Polish 'M- 'Spring Style'

Happy Sunday Sunday!
I have a great Spring polish for you today.
I'm sure all of you have heard of Polish'M.
Today's post is my first ever polish from them,
and I was very impressed.
Here's 2 coats of 'Spring Style'.

'Spring Style' is a pastel pink base with a slight, iridescent/pastel purple shimmer to it.
Alos, you can see that it has almost every color of glitter imaginable.
These glitters come in little, medium, and large hexes, circles, and squares.
It's just perfect.

China Glaze Spring 2015 Roadtrip Collection- 'Wanderlust'

Happy Friday!
I'm going to see Flux Pavilion tonight,
and I'm beyond stoked.
It's been a couple years since I've seen him,
and I need a night out :P



Anyway,
I have another lovely polish from CG's new Spring Collection.
Here's 2 coats of 'Wanderlust':


'Wanderlust' is a pastel lilac creme with slight light orange shimmer
(you can see this very faintly in the first & second picture).
It actually reminds me faintly of 'In a Lily Bit' from their Spring collection last year,
but I like it all the same! :)

China Glaze Spring 2015 Road Trip Collection- 'Pack Lightly'

Spring is officially here in Tennessee, finally!
To celebrate, I'm breaking out the polishes I bought from China Glaze's new Spring collection.
The first of many is 'Pack Lightly'.
Here's 3 coats:



'Pack Lightly' is a pastel, orange cream colored creme polish.
It was a bit more watery than I would have liked,
but the color and finished product is lovely.
It reminds me faintly of the pastel orange Sinful Colors put out for their spring collection 2 years ago.

Colourpop Cosmetics Lippie Stix 'Easy'

So far, I've tried matte & satin hippie stix.
For today, however, I have my first glossy stix.
I don't usually do glossy/wet lipstick because I hate how easily it comes off and gets in my hair, on my fork, etc.... BUT, this was so pretty online that I had to try it.

Here's 'Easy'... and boy, is it easy on the eyes.

'Easy' is a pastel, bubblegum pink gloss.
It applied like butter,
and I think it's lovely.

It's a little bit more baby pink than I normally like,
only because on ME- I feel like it makes me look like a high schooler sometimes.
Regardless, though, this lippie is lovely & PERFECT for Spring! :)

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 :)

CG's NEW 'In a Lily Bit'

So all of you know China Glaze recently released 
a new collection for Spring 2014- City Flourish.
IT'S AMAZING.
I've bought several polishes from it,
and today is the first of those :)

Here's 3 coats of 'In a Lily Bit'.

'In a Lily Bit' is a super pastel lilac creme.
It looks almost pastel pink in some light.

POLISH INFORMATION
Brand: China Glaze
Type: Creme
Formula: Eh, it was pretty streaky :/
Opacity (1-5): 4
Application: Okay. Nothing to rave about, but it was decent.
Price: $7 for a mini
Get This: online or local beauty stores like Sally's and Ulta



I looooove this color,
but I was super disappointed in how streaky the formula was.
After 3 coats and a top coat- it evened out fine, though.

Beauty Mail ! - Sleek Candy Collection palette

I've had several successes with Sleek palettes in the past.
So when I was browsing and came across this palette the other week,
I knew I had to try it.
The colors are fun and bright-
just in time for Spring around the corner!

This is Sleek's LE Candy palette:




The mineral shadows are all matte, satin, or shimmer.
I cannot freaking wait to try these out.



Here are some swatches!



Has anyone else tried this particular palette?
Rest assured you'll see some looks with these babies soon!

Valentine's Day look

Well, along with everyone else,
I'm having a Valentine's themed post.
Though, I won't have near as many as I had last year.

Anyway, I wanted to create a flirty V-day look,
so I took to playing a bit.
This is what I came up with!




I used:
Too Faced's Shadow Insurance
UD 24/7 Eye pencil in 'Ransom' & Sleek's ' '- crease
Lime Crime's 'Pearl-ple'- highlight
Sleek's ' ' & SYN Cosmetics' 'Audacity'- inner corner of lid
SYN Cosmetics' 'Trance'- lid & waterline
Covergirl Bombshell mascara
Covergirl Line Exact eyeliner


What do you guys think?
I ended up really, really liking this look.
I actually wore it out :)
Would you wear it?

Mystic Nights 2.0

So last year, about this time, I created a look called Mystic Nights.
I really love the dark, forest-y, mysterious shades together,
so I figured I'd recreate it :)


Here's version 2.0 WITH a funky lip!

I tried to do an ombre lip with my two favorite lime crime lipsticks,
but it didn't work out too well :/
Other than that,
I freaking love this look.


I used solely UD's Vice2 palette on my lids.
Here are the specifics:
Too Faced's Shadow Insurance
'Prank' & 'Madness'- crease
'Damaged'- lid
'Prank' & 'Lovesick- outer corner of lid
'Betrayal'- waterline
Covergirl Bombshell mascara
Covergirl Line Exact eyeliner

Lime Crime 'Airborn Unicron' & 'Oh No She Didn't'- lips

Pop Culture Cosmetics- 'Candy Cauldron'

Yay! Time for Halloween indies!
Most of you know that I love Pop Culture Cosmetics,
and I've recently purchased several minis from their newest Fall/Halloween themed polishes.
(see the first one here).


Continuing on,
Here's 2 coats of 'Candy Cauldron
 over 2 coats of Sinful Colors' 'Orange Creme'.

'Candy Cauldron' is a light orange crelly filled with small, medium, and large green, pink, yellow, blue, and dark pink circle glitters, some with a touch of holo.


POLISH INFORMATION
Brand:  Pop Culture Cosmetics
Type: Crelly
Formula: Good!
Opacity (1-5): 2
Application: You're gonna have to dig for this one to get most all of the glitters out.
Price: $4 for a mini

What do you all think?
I actually really liked this, once it was all said and done.
Digging the glitters out kinda sucked,
but the end result sure is nice!
