Unable to attend Polish Con NYC 2017?
Never fear! The creators and vendors of the event got together and are creating polishes available for sale to everyone before the Con! How cool is that? The releases are done weekly on Sundays at 8am Central.

This week's launch will feature week 10 polishes from Turtle Tootsie and Leesha's Lacquer.

Once In A Blue Moon
Once in a Blue Moon is a glowy blue shimmer with a dash of holo glitter. Polish Con only happens once in a gorgeous shimmery Blue Moon after all!
I wore two coats with topcoat for an opaque look.

Polish Con Blues
A black jelly holo base with silver holo micro glitter and blue shift.
I wore two easy coats with topcoat. The polish had very little texture before topcoating and did not chip after two days.

Road to Polish Con: Week 9

Never fear! The creators and vendors of the event got together and are creating polishes available for sale to everyone before the Con! How cool is that? The releases are done weekly on Sundays at 8am Central.

This week's launch will feature week 9 polishes from Contrary Polish and The Don Deeva.

These Streets Will Make You Feel Brand New
A very dark grey with holo flakes and a strong flash of copper. The base is truly a neutral grey but the copper flash can give the overall polish a brownish look. How cool is that? It certainly looked brown in some lights as I wore it. Two coats, with topcoat. The formula was smooth and easy to apply.

Big Lights Will Inspire You
A clear base loaded with spectraflair and a touch of holographic micro flakies. Slight texture from the micro flake. Super duper sparkly, especially in sunlight! I wore two coats and the polish was completely opaque. It feels slightly textured before topcoating, and one coat made it smooth. The formula was easy to apply, no digging the brush around the bottle or anything.

Ever After and Tonic: Sweetheart Quartet

Ever After and Tonic are offering the Sweetheart Quartet of polishes themed around Valentine's day. These are $40 + shipping and not sold separately. The quartet releases February 3 at 7pm Central and is available only through the Ever After web shop. There will be 40 sets available for immediate shipment and then a three day pre-order window for additional orders.

Sweet Pea - A creamy pea green with a strong pink-peach-lemon yellow shifting shimmer and a slight hint of scattered holographic sparkle.
Who doesn't love a copper shimmered polish? And green? YES!
I wore two creamy coats with topcoat, formula is intentionally thicker compared to the average consistency. I added a few drops of thinner to my bottle before painting.

Nail art! I stamped with El Corazon Kaleidoscope copper flame with my custom plate from Vivid Lacquer, number VL0043 and a clear stamper from Aliexpress.

4 Ever - A creamy wisteria purple with a strong aqua shimmer and a hint of scattered holographic sparkle
I wore two coats with topcoat, formula is intentionally thicker compared to the average consistency. I added a few drops of thinner to my bottle before painting.
Such a vibrant shade when the blue and purple mix it looks like a super bright summer shade of indigo. Loving this one heaps!

Kiss me - A berry shifting chrome with strong scattered holo and gold holo glitters
What a pretty purpley/pink shifting polish and look at all that holo goodness! I took a few quick/dirty bottle shots on my swatch table, and must share them! Rachel will deny that this has a purple shift, but well, I think it definitely has a purple shift. You be the judge!
I wore two coats with topcoat, formula was smooth and fluid.

Purrfect - A pale lavender purple to green multi chrome with gray undertones and holo sparkle
I wore two coats with topcoat, formula was smooth and fluid.
This. This is the end all be all of green/purple shifting polish. It's amazing - sheer enough in one coat to layer (see first pic), yet builds to opacity in two coats. It shifts like nobodies business too. Dim light, bright light, each with different intensity of color - the shift is apparent.
