Grace-full: Wintertide Collection

Press Sample

The Wintertide Collection is a range of seven beautiful holographic shades, some with flakes and some with shimmer! I've used two coats in each photo, all their formulas were easy to apply and smooth except for the microglitter polish - it was a little bumpy as could be expected.

These polishes are available at the Grace-full online store and are currently on sale!



Mulberry Velvet - Purple linear holo with brown undertones




Regal Boysenberry – a purple jelly with purple and gold super holographic glitter,




Olive Evergreen - Olive with gold shift linear holo




Marsala Leaves - Brown red linear holo with red metallic flakes.
This was my favorite of the collection - photos just don't capture it's beauty. It's definitely one of those 'sleeper' or 'hidden gem' type polishes. I didn't want to take this one off!




Taupe Fog - lilac taupe linear holo with teeny holographic glitter




Steel Blue Blizzard - A grey toned blue linear holo with teeny holographic glitter




Which ones are your favorite?
It was a really tough choice for me, as I really loved all of them. Especially since they're all part of my favorite color range. But I finally landed on Marsala Leaves, it has such beauty and depth!

Essie Starry Starry Night - Retro Revival

Essie Starry Starry Night has been a lemming of mine since I started blogging back in 2009. I'm super excited to finally have it in my hands! I am aware it's not exactly the same as the original, but this is good enough for me!
I got mine from a sweet gal on Facebook who found them in a local store back in December. She bought all they had and was kind enough to offer them to people in our group so I jumped at the chance!

I wore two coats with topcoat and UNF it's squishy and pretty and everything I hoped for! (The formula is the typical goopy Essie formula though)



In checking just now, this polish is available at Beauty.com and sold out on Amazon, but there's an option for email notification there if you prefer Amazon.
Essie.com appears to be stocking it, but the cart is powered by Beauty.com and it looks like Ulta stocked the collection but SSN is currently sold out there. Don't fret though - it is said to hit stores soon!



Are you excited about SSN? Have you ordered yet? Do you have the original? Let me know in the comments below!

UN-Valentine Collaboration Box

Press Sample

The box contains five full size bottles of Indie brand polishes one each from Turtle Tootsie, 77 Nail Lacquer, Cupcake, Bear Pawlish and Glisten & Glow.
You'll notice the box is meant to be satirical, especially with the clever names they've come up with! There is a surprise in the box but I've been sworn to secrecy! Ok ok - it's a special chocolate but I can't say more than that!

The box will be available for pre-sale beginning at 9am Central on January 3rd and goes through the 17th at Turtle Tootsie Polishes.

It's Not Me, It's YOU! is a berry pink linear holo with teeeeeny iridescent flakes inside. It's quite unique in my collection and this is the first time I've tried Turtle Tootsie polishes. Color me impressed! I wore two coats and topcoat, formula was smooth and easy to control.





I Love You, Not! is a super squishy red jelly that deepens a bit with the second coat. It's packed full of iridescent and holographic microglitter. Red polishes typically freak my camera out and this is the case here - it needs to be seen in person to see its full beauty. I wore two coats, formula is thick but manageable if the first coat is allowed to dry before the second.





I Bought It Myself is a coppery colored jelly packed full of golden holo microglitters. The end result is a coppery super sparkly nail polish!
I wore two coats and topcoat, formula was easy to apply and fairly smooth for a microglitter.





Single and Ready to Mingle is a denim-like shade of blue with a vibrant linear holo rainbow. I found the formula to be great and wore 2 coats with topcoat.





Table For One is a charcoal jelly filled with tiny holo glitters. The jelly darkens to black as it's layered in two coats. As with other Bears I've tried, the formula is smooth and easy to apply.
