Neener Neener Nails Swatches and Review

Hey!

Can you believe it's the 1st of December already?! I sure can't...time goes by so quickly anymore!

So today I have a newer indie brand to share with you today called Neener Neener Nails. Have you heard of them yet? 

Look at how cute your order will arrive:


First up, is Silver Bullet. I wish I would have been able to capture this one better! There are periwinkle and silver glitters in this one. I layered one coat over Noble Navy from Dr.'s Remedy.



Here is Sparkles. I like this one...very versatile and can go over anything! I layered one coat over Sally Hansen Insta Dri Lickety Split Lime.



Sexy Bish is another versatile one...I love me some gold holo glitter! I layered one coat over Color Club Jewel of a Girl.



Snow Confetti is fabulous! I was amazed at how great the formula was with this polish! I did 2 easy, non- streaky coats to get full coverage.



And finally, here is XOXOXO. I dabbed and fished the hearts on but I think that's a given with shapes. Plus I think the overall look is worth it...so cute! I layered XOXOXO over Color Club Poptastic.




 You can find Neener Neener Nails on Etsy *here* and Facebook *here*. And they are offering free shipping this weekend! Just use code SHIPFREE.

Tell me your favorites!

New Shimmer Polish Swatches!

Hello my lovely readers! 

I'm back from a bit of sporadic posting during the holiday weekend but I've got lots to show you coming up so I should be around for a while!

I'm sure most of you have heard of Shimmer polish, an indie brand. I have previously featured this brand quite a few times now and haven't been disappointed yet! This next group I am about to show you is no exception. So let's get right to it!

This is one coat of Elsa over Dr.'s Remedy Bold Baby Blue. 3 coats would definitely give you a full coverage look.



Next, is Sonia. One coat over Orly Buried Alive. This one is my favorite of this group because of the iridescent glitters in it. They really add something to this already pretty polish!




Jasmine is a fun one. I believe this is 2 coats over OPI Fly. Love the coverage this gets in only 2 coats!




Here is Fanny layered over Zoya Rory in one coat. I love pink, so this is an automatic fave for me!



And finally, we have Jenny. I know I keep saying this, but I love this one! It looks amazing here over China Glaze Blue Year's Eve. What a fun combo of glitters!




What are your favorites of this bunch?

 I previously featured Shimmer *here*, *here*, *here* AND *here* haha. So check those links for even more swatches!

You can shop Shimmer's Etsy shop *here* and on their blog *here* and like them on Facebook *here*!

Shimmer Swatches Part II

Hello!

More Shimmer for you today! Let's get right to it!

First, we have Taylor. This is one coat over Sally Hansen Insta Dri Ruby Rush. I am sort of reminded of the now defunct NerdLacquer Nebula with this, so if you are lemming that Taylor looks pretty close.


Next, is Erica. One coat over Orly Fresh. Very pretty and versatile for layering!


Here is Eva, a pretty cranberry glitter. I layered 1 coat over Dr.'s Remedy Purple Passion.


This is Mary, also layered over Dr.'s Remedy Passion Purple. This one's also got a bit of a tinted base,


Next is Carol, and probably my favorite of the bunch. I'm loving this mix of glitters! I did 2 coats over Color Club Antiquated.


And finally, here is Christina. One coat over Dr.'s Remedy Essential Emerald. I have a soft spot for all teal green polish, so I really like this one!


As always, the formula was amazing on all of these!

Tell me your favorites!

 I previously featured Shimmer *here*, *here* and *here*. So check those links for even more swatches!

Dr.'s Remedy Breast Cancer Awareness Polishes Swatches and Review

Hello polish loving friends! 

It's Friday! That's always a reason to be happy. :)

In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dr.'s Remedy has 3 pink polishes that 10% of each bottle's the sales will go towards Living Beyond Breast Cancer, an organization who insures women who are newly diagnosed, in or beyond treatment, at high risk, or living with metastatic disease are well cared for by offering educational resources and support services relevant to their age and stage of diagnosis. 

I am all for a good cause, so on to the swatches!

Nurture Nude Pink looks more like a peachy pink to me. It's pretty anyway! haha This is 2 coats with a great formula.


Next is Purity Pink. Surprisingly, this is my favorite of the bunch! This is like a "your nails, but better" shade. It's pretty sheer obviously, so it took maybe 3 coats to get this much coverage.


And finally, here is Hopeful Hot Pink. I believe this is 2 coats. Great formula, as is always the case with Dr.'s Remedy!


I think this little collection of pinks is very pretty and the cause is even better!

You can purchase Dr.'s Remedy *here* and be sure to like them on Facebook *here*.

Candy Lacquer Beach Party

Hi lovely readers!!

I am hoping for a pool day today since it's gonna be super hot...can't wait!

I have layering combo to show ya'll today that I really enjoyed wearing. It involves (surprise, surprise) another indie polish from a shop called Candy Lacquer. I fell in love with most of the glitters they have to offer!

So the one I am showing you today is called Beach Party (check out the super cute labels these have!). Beach Party has a mix of brightly colored glitters in square, hex, and bar shapes. I wouldn't call this your typical rainbow glitter though...there is just something different about it.

I layered Beach Party over Dr's Remedy Noble Navy. The formula was fantastic. Just the right amount of glitter to generously cover in one coat. I think the navy color just adds a little something extra to the overall look.





I had a hard time doing this polish justice, so trust that it's got more wow factor in person. :)

Dr.'s Remedy Lively Lilac + Nailventurous Lacquers Rainbow Fish

Hey readers!!

I have another great polish from Nailventurous Lacquers today. This one is called Rainbow Fish and it's the PERFECT name! Doesn't it remind you of the fish from the book? I think so! I layered it over Dr.'s Remedy Lively Lilac...love it! I think the periwinkle glitters are my fave because you don't see those hardly ever in polish.




What do you guys think about this one? Have you been able to get your hands on any Nailventurous polishes yet?

Matte Blues

Hey there!

Today's post is a quick one. This is sort of a mixed up ombre look. I put Hard Candy Matte-ly in Love on the shades that weren't matte already. L-R: Dr's Remedy Bold Baby Blue, Zoya Phoebe, Color Club Foil Me Once, Orly Frisky, Zoya Breezi.



This mani didn't last long because I'm not used to wearing a matte finish and it was bothering me. haha

Girly Nautical Nail Art

TGIF! Have any fun plans for the weekend? 

I feel like it's been FOREVER since I posted nail art...so I am excited for today's mani. Girly skittles manis are probably my favorite to do. I got inspiration for this idea on Pinterest (you can follow me *here*).

I used an assortment of old Bundle Monster plates, our You Mix plates, and a Born Pretty plate for this design. Colors used: Dr.'s Remedy Noble Navy, Orly Au Chanpagne, Orly Luxe, and Color Club Poptastic.


What are your thoughts in skittles manis? Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway if you haven't already! :)

Dr.'s Remedy Jolly and Joy Holiday Collection + Holiday Nail Art


Hi everyone! It's officially the holiday season. How exciting! Did any of you snag some good deals on Cyber Monday? I know I did!

I am showing you the Dr.'s Remedy Jolly and Joy collection today. All of these were opaque in 2 coats, and the colors are original, but still perfect for the season. 

First up is SERENE Silver Glitter. This isn't just any silver glitter though, there is red and blue glitter throughout the formula as well! LOVE this one!



Next is RESOLUTION Red Glitter. This is definitely more of a pink overall, but there is red glitter in this polish as well. 



This is REVIVE Ruby Red. This one is very similar to Sally Hansen Insta Dri Ruby Rush. Not the typical holiday red, but still gorgeous and glowing!


And now for the first of the holiday nail art! All designs come from the stamping plates available in the shop tab. How cute is this reindeer?!


This is PASSION Purple, a nice plum shade with some shimmer. I have nothing like this in my collection. So pretty!


And for stamping...snowflakes! Be prepared to see lots of snowflake manis from me because our stamping plates have TONS of different ones!


And finally, ESSENTIAL Emerald. This is another top pick for me because I love green nail polish and have nothing like this one either. This is sort of a jade green with shimmer.


And for the final nail art look, argyle! Reminds me of an elf. haha


What are your thoughts on this collection? 

I really like it because the formula is great, and the colors are new and exciting for the holidays!

Dr.'s REMEDY Enriched Nail Polish is available for $17 online at www.remedynails.com
