Sweet Pea - A creamy pea green with a strong pink-peach-lemon yellow shifting shimmer and a slight hint of scattered holographic sparkle.
Who doesn't love a copper shimmered polish? And green? YES!
I wore two creamy coats with topcoat, formula is intentionally thicker compared to the average consistency. I added a few drops of thinner to my bottle before painting.

Nail art! I stamped with El Corazon Kaleidoscope copper flame with my custom plate from Vivid Lacquer, number VL0043 and a clear stamper from Aliexpress.

4 Ever - A creamy wisteria purple with a strong aqua shimmer and a hint of scattered holographic sparkle
I wore two coats with topcoat, formula is intentionally thicker compared to the average consistency. I added a few drops of thinner to my bottle before painting.
Such a vibrant shade when the blue and purple mix it looks like a super bright summer shade of indigo. Loving this one heaps!

Kiss me - A berry shifting chrome with strong scattered holo and gold holo glitters
What a pretty purpley/pink shifting polish and look at all that holo goodness! I took a few quick/dirty bottle shots on my swatch table, and must share them! Rachel will deny that this has a purple shift, but well, I think it definitely has a purple shift. You be the judge!
I wore two coats with topcoat, formula was smooth and fluid.

Purrfect - A pale lavender purple to green multi chrome with gray undertones and holo sparkle
I wore two coats with topcoat, formula was smooth and fluid.
This. This is the end all be all of green/purple shifting polish. It's amazing - sheer enough in one coat to layer (see first pic), yet builds to opacity in two coats. It shifts like nobodies business too. Dim light, bright light, each with different intensity of color - the shift is apparent.

Different Dimension: Tradition

Different Dimension Tradition is an otherworldy supermassive linear holo. I'm not joking around folks. If you want strong holo, this is the one. :)

I purchased this a while back, but I'm happy to see that it's still available in her shop.

Missi describes Tradition as an apricot leaning nude metallic holographic polish with added shimmers. I'd call it rose gold - it has both rosy tones and golden tones at varying angles, almost multichromatic.

I wore two coats with topcoat, the formula was fantastically easy to apply and it wore like iron on me. If this floats your boat, check out other poslihes in her shop. There's heaps of beauties for the taking!

Road to Polish Con:Week 8

xoxoJen - Official Polish Con Blogger
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.
