The Polish Bar

Today I'm sharing a few polishes from The Polish Bar, a shop that I had not tried before.

Janice sent three polishes of her choosing to me for free and I was so surprised when they arrived. Each of them are different styles of glitter polish which she makes very well.
(I'm using her descriptions (italicized below) for each polish.)

Better Things has ultrafine light green, baby blue, purple hex glitters, and a dash of purple-green iridescent glitters in a clear base.

The formula is surprisingly smooth and very easy to apply. I wore two coats of Better Things over one coat of Revlon Hazy.


Look at that shifting shimmer!


By Starlight is a major glitter bomb! It has rainbow hex glitters, bar glitters, silver stars and many, many other glitters in a clear base.

I didn't dig around or fish and ended up with two holo stars, so there's a 50/50 chance of getting one!


I used two coats over Color Club's I Believe in Amour.

Party Dress has hot pink microflakies, pink holo hex glitters and fuchsia dot glitters in a sheer black jelly base.

I wore two coats of Party Dress over Love and Beauty's Magenta. Again, this polish was easy to apply and fairly smooth to the touch.


Look at the shimmer in there! It looks like it has holo shimmer particles in it, even though its not in the description. The polish leans a little more magenta than my photo shows. I couldn't color correct because it turned the purple shimmer blue. Its less red, and a much richer magenta than what my photo can show. Party Dress is really gorgeous and my favorite of the three.

All three have great formulas and are so much fun to paint with! You can get yours at The Polish Bar's Etsy Shop and check Polish Bar news and updates at their Facebook page.

More Love Triangles with Urban Lacquer

I was just looking at my previous blog entry and realized that I left out a couple of swatches. So a few minutes ago, I redid my nails to get this shot.

The Wife on top of the Husband (one coat each) with an accent of The Mistress jelly sandwiched between the Husband and the Wife. Now the triangle is complete!



I really love how the Wife makes the Mistress blush!
(one coat of each for the accent nail)


These launch in about 20 minutes at the Urban Lacquer Etsy Shop.

Urban Lacquer: Love Triangle

Urban Lacquer's Valentine's Day collection is quite a clever creation. Brenda kept it a secret from me until I unboxed the polish. Little did I know it'd be this steamy! It's not the typical hearts and flowers set, no sireee!

The Love Triangle

The set is comprised of three polishes, The Husband, The Wife, and -gasp!- The Mistress. Oooooo...



The Husband is a handsome feller, don't ya think?


Deep rich mahogany hair...


Sparkling blue eyes.. -wistful sigh-



The Wife is quite refined.


She sips deep raspberry colored wine that's almost jelly-like and shimmers in the moonlight...




Little does The Wife know that The Husband has a secret...

Oh yes, this is The Mistress atop the Husband! -gasp!-


So playful together, enjoying every moment of it!


Does anyone dare tell The Wife about this?



...or would The Wife care?

It appears that The Wife has a Mistress too!! -shock!-


She wears a seductive laced up corset with hearts on the front!


The Mistress is a sexy woman, sparkling in all the right ways. Her eyes are bewitchingly holographic, hair like silk, gold and silver jewels adorning her pink and red lingerie. Who dares resist her?

How do we choose? Or do we tell? We have until Thursday to decide!


If you missed out on Brilieve, now is your chance to get a bottle! 25 bottles of Brilieve will be stocked along with the V-day launch tomorrow.

The Valentine's Day collection will be available Thursday, January 24th, at 8pm CST.
If you purchase the set of three, you'll receive a small jar of pink and red holographic hearts for your nails! (examples in above photos on accent nail)
