Review: Super Black Lacquers - Son of a Space Ghost

Sponsored

Today I have a super gorgeous Super Black Lacquer's glitter polish to share with you, called Son of a Space Ghost.  This product was received for review purposes.


Natalie Dee did such a wonderful job on this black base glittery goodness polish.

I love the massive amount of fine fuschia glitter, small hex purple glitter, medium sized holo pink and silver glitters sitting within a sheer black jelly base.

The black base is so mystifying to be honest.  Because sometimes I think its a dark purple base but it's actually a black!  Super gorgeous!

Review: KKCenterHk - Rose Pink Heart Studs

Sponsored

Today I have a nail art decoration from KKCenterHk that is their N.Nail Heart Rose Pink Stud, which I received for review purposes.  KKCenterHk carries a wide range of studs, as well as other products for your nails and makeup.  Not to mention they also carry wigs.

I love the shape of these heart studs, since that is exactly how I draw my hearts.  Not to mention they stand out to me with how pink it is as well as the shape is different from the other heart studs I have.

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.

To follow what is going on with SUPER BLACK Lacquer you could check them out on:

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: Black Rose Torus and Pearl Ring

Sponsored

Today I have another jewelry accessory from BornPrettyStore to share with you.  It is a Black rose torus & pearl ring, that also comes in a gold version.  This product was received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes only.

How beautiful does that rose torus pearl ring look?  The pearl and crystal rhinestone enhanced the design of this alloyed ring more.  The mesh twisted rose is actually very sturdy.  When I first saw the ring, I thought it was going to be flimsy and come off very easily.  All of the decorations are secured very securely into the twisted alloy ring.

You are able to adjust the ring by spreading it apart to make it bigger or squeeze them together to make it tighter.

As I tightened the ring, I shook my hand to see if it would fall off or shift a bit while wearing it.  Some rings that I have, for example the ones where the band is basically elastic with metal clasp over it, still shifted left to right a bit.  It doesn't feel heavy at all.

The Rose Torus & Pearl Rings are gorgeous and super budget friendly!  BornPrettyStore sells them only for $2.76 a piece!  What an awesome steal for that price!  When I was discussing it with hubs he thought I actually paid at least $10 sum for it!  Simply just gorgeous!

Don't forget you could use my code LARJ61 to get a 10% off your purchase!

BornPrettyStore carries a lot of wonderful jewelry accessories that aren't too pricey!  So make sure to check them out while you are shopping for your nail art goodies!

What do you think about this ring?  Have you bought any accessories from BPS yet?

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

Seven Deadly Sins Challenge: Gluttony

For this week's Seven Deadly Sins Challenge the theme is Gluttony.  We had a choice between doing spun sugar nails, what makes our stomach growl, or do both of them.  Like I told you in my previous challenge, I will only be doing one.   I went with spun sugar nails and decided to do my typical way of doing them.

At first I wanted to do pastels since well it is spring, but I wasn't really feeling it as much.

The nail polishes I used are:

• China Glaze Lemon Fizz
• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac
• China Glaze Refresh-mint
• Zoya Kristen
• Milani Nail Lacquer U Pinky Swear

So like I said I just wasn't feeling pastels at that time.  I ended up removing it the next day and decided I would use the nail polishes from the Duri Cosmetic's Spring Collection to do a spun sugar look.  You could see my review and more details about it HERE.

Nail Polishes used:

• Satin Treat
• Afterhours
• Call Me Maybe
• Dream Catcher
• Showstopper 
• One Night Only

Which one do you prefer?  Have you done spun sugar nails yet?

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

Review: Punk Style Heart Crystal Silver Nail Ring

Sponsored

Today I would like to share with you another jewelry accessory that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  On the site they call it, Punk Style Round Crystal Diamond Fake Nail Ring, but I will tell you why I put "heart" later on in my post.  If you still have not checked out the jewelry accessories section on BornPrettyStore, you are missing out on some wonderful goodies on there.  BPS even just released some couple rings on their site!

I ended up receiving the silver plated one and thought it was a neat addition to my jewelry accessories stash. I don't have any nail rings at all so this was my first, and I was already impressed how it looks.

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

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.

How gorgeous does that Bohemian bracelet look?  You will be shocked to find out how much it cost!  Its total budget friendly!

Review: Dolly Eye Lathae Violet

Today I have a Dolly Eye Lathae Violet circle lens to show you.  I received this from Uniqso for review purposes.  Uniqso is a big eye circle lens company that is based in Malaysia.  They also carry products like eyeliner, mascara, and false lashes for your big eye look or just an everyday look.

What is wonderful about Uniqso circle lenses as well, is that you could either pick your subscription for eye-ware or have it at a 0.00 rate.  There is a wide range of the big eye circle lens to natural size lens you could pick from.

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!  

Seven Deadly Sins Week 1: Lust

Recently my friend Alice from One Nail to Rule Them All, invited me to join the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge with several other nail gals.  This challenge had a choice of doing it daily, two a week, or once a week.  I decided to do once a week.  For this week the sin was lust, where we had to pick something that we always have wanted to do.

I don't think it was something I have always wanted to do but it was something I have been wanting to do for a while.  It was water spotted nails with turquoise stone nails.  I have wanted to do them ever since I saw Lex from Attacked Astoria Nails do them.  

Ugh let me tell you, I would rather do a water marble nail look than water spotted nail.  It has been just crazy how much polish I wasted trying to get it right.  Oh but it won't stop me from trying it again.  Like they say "Practice makes perfect."   The ring finger color blocking look was inspired by my friend Sarah from Chalkboard Nails.  

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.
