O My Jewels: Pinks and Blues

Press Sample

I'm sharing a new to me brand with you today, O My Jewels. Sophia and Billy partner to create beautiful polishes and run O My Jewels! They sent a few coordinating colors for me to review; and because they have different finishes, they're also perfect for nail art!



Love Junkie
Hot pink cream
I wore two coats with topcoat although, it didn't need top coat. It was super glossy on it's own and has such a buttery smooth formula!




Good Try
A pretty raspberry shimmery shade that shifts with different lighting.
Again, super great formula and just two coats for opacity.





Mermaid Tales
Purple mica shines through this aqua, blue - green shimmery dream.
Its name definitely suits it! Looks just like a mermaid! Two coats is shown, formula was fantastic!





Blue Heron
Medium blue cream
The formula for this cream was just as awesome as the pink one. Buttery, creamy smooth and opaque in one coat, but shown with two here.





Nail Art!
I felt creative and decided to do a few nail art looks with these.

First, is a look I created by using a fan brush with black and white polish over Love Junkie. The second look uses a sponged base of Love Junkie and Good Try with a black cream, and then stamped in white with a sunglasses design. Last is a double stamped mani over Blue Heron. I used a car design to stamp with Mermaid Tales and then shoes in white. I've kind of got a summer travel theme going here!








Overall, I'm pleased with my experience and the polishes from O My Jewels. Their polishes are wonderfully smooth and easy to apply. The shades are pretty and the variety in finish is fantastic across the board.

The above four polishes are available now, along with many other beauties at http://omyjewels.com/ Give them a visit, and snag a few of your own!

Road To Polish Con: Week 1 Nail Art

Press Sample

After swatching each of the RTPC polishes for Week 1, I thought they all went really well together. On a whim, I decided to try a gradient french with Tonic as the base.




I used a makeup sponge to dab on each of the Ever After and Great Lakes Lacquer polishes. The dabbing really brings out the holo sparkle in the EA and the GLL looks almost chrome-like in some areas.
I love how it turned out! What do you think of it?

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.
