Road to Polish Con: Alter Ego, Native War Paints and Painted Polish

Press Sample

The Road to Polish Con is back as a preview for the September 23 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 are sharing each polish with you first! We'll adventure together down the Road to Polish Con every Thursday for a full eleven weeks.
The polishes release Sunday morning at 8am central, will be available to pre-order for one week, and then the shop is refreshed with different polishes for the next launch.

Gradient stamping with MDU and Inifinity plate 106. Absolutely love how this came out!



Each of these polishes have good formulas and easy application with little clean up. Shown is two coats with topcoat for each polish pictured.

Shimmer Me Box: Summer Vamp

Press Sample

The next release of the Shimmer Me Box is August 11, at 11am Central and its theme is Summer Vamp!
The box with guest, Girly Bits, is packed with vampy polishes in blue, red, and purple and are sure to sparkle like Edward!



Girly Bits - What the Hex - inky blue crelly with a violet-copper-orange shimmer, and a violet to copper duochrome shft.





CbL - The Lady is a Vamp - blackened oxblood with gold, red, burgundy shifting Shimmer with a touch of shifting flake and holo.





Tux Polish - Don't Be Jealous - Dark purple with green shimmer, holo, and micro glitter.





NWP - Vamping Up - dark red leaning purple with copper shimmer.





All four polishes are shown in two coats and have fantastic formulas. I'm really loving the jelly like squish of the CBL and Girly Bits, but I think my favorite of this box is the NWP. Purple/copper combos steal my heart every time.
