Review: SUPER BLACK Lacquers - Hello, Officer

Sponsored

Today I have another gorgeous polish from SUPER BLACK Lacquers to share with you, called Hello, Officer.  I am so glad that ND added this polish into my review box, as its such a gorgeous shade of blue.  I don't think I have a blue like it at all.  Some of them are slightly closer but still either a tad darker or lighter to it.  It is wonderful to see that SBL is also putting out creme nail polishes out there to go along with their holos and glitters.

If you aren't really into glittery Indie nail polishes hopefully you're into creme Indies like this one.

Hello, Officer is a pretty blue creme, that dries in a semi-matte finish.  What I mean by semi-matte is that it has a sort of rubbery glossy sort of finish.  Still pretty nonetheless.



The brushes with SUPER BLACK Lacquers' bottles aren't wide so ever.  So if you're into doing nail art with just the brushes from the bottles you'll love the ones that are inside SBL.

Hello, Officer's formula was thinner than I expected it to be, but I notice I always encounter that with finishes that are like that: rubbery gloss finish.  It glided on real smoothly.  It took about two coats to obtain opacity with this polish.

You could either wear it with the rubbery gloss sort of finish or place a top coat over it.  OR you could create a nail art using a top coat to make the design.

SBL sells their polishes for $12 a piece which is actually a wonderful deal considering each bottle is 18ml.  Hello, Officer is categorized in the "Solid" section.

So make sure to check out SUPER BLACK Lacquers when you get a chance!  You might find something that could be a great addition to your stash!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Review: SUPER BLACK Lacquers - Sweet Tooth

Sponsored

Today I would like to share with you SUPER BLACK Lacquer's gorgeous glitter polish called Sweet Tooth, which I received from ND for review purposes.  SUPER BLACK Lacquers is still a fairly new Indie nail polish line, and I am sure they will become super popular in no time.  If you have not checked out ND's nail polishes yet you are missing out!  She has awh-mazing holos, glitters, and solids (shimmer & creams). SUPER BLACK Lacquers is a 4-free meaning it does not carry Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, and Formaldehyde Resin.

You might of heard of ND (Natalie Dee) before her comics t-shirts.  You might of seen her work floating around on Tumblr.  I didn't realize she was that same Natalie Dee til I read someone's post mentioning her comic drawings.  So check her other sites as well!  Not to mention, she was very helpful and über friendly!

So back to Sweet Tooth!

I was so excited to have received Sweet Tooth in my review package.  The above image was taken in different lighting areas.  I could not stop gazing at how gorgeous the glitters sat in the violet mixture.

Straight out of the box!  How gorgeous does that look in the sunlight?  As I was taking my pictures my mom stated that it reminds her of Ube (a Filipino dessert).  haha silly mom!

Review: Ooh La Lacquer - Beware of Plastic

I have another one of Ooh La Lacquer Indie nail polishes to show you.  This one has actually been a lemming of mines ever since I saw it, but they are currently sold out.  BUT do not worry!  My lovely friend just informed me these will be restocked!  I just had to show you this since I have been wanting it for such a long time now.  Nastassia must of read my want list, cause she included it in my review box!

Beware of Plastic is one of Nastassia's Mean Girl Collection that is packed with small hex neon matte yellow-green, blue-ish turquoise, and slightly bigger hex of red. 

Doesn't it look so pretty sitting in the bottle?  Just a wonderful assortment of mixture!

Review: Lavish Polish - Color Crush

Purchased By Me with Blogger Discount

Today I would like to share with you an Indie nail polish from Lavish Polish, Color Crush.  First off let me tell you the owner of Lavish Polish, Emely, is über nice!  She was so helpful and friendly as I was deciding what item to purchase.  Not to mention the spelling of her name, ROCKS!  I was totally excited when I found it in my mail box.  OH YEAH!

All of her products are 3-free.  If you are unsure what 3-free is, it means that they do not contain toluene, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthalate.

Don't those neon glitters look pretty?  Color Crush comes in two sizes a full (15ml) for $8 or a mini for $4.

[CLOSED] Review: Joby Nail Art - California Nail Sticker + a Mini GIVEAWAY!

Sponsored

Hello sweetie!  I received a sample of nail art stickers from Joby Nail Art, for review purposes, and I decided to go with the California nail sticker one.  For obvious reasons!  They were kind enough to give me an extra to do a giveaway with.  So instead of just having the other nail art sticker, I added a little bit more.  Details will follow after the review.

Joby Nail Art is an online shop that carries a variety of colorful and unique nail art stickers at a very budget friendly cost.  All of their domestic shipping is free!  The Joby Nail Art website is very user friendly!  Everything is nicely organized into sections & you won't get easily lost.

As I stated earlier I decided to pick the California nail art sticker, since well I am a Cali girl!  A nice way to show some love for California with nail art.

Review: Ooh La Lacquer - Hypnotize

Sponsored

Today I get to share this wonderful Indie nail polish called Hypnotize.  It's from my dear friend Nastassia's shop, Ooh La Lacquer, who sent it to me for review purposes.

Hypnotize is a black and white small hexagon-roundish glitter that has a clear base.

You could either wear this by itself or over a base color/design.  If you want to use it by itself to achieve opacity it will take about 2 to 3 coats.  Keep in mind if you are applying it thin, meaning swiping the excess off, it will take more coats to achieve it.

The above picture was with two coats only by itself.  It glides on smoothly, and you do not have to fish for the glitters.  It also has an amazing dry time!

For this look I actually wanted to do a full nail look of it.  Just to show you how mesmerizing this black and white glitter could be!

Hypnotize is coated by itself except for my ring finger, which has NYC New York Color - Sidewalkers as a base color and only one coat of Hypnotize.  It looks like it has so much depth when you wear it by itself.  It just draws you in and makes me think of either black pepper and salt mixture or cookies & cream.

All of Ooh La Lacquer bottles are full sized at 15ml and BIG 3-Free.  Not to mention Nastassia sells them only for $5 a piece!  So if you are interested in trying an Indie polish make sure to give her line a shot!  

What do you think of Hypnotize?  Have you tried one of her polishes yet?

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Review: Ooh La Lacquer - Grosky lil' Beotch

Sponsored

Recently my sweet friend Nastassia, owner of Ooh La Lacquer, sent me over some of her Indie polishes for me to review.  I was so happy when I received it, and was so distracted by the glitter that circulated within the bottle, I put all the other nail polishes I got that day to the side.

So for today I decided to show off to you Grosky lil' Beotch, which is part of her Mean Girl collection.  The above picture are at different angles I took of the bottle.  Look at that glittery yummyness!

What I loved about this Grosky lil' Beotch other than the glitters, is that you could build up on this product.  You could either keep piling up on it to achieve the look you want or use just a little bit.  It's totally up to you!

Review: LINGMEI Long-Lasting Two-Headed Dual-Use Eyeliner

Sponsored

Today I have an interesting item that I received from KKCenterHk for review purposes.  It's a LINGMEI Long-lasting Two-headed Dual-use Eyeliner [LM-1950], that has a nifty packaging.

How pretty does that look?  I am such a sucker for cute packaging and the gradient between the blue to yellow is just a great addition to it.

Review: 3 Concept Eyes Lipstick in Shade 6

Sponsored

Today I would like to share with you a 3 Concept Eyes lipstick in Shade 6 that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  Have you seen the pictures of the 3 Concept Eyes lipstick set BornPrettyStore released yet?!

There are two sets that were released:

• Series A - 12 shades to pick from
• Series B - 12 shades to pick from

The Shade 6 I have received for review is part of the Series A collection.  These lipsticks were something I have been wanting to see BornPrettyStore carry.  The shades are so wonderful and they did an awesome job finding a supplier who carried.  YAY!

Isn't that cardstock packaging look so eye catching?  I was not expecting it to look like that at all.  When I picked the lipstick to review, I was expecting either a simple sleek box that matched the tube packaging or just the tube itself.  Oh my was I wrong!  On three sides of the package there is a picture of lips with the words "3 Concept Eyes" upon the lips.  What brilliant packaging for a lipstick product!  

Review: CUICU Flashing Diamond Powder Eyeshadow (Coffee, Barbie, & Blue Violet)

Sponsored

Today I would like to share with you three CUICU Flashing Diamond Eyeshadows that I received from KKCenterHk for review purposes.  KKCenterHk carries a wide range of products.  To name just a few: nail polish, eyeshadows, blush, nail art decorations, water decals, wigs, and so much more.  You could honestly find yourself lost with all the products that they have.

The shades that I decided to pick were:

• 23 Blue Violet
• 19 Barbie Pink
• 25 Coffee

CUICU Flashing Diamond Eyeshadows are one of my faves when it comes to single eyeshadows.  The size of the pan, the cost, and not to mention the pigmentation does wonders on a girl who loves eyeshadows.

Review: Tribal Colours Glitter - #13

Sponsored

Today I would like to share with you a Tribal Colours Glitter nail polish in Shade 13.  I received this from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  I was instantly drawn into Tribal Colour's bottle shape, since it looked different from the usual slender/fatty type of bottles that sit in my nail polish stash.  How the glittered nail polish sat in the bottle just made it more tempting.

Review: tweets:) - ROFL

On the weekend, as I was browsing around Walmart, I noticed they finally placed up the tweets:) nail polishes.  tweets:) nail polish is from the company Tweets Cosmetics, who developed a nail polish that is water-based and supports healthy nail growth.

Tweets Cosmetics decided to name their polishes with short text names, which I think is funny.  You could see the other names on their site: here.

I decided to pick up ROFL (Rolling on the Floor Laughing), since I felt like I needed more orange polishes in my stash.  Not to mention I was drawn into the shimmers that glistened within the bottle.

Review: Polish Addict - In Bloom

Today I would like to share with you an Indie polish, In Bloom, from the Polish Addict company.  Laura and Crystal, the owners of Polish Addict Nail Color, recently had a sale and I wasn't sure what to grab so I just grabbed one which caught my eye the most.

Polish Addict Nail Color was created by Laura since she has a huge passion for nail polish so she wanted to create her own.  Honestly that is the best reason to create your own items.  I am super proud of her that she did, cause her nail polish collection thus far that she created look simply pretty!

Review: BA Star Natural Shadow Palette

Product Sample

Today I have a product from BA Star featuring their Natural Shadow Palette to show you.  I received this product from BrandBacker, which is a site that allows you to work with other companies to review products.  

BA Star is a company that focuses on cheerleaders, competitors, dancers, and such.  BA Star supplies a wide range of items from glitter stickers to eyeshadow to blush to headbands to duffles.  So perfect for those who are into cheerleading, dancing, and such.

It comes in a plastic wrapper package, and after opening the package to remove the shadow, I realized it was wrapped once more.  I was actually glad that it was nicely sealed.

For today I would like to share with you this cute pink dotted waterproof eyeliner by Yanqina that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.

I always loved the color combo of pink and black on items.  It reminded me of a girly sort of vintage feel to things.  The one bow, script writing, and the dots seriously enhance the package of this eyeliner more.

Review: Lord & Berry Cosmetics - Tulip Red & In the Black

Today I would like to share with you two items, Shining Lipstick Pencil Tulip Red & Smudgeproof Waterproof Eye Pencil In the Black, by a company that is fairly new:  Lord & Berry.

Review: Sleek Makeup i-Divine Ultra Matte V.1 Brights Palette

Today's review is a palette I came to learn to love.  I had it ever since Christmas, which was given to me by my hubs.  He knew for awhile I wanted this palette, but never bought it.  Sleek Makeup i-Divine Ultra Matte V.1 Bright Palette is not your average sort of palette.  This is a very colorful palette that might be intimidating to those not use to dealing with colors for eyeshadow.

Sleek Makeup claims that: Ultra Matte is intensely creamy, highly pigmented colors that are super blendable.  These mineral-based eyeshadows are so smooth in texture that they are ideal for contouring eyes and creating multi-dimensional looks.

Review: Hard Candy - Jubilee & Fantasy Makers - Once Upon a Time

Today I have swatches of Hard Candy's latest new polishes called Jubilee to show you.  For some reason I decided to pair it with a nail polish I haven't used for a while that is also a glitter polish, Fantasy Makers Once Upon a Time.

I love how much glitter is packed into these small bottles and not to mention jelly base!
