ILNP Ultra Metallic Flakies Swatches & Review

Hi friends! I have two beautiful polishes to share with you today. I bought these from boutique indie brand ILNP a while ago and couldn't keep them from my readers any longer haha.

Juliette is a rose gold ultra metallic flakie with a holographic effect. This is incredibly stunning and I pretty much want to wear it every day. This went on my nails like magic, nice buttery magic. Opaque in two coats. I love that these types of flakie finishes don't require extra top coat to make them smooth like some glitters, just one. :)

Bulletproof Symphony is a medium blue periwinkle ultra metallic flakie with a holographic effect. Reminds me of a pair of jeans, but some really awesome, holographic blingy jeans haha. Applied super easily with full coverage in two coats!

I purchased both of these polishes on the ILNP website for $10 each. What do you think about these?? I wanted to tell you all about how much you all mean to me. All your support, even just coming by to check out my photos, really keeps me going. You're the best!

The Holo Hookup July 2016 Box Swatches & Review

Hi there! Today I have a new edition of The Holo Hookup to show you! July's box is themed for the Great Barrier Reef, so summery. :) In addition to permanent indie brand contributors Cupcake Polish, Different Dimension, and Glisten & Glow, we have Australian indie brand Emily de Molly joining in as the guest this month.

Cupcake Polish Queen Anthias is a grape bubblegum purple linear holographic with subtle pink shimmers and a slightly metallic finish. I realize that most holographics are "metallic-y" in nature, but this one seemed just a tad more so. This was a bit goopy at first for me, but upon a good shaking, it applied well. This is two coats.

Different Dimension P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney is a cobalt blue linear holographic with gold galaxy glitters. This went on really great, and I got full coverage on one coat. Two coats deepens the color though, as seen here. The glitters are really plentiful, but sink in the bottle. I got a good amount out because I left my bottle upside down for about an hour before I put it on. I love this!

Glisten & Glow Great Barrier Reef Plate Corals is a burnt orange linear holographic jelly with added gold shimmers. This was on the thinner side due to the jelly formula, but applied nice and evenly. This is three coats but you may get away with two. I wasn't sure if I would like this on the nail, but I am in love with how the gold makes the base color so fiery!

Emily de Molly Warm Seas Rising is a light teal with bronze to gold multichrome flakies. This applied fabulously, very smooth and opaque in two coats. I love the flakies in this, reminds me of fish swimming in the ocean, which is probably the point haha. ;)

This box goes up for pre-sale on June 21st at 9pm EST through June 28th at 9pm EST on The Holo Hookup website. It sells for $40 plus shipping, available domestically and internationally. The ship date would normally be July 12, but they are moving the ship date to July 15 to accommodate the addition of the international guest. What do you think of these gorgeous sea inspired shades?

Fair Maiden Polish Color4Nails Exclusive Duo Swatches & Review

Hello my fine friends! I have two new shades from Fair Maiden Polish that were made as exclusives for online nail polish shop Color4Nails to show you today!

Press Sample

Antique Charm is a light steely sage green with a holographic effect, a slight blue-gold flash, and gold holo microglitters. I didn't realize this was a holo until I put it on and then it became really fiery out in the sun, it seems more like a shimmer in the bottle so that was a cool surprise. It seemed sheer on the first coat, but built up on itself to opacity in three. This is really beautiful.

Vintage Romance is a rusty medium pink holographic with a hint of peach. It also has a subtle shifting sparkle throughout, making it softer than a straight holo. This applied really well and was opaque in two coats.

This duo will go on sale on the Color4Nails website on Sunday, June 12th for $12 each. There are a lot of codes floating around that'll give you 10% off so you just need to do a quick search to find one if you want to save a little moola. Let me know what you think of these pretties! Both of the soft classical shades reminds me of romantic renaissance paintings and fabrics, tres elegant.
