Silly Bee's Chickadees By A Lady Collection

*The following products were provided to me in exchange for my honest review.

I have for you today a lovely new collection by Silly Bee's Chickadees. This collection is called By A Lady and is inspired by the author, Jane Austen. This collection features three polishes that represent Austen's heroines in Sense & Sensibility, Emma, and Pride & Prejudice. These polishes are made to have a satin/matte finish, but wear beautifully with a top coat too.

Before we start, let me just say, AMAZING inspiration for a nail polish collection. I'm very excited about this!

Sass & Sensibility

Sass & Sensibility with top coat

Sass & Sensibility is a muted violet crelly with sparse micro holographic glitter.

Emmalicious 

Emmalicious with top coat

Emmalicious is a muted cornflower blue crelly with sparse micro holographic glitter.

Pride & Preciousness

Pride & Preciousness with top coat

Pride & Preciousness is a muted rose crelly with sparse micro holographic glitter.

Color: This collection color wise is perfection. When I think of Jane Austen and this time period these are exactly the colors I imagine. I love the muted softness of these shades. They're eye catching colors, but they're feminine and dainty at the same time. The added sparkle blends in these colors beautifully and makes these colors come alive.

Formula: Excellent formula. These were buttery and a dream to apply. I used 2 coats on each, and did not experience any issues. I like the satin finish of these, but I'm a gloss girl, so I prefer them with top coat.

Price: The full size bottles of the By A Lady collection are $10.00 each. You can also buy a mini trio set for $15.00. This collection can be purchased on Silly Bee's Chickadees etsy site.

Overall: I absolutely adore this collection. This is one of those collections that really blew me away. These are very simple colors, but they're done just perfectly. The colors reflect the inspiration, are well thought out, and executed well. I'm so pleased! By A Lady collection makes me smile!

KBShimmer Fall 2013 Swatches & Review

* I received the following products in exchange for my honest review by KBShimmer.

The September 1st release date of KBShimmer's fall collection is fast approaching! I have 3 of the polishes in the fall collection to share with you today. As usual, KBShimmer nails (pun intended) it with this collection. There is a great mix of satins, jellies, crellies, and shimmers that is sure to please everyone.

Excuse Me, I Blurped

Excuse Me, I Blurped is a blurple jelly base with blue, purple, and copper glitters.

Vicious Circles

Vicious Circles is a blood red jelly base with holographic silver circle glitter, hex holographic glitter, and holographic silver micro slices.

Turbulence

Turbulence is a satin matte slate gray with silver flakes and blue and fuchsia sparkle.

Turbulence w/ top coat

Colors: Beautiful mix of colors here. What I love is that KBShimmer has taken traditional fall colors pumped them up, and made them unique and special. This is something the mainstream brands have failed us on this year, but KBShimmer made it happen. I love the richness of these colors.

Formula: The formula on these was easy to use. The jellies require a bit of patience. I suggested waiting a little bit between each coat, so you can achieve an even look. I used 3 coats for each of these swatches.

Price: These will be $8.75 each. The release date is this coming Sunday (Sept 1st) on KBShimmer's website.

Overall: Beautiful, unique, and well made colors. I love these, and continue to adore KBShimmer creations. Be sure to check out the full collection of colors being released. I will definitely purchasing the rest of this collection on the release date!
