Twisting Nether: Holiday Collection

I'm excited for the opportunity to share a new to me brand with you, Twisting Nether. She has a bangin Black Friday sale, a new collection (shown below) and many more polishes for us!

If you like what you see, head over to her shop for the Black Friday sale and try a few!

I enjoyed the formulas for all of these, smooth, fluid, almost buttery-like. No streaks, no clumps, no goo - just smooth easy application. The bottles are equipped with squared-off flat brushes which allow great control over where the polish lands on the nail (less clean up, yay!).

Kasi has made twelve different polishes for us, from toppers to crellies, even a vampy multichrome! There is something for everyone in this holiday collection releasing on Black Friday.

Freshly Fallen Snow
White base with silver galaxy glitters, aqua and purple sparks, blue-purple-indigo cc flakes and purple-blue iridescent glitters
2 coats shown, very smooth application, needs a little more care than the crellies for application but overall not streaky and easy to apply.

Frosty
Holo base with light and dark blue holo glitter mix and white matte glitter in different sizes.
2 coats shown, I like the look of it this way but you could also sponge it on for an even more dense look. Also works well as a topper.

How The Ghosts Stole Christmas

Sugar Plum Fairy
Clear base filled with purple, pink, lavender and magenta galaxy glitters, violet-pink-gold ucc flakes and purple-red aurora shimmer
2 coats shown with topcoat. Such a pretty glitter bomb! Loving it this way, but also works well as a topper.

You're a Mean One
Trithermal: Dark green when cold to medium green to light green when warm. Filled with holo, gold galaxy holo glitters, red/gold aurora shimmer, copper-red-green-gold and copper-green-gold chameleon flakies.

2 coats shown with topcoat. This is my first trithermal and it was so much fun to watch it shift and change as I dunked it in ice water. My hands are almost always hot, so I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to capture all three shades, but the change was gradual enough that I was able to see all of them for good amount of time. What a fun polish!






Winter's Kiss
Trithermal: Purple when cold to sky blue to light blue filled with p urple-blue-indigo crystal chameleon flakies, holo flakes, silver galaxy holo glitters, holo and aqua and purple sparks.

2 coats shown with topcoat. This is my first trithermal and it was so much fun to watch it shift and change as I dunked it in ice water. The three colors of this one lasted for a good amount of time just like the green one, so it was fairly easy to shoot. What a fun polish!

Happy New Year!
Thermal: Black when cold to clear when warm. Filled with holo, red/gold aurora shimmer, gold flakes, gold galaxy holo glitters.
2 coats shown with topocat. Although the description says this is black, it is more of a warm brown/black to my eye. I suspect the glints of red and gold play this trick on me, but I love it. :)

Holly
Green base with holo pigment, holo flake, silver holo glitter blend, and silver galaxy holo glitter.
2 coats shown and I quite like the finished look here, for a more opaque look add another coat.

Jolly
Red base with holo pigment, holo flake, silver holo glitter blend, and silver galaxy holo glitter.
2 coats shown with topcoat, sister to the above polish. The two would look great together with some nail art!

The North Pole Of Course!
Blue-aqua-purple multichrome with holo and silver galaxy glitters
2 coats shown, formula was great. I find the shift more apparent as I switch between different sources of light from bright to dim.

Nailart! I stamped snowflakes from MR-01 with Joss Blue Shimmer over Freshly Fallen Snow then topped with Frosty for a beautiful wintery manicure.
I've shown it both glossy and matte because I couldn't decide which way I liked it more. Which is your favorite?

xoxoJen's swatch of Glam Polish Glam Polish: Anniversary Duo

These are both shown in two coats, the formula was great and since these are such tiny glitters, I only needed one coat of topcoat for a smooth finish.

Lollipop Posse: Seasonal Garbage and Black Friday Single Pours

Join Lollipop Posse Lacquer as they bring you a small taste of those little things that just don’t go according to plan during the holidays. What would the season be without a little bit of snark and chaos?

I've worn two coats of each with topcoat unless otherwise stated. The formula on all of these was fantastic and I'm just gonna warn ya'll now... I liked every single one of these quite a bit! The shimmers in them are insanely beautiful. Just when I think Karen's game is at its peak she goes and ups it. Ok, you've been warned. :)

Release Date and Time: Thursday, November 22nd, 9pm Central.

Seasonal Garbage: Holiday 2018

Eleven Cookies in the VCR is a strawberry-bubblegum pink crelly loaded with red to green shifting Aurora pigment and holo flakes.
“I’m sorry I ruined your lives, and crammed eleven cookies into the VCR.” -Buddy the Elf, “Elf”

The bottle shot shows the green shift really well, this does translate to the nail but my bottle shot illustrates it much better than I could with my nail shots. I tend to be a little iffy about pinks, but this one is bright and pretty and the shifting shimmer sells it to me.

Full-Blown, Four-Alarm Holiday Emergency is a grape crelly packed full with red/pink/gold shifting Aurora pigment and holo flakes.
“Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here.” -Clark Griswold, “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”

The perfect purple with super vibrant contrasting shimmer and holo all bottled up just for us! When I first put this on I was wowed by it.

Seasonal Garbage is a blue-leaning teal crelly base packed full of purple/copper/green shifting Aurora shimmer and holo flakes.
“You’re not fooling anybody because you wear a velvet tie and tuck in your shirt. You’re still a piece of garbage. Now you’re just seasonal garbage.” -The Worst Things About Office Holiday Parties: Whine About It

Another done in the same vein as the others above and I love it just as much, cause teal.

Welcome to the Party, Pal is an electric, ultramarine blue crelly base filled with cyan/indigo shifting Aurora shimmer and holo flakes.

And the last sister, only a super vibrant blue this time. Yes, I love this one too!

The flakes make for a metallic finish and the rosegold shade is soft, together they're edgy yet girly.
