Review: Super Black Lacquers - Weird Girl

Sponsored

Awhile ago Natalie Dee, the owner of Super Black Lacquers, released the Summer shades in a box set.  She was kind enough to send me it for review purposes.  I thought it would be best to show one nail polish at a time.  Sort of like a tease!  I will show you a picture of the box set later on in this post.

So today I decided to show you an odd one of the bunch, called Weird Girl.

Each Super Black Lacquer bottles are 18ml/.61 fl oz, and cost $12 a piece.  They are the Big 4-FREE, which means no Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, or Formaldehyde resin.  Not to mention ND is a super sweetie!

Review: Maquillage Blvd. - Vibrant Thang

Press Sample

Today on my blog I have one of Maquillage Blvd. nail polishes to show you, called Vibrant Thang.  Maquillage Blvd. debuted on March 1, 2013 with 16 wonderful 3-free shades of nail polish.  Maquillage [MAC-kee-YAHJ] Blvd. was named for an American cosmetic brand that was best noted for it's French origin and style.

Vibrant Thang is maroon with small pink particles in it for shimmer.

When I applied the nail polish I didn't really notice that pink shimmer.  It looked more creamy in person.  But at certain angles, as you can see, you can catch a glimpse of it sneaking through.

I was simply amazed by how the nail polish glided on smoothly, and it didn't take really long for it to dry.  The swatch pictures were two coats.

Each of Maquillage Blvd polishes are $10 a piece for .5 fl oz bottle.  To keep in touch with them:

Review: Glitter Gal - Nude & Marine Blue Holo Polish

Sponsored

Today I have two wonderful holo Glitter Gal nail polishes to show you:  Marine Blue, and Nude.  Glitter Gal was kind enough to send me these polishes for review purposes.  Anna and Kerry have been friends for almost 20 years and had met at a law firm, and later on down the road to create the Indie polish company, Glitter Gal Australia.  Both these beautiful ladies had something to offer to Glitter Gal Cosmetics.  Anna had created a private label cosmetics business, and made products for some of the biggest Asian and American companies.  Kerry use to be a model and a makeup artist.  One day Anna's husband, who is a special effects color technician, had introduced them to non-traditional pigments which was the start of Kerry and Anna's amazing quest for Glitter Gal.  They use the highest quality of ingredients for their products!

Each bottle comes in two sizes to choose from: 10ml or a 15ml size.  I received two 10ml size which I found are still way better than the normal minis I would get from other companies.  I like that the bottles are square which makes it easier for me to store within my helmer.

Review: Shimmer Polish - Eva & Tammy

Sponsored

Hello Darlings!  How are you all doing lately?  I hope all is well.  Today I have two pretty Indie nail polishes from Shimmer Polish to share with you, which was sent to me for review purposes.

Shimmer Polish was designed out of Orange County.  SoCal is home to me, so it's wonderful to see that there are Indie nail polish makers from around here.  Cindy has a brilliant line and I love that she names and designs her polish after her all the special people in her life.

Eva is a nice burgundy red jelly base that has a mixture of fine micro-glitters of burgundy, black, and silver.

With Top Coat

Without Top Coat in Direct Sunlight

For an opacity look it took three base coats.  The fine micro-glitter gives the polish a more in-depth look.  You could see the previous glitters as you layer the polish.

Tammy is absolutely gorgeous with its mixture of gold, black, and purple glitter mixture of bars, hex, and square glitter.  I love this color combo since I use those shades for my makeup looks time to time.

I decided to wear this polish by itself with a top coat over it to smooth it out.  To achieve opacity it takes two to three coats.

I love that these actually dried fast and I didn't have to fish out for glitters on both of them.  There was no horrible smell that gave me a headache at all.

You could purchase Cindy's Shimmer Polishes at her ETSY Shop for $12 each and she also takes custom orders.  So make sure to check out her other wonderful polishes that she has to offer.
