FUN Lacquer Summer 2015 Collection

Pass the electric fan and the ice cold Snapple cause this collection is HAAAWWWTTT BETTTCH. It's so juicy I almost felt inclined to bite into these glowing holo glitter glass bottles. This is FUN Lacquer's new Summer 2015 collection - six vivid oh-so-saturated holo jellies with scattered micro gold holographic glitters throughout!

You can find these at my fav nail polish shop, Live Love Polish, for international shipping (best option for USA and Canada customers, ships out of USA), or direct from FUN Lacquer (ships out of Singapore)!

Powder Perfect: Holos from the Hardwicke collection

Introducing a brand new to me, Powder Perfect! They hail from Australia (why is it so many excellent polishes come from AU, why?!?) and today I've got three polishes from their latest release, the Hardwicke collection (consisting of a total of 9 polishes). But look, HELLLOOO HOOOLOOO HOW I'VE MISSED YOU.

Mentality jelly chromes - put the shimmer in your spring!

Swatchy swatch swatch time with a totally new formula to me, "jelly chromes"?!? huh?

These three new Mentality 'jelly chromes' are from Harlow & Co., an international indie nail polish store! They have an awesome selection of the other Mentality jelly chrome polishes, including the darker 'Tetrachromes' line! So basically I gather that they are jelly-ish in texture cause they a tad translucent on the first coat, and they are chromey because of their reflective shimmery glass-like flecks? I think? I don't even know, juST LOOK AT THEM OKAY.

Enchanted flakies: Magical hidden wonders of the world

Ohhhh mahhh gawdddd more multi-chrome flakies, shocker!!! Well it is the year of the flakies after all so... it was to be expected that the elusive indie line Enchanted Polish release a flakie collection!! Inspired by I dunno, I'm going to guess enchantment, these six flakies with an added splash of fine holo are enough to save that annoying princess from the tower or whatever!! They are truly magical and their smaller flakie size and super fine holo sets them apart from some of other flakies out there. But don't make me choose a favourite - I NEED AND LOVE THEM ALL.

I Love Nail Polish 2015 Spring Collection

Spring supposedly happened a while back but it's still under 0 degrees C where I am (Ottawa, Canada), so therefore I'M NOT LATE WITH THIS COLLECTION AT ALL. I bring you the new-ish I Love Nail Polish (ILNP) Spring 2015 collection, ten stunning shades in all!

Well actually there's 12 shades in this collection but the missing two from here are two new additions to ILNP's staple multi-chrome mega-epic flakies! I'm saving them for some flakie spam later on (for past ILNP flakie spam, see this blog post).

FUN Lacquer: Limited edition Love 2014 Collection

Moar multi-chrome holos, MOAAAARRRRR. Here's FUN Lacquer's newest collection, the limited edition Love 2015 collection! You grab some direct from FUN Lacquer (ships from Singapore) or from one of their stockists. I personally love to order from Live Love Polish, where you'll find this whole collection available for pre-order right now (which means you'll guarantee it'll be yours - they sell out so fast!) many other FUN's, and a bunch of other must-have indie holos!!

This collection includes eight gorgeous new polishes that represent the different types of love we experience in our lives including the love for partner, parents, siblings and friends. There's four unique shades that each come with a holo glitter twin, of course!

Painted Polish: Multi-chrome flakies with HOLO

You knew this was coming - Painted Polish, the indie line known for their endless options of holo glitter polishes, has come out with a holo-glitter packed multi-chrome flakie... WATT. Say that again? I've got Part I right here right meow - make sure to watch @paintedpolishbylexi's Instagram feed for details on Part II! These three deadly shifty babies were actually released back on January 16th. Yes, and three months later, I swatch them, IKR. I am officially the worst blogger ever. Whatever just forget that and LOOK AT THE HOLO GLITTER N SHIFTY FLAKIES, LOOOOOOKKKKAHHHHH #shitnailartistssay

Glam Polish the White Witch Collection - oh so enchanting!

Glammmm gawwwgeousssss!!! I've got some highly anticipated swatches of the new Glam Polish the Cast a Spell Collection Part III collection! This collection was released March 4 I'm just slow af obviously :D But just turn your attention to these sparkling pastel holo shades packed full of holographic glitter and you'll completely forget that I'm sharing this way past the release date. Details on where to grab yours at the end of the post!

In Glam Polish's previous Cast a Spell Collections, the world of dark magic was explored. Part III "The White Witch Collection" is inspired by white magic, the use of supernatural powers or magic for good and selfless purposes.

Scroll down and don't miss some comparison pics with other Glam Polish's from other collections ;)

You're prob wondering why I said three new polishes and there's clearly only two here... scroll down and you'll find out... though you may regret it LOL.

Starrily flakies: Get excited for some flakie porn

... 'scuse me while I wipe my drool off the table, cause I've got 16 - yes that's SIXTEEN - epic new multi-chrome flakies to entice you with today. Starrily is a new brand to me, having never tried their products before, but let me tell you, my oh my was this was a great way to break my Starrily cherry. The two new collections, aptly titled 'Mythology flakies' and 'Heavenly holos', are both full of rich opaque multi-chrome flakies. Yes yes, we all already know 2015 is the year of the flakies and now more and more brands are coming out with them... but you know what I say: MOAR FLAKIES MOARRR!

Glam Polish 'Fatal Attraction' trio from Hypnotic Polish

Back to shorter nails for this post (no, I did not cut/break them again, I just did these in mid-January and haven't had a chance to edit them until now - so sue me). The 'Fatal Attraction' trio consists of three polishes by Glam Polish that are exclusive to the Hypnotic Polish shop. What an interesting colour combo! I was immediately drawn to the two darker ones as their finishes are a bit more complex in terms of varying micro-glitters. Sparklies!!! Unfortunately this doesn't really translate on the nail, so the epic appearance of the polish in the bottle is kind of deceiving :\

Chrome holo flakies from Painted Polish... it just had to happen

So we've thought we've seen every kind of flakie out there - the translucent colour-shifty kind, the multi-chrome/ultra-chrome coloured kind, the metallic kind, the chrome kind... but now I've discovered the FLAKUS MAXIMUS of the year by Painted Polish, which is a - get this - a mirror chrome flakie with holo glitters scattered throughout!! Waaattttt.

In doing these swatches I also tested a new product by the makers of my fav nail oil (Bliss Kiss), called Simply Peel. It's a latex barrier similar in composition to the numerous other brands of latex products for quick and easy post-gradient/stamping/watermarble/otherwise nail art mess removal (e.g., Liquid Palisade, Nail Veil, Mess No More, costume body latex products, etc.).

I often 'sponge on' my glitter and flakies directly onto the nail to maximize polish coverage and minimize clumpiness - the sponge actually absorbs the jelly in the nail polish thus allowing a smoother coat of polish to stick to the nail with less of the jelly. You can check out a video tutorial on how to maximize glitter payoff on YouTube here. But what a mess this causes on my skin, right?!? I used Simply Peel around my nails to help protect my skin from getting flaked out and I must say I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!

Take a trip to outer space with KPT's Cosmic Xodus I Collection

Ooooh sparkly droppings from space! Nail polish > space travel anyways. Say haaayyy to Polished by KPT's Cosmic Xodus I collection! Polished by KPT is a new brand to me, and their formulas are so dynamic within the same collection - the application of each one was like unleashing a whole new bottle of wonder on mah nails every time! This collection is now available from Harlow & Co., an awesome indie polish stockist! This collection is not limited edition, which means you can restock your shelves with these space babies when they get abducted by aliens or whatever.

Painted Polish translucent flakies... UM WOW

I've got three new Painted Polish babies for you... and they're actually NOT holo glitter?!?! UM WAT. They're flakies! And traditional flakies in the sense that they're translucent, so what we first understood as flakies back in 2011 or whenever the nail world was first introduced to this magical 8th wonder of the world. Essentially they are all glass-shard like pieces that illuminate through their transparency when the light hits them. These three are suspended in a clear base and as such are best used over a base colour. Black it is!!

*These are all limited edition and two are already out of stock* (sorry to tease you and then leave you...)

El Corazon active-bio gel polishes: Review and sparkle

A new polish brand to me, El Corazon has released a massive line of "active bio gel" polishes, which are dubbed a "nail treatment that looks, applies and removes like a regular nail polish, but at the same time helps to strengthen your nails and gradually improve their condition. It is easy to apply, dries very quickly and lasts on your nails much longer than regular polishes." The two I have here today have a jelly formula with holographic flakies, unlike any polish I've seen before! There is so much depth to these polishes and I'm in love with their multi-dimensional result, especially the purple. These El Corazon polishes and many more colour options are available from Hypnotic Polish, an international indie polish stockist.
