, small white circle glitter, large red, green, and

silver holo circle glitter, large white snowflakes, AND large green, red, and silver holo bells!

Hence the name ;P

SO. CUTE.

I love that this polish has glitter i've never seen in a polish before.

The addition of the snowflakes is super cute, too.

Pop Culture Cosmetics- 'Jack Frost'

If you're not aware of my love affair with Pop Culture Cosmetics,

then you really need to get with the program :P

This is my current favorite indie polish maker,

and possibly my favorite ever.

The polishes are always unique and great quality.

Recently I ordered several from PCC that are winter/Christmas themed,

and here is the first of them:

'Jack Frost'.

'Jack Frost' is a clear base with blue and white micro glitter (some holo),

small light blue hexes, and large white snowflakes... which is the best part :)

Here it is pictured over Revlon's 'Dream' on 3 fingers

and Sinful Colors' 'Rain' on my ring finger.

I really don't like it against the dark blue,

but I think it looks mighty fine against the light blue :)
