Take Me To The Water - Burnt neon orange with blue and pink shimmer.
Shown is three coats with topcoat. Formula was fantastic!






It's Getting Hot in Here - red with copper shimmer.

Some Like It Hot. Neon hot pink with blue shimmer.
Shown is two coats with topcoat. Fantastic formula as with all CBLs I've tried.
Photos are not color accurate - the actual color is like a neon pink highlighter with blue shimmer. On my screen, my photos lean more blue than the actual color.

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?
