Lollipop Posse: The Indie Shop LEs

Press Sample

Lollipop Posse Lacquer is going to The Indie Shop: San Antonio!
She's made three limited edition shades which will have special show pricing on October 12th at the show and then be available at regular price for a limited pre-order on the website 10/18 @ 8 PM Eastern - 10/21 @ 8 PM Eastern.
The trio is themed from Ray Bradbury’s classic “Something Wicked This Way Comes”. The shades can be considered an extension of the Halloween 2019 Collection, from which ‘Beware the Autumn People’ is similarly themed.




3 AM: Soul’s Midnight
A very lightly violet-tinted linear holographic, accented with a strong green/purple Aurora shimmer.

October 23
A vampy, berry-tinted crelly filled with purple/aqua shifting shimmer, holographic micro-flakes, and silver and copper holographic micro-glitters
October 23rd: The day before the Pandemonium Shadow Show comes to town and life is forever changed.






Something Wicked
An aqua/turquoise-tinted green crelly accented with Aurora shimmer and green/gold color-shifting micro-flakes.
“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes…” - Mr. Halloway of Ray Bradbury’s “Something Wicked This Way Comes”, quoting Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”






Each polish is shown in two coats with topcoat. The formulas for each are Lollipop's usual fantastic formula. Are you going to Indie Shop? What will you be picking up?

b.i.t.c.h. by jaclyn: Signature Collection

Press Sample

b.i.t.c.h. by jaclyn is launching her Signature Collection on December 1 at 8:00pm Central time. The collection consists of five polishes and I'll be sharing them in a specific order. See if you can figure out why and I'll reveal the answer at the end of this post!

Bold is a purple to blue duochrome with subtle holographic sparkle.






Intelligent is a metallic denim blue shade with subtle holographic sparkle.






Trendsetting is a silver chrome holo with an almost mirror-like finish. This one is very reflective so I was not able to catch the holo pigment except in the dark area of the macro shot, but it's there and it's beautiful!






Chic is a hot pink, glass flecked, holo. Quite a stunner! I wore two coats with topcoat but one heavy coat would also work well.






Haute is the star of this collection with it's super dark black base and linear holographic pigment. Take a look!






Each of these polishes can be worn in one coat, Chic will need a heavier coat than others or perhaps two coats. Each polish's formula was smooth and easy to use, although I did find Bold to be a little on the thick side so if you prefer a thinner polish just add a few drops of polish thinner to that one.

Did you make a guess as to why these polishes are shown in a certain order? The first letter of each word spells out the brand name. Nifty, eh!? Jac is also launching special packaging with this collection. Take a look!




You can snag your set of Signature Collection polishes and others on December 1 at 8:00pm Central time at http://www.bitchbyjaclyn.com/.

Nire's Desire: Yoga Trio

Press Sample

I tried yoga once and well, the polish is much more fun and pretty! :) The Yoga trio from Nire's Desire is a beautifully done shifting set in colors that everyone could love.



Pranayama's most prominent color is a very vibrant kelly green that shifts to golden green, a sort of an army green/brown and in some lights, a dark blue. It was really difficult to capture this one since it is a bit more subtle than the other two. Formula was smooth and opaque in two coats. It has a fine brushed metallic finish but with how this shifts it's not that noticeable in person.






I thought for sure that Namaste would be my favorite of the three just by the looks of it in the bottle. I'm a purple and blue junkie and this one feeds the need with its shifty ways! So mysteriously beautiful! I wore two easy coats for opacity and this one also has the brushed metallic finish with a strong shift.





Prana was saved for last because for me, it was a total surprise and I wanted to surprise you too! I can't recall the last time I reached for a red polish... It seems like at least a year, if not more. But this one. This red to purple shift has totally won me over. I'd reach for this a hundred times and still love it just as much if not more! Its super squishy looking, the shimmer gives it a depth that I don't think I've ever seen in a polish and the shift is, quite simply, amazing.





The Yoga Trio and other Nire's Desire polishes can be found at the Etsy shop and you can follow updates on her facebook page.

Zoya - Adina

Zoya's funky new Adina from the reverie collection. Its a medium shade of purple with a funky green duochrome.
I love it!

Zoya Polish - Ki

This is a new polish I received last week so my nails are a week and half old paint job. xD
I really like how this looks, but I fear its a little on the dark side for me. I Photoshopped the green color in the second photo as close to original as I could because it wouldn't pick up on my camera

Zoya - Pru

One of my freebie nail polish from Zoya, I just paid shipping. ^.^
This one is my favorite of the three, its really unusual and looks a totally different color in different lighting. In dim rooms, it looks quite brown and in well lit rooms its purple up close and more wine looking from further away. Really a difficult one to capture on film!
