Deck The Malls

Application:

I applied 1 easy coat followed by a quick dry top coat.

I really fell in love with this polish instantly.It applied perfectly opaque with just one coat.No staining issues or drying issues to report.This is a must have for all the green fanatics out there,even if your not into greens I know once you try this one on you will change your mind all together.

Yule Be Missing Me

Yule Be Missing Me is described as a rich purple linear holographic polish.

Application:

I applied 2 light coats followed by a quick dry top coat.

My Opinion:

This is a very beautiful yet deep shade of purple.This baby has some major bling bling effects going on.My first photo was in artificial light and looks a tad blue.I'm telling you,my camera is playing tricks on me!It really is more purple in person and a beautiful shade at that! I found nothing wrong with the formula at all,it's perfect!

Ornamentary My Dear

Description:

Ornamentary My Dear is described as a silver linear holographic polish loaded with gold flakies and micro glitter.

Application:

I applied 2 light coats followed by a quick dry top coat.

My Opinion:

Is it weird that I want to paint everything with this polish!?(Paint All The Things!!!)It's absolutely fabulous!!This shade is perfect to wear all year round.I would even wear it to a fancy dinner or interview.It applied nicely with no issues.

Menorah-ty Opinion 

Description:

Menorah-ty Opinion is described as a cobalt blue linear holo with blue and gold micro glitters and a ton of gold flakies.

Application: 

I applied 1 easy coat followed by a quick dry top coat.

My Opinion:

This polish is unique and sooooo pretty.I love everything about it!Gold and blue belong together.I'm a sucker for gold in reds,golds in blues and golds in greens. Hmmm....I wonder what a black polish with gold flakes look like?Anyway......I did not have any application or drying issues. 

Just Sleighing Around

Description:

Just Sleighing Around is described as a creamy red linear holographic polish.

Application:

I applied 1 light coat followed by a quick dry top coat.

Look Who's Stocking Now

Description:

Look Who's Stalking Now is described as a teal linear holo with gold and teal shimmer.

Application:

I applied 1 light coat followed by a quick dry top coat.

My Opinion:

Who doesn't love teal nail polish,am I right?This one is really pretty.In my sunshot it looks more of an icy blue color than teal but lets just blame that on my camera.What do you think?This polish applied with absolutely no issues.

Well....that's it!!What do you think about this collection?Any color that grabbed your eye?

LOL 

Anyhow,I have something more exciting to show you.Get ready for this.....ready?It's the 2014 Community Collection by Literary Lacquers.What is awesome about this collection is that Amy selected 8 people to design a polish of their choice and name it.The polishes are based or inspired by their favorite books.I was one of the lucky ones that Amy asked and I was absolutely stoked!!

Fallen Tributes designed my me:

(4Boys 1Mom Lacquer)

^^(Shot using flash)^^

^^(Shot in direct sunlight)^^

Description:

Fallen Tributes is described as a indigo blue linear holo packed with cooper shimmer and golden flakies.

Application:

I applied 2 light coats followed by a quick dry top coat.The formula is perfection!It applied smoothly with no issues.

Inspiration: 

This polish is inspired by The Hunger Games.I wanted my polish to represent that dome shaped electric sky and of course the fallen tributes. Every time they heard the cannon go off that meant another tribute had died.So when everyone would look up at that vortex they call a sky and see the faces of everyone that had passed,you not only see the faces but you see specks of copper looking shimmer pixels throughout the sky.Then the sky goes back to normal.Looking up at that sky can be somewhat peaceful at times but one can't forget it's a reminder of death.The sky was the only way for them to keep track of who died and who did not.I hope that makes sense I'm running low on caffeine and it's been a long week. LOL

Cupcake Polish's December Sweet Addictions Box

Hello and Welcome!

Who is getting overwhelmed by the holiday's like I am? Truthfully I can't wait till they are over with.There is just so much,and too much to get done in a short period of time,like cooking,cleaning,shopping  and did I mention cleaning?

With all of that being done,I need a stress reliever. What I call a stress reliever, is painting my nails and that my friend makes me feel so much better.It's like therapy for my soul.Today I will be sharing a box of sparkle that made me feel oh so stress free. It is the Sweet Addictions Box by Cupcake Polish!! The theme for December is Frosty the Snowman and features all exclusive holos polishes from,Cupcake Polish,Elevation Polish and Chaos & Crocodiles. This box will launch November 30th at 11am CST in Cupcake Polish's shop.This box will be available for purchase for only$30+shipping worldwide($3 shipping to US,$10 for shipping to Canada and Mexico,and $12 for shipping everywhere else).  Let me tell you,this months box is the best EVER!!!

Lets take a look at these amazing polishes below!

There's Magic In The Air by Chaos & Crocodiles

^^^Shot using flash^^^

^^Sun Shot^^

Description:

There's Magic In The Air is described as a creamy periwinkle linear holo.

Application:

I applied 2 easy coats followed by a quick dry top coat.

My Opinion:

This is the most beautiful and perfect nail polish EVER! The consistency of this beauty is so amazing.The color is so pretty and it could be a one coater if applied carefully.I have never tried this brand before and now I'm wondering what the hell have I been thinking!I don't think I can stop looking at it.....BUT I have to!!

Merry and Bright by Cupcake Polish

^^Shot using flash^^

^^Shot in direct sunlight^^

Description:

Merry and Bright is described as a warm toned red linear holo with a touch of holo red glitter and bright red glitters.

Application:

I applied 2 light coats followed by a quick dry top coat.

My Opinion:

I think this is the most beautiful shade of red.What makes this polish unique is the added holo red and bright red glitters.The bright red glitters can be mistaken for bits of pigment in certain lighting but make no mistake,they are clearly tiny pieces of glitter.There's not much of the bright red glitters,they are kind of just scattered here and there.It's truly beautiful.This polish applied onto my nails evenly and smoothly.No issues,like staining or bumpiness. 

Eye's Made of Glimmering Coal by Elevation Polish

^^Shot using flash^^

^^Shot in direct sunlight^^

Description:

Eye's Made of Glimmering Coal is described as a metallic gunmetal grey linear holo with grey and silver micro flakies.

Application:

I applied 2 light coats followed by a quick dry top coat.

My Opinion:

This polish has a very intense holo sparkle!! I mean INTENSE! It is absolutely beautiful!!It's actually almost blinding,that's how intense the sparkle is.The formula was perfect and I didn't have any issues with dry time. I'm also pretty sure you can get away with using 1 coat of this blend.No staining or dry time problems.

My thoughts on this box?Well for one,every single polish has amazing formula.Second,this box has amazing brands that never disappoint.Third,just look at those colors?How could I not fall in love with this box instantly.If you are interested in this box I have good news for you!!!It will launch November 30th at 11am CST in Cupcake Polish's shop.This box will be available for purchase for only$30+shipping worldwide($3 shipping to US,$10 for shipping to Canada and Mexico,and $12 for shipping everywhere else). Fantastic right?
