Post of You're Such a Square by Hit Polish Nail Lacquer and Water Works by LynBDesigns

Here is my photo spam post a day late. I didn't have a lot of time yesterday because I had to go to a baby shower as well as a fourth of july celebration, so I was busy all day!

Before I get started, make sure you are following me on Bloglovin or email or whatever else you can use to follow a blog, because GFC is going away on July 1st! I linked to another blogger on my facebook page that tells you the easiest way to do this and it only takes a couple of clicks!!!

Let's get back to pretty things now SO here's my post!

I can see you readers scratching your head and trying to figure out why these two are paired together.

I will give you guys a moment to guess......
......
.......

Give up?

They're the same except the right has Water Works on top!

The mani starts off as Sinful Colors Unicorn with topper of You're such a Square by Hit Polish.

First off, this was the first time that I had seen a completely square glittered polish (which I love!!!). It gave a different dimension to the polish that I had never seen before.
The polish also included different colors of different sizes of squares, which I think paired perfectly with the yellow of Unicorn.

So then, being my lazy self I wanted a blue mani but didn't want to pull out the nail polish remover just yet. Guess what? My new mani was born!!
By putting a coat or two of Water Works over the top, which originally is circle glitters of shades of blue and green, I got a wonderful new mani!

But enough about what I say, what do you think?!

NotTooPolished (The Indie brand I have the most polishes of) Review of Dragonstone and Daffodil

This is a review of NotTooPolished's polishes. I love NotTooPolished, because she makes great polishes, which is why she is the Indie maker I have the most of, plus she was one of the first indies that I ever got.
So these are all iPhone pics of my nails, so they are a little grainy.
Hope you can see past this!

First off, we start with Not Too Polished's Dragonstone. It's a beautiful black jelly base with bright red glitter.

It makes feel like a rocker/bad ass when I wear it, so if you want to feel like a badass on a regular basis (whenever you paint your nails) I suggest this one.





This polish does take at least two coats though, so keep that in mind.







Onwards we go to the opposite side of the spectrum: the wonderfully spring-timey color of daffodil!


So for all you who don't know, daffodils are a flower that blooms in the very early spring.
They are a bright yellow petaled flower with a inside cup looking part that is generally darker yellow/orange color.
(They always remind me of one of the plants in the plants vs. zombies game) :P


Anyways, I wanted to show you a comparison of the colors that you can expect from Daffodil.
(In advance, excuse my nails, they are breaking like crazy for some reason, so they are sad nails :( )

On my thumb is one coat of Daffodil. You can see that it is a very sheer polish, but it gives a lovely hue of yellow.

On my index finger is one coat over white and my middle finger has two coats over white. You can see the big difference that an extra coat makes!

So I wanted to show case some other of Not Too Polished's polishes. On my index is Eye of Newt and on the middle finger is Freak of a Reindeer.


I love both of these polishes~
First off, Eye of Newt is also a great polish because it fits in with the spring theme. The yellows and greens are spring colors to a tee. :)


Freak of a Reindeer is amazing because it elevates brown polishes that often are classified as boring. It has many dimensions as there are different shapes and colors of brown and gold glitter in it.


Below are some other pictures I took of just plain Daffodil with Freak of a Reindeer as a topper.

You can grab these polishes at NotTooPolished's Etsy page here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/nottoopolished.

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Until next time,

My frankly magnificent timeship by NotTooPolished (Lots of Pictures)

Here is my post for NotTooPolished's My Frankly Magnificent Timeship.

First off, this is the picture that Liz sent with my order. Isn't that adorable?!


I figured I would give you a couple of bottle shots of My Frankly Magnificent Timeship. (It's the blue on the right!)

Isn't it a beautiful color? I mean really it is plus it is very versatile!

Do you see the versatility of this color? It has a dark blue base with dark blue, brown and white glitters in it!

I am thoroughly impressed with this color :)

Hope you enjoyed this post!
Until next time,

Mosaic madness by China Glaze

Hey, I know it's been a long time since I last posted but I am going to be better now!
This is my Mosaic Madness by China Glaze post.

Now this was my second ever polish by China Glaze (I know what most of you are thinking, "what?")
It was the first one that I had bought. The other CG was Agro.

I was at Ulta and came across this beauty and, with my love of blue polishes, I had to have it.
Can you understand why? I mean look at it!!

Me with the bottle!!












Now for the bottle shots! I felt like the bottle was getting the VIP treatment with the photo shoot!

Finally, last but certainly not least, the macro shot! There is all this beautiful blue glitter in this polish, and it also came out of the bottle easily (which is always great!)

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this post!
Until next time,
Peace,
Rikya
