*Press sample sent for review

If you haven't checked out Nail Nation 3000, you have been living under a rock lol!!! These HAVE got to be some of THE most killer holo polishes I have ever laid my eyes (and nails lol) on!! Holy smokes!!! I am totally blown away with the formula and application. The formula was like silk.... and they apply with this insane ease. All of them were seriously 2 coats and I could honestly have gotten away with just one coat on most of them!! **WARNING** You're about to be blown away with HOLO-NESS..... have your shades ready!!

Color Tint Topcoat.... 
a very sheer lilac tint with super saturated holo. Makes any color go amazing!! I have only ONE coat of this over Wet N Wild Who is Ultra Violet




Fan-Tabulous....
I took this photo right before the sun set.... and I couldn't get over how it looked. Because in the dimming sunset these look exactly like they did in real life. Almost animated!! I HAD to use this photo. If you can catch that much holo in a dim light... you know somebody is doing SOMETHIN' right!! This is a berry holo! 




I <3 Polish Aquatic....
a clear base loaded with hot pink, and blue micro glitters and holo dust! I threw on mine over Wet N Wild A Blank Canvas!! STUNNING!!!! 




Kizmit....
an intense black holo!! Holy AMAZING-NESS!!! I don't even know if I can put this into words!! The photo says it all!




Love Bites....
a DEEP magenta holo.... this is the perfect vampy shade I was looking for




Mysterious....
This one was my ultimate favorite. A black with purple duo chrome holo!! Heck yes!! I almost cried when I had to take this off!! 

Mysterious....
More amazing holo




Pink-Tastic....
this one is a dusty pink holo. Very girly and classy




Take The Crown....
YUM.... I don't own anything like this... it's very unique. A royal blue jelly. This is just gorgeous. Again this was one of the photos I took as the light was running low in the sky lol!! 



I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed swatching and wearing these stunners!! Which one is your favorite!!?

Literary Lacquers beauties!

*Press sample sent for review

I was extremely lucky to have such an amazing package in my po box from the equally AMAZING Amy from Literary Lacquers!! I have always adored her polishes, and the spunky names that come with them. Her formula is divine, and application is always great. I don't know how these lovely Indie ladies do it, but they are sooo  amazing!! LL polishes are nothing short of stunning! (PIC HEAVY!!)


Dandelion Wine....
an amazing gold/yellow duo chrome linear holo with pink shift! A-FLIPPIN'-MAZING!!! This is by far my favorite polish. This is 3 thin coats. In the sun

Strawberry Ice Cream Soma....




Two At The Very Most....
a clear base top coat with khaki gold, black, silver, and white glitters in various sizes and shapes. It puts a spin on the ordinary black and white glitter toppers. I just love it. And the Khaki gold color is super cute! This is 2 thin coats over Strawberry Ice Cream Soma!

Cover Girl 'Catching Fire'

When I ran to the store, I found some awesome new displays at Walgreen's. One of them being the new Cover Girl Catching Fire collection. Which includes 4 polishes, mascara and I think there was some eye shadow. Anywho I grabbed 2 of the polishes and plan on going back, probably tomorrow, for the other 2 at a different Walgreen's. At the one I went to they were selling for $3.49 each, but this week Walgreen's has Cover Girl products as buy one get one 1/2 off! Which makes them $5.25 for the pair. Luckily I had found a coupon for $3 off any 2 Cover Girl products in a Marie Claire issue I had, which brought the total down to $2.25. So in turn I paid around $1.13 for each polish!! Not bad if I do say so myself!!! So I decided I would check my magazines and see if I could find another coupon and I DID!!! So I am off to Walgreen's tomorrow when I run errands to grab the other 2!! Woot! Here are some photos! (when I go back I will nab a photo of the whole display, if they have it, and post it on my facebook page).....

Rouge Red and Pyro Pink


Rouge Red and Pyro Pink....
Rouge Red is a very intense metallic red with insane orange and gold shimmer, this is one SUPER light catching polish.
Pyro Pink is another very intense metallic polish. A magenta with red and gold shimmer. Very vibrant.
Both of these polishes have a sparkle like no other. I think Cover Girl NAILED these polishes. And to bring them out in The Catching Fire collection was a brilliant idea. I am over the moon for these little guys!

Rouge Red and Pyro Pink....
both of these photos are 2 coats of each color and topcoat. The formula was great. The application can be a tricky to a point... because of the very high shimmer they seem to dry rather quickly. Which can cause bald spots if your not paying attention lol! 

I will for sure post the other 2 when I get them and put links on both this post and that post when I get it up, so you can see them all! I couldn't wait tho, these were too pretty, NOT to share!! 
Let me know if you grab any and what you think!!
