Cult Nails Super Powers collection

Howdy folks! Today I am proud to present you with swatches of the newest Cult Nails collection, Super Powers! Thanks Maria, and keep on creating more pretties, you're so good at it!

First is Mind Control, a dark charcoal jelly base with an extreme amount of purple micro shimmer that does a slight color shift to gold/green. This one wasn't too exciting to me in the bottle but once I had it on and I went out in the sun, it was really fabulous! This is three coats. P.S. Mind control would definitely be my super power of choice ;) Muahahaha!

Next is Power Thief, which while maintaining that it is a lovely polish, I just can't make myself love. It has that delicious shimmer that Maria is becoming notorious for, the same silver/pink/blue glitz that is in Let Me Fly and My Kind of Cool Aid. I just am not crazy about the warm chocolate mocha color. *shrug* Oh well, I know loads of you out there will love it. Two coats.

Next is Time Traveler, which also would be an awesome power to have, if "Back to the Future" has taught me anything ;) This is the ultimate cobalt blue jelly crème. It's dark but wouldn't be mistaken for black, and glides on like butter. This is two coats.

And last we have Clairvoyant, previously known as Unicorn Puke. I layered this purple jelly filled with rainbow flakies over Time Traveler. Oh. My. FLLLLAAAAKKKKIIIIIEEESSSSS. I don't think I've ever seen a flakie polish with as many colors and shapes and sizes as this one. I have to admit, I'm a little burnt out on them since they started popping up everywhere this last year, but this one still makes me drool! I declare that Clairvoyant would make any nail polish instantly more awesome.

You can purchase these on Maria's site, www.cultnails.com for $10 each . Also, below is a picture of their design you can get printed on different types of T-shirts to show your love for the Cult!

I have to admit that I have a rather huge fear of vomit, and even I would sport that design on a shirt! Too fun.

BB Couture Sinfully Polished Collection Part 1

Freaking finally! I really can't believe I have had these polishes to myself for so long, I really need to be lashed for my tardiness in showing you all this amazing collection. I expect nothing less than fantastic from BB and this collection has no shortage of it. Sinfully Polished is the fall collection and each of the polishes are named a different "sin", from the 7 Deadly Sins get it!

First up is Gluttony (a sin I know a little bit too much about, haha) which is a purple lavender pinky crème with translucent silver glitter bits. I really adore these subtle shimmers from BB Couture, so complex! This is three coats.

Next is Envy, and yes it is green ;) A gorgeous darkened cool toned green with absolute loads of dark gold shimmer and lots of red glitter bits. This is two coats.

Greed is the next polish, a pinky brown beigey crème. I like nudes and this one is really gorgeous, very mellow. This is three coats.

Here is Sloth, which is also a cute furry tree-dwelling animal haha, and a beautiful polish. It is a warm chestnut brown with tons of gold shimmer and red glitter bits. I am LOVING the red glitter, so unexpected!

Stay tuned for the next part of this collection and the Men's half!

Random Swatches

I used to have a huge back log of swatches but I've gotten rid of most of them that I don't like or that I think I could improve on. These are what's left over from what I had. I need a camera that takes good macro photos indoors, or I just need to learn how, or I have to wait til I have the ambition to swatch during the sunlight hours. Otherwise I dislike my photos, and I won't post them. That's just the way it is I'm afraid *shrug*. Hope you don't mind.

This is Peachy Keen by Misa from the Hip to My Jive collection from this summer/fall. It's a shimmery sandy peach. It honestly doesn't look like much in the bottle but I love it on. This is two coats. I love Misa so hard.

Next is New Bohemian from Color Club's Back to Boho collection from this fall. It's blue/green turquoise "Tiffany" blue color that we've seen before but I still adore it! Perfect crème, two coats.

This is another Color Club polish from Back to Boho, Nomadic Nude. I really have a soft spot for neutrals and this putty greige is just so classic looking. This formula was a bit watery, but still covered well in three coats.

I will be trying to actively swatch in the sunlight whenever it is available from now on, so don't give up on me yet. I figure if you're still reading this, you don't mind when I post, just that I post at all eh? ...Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. ;)
