Indie: Smitten Polish Fall/Halloween 2012 spam

Disclosure: The following polishes were provided to me for swatching/review purposes!

Hey guys!

So a couple weeks ago, Noelie (of Noelie's Nails and Smitten Polish) asked me if I'd swatch her newest Halloween collection, since she was going to be out of town for a while and wouldn't have time to swatch them herself.

These will be available on her Etsy shop starting tomorrow, Oct 11. She is restocking many of her other polishes as well, two times over the day (1pm and 7pm Central time).

Hope these swatches are helpful! WTF is my standout favourite. Formula was great on all of them!


Ermahgerd, Candee Corms / Spice Cake / Hocus Pocus / Wicked, Tricksy, False!



Ermahgerd, Candee Corms - lol at the name. 3 coats on its own.





Spice Cake - 3 coats on its own. It's a little more brown IRL, but reminds me of leaves changing colour more than cake ^^





Hocus Pocus - I did 4 coats of this, but only because I have nothing appropriate to layer it over, LOL. This is a very warm purple (like SH Purple Pizzazz, in my mind), but of course it photographs way bluer than it is IRL.





Wicked, Tricksy, False! - my personal favourite!!!


Wicked, Tricksy, False! - 4 thin coats on its own - It is a bit difficult to do 4 coats on its own, but still doable.




Wicked, Tricksy, False! - 2 coats over black jelly - I prefer this much more! It also works well over a black creme, too :)




Hope your October is going swimmingly! I still have lots more indies to post, if you can believe it! Hahaha... *moisturizes cuticles*

Reswatch - Zoya Caitlin

Another quickie post in between indie spam, one of my favourite Zoyas:

Zoya Caitlin - 2 coats, gorgeous formula. A darker version of Essie Cocktail Bling, another favourite of mine <3

I highly recommend getting this polish in your next Zoya order, if you don't have it already!

I hope all my Canadian peeps had a nice Thanksgiving this weekend. I totes forgot about it. I'm a bad Canadian :(

Indie: Polish Revolution "Perfectly Tasteless" Collection swatches

Disclosure: The following polishes were provided to me for review!

It's Friday!!!! To celebrate, I'm going to show you some raunchy polishes from Polish Revolution. The names are kind of a play on the corny/punny names of some nail polish brands... but I think these are funnier :)

The glitter topcoats are on the thicker side, but not difficult to work with. Handies in the Andes can be a little hard to work with if you are trying to do 3 coats on its own - not impossible, but maybe not recommended. I like it best over AA Office, anyway! As always, thin yer indie glitter bombs to your preference!

My two favourites are Glitter Herpes and Handies in the Andes

Lauryn's Etsy store

Handies in the Andies over AA Office




Handies in the Andies over OPI DTMT




Handies in the Andies - 3 coats on its own




Glitter Herpes over Nails Inc Baker St




Glitter Herpes over black jelly franken




Vajazzle over Essie No More Film




Vajazzle over black jelly franken




Puffy Taco over Orly Luxe




Puffy Taco over black jelly franken




Have a good weekend, guys! I'm going to be working OT this weekend, and hopefully I'll have some time to swatch some more indies I have... there is a little pile waiting for me! maybe I can swatch and work at the same time... :D

Reswatch: Zoya Neeka

A reswatch here to break up all the indie posts :)

My original swatch of this from last year was super sloppy because I was so excited to post it.

IRL, the gold shimmer is only really apparent in direct light, but the polish is gorgeous anyways. If you don't already have this, I strongly recommend it for fall/winter! :D

Zoya Neeka - 2 coats, gorgeous perfect formula.
