Recap!

So, my computer decided to crash on me, and seeing as how the holidays have just passed, I haven't had the funds to fix it! So I've been a little behind on posts! But!! I figure I'll just do massive posts containing the nail polishes I've used since the last post until my computer is back up and running! So here goes long post number one!

This Christmas-y beauty is Lacquerlicious - Mistletoe Kisses! It's a pale green base with small darker green and red glitters! It applies very smoothly, and I'd suggest letting it sit upside down for a few minutes just to get a good mix of the glitters. But overall, a fabulous polish!
I decided to make it a little more festive and add some red chevron stripes using SinfulColors - Sugar Sugar! These were hand painted, seeing as how I haven't gotten the hang of using vinyls ;)

This is a two of a kind polish from Indie Polish called Dusk! I won it & it was one of two bottles made in this specific shade! The color reminds me exactly of what the name entails, dusk. It's a purple/grey beauty! Application was a charm, this is three coats. This was also my first attempt at chevron! :)

Yet another combination of two of my favorite indie brands, Vapid Lacquer and Supernatural Lacquer. The base for this mani is Vapid Lacquer's Destined for Greatness, a gorgeous purple holo! Sadly, the holo effect was gone once I topped it with this glitter topper, but it's still a fabulous purple! I used three coats, which, as always with Vapid Lacquer, went on perfectly! I then topped it with Supernatural Lacquer's Confetti Party! This has become my absolute FAVORITE glitter topper! It's like a party in a bottle!! <3 love these two brands!! Seriously in my top 3!!

Following up is yet another festive polish, this time by Supernatural Lacquer! This is Christmas Cookie! Christmas Cookie has a warm vanilla/sugar cookie colored base. It has small red and green glitters as well as Christmas Tree glitters. The only downside, as is a downside with almost every glitter topper with larger glitters, I had to fish for the Christmas tree. But, as I just stated, this is a very common thing with large glitters and it in no way changes how amazing I find this polish!

This was my very first shot at a gradient mani. I used three seperate indies! The darker blue is Mentality's Tough! I love Mentality, it's also in my top 3 indies. Tough is a kind of cobalt blue matte polish. 2 coats does the trick, but I used 3, as I almost always do! It went on very smoothly. The lighter blue is a polish I've already reviewed, F.U.N. Lacquer's Cinderella. I topped it off with Fancy Gloss's Holo Top Coat! I loved this mani! I wore it for almost a week straight!

Another Mentality! This is Rogue, a deep purple/burgundy matte polish! I also wore it on my toes, though that I topped with a shiny top coat. I'm in love with the matte look. It's so smart and phosisticated! (Sorry, Spongebob moment. Blame my two year old, hahah!) This color is just gorgeous! I wore this particular mani for Christmas! Not exactly a festive polish, but it was a Christmas gift to myself and I fell in love as soon as it dried!

And lastly, my current mani, Julep's Char! Char is a dark blue creamy polish! Three coats, as always. This is another polish I feel is very sophisticated. This is something I could see wearing to work. I'm a HUGE blue fan, and this color is simply amazing! 

As of late, I've been using HK Girl top coat, from Glisten & Glow. Seriously, this is THE BEST top coat I have EVER used!!

Thus, this post is concluded!! ;)
