Rivka Holografico Jenny

Hi everyone. So guess what? I'm sick. =( Sooooo sick. I have been for the last several days and I still am uggggh. I've been trying to get some rest and drink some meds but nope, still sick. I didn't want to go TOO long without posting so here is a very special polish I recently received from an absolutely wonderful friend from Brazil.


Oh man, she is sooooo pretty <3

This is one of my most favorite charcoal grey holographic polishes ever! I really love it. I hope I get over this soon because it's no fun to be feeling all out of sorts lately. Hopefully it'll get better ASAP! I'm supposed to go to Palm Springs with friends in a couple days! >_<  Lol, crossing my fingers for the best here. Thanks for reading you guys!

Hello hello! Bet you thought I wouldn't be back so quick, did yah?? Hahaha, I had to make up for missing those days of non blogging somehow! Today I have a polish from Diamond Cosmetics that I believe nail polish lovers are pretty well aware of. It's the popular Chainmail Charm that was previously sold out due to formulation issues. I think it had to do with their supply of holographic pigment but apparently they claim that the "original" formula is back. So upon hearing this and considering that I was not yet a lacquer lover when the original did come out, I of course had to order it. Well I did and here it is! I have heard of people saying that they got duds but I don't think I got a dud? I believe this is more of a "holo light" polish as opposed to a full blown in your face holo (like say, the OMG collection from China Glaze). Lots of pics head so you guys can see for yourself...


See what I mean by "holo light?"  Still pretty of course!

The formula was actually pretty thick and goopy upon first application. I had to thin it with almost 30 drops of thinner! After some good thinning, I applied three more thin coats and also one coat of Seche Vite (which I do not think dulled the holo). From the pictures, you can tell that the polish is more holo on the nail as compared to when it's in the bottle. I have other polishes that are like this as well. If you get a bottle (of any polish for that matter) and are disappointed that it doesn't look like the holo you had anticipated, don't fret. Do some swatches before making your final judgments. This was actually true of my Nfu Oh bottles! Yes -- I did freak out at first, BUT thank the lawd it was all good after some swatches =D. I hope this helps you guys who were curious about this particular polish! Happy Thursday everyone!

Lynnderella Connect the Dots

Heeheehee... I know I've been MIA for a little bit but that's only because I've had really important things to take care of. I think you will forgive me when I feature today's polish of the day. It's the ever-so-famous Lynnderella polishes in none other than Connect the Dots! It's one of the most unique glitter polishes I have ever owned. Lynn makes her own special blend of hand crafted polishes and sells them only once in a blue moon. I was lucky enough to catch her most recent sale and bought this baby as soon as I could get my hands on it! It's an awesome black and white hex, bar, and speckled glitter that pretty much sums up the name perfectly. This is layered over Essie's Master Plan which I have featured previously in this post and this post.










Umm, could this polish *BE* anymore perfect??? (You must say that in a Chandler voice, props if you know what I'm talking about =P). I am in love with this polish! I can't wait to try on the other polishes I received from her most previous sale as well. I am such a fan girl of Lynnderella and her beauties! No one else comes close! =D

Different Shades of Blue: Island Girl 2019

Click here to enter my current giveaway! Click here to get your 50% off Aveyou Beauty card! You can read more about that in this post. Be sure to click on "National" to take you to the Aveyou deal!

Alright kiddies, it's time to play! I'm gonna lure you all in with my pretty polishes mwahahaha. Play with what you ask? Why, mood changing polish of course! Well... that certainly wasn't creepy at all =P. So remember how I hauled a handful of Island Girl polishes way back when? Yeah, I only featured... one... so far. But tis no longer true! Today's mani features another Island Girl polish with the most unique name in the world - 2019! (Wow, someone is in a really sarcastic mood today, huh?) I believe this is part of their permanent line (hrmm, do they even have limited edition polishes?) that is carried in all ABC Stores in Hawaii. And if I'm not mistaken, there are a few ABC Stores in Las Vegas too. Let's have a look shall we? Join me and we shall swim in the sea of this purdy polish!



It's magic!!!





So many different combinations of blues! =D




My eyes can't take enough of this!




Yes ladies & gents, she is a beauty with many faces. Many shimmery beautiful faces. As with most (all?) mood changing polishes, 2019 changes with body temperature. Sometimes, she'll be an electric teal-turquoise when she's feeling warm but she'll immediately change into a darker grey-teal when she's feeling icy cold. Do I sound crazy yet? Hahahah... As a final note, I'd like to give a huge thank you to my sink today for providing assitance with my mani. Without all that wonderful water, I would've had to do a whole lotta body temperature shifting =P.

As a reminder, don't forget to check out my swap list page! You can access it here. See if what I have to offer is on your lemming list!



It's The Posh Polish within The Posh Polish - blogger inception??? Alright, that's enough energy drinks for me today. Happy Tuesday folks!

Glitter Gradient: Essie Nice is Nice + OPI Crown Me Already

Hi guys, a few things I'd like to share before I get onto today's post:
  • Enter my giveaway by clicking here. Ends October 15th, 2011.
  • Get your 50% off Aveyou Beauty card by clicking here. Details are in this post.
  • New link! I have a swap list page that you can access here or at the top of my blog. Let's swap! ^_^
Onto today's lazy weekend post! First, some pictures...







Such sparkly goodness, no? =)


Here's an extra pic in direct sunlight for good measure




I had a mini accident involving my ring finger hence all the redness =(. But anyway, the base color was Essie Nice is Nice and the glitter gradient was done with OPI Crown Me Already. I passed on Crown Me Already so many times before I finally got it. I'm so glad I did because it's a limited edition polish! BTW, you can find it both of these at Aveyou. How's that for some incentive? =P Have a wonderful rest of your weekend everyone!
