Road to Polish Con: Great Lakes, Tonic, and Ever After

Press Sample

The Road to Polish Con is back as a preview for the September Polish Con event in Chicago. I am delighted to be involved again as both Director of the event and Official RTPC Blogger! If you missed the NYC Road to Polish Con, you can find photos and links here.

I and five other “official” Polish Con Bloggers and Swatchers will share each polish with you first! We'll adventure together down the Road to Polish Con every Thursday for the next eleven weeks.
The releases begin this week on July 2, will be available to order for one week, and then the shop is refreshed with different polishes for the next launch.



Ever After - Razzle Dazzle Them
Gold holo glitter bomb with gold shimmer and pink sparkle and shimmer
Shown is two coats, formula was smooth and easy to apply.







Great Lakes Lacquer - Polish Your Crystal Ball
A silver holo micro flake filled with two kinds of iridescent flake. Can be used as a topper or alone in three to four coats.
Shown is three coats, formula was smooth and easy to apply.







Tonic - Vaudeville Venom
A medium warm leaning purple cream with green to fuchsia shifting multichrome shimmer
Shown is two coats, formula was quick to dry; few brush strokes on the first coat will prevent it from dragging.







I hope you've enjoyed the review and photos - snag yours this Sunday morning after 8am Central over at http://polishconvention.bigcartel.com/products and if you haven't already, join the Polish Con facebook group to stay informed.

Blush: Mojito Mondays

Press Sample

Blush has created a beautiful polish for the Polish Pick Up, a pop up type shop that opens monthly with various brands of limited polish with a theme. This month's theme is Cocktails & Mocktails and will be open for pre-order on July 7th at 11am EST through Monday, July 10th at 11:59pm EST.

Blush Lacquer's Mojito Mondays was inspired by the drink and is a bright pastel lime based holo with gold shimmer and a smattering of gold to lime shifting holo glitter for sparkle.
I wore two coats with topcoat in the photos, and the formula was excellent.





I have enjoyed wearing this polish, it is a nice crispy fresh shade, perfect for warm summer days!

Turtle Tootsie: Anniversary Trio

Press Sample

Chrissy at Turtle Tootsie is celebrating her brand's 2nd year and created a limited edition trio for the occasion. They release on July 1st at 12pm EDT and come in both full and mini sizes. These will not be restocked, so get them while you can!



2nd Turtleversary - a blue to gold holographic duochrome with multicolor chameleon flakies and purple/blue micro flakies





Where's the Cake? - A dark brown polish with gold flakies, multichrome ucc flakies and gold shimmer





Bottled Concord - A purple holo with silver micro glitter & purple/blue ucc flakies
This may very well be my favorite purple of the year. It's vibrant, berry leaning, has a strong holo, and looks amazing!





I wore two coats of each polish, formula for all three was excellent - smooth, buttery and easy to apply. Wear time was fantastic for Bottled Concord, I wore it 7 days without a chip! I didn't wear test the other two, but I'm sure they will last nicely too.

You can get yours on July 1st, at 12pm EDT at http://www.turtletootsiepolishes.com/.
