Review: Konad Nail Art - Stamp Image Plate #M93


Today I would like to share with you one of the latest Konad Stamp Image Plates to hit the Nail Polish Canada shop.  I decided to pick Image Plate #M93, which was received for review purposes.  Nail Polish Canada is an online store based in Canada, who focuses on helping one find some of the best nail polish and beauty products out there.  They carry brands from Lime Crime, Misa, Nubar, Kryolan, and Glitter Gal just to name a few.

Before I continue, I wanted to let you know that Nail Polish Canada is currently having a contest/giveaway for the 5 latest Konad Image Plates.  So make sure to check it out on their website as well as their Facebook for more details.  Sadly it does state Canada only, but if you live there and love image plates ENTER!


Konad Image Plate #M93 contains a total of five images:  a leopard sort of print, checkers, cubes, and hearts.  There are four full size nail stamps.  Each image is embedded into a metal plate.

Review: Super Black Lacquers - Weird Girl


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: Alessandro International - Blue Nuit

Today I have a wonderful nail polish from Alessandro International, called Blue Nuit.  This product was received for review purposes. Alessandro has been around since 1989 and has focused by unrivaled quality, exclusivity and innovation.  Their motto is "We are never satisfied with 'good' - we want to be, 'better'," which fills them up with pride.  They are proud of many exclusive patents and the "world's firsts" that reaffirm the company's leading role within nail designs.  Designing high quality products, tools and seasonal collections which are inspired by international fashion trends.  Their heart is in the right place as they focus on what women around the world need what is best for their hands, feet and nails.  Alessandro designed 99 top fashion colors that are meant to make the heart of any nail polishaholic's heart skip a beat.

Alessandro's nail polish are BIG 3-Free.  They do not contain harmful ingredients: Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Toulene, and Formaldehyde.  They last long on the nails and there are no chipping.  The high color intensifies due to UV absorber, which helps protect the nails.  Not to mention they have a high gloss shine!

Review: Maquillage Blvd. - Vibrant Thang


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


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.
