Ulta3 Glitters - Part 2

Hey there girls! It's time for part two! I hope you're all enjoying these glitters as much I have am! Swatching them was such a blast!

First up I have Over The Rainbow to share. Gah I just fall head over heels for these rainbow glitters. I own way more then any girl really should, but I'm pretty sure many of you can say the same. :p Over The Rainbow is awesome with the color mixture in the clear base, but the brush on this one was wonky and really thin. It was so odd compared to the other five. Manufacturing issue? Probably. This is two coats over Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Racy Creme. 

Next up I have Luck Of The Irish. This, ladies, is my favorite of all six! Why you may ask? Let's see.... it's my favorite color, (GREEEEEEEEN!) it's glitter, and it's named after my second favorite holiday, St. Patty's Day. This bad boy will definitely be on my nails this year! This is two coats over Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Trendy Creme.

Last but not least I have Twinkle Toes to share. This is by far the blingy-est of the six! I LOVE how bright it is! PERFECT for the holidays for sure - maybe over a red? (My mind always turns to Christmas LOL!) This is two coats over Maybelline Zip Fly.

I hope you all enjoyed these as much as I did!

Ulta3 Glitters - Part 1

Why hello there!

I've got something really awesome and special to share with you this weekend - Ulta3 glitters that I just got all the way from Australia from my lovely and generous pal Lauren! I knew I wanted them from the moment they started popping up on blogs and I'm so grateful I can now call them mine! THANKS AGAIN MY LOVE! *hugs polishes to my chest* I decided to break them up into two posts, today I have the first three to share.

First up I have Pot Of Gold. This is one of my favorites of the bunch! All of these glitters are clear-based and are a little on the stinky side. There's various sizes of gold glitter in the mix, and some of them have a nice, slight holo finish to them. This was one of the ones that applied the best after one coat. This is two coats over Hard Candy Normal. SO PRETTY. 

Next up I have Disco Fever, a red multi sized glitter. I love red glitters so much. I think my obsession and love for all things Christmas just brings it out in me. This is two coats over Calvin Klein Tutu.

Last but not least for today I have New Years Eve. MAN I wish I had had this one to wear a few nights ago LOL! Another one of my faves, I love the lightness yet brightness of this blue multi sized glitter and I love it over silver! This is two coats over Illamasqua Glory.

Wait until day two tomorrow! :D

Ulta3 - Burnt Orange - AKA My new Favorite Fall orange

Hi there!

As much I as loved doing Halloween polishes all October, it's nice to get back to my regularly scheduled swatching since I have SO MANY amazing beauties share to share with you all! Oh, the vintage goodness. You just wait. ;P

Today I have a seriously awesome Fall orange to share, Ulta3's Burnt Orange. The lovely Lauren sent this beauty to me a while back in one of our epic swaps. It is seriously amazing for Fall. PERFECTION. The burnt pumpkin orange is only made better by it's amazing shimmer. I'm a big Ulta3 fan, and their formula is always great. This is two coats.

What are your favorite oranges?

Ulta3's - some stunning reds!

Hey ladies!

Sorry I've been so MIA the last few days - Traveling home to Ohio and getting back into the swings of things just exhausted me and threw me for a loop! I've finally had time to rest and swatch so I'm back with my daily posts! Thanks for being patient, loves! <3

Today I have three red Ulta3 polishes from the lovely, lovely Lauren. Ulta3 has become one of my favorite cheapie polish brands, (Wet N Wild, you're the other favrorite!) they have a great color range. Today I have three reds to share and the first is English Rose. This is hands down my fave of the group! English Rose is a cherry red jelly polish loaded with red and hints of gold glass flecks. Smooth as butter, this is three thin coats. 

Next up I have Black Plum. This deepened ruby shimmer polish is just drool-worthy! :) It's not very unique, but it's beauty still knocks me off my feet! I love it - vampy polish goodness! Two coats.

Last but not least, I have Fire Truck, one of their Speed Dry polishes. I love a good classic red creme and this is no exception! Incredibly smooth formula, this is two coats.

Have a great Monday! <3

Layering Fun - Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Hologem & Ulta3 Blue Marlin

HEY.

Who is ready for the first of many of my new Sally Hansen Hard As Nails holo glitters?! I have had this entire collection at the tippy-top of my wishlist FOREVER. Jacqui recently found an eBay seller that has them so naturally I snagged all seven they had. :P Magnet (bright blue holo glitter!) will still be mine one day! Today I have Hologem to share - a clear based polish with two different sizes of silver holo glitter. The layering possibilities are endless! This is two coats over Ulta3's Blue Marlin.

Next up I have a pretty underwear of this mani - Ulta3's Blue Marlin. The lovely Lauren sent me this vibrant medium blue jelly polish from Australia. I love Ulta3 polishes so much - for a cheapie brand they really pack a punch. Two coats.

Enjoy your day! <3

Aussie Brands!

It's that time again ladies! Time to check out some more Aussie awesomeness! 

The lovely Lauren sent me these two beauties with my beloved Chanel Peridot out of the goodness of her big ol' heart. I LOVE all the Aussie brands I've discovered from her, she opened a whole new polish world to me! I have fallen head over heels for Faces of Australia's Barbados collection. This is You Blue Me Away. This is the definition of a PERFECT summer metallic polish. It has such a fresh, light feel to it! I cannot rave enough about the quality of Faces of Australia - it's that amazing. Butter smooth and their brushes are perfect. This is two coats of light blue metallic goodness.

Next up I have a FUN Ulta3 polish, Jelly. Lauren knows me all too well, green? CHECK! Jelly? CHECK! A Dana polish to a T! Jelly is a fresh and fun medium green jelly polish. This is three thin coats. Yum!

Have a wonderful day!

Ulta3 - Twilight Fever & Lagoon

Good Morning!

I am one of the luckiest girls for the friends that I've made through polish and my blog. Most recent I met the lovely Lauren from Australia. She is just amazing and we have really formed a sweet friendship that I'm grateful for. I've always wanted to try Ulta3 polishes and this lovely gal hunted down a whopping ten for me! Her big heart knows no bounds. <3 Thanks again, Lauren! 

First up I have Twilight Fever, a dupe for Chanel Paradoxel and Revlon Perplex. Twilight Fever is a grey-toned deep plum polish with pink/violet shimmer that really makes this polish what it is! The shimmer is more violet then pink, but in certain light it takes on the more pink. This is two coats. I really enjoy Ulta3's formula for being a cheap-y polish and can't wait to swatch the rest of my bunch!

Next up I have Lagoon to share. This is the one Ulta3 that Laurent picked out for me to add in our swap. Great pick, girl! I know I'm one of the only polish addicts on the planet we enjoy frost polishes, but I love the delicate lime green frost in Lagoon! I didn't realize how sheer thee two coats were until I uploaded these pics, so next time I'm going with three.

Do you have any Ulta3's?
