HB Beauty Bar: Color Club Desert Valley Collection Swatches + Review

- PROVIDED FOR REVIEW - 

Hey guys! It's been about a month since my last post, which is really crazy - I promise I will post a blog update on everything you guys have missed me posting on Instagram and YouTube (which I have been active on!) soon, but with me moving (today!!) from New Jersey to Georgia, I just haven't had time to sit down and write a blog post.

Anyway, today I'm sharing with you a new Color Club collection from HB Beauty Bar called the Desert Valley Collection. It's been so long since I've swatched a full collection, and I have really missed it, so it's nice to be back (hopefully I will be back to posting on a regular schedule again soon, although it'll probably be once a week instead of every day.)

This collection features seven gorgeous cremes:

Glam Polish Knockout Collection Part 2: Swatches and Review

- PROVIDED FOR REVIEW -

Hey guys! Today I'm back with another review from Australia based indie Glam Polish, with their Knockout Collection Part 2. You might remember me reviewing their original Knockout Collection a couple of months ago - I was in love with the strong holographic finishes! And the second part of the collection is just as stunning. Today I'm reviewing five out of the nine polishes - two ultra holos, and three that are packed with chunky holo glitter.

I Scream Nails: New Polishes for 2015

- PROVIDED FOR REVIEW -

Hi guys! I am finally back from Las Vegas and definitely feeling jet lagged - but luckily I have these pretty new shades to share with you from I Scream Nails, an Australian brand I was first introduced to in the beginning of the year with their original collection. I totally loved their adorable bottles and the incredible formulas, and I was so thrilled to try out their four new colors!

LAQA & Co. Gold Fleck + Green Manicure Duo Nail Art

- PROVIDED FOR REVIEW -

Hi guys! Today I'm sharing a quick and easy look using a new-to-me brand called LAQA & Co. They are known for their convenient on-the-go products and adorable packaging - each box of nail polish contains unique art from an emerging artist.

The product I'm reviewing today is their Gold Fleck Manicure Duo, which contains two polishes - a turquoise creme, and a glitter shard top coat. (Fun fact: I actually thought this product was called "gold fleek" - still not 100% sure what "fleek" means but I keep seeing it everywhere! Haha!)

Delush Polish Spring to Conclusions Collection Swatches + Review

- PROVIDED FOR REVIEW -

Hello guys! I know I am super behind on posting these - as I mentioned a couple days ago, my computer has just been so slow so editing photos and writing blog posts is taking a really long time lately. But not to worry, I've got a new one on the way!

Anyway, today I've got the Delush Polish Spring to Conclusions collection that's new for Spring 2015. This set contains six gorgeous spring crellies packed with colorful glitters.

I am absolutely in love with the Delush crelly ("crelly" = somewhere between an opaque creme and a sheer jelly polish!) formula - application is so smooth and surprisingly opaque! Plus, I didn't have to fish for ANY glitters in this collection - they were on my brush easily without even storing the bottles upside down (although I do recommend doing that with all glitter polishes!) Anyway, let's get into it:

- PROVIDED FOR REVIEW -

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. Today I've got more swatches for you, this time from a new-to-me brand called Nubar. I'd heard of them before, but this was my first experience trying them out! A few fun facts about Nubar - they're 5-free and vegan, and their collections come in adorable little carrying cases. The collection I have today is their new Spring 2015 shades, the POP Collection, which consists of eight bright cremes - four warm tones, and four cool tones.

- PROVIDED FOR REVIEW -

Hi guys! I'm so excited about today's post - I have swatches of the new OPI Spring/Summer 2015 collection, the Hawaii Collection, which is available from HB Beauty Bar. Read on to see my opinions of all 12 shades, and a discount code for your purchase!

(PS: I got bored of my bottle shot preview pics, so I decided to try out this Wondrously Polished inspired collage image - what do you guys think of it?)

As I mentioned, this collection consists of 12 bright shades in a variety of finishes, all with a glorious spring/summer feel - perfect to wear in hopes of warmer weather! It feels like it's been forever since I've swatched OPI shades, and I missed how easy they were to apply, with their incredible formulas and wide brushes. Anyway, keep reading to see individual swatches!

HB Beauty Bar: Color Club Love Tahiry Collection Review

Hi guys! I know I've been absent on the blog for a few days, but life just got in the way and I had absolutely no time to sit at my computer and edit my photos, even though I do have a ton of swatches to share with you all! Anyway, today I have to show you the Love Tahiry Collection by Color Club, a set of seven Valentine's Day themed polishes designed by Tahiry Jose (I don't know who she is, but a quick Google search tells me she's an actress!) I know Valentine's Day has passed but, these polishes seem appropriate for any time of year to me.

Anyway, I've got a deluxe edition Valentine's Day trio from Femme Fatale to share with you today - I know Valentine's Day is over, but these shades are definitely not just for the holiday! The trio is no longer available from Femme Fatale, but they are still available from a ton of other stockists, which I will list at the end of the post.

The Digit-al Dozen Does Patterns on Patterns: Stripes on Stripes (and Cirque Doyers Review)

 Can you believe it? We’ve finally reached the end of Digit-al Dozen week! My final look for you is my favorite of the entire week – I’ve been saving it for last! I absolutely love how intricate striping tape can make a manicure look, and I think it looks sophisticated in this color scheme (which is, of course, red and white for Valentine’s Day!)

NCLA Valentine's Day Heart Glitters: Swatches + Review

Hope everyone is having a great lazy Sunday today! We're anticipating more snow here in New Jersey, but I have a feeling it won't be as bad as the forecasts say. Either way, I've got more fun Valentine's Day nail polishes from you, this time from NCLA! You all remember how much I loved their last glitter topper - well, today I'm showing you two out of five of their new heart shaped glitter toppers for Valentine's Day.

KBShimmer Spring 2015 Full Collection Swatches + Review

Hi guys! I'm so excited to finally share with you the latest from KBShimmer - their Spring 2015 Collection! This collection features twelve beautiful new polishes that'll have you excited for winter to end.

In this new collection, there are seven crellies, four holos, and one creme, all in gorgeous pastel shades that are perfect for spring. The formulas on all of these were generally very easy to work with, and I just love their wide flat brushes for easy application. For all swatches below, I used KBShimmer base and top coat. Let's get started!

piCture pOlish Electric Dream and Lagoon: Swatches + Review

Hello everyone, and happy Friday! Today I have a few shades from piCture pOlish to share with you. I just recently tried out their polishes for the first time, and I fell in love, so I'm so thrilled to have more swatches to share with you.

The two shades I am showing you today are both collaboration shades, and as expected, the formulas on both are amazing. Be warned, this post is a bit photo heavy, but I just loved these polishes so much that I kept taking more photos!

China Glaze Road Trip Collection, Part 1: Road Trip Ready

Hey guys! I'm pretty excited about today's post - I was lucky enough to receive the entire China Glaze Road Trip Collection from Live Love Polish! I've divided the collection of twelve polishes into two posts, and today I am happy to show you the "Road Trip Ready" half of the collection, which consists of six beautiful spring shades! (You can see my swatches of the second half of the collection here.)

Out of these six polishes, three contain a subtle rose gold shimmer, and the other three are glossy cremes. As is expected of China Glaze, the formulas were wonderful! The colors are definitely perfect for the upcoming season - who doesn't love pastel shades in the spring? Anyway, let's get into it:

I Scream Nails: Collection Swatches + Review

I am so excited about today's swatches! I Scream Nails is actually group of nail artists based in Australia, who work not only in salons but also paint nails at various events (they actually do some amazing nail art) - and now, they've got their own line of gorgeous polishes! Today I'm showing you their line of six bright, beautiful shades that come in adorable ice cream cone shaped bottles.

I know, I know - I can't get over how cute these are, either. When I first got these in the mail, I figured they were such an exciting novelty item with the bright colors and the funky shape that the polish inside had to be pretty lame, right? WRONG! I was shocked at how impressive these polishes were! Application was a breeze, and these neons applied like any other high quality creme - not to mention, they were all practically opaque in just one coat. I am finding myself completely obsessed with not only the packaging and adorable bottles, but the colors and the formulas as well. Let's take a closer look:
