Pipedream Polish - Lorde Gatsby Collection

Today I have a few polishes from the Lorde Gatsby Collection by Pipedream Polish! Inspiration for this collection were a combination of the movie The Great Gatsby and music by the singer Lorder. My fave at the moment! And must I say....I love Pipedream labels, they're so cute and I loved how these all photographed together!



FEELING SWEET
Made up of frost white and purple glitter with silver-white and violet micro flakies in a blue jelly base. I love this! It's so pretty! Here is two coats plus topcoat.





BALL GOWNS
Made up of pastel lavender, mint, and pink circle and hex glitter with a touch of shimmer in a light gray crelly base. So delicate and dainty looking. Milky white/gray polishes are some of my faves! Here is two coats plus topcoat.





IN THE DARKNESS
Made up of sapphire and purple iridescent glitter with micro silver shimmer in a black base. Here is one coat over black plus topcoat, but it can be opaque on it's own in three coats but I wouldn't recommend that because I found this one too be a teeny bit thick. I couldn't imagine doing three coats.




These are all available now at http://www.etsy.com/shop/pipedreampolish!!! And be sure to follow on Instagram @pipedreampolish for updates and new releases!

Noodles Nail Polish - Holiday Collection


Today I have a new to me indie polish line from Noodles Nail Polish. Today I'll be showing you her Holiday Collection!!!




BERRY FESTIVE
A classic red polish with tiny micro gold flakes. Seriously guys.......this is ONE COAT!!!! Really??? I can't, absolutely stunning.





FROSTED CRANBERRY
A reddish pink creme with a scattered holo. Seriously again...this polish...I just can't. I can't take it! ONE FRIGGIN COAT!!! First swipe and I was floored. You should have seen my reaction. "Holy s............!" AH-MA-ZING! I love a couple of the glitter bombs in this collection but I think I would definitely say this is my FAVORITE!!!! I mean, just look at it! You HAVE to HAVE this one!





'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
A clear based glitter topper with various red, green and gold hex glitter and gold holographic moons. So fun and unique! Here is two coats over "Berry Festive" with a glossy topcoat...

...and you know I can't resist to matte everything, so here it is matte :)





FIRST SNOW
I love this one! A mix of matte white glitters including hexes, circles and snowflakes!!! Also has small iridescent glitters throughout. This is so fun! It really does look like snow! Here is two coats over Zoya "Blu".





OH! CHRISTMAS TREE!
A clear based glitter topper with various green, gold, lilac and red glitters! It reminds me of when you take a slightly blurry picture of a lit Christmas tree and get that bokeh effect from the lights. Paired over a dark green base it looks like a really cool jelly! Here is two coats over Love, Angeline "Emerald City" with a glossy topcoat...

...and matte :)





MR. GRINCH
Another favorite! A clear base glitter topper with various neon green and white matte hexes and red hearts! I wish it didn't so closely match my base so you could see the glitters better but this is just too cute! Two coats over Lime Crime "Pastelchio".




These are all available now at http://www.etsy.com/shop/noodlesnailpolish!!!! Go get 'em!

Doctor Lacquer - Idioms Come But Once A Year Holiday Collection

Hold the phone.........you are NOT ready for the awesomeness that is about to ensue. Today I bring you the 'Idioms Come But Once A Year' Holiday Collection from Doctor Lacquer!!! Are you ready???




PURPLEMINT FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
Is a super squishy eggplant purple jelly with various white and green hexes and turquoise dots! No fishing required at all for this one. Seriously, it's freaking gorgeous! This is quite sheer on it's own, so you will need multiple coats to build up the intensity. Or you can layer it over a similar base color like I have. I have applied 2 coats over Confetti "Purple Parade" plus topcoat...

...and with matte topcoat. Love!





POINSETTIA NO RETURN
Is a strawberry pink jelly with an array of different glitters and (optional) pink snowflakes! How freaking cute is that! Just choose 'Love Snow!' or 'Hate Snow' before you add it to your cart. Again, this is quite sheer and you could pair it over a similar base color. But here I have done three squishy coats on it's own. Jellies are sheer and tend to show smile lines, so if you want an opaque look use an undie.





SILENT AS THE NIGHT
Is a dark blue sparkly jelly with blue, lilac, lavender hexes and dots! And also (optional) snowflakes. My bottle does not contain snowflakes. As you can see in the swatch there are no circles. That is because I could not get any out of the bottle. I think this is due to the fact that I have a mini size bottle, seems this doesn't happen with the full size. Again this is quite sheer on it's own so I have applied two coats over Revlon "Royal" to really make it POP! Shown here with glossy topcoat...

...and here with matte topcoat! UH-MAY-ZING!!! Doesn't even look real!





CLOSE TO YOUR CHESTNUTS
A tan/chocolate thermal jelly that is tan when warm and chocolate brown when cold. With a mix of hex, square and circle glitters. No undies here! I've done three coats plus topcoat.





MISTLETOE THE LINE
A festive thermal crelly that is white when warm and mint green when cold. I love this! It reminds me of the Christmas lights that my grandparents have used for years and years! Those traditional large string lights of only primary colors. Do you know what I'm talking about? Like these! Here I've done three coats on it's own plus topcoat.





UGLY, SWEATER, TEARS
Is a gray/black thermal crelly although I would say this is more of a jelly. It is gray when warm and black when cold. This polish has EVERYTHING! Like those hideous Christmas sweaters (that we all secretly can't wait to pull out of our closets) yakked all over your nails but it WORKS! By no means is this ugly! Hearts, spades, clovers, snow flakes, Mickey heads, bells and showmen! Along with hexes and squares. One of a kind!!! Here I've done four coats on it's own plus topcoat.





There you have it! See...I told you, you weren't ready for the awesomeness! Now head over to http://doctorlacquer.storenvy.com/ and pick up these polishes! You NEED them! Just launched today! Also be sure to follow on Instagram at @doctorlacquer for important updates!
