Tawdry Terrier 'Autumn in the Barkshires' collection!


Happy ass Monday Zombies!

I have 3 pretty fantastic nail polishes to show you all tonight from Tawdry Terrier! I was sent 3 new colors from the 'Autumn in the Barkshires' collection!

I received:

Sassy Squirrel: a molten copper glass fleck polish with gold, copper, and red shimmer
Pawsome Pines: a pine green glass fleck polish with heavy blue and green shimmer
Hahvahd Hound: crimson metallic glass fleck polish with a mix of red, orange, and golden yellow glitter

What amazing packaging.


Each polish arrived in an individual box with tissue paper wrapped around it.

Each color swatched with two coats of polish.




How amazing is Pawsome Pines? I mean really...it's gorgeous! A blackened teal with blue and silver glass flecks? Be still my heart! To my eye, Sassy Squirrel is a fantastic old gold scattered with red and gold sparkles. In the sun, it shines like no other! Hahvahd (Harvard) Hound is a fun crimson color with gold and red hex glitter pieces. A little on the chunky side, but it becomes opaque with just 2 coats. As always, Tawdry Terrier's packaging is beautiful and looks like great care was taken in the presentation. Everything arrived safe and sound and in a timely manner. I adore the bottles and labeling and overall, the whole experience with this company.

This entire collection is beautiful! I'm totally eyeballing Poke a Nose Purple and Howling at the Moon!  Each bottle of polish is $10.00 (USD) or you can get the entire Autumn in the Barkshires collection for $60.00.

Do you see something from this collection that you can't "bark" to live without? ;)

Milani's "Retro Glam" collection swatches!


Good morning Zombies!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I sure did. :D

Today I have Milani's new Retro Glam limited edition collection swatched for you. This collection comes with 5 pretty pastel (with the exception of Raspberry Delight) colors and a "sprinkles effect" topcoat called Sprinkles. I used the nail swatch wheel for these swatches but plan on doing lots of mani's with them in the coming weeks. Follow me on Instagram @makeupzombie as that's where I post most of my looks and mani's these days! 

(As always, be sure to click images for maximum awesome.)





All the pretty colors!


With "Sprinkles" on top!

Mint Chip and Raspberry Delight are my favorite colors from this collection.  Each color was pretty opaque with one coat with the exception of Creamy Pistachio; it took about 3 coat to reach opaque. Almond Bliss is a great alternative to white nail polish and it's an eggshell/off white color and makes the white in the glitter still stand out. Mint Chip is a fun dark mint green. 

I did a Mint Mani for Talia using Mint Chip.


These nail polish seem to dry fairly quickly which is a plus. I like this glitter top coat over Carnival (which is part of the Fantastical Plumage collection) as the glitter spreads evenly and is very build-able. There are several sizes of glitter in this top coat and are black and white in color. Retro Glam is a fun collection.

Retro Glam retails for $4.49 (Sprinkles is $4.99) per bottle but will vary from location. This collection is Limited Edition. 

Do you see a color from this collection you adore?

Rainbow Polish "Escape" Collection- 3 new shades!


Good evening Zombies!

Rainbow Polish- and Etsy based indie nail polish (all hand blended) company recently came out with a new collection called the Escape Collection. I was lucky enough to receive 3 new shades from said collection to swatch for you all. And yeah, I squee'd when I opened the package.

Please be sure to click images for maximum awesome! 







I received the following polish for review: (descriptions from Rainbow Polish Etsy store)

Stinging Jellyfish: Floating through the sea then OUCH!
This polish reflects the soft colors of the jellyfish and tiny bar and slice glitters just like tentacles. Pinks, blues lavenders and more.

Wild Orchid: Pretty pink polish that reminds me of bright tropical orchids. This polish has a fuchsia pink jelly base with micro shimmering glitter, dark pink glitters and lavender glitter.
Tahitian Waters: My "one day" vacation place is Tahiti. The waters are so beautiful in all the photos I have seen.  The light blue waters and pink sunsets inspired this polish.




All together now!


I am in LOVE with Stinging Jellyfish. Over black, this polish is freaking amazing. I sponged it on my nails when I did these galaxy inspired nails! The different color and sizes of glitter just pop over the darker base. It sparkles and shines in the sunlight! Wild Orchid is a beautiful hot pink base filled with fun  blue and pink glitter and became opaque in 2 coats and is better on its own as opposed to covering a dark base. Tahitian Waters is a gorgeous light blue based polish with tons of fun pink and silver glitter. This polish takes longer to become opaque on it's own, but the glitter over a dark base pop instantly.

Wild Orchid with Tahitian Waters on accent nail. 3 coats of each..


The Escape Collection is awesome! You can purchase each polish alone for $8.50 (USD) plus shipping or purchase the entire collection for $49.00 (USD) plus shipping. I suggest you run and purchase at least one of these bad boys now! ;)
