Literary Lacquers: Gloss48 Exclusive duo

Press Sample

Literary Lacquers has teamed up with Gloss48 to offer another exclusive set!
I purchased the first duo that launched and had a good experience with G48. The new duo is a beautiful pair inspired by the Wuthering Heights book.


Catherine is a rustic red/violet holo with microglitter, and gunmetal flakies that shimmer and sparkle and a strong linear rainbow flame






Heathcliff is a dark denim blue colored strong linear holo packed with blue mircoglitter and gunmetal flakies that shimmer and sparkle.





The formula on both was effortless, I used topcoat to ensure a smooth to the touch feel.

The duo is launching on 12/3-12/10 at 11am Central and will be on sale for 20% off, along with all the other duos in the Gloss48 shop.
Which is your favorite duo? Have you shopped with G48?

Cupcake Polish: Holiday 2014

Press Sample

Cupcake Polish has a very vivid Holiday 2014 collection and I'm excited to share them all with you! This collection has three holographic polishes, and three glitter polishes. The formulas on each were very nice in that they're all easy to apply and control where the polish lands on the nail. I had very little clean up with these and I wore two coats of each with topcoat.




Yule Be Missing Me is a crazy vibrant grapey purple with a super strong linear holographic effect. The holo rainbow has a very strong blue flame in the middle which makes this polish really pop! My favorite of this collection and maybe my favorite purple holo ever. :)






Look Who's Stocking Now is a linear holographic turquoise polish.






Just Sleighing Around is a blue or cool leaning red holographic polish.






Menorah-ty Opinion is a blue linear holo packed with blue and gold micro glitters and gold flakies.






Ornamentary My Dear is a gold microglitter packed with gold glitter, gold flakies, and linear holographic pigment. In some lighting, you can see a linear rainbow on top of the glitter.






Deck The Malls is a green microglitter polish with glitters in green, holographic green, and black.





This collection launches December 1st at 6pm CST at the Cupcake Polish online store.

I enjoyed wearing each of these but Yule Be Missing Me is staying on my nails for a long while! It's such a stunning shade of purple! I don't think I have any other holo like it in my stash. My photos just don't do it justice. If you like purple holos you won't want to miss this one!

Which are your favorites?

b.i.t.c.h. by jaclyn: Signature Collection

Press Sample

b.i.t.c.h. by jaclyn is launching her Signature Collection on December 1 at 8:00pm Central time. The collection consists of five polishes and I'll be sharing them in a specific order. See if you can figure out why and I'll reveal the answer at the end of this post!

Bold is a purple to blue duochrome with subtle holographic sparkle.






Intelligent is a metallic denim blue shade with subtle holographic sparkle.






Trendsetting is a silver chrome holo with an almost mirror-like finish. This one is very reflective so I was not able to catch the holo pigment except in the dark area of the macro shot, but it's there and it's beautiful!






Chic is a hot pink, glass flecked, holo. Quite a stunner! I wore two coats with topcoat but one heavy coat would also work well.






Haute is the star of this collection with it's super dark black base and linear holographic pigment. Take a look!






Each of these polishes can be worn in one coat, Chic will need a heavier coat than others or perhaps two coats. Each polish's formula was smooth and easy to use, although I did find Bold to be a little on the thick side so if you prefer a thinner polish just add a few drops of polish thinner to that one.

Did you make a guess as to why these polishes are shown in a certain order? The first letter of each word spells out the brand name. Nifty, eh!? Jac is also launching special packaging with this collection. Take a look!




You can snag your set of Signature Collection polishes and others on December 1 at 8:00pm Central time at http://www.bitchbyjaclyn.com/.
