Glam Polish - Mars Attack

Hi girls,
Today I have my last blog post of the year to share with you and it's another Glam Polish beauty. I can't believe 2013 is nearly over, it's just so surreal. It also marks one year since I joined the nail art community which is pretty crazy! 

Mars Attack, matte turquoise, peach, watermelon & yellow with neon pink green & blue glitter in a mint base.

This is 3 coats topcoat, application was pretty good but the butterflies were a nightmare to try to get out! The polish also dried a little lumpy and uneven, but the top coat smoothed it all out anyway.
Mars Attack is currently on sale, as well as a couple of other polishes. Don't forget to check them out by clicking here

Wow, pretty boring last post hey. In 2014, hopefully I'll be better at swatching, taking pictures and blogging about polishes. I think I need to work on those three things as well as my nail art skills. 2013 has been a great year for me, I joined the nail art community, made many friends, started my own blog, started a indie polish line, won competitions and lastly, had fun while doing what I love! Thankyou all so much :)

Glam Polish - Christmas In Whoville

Hi girls,
Today I have another Glam Polish to show you, I actually wasn't going to post this yesterday or today BUT then I realized it's the one and only Christmas polish I purchased this year! 

Christmas In Whoville has mixture of silver, pink, green and blue glitter in a baby blue base
Here is three coats with topcoat although it was opaque in two. Application was really good but I did a little fishing for the stars which is often the case for unique shaped glitter. There's nothing really to complain about here haha
Glam Polish doesn't actually have this is the bigger bottles and I'm pretty sure you can't buy it because I got it free with my order but feel free to look at all of Rachel's creations by clicking here

I would also like to say Merry Christmas! It's Boxing Day here in Australia already but I didn't get a chance to post yesterday as I was SO busy with family lunch and dinner. I hope everyone has had or is having an awesome holiday. I also did these Christmas nails for the occasion, enjoy.

Review- Pretty Pots Polishes

Hi girls,
Well, I've been a very busy girl these last couple of days because I was swatching a couple of the polishes from Pretty Pots Polish new collection, due to officially release early January. First off, I want to say how well all of the polishes came packed. All in their own little box and then wrapped with the cutest tissue paper! 

First off we have Burlesque Baby, a unique mix of glitters including stars, dots and diamonds in a sheer pink jelly base.

Here is 4 coats on its on topped with GG. As you can see, the base is very sheer and you need a good couple of thick coats to cover the nail completely. You could always wear this over a base colour aswell. Application was good, I didn't do any fishing for glitters as there is so many! I really like this one.


Next is up is Katniss, a mixture of red, black, silver and white glitter aswell and tiny little bar glitter in a peachy or pastel orange base 

Here is two coats with GG topcoat, application was easy and the glitter came out so easy too! No fishing at all, which is always a bonus. Looking at the bottle, I didn't really like the polish but it looks amazing on the nails. Never judge a polish by the bottle, lol. This also reminds me if something, but for the life of me I can't think what! 

Now we have Imaginarium, a mix of blue, green, yellow and orange glitter in a milky white base
Here is three coats with GG topcoat, application was a little tricky with this one. I found it to be on the thicker side and the glitter was quite dense. I love how the yellow glitter stands out in this polish though, it's so different and eye catching! 
Second last we have Breakfast at Tiff's, a mixture of gold square glitter and silver holo sparkle in a gorgeous aqua base

Here is two coats with GG topcoat, although I probably should of just stopped with one coat. It was opaque in one, but I wanted more glitter and the second coat totally covered the first  :( I absolutely adore the colour of this one, and the glitter compliments it so well. This is one of favourites from the polishes Jalene sent me. 

Lastly, we have Queen Bee Wannabe which has a mixture of pink, purple, silver and blue glitter in a pink base 
Here is three coats with GG topcoat, application for this was perfect. Absolutely no fishing for glitter, infact the stars came out so easily. This is my favorite of the whole collection and it's not hard to see why! The base, the glitters, the quality, it's just an amazing polish and oh so girly!

Overall, all these polishes are amazing and you defiantly need them so watch out for the release in 2014, which I'm sure will be a great year for Pretty Pots Polish as their polish will be available to purchase from Beauty So Fly in the new year! I'm so happy I've been apart of Jalene, the owner and creator of Pretty Pots Polish, journey into the indie polish buisness and I will always do my best to help her out in any way I can. You can check out her store by clicking here. Although its currently closed until the new year!

Review- Glam Polish Neon Nubs

Hey girls,
Today I have another Glam Polish too show you. I really like this polish, not only because of the colour and glitter but because it was a collaboration polish with the lovely Elissa from Ten Little Nubs! Who just so happens is my favourite blogger.

Neon Nubs, neon blue hex, neon green hex & neon pink hex and stars in a light blue base.

This is two coats with two coats of GG topcoat. Application was really good, I didn't have to fish for any glitter and they just glided on perfectly. They stuck out a little but the topcoat smoothed it all out. The base is very opaque so you have to do thin coats or the glitter will go missing! - haha. I absolutely LOVE this polish, it's probably one of my favourites. 
This polish is currently in stock, and trust me, if you like the colour baby blue and neon colours then you NEED this polish. You can check out the Glam Polish store by clicking here :)

Review- Glam Polish Freak Show

Hello girls,
Today I have, yes another, polish to show you from the Brand Glam Polish. I am happy to finally be able to wear this as it has been on my indie polish wish list since it was released.

Freak Show, blue & fern dots with neon blue, neon green and fern hex glitter in a white crelly base. My base leaned towards being yellow-ish green-ish, probably because of the neon glitter. This doesn't seem to bug me that much, though.

Here is 3 coats with GG topcoat ( which I'm nearly running out of! 😥 ). Application was okay, the dots came out easily but they were quite dense and stuck together. The dots also made the polish dry uneven and bumpy, although topcoat fixes that! 

 This is currently in stock in Rachel's shop, she also released a new collection a couple days ago so don't forget to check them out too! To visit the Glam Polish store, click here.

Review: Glam Polish Frankenslime

Hi girls,
SCHOOL'S OUT, SCREAM AND SHOUTTT! Haha, so yes. Today was the last day of school and what other way to celebrate it then painting my nails with one of my new polishes from the Aussie indie brand, Glam Polish.

Frankenslime, neon green and metallic purple glitter in a green base.
Here is three coats with GG topcoat, application was just a breeze. No fishing for glitter and dried surprisingly quick. I absolutely LOVE this polish and it's so unique. Not a huge fan of green but this, oh my gosh! It's just gorgeous..
Glam Polish has some amazing polishes and if you don't have any of Rachel's polishes, you need some in your life, seriously. Check out all her polishes by clicking here. She is also selling to the US now :)

Review- Glam Polish Ticks and Tocks, sir

Hey girls,
I'm so excited to finally be able to swatch just one of the polishes I purchased from Glam Polish a couple of weeks ago. I purchased another three and Rachel added another two polishes to my order so expect to see a lot of Glam Polish on my blog in the next couple of weeks! 

Ticks & Tocks sir, has neon matte pink and matte white glitter in a purple base
Here is three coats with GG topcoat, application was alright. I did have to place the larger hex and the white rectangles but that's no big fuss. 
I actually didn't realize how bad my swatch photos actually are but this polish is so beautiful! Unfortunately this polish is discontinued and out of stock so you are no longer able to purchase it, not to fear though! Rachel has a lot of other beautiful polishes are are available to purchase here

Review- Pretty & Polished Back To The Fuchsia

Hi girls,
I have been so busy tonight doing homework I nearly forgot to post my review on yet another, Pretty and Polished thermal. I am so happy to finally post this, a link to purple thermal was number one on my wish list. I wish I had gotten one with out glitter but hey, at least I have one now.

Back To The Fuchsia is a pink to purple thermal with pink and purple glitter.
This is in the cold state which I prefer. Here is 3 coats, it applied so easily and I didn't have any problems. The larger pink hex was a little hard to get out but I prefer the polish without them anyway. 
Here's the polish in the warm state, it's such a shame the pink glitter basically becomes invisible in this colour base. I absolutely love this polish and I can see myself wearing this polish, a lot! This is available right now and you can purchase ' Back To The Fuchsia ' at http://www.shopprettyandpolished.com/
