Night Owl Lacquer: Pining For Fall

Press Sample

Night Owl Lacquer is part of the Polish Pick Up this month! She's created a beautiful olive shade packed with goodness. This polish and many others will be available at https://www.polishpickup.com/ on September 1st - 4th. The theme this month is Fall Foliage & Fun.

Pining For Fall - an olive green with bright golden shimmer and packed full of several different shades of shifting UCC flakies.





Formula was perfection and two coats were just right for opacity. I've used the Tonic top coat, but this polish was fairly glossy on its own. Removal was easy and I didn't notice any staining while using a base coat of Gelous.

I hope you've enjoyed the review, see ya next time!

Press Sample

Turtle Tootsie's Grease inspired collection will launch on Sunday, August 27th at 8pm Eastern.
The collection consists of 10 polishes in a variety of shades and finishes.



Grease Lightning - A gray creme holo with silver holo micro glitter.
Three coats with topcoat shown, formula was a little streaky but the third coat evened it out.





Pink Ladies - A pink pastel holo with neon pink micro flakies
Perfect formula, opaque in two coats and absolutely love the way it has a lavender hue to it.





Tell Me About It, Stud - A red-purple linear holo
Shown is two coats, formula was fantastic and just look at the shimmer in this!





Beauty School Dropout - A peachy pink holo with gold flakies
Two coats shown, formula was good.





If You Can't Be An Athlete, Be An Athletic Supporter - A golden peach linear holo polish with assorted chrome chameleon flakies
Shown in two coats, a sort of rose gold/coppery shade, formula was great.





Makin Fun of Me, Riz? - A nude holo with purple shimmer
Loving the combination of the taupey base with purple shimmer. Two coats shown, formula was good.





Summer Dreams Ripped at the Seams - This is a turquoise holo with gold shimmer and gold flakies.
My favorite of the bunch! There's just something about teal and gold that go so well together. Two coats with topcoat shown, formula was perfect.





Hand Jive - A bright blue linear holo polish with blue/green micro flakies
So vivid and beautiful, my second favorite of the collection. Shown is two coats with topcoat, great formula.





Hickie From Kenickie - A pink/purple metallic holo
And of course I love this purple one too, I've been wearing it almost a week with no chipping. Shown is two coats, great formula.





T-Birds - A black jelly with silver shimmer and silver holo micro glitter
The glitter in this is tiny bar glitter! I don't think I've seen it made that small before. Such a fun polish! Two coats with topcoat shown, formula was good.





I hope you've enjoyed the collection swatches! Which are your favorites from Turtle Tootsie?

Road to Polish Con:Girly Bits, Fair Maiden and BBP

Press Sample

The Road to Polish Con is back as a preview for the September 23rd 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.



Girly Bits
Pier-less Beauty - a navy blue that shifts through violet, blue, and green/gold at the edges, with tiny holographic microglitter, and colour shifting iridescent flakes.







Fair Maiden
Pier Magic - an olive green base that shifts to a dark teal green with added holographic sparkles.





BBP
Flapper Girl - a black jelly with multiple types of pink & turquoise flakies





Each of these polishes have good formulas, the BBP was a little on the thick side but not unmanageable. Shown is two coats with topcoat for each polish pictured.

I hope you've enjoyed the review and photos - snag yours this Sunday morning after 8am Central over at http://polishconvention.bigcartel.com/products. They're available 8/27-9/2, and if you haven't already, join the Polish Con facebook group to stay informed.
