Different Dimension Swatches Part I

Hey readers!

I hope you are having a fab Wednesday. Halfway through the week! 

I've got some eye candy from Different Dimension for you today! I have been admiring this shop from afar for a while now and am so happy to finally get the chance to try some out as well as share them with you. I will be featuring Different Dimension's products in 3 separate posts so it doesn't get too overwhelming (in a good way! haha).

Ok! First, is Sparkles Like Edward: a sheer but buildable shimmery base with the cutest combo of small glitters. I did one effortles coat over Essie Navigate Her. This polish will only be around until 11.16, which is the release date of the final Twilight movie...you don't want to miss out on this one!

Shimmery bases like this are my weakness!

Warm Fuzzies is the perfect holo for fall! It's milk chocolate brown. I was able to get full coverage in 2 coats. Here it is in indirect light:

And direct light:

Here, we have My Bear. This is also a milk chocolate-y base but with shimmer as well as bronze and orange glitters. Another great choice for the season! I pretty much had full coverage in one coat with this one which is awesome.

So besides shimmery bases I love cool toned teal colors, so Un-Teal We Meet Again is an automatic fave of mine! And the formula was perfect. This is one coat of it over Kleancolor Pastel Teal. No placing extra glitter or anything...if only all glitters could apply like this one!

Next is Spencer. This is made up of superfine glitters in a slightly red tinted base. This can be layered in one coat or full coverage in 3, which is what I did here. I love the effect the holo glitters in this polish have. Definitely a standout!

And finally, we have Fall Me Maybe...cute name! I layered one coat over Banana Republic Plum Pudding. This one looks to have dried a little bumpy, but that's nothing that some Gelous can't fix! I love this color combo...obviously perfect for fall. :)

Here's a little recap of my swatches:

Do you have any favorites from the group?

Different Dimension can be purchased on Etsy. And to be in the know on all things Different Dimension, like the Facebook page! And for a bit of incentive, there is a 20% off code good till midnight tonight. Find it on the Facebook page! ;)

Stayed tuned for Part II coming soon!

*Product was sent to me for review in exchange for my honest opinions.

Happy "Holo"-ween!

Hello again!

I have the actual mani I am sporting for Halloween to show you tonight! I used Layla Hologram Effect in Flash Black with China GLaze GR8 as an accent. Dustin did some fun stamping too. I loved how it turned out!

Hope you all have a fun night! I will be posting some pics maybe tomorrow of my Halloween festivities!

Jade Holo Delirio Rosa + Nail Art

Happy Saturday readers! I hope you all have fun plans!

Today I am showing you a polish from Brazil. The brand is called Jade Holographic and the shade is Delirio Rosa. It's an amazing bright pink holo!! I have always wanted a holo this color so this was love at first sight...the best part is it's only $7.50 from Ninja Polish! 

Continuing the holo theme, I used China Glaze DV8 to stamp this peacock looking design.

And because I couldn't stop there, I added some dots using China Glaze OMG. Using polishes that all have a holo finish make for some pretty cool nail art, I think!

Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway of Zoya Myrta and Tracie *here*!

Holo Cloud Mani a la Nailside

Hey hey!

I have been wanting to try this look for quite some time from Nailside, who is super talented at original nail art. Definitely give her a follow if you haven't already! The look I am showing today is by far her most popular look, the cloud mani. I decided to put my own twist on it by using holos from the China Glaze OMG collection: DV8, 2NITE, and OMG. I think the end result is pretty awesome!

Love it! How many of you have tried the cloud mani?

Milani 3D Holo Gradient

Hey everyone! How are you all today? I have been running around shopping and enjoying NOT being at home! haha

I found the Milani Hi-Tech at CVS the other day and I happened to have my other Milani 3Ds with me on my trip so I had Dustin create this "snowcone" mani.

This is Milani Digital, Cyberspace, and Hi-Tech. I love these even if they aren't totally linear. I'm sure you guys know by now I am a sucker for anything sparkly!

This is in more direct sunlight:

What do you guys think? I want to try this with other holos! <3

China Glaze LOL

Hello hello! I have pretty holo eye candy for you today! There are so many pics because I just couldn't decide on what to post...they are all so holo-y!! :)

This is LOL from China Glaze's OMG collection. It's a grape purple with a linear holographic. This is 2 coats. I did notice that using a base coat made this a little tricky to apply.

I used China Glaze L8R G8R and DV8 for this design. I also used a dotting tool to make the dots. Simple and fun! I really like how the holo all blends together within the design. I didn't use a topcoat and I usually don't with holos. I will be interested to see how much wear I get out of this.

Thank you for reading...ya'll are awesome! :)

China Glaze GR8

Hey hey! How is everyone? I don't know about you, but I am going crazy with all these new collections coming out and no money to buy them! haha Particualrly Zoya and China Glaze fall one's!!

So here is a random swatch for ya...China Glaze GR8 from the OMG collection. This seems to be the least popular one in this collection considering you can still find this online for original retail prices. Even if it's not the most popular, I think it's really pretty! The color could have been more intense had I done another coat, this is 2. Reminds me of Zoya Goldie but holo!

Hope you enjoyed the holo goodness! Have a great weekend!! <3

Milani HD Cyberspace

Morning all! :) Just a swatch today...Milani HD Cyberspace. This is a pretty holo polish...not as strong as ChG OMG, or even Kaleidoscopes though. The flash didn't bring out as much holo as my desk lamp did, but pictures don't turn out true to color with that lighting. And there hasn't been a whole lot of sunlight lately so maybe I should have waited to wear this polish??

Well here it is anyways!

This is 3 coats...I was expecting the formula to be similar to OMG polishes, but it was not as fast drying as those which I didn't like. It also had a shiny smooth finish rather than the "flat" finish of the OMGs.

Thanks for reading! <3

Kleancolor Holo Yellow + Blog Awards + New Blog Poll

Hey everyone! Here is a simple mani that kinda goes outside of my comfort zone because of the super chunky glitter. I don't want to look like a 5th grader! haha

This is before the chunky glitter. Kleancolor Holo Yellow is good in 3 coats and has scattered holo pieces that really stand out. 

I bought this chunky glitter from Forever 21. I think it's name is Mardi Gras. I have a love hate relationship with these chunky glitters...I can't seem to fully embrace them, but I can't say no either! haha

I was graciously given 2 blog awards recently. The first from Laura at Clothes Cosmetics and Chat. 

The rules of this award are:

*Thank the person who gave you this award

*Write a post about it

*Pass it on to 10 bloggers you think really deserve it and send them a message to let them know

I was also given this award by Whitney from Elemental Styles. Since I am short on time lately and I have seen these awards circulating around for a while I'm not going to tag anyone specific but will repost the details for anyone who wants to pass them on!

Here are the Top 10 award rules:

1. Thank the person who tagged you and link to their blog. 

2. Put the Top 10 Award logo on your blog. 

3. List your top 10 cosmetics.

4. Choose 10 bloggers to tag, link to their blogs, and let them know.

Here are my top 10 cosmetics...in no order other than how they come to mind! ;)

1) Loreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Primer

2) Elf Mineral Booster

4) Elf Studio Eyebrow Kit

5) Dior Diorshow Mascara

6) ELF Studio Tinted Moisturizer

7) Zoya Nail Polish

8) Elf Essentials Eyelid Primer- Just as good as UD and Smashbox!!

9) Bath and Body Works Lip Glosses

Obviously, I am an ELF Fan! I really believe that some of their stuff rivals or trumps high end brands. What do you think of my top 10??


Thank you both!

And finally...if you have made it through this monstrous post...I have added a new poll to my blog. Let me know which untried polish you would like to see! I will try to make this a weekly thing. Until next time...<3
