Painted Sabotage: Crellies

Two more pretty crellies from Painted Sabotage, the first one was called Love Poison. I just can't get enough of this formula of hers! It applies itself. So easy to control that I didn't do any clean up on the first one and very little on the second. The brushes are the classic small round brush and I like that her bottle label is coated so that oils / lotions don't mess them up. :)

Vaithrudnir (Vafþrúðnir) is the name of a frost giant that challenged Odin in Norse mythology, that was my inspiration when creating this polish. Picture a bluish grey with glints of ice and snow. You will find an assortment of blue, gunmetal, silver holographic and white glitters.

A beautiful slate blue with sparkles interspersed. Two coats to opacity, nice eh?

Gettin' Eggy Wit It is a neutral blend of colors with a tiny bit of sparkle. You will find bronze and copper through out with a slight gold sparkle in an almond shade base. Great for those days when you just want to be all warm and toasty and possibly with a glass of Eggnog!


This one reminds me of chocolate chip cookies and I started craving them while I was polishing! I used three thin coats just to make sure vnl was covered well for my photos, but I think two coats applied a little thicker would also work well.

I love the cool and neutral tones in these, they're soothing and then there's the burst of sparkle! Which is your favorite?

You can find these and other Painted Sabotage polishes at the Etsy store. Thanks for visiting!

Painted Sabotage: Love Poison

Love Poison is the second polish inspired and co-created with the daughter of Chrissy from Painted Sabotage. She says that her daughter's love of My Little Ponies was the inspiration for this polish. Love Poison is a pretty pink with small pink dot glitter, a hidden golden shimmer, pink hexes and tiny square and micro gold glitters.

The formula is perfection for this crelly. It almost applied itself in three thin coats and has the perfect amount of glitter so that it doesn't get too chunky with that many coats. No dragging, clumping or streaking either. I think I've finally found a crelly formula that I love!

The listing for this particular polish says it's a Limited Edition, so if you want this one you may want to snag it soon!

The Painted Sabotage Etsy shop has quite a selection of polishes to choose from, including some beautiful holos. I have four other Painted Sabotage polishes to review, so be sure to check back at xoxojen.com!
