GlitterDaze 4th Birthday Gift Set Swatches & Review

Good day to you fair dear! Let's hope this week is better than the last one. At least in my case, haha! Today I have the gift set from GlitterDaze for the 4th Birthday of their brand to show you! This set includes two holographic nail polishes, a cuticle balm, and a hand fizzy.

GlitterDaze Birthday Kisses is inspired by the Pantone 2016 Color of the Year, Rose Quartz. It's a warm light pink linear holographic shade with shifting iridescent blue glass fleck shimmers. Thin consistency but easy to apply. Two coats for opacity.

GlitterDaze Make A Wish is inspired by the other Pantone 2016 Color of the Year, Serenity. It's a medium periwinkle linear holographic with color shifting iridescent pink shimmer. Same formula as Birthday Kisses, this is two coats.

The cuticle balm included is unscented, which is a bummer for me. I would've love a cake batter scented balm! But it works well and you get a nice amount for a "sample" size. It's stiff but melts into the skin quickly and give nice moisture without being greasy.

The hand fizzy is scented, yay, with a lovely birthday cake scent! I love the little sprinkles and the heart shape! It is a bit on the crumbly side, but not extremely so. If you don't know, this is a type of "manicure bomb" used for adding to warm water and soaking your hands in as a moisture treatment. This worked well in terms of fizzing and moisturization, a nice treat for your hands or feet!

This box is available now on the GlitterDaze website for $24 or you can purchase the individual polishes for $12 each. Let me know what you think about this box! Are you interested in picking it up? Can you believe this is their 4th year of making polish? My how time flies!

KBShimmer Men Are From Mars-ala Swatch & Review

What's going on friends? This will be my last post of the year, can you believe it?! It's been a good one, I've definitely gotten my steam back for blogging and won't be slowing down any time soon. Today I have another take on the Pantone 2015 Color of the Year, Marsala, from one of my favorite indie brands KBShimmer.

Press Sample

This polish is called Men Are From Mars-ala, an earthy red brown wine shade with a linear holographic finish. This applies like butter and is nice and opaque. I used two coats here. I think this is very flattering with my skin tone. I'm starting to come around to this shade, thanks to this awesome polish.

Men Are From Mars-ala will be available Jan 1, 2015 for $8.75 from KBShimmer.com. International shipping available from Harlow and Co. What do you think of this take on the Pantone 2015 Color of the Year? I have to say, I like this polish a lot better than the last Marsala color I showed you ;)

Cheers kids! See ya next year ;)

Sparitual Fall in Love Swatch & Review

So by now you must've heard that the Pantone color of the year for 2015 was just announced to be Marsala, an brownish earthy wine red. Salon brand polish Sparitual just came out with a marsala-esque shimmery shade so I wanted to show it off to you today.

Our Fall In Love lacquer was inspired by @PANTONE's gorgeous #ColorOfTheYear, Marsala!

Fall in Love is an almost metallic type of shimmer, it's very fall leaves-like. Makes me think of rich sun baked apple cider, red/brown with a sheath of gold. It's a tad thick and I was afraid it might end up brush-strokey but glad to see it smoothed down easily. This is two coats.

You can purchase Sparitual lacquers on their website and in stores like Ulta for $12 per bottle. What do you think of the Pantone color for the upcoming year? I'm not 100% sold on it, but I might warm up to it when fall rolls around.

See ya soon!
