Superficially Colorful: Utral Aymokriyä

For my birthday this year on September 19th, my mom surprised me with a polish I had been lemming for quite a long time! Utral Aymokriyä is one of the most beautiful shades of fuchsia I've come across and she's holographic to boot!

I enjoyed wearing this polish, the formula was like magic and it stayed on my nails for a week!
Lemming squashed ya'll!! Take a look!

The polish comes in a cute box and was packed with pretty ephemera of crystal stones and tissue paper. My mom said the store owner was a delight to work with, and she shipped super fast! I hope you've enjoyed my review, I think I'll go gaze at this polish some more. ;)

Sweet Heart Polish: Garden Party


Garden parties are always so much fun! The smell of sweet florals, little honeybees busily collecting nectar, food, wine, sunshine, delicate shimmery petals of such vibrantly colored flowers - a really relaxing time! I love going to them, but I also like "me" time at home and it's getting colder out.

So I had my own at home variation of bringing a little 'sunshine and flowers' indoors with with the Garden Party collection from Sweet Heart Polish! Each of these is fairly sheer in one coat, so I think they'd make awesome non-greying tinted holo toppers or you can build them to opacity in 2-3 coats. I wore three coats of each polish in my photos below. I've used the shop's descriptions for these because they're spot on!

Hyacinth is a holographic royal blue polish with a purple shimmer flash.

Clementine is a holographic light berry polish with hints of purple holographic glitter mixed in. *favorite!*

Purple Lotus is a holographic light purple/lavender polish.

These are all very glossy on their own, but with topcoat added on top they're super glassy and shine like crazy! And with using three coats, there's a depth created that you just don't get with polishes that are opaque in one coat. I really enjoyed wearing these and the small flat brushes make it super easy to control application so I had very little to no clean up!

Visit Sweet Heart Polish and pick up a few to bring a little sunshine and flowers your way!

Sweet Heart Polish: The Girl Who Has Everything duo


The Girl Who Has Everything nail polish duo, is based on Ariel's Undersea Adventure at Disney California Adventure and will be available to purchase from Sweet Heart Polish and Sea Lore Polish on Saturday November 8th at 2pm CST.

"Flipping Your Fins" is a cerulean blue holographic jelly with blue to green shifting shimmer. This shade is quite the chameleon, in some lights it shows off the holographic sparkle and blue base color, and in other lights you can see the green/blue color shift which makes the polish look teal. I think Cassandra's inspiration of Arial looking upward from under the sea toward the sunlight shining through the water was captured very well in this bottle of polish. It's packed with sparkle and shimmer and is simply stunning! I wore two coats and topcoat for these photos.

Under the Sea is a cobalt blue jelly with green shimmer, holographic sparkle and various sizes of rainbow glitters throughout. Just like peering into the sparkling ocean and admiring all of those bright and beautiful sea creatures living beneath the sea. In two coats, this polish has a lot of depth and covers vnl very nicely.

Both polishes can be worn alone or together for the perfect Little Mermaid mani! Here, I've layered one coat of Under the Sea over Flipping Your Fins which allows for a more sparse glitter look and is slightly darker than when worn alone.

How would you wear this duo? Layered, alone or something totally different?
