Darling Diva Polish- review and SWATCHES!

Happy ass Saturday Zombies! (or what's left of it!)

This evening I am stoked to bring to you Darling Diva Polish, an Etsy based indie nail polish company! 

Fyrinnae Samhain 2012!

Zombies!

Unless you live under a rock (which is a nice air conditioned place) you know that Fyrinnae just recently released their new Samhain 2012 colors! I was able to snag 3 that caught my eye the most and as always received a free sample with my order that is part of the collection as well.




(Shade descriptions from the Fyrinnae website)

Sultry Samhain: Stunning metallic bright burgundy, gleaming and sparkling with a bit of lighter pink. Closer to light or at an angle, and it warms to pink to an orange-gold hue.


Mermaid Masquerade: Bright, rich, shimmering royal blue. Moved closer to light or at an angle, and it turns purple to pink, though still retaining hints of blue. Not lip-safe.


Mystical Hedgehog: Appears as a vibrant, shimmering purple with a turquoise-green highlight at a distance, but changes to a warmer purple to pink at an angle or close to light.


Mischievous Sidhe (free sample): Brilliant, glittering, shining, semi-metallic gold. Yellow and rich like real 24 karat, with no beige or bronze hues. Appears to be a mustard shade in the jar, but is metallic and sparkling once applied. Sidhe is pronounced "shee".


Everything swatched over Pixie Epoxy.



Mystical Hedgehog and Mischievous Sidhe are my favorite from this bunch. Mystical Hedgehog has tons of blue sparkles throughout the royal purple base, while Mischievous Sidhe is a glowy sparkly white gold that is gorgeous and pigmented! I love the baby blue flash in Mermaid Masquerade and Sultry Samhain has loads of pink sparkles in the burgundy base! These bad boys shine like crazy in the sunlight!

As always, I love me some Fyrinnae!

Rainbow Polish Cupcakes and Lollipop!

Zombies!

Just another week, but this week it's FALL! I love this time of year so so hard. It also helps that the Mists of Pandaria just released today and my husband happened to pre-order it for me a while back. I figured I'd have to wait until my birthday in October! Fun surprises are fun! Is anyone else playing World of Warcraft?

Last week I posted a review on Rainbow Polish as indie nail polish company on Etsy. You can see that post here. Today I have the continuation to that post. Today I'm swatching "Cupcakes" and "Lollipop" for you. I am insanely in love with Cupcakes. (The polish version too. haha)


First up: "Cupcakes"!

The macro shot.


"Cupcakes" of China Glaze "For Audrey"






I just love this glitter! I love the various sized glitter pieces, and especially the light pink squares. I love the tiny blue and pink glitter scattered without the polish. I love the white hexagonal pieces. I couldn't feel the glitter chunks on my nails after applying Sech Vite either. I am just in love with this! It looks amazing over a black base as well!

Next we have "Lollipop"!

The macro shot.


"Lollipop" over Essie "Blanc"


This reminds me SO much of those gigantic jawbreakers back when I was a kid in the 80's/early 90's. 


"Lollipop" was the mini sized bottle I received with my order. It is mini, but not small enough to make you wonder why even bother! This is another fun glitter with bright and different sized glitter throughout. So much fun and so many possibilities with this glitter! Again, once Sech Vite was applied, I could not feel the glitter on my nails.

I'm loving my glitter from Rainbow Polish and can't wait to purchase some more to play with, especially THIS one! Head on over to the Etsy shop and grab some bling for yourself!

Raspberry Smoke, LOTD!

Zombies!

It's almost FRIDAY! I hope you've all had a nice week! I took a nap this afternoon and had a dream about the look I'm about to post. In my dream I was insistent on finding a "raspberry" colored eyeshadow for the lid. I woke up and immediately implemented this look. I love it so much! It's SO sparkly!
