Painted Sabotage

I have been enjoying wearing Painted Sabotage polishes lately. If you haven't tried this brand, give it a shot - she's having a sale that I'll share at the end of the review.

Ice Flowers is the perfect snowy winter polish. With it's collection of different size white and periwinkle blue glitters surrounded by a light wintery blue base with a hint of shimmer.
I wore two coats with topcoat and it's such an interesting polish - it almost looks like the tips of my nails are more blue than the rest, the way a thermal might act but this isn't a thermal. Pretty cool illusion!

Storyteller is a neutral brown polish with different shades and sizes of light and dark brown and copper glitters.
Wearing this polish was kind of luxurious feeling! Is it a silken scarf beaded by hand from a far off land, or perhaps a rich creamy latte with swirls of golden flake sugar? I loved it and didn't want to take it off. I think I wore it for about a week! Two coats for opacity and a smooth creamy formula.

Zaphod's Ego is a dark gold base with a light shimmer with different sizes of dark purple, red and gold glitters, also gold holo squares and last but not least gold dots! Only the best for Zaphod!
This polish may not look fancy at first glance, but check the macro shot. It is FULL of shimmer! It glistens and sparkles like crazy, it's just super difficult to photograph. I wore two coats but it could probably use one more coat to reach full opacity under bright lights. I'm sure it'd be gorgeous worn over a cream polish too. Love those purple glitters in it!

Literary Lacquers: HHC Polishes


HHC is Hella Holo Customs, which is a secret group on facebook that invites various brands to make custom polishes for the group. The polishes are exclusive to the group, so you must be a member to purchase them.
These are the three polishes made by Literary Lacquers for the group, and I think she did a fantastic job. Each of them unusual and stunning.

Wherever Is Your Heart - Magenta-purple linear holo with aqua shimmer.
The name is from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
I was absolutely wowed by this polish when I unwrapped the bottle and even more so after applying it. It's such an electric color and the flakies just flash like a disco ball! I'm completely over the moon with this polish! Two coats for opacity and a perfect formula.

There Is Your Treasure - Periwinkle linear holo with pink shimmer and flakies.
The name is from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
Such a beautifully done perwinkle! You may be thinking there are similar shades to this out there, but they are lacking the sparkly flakies this one has! Opaque in two easy coats.

For the Rest of Us - Cranberry chrome linear holo, part of the Festivus for the Rest of Us duo with Nvr Enuff polish.
I love the teeny tiny micro glitter in this, unusual for sure. I wore two coats, but this polish is more opaque than most LitLaq holos. If care is taken, I think this could be a one coater.

I used a matte topcoat and then stamped the snowflakes from plate MR-02 - and this polish is STILL holo! o.o
