NYC New York Color Fashion Queen collection

*Press sample sent for review

NYC New York Color Fashion Queen collection includes some of the most glittery-est polishes I have seen in awhile. There are some gorgeous jewel-toned colors (they all are really) for fall and the application on these blew me away. I thought of NYC being one of the underdogs of mainstream brands. But my mind has changed! They have stepped up their game and produced some off the charts amazing polishes. 6 of these polishes are their 'Crystal Couture' polishes, the other 3 are shimmers and cremes. The Crystal Couture polishes are jelly and metallic polishes with glitter. They all could have been one coat wonders!! I always use at least 2 coats so I did that, just to show how crazy opaque they are. The dry time is seriously a snap. By my second coat the first was pretty much completely dry!!! These all retail for $1.99. I live in a smaller town but find mine at Walmart, and do believe I have seen NYC at K-Mart as well. I will like below to their site for more info in finding stores near you. Ready  for some sparkly.....

Smokey Mountain Lacquers

*Press sample sent for review

I had the pleasure to paint my nails with this divine holo today. Smokey Mountain Lacquers Raging Hormones! Love in a holo bottle! This is a sheerer cherry red intense holo polish. I have 3 coats on in the photos below. The holo in this polish is insane! It is so eye catching. I love it. The application was great. The coverage was good. It's on the sheerer side but very buildable. I also tried some cuticle oil. I have here the Sage/Basil/Mint. It sounded fun so I was super stoked. When I smelled it I was in HEAVEN! This is one of the cleanest scents I have smelled. And with a cuticle oil it's nice to have my hands smell clean and light. I really enjoyed this. It is a light oil, so no heavy greasy feeling, and was very conditioning to my cuticles. What else could you ask for. It does it's job and smells delightful! The bottle is a pretty good size. 13ML, so fairly large. :) and a roller ball to boot! This stuff is great!

Zoya Ultra PixieDust

*Press sample sent for review

Introducing Zoya Ultra PixieDust! 3 incredibly desirable super chunky glitter matte polishes! These colors are right up my alley! I am over the moon about these 3 polishes. With all PixieDust polishes it is best to use 2 coats and no topcoat. They dry to a matte textured finish that is not too rough to be uncomfortable. The removal is fairly simple. A little tougher than a cream polish but not near as hard to remove as a chunky glitter polish. Zoya hit the nail on the head lol! 

Arianna, Noir & Oswin

Square Hue September Sydney box

*Press sample sent for review

Guess what ladies??!! Square Hue is a monthly subscription box of polish! Yup that's right all polish! I am in love. You receive 3 bottles of polish (15ML each) monthly. All the boxes are themed, as a passport to different places to go. All the polish names represent that place or something memorable from that specific place. This box I have is from Sydney! Their September box. The subscription costs $14.99 + $5.00 USPS shipping, totaling $19.99 a month! That is AMAZING for these polishes!  Let's talk formula..... I have to be honest I was very curious about these polishes... The formula tho... holy moly, it is like silk.  They glide on with such ease and are so buttery smooth. I could very easily have only used one coat but I use 2 all the time so I just stuck with what I do! :)  .....and can we just look at these bottles!! They are the freaking cutest.

Crown Street, King Street & Oxford Street

Crown Street, King Street & Oxford Street

Your box comes, in a standard white mailer box... :)

...but the inside has the cute Square Hue logo, white crinkly worm packing, and the box actually has little cut outs where each polish rests on it's travels to you! 

Each box comes with a card (passport) telling you the theme of the box, this one is Sydney, and the colors are on the side with the names. It also has rather large numbers under the theme so you remember what month and year this collection is from! 09.14 = September 2014 Super cute idea! 

Crown Street

An orange metallic polish with gold micro shimmer

The bottle says Crown Drive but everywhere else says Crown Street. I just went with Crown Street. All the bottles also have the month and year the collection is from, for easy remembering. 

King Street 

A deep merlot high gloss cream polish

Oxford Street

A gold metallic polish with orange mirco shimmer. 

These colors absolutely SCREAM Autumn to me. I couldn't have been happier with this box.... especially trying it for the first time.  I.AM.SOLD. Definitely try it out!
