Glam Polish:Limited Edition Holo Gift Box

Press Sample

Glam Polish has three fun limited edition holo gift boxes to add extra glam to your holidays. They are offering a mini size gift box and two options in full size gift boxes. These are very limited in number to approximately 130 boxes total. The four polishes seen here are only available in the boxes, so if you like them this will be the only chance to get them!



The box comes with four minis, an unscented cuticle balm and a Red Velvet lip butter.

I used the cuticle balm during the time I wore these polishes and I like it quite a bit! It's not heavy or stiff, in fact it melts very nicely and smooths on easily, almost like a lotion or cream does. The balm soaks in quickly for a nice moisturized, photo ready mani.

The Red Velvet scented lip balm has a similar feel as the cuticle balm once applied, but it stays in a state solid enough not to be liquidy and feels like, well, velvet!
Glam Polish has really got great formulas for both of these products and best of all, the ingredients appear to be all natural in BOTH products!

The polishes are all easily one coaters, I used two coats with Elf and then quickly realized I only needed one coat, so all but Elf are showing one coat with top coat. The formula is of good consistency, easily controllable and I found the mini size very easy to use as the cap and brush are very similar to full size.

Bad Santa - Berry Red Holo with golden shimmer & flakies.





Elf - Forest Green Holo with gold & silver shimmer & flakies.





The Polar Express - Bright Blue Holo with icy silver shimmer & flakies.





Nightmare Before Xmas - Rich purple Holo with golden shimmer & flakes.





Since the box comes with nail studs, I created a few nail art looks with them. This is the first time I've used nail art studs and they're really easy. I placed four of them on my nail prep area and then used a wooden mani stick dabbed in top coat to pick up the studs and place them onto my nails. After that, I added topcoat to each nail and viola! Easy peasy!

I mentioned previously that there are three options for the boxes, and each one comes with the moisturizing red velvet lip balm, mini cuticle balm, gold tear drop and round holo nail studs.

b.i.t.c.h. by Jaclyn: Family Jewels Collection

Press Sample

New from b.i.t.c.h. by Jaclyn is the Family Jewels Collection. It consists of six holographic polishes packed with iridescent flakies and four micro glitter texture polishes. Each of which is simply stunning!

Princess Panooch is a hot pink holo packed with pink iridescent flakies.





Family Jewels is a royal purple holo with purple iridescent flakies.





Royally Fucked is a Tiffany Blue holo with blue iridescent flakies.





Prince Albert is a cornflower blue holo with blue iridescent flakies.





Sofa King is a deep jade green holo with green iridescent flakies.





Queen Bitch is a fandango pink/purple holo with purple iridescent flakies. In person, this one seems just a hair darker than my images, more of an orchid shade.





Every one of the holo flakies have a fantastic formula that's easy to control and allows time to smooth out each coat perfectly without pulling. I used two coats for most of these, except for Royally Fucked, which needed one additional coat to cover vnl. Sofa King was opaque in one coat, but I used two out of habit.

The next four polishes in this entry are glitter polishes and they have really impressed me. They're micro glitter texture polishes but what makes them really stand out is that three of them are completely opaque in just ONE coat! And they're also metallic, which I've not seen yet in the realm of texture polishes. Maybe I'm out of the loop, but for me, they're unique and I absolutely love them! Jewel encrusted nails without the bulk? Yes please!

Her Royal Kiss-Ass is a smokey purple-leaning taupe micro glitter. Completely opaque in one coat and is a texture polish if worn without topcoat. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I was swatching the very last color or I would have taken photos with and without topcoat to show them off both ways. To the touch, they feel just like the pixie dusts from Zoya. I love that texture and these are all super sparkly. SO IN LOVE!





Sparkle Queen is a royal purple micro glitter texture. Beautifully done, don't ya think?





Get Your Own Damn Tiara is a super bright silver texture polish. I used two coats for this one. Maybe because it's a lighter color and in a clear base rather than a tinted one like the others. It might be a one coater if a thicker coat is used, but you can also layer this over a cream or holo color for a different look! I just tried layering it over Queen Bitch and it almost looks like a shifting polish. The Queen Bitch color peeks through the glitter at an angle, but straight on, it pretty much looks like solid silver. Pretty neat!





King me, bitches! is a champagne gold micro glitter texture, I think this would be perfect for Christmas time or New Years. I love the light shade of this one, super wearable even on warmer skin tones.





This is my second b.i.t.c.h. by Jaclyn review, and I have to say I'm quite impressed with all of the polishes so far. I love her new brand name and logo. Speaking of which...I just found out she has a Go Fund Me page set up for the relaunch and one of the donation levels allows you to get an exclusive purple holo polish! If you're interested, here's the link to her Go Fund Me page!

The Family Jewels collection launches at 8pm Central on Monday November 3, at http://www.bitchbyjaclyn.com/.

I love them all, but my favorite colors are Queen Bitch, Her Royal Kiss-Ass, Sparkle Queen, and Family Jewels.
Which are your favorites from this collection?
