Taste the Rainbow!?

Good morning! Today's post is a rainbow of colors, with a little something extra at the end. Sometimes I will wear a polish a day before covering it with glitter, and I don't always post those photos. I've been accumulating them and thought I'd post them all together linked with the glitter post for reference. Enjoy!

The first three were worn with Monster Polish's Bomb polishes.

Sinful Colors Cloud 9 under Firebomb


Wet N Wild Black Creme under Holobomb


Wet N Wild Fergie Miami Spirit under Aquabomb


China Glaze Frosty worn under Different Dimension Sparkles Like Edward


LA Colors Wired worn underneath Whimsical Ideas by Pam Moon Over Miami



Sinful Colors Bleeding Heart underneath Different Dimension I'll Wait Up For You Dear


Pure Ice Femme Fatale (top coat on accent) underneath Different Dimension Santa Baby


LA Colors Magnetic Force underneath RHobby SoCal Sunset


Love and Beauty Royal underneath RHobby Waterfall


Naturistics Celebrity underneath Vivid Lacquer Your Princess is in Another Castle

I also recently met up with Kristin, whom I met online a little over a year ago. Our meet up was at Cheesecake Factory. We both brought polish with us that the other didn't own, so we could see some rares in person that we may not see otherwise. It was an awesome visit, I got to meet her two super sweet kiddos, and our server was the best. We took a few photos but this one includes both of our stuff, her polishes and my nail wheels, so I thought I'd share it!

You can see we were both swatching each other's polish as well! My tape and notebook at the back of the table, and hers there in the front left corner. ;)

I hope you've enjoyed this entry!

Rhobby: Waterfall and So Cal Sunset

I received a couple of free polishes recently from Rhobby Cosmetics to do a review on. When I opened the package and saw the colors I immediately thought of fire and ice - pretty neat combo! Rachel has also offered my readers a discount, read on!

First is Waterfall which Rachel describes as "a breath-taking mix of matte blue, purple and teal glitter, holographic glitter all in a stunning blue base."

The holo glitters in this blend are so bright and firey! The base has a blue shimmer and is very sheer so I wore this over one coat of Love & Beauty Royal.


Next is So Cal Sunset, I couldn't find a description for this one at her Etsy shop, but it seems to be made along the same theme as Waterfall. The polish has a pink shimmery base that is sheer and the hex glitters include red, yellow and dark orange and silver squares. Perfect colors for a sunset! :)

I wore one coat over LA Colors Magnetic Force for this photo.

The polish was easy to apply using the dab method and one coat gives a nice sprinkling of glitters. Rachel has a variety of colorful glitter polishes available. You can get yours at the Rhobby Cosmetics Etsy shop. Be sure to use the code xoxoJen15 for 15% off your order now through Sunday 12/9 at Midnight CST.

Thank you Vivid Lacquer!



Seeing the above image might be disappointing to some, but not anymore! Vivid Lacquer has given that sad message a new meaning, a really pretty one!

I recently ordered a stamping plate (ee! playtime in my future!) and Anni offered to send a blog sample of polish to me for review. I said sure! But I had no idea which polish she would be sending - it was a surprise. I stalked my mailbox for the package and ripped it open as soon as it arrived! I was so happy to see the little bottle of pinkish purplish sparkly goodness! And what's this? Black hexes too!? And teensy holographic shimmers?! Awesome!



I wore one coat of Your Princess is in Another Castle over one coat of Naturistics Celebrity, which I've had at least since Mario launched if not before. I think they pair perfectly together! The glittery polish could also be worn over purple, hot pink, or even black. The glitter is so dense that I think the black hexes would still show over a black base. Application was smooth as silk.

A big thank you to Anni for sending the sample polish to me! I look forward to working with you on upcoming collections!

She has a lot of game themed polishes which are all very pretty. Get your sparkly goodness at the Vivid Lacquer Etsy Shop!
