Day 41: Indie Nail Polish - Rainbow Fish from Backwoods Nails

Hello fellow nail lovers!!! Today's post is a COMPLETE PICTURE REVIEW of a wonderful hidden gem in the growing indie nail polish world: Backwoodsnails I am in direct communication with the creator of these polishes and was given this sample to swatch and GIVE a complete review.

The name of this polish is RAINBOW FISH after the very popular childrens book in the 1990's.

PROS:

• Blue holo like glitter polish
• Most sparkly polish YOU HAVE EVER seen!!
• Fast drying formula. I mean really FAST! 
• Will make people notice everywhere you go
• Affordable price. In the indie world, Backwoods nails is one of the MORE AFFORDABLE polish makers there is. 
• Easy to purchase via ETSY
• Wonderful seller and customer support

CONS:

The only con is not having more of this great polish!

I will be buying my own FULL SIZE version very soon.

Day 28: Maybelline Color Show Sequins Nail polish

HEllo everyone! If you are new to my blog, WELCOME. For all the regulars, today is a post on glitter polishes. I wanted to share with you the great deal I found at Big Lots. The Maybelline Color Show Sequin polishes were only $1 EACH! How could I pass up this amazing deal right?!? That was how I reasoned myself to buy them. Truth be told, i have 2 polish racks that fit 90-100 polishes each and both are COMPLETELY FULL! I told myself, "Melanie once both polish racks are full, NO MORE polishes for you." Well dear readers, I have dishonored my declaration, because I now have more polishes than I do rack space... :/ My next step is to sell those polishes that I am not too fond of so ALL my polishes can fit on both racks. 

From the beginning of this polish journey, to now, I told myself ORGANIZATION is key to maintaining this nail polish relationship. I have 2 polish racks, a drawer that hold my nail supplies, and a desk that i can work on while painting my nails. I am going to stick to this layout. The last thing I want, or MY HUSBAND wants, is polishes everywhere all over the house. UGH! No way. Love blogging because I can share these random blabberings with you all and you actually "listen" to me. GuSH :) Thank you for reading this. I shall get off my soapbox now. 

Below is a picture of 3 glitzy polishes by the Maybelline Color Show collection.

If you would like some swatches, be sure to comment and I shall honor your request.

Have a Grand day and dont forget to GlaZe!

Day 26: Sally Hansen Gem Crush Nail Polish Swatch

Hello Nail Polish lovers and all my glitzy fans out there! You will surely enjoy today's Nail swatch featuring the lovely Sally Hansen: Gem Crush Series Polish. You can find Sally Hansen nail polish in almost any local drugstore, chain store etc. I have seen these polishes at my local CVS for up to $9 bucks a bottle!!! YIKES! No thanks. I purchased my polishes in an EBAY (oh how i love you Ebay) Sally Hanson auction lot that came with various series i.e Extreme Wear, Complete Salon Manicure,(check out my Simply Divine post for swatch on that) Insta dry, Sugar Coat and these GEM CRUSH babies you see below.  

 WHICH ONE IS YOUR ABSOLUTE MUST TRY?

Oh look at all these sparkles!!! Do they make you as happy as they do me? I love em all in their own unique way. 

Word of Advice:
These polishes are pretty awesome glitters in a clear polish base and are very opaque after just 2 coats.
The nail swatch pictures above are the polishes themselves, 2 coats, no base color, and as you see they are the perfect glitters to wear alone. No need to pair them up with anything, except maybe a nice handbag and a night on the town.

Hope you enjoy.As always,

         Have a Grand day and don't forget to GlaZe!
