Sparkles by Julie: Coco Sugah!

PR Sample

So, I've been on a Panda pinning spree over at Pinterest. I just love pandas, its my dream to get to see one in person someday. :) -wistful sigh while daydreaming-

Hm? Oh yes! I have some special swatches for you today from Sparkles by Julie. She sent two free polishes of my choosing and since Water Lily is very popular, I picked two others. :P

First is Coco, a rich brown shimmer base packed with gold and holo glitters.

The polish was mostly opaque in one coat, but I used two for this photo. It has such depth and just look at that chocolicious shimmah in there! What could be better than this?

Oh! Perhaps a few Sugah! "marshmallows" to top off my Coco?

Sugah! is a white glitter polish just packed full of dazzling iridescent and holo sparkles of different sizes. Just look at all the green reflections from the glitter. Its like a magical fairy fire to roast the marshmallows on before topping my mug of hot cocoa!

For an entirely different look, I tried Sugah! on top of Alphubel from Elevation Polish and I love how it turned out!

A bit of wintery Norwegian "snow" to go with my hot "coco"! And see those same iridescent and holo sparkles? They're reflecting turquoise and purple now!

Here's a bit of a closer look with some blurring to help show off the coloring of the tiny glitters.


My favorite of the two is Sugah! Its so flexible - the possibilities are endless with it - over red it could be candy canes or perhaps a lace doily under a red heart for Valentines. You could totally do red and blue stripes for July 4th and layer this over the top to add the white and the "fireworks". How about navy blue for a starry night effect? Over black for a spooky bones Halloween effect? The possibilities are endless with this one!

You can get yours at the Sparkles by Julie Etsy shop. Right now she is running a daily special for one polish at 50% off, so check for those!

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.

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.
