Nail Polish I Wore In Real Life Vol. 7

Hello there :) How are you doing today? I thought I'd give you an update on what I've been wearing on my nails lately! I wore all of these beautiful polishes as full manicures, for at least a day haha. I've been getting better at keeping my nails polished lately, even though I haven't posted one of these in real life posts in a while haha.

Girly Bits What Happens In Vegas...Ends Up On Snapchat is a light silvery purple linear holographic polish with added holographic microglitter bits. It’s the third annual polish in their LE Vegas series, created for Cosmoprof North America 2105. I found the formula easy to use, it applied with no issues. Three coats for full opacity. There is a little bit of a textured finish due to the microglitter so I would suggest using a thick top coat. I purchased this from the Girly Bits website for $13 CAD. This shade is unfortunately sold out, but watch her site for more polishes in this series!

China Glaze Capacity To See Beyond is from The Giver Collection that was released this Spring. I only picked up one other polish from the collection, Boundary of Memory, but I decided I had to have this one too! This is a bright turquoise blue crème. It had a really easy to work with formula and was opaque in two coats. I purchased this from HB Beauty Bar for $5.25

Morgan Taylor Holy Cow-Girl! This is a mid-tone sage green crème with light green microshimmers. This had a great formula, smooth and easy. I like this a lot, but I wish the shimmer was more pronounced to make it pop a little more. I used two coats here. This is my first Morgan Taylor polish and I really like the brush and bottle design! I'll have to pick up more. I purchased this from HB Beauty Bar for $8. 

Tell me what you've been wearing on your beautiful nails lately! Have you tried any of these three? Btw, I wanted to mention that I have a new-ish snapchat account that I'm getting more into so if you want to follow me, my username is kelliegonzo :) I post snaps of my notd's, nail mail hauls, and sneak peeks! Although getting into snapchat has made me realize how boring my life is compared to everyone else's, but I still really like it! Have a great one cookies!

Different Dimension Halloween 2015 Anomalous-Phenomenon Collection Swatches & Review

Hiiii friends! How is your October going? Mine is going swell because I have another Halloween collection to share with you today! Indie brand Different Dimension has put out a six shade collection for the season called Anomalous-Phenomenon, which means "that which is not sufficiently explained by science or inferred knowledge". This collection is "dedicated to those who are always on the hunt for the unknown," which totally describes me! I am a firm believer in science and logic, but there's always more we don't know about the universe, amirite??

Press Sample

EMF (which stands for electromagnetic field) is a dark red jelly polish with holographic microglitter. The jelly mostly overtakes the glitter and gives us a deep look with some sparkly bits popping out, a red galaxy! This was on the thicker side but I found it a bit runny too. I would take care not to get too much on your brush and use thin coats. I used three.

Chasing Shadows is a dark violet jelly polish with holographic microglitter. This had a thinner formula than EMF, but was still a little runny. I only needed two coats on this one.

Static Vision is a forest green jelly with holographic microglitter. This has a similar formula to EMF, thicker but a bit runny. This would be a great Halloween or Christmas polish in my opinion, love it! Three coats.

EVP (which stands for electronic voice phenomena) is a black jelly polish with holographic microglitter. This one was more thin and also a bit runny. It only required two coats for opacity though. I think this one dried a little grittier than the other, but one coat of top coat covered any texture completely.

Knock Once For Yes is a burnt orange (pumpkin spice!) with holographic microglitters. This one seemed the creamiest out of all the microglitters, maybe more of a crelly than a jelly base. Opaque on two coats.

Full Spectral is a white crelly polish with different sizes of hex and dot glitters in black, neon yellow, purple, orange, and green. I found the formula on this to be pretty easy going and typical of a glitter-full crelly, kinda sheer on the first coat but built up nicely in three thin coats.

These are being released tonight, Friday, October 2nd at 9pm EST on the Different Dimension website. The microglitters are priced at $8.75 each while the crelly Full Spectral will be specially priced at $5! How do you like these spooky shades?? I'm in love with them all, but the red and orange are my favorites!

ALIQUID Lacquer Adopt A Shelter Dog Charity Polish Swatch & Review

Happy October my cookies! This year has totally flown by, I don't know where it has gone! I have a special polish from indie brand ALIQUID Lacquer to show you today, a charity polish that benefits the ASPCA for Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! Below is the press release for the polish they created called See Spot Run.

Press Sample

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! This limited edition polish will only be available in October. We will donate $5 from each purchase to the ASPCA! Each order will also include a free magnet featuring our dog Trudy's pawprint (it's the perfect size for your Helmer drawer!). We're aiming to collect $500, but we can only do it with your help!

About 3.9 million dogs enter U.S. shelters every year, and 1.2 million dogs are euthanized (800,000 of them pit bulls and pit bull mixes like Trudy). Adopt a Shelter Dog Month seeks to call attention to the plight of these animals and to encourage people to adopt dogs rather than going to a breeder.

The vision of the ASPCA is "a humane community in which all animals are treated with respect and kindness." Donations to the ASPCA support a variety of causes, including:

• Grants to shelters nationwide
• Spay/neuter and microchipping programs
• Adoption, fostering and relocation programs
• Investigation and seizure of abused animals
• Lobbying for anti-cruelty legislation

See Spot Run has a sapphire blue jelly base with a mix of circle and hex glitters in pink, purple, red, blue and silver with silver holographic microglitter and aqua sparks. This was a little bit sheer due to the jelly-ness, so I built it up in three coats. I love the complex look of the glitters through the base, it reminds me of a pond with flowers peeking out from the depths!

This polish will only be available in the month of October from ALIQUID Lacquer's website. You can purchase it for $11 and $5 of that will go to the ASPCA! I love dogs, and all of my animals have been rescued from shelters, so this cause is near and dear to my heart. Since I received this polish for review, I have donated the $5 that would've been given to the ASPCA had I purchased this.

This is a lovely polish and it is supporting a fabulous cause, so help them beautiful puppies and kitties today and adopt or donate or purchase this polish! Love ya!
