Road to Polish Con:Week 8

Press Sample

Unable to attend Polish Con NYC 2017?
Never fear! The creators and vendors of the event got together and are creating polishes available for sale to everyone before the Con! How cool is that? The releases are done weekly on Sundays at 8am Central.

This week's launch will feature week 8 polishes from Girly Bits and Noodles Nail Polish.

Budget? Fuggedaboudit! is a rich grape purple with a loads of copper to gold shifting flakes, and holo flakes. I used 2 coats and top coat for photos. The formula was slightly textured, but easily smoothed and removed afterward.





Near, Far, Wherever You Are is a pale barely turquoise crelly base with gold, rose gold/coppery and silver micro and small glitter. I used 2 coats and top coat for these photos. The formula was smooth, covered well (no streaking) and I recommend the foil method or using a peel off base coat for most efficient removal. This was the first time I've tried Noodles polish, and I really like the brand so far.

Literary Lacquers: February Pop Up

Press Sample

Literary Lacquers took a brief break and has transformed her business plan to do monthly 'pop up' style shops. With that, the plan is to rotate several core colors along with a few new colors each month. Two new shades will debut on February 4, which I've reviewed below. In addition to these two polishes, the following core shades will be stocked: Desdemona's Handkerchief, Bluestocking Romance, Cyan-tifically Proven, Salmon Chanted Evening, Breathing Dreams Like Air and If Thou Hast Eyes to See.



The Happy Prince: Sparkling sapphire blue crelly with a subtle pink shimmer. Designed with Jennifer Sky Walker to celebrate her 5th blogiversary. The Happy Prince is inspired by the Oscar Wilde story of the same name. It tells the tale of a gilded statue with sapphires for eyes and a ruby in the hilt of his sword, the Happy Prince, who convinces a swallow to… well… you should just read it for yourselves. Have tissues.

Since it is a jelly, I wore three thin coats for opacity. The formula is easy to apply and slightly textured from the micro-glitters in it.





“Hope” Is the Thing with Feathers: Pink amethyst linear holo with blue shimmer.
Amy shares some insight about this polish, "Personally, I have been in need of a little hope to get me through these last few months. I created this polish to cheer myself up, and I hope that it will breathe a little fresh air into each of your lives as well. It’s inspired by the poem “Hope” is the thing with feathers, by Emily Dickinson."

Absolutely stunning! The blue shimmer really shows and flashes through the holo, together the pink base and flashes of blue appear like a purpley polish. I wore two buttery smooth coats and topcoat.





Amy's formula wears like iron on me, and these polishes are no exception. If you've not tried LitLaq before, you totally should!

This week's launch will feature week 7 polishes from KBShimmer and Flirtin.

Big Apple Of My Eye. This polish is a squishy jelly red polish filled with holo and red micro metallic glitter. Formula was easy to apply and dries with a slight texture, I wore two coats with topcoat to smooth and just look at that squishiness!
I failed to use a base coat with this swatch and noticed an ever so slight, almost negligable pinkness upon removal of the polish, so be sure to wear a base coat if you care about that.





Pinking of You is is a soft pink with an almost opalescent type sheen to it. It contains red microglitters as well as small silver holographic glitters. This one is just in time for Valentine's Day! Formula was smooth and easy to apply, I wore two coats with topcoat.
